Who Made Me Willing to Spoil You Unconditionally?

“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”

Hearing the voice outside the study, the old professor shook his head.

“Grandpa is fine, Shiyu.”

If Ye Hao had been present, he would have recognized the girl immediately.

She was the same girl who had blocked him after school that day, acting annoyed while demanding that he tutor her.

Seeing how worn out her grandfather looked, Chen Shiyu quickly moved to support him.

“Grandpa is getting old.
I can’t be as energetic as you young people anymore.”

He thought back to the problems he had spent so long crafting, only to be solved so easily by someone else.

His pride burned painfully, and even worse, that person didn’t even respect him as a professor.

Even though he had retired, he still possessed a lifetime of knowledge.

Yet he had lost to someone so young.

What was the world coming to?

Why did everything suddenly feel so dark?

Where was the light?

“Grandpa… no.
You’ll never get old.”

“Yes, yes.
Grandpa will never get old.
Grandpa still has to watch you walk down the aisle someday.”

He had given this granddaughter all of his love.

Her mother had died shortly after giving birth to her.

Her father, unable to accept the loss, followed soon after.

Only two-year-old Chen Shiyu remained.

And him, back then just a university professor.

Time had flown.

Shiyu had grown up.

He did not know how much longer his aging body could hold out.

He only hoped he would live to see that day.

“By the way, Shiyu, didn’t you say the other day you met someone extremely annoying?
What was that about?”

He still remembered how she had come home looking like she had just eaten something bitter.

“That guy is a famous nerd in our school.
Top of the grade.
Looks polite and perfect on the outside, but he’s actually a complete scumbag.”

Just thinking of Ye Hao made her furious.

What do you mean “be my girlfriend for two months”?

Was she supposed to throw away her pride?

Her reputation?

Her innocence?

The professor blinked, confused and disturbed.

There were really such immoral students now?

She continued.

“I just asked him to tutor me.
And he said he wanted me to act as his girlfriend for two months.
Apparently he flirted with two girls at school and didn’t want to deal with the consequences, so he wanted me to be his shield.”

“Disgusting jerk!”

The professor fell silent.

He truly did not understand the world of young people.

Though she spoke angrily, deep down Chen Shiyu still wanted Ye Hao to tutor her.

She had hit a learning bottleneck.

She didn’t know how to review anymore.

But still…

Who would want to be someone’s fake girlfriend?

They had history from their first year of high school, but—no.

No.

Absolutely not.

Stupid jerk.

Someone like him shouldn’t even live.

He wasted air.

He took up space.

He ate food for nothing and produced waste.

She really wanted to pin him to the ground and beat him up.

Meanwhile, after finishing the last set of problems, Ye Hao looked at Luo Yao, who had dozed off on his bed, and sighed helplessly.

Just then, his phone lit up.

“Hello?
Who is this?”

“Ye Hao! It’s me!
I’m downstairs!
Hurry up and let me in!
It’s so hot outside!”

Ye Hao froze.

Yuan Yuan.

What was he doing here?

“Oh—wait there.
I’m coming.”

“What’s wrong?” Luo Yao sat up as he stood.

“Yuan Yuan is downstairs.
Yeah… that guy.”

Luo Yao’s expression tightened slightly.

She didn’t know why she felt annoyed, but her instincts told her this wasn’t simple.

She followed him downstairs.

The door swung open and a boy wearing a white sunhat flung himself onto Ye Hao, wrapping his arms around his neck.

“Come on, weren’t you saying you were hot?
Get off, idiot.”

“No.
It’s too hot to walk.
Carry me.”

Ye Hao let out a long sigh.

He adjusted his grip and carried him inside.

Luo Yao watched the boy clinging to Ye Hao.

A sour feeling rose in her chest, even though she didn’t understand why.

“Hello, Luo Yao.
Sorry to intrude today~”

“It’s… fine.”

“Ye Hao, let’s go to your room.
I need to talk to you.”

Why the room?
Why not talk here?

But Ye Hao didn’t argue.

He always ended up indulging him somehow.

It felt like taking care of a younger brother.

Annoying, but… familiar.

And somehow soft.

“Luo Yao, I’ll be in my room.”

“…Alright.”

Even though she hated it, she let him go.

“Yuan Yuan, don’t mess around.
I can’t see where I’m going.”

“It’s fine!
I can see!
Let me be your eyes!”

“You want me to spank you, don’t you?”

With Yuan Yuan covering his eyes and hanging from him, Ye Hao climbed the stairs anyway—because he knew his house perfectly.

“Watch out!
The stairs—!”

Too late.

Ye Hao stepped on instinct and charged straight up.

He tossed Yuan Yuan onto the bed.

“Ow!”

“Alright.
What did you come here for?”

Ye Hao lay down beside him.

“Oh, right.
The important part.”

Yuan Yuan straddled Ye Hao and braced his hands beside his head.

“Was it you who set the fire!?”

“What?”

“What fire?”

Ye Hao blinked.

Last night he’d barely had time to get home, and then Luo Yao had intercepted him.

He definitely did not set any fire.

“Don’t you know?”

“How would I know?”

He pulled out his phone, confused.

The teachers’ dorm had caught fire.

A trainee teacher was fine but mysteriously resigned.

People were whispering.

And Yuan Yuan suspected Ye Hao because of the expression he had made last night.

“I only told them to scare her.
That’s it.
I didn’t tell them to hurt anyone.
Why would I burn something?
That’s stupid.”

Yuan Yuan sighed in relief when the message came back confirming there had been no fire set on purpose.

“I knew it.
You wouldn’t do something like that.”

“Well.
Except that one time I messed up an entire family just to help you feel better.”

“Hmph! I didn’t ask you to.”

“Yeah, yeah.
Anyway.
Are you done?
If you’re staying, get off.
You’re heavy.”

“No.
I’m staying right here.
What are you gonna do about it?”

Ye Hao stared at him.

“Fine.
If you’re going to sit there, help massage my shoulders.”

“Then turn around.”

“Lift your butt up first.
You’re sitting on me.”

Idiot.

“By the way, I’m transferring into your class tomorrow.
Happy?”

“What?
We’re about to graduate.
Why are you transferring now?”

This was ridiculous.

Exams were coming.

He needed to study.

Even if his family was wealthy, a man still needed skills.

“I missed you.
Is that not allowed?”

“…Whatever.
Fine.
But you have to do one practice test every day.
If you score sixty or above, I’ll grant you one small request.
Deal?”

“Hehehe.
You’re so good to me.”

If he didn’t treat him well, who would?

And also, he didn’t want Yuan Yuan eating his food later in life because he had no job.

“Yuan…”

He wanted to say: This is for your own good.

But he swallowed it.

He had spoiled this boy for years.

Even if Yuan Yuan didn’t grow taller, he still wanted to protect him.

Who else would he spoil if not him?

“Of course I’m good to you.
Now use some strength.
Did you skip lunch?”

Where Ye Hao couldn’t see, Yuan Yuan’s face flushed pink like a ripe apple.
