Raising You This Small Stuff

Chapter 28.1 The angry Mo Yi Cheng!

“Mo Mo Mo…” Yuan Suo’s eyes widened as he stammered, like a cassette player.

Dang clang—-

Yuan Suo’s two hands grasped the corners of his clothes, knocking off the little gray mouse on the table because he was too nervous. The water in the rabbit cup was also knocked over, the water snaking down the table…

The barrage in the live broadcast room was refreshed once again:

“Was the little cutie making kissing sounds just now?

“Kiss, kiss little cutie, mua mua~”

“Mua mua mua! (*╯3╰)”

“Am I hearing things, why do I seem to hear Mo Yi Cheng’s voice?”

“Same here!”

“Ahhhhh what’s going on?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, it’s just a coincidence!”

Hiss—

[Woof Star Visitor] has gone offline.

There were shouts of regret in the comments section below, followed by speculation about where the cute little cutie was from.

“He sounds like a high school student?”

“Soft and sticky doesn’t mean he is young! It feels like he is a soft and cute senior!”

 “Please show your face!”

“Ahhhhh that’s Long Bow’s account! It seems as if I know an unspeakable secret!!!”

“But I clearly heard Master Mo voice!”

The host, amidst the flurry of off-topic comments from the netizens, calmly tried to bring the topic back and continue with the next segment. But the end of this broadcast, was destined to go further and further down the road of no return…

    ——

Inside the game.

Yuan Suo carefully shut down the laptop and under Mo Yi Cheng’s low-pressure gaze, took the rag, squatted on the floor and wiped the water that had spilled out of the cup, running back and forth three times with his short legs, before finally cleaning up that little bit of water.

Mo Yi Cheng stared at the screen in a relaxed manner, not exposing the fact that the ground was about to be rubbed through. Since the little thing was just trying to stall for time, he would see how long he can stall. Today’s matter, must definitely be explained.

Yuan Suo also knew that he couldn’t avoid it. After the third time of ‘wiping the ground dry’, he sent the rag back, stood beside the computer desk properly with his head lowered dejectedly, the expression on his face showing that he knew he was wrong.

Mo Yi Cheng took a deep breath, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, and breathed more smoothly.

“Speak.”

“Woo…” Say what? It wasn’t that he didn’t want to answer, but that he didn’t know where to start.

“Didn’t you say you were going to watch a movie tonight? How come you run to the live broadcast platform, and those… acting cute words, who taught you?” Mo Yi Cheng tone didn’t carry any blame, but it was just a few points heavier than usual. This little thing didn’t say anything but unexpectedly caused such a huge commotion.

Whilst Yuan Suo had been busy wiping the floor, he had taken a look at Weibo. The latest trending topic was –#adorable little cutie I want to eat him up#. Of course… some were a little unpleasant –#Long Bow’s little cutie# and then there were the better one’s –#Mo Yi Cheng’s little cutie# at the top…

Yuan Suo hesitated, then opened his mouth, answering Mo Yi Cheng’s question seriously one by one: “That….. I watched the movie, Du Du fast forwarded it.”

Mo Yi Cheng: “….”

Yuan Suo continued, “I… I ran to the live broadcast platform because I found a part-time job that allows people to sit at home and earn money. The boss said you can earn 100 yuan an hour as long as you can type well.” In Yuan Suo’s mind, 100 yuan was equal to 10,000 gold coins inside the game! Hence 100 was a very large amount to him.

Mo Yi Cheng: “….” Is that why he kept typing every day?

“Those… those words, I found them in the emoticon pack myself. They say that they are the most powerful words for spraying people…..” As Yuan Suo said this, his voice became smaller and smaller.

Mo Yi Cheng was completely stunned, overwhelmed by the plot. As a movie emperor he had acted so many scripts, but this… this the was most unexpected.

“Part-time job?”

Yuan Suo stammered for a while. He wanted to explain but didn’t know how to go about it, so he simply went to take his tablet. After opening it, he showed Mo Yi Cheng the only two comments below the Weibo, one of which read: Recruiting typists: Settlement on the same day, 100 yuan per hour, suitable for students or people with babies at home…

Mo Yi Cheng closed his eyes and asked Yuan Suo to turn the tablet off.

Yuan Suo turned it off obediently, and peeked at Mo Yi Cheng out of the corners of his eyes.

“… Mo Yi Cheng?” Seeing that Mo Yi Cheng hadn’t spoken for a long time, he called his name somewhat timidly. Knowing that he had made a mistake this time and probably also caused trouble, he called out again ingratiatingly, “Mo Yi Cheng. I’m sorry, I… I was wrong… I’m not a good little cookie.”

Mo Yi Cheng: “….”

Forget… forget it. The little thing had nothing more than an extreme lack of social common sense, getting a part-time job was also a sign that he was a go-getter. The movie emperor carried out a highly efficient but quick self-persuasion in his heart, the expression on his face finally becoming better.

However, this little thing had actually lied today! Previously when he had asked him, he spoke about watching a movie and then drawing. The result, he had gone online to “spray” people and to a live broadcast with hundreds of thousands of people. This little thing was really too bold. There was one in a million chance that his identity had been exposed and he feared the hidden trouble it had left behind. Now he called people around to collect and investigate the relevant information for Yuan Suo’s sake, so it didn’t exclude the fact that other players were also doing the same thing.

“From today onwards, your time on online is going to be restricted, and if you’re going to have contact with people outside of school it has to be reported in advance, and you’re not allowed to think about making money anymore.” Mo Yi Cheng said, deliberately aggravating the tone of his voice somewhat.

Chapter 28.2 The angry Mo Yi Cheng!

After Yuan Suo heard this, he lowered his head with regret then raised it again and asked tentatively: “Then….. then can I collect the salary that I earned this time? The boss said that money can be transferred online.” After he received his salary, he could buy a gift for Mo Yi Cheng.

Mo Yi Cheng answered simply: “No.”

“Oh…” When Yuan Suo thought of the fact that he wouldn’t be able to receive the salary he had worked hard for during the past few days, his nose became sore. What was more uncomfortable was that he had already thought of a gift and was going to ask Long Bow to buy it in the real world and bring it to him then give it to Mo Yi Cheng as a birthday present. “But, I want to buy something with it.” Yuan Suo made a last attempt to change Mo Yi Cheng’s mind.

“You can tell me what you buy. No matter what it is, I will buy it for you, but the outside world is very complicated. The way you look makes me very worried. If something like this happens again in the future, I will be really angry.” Mo Yi Cheng was a little anxious when he saw that the little thing hadn’t given up, he was afraid, very afraid that the little thing would go behind his back and do those so-called part-time jobs in the future. He wasn’t afraid that he would get into trouble, but that the risk of being cheated and encountering danger wasn’t worth the loss.

This was the first time Yuan Suo had been reprimanded by Mo Yi Cheng like this. He was so frightened that he didn’t dare move. After a few tries, his voice was weak as he mumbled, “I’m sorry.”

“Alright, go and clean up and get ready to rest.” Mo Yi Cheng was prepared to teach the little guy a lesson today, so he didn’t say any words to comfort him the same way he usually did afterwards.

Yuan Suo tidied up his small table, chair, and the things above his computer table quickly and then went to take a shower.

Mo Yi Cheng got into the car and told Chen Jiao to drive straight home.

At the same time, he searched what had happened tonight, and sure enough, tonight’s [Woof Star Visitor’s] spraying incident by Yuan Suo had reached a fever pitch online.

The speculation about Yuan Suo’s identity was divided into two camps: the “soft and cute little angel” and the “soft and glutinous senior”. The audio of Yuan Suo’s ‘spraying’ was downloaded and forwarded wildly on the internet, with many people exclaiming that it was cute and even setting it as their phone’s ringtone. There were also some people who held on to the “Du Du” that was very similar to Mo Yi Cheng’s voice, but they had to give up because they didn’t have any concrete evidence.

As for the person involved, the anchor Long Bow, he insisted that his account had been stolen and that the whole thing had nothing to do with him!

Mo Yi Cheng’s fingers paused.

Long Bow? The account Yuan Suo had used belonged to this person?

Yuan Suo took a shower and came out with his hair wet. His whole body was melancholic. His eyes and nose were red, and probably because he was afraid that Mo Yi Cheng would see, he whispered a goodnight and then got into the quilt obediently.

Mo Yi Cheng sighed and asked him to get up.

Yuan Suo sat on the edge of the bed with his back to Mo Yi Cheng obediently. Mo Yi Cheng shook his head helplessly, clicked on the blow dry hair, and the hair dryer started. Soon, Yuan Suo’s soft hair was dry.

Mo Yi Cheng thought for a while then asked, “The login account you used today, it belongs to Long Bow?”

“En, yes.” Yuan Suo kept his head down, his eyes red as he answered the questions honestly.

“Long Bow is the elf you spoke about before, the one you said you rode the school bus together with?”

“Hmm, it’s him.”

If the Long Bow in the game that Yuan Suo spoke about was really the anchor, then as long as he followed the connection line from Long Bow’s side, he would be able to find other ‘players’, and perhaps learn more information about the game.

As time went by, Mo Yi Cheng became more and more insecure about the game. The little thing in the phone was real, the game was real, but everything was so out of his control. In the event of any accident, even if he had a lot of money, he would be rendered helpless, so he could only try to obtain information in various ways through various means. Before this, Kan Ming had already received first-hand news from the UK that there was a likelihood that a ‘player’ existed, but many clues had been cut off due to various reasons. The current Long Bow… was a good breakthrough.

Mo Yi Cheng found a screenshot of Long Bow’s live broadcast image online and asked Yuan Suo for confirmation.

Yuan Suo looked at it closely, “En, it’s Long Bow.”

Mo Yi Cheng contacted Kan Ming hurriedly, then asked Chen Sheng to find out what had happened later in the day, then he said to Yuan Suo, “The milk is by the bedside, drink a little, then rinse your mouth before going to bed.”

Yuan Suo responded happily, then with his two legs dangling on the side of the bed, gulped down the milk, a small milk ring forming around the circle of his mouth.

Mo Yi Cheng quit the game, called Kan Ming, and asked him to immediately investigate the game anchor Long Bow on ZZ live platform, including all his information, stating that he wanted to get his hands on it in the shortest possible time.

Yuan Suo finished the milk, took the cup to the kitchen and washed it, rinsed his mouth again, then went back to bed and got under the covers. The bed was soft and warm, but he still felt a bit sad in his heart, as if it was being pinched by someone, it was stifling.

He persuaded himself in the same way he had just done in the bathroom. Mo Yi Cheng was doing it for his own good, and he had lied first, so he should be criticized!

Although he hadn’t been able to earn the money to buy a gift, he could give another. If it wasn’t possible then he could make a do-it-yourself! Thinking this way, he felt a lot better in his heart, and hugging the warm quilt, slowly fell asleep…..
