Chapter 1: A Fragrant Morning!

  "Chen Dasheng, you bastard!"

  A shrill scream of a woman pierced the clear morning sky in a certain community of Jinma, Huaxia Rongcheng, startling the residents from their dreams. The sparrows perched on the palm trees in the community were also frightened and flew about wildly.

  What a lovely morning!

  Chen Daxing woke up from his hangover to the scent of a strange fragrance, and in front of him was a familiar yet beautiful face.

  The table by the door was filled with empty beer bottles, the quilt had fallen to the floor, and stockings, underwear, and clothes were scattered all over the place. And in his arms was Liu Yunshi, the beautiful woman who shared a rental house with him.

  Proud twin peaks tightly attached to Chen Dashi's arm, not a single thread on his body, skin that could be blown or pierced, perfectly presented in front of Chen Dashi, Chen Dashi almost thought he was dreaming.

  Just as Chen Daxing quietly slipped out of bed, put on his clothes and was about to escape from this place before Liu Yunshi woke up, Liu Yunshi suddenly woke up and reacted so violently.

  Rumble!

  A flurry of footsteps, Chen Dasheng almost rolled down the stairs, still holding his overcoat in his hand, looking extremely flustered, as if he had been caught having an affair.

  "Bang!"

  A gust of wind on his head, Chen Daxing suddenly lifted his head to take a look, a flower pot fell from the second floor, and he quickly dodged to the side. The flower pot just hit the edge of Chen Daxing's foot.

  "You murderer!"

  Lifting her head, Liu Yunshi was standing on the second floor balcony, a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be staring at him with a fierce gaze. The palm of his right hand was scratched by the shards of the flower pot that had been splashed up, leaving a long gash, Chen Daxing couldn't help but let out a loud roar, if he had dodged any slower, wouldn't he have been split open?

  "Bastard, stop right there! If you run again, you're not a man!" Liu Yunshi's jade-like face turned black as if it was about to drip with ink, one hand pointing at Chen Dasheng and scolding loudly, while the other hand grabbed another flower pot.

  "Am I still not a man? Dare to throw another one and try!" Chen Dasheng was somewhat angry, so he didn't run away, standing downstairs and confronting Liu Yunshi.

  "You, you wait for me!"

  Liu Yunshi glared fiercely at Chen Dasheng, put the flower pot on the balcony and immediately turned around and disappeared from the balcony.

  "Just wait and see who's afraid of whom!" Chen Dabai couldn't help but spit, and with a strong kick, he kicked the remains in the flower pot.

  Another sudden footsteps, Liu Yunshi rushed out of the corridor, Chen Dajun had not yet reacted, was caught by Liu Yunshi's tight grip on his collar.

  "What's wrong?" Looking at Liu Yunshi's cannibalistic gaze, Chen Dasheng couldn't help but feel a chill.

  Liu Yunshi gritted her teeth and interrogated, "Chen Dasheng, what did you do to me last night?"

  "You, you let go first, okay? Many people are watching!" Countless eyes shot out from the residential building, and many aunties were leaning on the windowsill to watch. Chen Dabing suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, and his expression was a bit flustered.

  Grabbing Liu Yunshi's hand and pulling it, but unable to pull it off, Chen Dasheng suddenly cried with a sad face, "Sister, I'm innocent, we were all drunk last night, okay?"

  "Are you drunk? Your drinking capacity is so good, I think you're pretending to be drunk and taking advantage of me. You beast! Quickly tell me what did you do to me last night?" Liu Yunshi grasped Chen Dasheng's clothes tightly and interrogated him relentlessly.

  Chen Dasheng hastily said, "What kind of person I, Chen Dasheng, am, aren't you clear about that yourself? Besides, whether or not I've done something, can't you sense it for yourself?"

  "I, I..." Liu Yunshi suddenly became somewhat indignant, her words even stuttering, "I'm drunk, how can I have feelings?"

  Chen Dashi suddenly rolled his eyes, and with a solemn expression, he raised his hand and said, "I swear, I was really drunk last night. Although I don't know how I ended up on your bed, I guarantee that I didn't touch you!"

  "I don't believe it!" Liu Yunshi wouldn't believe it, her clothes and pants were all stripped off, what would happen if nothing was done? They say that after drinking, one becomes promiscuous. Faced with such a beautiful woman as herself, how could Chen Dashi resist?

  Chen Dasheng said directly, "I don't care whether you believe it or not, anyway I do. When I woke up this morning, I was still standing tall. If you don't believe me, go home and check for yourself."

  "You..." Liu Yun's pretty face turned red, but she couldn't say a word.

  "Let me go!"

  "I won't let go!"

  "Are you going to let it go?"

  "I won't let go, if you're capable, come and hit me! There are so many people watching here!" Liu Yunshi grasped Chen Dasheng tightly, her expression as if she had caught a pervert on the bus. The floor was already filled with not-so-innocent laughter.

  "Sister, how dare I hit you? Why don't we go back and review what happened last night again!" Seeing Liu Yunshi was not letting up, Chen Dasheng decided to play dumb and casually put his arm around Liu Yunshi's waist.

  Liu Yunshi's face suddenly changed color, frightened and shouted, as if she had stepped on a cockroach, instantly letting go of Chen Dasheng and jumping back two steps.

  Chen Dasheng couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat, if he had known it was this easy, he would have used this trick a long time ago. Now that he had escaped, he quickly turned his head and ran, he didn't want to be laughed at here, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs, who would see him every time they looked up or down, how could he still show his face in this neighborhood?

  Liu Yunshi reacted and saw that Chen Dasheng had already run to the entrance of the community, and she stomped her feet hard, pointing at Chen Dasheng and shouting loudly, "Chen Dasheng, you bastard, you dare to do it but not admit it, you deserve to be dumped by your girlfriend! Get out, don't come back!"

  The sharp voice echoed in the neighborhood for a long time, Chen Daxing's figure had disappeared. It seemed that only now did she realize that there were many people watching from the surrounding buildings. Liu Yunshi's facial expression changed constantly, looking very vivid. She quickly covered her face and ran into the corridor as if escaping.

  Liu Yunshi was really furious today, she and Chen Dasheng were both students of Chengdu University of Technology, only Liu Yunshi was one grade higher than Chen Dasheng, Chen Dasheng was a junior, while Liu Yunshi was a senior.

  It was a coincidence that Liu Yunshi and Chen Dasheng became roommates. Chen Dasheng didn't look particularly impressive, although he had a good figure and wasn't short at 1.76 meters. He had an honest face, which made Liu Yunshi feel safe living with him. In fact, Chen Dasheng proved to be quite honest during their six months of cohabitation, without any behavior that crossed the line.

  A few days ago, Chen Daxing was dumped by his girlfriend and was feeling very down. Liu Yunshi couldn't bear to see him like that, so she kindly comforted him. Last night, she accompanied Chen Daxing in a big drinking session, but unexpectedly, he actually ran to her bed!

  ——

  Under the sinister and lecherous gaze of the old gatekeeper, Chen Dasheng hastily left the residential area. Looking at the cars coming and going on the street, he suddenly felt uncertain about where to go.

  Liu Yunshi's last sentence deeply hurt himself. A week ago, his girlfriend of five years suddenly broke up with him and left him with the reason: "Being with you will make me suffer in the future!"

  Five years, from the second year of high school, Chen Dasheng poured in five years of emotions, and it ended with just a simple sentence. Chen Dasheng was hurt not only emotionally but also his self-esteem!

  "Women? Are you kidding me with this behavior?" Chen Dabai smoothed out his clothes, and in the end, it all boiled down to one thing: he was just a poor guy, who would be with him if he had no money?

  "Spicy and numb next door, isn't it a woman? Wait until I'm successful, I'll use money to kill you!" After thinking for a moment, Chen Dabai gritted his teeth and walked towards the bus stop, getting directly on the 101 bus.

  ——

  No. 101 bus route direction, Wenshu Temple.

  Manjusri Temple is a major scenic spot in Chengdu, Chen Daxing went to Manjusri Temple not because he was disillusioned with the world and wanted to become a monk, but because his sister was there.

  Chen Dasheng is 21 years old this year. His sister's name is Chen Xiaoli, who is eight years older than Chen Dasheng and is the only relative of Chen Dasheng in this world.

  Although they are in the same city, Chen Dajie rarely comes to find this sister, all because of his own sister is a bit alternative.

  Almost thirty-year-old Chen Xiaoli has not married yet, and she doesn't even have a suitor, because she has a special occupation - a spirit medium.

  To put it bluntly, it's feudal superstition, cheating and deception. The two siblings were originally from the countryside. Chen Dashi was born not long ago, his mother passed away due to illness. When he was five years old, his father went out to work, a steel bar fell from the construction site, and the lives of the two siblings fell into darkness.

  Chen Xiaoli relied on the deceptive skills he learned from a blind swindler in the village to lead Chen Dasheng into a life of deception and cheating, painstakingly pulling Chen Dasheng along until he was admitted to university. Then Chen Xiaoli followed him to Chengdu, renting a courtyard next to Wenshu Monastery, opening a Sisters' Workshop, gathering a group of young girls, and continuing to peddle her feudal superstitions.

  For his own sister, Chen Dabing had some resistance in his heart. Although Chen Xiaoli worked hard to raise him up, the education he received since childhood told him that the money Chen Xiaoli earned was not a legitimate source of income, and every time he used a penny, he felt like burning his hand.

  Sitting on the bus, Chen Dasheng's heart was very confused. Rongcheng University of Science and Technology and Wenshu Temple are not far away, but in the three years since he came to Rongcheng, Chen Dasheng had been to Sister Fang's place only a handful of times.

  "Sigh, I wonder how she's doing now!"

  Although he had some reservations about his sister's profession in his heart, Chen Daxing was very clear that he didn't have the qualifications to look down on his own sister. Chen Xiaoli would deposit money into his account on time every month, and he never worried about money. If it weren't for his sister, he would have died more than a decade ago and wouldn't be alive today.

  "Wenshu Yuan Station has arrived..."

  The bus stopped in front of the station, and Chen Dasheng got off the bus amidst a flurry of thoughts. As expected, when he had nowhere to go, the first person he thought of was still his closest relative.
