I Just Want to Be in a Relationship-Chapter 4 - Weren't You Graduated from A Big Brothel

Chapter 4: Weren’t You Graduated from A Big Brothel

Huo Qu circled around the villa area for half an hour, but he still couldn’t find his house. In the he had to open his little notebook and gave a call to his home phone.

Huo fu ren(madam) was sitting in the living room with tears rolling down her cheeks. Without further ado, she hurriedly embraced her youngest son the moment she saw him, not waiting for Huo Qu to finish taking off his shoes. She kept crying out her beloved baby and her tears soaked through Huo Qu’s shirt.

“We have drivers at home but you stubbornly want to go to the research lab by yourself! Don’t you know how worry I was the entire day. I was scared to death that you’ll meet with an accident! I can’t even take a single bite!”

Huo Qu went stiff. He looked at his mother without knowing what to do and his mouth sew shut never uttering a single word.

Huo fu ren swept away pieces of hair from her youngest son’s forehead and lightly tweaked his nose.

Her youngest son was really intelligent. At the age of 20, he had achieved double PhD and entered a research institution. He had also received countless award overseas and numerous institutions were vying to snatch him up. It could be said that he was the leading scientist in the field of Mathematical physics.

However, it’s just that he wasn’t even comparable to a 3 years old in life.

Didn’t know how to boil water and couldn’t recognize route. Not only that, he couldn’t take the public transportation nor could he get a cab.

One glance at complex element and he could already stored it in his brain, but he couldn’t remember the basic of living knowledge. It was useless no matter how much they tried to teach him.

“Don’t do this next time, okay?” When Huo fu ren saw Huo Qu lowered down his head with a muddled look, regardless of how anger she was, Huo fu ren had no choice but to bear with it. She could only insistently demanded by faking a stern expression.

“Enough, our son already come back. You say those things for what.” Huo ba(father/sir) moved to her side and wiped her tears, “Crying like this in front of our child, you don’t feel embarrass ah.”

Huo fu ren glared at him and viciously pinched his hand, “My own son, I say a few things also cannot?”

“Can can can, my mistake.” Huo ba was pinched to the point of grimacing in pain but he didn’t cry out. He smoothly apologized after hearing what his wife said and finally made her turned tears into laughter.

Huo ba shifted his body towards Huo Qu and lightly said, “San-er, you go back to your room first and wait for me to tell Aunty Lee to send up some food.”

[T/N: 三儿 (san-er):Meaning third born, but in affectionate view with the usage of -er.]

Huo Qu had been waiting for that command, impatiently nodded his head and briskly headed to his room.

Looking at his son’s lean straight back, Huo ba couldn’t help but to sigh.

He had three son. The eldest, Huo Zheng and the second, Huo Rong were twins. Huo Zheng took over his business and walked the same career path as Huo ba had. Huo Zheng could mingle in the political circle with ease. On the other hand, Huo Rong chose commerce. Only a couple of years but he had created quite a number of commercial legend and was also rather famous in the country, so Huo ba didn’t have to feel worried.

The one that made him anxious was Huo Qu, his youngest son.

“Lao Huo, our san-er can’t go on like this,” Huo fu ren said to her partner while wiping her tears:

“Do you know that my heart was in a mess the entire day. I was too scare that he will knock or hit something. We give san-er a few more bodyguard ba.”

Huo ba shook his head,”San-er already has a lot of bodyguard. Losing him today was an accident, we see first ba.”

They had always been humble even though Huo Jia(House) was powerful. Besides, their bodyguards were selected for their quality rather than quantity so hiring more would be useless.

Huo Jia Fu(Father) Mu(Mother) were talking downstairs, while Huo Qu was sitting in his room, looking at the number on the note in daze. When Aunty Lee sent food and swept a glance across the room, she didn’t find it odd.

Youngest master had been like that since young, always lost in his own world. He gave no reactions whatsoever to the outside world, to the point of forgetting to eat.

Aunty Lee put the food at the door. She was about to holler at Huo Qu to eat when Huo Zhong and Huo Rong passed by. They stealthily looked inside their little brother’s room.

“Ge, xiao di(little brother) is daydreaming again.” Huo Rong sighed and raised his feet, wanted to enter the room but suddenly recalled his little brother’s OCD-ness. He didn’t dare to go in the end and could only silently whispered in Huo Zhong’s ear.

“I will give a call to the research institute later and ask for a few days leave for xiao di.” Huo Zhong rubbed his temple, his eyes full of worry towards his littlest brother.

Huo Rong instantly shook his head: “Take leave is useless, he’s the same even at home.” After stopping awhile, he continued saying: “Ge, I want to discuss something with you. I want to bring xiao di to my company to stroll around.”

Huo Rong’s company was called Xing Guang(Star Light), and was the country most famous entertainment corporation. Movie emperor and empress were breeding like flies. It was a holy realm that many aspiring actors trying to crack opened their head to squeeze in.

“Don’t you dare think about it.” Huo Zhong berated him: “Those kind of murky atmosphere in the showbiz, what if they swindle xiao di!”

Huo Rong thought it through and could only changed his mind. When they wanted to quietly walked away, Huo Qu suddenly raised his head and looked at them.

Huo Rong’s heart melted when his family youngest brother looked at them cutely, “What’s wrong, san-er~(づ￣ ³￣)づ”

Upon seeing that Σ(っ°□°;)っ, Huo Zhong quickly push his er di(second brother) away and stretched his neck to look into the room, “Xiao(small/young) Qu, do you need big brother’s help with something?”

At first they thought he wouldn’t respond but Huo Qu suddenly nodded his head slowly. He then raised his hand and showed a piece of paper in his palm, “What is this?”

Xiao di willingly talked to them! (T ^ T)/

Both siblings jolted in shock and simultaneously looked at Huo Qu’s palm.

Huo Rong opened an entertainment company, so naturally he could see with a glance that it was an audition number. No only that, there was a small symbol of Xing Guang Entertainment below the name Yu Qing Huan. This proved that this person belonged to his company.

Where did xiao di (little bro) know this person? Could it be that, that person knew xiao di identity, so purposely wanted to approach him?

In a blink of an eye, Huo Rong’s brain went through many different scenarios and told what he knew to Huo Zhong. Huo Zhong intensely probed about the origin of the note.

Unfortunately, Huo Qu was a person who would put aside something after finished using it. Once he found out what he wanted, he ignored his two brothers.

Hao Qu shut his door with a bang while ignoring the probing gaze from them. With his head down, he lightly and carefully rubbed the number. Didn’t know what he was thinking about.

On the other hand, Yu Qing Huan was eating a bowl of piping hot beef noodle outside. Only after finishing, he went back to the company.

Yu Xin was already waiting for Yu Qing Huan since earlier. The moment he saw Yu Qing Huan, Yu Xin immediately walked towards him and stuffed a thick script into his hand,”You finally come back. I waited for you for almost half a day. This is the script that Director Liu give, you better train properly and don’t do too many NG.”

“Ge, you already remind me a lot of time.” Yu Qing Huan took the script and walked to his sofa while replying without energy.

“It’s for your own good!” Yu Xin raised his hand to hit the back of Yu Qing Huan’s head, but Yu Qing Huan only grinned and dodged it. Yu Xin felt helpless, “I say you, such a good opportunity, if it’s someone else, long time ago already burst with joy. But you, one reaction also don’t have.”

Obviously before the audition, this kid was rubbing his fist and wiping his palm, preparing to go out all in one shot but how come after the audition succeeded, he became at peace with himself.

[T/N: 摩拳擦掌 (mo quan ca zhang): Idiom – to rub one’s fist and wipe one’s palm. Meaning: Eager to start a task.]

[T/N: 心如止水 (xin ru zhi shui): Idiom – to be at peace with oneself. Meaning: Feeling calm or at ease.]

“It end up with that outcome anyway, happy or not is the same. ” Yu Qing Huan fished out two lottery ticket from his pocket and slapped it on the coffee table with a bang, “Ge, if my lottery ticket win 5 million, I will provide for you to become my exclusive manager.”

“Let it drop, okay.” Yu Xin rolled his eyes, “5 million is what? You see that more or less like you small fresh meat, one TV drama already a few millions, rather than depending on lottery, why don’t you take acting seriously.”

But Yu Xin’s heart felt a little touch. This kid, although couldn’t see from his face, but who was kind to him, his heart could see with clarity.

As Yu Xin said this, he suddenly remembered something, he slapped the back of his head and said: “Got sidetrack by you, I almost forget to tell you. Tomorrow follow me to your Alma mater for a while. We make a topic of Hua Da’s xiao cao, to prepare for your debut.”

[T/N: 华大校草 (hua da xiao cao): 华大 (hua da) is the university abbreviation and 校草 (xiao cao) means the most handsome man in school.]

“Can not go?” Yu Qing Huan both eyes stared blankly. He, this old cucumber painted green lacquer person, still wanted to market what xiao cao, simply making his face hot.

[T/N: 老黄瓜刷绿漆 (lao huang gua shua lu qi): Means 装嫩 (zhuang nen) – to act young. Literally translated to old cucumber painted green paint, old cucumber is yellowish in color and when painted on green paint, it will take on an appearance of green but it’s a pretend so…yeah)

“No.” Yu Xin’s attitude was 100% firm. He stood up, not giving Yu Qing Huan any opportunity to reject, Yu Xin urged him to sleep early and then left.

After Yu Xin left, Yu Qing Huan sat at the sofa thinking for a long time. In his last life, there were no such thing, but after he went through the audition, his life trajectory seems to deviate further away from his previous lifetime.

He didn’t want to continue mingling in the entertainment circle anymore, but things seems to refuse to be controlled.

Yu Qing Huan rubbed his slightly swelling temple and threw away the messy thoughts in his head. Forget about it, take one step at a time ba.

The next day early in the morning, Yu Qing Huan was dig out of from his nest. He wore the clothes prepared by Yu Xin long ago and left to school with blurry eyes.

In the end, when they just stepped out, they encountered Gao Yun Cheng and his manager. Both were tag along by a group of assistants and cameras, rushing from outside, didn’t know what they were doing.

Gao Yun Cheng debuted 2 years earlier than Yu Qing Huan, resources were not bad and he acted in two idol drama. His family manager created a honest and just image for Gao Yun Cheng, everyday in Weibo hate heaven hate earth, but a pity that the response was lukewarm and not popular.

[T/N: 怼天怼地 (dui tian dui di): Chinese slang for being hateful and criticizing of everyone.]

Gao Yun Cheng had went to the audition for the third male lead of ‘The Line of Life and Death’. But the result, he only managed to say a few lines before Director Liu kicked him out.

So when he found out that Yu Qing Huan passed the audition, Gao Yun Cheng couldn’t restrain his anger.

He had an uncleared relationship with a small higher-up in Xing Guang, and got to know about the work that Yu Xin gave Yu Qing Huan first. In order to make Yu Qing Huan felt uncomfortable, he immediately ran to Hua Da for a photoshoot early in the morning. After the expert finished retouching the pictures, Gao Yun Cheng quickly post them to Weibo. Then the topic about “Gao Yun Cheng National Xiao Cao” already became a hit.

[T/N: 国民校草 (guo ming xiao cao): National handsome man.]

“Going for photoshoot?” Gao Yun Cheng, with an untamed styled black hair and cold expression, looked at Yu Qing Huan, “This morning haven’t see Weibo ba, the people from small area are small minded and used to picking up other’s leftover to eat!”

When Yu Xin heard this words, he immediately knew something was up. He shakily pulled out his phone to see and suddenly felt angry until he was spouting smoke through his seven orifices. Yu Xin never thought that Gao Yun Cheng and his team would do this and now in Weibo, everywhere was discussing about Gao Yun Cheng, the national xiao cao. They even advertised the damned thing!

Even though this trick wasn’t that brilliant, but a toad landed on one’s foot, it didn’t bite but one still felt threaten by it!

Yu Qing Huan didn’t even felt a thing because when he was shining brilliantly at the top in his previous life, the showbiz didn’t have this person called Gao Yun Cheng. He looked at Gao Yun Cheng with an unwavering expression and lightly remarked: “National xiao cao?”

“What? You can but others cannot?” Gao Yun Cheng thought that he succeeded in infuriating Yu Qing Huan, so he proudly raised his chin with his eyes full of provocation.

Yu Qing Huan spread his hands without a care, “Of course, but I feel that there’s a part that you write wrongly in Weibo.”

What? There was a mistake?

Gao Yun Cheng immediately panicked after he heard what Yu Qing Huan said. He hurriedly fished out his phone to find his wire copy and rapidly went through it once.

There were no typo mistake and also didn’t have anything inappropriate. Everything was praising his coolness.

Gao Yun Cheng raised his head angrily. He was just about to mock Yu Qing Huan’s low tolerance and wanted to play Yu Qing Huan, when he suddenly heard Yu Qing Huan calmly said: “You see this, here write Hua Da Xiao Cao[华大校草(school)]. This isn’t right ba, aren’t you graduated from Da Ji Yuan[大妓院]? How does your team manage things, even school also can write wrong.”

[T/N: 华大校草 (Hua Da Xiao Cao): 小草, Xiao Cao means the most handsome man in school. Both 小 and 校 sounds alike thus the play on word.]

‘Da Zhi Yuan’, abbreviated from ‘Da An Zhi Ye Ji Shu Xue Yuan’. Yu Qing Huan didn’t say anything wrong, Gao Yun Cheng indeed graduated from there.

[T/N: 大安职业技术学院 (Da An Zhi Ye Ji Shu Xue Yuan): Da An Vocational Skill Academy. Its abbreviation: 大技院 (Da Zhi Yuan) is a play on word. 大技院 (Da Zhi Yuan) and 大妓院 (Da Ji Yuan) sounds alike in pin yin(intonation). Where 大技院 (Da Zhi Yuan) can be translated to Big Vocational Academy and 大妓院 (Da Ji Yuan) can be translated to Big Brothel….]

Gao Yun Cheng:”…”

You’re the one graduated from a Big Brothel! Your whole family graduated from a Big Brothel!

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

Thought that he was stupid, that he couldn’t heard the subtle play on words?!
