Mr. Yuan is Always Unhappy - Chap 95 END
CH95 – EXTRA: 2019 MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL
It was the Mid-autumn Festival again.
To prevent his friends from setting up a surprise party and giving him presents, Zheng QiuYang announced bright and early in his group chat: I’m not accepting presents this year, nor conducting any kind of celebratory events. Thank you everyone for the well wishes that you guys sent at midnight. Happy holidays.
This was because he’s 35 now. Everyone knew that he wasn’t happy with mentioning his age anymore. Very understandable.
Wang Chao was the only person unsympathetic and commented: [What’s the matter? Disgusted with yourself for being old now? My middle-aged ol’buddy?]
Seething in fury, Zheng QiuYang ignored him and blacklisted him with a flick of his hand.
Wang Chao even felt mistreated because of this and said to Xie ZhuXing: “Just look at how petty Zheng QiuYang is.”
Xie ZhuXing replied sarcastically: “And you’re magnanimous? How come I don’t see you calling your big brother old to his face? You wouldn’t even dare to breathe loudly in front of him.”
Wang Chao: “Why wouldn’t I dare! I’m definitely very magnanimous! My big brother is also magnanimous!”
Xie ZhuXing: “Come come come, give big brother a call and tell him he’s old. You can call right now.”
Wang Chao was put on the spot and wanted to keep his dignity. Therefore, he braced himself to give Wang Qi a phone call.
Wang Qi: “What?”
Wang Chao: “Big brother, you’re ol……” The word old refused to leave his mouth.
Wang Chao: “You’re awesome damn hahahahaha, hahahaha.”
Wang Qi: “???”
Wang Chao: “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Love you. Bye bye.”
As soon as he hung up the phone, he received Xie ZhuXing’s ridicule: “Group leader, so magnanimous!”
Wang Chao: “Alright alright alright. I yield alright? Just look at your annoying and vile villain-esque behavior.”
Xie ZhuXing attempted to persuade Wang Chao to conduct himself properly: “I’m annoying? That lousy mouth of yours— Isn’t it because you know that QiuYang-dage wouldn’t lower himself to argue with the likes of you, so you let your mouth run loose, bullying the weak while terrified of the strong. Must you annoy everyone to feel satisfied with yourself?”
Wang Chao always has a fleeting moment of fun when he lets his mouth run, but always regrets it in the end. However, he still refused to step down: “Oh ho? You beat me everyday, but when have you seen me scared?”
Xie ZhuXing: “Don’t provoke me, I’m warning you. I just changed clothes. I have an event this afternoon.”
Wang Chao jumped up and down: “That’s exactly what I’m doing. Provoking you, provoking you, provoking you, what about it, what about it? Come hit me, I dare you, come hit me!”
Xie ZhuXing shot him a dangerous expression.
Around noon, Yuan Rui saw Zheng QiuYang’s group chat and Wang Chao’s comment.
He privately poked Wang Chao and asked tactfully: [What are you doing? Busy?]
Wang Chao: [Getting ready to sleep]
Yuan Rui: [Isn’t it a bit early for an afternoon nap?]
Wang Chao: [No, just had sex, tired.]
Yuan Rui thought to himself, Wah how shameless. Aren’t you going to explain further?
Yuan Rui: [It’s like this. In the future, don’t call QiuYang old anymore]
Wang Chao: [Oh]
Wang Chao: [I’m sorry]
Yuan Rui was surprised to see him behave so well and thought to himself, Ai forget it. They were all friends.
Wang Chao: [Who hasn’t reached old age. Tell your husband to be more open-minded]
Yuan Rui also blacklisted Wang Chao with a flick of his hand.
However, the double blacklist didn’t actually resolve the hatred.
Zheng QiuYang sat on the rug in front of the sofa and faced the Ipad that’s supported on the coffee table, cursing Wang XiaoSan.
Yuan Rui, who was video chatting with him, can only console him: “Don’t lower yourself to Wang Chao’s level. Hasn’t he always been the annoying kind of guy?”
Zheng QiuYang: “Exactly! I’d like to ask, who in this world isn’t annoyed with him? As long as they insult Wang Chao, we’re good friends! In a bit, I’m going to his house to give him a beating!”
Yuan Rui: “Umm…… beating people up is wrong.”
He thought to himself, Actually sometimes Wang Chao was fine. He’s really not tha—t annoying. But he couldn’t say that. If he said it right now, Zheng QiuYang would get angrier.
Zheng QiuYang rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his palms: “Then I’ll buy off some marketing accounts online to set up a collab. First they can slander him for doing plastic surgery and faking his height, and then start a rumor about Xie ZhuXing and some female celebrity acting suggestively together, and……”
Greatly alarmed, Yuan Rui hastily stopped him: “Don’t, don’t, don’t. Marketing is very expensive. Don’t spend money randomly…… You should just go to his house and give him a beating. He gets beat up everyday anyways. He should be used to it.”
Zheng QiuYang: “…….”
Yuan Rui: “Okay okay. I already listened to you and blacklisted him. Don’t be angry anymore.”
Zheng QiuYang said in dissatisfaction: “What? Are you saying if I didn’t make you blacklist him, you’d actually be reluctant to do so?”
Yuan Rui said: “Of course. He often sends photos that he takes secretly of Xiao Xie in the group chat. I can’t see them after blacklisting him.”
Zheng QiuYang: “……”
Yuan Rui suddenly said excitedly: “Don’t you think Xiao Xie is really too handsome?! I saw the trailer for his new movie. His handsomeness was practically explosive! He really looks younger and younger every year, not looking like a 27 years old at all. Call him 17 and I’d believe it! When it premieres, I want to reserve all the seats when I go watch it. Do you want to go? I’ll bring you.”
Zheng QiuYang: “I’m not going! Goodbye!”
Stabbed in the heart by a knife, he hung up the video call and huffily waited for Yuan Rui to call him back and coax him happy.
However, on the other side, the production team kept on urging Yuan Rui to get ready to film.
Zheng QiuYang only received a hastily sent message from Yuan Rui: [I’ll bring you presents when I come back in a few days. Smooches]
The birthday boy was extremely depressed. He grabbed Yuan Rui’s velvet plush doll and gave it a beating. Then he took off the doll’s overalls and put it back on again. Repeating the motion again, in the end, he put the clothes back on the same as before.
This doll was a new one. He had accidentally broken a leg on the old one while playing with it. Meanwhile, this was the last one Li LingLing found from the company’s storage room. It was already out of production.
Originally, it should have been a happy Mid-Autumn Festival for the family. However, Yuan Rui went out of town to work. His ol’mum went out of town for a vacation, leaving behind the lonely Zheng QiuYang, who can only play together with a rag doll. How could he not QQQ?
Before going to sleep alone, the sensitive middle-aged boy, Zheng QiuYang, lit up some aromatic candles inside the room that helped slightly with falling asleep. Then he read a bit of the Detective Conan manga that Yuan Rui had placed in the bookshelf at the head of the bed.
11:59 at night.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was about to pass. Zheng QiuYang closed the bedside lamp and got ready to sleep. Yuan Rui had placed the candle snuffer and cover somewhere. Zheng QiuYang couldn’t find them so he decided to blow the candle out.
11:59:59.
Whoosh— When the candle was blown out and extinguished, at the same time, the hand of the clock pointed to 12.
Huh? There seemed to be some kind of weird sound?
Zheng QiuYang opened the light again and unexpectedly discovered that next to the candle on the table, a letter randomly appeared.
Feeling chills and goosebumps, he looked around in the room. It didn’t look like anyone entered. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the letter and opened it. He saw this written on the paper:
“To my distant friends, Mr. Zheng QiuYang and Mr. Yuan Rui: Seeing this letter is like seeing me!
Time has really flown by. Do you still remember last Mid-Autumn festival, you guys came to my house, Yuan Rui gave high praise towards my wife’s extraordinary beauty, and also became interested in my family’s washing machine?
Hahahaha, you guys must remember now. I am that super super handsome Jian NingChuan!
After parting ways last year, I really wanted to see you guys again. Therefore, I tried to climb into the washing machine myself many times. I also bought all sorts of different transmigration talismans on TaoBao. However, no matter what I did, I couldn’t transmigrate over there. My wife also tried as well. It didn’t work for him either. Who knows if a letter will work or not……”
Zheng QiuYang: !!!
He closed the letter and swiftly gave Yuan Rui a call.
Yuan Rui, who just finished work: “Hello? How come you’re still not asleep?”
Zheng QiuYang: “All done? Open video call. Let me show you something nice.”
Yuan Rui became awkward: “Ah? I just saw it yesterday. Can we rest for a day today? Always like this… is not good for your body.”
Zheng QiuYang: “I’m not talking about that! What are you thinking about all day in that little head of yours?”
Yuan Rui instantly became disappointed: “Oh……It’s not that? Fine. Then what are you talking about?”
A few moments later, Yuan Rui, on the other side of the video call: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It’s that……that……”
Zheng QiuYang: “Exactly that!”
Yuan Rui calmed down: “How could it be that? How did it get here? It’s not a prank right?”
Zheng QiuYang: “Did you tell anyone about the washing machine transmigration thing? I didn’t.”
Yuan Rui: “I also didn’t. We promised each other not to tell others. It’s not like I’m Fang ShiQing.”
Zheng QiuYang: “Since no one else knew about this, then it’s not a prank. I think it’s very likely written by them.”
Yuan Rui: “This is really too magical!”
The two people didn’t understand the mysteriousness involved here, but they agreed that the letter had really arrived from the other world and that it was written personally by Jian NingChuan, whom they had the fortune of meeting once last year.
Zheng QiuYang recited the letter for Yuan Rui to hear. The second half of the letter wrote:
“A few days ago, I managed to buy the published copy of your original book. The book had changed your relationship into roommates, which caused the already very silly novel to become even more silly 23333
My wife and I are still the same, living together happy and sweet. We’ve been doing very outstandingly in our respective jobs as well. I don’t know how the two of you have been lately?
I’ve really been wanting to see you guys again. In order to find a way to meet with you guys again, I went to read a bunch of transmigration novels. The novels were very good, but the theories were excessively complicated. The different authors never discussed amongst each other, so they each had their own theories. I really couldn’t understand them and didn’t know who to believe.
My wife is illiterate so he’s even less reliable.
I had no choice but to consult a microbiologist that I know. He said this wasn’t part of his research. However, after he listened to my descriptions, he believes that you guys had accidentally opened a wormhole to our parallel world. The power of transmigration is in your hands. If you guys want to come over, it’s most likely possible, but we can only quietly await your arrival.
Here, I must add my wife’s strong willed opinion: He actually suspects that the scientist wants to hoodwink you guys to come over so he can capture you guys, cut you guys up like specimens, and study you guys for research??? (Isn’t my wife so cute, too cute, oh my wife hahahahahahahahaha!)
Finally, if you guys can receive this written letter and have the time to talk, I welcome you guys to transmigrate over here again. I’m very free in the upcoming days.
Actually, I have a very annoying dad. He just got married recently so he moved to live here in Beijing. Whenever he’s not busy, he tries to control everything left and right, making my life so so boring. I hope you guys can come over quickly to play with me.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival sincerely,
Jian NingChuan, so handsome I broke the Heavens, wrote this 2019.9.13”
Yuan Rui: “Wah……”
Zheng QiuYang: “Have any opinions after reading this?”
Yuan Rui: “It’s already been a year and that washing machine in his house still hasn’t lowered in price.”
Zheng QiuYang: “……”
Yuan Rui utilized the wisdom of a first prize winner of the grade school Olympiad and a Detective Conan reader of many years and said: “It looks like blowing out candles on your birthday at midnight activates the transmigration between the two parallel worlds to some extent. Perhaps transmigration for them isn’t impossible. It’s just that when we blew out the candle on our side, there was only a letter inside the washing machine in their home, not a person.”
Zheng QiuYang: “Thus the letter arrived, but not the person.”
Yuan Rui: “Do you want to go play? We might have to wait until next year’s Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Zheng QiuYang tossed the letter and said without much concern: “We can discuss it next year.”
Yuan Rui was very concerned: “But that scientist… He wouldn’t really try to capture us for research right? Usually in this kind of transmigration stories, there’s always a villain. We can’t trust in Xiao Jian’s judgment. I feel like he’s undoubtedly a naïve idiot. The shine in Mr. Huo’s eyes under his glasses, now that’s the light of intelligence and wisdom. Not to mention, Mr. Huo is very handsome, so handsome that he… he can really be described as ‘so handsome he broke the Heavens’.”
Zheng QiuYang: “……”
Yuan Rui suddenly thought of something else and said: “You should stop feeling frustrated over your age. What’s 35? Mr.Huo was born in 81. Just look at him. Super confident, super attractive! Very charming! Alright?!”
Zheng QiuYang was always being stabbed in the heart, always not happy.
Deeply hurt, he said: “I’ll go blow the candle right now and switch places with that Mr. Huo for you, satisfied?”
Yuan Rui laughed instead: “Stop playing around, Xiao Jian won’t like you.”
Zheng QiuYang became furious: “Am I so bad compared to others? Everyone is always more handsome than me, better than me!”
Yuan Rui: “…….”
Zheng QiuYang finally couldn’t resist complaining: “I can still be counted as young and good-looking right now, yet you’re smitten with other people everyday. In the future, when I get older and older, will I still have a place in your heart?”
Yuan Rui knew that Zheng QiuYang cared about his age, but he never imagined that it’d be about this: “Handsome is only a very superficial adjective. Looking at handsome men is done with the eyes only; who uses the heart? No matter how many handsome men I see, it wouldn’t affect your place in my heart. Not to mention, in my heart you’re always the most handsome. What Xiao Xie, Mr. Huo? They can’t even compare to a smidge of your handsomeness. I’m such a face-con, of course I chose you, who’s the most handsome. Don’t randomly get jealous now. Love you, smooches.”
On the other side, he created hearts with his hands in all sorts of manners. After doing it one handed, he made a heart in front of his chest, and then raised both arms to make a heart over his head.
Zheng QiuYang’s fur was smoothed by Yuan Rui’s rainbow flattery. Anger pacified, he still wanted to act unreasonable: “No, I’m definitely going to eat that vinegar. In our published book, I was already turned into your roommate, what the hell? Now it’s the holidays and my birthday, am I not allowed to eat vinegar?”
Yuan Rui: “Alright alright alright, ok ok ok. Don’t get angry. My roommate, I love you.”
Zheng QiuYang sat up and raised the price: “Show me something nice and I’ll forgive you.”
Wang Chao, who slept from midday to midnight, finally woke up and discovered that he had been blacklisted. Displeased, he shook his roommate awake and said: “Look! Yuan Rui actually blacklisted daddy! How can the both of them be so petty!”
Xie ZhuXing had to go out and work in the afternoon. He just fell asleep after returning not long ago, yet now, he couldn’t sleep despite being drowsy. He said: “Isn’t that because of your mouth, daddy. Both witty and humorous, and not to mention very sweet. LiuXing custard mooncakes are not even worth mentioning before you. You’re really such a little sweet pastry.”
With a face of shock and terror, Wang Chao said: “Xie ZhuXing? Do you have a fever or are you on your menstrual period? What nonsense are you talking about?”
Xie ZhuXing gave him the middle finger: “Such a smart daddy, you can even tell when I’m talking nonsense.”
Wang Chao: “……WuRen isn’t sweet enough, you think I’m LiuXing?”
He said eagerly: “Enough sleeping! Come have a fight with me!”
Xie ZhuXing thought briefly and said: “Come, the full moon night is perfect, it’d be a waste to not fight.”
The author has something to say: I wish everyone and your families happiness. Love your roommates, love your life. Drink more hot water, spend less money. May your families be reunited.
The translator also has something to say: This is the last chapter. Thank you for reading this novel. I hope you enjoyed it!
