Chapter 8: This Is Ridiculous
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Daybreak.
After waking up, Chen Yu lifted the covers, put on his clothes and, looking out at the mess everywhere, fell into deep thought.
“Yu! Time to eat! Still not up yet?”
“I’m awake…”
Coming back to his senses, Chen Yu shouted a short reply. Then, he opened the window to ventilate the room and jumped out of bed.
His ankle instantly sank into a “sea of tissue”…
“This… is so terribly ridiculous…”
“How am I going to clean up this mess…”
After some time, seeing how Chen Yu was still not coming out of his room…
Chen Siwen couldn’t wait any longer. She picked up the rice bowls and walked over to his bedroom. Then, she pushed the door open, walked in, and said, “Can you hurry up? You’re going to be late for school…”
“Don’t come in!”
“Late… You’re late…”
Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)
Chen Siwen: “…” (speechless)
Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)
Chen Siwen: “… you can put away that remarkable display of prowess now, alright…”
[Mental damage inflicted: Mental state +8]
Quietly, Chen Siwen closed the door and went back to her seat at the dining table. She realized that her hand that was holding the bowl was trembling slightly.
“What’s Yu doing? Why is he not out yet?” Mrs. Chen asked as she ate.
Chen Siwen replied, “He’s playing with his life…”
…
After breakfast, the two Chen siblings walked out of the house together.
Chen Yu carried a backpack.
Chen Siwen carried a suitcase.
Neither spoke.
It wasn’t until they reached the school gate that Chen Siwen passed the suitcase over to Chen Yu and broke the silence. She said, “The teacher’s dormitory won’t be like our home. Be smart, and be mindful of hygiene. Don’t incur the wrath of others by being a nuisance to them.”
“Understood.”
After taking the suitcase from his sister, Chen Yu walked into the school with his head lowered.
“Wait a minute…”
“Anything else?”
“Mm…” Chen Siwen hesitated, trying her best to find the right words before saying what was on her mind. “That… first of all, I don’t mean to mock you, not at all.”
Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)
Chen Siwen went on to say, “But…”
Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)
With his left hand holding the luggage and his right hand holding his backpack, Chen Yu couldn’t help going red in the face.
Chen Siwen also felt her cheeks burning.
But as his older sister, it was necessary for her to show concern for her own little brother’s “physical and mental” health.
So, she braced herself, gathered her courage, and said, “But… But there is a limit to everything. Anything done in excess will do more harm than good…”
At this point, Chen Siwen took one look at how “refreshed and invigorated” Chen Yu looked, with that face of his “radiating health and vigor,” and paused for a while. Then she spoke again: “Even if there isn’t much effect now, after a long period of time, the body may not be able to take it anymore. Right?”
Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)
“Anyway, you’re also a grown-up now. And I think you understand what your sister is trying to tell you, so I’ll stop nagging you.” Chen Siwen took a step back and waved. Then, she said, “Go to school. If you don’t have enough lunch money, just ask me for some. I’ll come and deliver you the Qi-Boosting Elixir the day after tomorrow.”
“Bye.” Chen Yu turned and left.
“Bye…”
Looking on until Chen Yu gradually disappeared from view, Chen Siwen sighed again. Then, she took out her phone to look up something.
[How many times is it considered normal for a man to masturbate in one night?]
The webpage flashed.
Then, thousands of pieces of information appeared at once.
On the first page, there were advertisements by various medical organizations.
Chen Siwen randomly clicked on one and entered the site. Immediately, a so-called “chief physician” sent out an inquiry.
[Physician Zhang: Hello, what can I do for you?]
“I would like to ask, for a young lad to masturbate a hundred times in one night, is that considered normal?”
[Physician Zhang: That level of intensity could probably create sparks, right?]
Chen Siwen: “…” (speechless)
…..
“The more I come to learn about it, the closer I get to finding the horror of this ‘curse.'”
“In the future, if I ever start looking for a girlfriend, I’ll have to choose a really sturdy one…”
Walking along the path that led straight to the teachers’ dormitory building, Chen Yu was feeling very worried.
“This is too scary…”
Subconsciously, Chen shuddered. Then, he took a deep breath and, willing his mind to get rid of those nonsensical thoughts, picked up his pace.
It didn’t take long before he walked into the teachers’ dormitory building. He stopped in front of the door of his homeroom teacher’s dormitory and knocked on the door.
“Knock-knock.”
“Is that Chen Yu? Come in.”
Chen Yu pushed open the door and saw that his homeroom teacher was sitting in front of his work desk in that clean, tidy room, marking test papers.
Even if it was a high school with “Martialism” as its main subject of focus, there were still written examinations.
Because combat intelligence was also an important component of a person’s military capability.
The homeroom teacher turned around and cast a fleeting glance at Chen Yu, but his hands didn’t stop moving. Then, he said, “Put the bedding under my bed. When we get back after school ends tonight, I’ll make you a mattress.”
“Teacher.” Chen Yu put down his suitcase and said, “Let’s forget about it. Your room is way too small. It’s going to be too crowded with two people in here.”
“If that’s what’s making you reluctant to stay, then you can sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep on the floor.”
“Do you even hear the words that come out of your mouth…” Chen Yu was a little embarrassed and sat down on the bed. “Fine, then I’ll listen to you. I’ll sleep on the bed.”
“…” The homeroom teacher’s hand that was holding the pen suddenly started to tremble.
Chen Yu said, “Thank you.”
The homeroom teacher: “…” (speechless)
Standing up, the homeroom teacher turned around and cast a sidelong glance at Chen Yu before asking, “You think you’re very humorous, don’t you?”
“No, don’t get angry.” Chen Yu explained, “I’m just used to sleeping on a bed. And this led to my developing a nasty condition. If I don’t sleep on a bed, I’ll cough.”
“If you’re not used to it, then leave!”
“That’s right!” Chen Yu immediately scampered to his feet, picked up his baggage, and made to leave.
His homeroom teacher immediately flew into a rage and yelled, “Chen Yu! You dare to leave!”
Of course, Chen Yu dared to leave.
Not only did he dare to leave, but he also dared to run.
Pushing open the door, he took big strides with his long legs, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped off to a distance more than ten meters away…
But the homeroom teacher was a warrior, after all. He caught up to Chen Yu very quickly, and then, he carried Chen Yu back in the same manner he would a chicken.
“Do you believe I’ll hang you from the ceiling?”
“Yes.”
“So, are you going to sleep on the bed or on the floor?”
Chen Yu sneered. “Since you don’t want me to sleep on the bed, isn’t this question redundant? Don’t you find yourself hypocritical?
“I’m giving you one-on-one tutoring for free, and also, it’s really quite nice of me to let you sleep over! How can you still be so defiant?”
“I didn’t even want to come in the first place, alright? Anyway, you asked me —my answer is I want to sleep on the bed.”
“Do you want me to make you a bed in the bathroom?” The homeroom teacher threw Chen Yu down and turned around to close the door. Then, he pointed at the floor and said, “Then I won’t ask you anymore. In the future, I’ll sleep on the bed, and you’ll put some sheets on the floor and make that your bed.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Chen Yu sighed and said, “Teacher, I’ll just be honest with you, then. I’m the type of person who snores in the middle of the night while they sleep. I grind my teeth, burp, fart, and anything else you can name. I do it all.”
“I’m okay with that.”
His homeroom teacher waved his hand dismissively and sat down in front of his desk again to finish grading the test papers. Then, he said, “Those problems that you mentioned, I have them too. The two of us shouldn’t dislike each other.”
Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)
His homeroom teacher said, “Besides, I have one more to add to your list. I often sleepwalk.”
“…”

“Why don’t you just make me a bed in the bathroom…”
