Normal people would think, "How is the acting of this character?" or "Is the character design good?" But Heinrich had some understanding of Chu Yinan, this little brat.
As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father. The woman gently pinched his chin and said, "You have a good figure. Judging from your age, you should be in your thirties to forty-one or forty-two. If you take good care of yourself, how about I find you a new stepmother?"
He spoke such domineering and bandit-like words in such a calm and ordinary tone.
Chu Yinan immediately felt this was inappropriate and rebuked him, "Heinrich, that's not right of you! How could you say such hurtful things! I asked about the acting, and what you're saying is so unfair to Aunt Liu, you scumbag!"
Bei Yutang knew the two were joking, so she didn't say anything. They'd made even more outrageous jokes before; she'd just tell them during dinner.
Heinrich's thought process was likely not on the same level as that of ordinary people.
She made a series of surprising remarks, saying casually, "It's just that the socially recognized marriage contract has changed, it's not like the relationship has broken down. I'll tie Yan Liu to you, and I'll find this villainous aunt to be your stepmother. Wouldn't you feel more immersed when you watch Ultraman then?"
How can I possibly relate to this? Am I supposed to transform into Ultraman and fight this mature female villain, Aunt Hyun-eun?!
Or will I become that tragic, righteous protagonist team member who gets trampled on by her high heels?
"Stop, stop! How can a contractual relationship be changed so easily? If you keep joking around, it will affect the harmony of the family!" Chu Yinan stopped the female father's outrageous remarks.
Heinrich was like that—serious and proper, not interested in or involved in too many social circles, giving off a somewhat hermit-like air. But in reality, she would often joke like that with a blank expression.
If you didn't know her character, you'd probably assume she was serious.
The anime series is nearing its end, and it's almost lunchtime.
Yan Liu came in and urged them to go out for dinner. The beautiful young woman pushed open the door and came in. After discovering that the three of them were watching Ultraman together, she looked at them with a smile.
"What's going on with you all today? You've all been kidnapped by Xiao Chunan and forced to watch Ultraman?"
"What do you mean I coerced them? They watched it willingly! Yu Tang and Heinrich's taste has improved dramatically by two levels." Chu Yinan defended himself.
Bei Yutang suddenly became cunning. She said casually, "Just now, Chu Nan took a fancy to the female villain in Ultraman and was discussing with Heinrich about changing her stepmother."
The ingenuity of language lies in its cleverness; sometimes, changing the subject can cause a huge change in meaning.
"Chu Yinan discussed changing stepmothers with Heinrich" and "Heinrich discussed changing stepmothers with Chu Yinan" have two different meanings.
While that's true, the meaning is completely off! It makes it sound like he wanted to change it willingly!
"Aunt Liu, don't listen to Yu Tang, I didn't say that!"
"Hmm?" Yan Liu approached the ungrateful brat and said seriously, "Don't lie to me. Did you discuss this with Heinrich?"
"Yes, it is, but I didn't say it myself!"
Bei Yutang casually remarked from the side, "Who was it that first brought up 'what's this female villain like?'"
Chu was suffocated to the south.
Yan Liu's smile was full of familial warmth. She gently patted Chu Yinan's head and said, "It seems you haven't been affectionate with Aunt Liu enough lately, and you're having some issues with her, aren't you? Looks like I'll have to give you some honest parent-child lessons during your bath tonight!"
Chu Yinan: "!!"
------
Yu Tang is definitely angry, right?
After taking a shower and leaving the bathroom, Chu Yinan returned to her room, covering the two hickeys on her neck.
Yan Liu definitely knew it was a joke, and she wouldn't actually believe Bei Yutang's one-sided words. She was just using the excuse to get Chu Yinan to work as a back-scrubbing child laborer.
Moreover, after washing your body, you can have a appropriately sized "pillow" when you take a bath, so why not?
The rule prohibiting Chu Yinan from taking a bath alone should be included in the family rules.
As Chu Yinan sat at his desk, still struggling with how to bring it up with Yu Tang, Bei Yu Tang spoke first.
The girl, fresh from her bath, was dressed lightly in a loose tank top that revealed her toned abdomen, with visible V-lines next to her navel.
She pulled up her chair and sat down next to Chu Yinan: "Last time you bit your toes, and it hurt your heart. Are you still angry about it?"
In Bei Yutang's opinion, Chu Yinan's behavior today must be because he was upset about the incident at the club last time and went to seek comfort from an older sister who was unaware of the situation.
Chu Yinan spoke arrogantly: "That's not true. I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against petty people."
Bei Yutang leaned down, and Chu Yinan, who was still stunned by the sudden appearance of her snow-white chest muscles, had his cheeks cupped by her, and was forced to look into the girl's eyes:
"No? Then your relationship with Jiang Xuanya shouldn't be that close, right? You went on a date and went to a private room to watch a show together. Or... are you trying to annoy me, you little rascal?"
"No, I was worried that you might be petty and angry with me when you came back, Yu Tang. I would never intentionally upset you. I just..." Chu Yinan thought for the right answer, "I'm just a customer service representative and someone who likes Ultraman, so we can exchange ideas."
Furthermore, Chu Yinan unexpectedly learned today that Aunt Hyun Eun was actually his childhood goddess. If they meet again in the future, he should definitely shake hands with her properly.
"If you still want to watch it later, I'll go with you, or you can invite Jiang Xuanya to your house to watch it together. But you're not allowed to go out with her to open a private screening room again, okay?" Bei Yutang felt that this was the bottom line, and Chu Nan should agree.
Just then, a cell phone on the table lit up. It was Chu Yinan's phone, and the screen displayed Jiang Xuanya's information.
[Jiang Xuanya: I just found out that your Aunt HyunEun still has her old performance outfit. If you come to my house, maybe I can persuade her to wear it.]
Bei Yutang's face darkened.
Chapter 55 Family
Bei Yutang had a headache and was feeling extremely tired lately. Just when work was piling up, Jiang Xuanya started plotting against her younger brother again.
But the problem doesn't end there. Chu Yinan rarely interacted with people before. He had a good relationship with his classmates, but he didn't have many close friends. He usually stayed home and didn't go out with his friends.
But now he's gone to a hotel with Jiang Xuanya to watch Ultraman. That's suspicious!
Although it was Jiang Xuanya's initiative, it would take two to tango without Chu Yinan's cooperation.
Under the guise of casual conversation, Bei Yutang subtly inquired for almost half an hour, but failed to get any information and had to go deal with her work.
"For now, let's trust Chu Yinan's words. We'll go with him next time and won't be afraid of Jiang Xuanya's schemes."
The young woman pushed the ergonomic office chair to her desk, took out her laptop, turned it on, and nimbly typed characters, discussing matters with the editor she was working with at the publishing house, occasionally jotting down her thoughts on a blank document.
After being interrogated by her sister, Chu Yinan did not go back to bed to rest. Instead, she sat upright in front of her small desk and took out the new phone that Qilin had given her.
This thing is quite multifunctional; it can also be used as a computer.
The light from the lamp holes projects a deep blue, ethereal glow onto the screen and keyboard, creating a distinctly different aesthetic from current technological designs.
Scientific yet fantastical.
However, this futuristic punk style was filled with intense light pollution. Bei Yutang, who was sitting next to him, was deep in thought when she was suddenly blinded by her little brother's brilliance.
She thought to herself: "They're incredibly skilled at using this operating system..."
Bei Yutang had used that system before. It was efficient, but the operation logic was too erratic. It was designed specifically for AI.
The screen displayed the AI encyclopedia information for the Ultraman series they watched today. Chu Yinan flipped through the cast list and then looked at the series' sister shows.
Bei Yutang judged that the little guy was looking for a sequel or something.
"Chu Nan, would you like some juice?"
Chu Yinan's answer was quite expected.
"Lemon juice."
"What about vegetable juice?"
"Lemon juice."
Bei Yutang raised her hand to her forehead. Just now she had hoped that Chu Yinan might change his food preferences, but now she only felt that she had made a stupid mistake.
So, lemons fall into both the fruit and vegetable categories in your mind?
But thinking back, Chu Yinan hasn't had lemon products for a while, so we can give him some.
Drinking lemon juice late at night can be a bit irritating and burdensome for a stomach that's trying to rest.
Bei Yutang found a fresh lemon in the kitchen refrigerator, squeezed it for him, diluted half of it, added milk to make a mixture, and then gave it to Chu Yinan to drink.
Chu Yinan took a sniff of the lemon milk and was greeted by its refreshing lemon scent. It was wonderful!
He took a expectant sip, but the smile on his face faded.
"It smells good, but tastes nothing. This is just too nasty!"
"It's not good to drink such sour drinks at night. What if you damage your stomach and vomit acid later? I know an editor who can't eat too much now, because he gets bloated and nauseous if he eats too much."
Chu Yinan knew that Yu Tang cared about him, so he didn't refute her. He just stared at the lemon milk for more than ten seconds, smelled the lemon aroma, and then gulped it down. It was quite milky.
Then the terrifying aspect of big data emerged: Chu Yinan's search bar popped up with invitations to social media events from outside the island.
[Would you like to accept the invitation to pour a glass of milk into the river for your little brother/sister?]
"What kind of underworld activity is this? The Ancestor Worship Festival is coming soon, and they've changed the way they go to the graves to sprinkle milk instead of wine? No wonder he's an idol, setting an example for the prohibition of alcohol."
The overwhelming advertisements left him feeling overwhelmed. Chu Yinan had only intended to go up and see if there were any other Ultraman advertisements available, but it seemed he should give up on that idea.
Chu Yinan wanted to find other film and television works by Aunt Lee Hyun-eun, but there were very few records, most of which were deleted by personal choice.
AI will fully respect the wishes of the individuals whose information is on the encyclopedia. As long as the content does not violate public order and good morals, it can be deleted if the individual does not wish it to be made public.
"She was a very popular character back then, and other supporting characters all have their own encyclopedia entries, so why is Aunt Hyun Eun being hidden?"
This is where the domineering nature of those with connections comes into play.
Chu Yinan harassed Valentina with messages.
[Chu Yinan: Valentina, I'd like to know how many works Lee Hyun-eun, this retired actress, has in her career.]
[Valentina: There were three main works, two of which have been removed from circulation, along with one photobook, which has also been removed. She had some cameo appearances, but those scenes have been deleted.]
Removed from shelves?!
What could possibly be inside this?!
In the past, when Chu Yinan bought skins for his virtual wife, he would only buy those that were about to be taken off the shelves.
[Chu Yinan: I want to see it!]
Valentina: You're not suitable.
You don't know anything! It's perfect!
If I weren't afraid of Qilin beating me up, I would go back to Turing Tower after graduation and become the chief appraiser!
[Chu Yinan: I'm an adult now, and I can bear the dark side of this world on my own.]
A cloud storage link was sent to his profile. Chu Yinan eagerly logged into his member account to download the video at high speed, but upon seeing the title, he immediately lost interest.
A highly-rated art film, with a subtle yuri theme, tear-jerking, and touching—but none of these labels matter. Just seeing the "all-ages" label is enough to tell you this film isn't worth watching.
