Chapter 18 - 16 [Taking Advantage]
Chapter Sixteen [Taking Advantage]
Chen Nuo’s mentality at the moment was actually quite complex. He inhabited the shell of a youth, but his soul was that of an old ghost—and not just any old ghost, but a malicious one, the most malevolent kind. Towards Old Sun’s daughter, he actually didn’t have many thoughts. It was just that typical impulse of a middle-aged man, upon seeing a young and pretty girl, to tease her a bit if the opportunity arose—just for fun. But he really didn’t harbor any excessive intentions. Old Sun’s judgment of him was completely off the mark. Yet, this inherent kindness that shone through still touched Chen Nuo. People like that were rare nowadays and would become even rarer in the future. And such people... they should be duly rewarded. That was the greatest form of fairness in this world.
After taking care of the business in South Korea, Chen Nuo had recently fallen into a state of idleness. There was certainly more to do in the future, but that was still a long way off.
So, he preferred to use this period to just let himself loaf around. He had lived through too many days of waltzing on the razors’ edge amidst hails of bullets in his past life. Even during the eight years he self-imprisoned at sea, he was constantly on edge, managing his team and stirring up trouble around the world. In this life, free from all those entanglements, Chen Nuo was more inclined to first let himself enjoy a period of being idle—the kind of days where he could just hang around, bask in the sun, with nothing particular to do.
So, he didn’t go to school that afternoon.
He wandered aimlessly on the streets, hung out in a video arcade for a while, strolled through a mall, and even went to a cinema to watch a movie.
Since it was a weekday, the movie theater was almost empty. Chen Nuo spotted a couple sitting in the back row and, with a bit of mischievous delight, deliberately sat next to them.
The lovebirds endured ten minutes before finally moving to another spot.
Chen Nuo laughed heartily, watched the movie for a while, and then fell asleep.
When he woke up, he continued his wandering, entered a KFC, bought a milkshake to go, and sipped it on his walk home.
Upon reaching the entrance of his building, he saw School belle Sun’s face.
"Why did you skip school today?"
