Chapter 31: CH 16.2

The Villainess is Three and a Half Years Old Chapter 16.2

unedited

The house is very small, at most thirty cubic meters. The bedroom and the living room are one, and the electric bike seemed like it took up half of the area.

Shen Ran was still sleeping on the bed as they entered. After hearing the door, he drowsily got down from the upper bunk and walked nakedly right in front of the three people, right into the bathroom.

Ye Ya stared at him the entire time.

Shen Ran came out of the bathroom, still drowsy, “Brother, I’m hungry.”

Ye Ya was still staring.

Shen Ran wrinkled his face, finally realizing that something’s not right. He turned his neck and looked right into Ye Ya’s big, beautiful eyes.

Time seemed to have frozen.

Good morning, brother Shen Ran.” Ye Ya greeted, and then looked down for a bit, “Good morning, little bird.”

Boom—!

Shen Ran’s face turned red. He zoomed away onto his bed into his blankets, and changed into his clothes at the fastest speed possible.

“Yaya!” Ye Qinghe hurriedly covered her mouth, his ears turning red from embarrassment. He stuttered, “You can’t say things like that.”

Ye Ya blinked and blinked, looking completely confused.

Just then, the system’s voice appeared.

[Ya’er you’re amazing! Good job teasing the future male lead. Here are ten droplets of dew as rewards, they’ll help Ya’er sprout faster.]

The system gave the reward without a second thought. The green sprout on her head observably grew taller.

Though Ye Ya didn’t understand what it said, she still greeted it sweetly: [Good morning, mister.]

The system: [Why is Ya’er up so early?]

Ye Ya said: [I saw Father yesterday, but he wasn’t happy. I guess it was because Mother wasn’t here.]

If Mother were not here, Father would be fierce.

The system was silent for a second: [Ya’re that wasn’t your four-leaf clover father.]

It was just a coincidence that they look similar, just like the coincidence that Ye Ya had the same name as the host. Just a small coincidence, it couldn’t explain anything.

Ye Ya was stubborn: [He was Yaya’s father.]

Father looked exactly like this. He definitely came over with her, definitely.

The system sighed, thinking that its little host is quite pitiful, so it didn’t bring itself to break her fantasies.

Shen Zhou went to the kitchen to cook, Ye Ya continued to talk with the system: [Mister, where did you go yesterday?]

System: [I went to another system world for another part-time job, so I might not be able to be with Yaya all the time anymore.]

Taking care of a kid is expensive; just a while ago the online lesson system needed upgrading, and the education prices rose with it. If it wanted Ye Ya to grow up and be of use faster, these expenses were necessary, so it had to go earn some money when Ye Ya was asleep. One to pay for the online classes, another to upgrade its ancient programs.

Ye Ya nodded somewhat understandingly and said: [It’s fine, Yaya has grown. I don’t need Mister to always be with me.]

The system was tired after two days of work, after a few minutes of reassurance, it fell into sleep mode.

Meanwhile Shen Zhou had already finished cooking the noodles, and Shen Ran set up the square table. He put a bowl of noodles in front of Ye Ya, “For Yaya.” His face was still hot red.

“Here.” Shen Zhou gave the big bowl to Ye Qinghe.

“Thanks,” Eating at someone else’s house for the first time, Ye Qinghe felt a bit awkward.

Ye Ya held her little spoon and slurped the noodles. There was a very pretty sunny-side-up in her bowl, and one each in Shen Ran and Ye Qinghe’s as well. Ye Ya then looked over at Shen Zhou, but there was only noodles and green onion in his bowl.

Ye Ya gave it some thought, then carried her bowl and walked over.

“Yaya?”

“For brother Shen Zhou.” Ye Ya clumsily pushed the egg into his bowl.

Shen Zhou was dazed, and hurriedly gave it back to her, “No need, it’s for Yaya.”

Ye Ya puffed her cheeks, then splitted her egg in half, giving Shen Zhou the bigger half, and lecturing him, “brother Shen Zhou is a big boy, so you take the bigger half; Yaya is a child, so I take the smaller half.” Then she took her bowl and went back to her own seat.

Shen Zhou stared at the egg in his bowl, suddenly feeling warm and fuzzy.

Yaya was obviously the cutest.

He couldn’t help but to turn around and look at his silly brother slurping the noodles, sighed, and shook his head.

Little brothers are all silly.

After the meal, Ye Qinghe voluntarily took on the task of dish washing. After watching him scatter a bowl, Shen Zhou instantly took over to prevent further damage.

Ye Qinghe stood on the side, suddenly finding Shen Zhou extremely amazing.

Looking at Shen Zhou concentrating on washing the dishes, Ye Qinghe’s gaze was filled with admiration, “If only I were as good at working as Shen Zhou.”

Shen Zhou, “…”

Ye Qinghe then said, “This way I’ll be able to take care of Yaya.”

Shen Zhou, “…?”

Ye Qinghe looked at him, “Shen Zhou, can I stay at your place for some time? Can you teach me how to take care of a child?”

“…???”

“Huh?”

Shen Zhou was deeply confused.

Why was he giving away his life as a young master and suddenly wanted to be an orphan like him?

It couldn’t be that all the rich kids are this weird?

Ye Qinghe’s eyes were gleaming. He glared at Shen Ran and Ye Ya playing on the side and told him the truth, “Yaya is a clone. My father wants to send her to the lab to destroy. Destruction.” He sounded so sad, “My father wants to kill Ye Ya.”

Shen Zhou was stunned, his expression filled with shock.

After a while, he murmured, “Your father is inhuman.”

Ye Qinghe nodded in agreement, “Yeah, he is very inhuman.”

Ye Ya heard their conversation and turned her head away from their game, copying, “Father is not human.” The little girl sounded sweet and babyish, “Father is a little sprout~”
