Book 3: Chapter 22: My Less-Than-a-Month-Old Elder Cousin
“That…who knew something would suddenly fall from above? Furthermore, it was just half a body with an upside-down face! That ghost was extremely terrifying, alright?!”
“…Never mind, we got chased out already, anyway. Let’s head to the water park, then. This time, Sirin did the best. I’ll buy you ice cream later.”
“Thank you, Elder Brother!” Sirin felt thrilled about being praised by Chen Heng.
“This is not fair,” Jeanne d’Arc objected.
“Exactly!” Raven objected too.
“What’s wrong? Am I wrong?”
“You were holding Sirin the whole time in the haunted house. What would she be afraid of?”
“So, are you saying you would not be afraid if I held you?” Chen Heng gave the arguing Jeanne d’Arc a look of contempt.
“What does that look mean? Well, let’s go in again, and I’ll be the one holding you this time. Let’s see if I’ll be afraid or not!” Jeanne d’Arc felt angry at seeing Chen Heng’s contemptuous look.
“Save it. They already blacklisted us. We can’t enter again anytime soon. Furthermore, Sirin is only 14. How old are you now?”
Chen Heng had just finished speaking when he noticed something off. Strictly speaking, Jeanne d’Arc was much younger than Sirin, not even a month old.
However, Jeanne d’Arc did not think about it this way—rather, she never thought about it, so she could not refute him. Instead, she flung her hair out and turned her head in a pique.
“Alright, alright, let’s go to the water park. It is hot already, anyway.” Raven wanted to gloss over this matter quickly. The best would be to beat this memory out of Chen Heng, but that was not very realistic. She could only change the topic.
“Alright, alright, alright. Jeanne d’Arc, sorry. I went too far. Let’s rush over to the water park, then. Show me your awesome swimsuit.”
“That’s more like it. Let me tell you, my swimsuit is super awesome. You have good judgment.”
Actually, Chen Heng did not think Jeanne d’Arc’s swimsuit was awesome or anything like that. He even found it strange, unable to comprehend her thoughts.
However, the strange swimsuit could not mess up Jeanne d’Arc’s beauty. When she wore it, she still looked pretty.
Vast Sea City Amusement Park had a passageway to Vast Sea City Water Park. One could use it with the combo ticket. However, the combo ticket did not allow one to enter the Vast Sea City Water Park from the main entrance. If one left Vast Sea City Amusement Park first, one would have to buy another ticket for Vast Sea City Water Park.
[Author Note: This actually happened to me.]
Since their swimsuits and footwear were in Raven’s spatial storage, they found a fairly isolated area to take everything out before entering the water park.
After entering the water park, Chen Heng bought four swimming goggles and four waterproof bags (the kind that could be hung from the neck) from a stall. They could not leave their cell phones in the spatial storage. Otherwise, they would not receive any urgent messages.
There were stores outside the water park that sold these things cheaper. However, Chen Heng had not wanted to stop the car to buy them outside.
After Chen Heng rented four lockers, they split up and arranged to meet at the same place after ten minutes.
Then Chen Heng saw Duan Lin, who had already changed, in the changing room. Duan Lin was the student that he met when searching for System 10086.
“Hey! Ah Heng! You are here too!”
“Lin`zi? Why are you here? Did you apply to review at home too?”
“You know me well. Chen Heng, you too?”
“So, you used the excuse of reviewing at home to accompany Su Ya to the water park?”
“That’s right. It’s hot now, and there aren’t many people. This is the best season for it. There will be more people after the college entrance exams.”
“Don’t you know what buckling down and studying is? Do you think you’re living up to the reason you gave for applying for leave?” Chen Heng ridiculed Duan Lin as he stripped.
“Aren’t you embarrassed to criticize me? Aren’t you in the water park too?” Duan Lin gave Chen Heng an extremely disdainful look. The pot calling the kettle black, was there a point to it? Furthermore, it was not certain yet who of them was the pot.
“Is that the same? I’m very confident about the college entrance exams.”
Chen Heng had three things to rely on. First, his studies were excellent in the first place, and he would already score pretty well. Second, he had the Absolute Precognition; how could he lose with such a massive advantage?
Finally, even if the questions changed slightly because of the butterfly effect and Chen Heng did not feel confident about the exam question, he still had a third reliance: the Dimension Administrators Association’s omnipotent store.
There was nothing he could not buy from the association’s store. If there was, it meant that he did not have enough points. He could even buy love, something intangible.
The association’s store truly did sell love. One could create a human with 1,000 points—a human who absolutely loved one and remained loyal without question. Furthermore, one could customize that human’s appearance. The only downside was the created human only had an ordinary person’s physique. For that created person to cultivate, one had to spend points to strengthen that created human or give that created human a cultivation technique, like Chen Heng had done with Sirin.
However, Chen Heng was not interested in such a thing.
“Haha! Sorry, I am very confident about the college entrance exams too. That’s not right. I recall that Mo Qingtong did not apply for leave to review at home. You come clean. Who did you bring to the water park? Are you two-timing?” Duan Lin shrewdly noticed the crux of the matter and started interrogating Chen Heng while holding him in an armlock.
“Damn! Let go! Others are watching!” Chen Heng reacted strongly to being in an armlock. After all, he was a straight male who preferred girls with fair skin and long legs. Furthermore, he had just taken off his clothes.
Duan Lin’s actions also attracted the attention of everyone in the men’s changing room.
“So, that is to say, I can do this if there is no one around? Serve this lord, then. This lord will not mistreat you. That’s not right. Back to proper matters. Speak! Who did you come with? I will decide whether to tell Mo Qingtong based on the situation.” Duan Lin released Chen Heng and returned to the main topic.
“Don’t you have anything better to do? Why tell Qingtong? It’s not like we are dating. Keep speaking like this, and I’ll sue you for slander.”
“Alright, alright, alright, I’ll take it as you said. Quick, tell me who you brought.”
“I brought my younger sister, Qingtong’s maid, and my younger-than-a-month-old elder cousin.”
“I know about your younger sister. Sirin, right? I can understand that. Also, I know about Qingtong’s maid; she has an excellent figure. However, what the heck do you mean by ‘younger-than-a-month-old elder cousin’?” Duan Lin could understand the first two. However, what did a younger-than-a-month-old elder cousin mean?
