Super God Grandmaster

Chapter 37: Chapter 33: Fate Begins with the Enemy_2 Chapter 37: Chapter 33: Fate Begins with the Enemy_2 “What a fantasy, I’m not so crazy to fantasize about a wife.”

“I heard your mother is very strict and you have a tendency towards violence. Did she beat you too often? Do you often use this method to numb yourself?” She heard from Young Master Ze that his mother often beat him with a ruler.

“It’s not as bad as you say, my mom doesn’t have a tendency towards violence.”

“You don’t even know who your father is, yet you still take your mother’s last name. Did your father run off with someone?” Yu Qing asked curiously.

Ye Chen felt a bit cold, threw a handful of firewood into the fire, and sneered, “You seem very interested in my business.” He hadn’t expected her to know even this in just a few days. It must be true that there are no secrets in Immortal City.

“I just wanted to ask.”

“Are you looking down on a country bumpkin who’s scared of his mother? Do you think I’m totally useless?”

“When did I say that! You said I’m insecure, you said I’m pretending, I think you’re the one who’s insecure!”

“How could I possibly be insecure.” Remembering what he said last night, this girl really holds a grudge, he said, “You really remembered what I said last night, and you’re still holding onto it.”

“No, I didn’t remember anything.” Guo Yuqing definitely wouldn’t admit to it.

“Still denying it, last night, I just casually mentioned that you’re not genuine, that you’re a bit insecure, and you remembered it. You’re still holding onto it now.” Ye Chen sniffed.

“Aren’t you the same way, holding onto when people say that you’re a country bumpkin who came from a village.”

“This is where I’m different from you, I don’t care when others call me a bumpkin. There are some things that I was born with and can’t change. I accept that. Only by accepting who I am can I then change myself, to be the real me. So I used to be an ignorant village boy, but I can use this to motivate me to keep moving forward, I won’t get mad just because someone calls me a bumpkin.”

Qing’er sneered and said, “You make it sound so true, motivating yourself and all. You don’t know anything but still casually judge others. Do you even understand yourself?”

“If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”

“You said I’m not genuine, what part of me do you think is not genuine?”

“Do I even have to say! On the surface, you seem bright and confident, but in reality, you’re not confident at all. You’re scared that people will approach you only for your beauty. You know that Qiao Haoyu is a scumbag, but you still can’t refuse him. Isn’t that pretending? I won’t even bother talking about your mother!”

“You’re the one who’s pretending.”

“See, just the mention of these two words gets you all riled up.”

“I’m not.”

“Personally, I think you don’t need to care about this, you shouldn’t engage with this. You can’t change these things anyway, you might as well be your true self.”

“Are you saying that you have become your true self? You make it sound so real.”

“Me! I can’t say that I’ve become my true self, but I do hope to be my true self. That’s what I’m striving for.” Ye Chen said.

“I also feel that I am being my true self.” Guo Yuyun said.

“Really! Then why do I feel that you’re not genuine.”

“That’s just your feeling. Don’t presume that you understand me, brat!”

“Take Qiao Haoyu for example, everyone knows he’s a scoundrel who flirts around. There’s no way he could truly like you. Most people find him quite annoying, but you still got close to him.”

“Does that mean I have to avoid him? We’re still alumni after all. Why can’t I meet with him, are you saying we’re not allowed to see each other!”

“Exactly, it just proves that you’re pretending. You don’t like Qiao Haoyu but for the sake of your image and because you’re scared of offending others, you’re not being true to yourself.” Ye Chen said.

“Ha, I must do things according to your will to be correct, you’re just full of yourself.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “Right, I am full of myself. What does a brat who knows nothing have any right to preach to you.”

“Good that you know, you’re not even older than me, yet you love playing the teacher. Have you figured out your own life yet?”

“Right, I haven’t. You’re right. I haven’t even fully figured myself out yet, so how can I have the right to judge others.” Ye Chen continued to tend to the fire.

Yu Qing sneered, looking like she won, and asked, “Don’t you want to know who your father really is?”

“I do want to know, but my mom said she would tell me after I turned eighteen.”

“Perhaps your father is a big villain, or else you are the result of your mother’s affair. Maybe your mother doesn’t even know who your father is.”

“Who talks like that! I say a few things about you, you don’t need to personally attack my mother like that!”

“I’m just speculating, you don’t need to take it to heart. You’re not the type to easily take things to heart, right? Don’t get so worked up.” Yu Qing feigned a laugh, thinking he was quite amusing.

“Fine, think what you want, say what you want, the sharper the better.”

“How can a mother not tell her own son who his father is, and even make her son take her last name.”

“Maybe my father has the same last name as my mom, Ye.”

“Heh, do you think that’s likely? There are so many surnames in this world, your mom just happened to run into someone with the same last name?” Yu Qing said.

“Why is that impossible!”

“Right, it is possible, but it’s more likely that your mom hates your dad a lot. Your mom doesn’t know who your dad is, so you took her surname. Perhaps your dad really ran off with someone.”

Ye Chen stared at her blankly, irritated, before tossing off. “I never imagined you had such a sharp tongue. Your words spill out like farts.”

“Hehe, I’m just speculating. Don’t take it to heart. Just let it go when you hear it. I believe you can do it. Don’t get worked up easily, be your true self.”

“You can be quite harsh.”

“Oh, now I’m the harsh one. Didn’t you say that it’s not easy for you to get angry! You can’t take just a couple of remarks.”

Ye Chen nodded and said, “Fine, if saying things that are not pleasant to hear can make you happy, go ahead. I won’t get angry, I won’t stoop to your level.”

“Don’t force yourself.” Guo Yuyun said.

“I’m not, don’t worry. As long as it can distract you from the pain in your foot, feel free to speak.” As he spoke, he even deliberately poked hard at her injured foot.

Yu Qing slapped him hard on the arm from the pain.

“It seems like we’re destined not to get along. We should keep a distance, it’s safer that way, otherwise, we might argue every day.”

“Who wants to get along with you? I’ve known it for a long time, if I stay with you for too long, I’ll become a country bumpkin myself.”

“Fine, you win.”

“What are you angry about!”

“I regret coming down here. I shouldn’t have come down. I should have let you stay here with public monkeys.”

Yu Qing continued to roast by the fire. There was only a small crack in the entrance of the cave where she could see the stars in the sky.

“Go to sleep earlier once you’re satisfied, get a good rest.” Ye Chen said.

“Don’t they all think we’re dead?”

“That’s possible.” Ye Chen murmured, “I’m dumb, I’m really asking for trouble. Either my head’s full of water, or why else would I come down here.”

Yu Qing suddenly disdainfully asked, “You don’t have any strange habits at night, do you?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was silent for a moment before saying, “I occasionally sleepwalk. Be careful then. You need to understand if it happens.”

Yu Qing glared at him.

“Really, this is what my mother told me, I didn’t even know.”

“Did you sleepwalk into your mother’s room?”

“You really have a vivid imagination.” He said, irritated, before turning away.
