SABL Extra – Parallel World 1.1

As hinted in one of my comments in the finale, some of these extras are quite long (i.e., this first half of this extra is 3x longer).

 

[Parallel World] If Lu Yunye and Shi Yi had been together in childhood. If Shu Wen took Shi Yi and successfully escaped from Shi’s house, and rented one near Lu’s main house~

 

Since entering primary school, Lu Yunye has lost the right to have a driver, and started going to and from school by himself.

We walked very slowly on the 20-30 minute journey home. Because his glands were underdeveloped, and his pheromone level was far lower than that of his classmates, he was often bullied by his strong classmates.

He doesn’t like to talk, has a bad temper, and doesn’t have many friends. Even if he is bullied, no one is willing to help him.

In order not to offend the bullies, Lu Yunye decided to take a shortcut through a small alley. There is a one-story house waiting to be demolished in the area, changing the pathing in the alleys.

Unexpectedly, a little fat guy in his class lived here. The eight or nine-year-old child had already grown tall and strong. When Lu Yunye saw him, he shouted: “The trash is over there! He changed it again today, and got a new school bag!”

Lu Yunye often changes his backpack and stationery because they will be torn or stolen for no reason. He told his family that he accidentally broke it, afraid of telling others that he was bullied and failed the high expectations his father had given him.

Lu Yunye took two quick steps to hide in the alley, but he couldn’t run away from the bullies. The strap of his school bag was quickly grabbed, and then yanked violently!

When he raised his head again, there were already four or five punks around him. His hands and face were dirty, and his uniform was scratched and wrinkled, but his expression was firm as he shouted angrily: “Let go!”

“Yo, you learned to resist?” The little fat man opened the backpack and dumped the contents on the ground.

Lu Yunye shook off the person who was pulling him, raised his knee and pressed it against the little fat man’s stomach.

“Fuck!” The fat boy cursed and took a few steps back while clutching his stomach. Someone had already reached out and grabbed Lu Yunye’s forehead hair.

“What are you doing!” A gentle voice interrupted them.

Lu Yunye raised his head with difficulty, and saw an adult come out to stop them. The other party should also live here. The washed jeans are a little whitish, and he wore a simple cotton t-shirt. It was a young man with round and slightly raised almond eyes who looked the same age as his parents, lacking the deterrent effect of most adults.

Sure enough, the little fat man wasn’t afraid of him. He straightened up and shouted, “Mind your own business! Be careful, I’ll tell my grandma when I go home!”

“You can’t bully people.” The young man walked closer, his tone didn’t change much, but he was a bit harsh. “Let him go.”

After all, he is an adult, even if he looks sickly, he is much taller than a group of little kids. The gangster who grabbed Lu Yunye hesitated, let go of his hand, and threatened: “You sick man, be careful of your windows! See if I don’t find someone to smash it!”

The young man turned a deaf ear to what he said. He just picked up Lu Yunye, pulled him aside, squatted down and said, “Where is your home?”

It was obviously something that he could’ve handled, but he was rescued. Embarrassed and trying to save face, the eleven or twelve-year-old boy’s self-esteem was hit. He turned his face away awkwardly: “Don’t worry about it.”

With the same turn, he saw an even more beautiful doll not far behind the beautiful man, who was hiding behind a corner and timidly looking at them. Although the clothes he was wearing were not new, the cute glutinous rice dumpling was well-raised, with some round baby fat, and a pair of almond eyes that were exactly like those of a man.

The man followed his gaze and smiled softly: “I also have a child at home, shall we walk you back home?”

Lu Yunye’s face was still tense, and he nodded slightly.

The young man knelt down and helped him pick up the stationery that had fallen on the ground. The small rice dumpling also ran over, buried his head in the young man’s arms, and handed it over to Lu Yunye in a childish voice: “Here, little brother.”

Lu Yunye squatted halfway, blushing a little from the kid who came over suddenly, and said, “Thank you.”

“Little brother is lost, shall we take him home?” The man rubbed his head.

“Okay!” The rice dumpling took Lu Yunye’s hand without another word, bouncing around. “Little brother, where is your home?”

“It’s right in front.” Carrying his school bag on one shoulder, Lu Yunye was being dragged by one hand. The little boy’s palm was small and soft, and it was scorching hot. The fragrance made him a little dazed.

Sweet and fragrant, like juicy white peaches.

Gradually approaching the villa area, Lu Yunye’s palms were sweating from being held, but he was reluctant to let go.

Through the iron fence and rose flowers, the child sighed enviously: “Do you live here? Your house is so big! It’s even bigger than my previous home!”

The security guard at the gate knew Lu Yunye, so they just sent him there. When the young man took the reluctant child back, Lu Yunye squeezed his suddenly empty palm, and asked: “Do you want to come in and see my home?”

As if he was afraid that the other party would not be interested, he added: “There is also a small garden and a swimming pool.”

The rice dumpling’s eyes lit up, but hesitantly looked at the man: “Dad, can we go in?”

The young man didn’t seem to have expected Lu Yunye, who seemed a bit stubborn, would invite them in, so he said helplessly, “Okay, but dinner is already ready, so we have to go back soon to eat.”

The small rice dumpling seemed nervous as they walked past the gates. He curiously and cautiously held his father’s hand, not holding Lu Yunye any more.

It was already past the time to go home, and Mother Lu waited anxiously at the door. Her eldest daughter had already come back and started on her homework, but she never saw her younger son.

Finally, Lu Yunye appeared in her field of vision. She hurried to meet him then saw that there was still one big and one small person behind him.

Xiao Ting was stunned: “Who are you?”

“We live in Chunhui Lane,” said the young man. “We just happened to meet this little classmate.”

“Little brother, can I have a look at your garden?” Children have no sense of boundaries, and the little boy leaned over to Lu Yunye’s side to ask.

Lu Yunye supported him, and grabbed the small hand which was offered. “Okay.”

The children entered the door, and Shu Wen said to Xiao Ting: “That’s right, there are many naughty brats in Chunhui Lane. He was bullied on the way home, and I just happened to see it.”

Xiao Ting turned her head, only to notice Lu Yunye’s crumpled uniform and the straps of his backpack. Thinking of the damaged stationery and clothes, she couldn’t help but frown.

Shu Wen continued: “If you have time, it’s safer to take him to and from school. Those kids don’t look very old, and fight recklessly. It’s safer to be accompanied by adults.”

“I understand, thank you.” Xiao Ting said gratefully. “My child’s temper is just like his father’s, stubborn. Do you want to go in and sit down together?”

It’s time for dinner, and it was inappropriate to suddenly intrude on someone else’s home. Shu Wen politely declined, “No need, the meal is ready at home, and can be eaten as soon as it’s warmed up.”

After finishing speaking, he yelled, “Xiao Yi, let’s go home.”

The rice dumpling ran out when he heard his father’s sound, and obediently took Shu Wen’s hand: “Hi pretty aunt, your house is really big!”

Xiao Ting immediately smiled. Her children are both alphas with strong personalities, and seeing such a cute child is rare. She couldn’t help squatting down to tease him. “Come over and play often, okay?”

“Okay!” He nodded heavily, “Brother Lu said he’d show me the swimming pool next time!”

Seeing that he even knew his name in just a few minutes, Shu Wen couldn’t help but hold the small Shi Yi: “Then let’s go first.”

Just as they were talking, the Bentley parked outside beeped. Xiao Ting turned her head and said, “Dr. Shen, are you staying for dinner?”

“The cats at home need to be fed, or the house will be demolished.” Shen Qing’an came out, and was startled when he saw the man outside the door: “This is?”
