Waste is just the threshold to my meeting.

Chapter 74 Corner Gives Eyes

Edwards readily agreed.

Everything has a gradual process, although he hasn't been able to move in right away yet...

But this also means that he is not far from taking control of Fu Chen's family.

At this moment, it's merely the preliminary task of integrating into Fu Chen's entire family.

All the gains are not far away for Fu Chen.

As long as I continue to maintain good relations with them, I will definitely have no worries about food or clothing in the future.

He no longer has to struggle alone; he can now have his family to support him.

Honestly, even if he had to be shameless, he would have to stay at Fu Chen's house now, and there was no way he could bargain with them anymore.

However, after he agreed, Fu Chen was somewhat puzzled.

After all, Edwards is still a boarding student.

School staff will be checking dorm rooms at night, and if Edwards runs out every day, he'll definitely get caught.

But I wasn't too worried.

Furthermore, Pui Choi Secondary School does not encourage an increasing number of day students, as this would disrupt order.

Only with a sufficient number of boarding students can students study well at school and avoid developing a state where they are influenced by external things outside.

Well, the real intention is that boarding students are more likely to drive the economic development of the entire Pui Choi Secondary School.

Boarding students have very strong spending power; don't underestimate them. Their daily purchases, including items and necessities, are quite substantial.

Or consider daily meals, such as lunch, dinner, and breakfast—the expenses are considerable.

If you were enrolled as a day student from the beginning, that would be fine.

However, if you've registered as a boarding student but want to switch back to being a day student...

In that case, the school will most likely not grant it and will directly reject the student's application for accommodation.

Therefore, Fu Chen was also somewhat troubled for Edwards.

No, what the hell am I worried about?

Fu Chen suddenly shook his head, it seemed that he had also subconsciously come to regard the other party as a super soldier.

However, Edwards didn't perceive his distress as much of a problem at this moment.

As if this were no problem for him at all, he then proceeded to explain in detail.

"I sneaked out today by climbing over the wall, so don't be afraid. It gets dark early now, and it's completely dark by 7 o'clock. From now on, I can just climb over the wall every night at 7 o'clock, and it won't interfere with your dinner."

As for the morning, I'll get up around 5 a.m. to prepare breakfast for you!

Upon witnessing Edwards's resolute and determined gaze, Fu Chen, his father, and his mother all showed expressions of slight frowning.

Seeing how worried the family of three was about him, Edwards felt a surge of pride.

I haven't felt this cared for so thoroughly in a long time.

You know, having lived this long, he has always longed for the day when he could receive everyone's care and concern.

His nose tingled with emotion, and he said domineeringly:

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'm all family, so don't stand on ceremony!"

To be honest, that's not what everyone is worried about. After thinking for a long time, Liu Liping asked:

"We're not worried about you, we're just wondering, doesn't your school have CCTV?"

Logically speaking, the act of students, especially boarding students, climbing over the wall to enter and exit the building could be a very serious matter if it is serious.

So, is it due to inadequate supervision, insufficient monitoring, or some other reason that allowed you to climb over the wall and go out so easily?

666, we're all family now, why are you still giving me this subtle nonsense?

However, Edwards thought about it and understood; after all, it was China, and Chinese people are generally quite reserved…

The same applies to family atmosphere; people won't say they love someone to their face.

It expresses itself in a winding and circuitous manner, and also in a very subtle way.

They might even deny that they care about each other.

He understands all of this.

Edwards was well aware that he had now completely won the love and affection of Fu Chen's family.

Thinking this to myself, I then answered the question Liu Liping had asked:

"Auntie, the security camera didn't capture me."

"Why? Why can't the security cameras capture you?"

Liu Liping was completely baffled, while Fu Chen could roughly imagine what the situation was.

Edwards smiled slightly, pointed to his clothes, and asked Fu Chen's family:

"Look at what I'm wearing today!"

Fu Chen looked him over for a long time, then said:

"A rather low-quality short-sleeved shirt, with rather mediocre workmanship, paired with casual shorts and flip-flops."

From this, we can see Edwards' personality traits; he seems to be quite casual and relaxed, and has completely embraced the classic tradition of Blue Mountain: flip-flops.

Stop, stop, stop! What nonsense are you spouting?

Upon hearing his answer, Edwards shook his head in frustration, then looked at his future father and mother with longing.

Fu Longhu's eyes swept back and forth over Edwards, who had just stood up. Then, his brain, which had been working overtime for a long time, was racing, and he replied, as if his head was about to burst into flames:

"Are you dressed?"

That's right, this is not a rhetorical question, but an interrogative sentence.

Because Edwards was so dark-skinned, it was as if his Chinese bloodline was insignificant compared to his powerful father's bloodline.

It would be perfectly accurate to describe his skin color as pitch black.

He then looked at Fu Chen's mother, Liu Liping. Liu Liping glanced at him briefly and replied with difficulty, "Xiao Hei, I have no idea what you're wearing..."

Upon hearing this, Edwards nearly collapsed: "How could you not know what I'm wearing?"

He spread his arms and circled back and forth in front of the two of them.

A look of disbelief crossed his face. It was hard to believe.

Liu Liping answered truthfully: "Xiao Hei! These damn clothes you're wearing don't even have a single word on them, let alone a brand logo or trademark. How am I supposed to know what they are?"

Edwards hadn't expected that two different people, two different families.

Their understanding of each other could be so different, but there was nothing he could do. He believed that his involvement would definitely change Fu Chen and their parents.

Helpless, Edwards could only slowly explain to them.

"I'm wearing black clothes."

With a loud slap, Fu Chen's father suddenly clapped his hands: "How come I didn't think of that? Black! I was wondering why you looked so dark. Turns out you were wearing black clothes."

Then I remembered, you're already dark-skinned, why do you still wear black clothes? It doesn't look good!

"Yeah, Xiao Hei, you really are an idiot. Your skin is already dark, and you're wearing all black clothes!"

What if you go out on a national highway at night to scare off trucks, and instead of being scared, the trucks miss you and run you over as a speed bump? Wouldn't that be incredibly stupid?

Is that an idiot?

That fucking killed him instantly!

Edwards was really going to call the police.

He rolled his eyes, but then he thought that if he called the police, the bicycle he had just given him would probably cause him trouble again. So, he could only painfully open his eyes…

"What I mean is that my skin is naturally on the darker side..."

"What do you mean by biased towards black? This is pitch black, it's extremely black, little black, don't be so modest."

"With your dark skin, what's with the modesty?"

Liu Liping interrupted Edwards, and Edwards' vision went black. Now, one of the only two still-white parts of his body had been smudged.

In one area, the whites of his eyes had turned black, leaving only his teeth untouched by the blackness.

After a period of calm, he was filled with helpless bewilderment:

"No, no, no, listen to me. What I mean is that I'm already dark-skinned, and then I was wearing black clothes."

Because it was dark, the surveillance cameras couldn't capture me at all. I had completely blended into the darkness, so do you understand what I'm saying?

So you really don't need to worry about me getting caught climbing over the wall!

Who the hell is worried?

Fu Chen and his parents will drop out of school and resign from their jobs. They will dedicate themselves to studying this sentence.

After all that, it seems they never worried about why Edwards was able to slip away so easily, or whether they were worried about him being caught.

It's just a question.

And so, the matter was decided happily, though in reality it wasn't very pleasant.

The only ones who were truly happy were Edwards and Fu Chen's parents.

Edwards was excited and delighted that he had finally found a safe haven, that he would no longer have to bear it all alone, and that he had finally found a place where he could rely on his parents.

Fu Chen's parents were happy because they had finally found a free working-class slave to help their family.

In addition, his cooking is so delicious, it's a gift from God, and they really have to thank God.

However, Fu Chen was not as happy as one of the two.

After all, Fu Chen witnessed firsthand how Edwards displayed his exceptional skills as a master thief this morning... no, it should be last night.

This special skill made him a little scared, afraid that something might mysteriously disappear from his house someday, stolen by Edwards.

In fact, there is absolutely no need to worry about this situation.

Because in Edwards' eyes at that moment, everything in their entire house belonged to him, Edwards.

Maybe not now, but it will definitely be after he integrates into Fu Chen's family, and slowly, everything will become Edwards's.

So why would someone steal things from their own home?

He assumed that everything in Fu Chen's house belonged to Edwards, so there was no way he would tamper with their property.

Therefore, under these circumstances and at this critical juncture, Edwards is even less likely to do anything to Fu Chen's family.

Instead, he would carefully cultivate a good relationship with one company and work diligently, but this was only the beginning of a nightmare…

The prerequisite for cooking is having vegetables; you can only cook if you have both vegetables and rice.

So, under these circumstances, Edwards successfully found a way to use the axe: buy vegetables with money.

He enthusiastically stretched out his hands, wanting Fu Chen's parents to apply for money to buy groceries, so that Fu Chen's parents wouldn't have to waste time shopping.

However, he still underestimated Fu Chen's parents.

"Little Black, I think you're just confused. How can a little kid like you know how to buy groceries?"

You'll get ripped off by the vendors 1000% when you go grocery shopping. You have no idea how unscrupulous people are these days; they're as black as your skin.

"You don't know how to buy groceries. Your uncle and I have been working in society for so many years, let us handle the grocery shopping."

You just focus on preparing the meal; you don't need to worry about anything else!

Wow, that's great that I don't have to bother myself...

Buying groceries is so convenient; all I have to do is cook. It's so easy!

Fuck you, fuck your ass...

Painful things followed one after another.

In the evening, Edwards was in a hurry. He started preparing at 6:30 p.m. and went to great lengths to climb over the wall under surveillance.

Then, they went all the way to Fu Chen's house and began his first enthusiastic home-cooked meal.

This was the happiest day for Fu Chen's family in the past few months.

With Edwards, a home cook, helping out, there's absolutely no need to worry about cooking; his skills are top-notch.

It's unclear whether Edwards received training from a young age or because he grew up living alone.

Therefore, he has very unique insights and expertise in cooking.

The food I made suited everyone's taste perfectly and tasted delicious.

Aside from eating hot pot and barbecue, Fu Chen's parents and Fu Chen themselves hadn't laughed so happily and joyfully in a long time.

Edwards was also able to stop spending money on the school's bland and unappetizing meals.

Seeing how happily Fu Chen's family enjoyed the meal he had prepared, Edwards smiled contentedly.

The Fu family smiled as they saw Edwards being so well-behaved and hardworking, and were very proud of his contributions.

It looks like a win-win situation.

For the next two days, Edwards worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk.

Every morning, after washing up, I would leave home around 5 a.m. to cook breakfast for Fu Chen and his family.

They had to climb over the wall back to the boys' dormitory at Pei-Tsai Middle School while it was still dark and before it was completely light.

Then, at 7 p.m., he would climb over the wall again to cook dinner for Fu Chen's family.

In order to increase their favorability, she kept doing housework for Fu Chen's family, sweeping, mopping, and washing clothes, as if she were playing a galgame.

This is so much more tiring than working or studying...

But Edwards remained undeterred.

Gradually, he sensed something was wrong…
