Chapter 401 - Temporary Guest (1/2)

Shameless!” Ye Qiu tugged at the collar on Ye Xiu’s jacket. In the end, he wasn’t able to get anything out of it though and could only grind his teeth in anger. Chen Guo suddenly empathized with his hateful, yet helpless expression because Ye Xiu frequently put her in this sort of situation as well.

“It looks like you weren’t educated well enough.” Ye Xiu’s expression was the same as usual.

“Come back home with me!” Ye Qiu gnashed his teeth.

“No way.” Ye Xiu said.

Ye Qiu’s gaze was deep and profound as if he were about to pull off some powerful move. Chen Guo continued to watch, waiting for it to happen. However, the scene froze and stopped playing…….

“Are you tired? Hurry up and let go. Show some respect to your elders.” Ye Xiu said and made a slap. It seemed like Ye Qiu’s hands weren’t using much force and were slapped aside by Ye Xiu.

“Your overcoat seems pretty nice?” Ye Xiu, with his sole jacket, looked at the overcoat that had been hanging on Ye Qiu’s arm the entire time.

“No way!” Ye Qiu resolutely hid the overcoat behind him.

“How selfish.” Ye Xiu disdained.

“When are you going to give back the stuff you took from me?” Ye Qiu said.

“Didn’t I give you back your proof of ident.i.ty?”

Ye Qiu suddenly choked. He had clearly forgotten about that part.

Chen Guo raised her hand: “Could you go into more details? The story behind the proof of ident.i.ty.”

“Oh….. that one……. That time, when I was going to join the Pro Alliance, I obviously needed to use official doc.u.ments as proof of my ident.i.ty. However, even though I was old enough, because I ran away from my family, I didn’t have anything I could use as proof.” Ye Xiu said.

“When this disgrace went back home to steal some proof, he wasn’t able to steal the household register, so he took my proof of ident.i.ty instead.” Ye Qiu immediately followed.

“I was borrowing. Didn’t I give it back to you?” Ye Xiu said.

“You didn’t tell me, so that’s considered stealing!”

“I did tell you later.”

“So it’s like that!” Chen Guo suddenly understood. This explained why Ye Xiu used “Ye Qiu” in the pro scene.

“Yeah, it’s not like I could have used a fake proof!” Ye Xiu said.

Chen Guo began to sweat. Isn’t using someone else’s proof of ident.i.ty and using a fake ident.i.ty practically the same? They were twin brothers, so it was hard to tell the difference.

“Luck you, look how famous your name is now.” Ye Xiu said to Ye Qiu.

“Tch.” Ye Qiu coldly expressed his disdain.

“You used such a familiar name. You weren’t worried that your family would find you?” Chen Guo asked.

“If I had used Ye Xiu, then that might have been troublesome. But since I used a weak, common street name like Ye Qiu, there was no need to worry.” Ye Xiu said.

“Nonsense! The key point is that no one had imagined that you would run away from the family to play games. You’re the weak one!” Ye Qiu shouted.

“Oh? Then when you wanted to leave the family that time, what were you planning on doing?” Ye Xiu asked.

“Uh….. I……” Ye Qiu tried hard to recall.

“Or maybe you had a dream you wanted to fulfill?” Ye Xiu asked.

“My dream at that time…… was to leave the family……” Ye Qiu said.

…… Chen Guo nearly spat out her drink. She suddenly felt sorry for the parents of these two brothers. What type of family environment was this, to make these two brothers want to leave the family? Chen Guo was very curious.

“That’s the difference between me and you.” Ye Xiu said.

“Tch.” Ye Qiu expressed his disdain.

“Actually, I stopped hiding after a while. The family could easily force me to come back, but do you know why they never did so?” Ye Xiu said.

“Why?” Ye Qiu couldn’t help but ask.

“Because my dream was the game and that was all.” Ye Xiu said.

“Huh?” Ye Qiu and Chen Guo asked.

“An eSports career favors the young. I’m already considered old as a pro. Even if I persisted, I wouldn’t be able to go on for much longer. This is why my dream will end at an early age. When that time comes, I’ll naturally come back because that place will forever be my home. And at my age, there’s still time for me to make a turn around at life. This is why my family left me alone.” Ye Xiu said.

“And you? You’re different. Your dream was only to leave the family. You’re clearly even more rebellious than me. I at least knew what to do after I ran away. You? You wanted to run just for the sake of running away. If you ran away, would you think of coming back? From my view, you probably wouldn’t, so it’d be best if you just stayed in the family like an obedient child. Leaving home…… did you really think that it would be fun?” Ye Xiu said.

Ye Qiu was stumped for words. He had even forgotten to express his usual disdain. Chen Guo was also surprised. Ye Xiu was actually a good brother. He was more sensible than his brother and saw the issue more thoroughly.

“So I won’t be going back to celebrate New Years. When the time comes, I’ll come back on my own.”

After Chen Guo heard this, she suddenly wondered whether Ye Xiu was only saying all of that as an excuse to not go back home.

As for Ye Qiu? After a short pause, he suddenly smiled: “It won’t be too late if I come back home tomorrow.”

He turned his head to look at Chen Guo: “Boss, is it okay if I stay here for the night?”

Chen Guo nodded her head: “You can even stay here for a few nights if you want.”

“Can you not look for trouble.” Ye Xiu immediately stopped her, “Look how evil this guy looks.”
