Chapter 4: The Family Trip

Location: Taiwan Time: 8:13 AM

Then, if I’ to be unlucky for a hundred years because of that strange cat’s sentence, it’d take et over it

“Prince Chang Ge said that you will live for a hundred years, not be unlucky for a hundred years; how many times do I need to explain it!?” With a “pa,” so me shrink away from the sidewalk on the spot

Since that night, several days passed again, and soon theto board the shi+p arrived

“Senior, what are you doing?” Early in the e cardboard box that looked very sih the hall into the guest roo in for the past few days

“Restua just helped me sendhis room, Senior opened the cardboard box, and inside were a few sets of casual wear and formal clothes, “Since I was continuously called around while I was in your house and didn’t have tiet them, I asked Restua to help ht”

Eh, you actually told Restua to help send you home delivery!

I suddenly had a hard ti to make a delivery

“Why couldn’t he do it? He’s the dorerWhenever the dorm has a problem, he’s the one they look for in the first placeThere’s nothing strange about it” Senior issued an excuse that was suspected to be quibble

There weren’t much clothes inside the boxAfter Senior si nearby, and at the very bottoOn the white box was a gold painted lineTaking out that little box and looking at it for a moment, Senior handed ave”

Oh oh! An Elf’s desserts!

I took that box and opened itFrom inside came a sweet smell, and yet I couldn’t say what kind it wasIt felt like a flowery fragrance, but it wasn’t the smell of manmade perfume

The box was separated into two sidesIn total, it contained twelve transparent things that looked very much like jelly

“These aren’t jellyThey’re a type of Elven dessertthe zipper in his backpack, Senior added this note

What kind of grass can ar?

[T/N: Type of gelatinous substance ae]

But this was actually see-through; it didn’t look like agar at allEach jelly had different flower petals inside, and some of them were pink fibers

“The place where Elves live have transparent flowers?” I stared at that transparent petal jellyThe whole thing felt very mystical

“That’s a flower species unique to the land of ice and snohere certain Elves liveIt’s usually rarely seen”

Oh, so that’s how it is

“Are you giving this tothe box, I was very doubtful

“Nonsense, why else would I give you it!?” Senior rolled his eyes at me, then sat down on the bed, “However, since the petals inside are all freshly picked, it’s best to eat them while they’re still fresh”

“Oh, this shouldn’t be a proble the car to the shi+p location later anyway, so everyone will probably be able to finish this quickly in the car” It’s still a long ride before we get to the port area, so there’s lots of time to kill

But speaking of which, it’s already the day we have to leave; how come a certain someone still hasn’t appeared yet?

Just when I had this question, a very faed on the floor of the room, then that person who still hadn’t arrived yet directly leaped out

“Hey! Yang~Such a coincidence!” Coincidence your head, don’t just use the teleportation array into explain it, you!?

The five-colored rooster head who suddenly appeared was carrying a big backpack, “When I went back hos on the way” He broke into a wide sift box froht away”

Looking at the words “cooked seafood cold platter” printed on the gift box, I fell silent

You’re telling us to eat seafood cold platter in the car, is that it?

“Eh, your classmate’s here too?”

Just when I was staring blankly at the cold platter giftbox, a certain voice noiselessly popped up all of a suddenI was co Yue, who appeared without warning, “When, when did you come?” Scared me half to death

“Just calanced at me, and coldly snorted: “Dad said to hurry up and come downstairs if you’re readyIt’s alht now”

“Your family has a car?” Unexpectedly, Senior actually asked this question

“Of course we have, when my dad went on business trips before, it was sent to someone else’s house for maintenance” How is it possible for us not to have one? We can still be considered a middle-income household at any rate, “Because no one in our family, not even oes on a business trip, it’s always put with someone else, and taken it back when he returns”

Senior nodded, with a so-that’s-how-it-is kind of expression

“Yang Yang, what’s that in your hands?” Ming Yue looked at the gift box in my hands

“Uh, the seafood cold platter that Ziray brought backI think we’ll have to eat the theht?” Fortunately, the cold platter doesn’t seem to have a lotSix people should be able to quickly eat them all

“Who would eat cold platter in the car? You think we’re on a mobile restaurant?” My sister uttered very blunt words

“Why can’t you eat them? This is delicious” The five-colored rooster head issued a tone like my sister doesn’t kno to savor delicious food, “I already ate more than a dozen of them at home”

…Turns out this is your leftover gift box?

Speaking of which, does your faive away? I’ve honestly never seen it hereIt was only after carefully feeling it that I noticed the whole box was still cold up till nowThere doesn’t sees inside had lost heat

A natural refrigeration incantation?

What kind of spell is this to be able to be applied on it!?

“Yang Yang, are you guys finished? Coht after we all fell silent, my mom’s voice came from the stairs below: “Remember to turn off the power supply upstairsThe doors and s have to be locked too!”

“Okay—-”

After replying, I quickly ran back to et my backpackMy sister followed behind me and directly went downstairs: “Senior, Ziray, what are you doing?” After gettingin front of the guest roo a crystal before the door to do who knohat

“Giving the house so by the side, the five-colored rooster head answered me like this

…It can’t be that e return, we’d see the house turned into a robot wrecking havoc nearby?

“It won’t do that!” Senior directly threw the crystal in his hand atthe atuard the houseSo as long as the person breaking in isn’t a resident of the house, they will be…and then they won’t ever dare to touch this house”

Senior, please don’t mute yourself

And don’t use crystals to throw at peopleIt hurts, it really hurts!

I picked up the white crystal that fell on the groundCoh, itvery expensive, I still won’t be very happy if you throw it at me!

“Yang Yang, hurry up and co by the stairs

“Alright!”

After going out the door, I once again saw my dad’s car at our house’s entrance

Because of advocacy for the need to give children a lot of space, my family’s car isn’t that type of little fae van, the kind that can carry nine people in totalThe car was divided into three rows of seats in the front, middle and back

“Get in quickly, it’s easy to get into traffic ja vacationWe have to hurry a bit” After my mom piled the backpacks in the back, she rushed the bunch of us kids to the rear seats, herself sitting in the passenger seat

From start to end, the five-colored rooster head had been very excitedAs soon as he sat down, he looked at the stereo in front with shi+ny eyes: “Can you put on music?”

“Sure? What do you want to listen to?” After everyone sat down and an to slide forward

“This” Taking out a black CD cover from his backpack, the five-colored rooster head passed it to the front: “I want to listen to this”

Opening the box, my dad put the CD into the car stereo

The , the kind that only electronic floats would have…cheery music of the early decade immediately drifted out

“Turn it off!” Ming Yue made the first protest

“What is that sound…” Senior covered his ears and spat out utterly disgusted words

“Dad, I beg you, please turn it off quickly” I simply can’t stand that terrible sound

Not saying anything at all, a stupefied blank look appeared on Mom’s face

In less than a few seconds, the er, “Zi, Ziray, I think it’d be better to switch to so else” The first one to bear the brunt of it, Dad’s head was full of black linesThen he took the CD out and returned it to the five-colored rooster head

“Eh, you guys don’t like listening to this? This is what someone sent me” The five-colored rooster head looked at everyone with an innocent expression

“Eh, you guys don’t like listening to this? This is what someone sent me” The five-colored rooster head looked at everyone with an innocent expression

“We can’t get used to it at all…” What’s with that shrill voice at the beginning just now!? It can’t be that this issomeone off on a journey!?

“Tsk, honestly, when you’re going out to play, you should listen to this sort ofaway the music at the side, the five-colored rooster humphed

People usually wouldn’t listen to this sort of ht!?

Afraid that he would take out a second disc, my er’s resounding voice quickly washed out the atmosphere of the murder case that almost happened just now in the car

“Ah, that’s right, it’d be better if we hurry and eat these things” I took out the desserts Restua sent and the five-colored rooster head’s seafood cold platter

“Xiao Yue, there are sos in the back for you to put trash in” My iene

Ming Yue quickly opened the garbage bag

“This type of dessert can be directly eaten with your hands” Senior told us how to eat the Elven dessert

“Yeah” I grabbed a jelly, and unexpectedly, I found that it really wasn’t jellyIt just looked very siot from my hand was more like a pastry, “Mom, Dad” I passed the dessert box to the frontMo over to feed Dad one

Handing the dessert box to the others, I took a bite out of that purple-petalled transparent pastry in my hand

At first, when I started eating it, it was a bit like a cold glutinous cake, but not very sweetAs soon as I bit into it, it instantlylicorice flavor

“This is deliciousYang Yang, which one of your schooloes on a business trip, I can try finding it” Dad gave a high appraisal of the Elven dessert

Sorry Dad, but I think there’s probably no way you will ever be able to go on a business trip there in your lifetime

“Uh, I don’t know either” With black lines falling down, I could only give an vague answer

“Chu, try this” Biting a blue leaf, Senior pointed to that transparent petal dessert

There’s a difference in the transparent taste?

Looking at that pastry with faintly-seen fibers, I was a bit doubtful

“Yang~if you’re not eating it, I’ll eat it” The five-colored rooster head sed one in one bite, then reached his claw over again

“No need, I can eat itup that transparent petal pastry, I gave the re few in the box to the five-colored rooster head

On closer inspection, that pastry gave off an evenThe petals inside seeh for you to see the borders and a bit of so I suspect is frost

Is it okay to give ht novels, doesn’t this only increase one’s powers by a hundred years if it’s given to martial arts experts?

“So longwinded, are you going to eat it or not!?” Senior gave lare

“I, I was just about to eat it” Hastily stuffing that transparent thing into my mouth, less than half a second later, I immediately felt a different taste from last time, correction, it should be that it has no taste

This pastry was al was cool, and from head to toe, I cooled doith itAfter I sed a bite, there was a bit of an unknown aro time; I felt comfortable and refreshed from head to toe

“This tastes great…” Not at all like the one just now

“See, this is different” Senior curved into a very faint smile

“Different?” The five-colored rooster head i~You actually ate it! Spit it out!” Tossing aside the empty box, I saw those malicious claws reach toward me

“I sed it down already!” It won’t do if I’ht! I immediately covered my mouth and escaped to the space in the back

“I don’t care, I want to eat a different one too!” Grabbing my pants, the five-colored rooster head, who simply couldn’t be communicated with human words, made an evil declaration

“Go look for Restua next time” It’s not like I was the one who put a different one there!

Co like it was none of their business, Senior and my sister actually opened drinks in thewhether or not I would be beaten by an assassin until I threw it up

“I don’t have a good relationshi+p with him” The five-colored rooster head very sadly said

What the hell does that have to do with me!?

“That’s right, the cold platter should be taken out and eaten first, otherwise they won’t be fresh if left for too long” I iift box and said

“That’s right, the cold platter should be taken out and eaten first, otherwise they won’t be fresh if left for too long” I iift box and said

The five-colored rooster head’s attention was instantly transferred to the gift box“Oh yeah, we have to hurry up and eat themThis is deliciousThey even sent plates inside”

“Eh!” A typical cold platter gift box would send paper plates?

I opened that gift box, then discovered that there weren’t paper plates inside but rather, half a dozen slass plates and six little silver forks

You tell enerous! Say it!

“Be careful not to get the, “Or else they’ll go bad if they stay there for ten days”

…Is this the problem?

There were vacuus, s for six people to eat

“One of them is shrimp, and I think one is crab , and the s mixed with salad immediately drifted out

Shrimp? Crab?

“Uh…from the sealed world?” I timidly asked this question

“Yeah, where else?” The five-colored rooster head answered me in a very matter-of-course tone

I felt a bit sorry for the people who ainst those seafood tobox

“What ‘sealed world’ are you guys talking about?” Mom’s question immediately came over

“Uh, we’re talking about the gift box’s brand!” Taking advantage of the five-colored rooster head having not opened his mouth yet, I made the first move to forcefully cover hiswhat the “sealed world” and the “original world” is

“How strange, I’ve never heard of this brand”

“Ahaha…It’s new” I glossed it over with a head full of cold sweat

Sitting in the lass platePouring out the shrimp meat inside, she took the five-colored rooster head’s crab meat, put it in the other half and passed it to the front seats again

“Aiya, this plate’s quality is pretty goodWe can wash it and put it in the car later to bring home e return from the trip” My ift box

Taking the little plate that Ming Yue passed out, I carefully looked at it tooThe plate was honestly clear, very beautifulIt didn’t really seem like a cheap product

After dividing the servings as left over to the five-colored rooster head: “The reht?”

…Even my sister realized that the five-colored rooster head had a really big appetite

The five-colored rooster head grinned and took the bag, directly pouring them in his mouth to eat the seafood inside

The shrimp meat on the plate tasted a lot like a lobster cold dishThe crabat a ht now

Sitting next to my sister, Senior ate very slowlyIn fact, it should beslowly, since he chewed every bite for a long tiIt felt kind of like a little kid eating

“Chu…do you believe I would knock your head until you’re unable to think” Black eyes glared over fro

“Uh, I’ brain-dead

Probably because today wasn’t Saturday, there was quite a shway, but the traffic flow heading south was very big, and there was even the feeling of a traffic jam

That’s right, in the past, it was also around this tiSoet flooded with peopleWhen we celebrated the New Year last year, our family ran off to the east to playIn the end, ere stuck in a long traffic jaically perish on the bed as soon as we arrived at the hotel

[T/N: Kenting is one of the hottest tourist spots in Taiwan, famed for its beaches, scenery, etc]

That said, last year, who knohether it was because of bad luck that we got into a traffic jam so bad ere about to die, or because of a chain of car accidents at the very front…There shouldn’t be any probleht?

I keep feeling that the als definitely wouldn’t letme peacefully reach our destination for free with a ten day vacation

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly felt the hair rising on my skin

“Chu, stop it”

A sharp pain directly cane from my foreheadFor a second, ot what I was thinking about just nowInnocently raisinga fork was glaring at , eat it properly”

I’m sorry, it’s all my fault you were unable to properly eat, but if you want to quietly eat so, don’t eavesdrop!

A sharp pain directly cane from my foreheadFor a second, ot what I was thinking about just nowInnocently raisinga fork was glaring at , eat it properly”

I’m sorry, it’s all my fault you were unable to properly eat, but if you want to quietly eat so, don’t eavesdrop!

“What are you two being so noisy for?” Ming Yue glanced at the two of us, then put the clean plates in the plastic bag, “If you don’t finish eating soon, bacteria will start growing on the seafood”

Sitting in the front, Dad and Mo to the public broadcasting channel, they started to chat every now and then

Taking a fewthe shri: “It’s a bit stuffy in the carDo you want to open the s?” Having just finished eating, there were a lot of different smells in the car, and plus, since it was cold today, everyone had closed the s tightly; now I suddenly felt like the air inside the car wasme a little sick

Looking at the middle seats, my sister and Senior were next to the s, however, my sister made it clear that she didn’t want to open itThen I turnedhis food

“Um, Senior, excuse me, let me open the” I didn’t dare to ask him to put his food down and help me open theto let some air inI could only shi+ft my position to stretch over and pull open the nearbymyself

“Wait…” Senior’s words iot cut off

Then I saw thescene in history

The instant I opened the , the wind outside charged in wildly, then drew back outSitting beside the , Senior didn’t have ti black hair was coe amount of hair was rolled under the

“That hurts!” Pulling the hair that was rolled up by the , Senior lowered his head and let out a muffled sound

“I, I didn’t ht noould be as far away from Senior as possible, or else I’m sure he would definitely blast off my head

“Hurry up and pull his hair in, or elsein the front seats, Mom im him to have two hands to rescue his hair
