Chapter 12: Cute Little Apprentice

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[GM: Kid, when you were 10 years old, you got into a fight with the boss to steal moldy bread. You were beaten till black and blue. You even told the boss that you could perform your talent.] 

[GM: As long as the customers clapped from your performance, he would give you the bread. You used one minute to complete the six sides of the Rubik’s cube in the bakery owner’s hand.]

[GM: Chen Mo, I named you this because you didn’t have a name before.]

[GM: The only customer in the bakery who applauded for you was me. I am Cang Lan.]

Wen Xiaoya’s fingertips burned, but the pain was nothing to her. She managed to type the last line on the screen, but suddenly; the laptop screen went black. Two wisps of white smoke came out from the power hole and the speaker hole.

This diamond-encrusted laptop had completely ended its ordinary life. Wen Xiaoya punched the table lightly in anger. Damn it, this b*stard was slick. It had only been a month since they had contacted each other, and he had cultivated such a bad temper.

This was absolutely marvelous, right now, the most valuable thing to her to draft out her plans had been destroyed. She did not know how to contact her little disciple in the future. In fact, after Cang Lan met Chen Mo at the bakery, the two of them had never seen each other in real life after that.

All the adoption procedures were carried out by a professional lawyer, and later, the two of them had a text-only relationship online.

Cang Lan rarely talked to him, and basically sent him a stack of books every month to let him read, write, and learn from. After he had some understanding of the computer world, she began to teach him how to code and program language step by step.

During the two-dimensional education sessions, Cang Lan basically shared all the knowledge she knew about the technological world, and also her books. It was not that she did not want to interact with this child more, but she did not know what a good education was.

Chen Mo had never let her down though, this was because he had extremely strong learning capabilities. In less than two years, he had displayed superhuman talent when it came to understanding technology. Similar to the Rubik’s cube event, no matter how complicated the situation was, as long as Chen Mo played with it a few times, he would have been able to quickly figure it out.

He might even be able to find a more efficient and accurate solution as compared to Cang Lan.

In the first 10 seconds of Cang Lan’s death, she had a big regret. This regret was that she would not be able to see the day this child grows up. Her heart sank further knowing that she had no means to contact her little disciple now. 

Suddenly, Wen Xiaoya’s cell phone rang. She snapped out of her daze and saw a video call from an unknown number on her phone screen. The corners of her mouth rose, and a bright smile lit up everything around her. She pressed the green answer button, and the mobile phone screen immediately appeared with a bubbly snot-faced boy.

“Wuuu…Wuuu, master, you are not dead, wuuu!” Chen Mo cried as he spoke. Wen Xiaoya was silent and amused, she let out a hearty laugh at the sight before her. 

Chen Mo took several tissues and began to blow his nose and wipe his tears. He tried his best to hold back his tears and scolded Wen Xiaoya, “Master! Have you no humanity, it seems that you are happy watching me cry?!”

Wen Xiaoya was quiet for a moment, she did not expect a situation like this to occur, she had not seen Chen Mo for seven years. He had grown into a handsome young man. His thick eyelashes were moist, and the tears sparkled on his blue eyes. His forehead was narrow, his nose was high, his eyebrows were thick, and he still had tints of baby fat on his cheek. 

‘My little disciple is too cute,’ the lady thought to herself. ‘When he grows older, it would be amazing. He could even contest the looks of Fu Lengye and be the second most handsome!’

“Master, why aren’t you talking? Are you mute? Ah! No wonder you never called me, and only chatted online!

“It’s okay, I don’t mind. When one door closes, another window opens. Master is so beautiful and smart, no one will treat you as a mute even if you don’t talk!”

Chen Mo turned into a chatterbox, just like before. Every time Cang Lan sent a sentence in the chatbox, there would definitely be a hundred more that waited for her.

“Little brat! Now you believe that I’m Cang Lan?” Wen Xiaoya said.

“F*ck, master, you know how to talk. Then speak more! I’ve never communicated with you like this before!

“Master, how did you come back to life? You said you’re Wen Xiaoya now. I did see this name when I found your IP address.

“Master, do you know that when you called me a brat for the first time, I actually believed that you were Cang Lan!

“Master, so you were the one that wore a hat and clapped in the bakery last time. I was wondering how I became so lucky to be adopted by you!

“Master, you…”

Wen Xiaoya scratched her ears. Children were really better in other people’s homes, they were so, so annoying. Her ears were about to drop off!

“Shut up first?”

After being reprimanded by Wen Xiaoya, Chen Mo immediately sat upright and pursed his lips. Even his breathing became more cautious.

Wen Xiaoya gave a brief account of what happened after her rebirth. She skipped over the cause of Cang Lan’s death. She only began from when she was almost poisoned to death and was forced to agree to a marriage.
