Love as a Weapon: A Tsundere Player in a Transmigration Game

17. I am Not Your Mr. Gu (2)

Translator: Annsmiley

Nan Yu stayed at home until night. He had learnt a lot about this world through the system, and he also learned how to use the hi-tech appliances in the kitchen.

However, it was obvious that Nan Yu had no gift for cooking. With all the time and effort he spent on it, the food looked just okay and tasted awful.

He could only give up and take his wallet to eat outside.

However, because the orginal host was a teacher who got along with almost everyone, the moment he came out, the neighbor nextdoor asked him to eat at her home.

“Mr. Nan, where are you going during dinner time? My grandson told me that you’re not feeling well today?” An old woman asked caringly.

Nan Yu smiled and said embarrassedly, “Granny Liu, I just had low blood sugar. And I’m going downstairs to see if I can grab a bite in some restaurant.”

“Mr. Nan, you should know that by no means is the food in restaurants as clean as homecooked meals. I have stewed pork chop soup. Mr. Nan, come to my house and have some,” Granny Liu held Nan Yu’s hand, looking hospitable.

Subconsciously Nan Yu wanted to pull his hand back, but Nan Yu didn’t do that as he was afraid that she would think that he was a transmigrated person in this world.

“I’d love to but I really can’t!” Nan Yu tried to refuse, as he thought that it would be awkward to eat at someone else’s house.

“Mr. Nan, look, you are always so nice. You don’t even charge us money for helping my grandson in his studies. Tell me the truth, are you looking down on our family?” Granny Liu said harshly, pretending to be stern.

“Not at all, Granny! I just don’t want to trouble you,” Nan Yu quickly explained and looked at Granny Liu gently.

“Then, Mr. Nan, you will have dinner at our house.”

Seeing that Nan Yu hesitated, Granny Liu smiled and took Nan Yu to her house.

“Dear, prepare another pair of chopsticks. Mr. Nan will have dinner with us!”

“Thanks, Granny Liu.”

“Don’t mention it, Mr. Nan. It’s our pleasure to have you eat dinner with us here.”

Just like that, Nan Yu was taken into the house by Granny Liu. And the homemade food made Nan Yu feel a little sad.

If he had his memory, he would remember whether there were times when all his family members gathered together and had homecooked meals.

“Mr. Nan, have some pork chop soup. I made it with a casserole, so it’ll taste better than ordinary pork chop soup.”

Granny Liu poured pork chop soup into a bowl for Nan Yu. Nan Yu took the bowl hurriedly and thanked her.

“Thank you, Granny Liu. Please stop calling me Mr. Nan. Just call me Xiao Nan,” the hospitality of the family made Nan Yu want to be closer to them.

“Alright, Xiao Nan, eat more. Just help yourself and make yourself at home. Eat more rice!”

“Okay, Granny Liu, the food you made is so delicious. I will definitely eat more rice with it.”

This was the first meal that Nan Yu had in this world. He was extremely satisfied. After saying goodbye to Granny Liu, Nan Yu returned to his place.

When he got home, he watched TV for a while, And then Nan Yu remembered that he still needed to buy some underwear. After all, the underwear at home belonged to the original host. Although he had transmigrated into the original host’s body, Nan Yu still couldn’t see himself wearing someone else’s underwear. After all, he wasn’t the original host.

So he went out and bought some necessities. And it gradually got dark outside.

< Host Player, there is a night market in this world. You can go have a look. >

“Night market, that sounds fun.”

Nan Yu accepted the proposal of the system. After he put down the daily necessities he bought at home, he went to the night market based on the original host’s memory.

Outside, the lights were bright, and numerous cars drove by, and people brushed past each other. Everyone was busy with their own lives.

As Nan Yu walked towards a bridge, the sorrowful voice from afar entered his ears.

Who was that young man? And what kind of vicissitudes he had experienced to play such emotional music?

He followed the source of the music and came to one end of the bridge.

Dear Miss Dong…

Do you remember the street musician who sang for you?

He never finds someone who is like you …

……

With his deep smoky voice and the music produced from the guitar, this part of bridge had become a quiet corner in the noisy night market.

Nan Yu stood in front of the singer and listened quietly as he kept singing.

Are you the Miss Dong who I know

I’m not the lover who lived in your soul

I walked into the pub the other day

Beers went down and out the stories came

My Miss Dong, oh, my true love in heart

Has nowhere to be found, yet to show up…

It is another cold winter, with fluffy snow

God please tell me, to which season did she go…

…

At the end of the song, Nan Yu applauded generously. A ballad with a story behind it, coupled with the unique performance of the singer, brought Nan Yu into the story as well.

“Can you sing a song for me?”

Nan Yu smiled warmly, his eyes filled with admiration.

The young man didn’t answer him but continued to play the guitar.

Just as Nan Yu thought that he was unwilling to sing for him, he heard the singer’s voice again.

Let me travel from the south to the north, to see you once again.

My eyes seemed to be blinded by the endless highway lines

Please tell me about that day again…

The girl holding a box…

And the man who was wiping the sweat.

I know those summers…

Won’t ever come back, just like our youth.

Instead of having dreams…

We could only live with the reality

I know whatever I bragged about…

Will go away like our youth did

Let me be trapped in the city… to commemorate you…

…

I know in this world…

There were too many regrets every day…

So just say goodbye… before we met…

Nan Yu closed his eyes and listened as the singer sang the song. He was immersed in the story behind the music. It was not until the singer stopped playing the guitar that Nan Yu slowly opened his eyes.

Nan Yu applauded loudly again for the young man. And he looked at the young man as if he were looking at a treasure.

At the age of this singer, he shouldn’t have been able to sing such a storytelling song, but with his composure, he didn’t look as simple and naive as his peers.

“The song you just sang is very nice. It’s a really good story.”

But since Nan Yu was the only one who stood there listening to him, what Nan Yu said sounded insincere and unconvincing. And, not far away from them, there were a couple of bands that were surrounded by people.

Their rock and roll, together with their hot sexy dance and the cheers of the audience made the young man, who only Nan Yu listened to, look particularly lonely.

But with indifference written all over his face, the young man looked like he didn’t care at all.

The young man played a song for Nan Yu, and Nan Yu should reward him. But when Nan Yu took out his wallet, he found that there were only some changes in it. Only then did he realize that he had spent all the cash buying daily necessities.

Nan Yu found it hard for him to just give the remaining changes to the the young man. How could he do that? He said that the young man sang well, but he just rewarded him with some changes. It could be seen as an insult to the singer.

Nan Yu had been smiling but now he looked a little awkward.

“I came out in a hurry today and I didn’t bring any cash. Can I treat you to a late night meal?”

When they were at a restaurant, Nan Yu would be able to use his card and get some cash in exchange.

The young man looked at Nan Yu and said in a low voice, “No need. Thank you for listening, I appreciate it.”

“Rumble~Rumble~”

Speaking of a late night meal, Nan Yu remembered that he had not eaten yet, as right now his stomach was growling.

“Rumble~Rumble~”

With Nan Yu’s stomach growling, the stomach of the young man who had rejected Nan Yu’s kindness earlier also started to rumble.

Nan Yu looked at the young man, who had originally been indifferent, looked a bit embarrassed at this moment.

Touching his stomach, Nan Yu grinned at the young man. “Haha, both of our stomachs are rumbling, so please don’t reject my kindness. Come on, let’s go fill our empty stomachs!”
