HEMSV Chapter 3. Mum, if you’re kidnapped, just blink!

[What is it? What is it? Tell me quickly, I’m listening.]

Upon hearing the melon from the Yu family, Yu Keke immediately became mentally alert and quickly asked.

[Your second uncle has an illegitimate son outside and has already planned to let him take over when the Yu family recovers.]

[…That’s it? This doesn’t feel unexpected.] Yu Keke was excited for a moment, but after eating, she didn’t feel very satisfied. Suddenly, she lost interest.

System: [But your second uncle is infertile, and cannot have children.]

Yu Keke: …

Yu Keke: ? ? ?

Damn it, this is so explosive!

[So that illegitimate child was born from his little lover and someone else, and then fell on his head?] She sat up abruptly, her eyes shining, and quickly reacted, [Wait, doesn’t that mean Yu Ran is also-]

[Second uncle Yu’s lover was not only kept by your second uncle, but was also taken care of by another coal boss. After she got pregnant, she revealed it to both of them, but the coal boss refused to admit it and asked her to abort it. So she accepted a sum of money and broke off with the coal boss, following second uncle Yu full time.]

Very satisfied with the reaction ability of its melon eating teammate, the system happily shared with her: [In addition, Yu Ran was born from your second aunt and her first love, who she has stayed in contact with privately until now.]

Yu Keke: Double click 999, this really overturned the 6s. ¹ 

She excitedly asked, [So did both of them know that the other person was cheating?]

[Of course not.]

The system meticulously and rigorously analysed: [Your second uncle believes that both children are his biologically, but he values sons over daughters, so he secretly wants to pass on the family business to his illegitimate child. Your second aunt and first love both know the truth about the child and collude with the doctor to conceal the matter, but don’t know that your second uncle has a lover outside.]

My god, isn’t this more exciting than the kind of dog blood in the eight o’clock drama?

So the couple have come together to green the other, Yu Keke summarised and couldn’t help but feel that those who green others will also be green. ² 

However, she compared left and right and felt that second uncle was still more miserable.

After all, neither of the two children is his own, and the little lover and wife not only give him a green hat, but also try to push the green hat products to the righteous position.

She has to knock on a wooden fish,³ otherwise her conscience will be troubled ha ha ha ha ha——

Yu Keke quickly stopped her overly rambunctious smile and said, [It’s over. I’ve lost all my merits and virtues for twenty years with this lugh.]

System: [Deduct 1, Buddha forgives you]

Yu Keke:  1 1 1 1 1

[Speaking of this, does Yu Ran know that she is not the child of second uncle?]

[She doesn’t know anything and still thinks that husband and wife are in love, both of whom love her very much. The system suddenly remembered something, [Speaking of, she also has a melon-]

However, before the system could finish speaking, she suddenly heard mechanical prompts constantly ringing.

[Blackening value +1]

[Blackening value -1]

[Blackening value +1]

Yu Keke slowly raised a question mark: [What happened to the villain this time?]

The words “this time” are infinitely sad.

The system glanced over and said, [He’s still working on the documents, nothing’s happened… Ah, he’s rubbing his temples again, as if his head hurts.]

Yu Keke clicked her tongue: “Then it seems that his illness is quite serious.]

Just looking at the blackening value that jumps repeatedly, you can almost feel how painful it is. Maybe this is why the villain invested in the medical research institute in the later stage?

[Wait, maybe we can start from this aspect.] As if she had caught the key point, she suddenly thought, [If we can find a way to cure his headache, maybe the villain’s blackening value can be reduced and he won’t want to destroy the world?]

Just like in clichés novels, the female lead is the boss’s medicine. No matter what ailments you have, as long as you encounter the female lead, you can heal without medicine. It’s just a headache, isn’t it easy to cure?

As soon as she finished speaking, the prompt sounded again: [Blackout value +1]

…Help, the villain is really sick! If left untreated, the world will be destroyed!!

[This is indeed a good idea! ] The system was also excited for a moment, and then became depressed again, [But we are not allowed to be equipped with such an unscientific gold finger, and his body has been tested before, he is healthy, there is nothing wrong with him.]

“…”

Yu Keke couldn’t help but be speechless, there isn’t? Sir, I’ve already worn books and bound to a system, and you still talk to me about science?

Forget it. Anyway, there’s no way to solve the blackening value for a while, so Yu Keke didn’t look for trouble. Instead, she might as well shift her attention. [So Yu Ran’s melons, don’t just talk halfway.]

[Let’s talk about it now, I was just interrupted before. The system didn’t get tangled up and shared with her heartlessly. [Yu Ran recently fell in love with a male star and wanted to support him, but was rejected.]

[Didn’t she just say that everyone in the entertainment industry are entertainers?] Yu Keke was immediately amused. [This family is really interesting, their three views are very consistent.]

[The male star only wanted to rely on his own efforts and was unwilling to sell himself. Yu Ran felt ashamed and angered, so she put pressure on his company and hid him.]

Outsiders may not know that the Yu family looks shiny on the outside, but they are actually on the verge of bankruptcy. One party is a wealthy family that cannot be offended, while the other party is just a newly signed newcomer, so there is no need to think about how the company chooses.

…The Yu family is indeed a melon field, and looking around, there are melons everywhere.

Yu Keke couldn’t help but shake her head in her heart. Sure enough, boys should still take good care of themselves when they are outside. If they are not careful, they may encounter this kind of lunatic who likes to take things by force.

Tragic, too tragic.

“…What’s with that look in your eyes?”

As soon as Yu Ran walked out, she met Yu Keke’s strange gaze, which made her back inexplicably cold. She quickly glared back with a stiff face and became vigilant.

Does she know what she did just now? Or what kind of bad things does she plan to do ? !

“I’m just thinking, it’s true that, if you are not a family, you will not enter the same door.” ⁴ Yu Ke looked her up and down with a brand new look and casually said,” You and my second uncle and aunt are definitely a family, so believe in yourself.”

“… You’re insane.” Yu Ran sneered and rolled her eyes. We’re not a family, are you?

However, while she didn’t take Yu Keke’s words seriously, second aunt Yu, who happened to come out carrying vegetables, felt her heart suddenly tighten when she heard these words. With a trembling hand, she accidentally dropped the plate onto the ground, making a crisp sound.

“Ah!”

Yu Ran was startled and turned around to see her mother’s pale face, looking at Yu Keke as if she had seen a ghost. So she couldn’t help but hesitate, “Mum, what’s wrong with you? Are you okay?”

“… I’m okay. Mum’s hand accidentally slipped just now, did I scare you?” Second aunt Yu regained her composure and quickly restrained her frightened expression, showing an unnatural smile.

What’s so scary about this… What’s going on with everyone today? You’re all acting weird.” Yu Ran impatiently asked the servants to come and tidy up. She looked suspiciously, “Mum, are you feeling uncomfortable? Your face looks bad.”

“Perhaps it’s been a long time since I worked, and I’m a bit tired.” Second aunt Yu smiled perfunctorily and looked vaguely at Yu Keke, who was still sitting on the sofa. She asked tentatively,” Keke, why did you suddenly say that?”

It’s nothing, it’s just that I suddenly realised that Ranran and you are very similar. You look like a family at first glance.” Yu Keke touched her face and sighed softly, “But I am born in the mire and not affected. Oh, what a pity.”

Second aunt Yu : “…”

——She is indeed hinting about something!

Although Yu Keke is very good-looking, she does feel aggressive, and her round eyes always show a little deer-like timidity when looking at people. When she bent her eyes when smiling, she looked more like fluffy cotton candy, soft and heartwarming.

In other words, it makes people feel more pitiful.

But now – whether it’s because of a guilty heart, she still has the same smile, but it inexplicably makes Aunt Yu feel that it contains profound meaning.

What did she say just now, was it unintentional or… did she really know?

As soon as Aunt Yu had this terrifying idea in her heart, it was immediately suppressed. No, it’s impossible. Apart from the parties involved, no one else could know about that matter!

But why did she suddenly say that?

What is so similar to you? Believe that you are really a family – no matter how you explain it, it’s too strange!

Also, Yu Keke’s attitude towards her since returning this time is very different. She not only lacks the respect she used to have, but also has a strange and sinister tone when talking to Ranran.

Second aunt Yu clenched her fingers and became more and more anxious as she thought about it. Her previously firm belief that no one knowing also became increasingly shaken.

Yu Ran took a cold breath and said, “Mum, what’s wrong with you? Your face is getting worse and worse.”

System: [She was scared by you]

[If I said it was a misunderstanding, would she believe it?] Yu Keke chuckled in her heart.

“Yes, aunt Yu, if you’re really uncomfortable, it’s better to rest.” She was particularly considerate, “I wouldn’t hold any grudges against second aunt just because of this.”

She really knows!

Not only was Aunt Yu not comforted, but her face turned even paler. So she is now threatening herself. If she doesn’t  do as she wishes, will she take revenge and tell the truth… No, absolutely not ! !

“It’s fine, since Keke wants to eat the food I made, of course I will make it for you to eat.” Unable to understand the situation for the time being, she decided to stabilise Yu Keke first and took a deep breath, showing a gentle and kind smile. “I just need to redo it now, it’s no trouble.”

Yu Ran: ? ? ?

Watching her mother actually enter the kitchen again, she couldn’t help but show an incredulous expression——

No, Mum, if you’re threatened, just blink!

During dinner at night, second uncle Yu continued to uphold his dignified expression and said calmly, “Keke, you’ve been filming for so long, and you didn’t attend the last banquet. You probably haven’t contacted Jingye for a long time, have you?”

Yu Keke let out a slow “En.”

“You child. You’ve already said you wanted to cultivate a good relationship with him, why are you still so unfamiliar?” Second uncle Yu frowned. “Jingye is busy with work and doesn’t have time to find you on weekdays, so you go to the company to find him. Moreover, the people around him don’t know about you, do they? How can this continue?”

Before Yu Keke could speak, second aunt Yu hurriedly said, “Keke has just returned home and must be tired and want to rest. It’s better not to rush her. Anyway, it won’t make much difference to do it a little later.”

“What do you know?” Second uncle Yu became even more dissatisfied and knocked on the table. “I heard that he has hired a new female secretary. Were there women around him before? There must be something going on.”

 When he said this, second aunt Yu couldn’t help but take it seriously: “Is this true? Wasn’t it said that eldest master Ji doesn’t get close to women?”

“Can this still be fake? So Keke must go to the company and let them know who the real madame of the Ji family is.”

Seeing the three members of the Yu family staring straight at her, Yu Keke nodded cheerfully and said, “I know, I’ll go tomorrow.”

Not expecting her to be so enthusiastic that they didn’t need to rush or threaten her like before to agree, the Yu family couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise. Especially second aunt Yu, although she didn’t show it obviously on the surface, her heart was filled with uncertainty.

…This damn girl seems to have her handle, so she won’t want to cause any trouble, right?

However, Yu Keke didn’t intend to explain. After taking the last bite of rice, she leisurely went upstairs to her room amidst their confused and wary gazes.

If you want to know, I won’t tell you 🙂

The author has something to say: Yu Keke: Hey, just playing jpg.

¹ Although the original “666” comes from the game LoL, the word “double-click 666” is Kuaishou culture. Double-clicking on a Kuaishou video means liking it. 

This is where I start guessing the meaning 🙂

[What does “double-click 666” do?

If they get alot of double-clicks, their video will be ranked higher on the homepage. After getting many double-clicks, they will become a popular internet celebrity and receive advertisements, earning a lot of money.

Leading to the “Double Click 666” development. In order to become popular, you need at least 10,000 double-click likes, which is why many people use various methods such as begging, deceiving, provoking, and sending gifts to induce you to double-click 666. The Internet and Taobao are also full of advertisements and popular tutorials on how to attract fan’s double-clicks. A lot of related negative news has appeared one after another about the reality of Kuaishou Internet celebrity’s monthly income of millions, fake charity and really stupid things have caused the platform to have many negative labels. Some netizens bluntly said that there are thousands of stupid people and Kuaishou accounts for half. It is not advisable to gain attention by using any means to climb the ranks. It is advised you all live broadcast with caution, and cherish the audience while broadcasting.

The above is the relevant introduction to this word. If you double-click 999, you will probably die without a whole body. Please show your support and let’s be more stupid next time! ]

This explanation is what I found online and I’m half certain they are just pulling my leg.  

² Put a green hat on them = To cheat on others

³ According to the education we have received since childhood, it is immoral to laugh at other people’s misfortunes. And if you are the protagonist of suffering, you definitely don’t want others to laugh at you.

However, due to the Internet, netizens can “stay at home and laugh about everything in the world.” Therefore, even if they know that it is not good, many netizens will still laugh. After all, netizens who are thousands of miles away from you don’t know who you are, and you don’t know who they are. If you don’t know what you are laughing at, your moral bottom line will be extremely flexible and jump repeatedly. If there is no one around, what else will netizens worry about?

Naturally, they are worried about “God”.

In private, human beings often behave like they believe in metaphysics. For example, reposting a koi fish on Weibo to pray for good luck.

This is a kind of psychological counselling for yourself.

Therefore, people who see “bad jokes”, “hell jokes” and “regional jokes” will sometimes sigh: “I’m going to have my merit deducted.”

This is a kind of ridicule without regret or reflection. They know that this is not good, and they know that no one will care. While they do not care about Buddha, they care about some unknown mysterious power. 

If you want to increase “good luck” and reduce “bad karma”, it is impossible to go out or buy products specifically for this purpose. After all, it is too ethereal.

This ambivalence eventually led to the birth of products such as “electronic wooden fish”.

Opening the app, tapping the screen, or shaking the phone is equivalent to knocking a wooden fish, which increases merit and hits the right spot of young people.

It is indeed convenient, and the ticking sound can indeed give people some comfort to a certain extent. It seems that all immoral behaviours will be offset by knocking.

But can we really accumulate merit? Will Cyber ​​Buddha really accept electronic followers? Deduction 1 Will Buddha really forgive you?

Here’s another side note to better understand the explanation (If your still reading (╥ ᴗ ╥))

Deducting 1 can offset the “sin”. What is the principle behind it?

From deducting 1 to knocking electronic wooden fish, the popularity of “Buddha forgives you” started with the Hell Jokes.

The so-called hell joke refers to taking pleasure in other people’s misfortunes, teasing or ridiculing other people’s experiences. The reason why it is called a hell joke is because “if you understand it and still laugh out loud, you will go to hell in the future.” This shows the extent of the evil nature of Hell Jokes.

Most of the original hell jokes were based on politically sensitive topics, individual misfortunes, historical sufferings, etc. For example, there is a classic joke about Hawking: a man with the same angle as the earth. (Explanation: Hawking suffered from Lou Gehrig’s disease when he was 21 and was paralyzed. His “crooked neck” was caused by the disease.)

⁴ If you are not a family, you will not enter the same door = This proverb means that people who can live together often have similar temperaments and styles and have many similar interests, otherwise it will be difficult for them to get together.
