Supporting Role’s Aura

Arc 1.3: The first one to provoke is cheap

—

Instead of saying Du Hao was taken away by the soldiers, better said he was invited to leave. After all, his rank was a captain, whether it was Du’s family or Du Hao’s grandfather on both his father and mother’s side, he has a great background in the army. Both Du Hao’s grandfather were all general rank figures, so Du Hao was invited to the investigation office, not the interrogation department.

After Du Hao was taken to the investigation office, he still had to go through the process. First of all, he had to explain who he was meeting with, and the reason why the two met. What stuff did they give? Of course, it was impossible for Du Hao to say Ye Chen’s name. Ye Chen had said to Du Hao before he hurried away that he would asked Ye You for help, so Du Hao said that Ye You asked him to meet, and then gave him something.

After Ye Chen returned to the dormitory, he immediately went to find Ye You and quietly told him that Du Hao had a very important things to ask him for help, so he must help him and Du Hao would be very grateful to him. Ye You still had not figured out what was going on, but was taken away by the soldiers for questioning.

In the process of being questioned, Ye You admitted that he had met Du Hao. When asked whether they were in a relationship, Du Hao firmly denied that he did not like Ye You. Ye You was pursuing him, but he has already refused. Although Ye You was sad after hearing it, he thought about the things he already said. Since Du Hao recognized what he had said later, he could only bear it, thinking it was alright as long as Du Hao can remember his goodness. Then, because they had a good attitude to admit their mistakes, they were only given a verbal warning and released.

There were many people who have a crush on Du Hao in the Cultural Regiment1文工团 (wen gong tuan); sometimes google translated this as cultural regiment and sometime cultural troupe. I might be switch these words in the future for my bad memories *sweat*. No matter his own conditions or his family background, these were great attractions. So, when the incident spreaded, Ye You was not only deliberately mocked by some other Cultural Regiment members, but also some words were arrange in such a way, which became more and more unpleasant to listen.

These words has reached Elder Ye’s ears, so Elder Ye was furious as soon as he got home, and he yelled at Ye You who had just transmigrated.

According to the plot that Ye You read, there should be no such process in the book, and according to his observations, Ye Chen’s parents seemed to have known the love story between Ye Chen and Du Hao, not only supporting him but also helping him concealed. These were not in line with the original plot. In the original plot, Ye Chen’s parents, although they did not object to the love between the two, they did not know about it until the relationship between the two was broken through.

How Ye Chen’s parents know in advance that Ye Chen was in love with Du Hao, there was only one possibility, that was, Ye Chen took the initiative to tell them and asked them to help cover and concealed for him.

But why was the current development different from the plot in the book? There were several answers in Ye You’s mind, but it needs time to verify which one was correct.

“We’re here, go in. Dad and mom are waiting for you.” Ye Song’s voice interrupted Ye You ’s contemplation. Ye You opened the door and got off the car. He looked at the tall and gorgeous three-story building in front of him. People who live here were good to the original owner.

In this era of the world, even if there was money, the identity of a businessman will still be looked down upon by some people. Therefore, the original owner would rather live in the military area and got bully, in order to improve his identity.

Ye Jiande and Xu Yun knew that Ye You was coming back, and let the kitchen prepare Ye You’s favorite food early in the morning. Ye Jiande didn’t even deal with business matters, so he can wait for him at home.

“Dad.” Ye You called as he looked at the figure walking back and forth in the hall.

“You’re back.” Ye Jiande immediately turned to face Ye You, looking at him and asking “Have you eaten breakfast?”

“Not yet.” Ye You just wanted to asked ‘where’s mother?‘ when he saw Xu Yun, who was walking out quickly from the kitchen, he then called out “Mom.”

“Are you hungry? Mom asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of your favorite food for you. Eat more in a while. Look at you, lose a lot of weight again.” Xu Yun took Ye You’s hand and took him to the dining room.

Several servants were coming out of the kitchen one after another, and they put a table full of food. For this foods, whole family may have to eat them for three to four days. This was not usually the case, just because Ye You come back today, Xu Yun does not know how long he was going to stay at home, so, as long as the food he loves to eat, she asked the servants2Original text 厨房 (chu fang)  which is lit. means kitchen but it sound weird if we put it like that. That’s why I change it to servants, or do you want me to stick to the original next time? I really appreciate it if you let me know about your thoughts do it.

“Here, eat more, all the food is the one you like to eat.” Xu Yun said as he kept putting the foods in a small dish and placed it in front of Ye You.

“I can’t eat so much …” Ye You looked at the foods in front of him and felt that if he ate all of it, he definitely would be unable to walk.

“You just taste one bite, you don’t have to eat it all.” Xu Yun looked at Ye You’s face seriously and said, “Your face is thinner than when you came back last time. New army recruits must be hard to train ba?”

“Training is okay, mainly because there is more practice time. We haven’t trained as many as the medical soldiers ne.” Ye You said while choosing which one to eat first.

Ye Jiande and Ye Song father and son also sat down. Actually both of them had something to do in the morning, but because Ye You was coming back today, they pushed it to the afternoon.

“Tell me what you want to eat. Mom asks the servants to make it for you.” Xu Yun kept holding chopsticks and didn’t eat, she just watched Ye You eat.

“The roe deer meat you sent me last time, I didn’t eat it at all.” Ye You said.

“I let people send such a large piece of meat there, they didn’t even give you a bit at all?” Xu Yun looked at Ye You and asked.

“They took most of it and gave it away, and they ate the rest. When I returned from the Cultural Regiment, there was no even meat scrap left.”

“… Why don’t they behave with integrity, let just treat that meat as favor3 他们倒是会做人，拿我们的肉做人情就算了; actually I’m not really understand this. I’m more or less followed what google help me translate also look from other web… ORZ If any of you have suggestions regarding this, please share with me?, they don’t even give you a bite to eat.” Xu Yun suppressed his anger at those family and said to Ye You, “Go ahead and eat, whatever you want just make a call at home, Mom will asked the servants prepare it for you and sent it directly to the Cultural Regiment.”

Ye You nodded.

“How many days are you going to stay at home this time?” Xu Yun asked.

“As long as I’m on vacation, I will live at home. I won’t go to that home again in the future. After receive so many unfairness there, I finally understand that nowhere is better than home.” Ye You said.

Xu Yun and Xu Jiande froze for a moment, and the two looked at each other. Xu Yun suppressed the excitement and confirmed with Ye You, “Really decided not to live there anymore? Will you come home to live in the future?”

After being silent for a while, Ye You said, “Ye Chen and Du Hao are secretly dating. They quietly met at night and was found out by the patrolling soldiers. Then Ye Chen asked me to admit that I’m the one who was meeting Du Hao. Maybe that night my brain wasn’t normal, so I promised him. Going back home on vacation, grandpa scolded me for half an hour, and punished me by not allowed me to eat for two days. Ye Chen didn’t have the intention to tell the truth at all. Uncle and auntie just watching and make a cynical remarks. When I was leaving today, I told them the truth. But grandpa only believed in Ye Chen and did not believe in me. So, I figured it out and I don’t want to have any contact with them anymore in the future.”

Ye You felt that since these were all facts, there was no need to hide from them and tell them all honestly, so that they will know his determination to stop interacting with those people.

“It’s great that you can figure it out. You will live at home in the future and you don’t have to suffer from those idle people.” Although Xu Yun and Ye Jiande felt distressed about Ye You being bully, but they were very relieved he had finally figured it out.

Although Ye Jiande and Ye Jianxian are both the sons of Elder Ye, but Master Ye was partial to Ye Jianxian to a certain extent, and because Ye Jiande does not follow Elder Ye’s arrangement and insisted on doing business, the relationship between father and son was very rigid and cold.

Ye Jiande and Ye Jianxian were not born from the same mother. After all, the Qiyun dynasty’s destruction was only twenty or thirty years. The feudal dynasty had allowed three wives and four concubines. There were still two, three, or four old ladies in some old military officers’ houses. Later, with the Marriage Law established, only monogamy was recognized in the law, and the existence of two-bedroom and three-bedroom was no longer allowed. Children born out of wedlock were not given household registration. This situation was gradually reduced, but some of them could not help but still kept few outside.

Elder Ye also left his original wife in his hometown and married another wife outside. Ye Jiande was born from the original wife. From childhood to adult, he rarely see Elder Ye. Naturally, there was only indifferent he felt towards Elder Ye, and he even had resentment against him in his heart. So after he grew up, when Elder Ye wanted to take control of his life, not only did he not obey, but he also worked against him specifically, so they were more like enemies rather than father and son.

Ye Jianxian was born to Elder Ye’s second wife who he married outside, and was also brought up by personally by Elder Ye himself. Father and son’s feelings were naturally good.

Before the death of the two old ladies, the two houses were separated completely. Ye Jiande originally wanted to completely cut off contact with Elder Ye and the people in the second house. But after Ye You saw Du Hao by accident, he fell in love with Du Hao at first sight. In order to get closer to Du Hao, he had to live with Elder Ye and insisted on entering the Cultural Regiment, so that he can match Du Hao in every aspect. No matter what the Ye Jiande couples advised, he would not listen.

However, Ye You lived with Master Ye, but he did not live there for free. Ye Jiande couple not only give Ye You a lot of living expenses, but also often sent things over. They had expected that all of those things couldn’t be used by Ye You, but Ye You often can’t even get anything at all. Like that, Elder Ye and the people in the second house only agreed to let Ye You stay on account of the large amount of living expenses and the things that Ye Jiande and his wife often sent.

Now when they heard Ye You said that he would never go back to Elder Ye’s house and live with them again, and that he had  completely cut off contact with those people, Ye Jiande and his wife were really relieved and happy.

Ye You, who has transmigrated over, will naturally not follow the plot. He has no good feeling and interest in Du Hao at all. He felt that even if one day he meets someone he likes, he will never fall in love only to lose his dignity.

Although there were still a lot of doubts in his heart that can’t be solved, these can be found slowly. The only thing he was firm and certain about was, that he will live the way he wants. Regardless of whether Ye Chen and Du Hao were the protagonists of this world, he will no longer blend in with their affairs. They better don’t come to provoke him. Otherwise, don’t blame him for counter attacking and be merciless. After all, the first one to provoke is cheap4Raw text 先撩者贱 (Xian liao zhe jian); google gave me first timer which is what I almost put on the chapter’s title (it really is this chapter’s title).  But if you look for it word by word, the meaning is far from the first timer *Sweat*.
