Raising You This Small Stuff

Chapter 5.1 I’ll raise you in the future

Yuan Suo’s little hand that had been wrapped into a bun gently pressed against his mouth that was open in surprise.

It couldn’t be that Mo Yi Cheng had recharged it wrongly, right? So much money could buy a lot of nutritious meals. Didn’t Mo Yi Cheng himself have to eat?

Mo Yi Cheng looked at the little guy who was almost about to fall down from surprise and the corners of his mouth were unable to help but raise again. This fifty thousand yuan spent…. wasn’t a loss.

He entered the store.

The top of the food shelf was divided into two categories, nutritious meals and free-handling raw materials. After he choose the nutritious meal, he bought 20 of them in one go, and then picked some snacks and fruits as well.

Yuan Suo was completely dumbfounded by the ‘hill’ piled up in front of him.

“Is this… all for me?”

“Is there anyone else here?”

Yuan Suo was so touched that the tip of his little nose turned red, “Thank… thank you Mo Yi Cheng, you’re so nice.”

“Alright, eat if you’re hungry, but don’t eat too much that it will make you feel uncomfortable.” Mo Yi Cheng who was continuously handed the ‘you’re nice’ card was in a great mood.

“En!” Yuan Suo nodded.

“Eat.” Mo Yi Cheng urged.

After reaffirming again, Yuan Suo grabbed a bottle of tube-shaped nutritious meal, but who knew that he was unable to open the bottle cap with his two small hands that were wrapped. He was so anxious that he started to use his teeth.

A pop-up window popped up on the screen [Does the want to player offer help? ]

Yes.

Just as Yuan Suo was at his wits’ end, the lid opened automatically and a box of cut fruit was opened as well and placed in front of him with a toothpick in it. A bag of potato chips was also opened automatically with a clatter and a sweet smell floated out, making his drool almost flow out.

Yuan Suo couldn’t care less that Mo Yi Cheng was still around. He squeezed the nutritious meal out vigorously and swallowed it, making him choke as he ate too fast.

When Mo Yi Cheng saw this, he felt a little guilty in his heart, it seems he had really starved the little thing. In the future, he would try to feed him regularly. Maybe he could buy a refrigerator to put inside the house?

He clicked into the store again and as expected, he found a variety of refrigerators in the electrical appliances section that were almost comparable in price to those in the real world. He chose a smart refrigerator with double doors that opened in opposite directions for 8000 gold coins and clicked to buy it.

Yuan Suo finally ate till he was half full, with only a little bit left inside the tube of nutritious meal and was about to get a piece of fruit when suddenly, a huge giant appeared next to him. It had appeared with a bang, scaring him so much so that he almost jumped up in shock.

The smart refrigerator with cross double doors opened automatically and it was filled with all kinds of food.

“When you get hungry in the future, take it by yourself, understand?” Mo Yi Cheng’s deep voice sounded.

Yuan Suo was stunned, not even aware that he had dropped the nutritious meal in his hand.

“Alright, eat and rest, I’ll change your dressing tomorrow.” Mo Yi Cheng was also tired. He took a look at the time, it was almost one o’clock.

“I… I understand.” Yuan Suo thanked him over and over again.

Ding Ding Ding.

Turning off the game, Mo Yi Cheng laid down and turned off the lights, but in the darkness, he couldn’t sleep even after tossing and turning.

He was obviously very tired, but the figure of the little thing in the game kept floating in his mind. The feeling was a bit like when his grandma brought Du Du home for the first time that year as a birthday gift to him.

His temperament was colder, and he seemed out of place whenever children played together, so his grandmother bought him a corgi, even worried that he wouldn’t like it. Unexpectedly, the first time he saw the watery, pure eyes of the little guy, his heart melted and although he still pretended to be cool, as soon as he went back home, he held it and refused to let go, raising it for more than ten years. After it passed away, he never raised any pets again, and after trying the taste of loss, he didn’t want to touch that wound again.

The bedside clock showed that it was three o’clock in the morning.

He made an exception and turned on the phone that had been turned off.

The screen light shone on his nearly perfect face, making the knife-like facial lines even deeper.

The lights in the room in the game had been turned off automatically. Moonlight shown in vaguely, making it so that he was barely able to see the small ball curled up on the bed.

It was just…. why wasn’t the little thing wearing any clothes? With his short hands and short feet together, he was sleeping in an insecure position that didn’t look very restful, his small eyebrows furrowed tightly.

It was only then Mo Yi Cheng realized that there was no blanket on the bed.

Yuan Suo had put the dirty clothes from the part-time job in the corner, preparing to wash them tomorrow when his hands were better, not daring to sleep in them because he was afraid of dirtying the bed.

Was this little thing really just a smart game character? Mo Yi Cheng was once again suspicious.

Opening the mall, he picked out a velvet comforter and two small uniforms that were somewhat similar to the military uniform on the little thing. It was just that they weren’t very suitable for sleeping, so he clicked on the pajama column again.

A dazzling array of pajamas in various formats ranging in price from high to low appeared. His own aesthetic was more of the simple but expensive type. He choose a set of light green silk pajamas for Yuan Suo, the price of which was 1880 gold coins. When he was about to check out, he suddenly saw a cartoon version of a one-piece pajamas with white fluff, a short tail on the butt and two long pink ears on top of the hoodie. After imagining Yuan Suo putting on this pajama and gnawing on carrots in his arms, Mo Yi Cheng smiled, then simply paid for the two together.

Gently covering Yuan Suo’s body with the blanket, he clicked the ‘tuck it into corner’. As for the ‘pat to lull him to sleep’, he chose to automatically ignore it.

“Hmm…” Feeling the warmth, Yuan Suo’s small eyebrows stretched slightly, his back arching a few times, about to open his eyes.

Mo Yi Cheng descended into a mess for no reason, subconsciously clicking on ‘pat to lull him to sleep’.

In a trance, Yuan Suo felt a warm hand patting him gently, so happy…. was it his mother the queen who had come back? If it was another dream again, he didn’t want to wake up. He quickly closes his eyes tightly, fearing that he would wake up in the next second.

Mo Yi Cheng saw that Yuan Suo had fallen asleep again, his round little face very peaceful, without the uneasiness he had had just now.

Chapter 5.2 I’ll raise you in the future

The next day, for the first time, Mo Yi Cheng didn’t get up early.

Chen Jiao waited outside the door for a while, then took the breakfast he had prepared back, thinking to wait for him to get up before bringing a hot one over.

An hour later, Mo Yi Cheng was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.

He took a look at the cell phone, it was Mother Mo calling.

Mother Mo was probably used to her son who had an extremely regular routine getting up early, so she was surprised to hear Mo Yi Cheng’s somewhat lazy and hoarse voice that showed that he hadn’t gotten up yet. She lowered the volume of her voice, but she couldn’t hide the trace of excitement in it, “Yi Cheng, do you have girlfriend?”

Mo Yi Cheng was stunned, then covered his eyes helplessly with his hands, “Mom, I don’t.”

Mother Mo: “…. Then why haven’t you gotten up yet?”

Mo Yi Cheng: “….”

Mother Mo was unreconciled: “You really don’t have one?”

Mo Yi Cheng said: “…. I don’t.”

Mother Mo was a little lost and couldn’t help but nag: “Ai, I want a grandson to accompany me this old lady. Now our family can’t depend on your elder brother. He likes men, mom has accepted that. In two years time, you’ll be thirty years old, thirty, you should get married and have children.”

It was only at this time that Mother Mo, who never acknowledged her old age, called herself an ‘old lady’.

“Alright.” Mo Yi Cheng agreed perfunctorily.

As soon as Mother Mo heard Mo Yi Cheng’s soft attitude, she hurriedly grasped the opportunity to add, “It just so happens that your Uncle Lin’s Xiao Yue returned home from studying in the United States a few days ago. I’m going to invite her to the house for dinner, come back to help me take care of the guest.”

“Ai, I haven’t seen my third child who is abroad for a year, your elder brother likes a little actor and has ruined this old lady’s dream of having a grandchild, and now you…”

Before Mother Mo could finish, Mo Yi Cheng interrupted her quickly, “Give me the time, I’ll try my best to come back.”

Mother Mo who was on the phone wiped away her nonexistent tears, “How about tomorrow night then?”

“Alright, I’ll ask Chen Jiao. If there’s space within my work schedule, I’ll come home.”

“If there’s no time in your schedule, mom can invite her to dinner at another time.”

“…. Okay.” Hanging up, Mo Yi Cheng rubbed his eyes and sighed helplessly. Sometimes, a movie emperor could only be helpless when facing his drama queen mother.

Yuan Suo, who had also gotten up late on the other side was startled by the sudden addition of the extra blanket and the small wardrobe. He rubbed his eyes with his small fists that were wrapped in gauze. Was this… was this given to him by Mo Yi Cheng?

He lifted up the white fluffy clothes that had been folded and placed on the bedside table curiously.

Hmm… How come he hadn’t seen this shirt before? There were ears and a tail. Was it the casual clothes of the people in this place?

He studied it for a while, before figuring out how to fit himself into the one-piece bunny ears dress and buttoned it up, sweat beading on his busy forehead. The clothes were so soft and much more comfortable than the military uniform that he usually wore, but they got dirty easily, so he thought to himself, he must never wear this in the future when he went out to move bricks.

Huh? What was that over there… it turned out to be a small tag on the cuffs. Looking at the price of the clothes on the tag, Yuan Suo was shocked. Why…. why was it so expensive… Just this a piece of clothing costs 2200 gold coins. How many bricks would he have to move?!

Yuan Suo already associated the first job of his life to Mo Yi Cheng. Thinking of how after earning only 40 gold coins, his hands were bruised, how he now suffered from a sore back and how he teared up whenever he lifted his arms too hard, he knew it must have been very hard for Mo Yi Cheng to earn this kind of money…. Thinking of this, he felt that Mo Yi Cheng was a good person, the best player in the world.

When Mo Yi Cheng clicked into the game, he saw Yuan Suo in a one-piece bunny pajamas, sitting on the blanket with his little butt and when he saw that he had come, his face immediately blossomed into a big smile even before he stood up straight somewhat shyly.

“Mo Yi Cheng, good morning.” Too cute to the point of bursting.

Mo Yi Cheng was stunned, but his calm face that had been honed by his many years of acting was dangerously taut.

“Ahem… Good morning. Have you had breakfast yet?”

Yuan Suo was a little embarrassed, “I… I got up late today, so I haven’t had time to eat yet.”

“Then eat first, leave the blanket for later.”

“Oh.” Yuan Suo got out of bed obediently, then suddenly thought of something: “Mo Yi Cheng thank you for giving me a lot of things. But they are all so expensive, it must… it must have caused you a great burden, I can work….”

Mo Yi Cheng frowned, interrupting him before he could finish his sentence, “Don’t go to work anymore.”

Eh, why? Yuan Suo was taken aback, thinking that he had done something bad or that his sentence had upset Mo Yi Cheng. “I’m… I’m sorry.”

When Mo Yi Cheng saw how scared and aggrieved the little guy was, he knew that his tone had been heavy, but he was indignant in his heart when he thought of his pitiful appearance yesterday.

“No need to apologize, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

Yuan Suo asked tentatively: “Then can I go to work in the future?”

Mo Yi Cheng: “No.”

Yuan Suo’s eyebrows drooped in disappointment.

Mo Yi Cheng added: “I’ll raise you in the future.”
