Chu Yinan was about to leave the stage to accept his award from the female demon, but seeing the silence of the wealthy men and women below, Chu Yinan's emotional intelligence shone through, and he gave everyone a way out:
"This story is hard for everyone to figure out, mainly because it's incomplete and lacks character motivation. It's definitely not a coincidence that the little boy encountered such strange things; it's more likely that someone was secretly inducing him. If we added a little more plot, it would probably be even more interesting."
I can guess why; it's because the Minagawa family owns a tourist property, and the layout is just like in the story, which puzzled me for a long time back then.
The audience looked at Chu Yinan's drawing and compared it with the information in the comic strip, and found that his statement was indeed feasible.
Initially, everyone was embarrassed by their initial guess of a "ghost story," but after hearing Chu Yinan's conciliatory words, they all relaxed and had another way to shirk responsibility.
Hmm! I have no problem, the problem lies with the question setter! It's as absurd as giving you a math problem without providing any parameters, only a short story about the rain and asking you to calculate how much the tissues used cost.
"This comic book is so harmful, so incredibly harmful! The rough, graffiti-like lines are creepy just looking at it. The first picture gives the impression of a ghost story, and I was completely misled!"
"But this illusionary manipulation is very clever. It creates the atmosphere of a ghost story from the beginning to lure people in, but in reality it is disguised as a reasonable story. It's very wicked."
"Where are the Minagawa family's businesses located? If they are designed according to the ideas in the story, then that's really impressive."
"If it's a complete story, I think the landlady at the front desk who doesn't have her face painted is also very suspicious. She hasn't even used the murder case yet, but later on, this reckless little boy will most likely get into trouble."
Discussions like this don't last long; everyone's just trying to ease the awkwardness with a joke or two, and there's not much point in going into a deeper discussion.
The conversation naturally veered towards the question, "Who is this pretty boy bullying?"
"There's such a person in the Minagawa family? That shouldn't be the case. I've never heard of him before. Is this a man that Minagawa Izumi found outside the family?"
"It doesn't seem like it. He just came from the Lefie family's location. The two families haven't had any dealings before."
"But it seems that these two families are working together to promote this young man they've never met before. Is there more to the story?"
After finishing his "meeting report," Chu Yinan hurriedly returned to his seat.
He faced countless suspicious glances along the way, but Chu Yinan didn't care. After all, no one would recognize him once he turned back. Now it was time to receive his award.
"When should we go for tea? This is so frustrating... Wait, where did everyone go?" Chu Yinan wanted to go over and ask the female demon when she could redeem her prize, but the spot was empty.
Only the waiters remained to prevent anyone from barging into the Minagawa family's seats and causing trouble.
This seat may be empty, but it's not for just anyone to come and sit here.
Morgan glanced sideways at Heinrich, who was observing nearby. She got up to leave, and Morgan felt there was no point in staying. Her screen time was about right, and there was no need to continue in the second half.
"You're leaving, are you planning to stay?"
Chu Yinan quickly caught up with her aunt: "Okay, wait for me."
......
On the way back, the three of them rode in the same car.
Heinrich joked with Morgan about Rotfal's embarrassing behavior and expressed his regret that "only so few relatives came."
The woman's father reflected deeply on this, realizing he shouldn't have gone fishing with his tribesmen before the island's evening banquet; otherwise, more tribesmen would have come.
Chu Yinan sat in the back seat, listening to the two parents' speeches, wondering if he would be questioned about Minagawa Izumi.
Before he could even speak, the car had already returned to the manor gate, where Yan Liu was standing guard, watching him intently.
Chu Yinan hadn't changed back yet, so he quickly lay down to avoid being discovered.
"Heinrich, where did Xiao Chunan go? Where did you take him to play?"
Chapter 145 is still pushing too hard.
"Aunt Liu, I'm here!"
Chu Yinan's voice came from the back seat, but Yan Liu couldn't see anyone. When she opened the car door, she found that the little guy had fallen off the seat and was wearing a rather unsuitable adult suit.
Chu Yinan couldn't really be described as wearing clothes; he was completely wrapped up, with only his small head peeking out from the loose collar.
Seeing this, Yan Liu couldn't help but chuckle: "Why are you dressed like that? Did you go for a drive with Heinrich?"
The young woman carried Chu Yinan to a seat and then noticed that Chu Yinan's outfit was quite complete. He had a tie, socks, and even shiny leather shoes, although they were all hanging loosely.
What's going on here?
Chu Yinan promptly shifted the blame to Heinrich, saying that she and her aunt had discussed having him work part-time as a male companion. "Heinrich said he would give me a mature and formal outfit, which I think I can save for later."
"Even if you're going to save it for later, you don't have to wear it now. Did you lose the clothes you wore for dinner?" Yan Liu tugged at his clothes. "This is ridiculous. Why did you even get such a big pair of underwear? It's so big you could wear it as a vest."
Chu Yinan himself felt stupid, but fortunately he hadn't been exposed. For the time being, he could only accept Aunt Liu's teasing: "Let me try it out first... Oh, Aunt Liu, don't pull down my pants, or I won't be able to go out and face people. I have to save face."
"You still have some shame!" Yan Liu pinched his little nose, took off the extra pants and suit jacket, leaving him with only a long-sleeved shirt to wear.
But that's enough. At least it won't expose her. It's almost like wearing a nightgown, with a small section of Chu Yinan's calf and ankle barely showing under the shirt.
Yan Liu didn't wait for Heinrich and carried Chu Yinan back to the house first.
The first floor of the mansion was covered with a red carpet, exuding an air of nobility. Maids who met Yan Liu on the way would stop to greet her and thoughtfully ask if she needed help carrying Chu Yinan.
Chu Yinan had a sense of shame, and he was too embarrassed to show his face in this disheveled state. So he could only hug Yan Liu's neck and droop his chin on her fragrant shoulder, pretending to be asleep.
It wasn't until Yan Liu carried him back to his room that Chu Yinan "came back to life." When he looked up, he saw Bei Yutang taking off her stockings, seemingly preparing to take a shower.
The older sister had a slender yet voluptuous figure and a maturity beyond her years. She placed her black stockings aside, walked over, and pinched Chu Yinan's cheek.
"Mom, why did you dress Chu Nan up like this?" As she spoke, she lifted up Chu Yinan's shirt to take a peek, and patted the little guy's butt.
"Don't take pictures randomly, they charge money!" Chu Yinan casually warned.
Seeing his bad temper, Bei Yutang grabbed his hand and asked, "Oh~ how much? Name your price."
Chu Yinan momentarily forgot that Yu Tang was not short of money, but still stubbornly said, "It's still in the pre-sale stage, let's wait for the press conference!"
The smiling woman sat on the bed, but showed no intention of letting Chu Yinan get off the bed to play by himself. She still held him in her arms: "He's in this state because of Heinrich. I guess he was out shopping with Morgan and on a whim changed little Chu Yinan into this outfit. I didn't want the suit and stuff, so I left it in the car. I only left him with a piece of cloth to cover his body. Otherwise, I would have brought him back completely naked."
Bei Yutang postponed her bath plan for the time being. A girl's nose is still very sensitive; she sniffed the little guy and noticed a hint of alcohol in addition to men's cologne. She asked seriously:
"What's going on? Did she go drinking with Heinrich?"
Chu Yinan hadn't drunk any; he probably bumped into some drunkard while walking around at the banquet.
“Heinrich drank it, and Aunt Morgan also had a small glass. I don’t drink alcohol.”
Bei Yutang nodded, indicating "That's more like it." She took a few steps back, letting her mother turn Chu Yinan around, and said with a smile, "If I put a wig on you, you could look like a little girl in a dress. Do you want me to buy you a more expensive white dress so you can walk around the house a couple of times to get used to it?"
Chu Yinan's eyes widened. Dressed as a woman and strolling around the mansion? Where would I, the young master, put my face? The maids would laugh at me later.
"That's inappropriate, it would damage my reputation. Yu Tang, why don't you try wearing men's clothes!"
Bei Yutang was unfazed by Chu Yinan's retaliation. She hugged Chu Yinan and led him to the wardrobe to show him the business suits inside.
"Sure, I'll wear a men's business suit once, and you can wear a women's business suit, how about that?"
That would still be a loss for me. It's perfectly normal for women to wear suits. Most of the time, female fathers wear suit pants and no one would think it's inappropriate. But if a man wears a business suit, then there's a huge problem.
"That won't work either. You're using a fallacy of equivocation; the effects are completely different!"
After exchanging a few words with her sister, Chu Yinan realized that her current disadvantage lay in the ill-fitting white shirt she was wearing. If she didn't change it, the conversation would inevitably veer towards women's clothing.
"I'm going to take a shower and change back into my clothes!"
Yan Liu hadn't had enough of his silly outfit yet, and changing back so soon meant he probably wouldn't wear it again. She immediately went over, picked Chu Yinan up, and hugged him, coaxing him:
"Why are you in such a hurry to switch back? Your sister is the same, teasing you and pressuring you, and she's pushing you so hard that our little Chu Nan can't take it anymore and is about to get angry."
Chu Yinan nodded smugly as he heard Yan Liu favoring him and speaking in his favor:
"Yes, yes, that's how Yu Tang usually treats me, she's so oppressive that I can't take it anymore."
The beautiful woman laughed heartily: "Then if you can't stand Yu Tang anymore, just come find Aunt Liu. Aunt Liu will only love you dearly~"
Bei Yutang frowned. This old woman was trying to sow discord, seizing the opportunity to harp on the little brat. "Mom, you can't always protect him like this, practically holding him in your mouth. Aren't you afraid he'll melt if you keep doing this?"
"So what if it melts? At worst, we can just swallow it and continue to protect it! Do you expect me to let my own little brat hang out to dry without holding it in?"
Chu Yinan felt that Aunt Liu's words made sense, although something seemed a little strange about them, and she had a bad feeling.
Oh! I understand.
If I get too cocky now, Yu Tang will definitely give me a hard time later. I need to be more emotionally intelligent. A tough guy doesn't hold grudges against women!
“Aunt Liu, Yu Tang’s words make sense. Getting some sun can help you grow taller through photosynthesis. Staying indoors all the time is indeed not good.”
Yan Liu lightly poked Chu Yinan's forehead, knowing that he had switched sides and was speaking up for Yu Tang. "You still think you're photosynthesizing, do you think you're just a blade of grass? It's getting late, hurry up and let Yu Tang get you some clothes and help you take a bath."
Chu Yinan climbed off Yan Liu's plump thighs, carefully lifting his shirt to avoid tripping, and waved his hand at Yu Tang:
"Elbow, I'll take you to take a bath."
Chapter 146 Missing You
Bei Yutang's bathing time varies dynamically, mainly depending on the time available for bathing.
It's still early before bedtime, so I'll take a little longer to wash my hair. It's already very late at night, so I'll hurry up and finish washing and drying my hair before going to sleep. At my fastest, I'm not much slower than Chu Yinan.
Chu Yinan went to work part-time that night. It felt like no time had passed, but in reality, it was already 10:30 when she took a shower.
After a quick shower, Bei Yutang wrapped her little brother in a bath towel, packed him up, and took him back to her room.
After drying himself in a bath towel, Chu Yinan crawled into his sister's bed to see how Bei Yutang's bedroom was. If it was better than his, Chu Yinan would complain.
However, in reality, they should be about the same. Apart from the different colors of the bedding and the fact that the blankets smelled of her older sister, everything else was the same.
"Yutang, get me a whole set of clothes. I'm going back to sleep."
"No, it's not a big deal to run back naked like this, is it? Or can I lend you a skirt to cover yourself?" As Bei Yutang spoke, she confiscated Chu Yinan's bath towel, cutting off his escape route back to his room by covering himself with the bath towel.
It was truly a careless oversight; Chu Yinan had taken a hasty shower and hadn't brought any clothes with her.
"You tricked me! I just stuck to my own ideas and went back to my room." After criticizing his sister for being unfair, Chu Yinan settled into his sister's bed and took out his phone to peek at her screen before going to sleep.
Compared to the hustle and bustle during the day, as night falls, even the most lively class groups begin to quiet down, leaving only a few people online.
The topics discussed were 30% internship, 30% study, and 40% impressions of visiting Glory Island.
Song Maren is probably the kind of person who can't stand not showing off. Despite being repeatedly attacked by Chu, the argumentative jerk Yinan, and suffering several setbacks, Song Maren still hasn't given up on boasting about his life.
Judging from his personality, he has the potential to be a micro-business owner. It's a pity he was born at the wrong time. Micro-businesses are already extinct in this era. He was born at the wrong time.
Now that no one in the class group is praising his boasting, Song Maren has proactively reduced the intensity of his bragging, changing it to a tone of "It's a real pity that you couldn't witness this scene in person."
[Song Maren: The man who answered the question looked only a year or two older than us, but his thinking was truly remarkable; he was able to glean so much information from that story of missing skin and bones.]
He also uploaded a photo, which clearly showed Chu Yinan going on stage, but the head was hidden by a black hole—the AI sisters were concealing Chu Yinan's identity so that no one could capture his face in the photo.
