Ch51 - Fuck u money

Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts was the pinnacle that all art exam candidates yearned for. It not only ranked first among the eight major art academies in China, but also enjoyed an international reputation.

Qiu Xian’s teacher, surnamed Lin, was 75 years old this year. When he was young, he was sent abroad at the government’s expense. He studied single-mindedly for ten years in America. After completing his studies, he returned to China to teach. He was now the honorary dean of the Huaguo Academy of Fine Arts. His esteemed name was “Lin Taoli”. No matter who met him, they addressed him deferentially as ‘Teacher Lin.’

Qiu Xian said: “Teacher Lin has long stopped giving lectures to undergraduates. I was the last graduate student he mentored. Now he has only two Ph.Ds. under him. Yiheng, I believe you must know that Teacher Lin writing a recommendation for you is a great honor.”

Xiao Yiheng was really talented in painting. Qiu Xian cherished his talent, and was unwilling to let his talent go to waste. But Qiu Xian also knew that Xiao Yiheng’s performance in academics had always ranked first in his grade, and he had won countless trophies in subject competitions. No matter which university he applied for, he could get a full scholarship. 

Let a child who was among the best academically, abandon the “bright road” in the eyes of ordinary people, and choose a thorny road of art… If others knew, they would definitely think she was crazy.

“In fact, the point of this matter is not just ‘talent’, but whether you like painting or not. Talent is important, but your heart is more important. If you prefer physics and mathematics more than painting, then certainly I will support you to go to Huaqing university. But if you think painting is more important, then I sincerely hope that you can become my junior brother.” Qiu Xian looked at Xiao Yiheng who was silent and said this from the bottom of her heart.

“…Thank you teacher.” Xiao Yiheng nodded, the expression on his face solemn and serious, “I will consider this matter carefully.”

“It’s ok, you can think about it as long as you want,” Qiu Xian folded the letter of recommendation and put it back in the envelope, “This winter vacation, Huaguo will also hold a winter camp. As long as this letter of recommendation is there, the winter camp will reserve a place for you. Even if you have not signed up, just take this letter of recommendation when you report. You can join the camp with other students.”

…

In the living room, Xu Jun held the baby in her arms and patted the baby awkwardly on the back, but she couldn’t get the baby to burp smoothly.

As an alpha, she had enough stamina to stay up late for work. She could stay up late for two or three days in a row while catching up with architectural drawings and still be in good spirits; but as a novice mother she was overwhelmed by a little guy weighing a few pounds. When the child cried in the middle of the night, she would get up to feed him and change his diaper.

Xu Jun fumbled around for a long time, and finally couldn’t help asking for help from the other person in the room. 

“Student Li Cheng, can you look after the child?”

Li Cheng was sitting on the sofa idly playing with his mobile phone. Hearing this, his hand shook and looked at Xu Jun in shock.

He pointed to his blond hair and asked inconceivably: “Look at my appearance. I scare the kids when I go out as if I have ‘Brat Killer’ pasted on my forehead. Why do you think I can take care of a child??”

“…Uh, because you are an omega?” 

“…Aren’t you a woman?”

The omega boy and the alpha woman looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Li Cheng put away the phone, walked through the pillows and dolls all over the floor, and walked to the cradle, wanting to see where he could help. Xu Jun was sitting on the small sofa next to the cradle. She held the child in her arms and patted him on the back.

When Youyou was born, Li Cheng was only eight years old. His parents were alive at that time, so naturally they would not let an eight-year-old take care of a child. Therefore, in the eyes of the eight-year-old Li Cheng, Youyou was a cute little doll. His parents were responsible for feeding her. He only needed to play with his sister. 

But now Li Cheng was seventeen years old and was about to reach adulthood. In his eyes at this age, the chubby month-old baby was like a time bomb, fragile and terrifying.

Li Cheng couldn’t help asking: “Aren’t there many baby care centers now? I read the news that said that the babies born in artificial wombs are raised at the baby care centers until they are three months old and then taken home. Why don’t you send him to the baby care center? It’s so worry free!”

Xu Jun shook her head while patting the baby on the back: “The baby is born naturally, and the nursery center will not accept him. And even if they do, Qiu Xian is reluctant to send him there. The golden house and the silver house are not as good as the hut built personally by her. Every single plush toy for the baby in this house was picked by her, and every blanket was knitted by her.”

As she said this, Xu Jun pointed to the baby’s swaddling: “Look at the corner of this cloth. Does the color look very old? This is one of my shirts. Qiu Xian took off a corner and sewed it on the swaddling cloth, because she said it would carry my smell. In fact, undifferentiated children can’t smell pheromones at all, but Qiu Xian can smell it. Nesting is not only for the children, but also for the omega herself.” 

Li Cheng understood that the nesting behavior was not common to every omega. At least, it hadn’t appeared in him till now. According to the book, after the marking occurred, the omega would yearn for the alpha’s pheromone, and would even actively collect things used by the alpha to build a nest.

It was really baffling. He had also been marked (cough), and he didn’t think Xiao Yiheng’s pheromone had any special attraction.

Just as Li Cheng’s thoughts went wandering, Xu Jun, who was next to him, finally put the baby to sleep. She gently put the baby back into the cradle.

Li Cheng suspected that he must have been killed by curiosity in his previous life. He particularly wanted to know what they were talking about, but he was unwilling to ask Xiao Yiheng directly because it would appear that he cared about him.

It was noon in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Xian had the two boys stay for lunch. Xu Jun and her were cooking the meal together. They were swift and made five dishes and one soup in forty minutes. Although they were all simple dishes, Li Cheng was particularly enthusiastic. He ate without raising his head, praised them as delicious again and again, and ate three bowls of rice alone. 

Xiao Yiheng couldn’t help reminding him: “Are you not afraid to eat away your abdominal muscles?”

“It’s fine. I will go back and swim three kilometers, and my abdominal muscles will come back.” Li Cheng who ate enough, finally put down his chopsticks and started drinking the soup saying, “If I were on the scale now, I would be two kilograms heavier than in the morning!”

Qiu Xian smiled and said, “You are exaggerating too much. Both of us are ordinary cooks. This is just ordinary everyday food.”

“The food is delicious because it’s home cooked!” Li Cheng said seriously, “It’s been seven…no, I haven’t eaten such a home cooked meal in almost eight years!” 

Xu Jun asked curiously, “Don’t your parents usually cook?”

Qiu Xian winked at her quickly and kicked her several times under the table. The female alpha was kicked by her wife but was full of question marks. She really didn’t know what she said wrong.

Li Cheng saw the movement between them and joked: “Teacher Qiu, don’t kick her. The table is shaking because of your kicks. It will collapse after a while.”

“…” Qiu Xian mumbled: “Where do I have so much strength?” 

The school staff knew that Li Cheng was an orphan. Qiu Xian had never mentioned this to her lover before, and she did not expect Xu Jun to accidentally touch Li Cheng’s wounds.

“My parents left early, so you don’t have to feel sorry for me. It’s been so many years, I accepted it a long time ago.” Li Cheng smiled, his tone sounded quite relaxed, “and she didn’t mean it. She doesn’t know about it either. Don’t worry, I’m not that vulnerable, and I…”

“Li Cheng, eat fish.” Xiao Yiheng, who was sitting next to him, suddenly picked out a piece of fish, and it was the tenderest and most complete piece of fish with the fishtail. All the fish bones were removed in advance, and what fell in Li Cheng’s bowl was a whole piece of white fish. “Eat fish and swim fast.”

Li Cheng was taken aback: “What feudal superstition is this?” 

“This is not feudal superstition, this is a good omen.”

As soon as he interrupted, the conversation about Li Cheng’s parents unconsciously closed. Li Cheng concentrated on eating fish, and Xiao Yiheng concentrated on picking fish for him. For a while, the atmosphere was unexpectedly good.

Xu Jun’s eyes fell on the two children, and she could vaguely see something.

In order to celebrate the birth of Qiu Xian’s baby, Li Cheng proposed a toast. They didn’t drink alcohol, they drank iced coke that had just been taken out of the refrigerator. 

There were crystal drops of water condensed on the outer wall of the can. One sip of the iced drink made the scalp numb. Li Cheng drank too fast and choked, and accidentally spilled some on the T-shirt.

What he was wearing today was a light-colored T-shirt, and as soon as the coke spilled on it, it instantly turned black.

Xiao Yiheng took out a tissue and handed it to him: “How old are you? You still spill coke on yourself while drinking?”

Li Cheng hummed, “You don’t know how to serve your venerable father at this age? If you are filial, hurry up and take off your clothes and give them to me.” 

He originally wanted to take verbal advantage of Xiao Yiheng’s words, but he didn’t expect Xiao Yiheng to take off his T-shirt and give it to him without saying a word.

Li Cheng was taken aback, and subconsciously suppressed the hem of his T-shirt, screaming: “Xiao Yiheng, don’t act like a hoodlum ah! Also..also..also there are outsiders! My own clothes are good enough, why do you want me to wear yours?”

Xiao Yiheng raised his eyebrows: “Don’t you think your clothes are dirty?”

“I dislike your smelly clothes even more!” 

Of course Xiao Yiheng’s clothes were not smelly. Not only were they not smelly, if smelled carefully, you could still smell the refreshing smell of alpine cedar. In addition to the smell of coke, the T-shirt on Li Cheng’s body also carried a smell of baby milk. It probably came due to Li Cheng playing with the baby.

Li Cheng 1.83 meters tall. Qiu Xian took out the longest T-shirt in the house. It looked like a tight-fitting navel-bearing top on him. There was no other way. Li Cheng had to wear the dirty T-shirt with a bitter face.

“How about this?” Xiao Yiheng thought for a while, “Aren’t you coming to my home to get homework in a while? I will find you a coat. You can wear it directly on the T-shirt, so that no one will pay attention.”

Since they needed to reach Xiao Yiheng’s home as soon as possible to get the coat, they did not continue to bother Qiu Xian’s family. 

Qiu Xian stayed at home to take care of the baby while Xu Jun sent the two children all the way out of the community.

Along the way, Li Cheng kept trying to cover the coke traces on his chest with both hands, looking stupid, always worried that others would look at him.

Xiao Yiheng had no choice but to say, “I told you to change clothes with me.”

Li Cheng whistled, Xiao Yiheng’s words entered his ears and went right out, acting as if he didn’t hear anything. 

Xu Jun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: “…Actually, you are in love?”

Xiao Yiheng: “…”

Li Cheng: “??? No, no, it’s not like that.”

Xu Jun: “I realized it long back. You two are going out alone today, it must be a date.” 

Xiao Yiheng: “…”

Li Cheng: “??? Really no, really no, you don’t know what you are talking about!!”

Xu Jun nodded, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell your Teacher Qiu about this. After all, you still have to avoid the teacher for things like puppy love.”

She showed a smile like someone from an older generation, patted Xiao Yiheng on the shoulder, and then patted Li Cheng on the shoulder. Her eyes were full of blessings and gratification. 

Li Cheng: “It is not like that. I really think you have misunderstood something.”

What’s wrong with this world? Why did the Little Tigers think he and Xiao Yiheng were deeply involved? Coach Wu thought he and Xiao Yiheng were in love with each other, Huang Yelun thought he and Xiao Yiheng’s had marital harmony, and now even Xu Jun felt that he and Xiao Yiheng were dating!

What on earth were they talking about! Love! Dating! What happened?!

… 

The taxi stopped at the downstairs of Xiao’s house. Xiao Yiheng went upstairs to pick up clothes and homework. Li Cheng could only wait in the lobby on the first floor.

The Xiao family was located in a splendid neighborhood in an elaborately decorated high-end community. The interior of the lobby on the first floor was a dazzling sight and there were sofas for rest. The coke traces on Li Cheng’s T-shirt had been blown dry, leaving only a brown stain.

Li Cheng always felt that the people coming and going in the lobby were staring at his chest.

He asked: “Can’t I go upstairs with you? Didn’t you say that your parents are not at home?” 

He had a bad impression of Mama Xiao, and always felt that she looked down her nose at people. If she was at home, he would never want to step foot in the Xiao family home.

Xiao Yiheng didn’t answer directly, only shook his head.

Fortunately, Xiao Yiheng moved quickly. Li Cheng only waited three or four minutes downstairs. Xiao Yiheng walked out of the elevator with the homework he wrote that year together with a neat and tidy school uniform jacket.

“Why is it a school uniform again… I really doubt whether there are clothes in your closet that ordinary high school boys would wear.” Although Li Cheng complained, his body was extremely honest. He wore Xiao Yiheng’s school uniform jacket, quickly pulled the zipper to the top, wrapping himself tightly. 

The freshly washed school uniform jacket still had the clean fragrance of the washing powder along with a faint pheromone smell.

When Li Cheng put on this jacket, he seemed to be held in Xiao Yiheng’s arms.

Li Cheng suddenly felt a little hot, so he pulled the zipper down a bit to get some air.

Xiao Yiheng didn’t notice Li Cheng’s uneasiness. He handed over the homework to Li Cheng: “This is the homework for the National Health Education Course. Although it was stipulated to write 600 words, I wrote 800 words at the time. It should be enough for your reference.” 

As expected of a study god. Even the elective homework was so excellent. The writing on the assignment was neat and distinct, each and every stroke was structured and beautiful. Li Cheng’s words were out and out of the “ant style”, densely packed in small groups. Compared with Xiao Yiheng, it was truly heaven and hell.

Li Cheng secretly compared the handwriting of the two people in his heart, and the more he compared, the more frustrated he became.

Forget it, even if Xiao Yiheng was good at everything else, put him in the swimming pool, and he couldn’t compare with this Li-ge.

Li Cheng borrowed the homework and left in high spirits. He wanted to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible to catch up with his homework. He had to write an essay of 1200 words. 

The school uniform jacket on his body hugged his body, the smell of alpine cedar surrounded his nose. Li Cheng walked briskly. Somehow, his mood became especially bright.

Xiao Yiheng stood at the door of the apartment building, looking at Li Cheng’s back, as if the sun was also walking away with him. It wasn’t until the boy’s figure disappeared completely that Xiao Yiheng let out a sigh of relief, slowly turned and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator stopped on the floor of the Xiao family house. The visual electronic doorbell on the Xiao’s house door accurately recorded Xiao Yiheng’s time of entry and exit.

With the advanced development of technology, almost every household used electronic doorbells, and everyone who appeared outside the house would be recorded by the camera. For other people’s homes, this electronic doorbell was used to guard against theft, while for the Xiao home, it had another important function. 

Xiao Yiheng returned home and put on slippers at the entrance in the hallway.

A camera placed in the hallway suddenly made a mechanical buzzing sound and turned in the direction of Xiao Yiheng.

After a beep from the camera, Mother Xiao’s voice came out.

“Yiheng, why are you home so late today?” The camera moving left and right exuded a red light, similar to the eyes of Mother Xiao, “I said long ago, you shouldn’t be an assistant teacher. Can being a teaching assistant give you extra credits, or recommend you to university? More importantly, after you just came home, why did you suddenly go out again? What did you go out for?” 

The questions were intensely bombarded but Xiao Yiheng’s expression remained unchanged. Pretending that the network was bad and the sound was inaudible, he changed his slippers and went back to his bedroom.

Fortunately, Mother Xiao had not become frenzied, and she had not installed a camera in his bedroom, which gave Xiao Yiheng a chance to breathe.

The young alpha threw himself into the bed, took out his mobile phone, and after some taps, opened a private bank account.

Every cent of money in the account was the money he saved after entrusting teacher Qiu Xian to help him consign his works for sale over the past three years. 

Now, this amount of money has accumulated to a very impressive figure. If Li Cheng saw it, he would definitely make a big fuss.

And this account was straightforwardly named “FXXK U MONEY” by Xiao Yiheng.

Xiao Yiheng clicked and opened another account book, which was filled with every amount of expenditure the Xiao family’s parents had paid for him.

New Year’s Eve money; food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses; cram school money, medical expenses…it cost a lot of money to raise children, and the Xiao family had been pursuing elite education. In the past 17 years, they had spent a lot of money on Xiao Yiheng just to let him realize their unfinished dreams. 

Every cent they spent on Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yiheng would pay them back.

After three years of accumulation, “FXXK U MONEY” was about to catch up with the total expenditure in the accounting book.

In just a while, he was going to save enough.

In just a while, he would be free.

What’s wrong with this world? Why did the Little Tigers think he and Xiao Yiheng were deeply involved? Coach Wu thought he and Xiao Yiheng were in love with each other, Huang Yelun thought he and Xiao Yiheng’s had marital harmony, and now even Xu Jun felt that he and Xiao Yiheng were dating!

What on earth were they talking about! Love! Dating! What happened?!

… 

The taxi stopped at the downstairs of Xiao’s house. Xiao Yiheng went upstairs to pick up clothes and homework. Li Cheng could only wait in the lobby on the first floor.

The Xiao family was located in a splendid neighborhood in an elaborately decorated high-end community. The interior of the lobby on the first floor was a dazzling sight and there were sofas for rest. The coke traces on Li Cheng’s T-shirt had been blown dry, leaving only a brown stain.

Li Cheng always felt that the people coming and going in the lobby were staring at his chest.

He asked: “Can’t I go upstairs with you? Didn’t you say that your parents are not at home?” 

He had a bad impression of Mama Xiao, and always felt that she looked down her nose at people. If she was at home, he would never want to step foot in the Xiao family home.

Xiao Yiheng didn’t answer directly, only shook his head.

Fortunately, Xiao Yiheng moved quickly. Li Cheng only waited three or four minutes downstairs. Xiao Yiheng walked out of the elevator with the homework he wrote that year together with a neat and tidy school uniform jacket.

“Why is it a school uniform again… I really doubt whether there are clothes in your closet that ordinary high school boys would wear.” Although Li Cheng complained, his body was extremely honest. He wore Xiao Yiheng’s school uniform jacket, quickly pulled the zipper to the top, wrapping himself tightly. 

The freshly washed school uniform jacket still had the clean fragrance of the washing powder along with a faint pheromone smell.

When Li Cheng put on this jacket, he seemed to be held in Xiao Yiheng’s arms.

Li Cheng suddenly felt a little hot, so he pulled the zipper down a bit to get some air.

Xiao Yiheng didn’t notice Li Cheng’s uneasiness. He handed over the homework to Li Cheng: “This is the homework for the National Health Education Course. Although it was stipulated to write 600 words, I wrote 800 words at the time. It should be enough for your reference.” 

As expected of a study god. Even the elective homework was so excellent. The writing on the assignment was neat and distinct, each and every stroke was structured and beautiful. Li Cheng’s words were out and out of the “ant style”, densely packed in small groups. Compared with Xiao Yiheng, it was truly heaven and hell.

Li Cheng secretly compared the handwriting of the two people in his heart, and the more he compared, the more frustrated he became.

Forget it, even if Xiao Yiheng was good at everything else, put him in the swimming pool, and he couldn’t compare with this Li-ge.

Li Cheng borrowed the homework and left in high spirits. He wanted to go back to the dormitory as soon as possible to catch up with his homework. He had to write an essay of 1200 words. 

The school uniform jacket on his body hugged his body, the smell of alpine cedar surrounded his nose. Li Cheng walked briskly. Somehow, his mood became especially bright.

Xiao Yiheng stood at the door of the apartment building, looking at Li Cheng’s back, as if the sun was also walking away with him. It wasn’t until the boy’s figure disappeared completely that Xiao Yiheng let out a sigh of relief, slowly turned and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator stopped on the floor of the Xiao family house. The visual electronic doorbell on the Xiao’s house door accurately recorded Xiao Yiheng’s time of entry and exit.

With the advanced development of technology, almost every household used electronic doorbells, and everyone who appeared outside the house would be recorded by the camera. For other people’s homes, this electronic doorbell was used to guard against theft, while for the Xiao home, it had another important function. 

Xiao Yiheng returned home and put on slippers at the entrance in the hallway.

A camera placed in the hallway suddenly made a mechanical buzzing sound and turned in the direction of Xiao Yiheng.

After a beep from the camera, Mother Xiao’s voice came out.

“Yiheng, why are you home so late today?” The camera moving left and right exuded a red light, similar to the eyes of Mother Xiao, “I said long ago, you shouldn’t be an assistant teacher. Can being a teaching assistant give you extra credits, or recommend you to university? More importantly, after you just came home, why did you suddenly go out again? What did you go out for?” 

The questions were intensely bombarded but Xiao Yiheng’s expression remained unchanged. Pretending that the network was bad and the sound was inaudible, he changed his slippers and went back to his bedroom.

Fortunately, Mother Xiao had not become frenzied, and she had not installed a camera in his bedroom, which gave Xiao Yiheng a chance to breathe.

The young alpha threw himself into the bed, took out his mobile phone, and after some taps, opened a private bank account.

Every cent of money in the account was the money he saved after entrusting teacher Qiu Xian to help him consign his works for sale over the past three years. 

Now, this amount of money has accumulated to a very impressive figure. If Li Cheng saw it, he would definitely make a big fuss.

And this account was straightforwardly named “FXXK U MONEY” by Xiao Yiheng.

Xiao Yiheng clicked and opened another account book, which was filled with every amount of expenditure the Xiao family’s parents had paid for him.

New Year’s Eve money; food, clothing, housing and transportation expenses; cram school money, medical expenses…it cost a lot of money to raise children, and the Xiao family had been pursuing elite education. In the past 17 years, they had spent a lot of money on Xiao Yiheng just to let him realize their unfinished dreams. 

Every cent they spent on Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Yiheng would pay them back.

After three years of accumulation, “FXXK U MONEY” was about to catch up with the total expenditure in the accounting book.

In just a while, he was going to save enough.

In just a while, he would be free.
