Quick Transmigration: I’m Almost Dead
v2c25- Imprisoned (25/25)
Translated by gudetokki.

Ch25 - Classmate He, hope to see you again

Life after getting out of prison was just one word, hardship.

Chen You didn’t go to find Dong-zi and lao-Yu. He was a person who was going to leave, it was not good to still be sticky with them.

He was a person who did not like to make a parting complicated.

As long as one still breathed, not to mention human, little dogs also had to eat, drink and poop. Left without a choice, Chen You was depressed for a while then ran to the construction site to move bricks.

After the wind and sunshine, he turned black, his hands became rough, and felt his back stooping.

"It turns out that moving bricks is so hard."

Chen You took off his dirty gloves and sat down on the ground without looking at them, tired like a dead dog, "Dad āi, you old man lied to me."

Messy hair and dirty face every day, not to mention hands, even the nose was full of dust that you had to pick out for half the day after you got off from work. It’s really not a human life.

Chen You took off his sneakers and poured the sand on the ground. He also didn’t know how He Siyang was and if he was doing well inside.

"Xiao Fei gē."

A white dress appeared in front of Chen You. She was the labor contractor’s daughter who was interested in Chen You, everyone on the construction site could see it.

They could also see that the contractor could not accept someone who was just good-looking and had even been in prison to be in relation with his daughter.

Chen You continued to pour out sand, sister, hurry up and go, I really cannot lose this job.

The white dress said, "How did your hand got injured?"

She crouched down, regardless of getting her dress dirty, and was going to touch it.

Chen You took his arm away, coldly and with a straight face, "It’s nothing."

The white dress wanted to cry.

Chen You also wanted to cry. Sister, why don’t you listen to your mom and dad? Why are you running around blindly?

He thought for a moment and said, "I have someone I like."

"Impossible!" The white dress was agitated, "I’d asked, Uncle Xiang and them have never seen anyone come to find you, and never heard you mention your family."

Chen You said, "He’s in prison."

The face of the white dress changed and changed again, and the tears fell, aggrieved and pitiful.

Chen You hurriedly went to touch his pocket and found a crumpled ball of toilet paper. Forget it, the girl must disdain it.

But he was a big brother, so he smoothed it out and handed it over. As a result, it was grabbed by the girl and thrown aside.

Chen You sighed, you can throw it, but why throw it down ah? Gē has to borrow again to do number two later.

Before the white dress left, she said that she hated Brother Fei very much.

Chen You pulled his mouth, stood up and patted his buttocks. Not his family member, cannot eat this pot of rice ah, it was really nonsense.

The other workers around all joined in the fun saying, you young fellow are foolish, a precious daughter has a crush on you, it’s your ancestor’s virtue, if you can become good friends with her, isn’t it good? Why did you go and make her cry.

Chen You hehe, in the next world I will be ugly, then I won’t have this kind of trouble.

There was a shout from the left, "Big guy, there’s someone looking for you!"

Chen You was in a bad mood, "Who is it?"

The man said, "A handsome young man."

Chen You was blank, more handsome than me?

From a distance, his eyes widened when he saw a figure next to the excavator.

The man also opened his eyes wide.

Chen You turned on his heels, damn, his mood got even worse.

Chu Tian quickly stepped up and grabbed the man, frowning, "Why do you make yourself look like a migrant worker?"

This remark poked at Chen You’s sore feet, "What about migrant workers? If you dislike it, don’t come."

Chu Tian looked embarrassed, "Sorry, I.... That’s not what I mean."

Chen You didn’t want to talk nonsense with him, "What are you doing here?"

Chu Tian choked and grew angry, "Didn’t I tell you to look for me when you came out? Why didn’t you come?"

"Look for you?" Chen You looked at him and pointed to himself, "Do I look like an idiot to you?"

Chu Tian’s forehead twitched violently. He dragged the man away from the construction site without saying a word.

This incident caused a great uproar. Really unbelievable, the big man was so poor that he could not afford a pack of cigarettes, it was unexpected that he knew that kind of rich man.

Chen You was dragged into the car, his body was dirty and his hair full of dust. This kind of appearance stunned the little assistant.

When the car door was slammed shut, the assistant trembled and drove. After keeping to himself for a while, he turned his eyes to the rearview mirror.

Looked like he didn’t want this job anymore.

Chen You tilted his legs, opened the broken mouth of his sneakers and said hello to the little assistant.

The assistant wiped his sweat and thought the director was crazy.

Chu Tian said an address and did not open his mouth again. He leaned his head back against the seat, dressed in a suit with his hair combed back meticulously, the proper style of a company president.

Chen You picked at the cement under his fingernails. He asked the system in his heart when it would let him be an overbearing president.

System, "President is possible. Overbearing president, difficult."

Chen You, "What do you mean, you look down on me, don’t you?"

System, "En."

Chen You, "Just wait, wait for Laozi to be overbearing and blind your dog eyes!"

System, "I support you going after your dreams, add oil."

"..."

When Chen You’s thoughts returned, the car was just parked outside a restaurant.

Chu Tian got out of the car first and went to the other side to open the door. He stood by the car, his figure tall, straight and handsome.

Chen You felt like he was Cinderella. He grabbed the goose bumps on his arms, threw them to the ground and stepped on them with his sneakers.

The restaurant was very upscale and the layout was romantic, suitable for young couples to frequent.

You eat steak, I watch you eat, after that I eat you. Very delightful.

As soon as Chen You went in with his attire, not surprisingly, he was repelled and disdained by the people inside.

The waiters didn’t show it, they hid it in their hearts because the person was brought in by their boss.

Chu Tian brought Chen You to the second floor and ordered two steaks. He took off his suit jacket and loosened his tie, his expression hard to guess.

The steaks were soon served, along with red wine.

Chen You looked at the steak. Since it had come, you can make life hard for whomever, but you don’t have to be hard on yourself.

Chu Tian looked at the man opposite and his eyes could not hide his surprise. As far as he knew, the other party went in at a young age and would never had come into contact with this sort of level. He should be ill at ease and embarrassed.

However there was none of that.

Chen You didn’t even look up. What are you looking at, when I ate steak and drank red wine, you might not even be born yet.

Chu Tian couldn’t help but laugh. He thought he had become somebody and not a boy in prison anymore, so this man would change his attitude towards him and even come to rely on him. In the end he was wrong.

Moreover, terribly wrong.

The man still did not put him in his eyes.

After taking a sip of red wine, Chu Tian mentioned a name, "He Siyang almost died in prison."

Chen You did not have much reaction on his face, but he already roared in his heart, "F*ck, system, you lied to me. Didn’t you say that He Siyang’s life was not in danger?"

System, "Almost. It means he did not die."

Chen You gnashed his teeth.

"Blame his face for being too arrogant." Chu Tian sneered, "The prison changed prisoners in batches. There was a foul mixture of dragons and snakes, and many of them wanted to ruin him."

Chen You kept silent. If he opened his mouth, he would lose control.

To tell the truth, it was very scary when he could not control himself.

Chu Tian observed the change in the man’s expression and continued, "But He Siyang is also a capable person. In order to come out early and not get a demerit, he did not do anything else beside self-defense."

Chen You was moved, dì ah, gē knew you would not disappoint me.

Chu Tian deliberately lengthened his voice and smiled in a vague way, "Oh, right..."

Chen You’s nerve endings shook, can’t you f*cking finish talking all at once?

Chu Tian cocked an eyebrow, "I heard he broke a little finger."

Chen You took a deep breath, it must be very painful, "You came here just to tell me this?"

After a while, Chu Tian said, "You’re still waiting for him, aren’t you?"

You can see that, you are really amazing, bro. Chen You put down his knife and fork. He did not feel like eating the steak anymore.

"I still have work to do on the construction site."

Chu Tian finally threw out his real purpose, "Come with me."

Chen You turned around to leave, treating him as spouting nonsense.

Chu Tian wanted to stop the man. He clenched his fist and strongly restrained himself, "The me now can get whatever I want. He Siyang is still doing his (prison) time in that place, and it’s not certain when he can come out."

"Even if he can come out alive, he will not be able to give you a good life. Xiao Fei, why must you choose him?"

Chen You left without saying anything.

He was just here to complete the mission, it would be very sad and exhausting to involve emotional entanglements. He would also become a fool and it wouldn’t be fun.

Besides, if He Siyang knew that he was in contact with Chu Tian and reverted back to how he once was, then he would have nowhere to cry.

Watching the man leave without looking back, Chu Tian’s straight back bent down and it took a long time for him to recover.

He pulled off his tie and drank the glass of wine in one gulp, but it was still hard to calm down his state of mind.

He couldn’t tell whether it was because he was unreconciled to not getting that person or the anger of losing to a kid.

In any case, he was unable to get what he wanted.

The next moment, Chu Tian smashed the wine glass and gasped heavily with both hands on the table.

A moment later, he made a phone call with an indifferent voice, "Dad, just do as both of you want, I’ll get married next month."

On the roadside, Chen You acted cute with the system while walking, asking about He Siyang’s current situation.

The system was annoyed by him and told him some things in violation of the rules.

Chen You stopped and searched his pocket. He grabbed a 10-yuan bill, and went to eat a bowl of DanDan noodles.

His heart was not big, it was easy to be satisfied. A bowl of noodles could cheer him up.

"Should I save some money..."

Chen You said to himself. The consumption here was really not generally high, but apple was still a luxury for him.

The apple he mentioned was not a mobile phone but a fruit that can be eaten.

Ai, when He Siyang came out, he would not be able to find job in a short time. He was likely to feel lost, depressed, frustrated, crying at every turn and did not want to live.

At that time, wouldn’t He Siyang need Chen You to provide for him.

When he thought about it, Chen You felt that the responsibility on him was too heavy. He rubbed his face and sobbed. Before he became a handsome uncle, he would directly turn into a dirty old man.

The years were too cruel to me.

The second year, Chen You was still carrying bricks on the construction site. He was lazy and didn’t want to look for another job.

The work shed was baked by the hot sun, it was impossible to serve people well and the temperature would not drop until after midnight.

This was not the only bad thing about summer. The latrine pit also suffered, the hemp mosquitoes could be grabbed by a handful.

Chen You rushed in and out at top speed, but his butt was still targeted a few times.

He scratched his butt after two steps, thinking about when to go to the supermarket to buy a bottle of mosquito-repellent perfume.

Inadvertently glancing at a location, Chen You stopped in place, seeing a man standing in the dusk.

The former youth had shed his young and inexperienced image, had grown taller and also grew up. His facial features became firm, more and more handsome and dazzling.

"Gē..."

It was not until the address came into his ear that Chen You only reacted. He looked at the youth who had walked to his front and raised his hand.

He Siyang smiled and called him, "Gē, I found you."

With He Siyang’s presence, Chen You’s life was honey with sugar, sweet and sweet.

He never asked how He Siyang got the apartment and what did he do leaving home early and returning late every day.

On the bed and off the bed, everything was good, except for the poor progress of the mission.

After drinking several bags of water at a time, Chen You couldn’t help asking, "Yangyang, what else do you still want?"

He Siyang kissed his face, "Give you a home."

Chen You looked around, "Isn’t this it?"

"Not good enough." He Siyang hugged the man tightly, "I want to give you a better one."

Chen You thought bitterly, this is already fine, really, I’m not materialistic.

No matter what he said was useless. He Siyang was extremely paranoid. As soon as he had a goal, he was bound to accomplish it.

Chen You could only accompany He Siyang, waiting for that better home to appear.

Day by day, year after year, the house was changed again and again, from small to big, and bigger.

Chen You was still trapped by 0.07 in this world. If he did not leave, he would be old.

"System, you haven’t contacted me for so long, it can’t be that you’ve forgotten me?"

There was no response.

Chen You was anxious, "Don’t abandon me ah, I’m still waiting for you to take me home."

System, "I thought you forgot about me."

Chen You patted his butt, "How can that be, I can forget anyone, but I won’t forget you ah."

"Why haven’t I completed the mission yet? Is there an error with the statistic?"

The system was inexplicably silent.

Chen You felt a slight pain in his balls, "Speak up!"

System, "Currently under full maintenance."

Chen You’s heart ached to the extreme. He also felt strange, He Siyang had built a number of Hope Primary Schools and was devoted to charity, how could his evil thoughts remain unchanged?

"First, in the next world, I must be ugly. Second, I want a skill that no one else can do. Third, I also want a big bird."

Chen You said nothing else but threw out the compensations he wanted.

System, "..."

Knowing what was going on, Chen You changed his method and became less anxious.

He Siyang had a strange uneasiness and his sixth sense had always been accurate, "Gē, from tomorrow, you come with me to the farm (ranch)."

Chen You was browsing a web page, "What will I do at the farm?"

He Siyang turned Chen You’s face towards him, "Accompany me ah."

"Gē, don’t you want to see me at all times?"

Chen You, "..."

I don’t think so, ai, I’m afraid of getting eyestrain.

He grabbed He Siyang’s left hand and his eyes stopped on the severed little finger. He paused for a moment before saying, "Okay, I’ll listen to you, go to the farm to accompany you."

From that day on, Chen You’s life was to have a water fight with He Siyang in the house at night and continued at the farm during the day.

Fun was fun, but if you were not careful, you would hurt yourself. Could not get out of bed for a few days, fecal incontinence, and could not take care of yourself.

One day after work, He Siyang met a vicious incident on his way back and was seriously injured.

Chen You went to the hospital and saw a little girl squatting by the wall with a schoolbag in her arms. By looking at her face, he knew why He Siyang did so regardless of his own danger.

She looked very much like He You.

Chen You sighed with sorrow. His sister’s death was a wound that He Siyang could not erase all his life. He saved a girl who looked like his sister this time and did not let the other suffer misfortune, his heart should be happy.

The light of the operating room was on and He Siyang was inside.

Chen You just sat down in the chair when the system informed him that the repair was done and confirmed that the mission was completed. The countdown to leave was one minute.

"F*ck, so fast?"

Chen You stood up a little speechless and glanced at the door of the operating room. He Siyang, I’m sorry ah, I’m leaving, there’s no time to properly say goodbye to you.

He said in his heart, "I’m really happy to have met you in this world."

Although you carved words on my thigh and it was so painful that I wanted to scratch the wall, but I still... thank you.

Chen You just finished speaking and was taken to the next world by the system. The countdown of one minute was one minute, not a second more.

He Siyang’s operation was successful. The first thing he said when he woke up was to ask where Chen You was.

The secretary lowered her eyes and did not answer.

He Siyang pursed his bloodless lips, "Raise your head."

The secretary trembled and slowly raised her head, both her eyes were red and it was clear that she had just cried.

He Siyang’s head began to hurt fiercely, but his voice was still calm, "Where is he?"

"Big, Big Boss, he..." The secretary stammered, "Big Boss is dead."

The ward sunk into deathly stillness.

He Siyang pulled off his IV drip and got down from the bed. He had not taken a step before he fell down.

The secretary ran over in fright and hurriedly went to help the Little Boss. Her arm was gripped.

"Give me the phone."

The secretary’s face was deathly white, "Little Boss..."

He Siyang said coldly, "Hurry up!"

The secretary cried while taking out the cell phone and choked with sobs, "Big Boss suddenly did not have a breath, just... just outside the operating room."

He Siyang pressed the number but no one answered. He frowned and dialed again.

"Gē, where did you go? Why didn’t you answer the phone?"

Hearing the man talking to himself, the secretary was scared from head to foot. She cried loudly, "Little Boss, don’t be like this, Big Boss will be very sad if he knows."

He Siyang did not respond. He sat on the ground, continuously made a call and his mouth kept repeating, "Gē, answer the phone ah."

The secretary saw the man’s wound split open and there’s a lot of blood gushing out. She screamed in fright.

Soon, a herd of messy footsteps was heard. The doctors and nurses rushed to the ward and were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The man’s abdomen was covered with blood, but he seemed to have lost his sense of pain and kept holding his cell phone to call someone.

When He Siyang saw the person he wanted to see, the bleeding of his wound had been stopped and the wound re-bandaged. His vitality seemed to be recovering little by little but he found it difficult to breathe.

"You said you will not leave me."

He Siyang sighed and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Gē, you are really irresponsible. Since you lied to me from the beginning, why not just lie to me for a lifetime?"

He touched the person covered by the white cloth, there was no temperature. He put his hand under the white cloth and pressed it on the other’s heart, there was no heartbeat.

He Siyang stood up with an expressionless face and suddenly pulled off the offending white cloth. He clenched his fingers.

"You’re fine, how could you just die?"

Even if he saw with his own eyes and touched with his own hands, He Siyang still could not accept it at all. The man who supported him all these years, to struggle, to fight, to run, to smile and to face life, left him without a word. He left this world.

"You’re gone. What’s the point of me trying so hard ah?"

After a long time, He Siyang said, "Forget it."

The secretary was waiting outside. She waited for a long time and didn’t see the Little Boss come out, so she went to call someone.

The door was knocked open. He Siyang had fainted by the bed, unconscious.

Chen You died in winter and the temperature was very low. He was put on the bed, wearing soft pajamas, and his appearance was serene as if he was sleeping and moreover having a good dream.

He Siyang was sitting in a chair reading a book. Once in a while, he looked up, then put his eyes on the book again and read two paragraphs to him.

"Is it still ’Nunchucks’ today?" He Siyang put down the book and went to turn on the computer. "Gē, there is something that I have been enduring not to tell you, this song is really hard to listen to."

He laughed softly, "You don’t know, every time I listened to you sing, I wanted to block your mouth." In fact, he had done just that and enjoyed it every time.

Not long after, singing sounded in the room. That kind of cheerfulness was particularly abrupt and made people feel even more sorrowful.

He Siyang went to make a glass of milk, pinched the man’s chin and fed him, "I changed the flavor, it’s a little sweet. If you don’t like it, let me know and I’ll change it for you."

He lifted the quilt and lay down beside the man, "Gē, I fired Aunty Zhang today. Whatever you want to eat in the future, I’ll make it for you."

The cold wind was blowing outside the window. The bedside lamp in the room was slowly warming but the warmth could not penetrate the bed.

He Siyang suddenly remembered something and said with a smile in his tone, "Oh right, the restaurant jointly opened by Dong-zi and lao-Yu will open next Tuesday. I have a lot of work on my hands so I won’t go, you must not get angry ah."

"The red packets won’t be less and there is your share too. I have already prepared it. If you want to pass on some words, I will pass it on for you, don’t worry."

He Siyang held the man’s hand and gently rubbed it in his palm. It was still ice-cold. He pursed his lips, "Let’s move and live in that house on the hill. It’s very quiet over there and no one will disturb us."

"I’ve looked at the weather forecast for the coming week. Tomorrow will be sunny, let’s move tomorrow, okay?"

He Siyang looked at his cell phone, "Almost ten o’clock, it’s time to go to bed."

After switching off the bedside lamp, he pulled up the quilt, leaned his head against the man’s shoulder and put his arms around him. A perfectly satisfied smile appeared on the thinning and pale face, "Gē, good night."
