Ye Qiu, reborn as the King's Avatar, and his younger brother and sister-in-law Su Mucheng

Chapter 38, Glory, First Update: Taking Chen Guo's Father to the Doctor!
Just as Ye Qiu was about to lead Su Muqiu forward to greet Chen Guo, he saw Chen Taohai coming down from the second floor.

"You two are here! Perfect timing. Come, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Chen Guo." Chen Taohai pulled Chen Guo forward to introduce her.

"Hello, I've often heard Uncle Chen talk about you. I'm so glad to finally meet you today. You really are a great beauty!" Ye Qiu greeted Chen Guo with a smile.

"Guoguo, hello," Su Muqiu greeted her quickly, though she seemed a little shy.

"Hello, I often hear my father mention you." Chen Guo smiled and glanced at the two of them, her gaze lingering on Su Muqiu for a moment longer.

"Actually, Guoguo comes back every month during her monthly break, but you two have been working all night, so we haven't seen each other until now. This time we finally met."

Chen Taohai smiled, his eyes hinting at a conciliatory gesture. "You young people chat a bit more. I'll go get some food, and we can have a bite and a drink later."

After spending time with them, he felt that Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu were both very good people.

However, he preferred the intelligent Ye Qiu, so he wanted to match Chen Guo and Ye Qiu up.

However, he didn't know that Chen Guo had developed feelings for Su Muqiu after just one meeting.

One is that Chen Guo and Su Muqiu are about the same age.

Although both of them had handsome faces, Ye Qiu appeared more shrewd, while Su Muqiu looked honest and simple.

Furthermore, Su Muqiu's face was full of sunshine, a quality that is most attractive to young girls.

After Chen Taohai left, Ye Qiu and the other two chatted idly.

"Why are there so few customers in the internet cafe today?" Ye Qiu asked curiously, glancing inside.

At this time of year, the internet cafe would already be packed with people, especially after his and Su Muqiu's fame skyrocketed. If they didn't have their own seats, the two internet cafe managers might not even have a computer to use.

But today, more than half of the seats in the internet cafe are empty.

"Honor of Kings had a last-minute update at noon today, so many people logged off and went home," Chen Guo explained.

Although she doesn't play Honor of Kings, most of the customers in the internet cafe do, so she naturally knows a bit about it.

At 10:00 AM, the internet cafe was quite crowded, but at 11:30 AM, Honor officially released a temporary update announcement, and then at 12:00 PM, Honor Games shut down for maintenance, and many customers logged off and went home to sleep.

Ye Qiu nodded: "Oh, I see. What content has been updated?"

Chen Guo shook her head: "I don't know, I don't play."

"Want to try it out?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

In the original novel, Chen Guo only started playing Glory when the fifth server opened.

She probably started playing after she took over the internet cafe.

Therefore, at this point, Chen Guo should not have been interested in Glory.

Chen Guo shook her head: "Let's not. We should focus on our studies now."

Before Ye Qiu could speak, Su Muqiu said, "That's right. Only those of us who are uneducated play games. Studying is the best way out."

"Hmm, why don't you two study anymore?" Chen Guo asked Ye Qiu and Su Muqiu curiously.

Ye Qiu laughed and said, "What's so good about studying? After you graduate, you'll still end up working for someone else. That's why I started working early and saved myself twenty years of hard work."

Chen Guo chuckled: "Pfft! You're so funny!"

Su Muqiu rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu: "You have the opportunity to study but don't want to. I would like to study, but I don't have the opportunity."

Su Muqiu actually really wanted to study.

Unfortunately, the passing of his parents led him and his sister to go to an orphanage when they were young.

Although orphanages offer education, it's vastly different from attending a regular school.

"Why don't you have a chance? Don't your parents care about you?" Chen Guo looked at Su Muqiu curiously.

“I don’t have parents; they died when I was very young,” Su Muqiu said calmly.

"Ah! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to." Chen Guo was flustered, and there was a hint of heartache in her eyes.

Her mother also passed away early, so she often felt pitiful, having lost her mother at a young age and lacking maternal love.

But unexpectedly, Su Muqiu didn't even have a father, and she suddenly felt that she was much happier than Su Muqiu.

Su Muqiu smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I don't even remember what they look like anymore." During those years in the orphanage, he did miss his parents.

But he eventually got used to it and came to terms with it, so he left the orphanage with his younger sister.

However, seeing Chen Guo's guilty expression, Su Muqiu immediately changed the subject: "Let's not talk about these unhappy things. By the way, Guo Guo, which school do you go to?"

“XXX School,” Chen Guo said.

Su Muqiu exclaimed in surprise, "A top-tier high school? Your grades must be excellent!"

Chen Guo smiled with a hint of pride: "It's alright, I hope I can get into a 211 university in two years!"

"Guoguo, may I call you that?" Su Muqiu asked.

Chen Guo chuckled: "Pfft, haven't you already called me twice?"

Su Muqiu scratched his head: "Hehe, I was a bit presumptuous, but I was afraid you'd be angry."

"Why would I be angry? My dad always calls me Guoguo, it's very affectionate," Chen Guo said with a smile.

Su Muqiu smiled foolishly, while only Ye Qiu's eyes flashed with a light.

What Chen Guo meant was that she didn't consider Su Muqiu an outsider!
The clueless Su Muqiu certainly didn't understand the hidden meaning in Chen Guo's words.

However, remembering Chen Taohai's condition, Ye Qiu tentatively asked, "Guoguo, Uncle Chen doesn't seem to be in good health. Do you know anything about his condition?"

Chen Guo nodded: "I had a check-up the year before last, and I was diagnosed with a bit of myocarditis. I occasionally experience palpitations and coughing."

Did you have a physical examination this year?

"No."

"I think that no matter who we are, whether it's Uncle Chen or you and me, we should all have a comprehensive physical examination every year. This way, we can be more at ease about our health. People like Uncle Chen should have regular check-ups even more. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, I talked to him about it last year, but he didn't want to go. He said he was feeling better and it was nothing to worry about."

"That won't work. How about this: after we eat, we'll go to the hospital together for a check-up. Anyway, we can't play Glory right now," Ye Qiu suggested.

Chen Guo readily agreed: "Sure, if you all come together, and my dad doesn't want to go, you can just drag him there by force."

Ye Qiu couldn't help but chuckle: "Haha, you said it yourself. When we really get cocky later, don't try to argue."

Chen Guo laughed and said, "Why should I argue for his health?"

Just as the three were chatting happily, Chen Taohai returned with a lunchbox.

"Hey, you seem to be having a good chat. I could hear your laughter from outside. What are you talking about?"

Chen Taohai was carrying several large bags, containing lunch boxes, vegetable boxes, beer, and drinks.

Chen Guo said, "Dad, we were saying that after dinner, we'll go for a physical exam together and get a comprehensive check-up."

"Why would you need a medical checkup?"

"You need to understand your own body. Even though we are young and healthy, we can't guarantee that we won't get sick. Getting a checkup will put your mind at ease, won't it?"

Chen Taohai thought it made sense: "Okay, then you can go to the hospital for a check-up later, and I'll pay you."

"Uncle Chen, you should come with us too," Ye Qiu said.

Chen Taohai shook his head: "What would I do there? I'm perfectly healthy."

“We know you’re healthy, but we’re just going for a checkup, not to see a doctor. What are you worried about? Even if you’re healthy, you still need to get checked out,” Ye Qiu reassured him.

But he couldn't persuade Chen Taohai at all.

Seeing this, Chen Guo immediately grabbed Chen Taohai's arm and shook it, saying, "Dad, please come with us!"

Chen Guo pleaded, and Chen Tao Hai had no resistance to it, so he could only quickly agree: "Okay, okay, let's go together after dinner!"

"But now, you should eat more."

"okay!"

The three of them are overjoyed!
