Chapter 127.2 Neglect and stupid idiot
Editor: Jodi
Sima Ming Xuan observed everything silently, and from the information revealed by the household robot earlier, it was indeed as Yan Fei had said — Yan Hao listened to his mother very obediently. Or rather, he seemed very eager to gain his mother’s attention. At the same time, he also understood why Yan Hao disliked Yan Fei so much. It was because their parents clearly favored Yan Fei, and Yan Hao didn’t seem like their biological child at all. If he could get Yan Fei to persuade his parents to treat Yan Hao better and thus repair their relationship as brothers…
Both of the Federation’s top-level Master Mech Builders were Yan Hao’s Masters, not to mention his senior brothers. Just thinking about the resources Yan Hao had access to almost made flames shoot out of Sima Ming Xuan’s eyes.
“Ming Xuan, taste this soup.” Lu Si Ying interrupted his thoughts.
Sima Ming Xuan snapped back to reality.
“Okay, thank you.” Sima Ming Xuan smiled gently, took the soup bowl, then took a sip. “It’s delicious.”
Yan Fei smiled then turned to look at Yan Hao who was sitting across from him and glared at him fiercely. However it was just a quick glance and because he was afraid the others would notice his jealousy, concealed his emotions quickly. However he couldn’t forget the way Sima Ming Xuan had stared at Yan Hao with such intensity just now.
Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.
“Go and answer the door.” Lu Si Ying instructed the household robot.
“Yes, Mistress.” The household robot turned to open the door, and shortly after, returned with another slightly larger robot.
“Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Yan Hao?” The robot had a large electronic screen on its head that displayed an address and recipient information.
This was a robot that was used specifically for deliveries.
Yan Hao was already up as the robot started speaking, and walking over, he extended the terminal of his light brain that was on his left hand in front of the robot. The electronic screen on the robot’s head flashed with a red light for a moment, then after verifying Yan Hao’s identity, opened its abdomen and said, “Hello, Mr. Yan Hao. Your customized four-piece bedding set has been delivered. Please accept and check it.”
“It’s good.” Yan Hao took out his purchased items from the robot’s abdomen.
“Thank you for your patronage.” The delivery robot said, then automatically turned around and retraced its steps. The household robot followed behind closely, going to open the door for the delivery robot.
Lu Si Ying looked at the four-piece bedding set in Yan Hao’s hands and asked in confusion, “Why did you buy this? Don’t you have some in your room?”
“I do have some in my room, and the sheets and covers are all there, but those are probably what I used when I left home.”
“So what? You don’t like them? You’re only staying here for half a month, so what’s the point of being so particular?”
“00965, go to my room and bring down the sheets I changed.” Yan Hao didn’t bother to explain further and directly instructed the household robot who had returned to the dining room.
“Yes, Master.” 00965 was quick and soon came back downstairs with a crumpled sheet in hand, asking, “Do you need it cleaned?”
“Just shake it.” Yan Hao told it.
“Master is currently eating, so shaking the sheets isn’t recommended as it may raise dust.” 00965 advised.
“Shake it!”
“Yan Hao, what are you trying to do?” Lu Si Ying’s face was filled with impatience.
At this moment, 00965, having received the second command, didn’t hesitate any longer. Its two mechanical arms grabbed the corners of the sheet and gave it a vigorous shake, causing a cloud of dust to billow into the air along with an unpleasant musty odor, making everyone cough uncontrollably.
Yan Fei even took a step back, overwhelmed by the fumes.
“Senior Sima, as our guest, is there so much dust on the sheets and covers in your room?” Yan Hao asked Sima Ming Xuan.
Sima Ming Xuan shook his head unconsciously.
“Mom, you came to pick me up from school yourself, so I thought you might have missed me a little, but now it seems that I’m no better than a guest in your heart.” After saying this, he ignored the dumbfounded Mrs. Lu Si Ying and turning around, went upstairs holding his newly purchased sheets.
Downstairs, 00965 still stood in place, asking repeatedly, “Do you need the sheets cleaned?”
“Just throw them away!” They were so moldy, there was no way to use them anymore.
Lu Si Ying watched as Yan Hao disappeared around the corner of the staircase then for the first time, began to recognize her negligence towards him. “Xiao Fei, have I been neglecting your big brother too much?”
Shocked in his heart, Yan Fei walked over quickly to hold her hand. “Mom, it’s not your fault. It’s big brother who doesn’t like others entering his room.”
“Yes, it’s he who doesn’t like others entering his room and he’s always organized his things by himself since he was little, never letting anyone touch them.” Lu Si Ying finally found a reasonable excuse for herself.
It wasn’t that she had forgotten, but that Yan Hao Hao hadn’t let her into his room since he was a child. She was just used to it and so hadn’t thought of it for a while.
“Besides, why did he go out to buy it? He could have just opened his mouth to ask the house’s robot to replace them. It’s not as if we don’t have household robots.” Lu Si Ying added.
“Mom, you also shouldn’t blame big brother. He isn’t very happy about coming home this time, so he’s probably still upset.” Yan Fei tacked on.
“What’s there for him to be unhappy about? Making a fuss with a long face all the way here, and now that he’s home, he won’t stop. His wings have become hard after going to university, right?” Thinking of Yan Hao’s strange behavior throughout the journey, Lu Si Ying was suddenly furious.
“Mom, calm down. Let’s continue eating.”
“Eat what? The whole table is covered in dust.”
Sima Ming Xuan watched with cold eyes at how Yan Fei turned Lu Si Ying’s guilt towards Yan Hao into anger effortlessly. He might have commended such cunning and manipulation if it had been directed at dealing with an enemy, but now it was directed at Yan Hao, the person he needed to please the most. He was so angry he almost grabbed him by the collar to call him a stupid idiot.
