"Ho?" Chief Li Yang caressed his chin with interest. "Who is it?"
"My new roommate."
Li Minghao said as his fingers flew over the keyboard, logging onto the database. He then typed Chen Jingyun's fake identity in the search bar in one second.
All the Qin Yun's in the country appeared, from all ages and places, but he only needed one of them. He narrowed it down to only the people born within the province with that name. The extensive list went down to a few hundred.
He once heard the little guy never went out of the province. She must be local.
Next, only those that were around her age were left. The rest was filtered out.
Now there were under fifty Qin Yun's.
The soft sounds of the keyboard danced in the air like a gentle breeze.
Quickly sweeping through the profiles, Li Minghao skipped on the ones that didn't match Chen Jingyun's face. He was fast and didn't linger on unrelated profiles.
Watching his grandson look diligently for the new roommate, Chief Li Yang began to wonder what kind of person that person was.
"Did the kid do something bad?"
"No." Li Minghao answered with ease. He remained a steady concentration. "I'm just curious about something."
Finally, he stopped at one profile, his eyes scanning the whole screen in one go. The picture of an innocent face, squeezable cheeks, catty eyes, and a little smile was displayed. The person in question looked very cute and someone even he wanted to dote on.
Looking at that picture, one couldn't tell if it was a girl or just a boy who had too many feminine features.
Ah...nowadays, flower boys are on the rise. Maybe that's why Chen Jingyun wasn't discovered yet.
The only problem was that her face blurred the lines completely.
Underneath that cute photo, all of Chen Jingyun's general information was displayed. Li Minghao didn't read it all though. He only focused on one thing.
There, the word 'Male' stared back at him with innocent eyes. As if it was there all the time and nothing changed.
Li Minghao didn't know whether to laugh or get his brain checked. Was his perception of things damaged?
Did those two, Luo Shao and Su Long, spike his drink a little bit without him noticing?
Impossible.
There was no way he... he didn't feel something.
"What did this kid do?" Chief Li Yang watched as Li Minghao went through a mental breakdown.
What got him so confused?
Li Minghao didn't answer immediately.
What was he going to say?
Oh, I thought my roommate was a girl, so I am checking their gender in the most subtle way I can.
Not a chance.
"I was wondering how old he is." Li Minghao blatantly lied, his eyes eyeing Chen Jingyun's birthdate.
"He must be fourteen or something." Chief Li Yang laughed. He found Chen Jingyun's face resembling one of a kid.
Li Minghao shook his head.
"He's going to be 18 in a couple of months."
"Oh?" Chief Li Yang shifted his eyes to Chen Jingyun's birthdate in shock.
"Well, he is certainly much cuter than you were as a kid." Chief Li Yang shrugged, poking fun at Li Minghao.
Such stone-cold face, not giving anyone a chance to squeeze his cheeks or ruffle his hair. Only his dear mom, and only her.
Chief Li Yang shortly grieved the loss of having a cute and friendly grandson that doted him back.
Maybe if this rascal falls in love in a couple of years...
Bah! That is if he falls in love!
Chief Li Yang said goodbye to his lineage with tears.
Beside him, Li Minghao was clueless to what had gone through Chief li Yang's mind. Instead, he was thinking about what his next move would be.
From day one, he had suspicions about Chen Jingyun but they were refuted easily with the information displayed on the database.
Yesterday, when he was carrying her, he had perceived her body shape. It was unlike anything he had seen on a boy.
And... Why would a boy wear a bra?
So many questions...
Shaking his head, Li Minghao made it a point to just ask Chen Jingyun, the little guy. When he goes back, he will corner her and ask what was up.
Meanwhile...
Chief Li Yang was wondering if he will have to call a matchmaker... or trick his grandson into blind dates.
Ah, no... no blind dates. Those always go wrong with Li Minghao's cold personality. Especially with girls...
Just who taught him to be so averse of girls?!
"Ah-Hao." Chief Li Yang said slowly and with concern.
Turning to his grandfather, Li Minghao hummed.
"Hmm?"
"When are you going to get a girlfriend?"
Li Minghao's face quickly turned dark, his eyebrows twitching.
"Forget about lunch, grandpa. I am going back."
"N-no wait!"
