Twelve Units of Sweetness: Chapter 32


Although Chen Yiran is a primary school student, he has his own Weibo. He usually uses it to share games and occasionally posts about his and Chen Zui’s daily life.

After he responded to a few people in the comments, some netizens took advantage of the opportunity to snoop on his profile and found some photos he posted. There are some photos of him and some of Chen Zui. Because some marketing accounts were made aware of this “illegitimate child’s” account, more and more people started to watch his Weibo.

Chen Yiran saw everyone flocking to his Weibo, he simply changed his profile bio to “Chen Zui’s nephew” and posted a pinned message.

Do A Good Deed Everyday: Chen Zui is my uncle, I also don’t have a rich mother. Stop talking nonsense.

After it was posted, some netizens quickly left a few comments. Chen Yiran chose a few to respond to.

“Are you the actual person??”

Do A Good Deed Everyday: Yes

“You clearly have a father but you have to call him uncle. So miserable.”

Do A Good Deed Everyday: Not as miserable as you people being led by the nose of these marketing accounts [smile]

“Why do you live with your uncle?”

Do A Good Deed Everyday: My parents passed away, and my grandparents don’t have time to take care of me. Only my uncle took me in [smile]

“I don’t believe you are a primary school student. You sound too mature. Can a primary school student be this skilled on Weibo?”

Do A Good Deed Everyday: Oh really? Not only am I good on Weibo but I am skilled in playing games. [smile]

“Hahaha primary school students are all big bosses now! I always get scolded by them when playing games _(:з∠)_”

Chen Yiran didn’t reply to this message but just gave it a thumbs up.

A screenshot of Chen Yiran’s Weibo was reposted by some marketing accounts. Someone looked through all of his posts and found that he had been calling Chen Zui uncle from the very beginning, which proved what he said.

His Weibo became very popular and his mature and witty remarks attracted many netizens. Many of Chen Zui’s female fans asked if he lacked an aunt.

Chen Zui had been busily working in the station the entire day so he didn’t know what Chen Yiran was doing online. He only found out about it when Deng Liyang, who had been idling at home, told him. When Chen Zui came home, Chen Yiran was still in his room scrolling through the comments. Chen Zui looked at him from the door for a while and asked, “Have you finished your homework?”

The sudden sound frightened Chen Yiran who almost dropped his phone. He looked back at Chen Zui and quickly jumped up from his chair, “Uncle, when did you come back? Why didn’t you make any sound?”

Chen Zui smiled, “You are so absorbed in playing on Weibo, how could you hear any sound?”

“...Hahaha.” Chen Yiran wanted to hide his phone but it will be no use. Chen Zui also has his phone so when he checks Weibo, he will know what good things he has been up to.

….He really thinks he did a good thing.

“Uncle, I only did this because I was afraid they would damage your reputation. You finally got together Sister Tiantian. How bad would it be if there were any misunderstandings because of this matter!” Chen ZUi hurriedly brought out Zhen Tian. Sister Tiantian is definitely a talisman against her uncle, very effective.

Chen Zui pursed his lips and finally said, “From now on, don’t care about those things on the internet. I know you want to help me clarify but the adults will take care of things themselves. You do what children should do.”

“Oh.” Chen Yiran weakly asked, “What should children do?”

“Do your homework.”

Chen Yiran, “.....”

Why did he even ask? :)

Chen Zui came back late today, so he made two casual dishes and asked Chen Yiran to come out for dinner. Chen Yiran picked up the rice in the bowl, but he still couldn't let go of the Weibo matter, "Uncle, will this incident affect your new program?"

“No, you should worry about whether this incident will affect your studies.”

Chen Yiran, “.....”

He took another spoonful of food, “What about Sisten Tiantian and her family? They don’t have any misunderstandings right?”

"No, I think you're insulting their IQ by asking like this." After Chen Zui finished speaking, he paused, looked at Chen Yiran, and said, "But next time I will find a time to take you to meet her family."

"Ah?" Although Chen Yiran was a little surprised, he quickly figured out the reason. If he lives with Sister Tiantian and uncle after they get married, Sister Tiantian's parents will definitely want to meet him. "Okay, but next week is our school retreat."

When he mentioned this, Chen Zui realized that he almost forgot about it, "So soon?"

The campus retreat is for the children to exercise their self-care ability in life. It is specially set up once a semester. It will encourage everyone to stay together away from parental care as they live and study alone for a week. It is a rare learning experience for children as well as a rare stress-free period for parents.

"Then let's make an appointment after you come back." This matter is not urgent.

"En." Chen Yiran nodded and looked at him again, "Uncle, since I’m not going to be home for a week, are you going to invite Sister Tiantian over?”

Chen Zui’s chopsticks paused and raised his eyes to him, “Where did you learn this?”

"Do you still need to learn this? This is a man's nature!"

"Oh, is that so?" Chen Zui's eyes were much sharper than before. Chen Yiran was so frightened that he quickly shut up and bowed his head to eat.

The dinner table became quiet, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks was heard. Chen Zui casually picked up a dish with his chopsticks, and his mind was unable to stop circling around Chen Yiran’s proposal.

He had to admit, he was tempted.

Before going to bed, Chen Zui leaned on the headboard and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sent a message to Zhen Tian, "Can we meet tomorrow?"

Zhen Tian was listening to Zhu Ling ramble about her handsome client. As soon as she saw Chen Zui’s message, she interrupted Zhu Ling, "Wait a minute, I'll get back to you."

“...” Zhu Ling swallowed the words that were about to be said.

Zhen Tian read his message and replied, “Yes. ^_^”

Chen Zui: Can you come to the station during lunchtime? I don’t have a lot of time off.

Zhen Tian knew that he was very busy preparing for the new program these days, and because Deng Liyang is still on sick leave, Chen Zui is still taking turns to substitute for the noon news. Thinking about it, she also felt very sorry for him.

Zhen Tian: En, I will go to the station to find you ^_^

Zhen Tian: Senior, rest early! Stop playing with your phone and go to sleep

Chen Zui: Why do you still call me senior?

Zhen Tian didn't expect him to suddenly care about this, and she didn't know how to answer him.

Zhen Tian: Then what do you want me to call you?

Chen Zui: Something more intimate

Zhen Tian: “....”

She can’t say it out loud! She can’t even type it!

Seeing that she suddenly fell silent, Chen Zui couldn't help but smile, "I won't tease you anymore. I'm going to sleep, good night."

He sent voice a voice message. Zhen Tian's store was quite noisy so even when she turned the volume to the max, she still felt that it was not clear enough. Forget it, she will listen to it when she goes home.

She also sent Chen Zui a good night emoji before putting down the phone with a smile.

"People in love are really scary." Zhu Ling sighed from the bottom of her heart, "I only drank half the booze and when I looked up, I see the boss standing there with a mobile phone and laughing. It’s unbearable."

Ah Zhong also felt the same way. His boss told him that he might not find a boyfriend for the rest of his life, but in the blink of an eye, she became a woman giggling at her mobile phone from time to time.

Zhen Tian didn’t take their jibe seriously, “Hmph, I get it, you guys are sour, single dogs.”

“Hey, if you guts go hang a sign on the door that says single dogs are not allowed!” Zhu Ling was furious. For a long time, she and Zhen Tian have been interdependent. Both of them couldn’t find a partner but Zhen Tian suddenly broke away!

“No.”

Seeing Zhen Tian’s happy appearance, Zhu Ling became even more furious, “Wasn’t Weibo going crazy today saying your senior has an illegitimate child with a rich woman?”

Zhen Tian pursed her lips, “Don’t try to sow discord. To tell you the truth, that rich woman is me.”

“Oh, you really know how to cover your face in gold.” Zhu Ling took a sip of beer and used her chopstick to pick a few side dishes on the table. “A lot of people posted on his nephew’s Weibo wanting to be his aunt.”

Zhen Tian also knows about this since she has been paying attention to this story closely. However, a magnanimous person like her would not lower herself to argue with these people who can only fantasize, “Didn’t you say that they could only have pictures of him whereas I can have the real person?”

Zhu Ling, “...”

After they have confirmed their relationship, they have become more unrestrained than before.

She looked at Zhen Tian pryingly, “How far have you and your senior gone?”

Zhen Tian’s face wasn’t that thick and was a little embarrassed, “What’s it to you? Drink your beer.”

“Ehhh, your face is red. Did you kiss already? Next step should be….hm?” Zhu Ling gave her a look that only adults would understand.

Zhen Tian clicked her tongue, “Next time, I will put up a sign that says you will be charged for talking to me!”

"Oh, don't say you don't want to." Zhu Ling saw too much with her eyes.

"..." Zhen Tian turned her head and said to Ah Zhong, "Ah Zhong, you come to take care of this customer."

Zhu Ling looked at her back and laughed.

The night passed, and the trending search that was so noisy the day before was also quite quiet. The Weibo hot search list has changed again, and everyone has new hot topics to follow. As a journalist, Chen Zui knew this kind of thing best, so he went off Weibo without feeling anything and went to work as usual.

When the regular meeting was held today, he noticed that Lu Fan didn’t show up. Tian Sen didn't explain much about it. He only said that Lu Fan had asked for a two-day personal leave, and his work had been assigned to others. When he said that, everyone just listened, and no one asked any more questions.

At noon, Zhen Tian came over to have lunch with Chen Zui, which naturally attracted the attention of his colleagues. Everyone has heard about that Anchor Chen is in a relationship but no one has seen what his legendary girlfriend looks like.

After receiving such a rare opportunity, everyone stretched their necks to take a look. Chen Zui didn’t let Zhen Tian stay for too long and dragged her to a nearby restaurant for lunch.

"Sorry, my colleagues are a bit nosy."As they sat down in the restaurant, Chen Zui handed Zhen Tian the menu. Zhen Tian took the menu, shook her head, and said, "It's okay. I quite like coming to your TV station. You know, I bumped into Wen Ke on the way to the restroom earlier! It's the actress who played the heroine in The Last Journey!"

Chen Zui smiled lightly, "En, I know. She has a program recording here today."

"Wow, she is super beautiful in person. I really envy you who work in the TV station and see stars every day."

Chen Zui asked, “Do you also chase stars?”

"Not really, but it's always exciting to see a star!" Zhen Tian said while returning the menu to the waiter.

Chen Zui looked at her, seemingly hesitating to speak. Zhen Tian took a sip of the water,"Do you have anything to say? Could it be related to what happened yesterday on Weibo? Did the station make things difficult for you ?”

"That's right, the hot search has been explained clearly, and it initially was nothing at all." Chen Zui also took a sip of the water to relieve the tension in his heart, "Chen Yiran is going to participate in a retreat next week. He will be away for a week, so we will find time to have dinner with your family after he comes back."

“Oh, what is this retreat?” Zhen Tian is very curious about this event Chen Yiran is going to participate.

“It’s organized by the school once every semester to cultivate the children’s sense of independence.”

“Pfft.” Zhen Tian couldn’t help but laugh, “I think he is already independent enough.”

…Yes, the problem with Chen Yiran is that he is too independent. Chen Zui also smiled and finally asked the question that had been kept in his heart, “Next week, do you have to come to my house to….hang?”

In the end, Chen Zui still replaced the word “live” with “hang.”
