Chapter 292 – Abnormal Daily Life
Jinzhou City, Lanhe District, Chen family’s abode:
Chen Yike held up her phone and stared at the darkened screen in a daze.
“The more I look at him, the more he looks familiar! How can it not be him?” Chen Yike muttered to herself.
Refusing to give up on her theory, she exited the livestream room and entered Transdimensional Review’s homepage. She then looked through Chen Yu’s previous videos in an attempt to find some important information.
Bang! Bang!
At this time, someone knocked on her bedroom door vigorously.
Lifting her head, Chen Yike noticed some dust falling from the ceiling. She then sighed and asked, “What do you want, Third Eldest?”
“Big Sis! Open up!”
Placing down her phone, Chen Yike massaged her aching temples. She then walked up to the door and unlocked it. “What’s wrong with you?”
“It’s snowing again.” Straightening her chubby belly, Chen Sanke pointed outside the window and said, “I want to have a snowball fight.”
“No.” Chen Yike shook her head. “I need to cook lunch later. Find your second sister to play.”
“She’s playing with her phone. She won’t play with me.”
“Find your elder brother, then.”
“Isn’t Big Brother sleeping?”
“That…” Shrugging, Chen Yike said, “There’s no helping it, then. Don’t play.”
“No!” Chen Sanke pouted. “I want to play! I want to play! I want to play!”
“Be good.” Caressing Chen Sanke’s head, Chen Yike said, “It just started to snow, so you can’t build a snowman yet. Moreover, a snowball fight will only be fun if you have more people to play with. Even if I accompany you, we’ll only have two people. It’ll be very boring.”
“We can find White Rabbit Sister to play with! If you call her, she’ll definitely come! She’s very gentle.”
“No, that’s impolite.”
“Uu…” Chen Sanke frowned as she fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her hand and said, “Let’s go to the park! Isn’t there a Big Sister there too? She a-always joins us whenever we go there to play. Let’s go find her!”
“That’s a stranger, alright? We can’t…huh?” Before finishing her words, Chen Yike suddenly came to a realization. “Right!”
“What’s right?” Chen Sanke tilted her head in confusion.
“That’s right!” Chen Yike jumped up in excitement. “Why didn’t I think of it? That girl!”
Rushing back into her room, Chen Yike picked up her phone and browsed one of Chen Yu’s past videos where Little Peach had an appearance. She then carefully listened to Little Peach’s voice.
“Yes! This is it! This voice…”
As Chen Yike’s memory gradually recovered, her face flushed with excitement.
She finally remembered.
During the two previous instances where they went to have a snowball fight in the nearby park, the girl that joined them on both occasions shared the exact same voice as the female assistant in Transdimensional Review’s program. However, as Chen Yike had only made contact with that “girl” a few times and barely heard the other party speak, she failed to realize this similarity right away.
“This is great! Third Eldest!” Chen Yike picked up Chen Sanke excitedly and lifted her up high. “You’re amazing!”
Blinking her eyes, Chen Sanke asked, “Am I valuable now?”
“Huh?”
“Huh.”
“What are you talking about?!” Placing down her little sister, Chen Yike said sternly, “Stop sticking to me. I have an important business to deal with right now.”
“Are we still having a snowball fight, then?”
“No.”
Pushing Chen Sanke aside, Chen Yike made a beeline for Chen Yu’s room, her brain spinning rapidly. Chen Sanke’s reminder had allowed her to figure out a lot of crucial points. The more she thought about the matter, the smoother her thoughts became. She also quickly noticed that throughout today’s livestream, the female assistant was nowhere to be seen.
When she clicked on Transdimensional Review’s past livestreams, she found that the female assistant was present in almost every official livestream. Even if the female assistant didn’t directly participate in the review, she would still briefly appear in the background.
However, the female assistant did not show up even for a moment during today’s official livestream.
“If I go by the premise that Chen Yu is Transdimensional’s UP, then he would have the ability to change his voice. In that case, wouldn’t it be a piece of cake for him to change his assistant’s voice as well?
“Thus…”
A light flickered in Chen Yike’s eyes. “The Chen Yu in the room is a fake?”
Lowering her phone, Chen Yike began recalling the female assistant’s behavior and actions during the past livestreams. She then recalled the two instances where she met Little Peach in the park. By the time she was done with her recollection, she had gained a rough understanding of Little Peach’s personality.
“Shh…” Straightening her back, Chen Yike looked back at her little sister, following behind her, and made a shushing gesture. She then cleared her throat and shouted in a very lively voice, “Miss Big Sister! It’s snowing outside again! Let’s hurry up and have a snowball fight! I still have some leftover firecrackers from last time!”
“Really?!” Little Peach, who was coding inside Chen Yu’s room, reacted in a pleasant surprise when she heard Chen Yike’s words. Hurriedly, she pulled apart the curtains and looked at the snowy scenery outside the window. Jumping up in excitement, she shouted, “Leave half of them for me! Snowballs with firecrackers are the be…best…”
Before Little Peach had even finished her sentence, her expression suddenly turned from joy to horror.
“Hah!” Chen Yike couldn’t help but reveal a smug grin when she heard Little Peach’s voice. She then raised her hand and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Come on out, Miss Big Sister! Your concealment has already failed! Hurry up and open the door!”
“Uu…” Pacing around the room in a panic, Little Peach said, “N-No, that… Just now…”
“Don’t try to make excuses.” Placing her hands on her hips, Chen Yike said, “In the eyes of a famous detective, there is nowhere to hide the truth. Open the door quickly!”
“I…”
“Open the door! Now! I’m calling the police if you still refuse to open the door! I want to see how you explain things to my Big Brother at that time!”
Hearing this, Little Peach fell into an even greater panic. Hurriedly, she unlocked the door.
Click.
The door opened.
Chen Yike and Little Peach stared at each other warily, both sides at a loss for words momentarily.
“Huh?” Leaning forward, Chen Sanke exclaimed in surprise, “The Miss Big Sister from the snowball fights? Why are you in my house?”
“Hehe.” After recovering from her initial shock, Chen Yike strode into Chen Yu’s room and looked around. “It seems the truth has become clear. My Brother is indeed the rumored Transdimensional’s UP. This is…truly incredible.”
“D-Don’t call the police…” Little Peach pleaded in a weak voice. “It’ll be very troublesome. Mr. Chen will definitely get angry.”
“I won’t call the police so long as you are obedient and tell me everything you know.” Sitting down on Chen Yu’s bed, Chen Yike visually inspected Little Peach before saying, “Nice to meet you, Transdimensional Review’s female assistant. What is your real name?”
“L-Little Peach.”
“Is that your real name?”
“Mhm.” Little Peach nodded.
“Hello, Peach Sister.” Chen Sanke also walked into the room. She then reached out and touched Little Peach’s breasts while exclaiming, “Wow! You’re fatter than my mother.”
Little Peach: “…”
“…Third Eldest! Get out!”
“I don’t want to,” Little Peach refused as she stared at Little Peach with an earnest gaze. She then tilted her head and asked, “Why are you inside my Big Brother’s room? Are you my Big Brother’s wife?”
“Wife?”
The mention of this keyword instantly activated Little Peach’s “dopamine production,” causing her processors to overclock. With smoke coming out of her ears, she waved her hands around in a fluster while saying, “I… Ah! Yes, I am… I am Mr. Chen’s wife… H-How did you… How did you guess it…”
“…” Chen Yike was dumbfounded by this sight. Is she a lunatic?
…
Men never looked at the explosions behind them.
Hence, Chen Yu didn’t look back at the exploding asteroid behind him, either.
After flying up to the Interstellar Portal, he passed through the portal without hesitation, returning to Earth, several hundred astronomical units away.
Whoosh—
Turning off the plasma engine, Chen Yu’s feet landed steadily on the ground. He then disconnected the spatial link and approached the nearby window to gaze at the students and professors gathered outside. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up on the thought of greeting them and made his way to the study to change out of his protective suit.
“Today’s review really ended quickly.”
After stretching his body, he returned to the main hall, altered the Interstellar Portal’s appearance, and established a spatial link with his own bedroom.
Two seconds later, the spatial link was established. Chen Yu then pushed open the wooden door and stepped through it.
Immediately afterward, Chen Yu froze on the spot.
“…”
“…”
“Big Brother!”
Chen Sanke was the first to react out of everyone inside the room. Running forward with her two stubby legs, she wrapped her arms around Chen Yu’s legs and hugged them tightly.
“Uh…” Chen Yu looked at Chen Yike briefly before shifting his gaze to Little Peach. After pondering in silence for a moment, he angrily demanded, “What is going on here!?”
“As you can see.” Mimicking the pose Chen Yu made during his livestream, Chen Yike intertwined her fingers and said slyly, “I have already exposed your identity, Mr. Transdimensional’s UP.”
Chen Yu: “How did you find out? I’ve hidden so deeply. I’ve even fooled countless elite agents all over the world.”
“You might be able to hide it from the world, but you can’t hide it from me.” Raising her head triumphantly, Chen Yike crossed her legs on her bed. “I’ve long since suspected you. The earliest instance was half a year ago. You kept hiding in your room and making all sorts of strange noises. As your smart little sister, how can I not notice it?”
“For the past six months, I’ve been trying to figure out…
“Of course, I can’t prove anything with these subjective guesses…
“Afterward, there’s the Quantum Reading Glasses…
“It’s not because I am excellent. Instead, it’s because I have an inherent advantage…”
Chen Yike rambled on for three whole minutes before stopping. “Hence, I succeeded.”
“Hmm.” Pondering, Chen Yu asked, “Did you prepare these lines in advance?”
“How did you know?”
“I heard it once last time.”
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out the Amnesia Bat from his pocket and inflated it.
Thud!
The Amnesia Bat unfolded immediately.
“So, this is a future pro—”
Thump!
Before Chen Yike could finish her sentence, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.
“Wow!” Chen Sanke exclaimed in surprise. “How fun!”
“You have some fun too, then.”
Thump!
Following a muffled sound, Chen Sanke limply collapsed to the ground and fell asleep.
“Big Brother, what are you guys doing?” Hearing the commotion, Chen Erke came running over with her phone in hand. She then poked her head into the room curiously.
Thump!
The next moment, the Amnesia Bat sent her collapsing to the ground.
“Woof?” The husky also came running over. However, after seeing the “murder scene,” its fur rose up all over its body as it said, “I awoo~am dog! I can’t speak awoo~”
Thump!
Thud.
“What’s going on here?” Mother Chen came walking over in a daze while rubbing her eyes. “What’s with all the noise? Can’t you let me sleep in—”
Thump!
“—Peace…”
Thud.
Aside from the head of the household, who was out working overtime, and the eldest son, the Chen family was…annihilated.
“What are you still standing there for? Pick them up and return them to their rooms!” Chen Yu said to Little Peach as he stored away the Amnesia Bat. He then questioned Little Peach, “Why did you open the door for her? Didn’t I tell you to keep yourself hidden properly?”
“S-She found me out,” Little Peach said timidly as she lowered her head.
“How did she find out?”
“I got tricked…”
“How stupid are you?!” Picking up Chen Sanke with his left hand and Chen Erke with his right hand, Chen Yu looked at Little Peach contemptuously and said, “You were actually played by a teenage girl? If I were you, I would die from shame.”
“Uu…”
“How long has it been since she came in?”
“A-About ten minutes…”
“Good, then. I can still wipe her memories.”
After struggling for some time and returning his family members and dog to their respective “positions,” Chen Yu returned to his bedroom. He then sat down in front of his desk and fell into deep thought.
He was thinking about how he should go about solving the trouble known as Chen Yike.
Evidently, Chen Yike had already identified him as Transdimensional Review’s uploader. With her personality, she definitely wouldn’t give up until she personally “exposed” the truth.
“Should I scare her?
“Or should I just come clean with her?
“Dammit, my head hurts…”
After returning to the room as well, Little Peach noticed a mobile phone on the ground. She then picked it up and handed it to Chen Yu, saying, “Mr. Chen, this is your second sister’s. The screen seems to be broken.”
Receiving the phone, Chen Yu gave it a quick look before tearing off the tempered glass screen protector. “It’s just the screen protector that’s broken. The screen is fine.”
Mr. Chen.” Standing before Chen Yu, Little Peach put on a remorseful face and bowed, saying, “I’m sorry for making trouble for you. I really am useless as an assistant robot.”
“It’s good that you’re aware of it.”
“So, please let me be a romance simulation robot again.” Licking her lips, Little Peach began removing her dress while saying, “My favorability counter has long been filled. You can do whatever you want…”
“Xing Biqi is so beautiful,” Chen Yu said suddenly.
“?”
“She’s much prettier than you.”
“…”
“Oh, how I wish to return to school soon so that I can spend time with her again.”
“…”
“How much favorability is left?”
“Sixty-eight.” In a choked voice, Little Peach asked, “Mr. Chen, can’t you give me a chance? The important parts will rust if they remain unused for a long time…”
Standing up, Chen Yu patted Little Peach on the shoulder and said solemnly, “Next time for sure.”
“…”
After consoling his robot, Chen Yu took out a brand new tempered glass screen protector from his desk drawer. He then walked into the living room and sat on the sofa.
However, just as Chen Yu was about to apply the new screen protector on Chen Erke’s phone, he accidentally turned on the screen. Immediately, he saw that the phone’s wallpaper was actually a photo of himself!
“What the? When did she take this?”
Turning around, Chen Yu looked at Chen Erke, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, in surprise. He then hurriedly swiped his finger across the screen, only to discover that the phone was locked with a four-digit code.
Driven by his intense curiosity and “sense of responsibility” as a brother, he decided to “inspect” Chen Erke’s phone.
Hence, he began trying different passwords.
First, he began with Chen Erke’s birthday.
0615—Error.
The end of her phone number.
0067—Error.
Her year of birth.
2013—Error…
Seeing that he only had two attempts remaining, Chen Yu frowned. He then began considering whether he should get Little Peach to use software to crack the lock.
“Hmm… Let’s try this?”
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Yu entered his own birthday.
0808—Correct!
The phone instantly unlocked, revealing a bunch of applications designed for children.
“Erm… This girl…”
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Chen Yu hurriedly swiped his finger across the screen and clicked into the phone’s photo album. Immediately, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
His reaction was because inside the photo album was row after row of photos, and 80% of them were photos of himself.
Moreover, they were all taken secretly…
“Something’s wrong here…”
Chen Yu subconsciously rubbed his faintly aching joints before tapping out of the photo album with his trembling finger. He then tapped into the phone’s web browser and inspected the browsing history. Immediately afterward, he felt a tingling pain in his eyes…
“Crap…”
