Chapter 54: The Reclusive Teen's Human Card Has Taken the Initiative (2)

In mid-air, Song Chuyi looked at the slender figure before him and sighed with relief.

It seemed that the humans in this world still had normal appearances.

His body slowly descended, tilting his head slightly, "What’s your name?"

His voice was androgynous, incredibly pleasant to the ear.

Shen Han stared blankly at the man before him, rooted to the spot.

A human card... something not even mentioned in books.

He vaguely realized this might be the only human card in the world.

But the shock of the human card paled in comparison to the impact of the man’s beauty on him.

He had never seen anyone so beautiful.

So beautiful that he couldn’t find words to describe it, only staring dumbfounded, trying to etch the man’s beauty into his eyes.

Seeing the youth before him remain silent, Song Chuyi took long strides, walked up to him, bent down, and poked his cheek.

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

Warm.

Such a thought flashed through Shen Han’s mind.

Just like a human.

"Shen Han," he finally spoke, "My name is Shen Han."

Song Chuyi’s eyes lit up. Shen Han? Wasn’t he his mission target?

This was truly effortless!

"Hello there, little Shen Han." He tapped his forehead, "I’m Song Chuyi. You can call me Brother Song or Brother Chuyi."

Finally, it was his turn to be the boss in this world!

Song Chuyi’s smile was radiant, blinding to Shen Han’s eyes.

"A’Chu," he said, "I’m not a child, I’m your master."

Song Chuyi: ???

Children these days are so advanced?

No, no, this isn’t a normal modern society; it’s a modern society based on cards.

According to the logic of this world, Shen Han indeed was the master of this card.

Realizing he had misunderstood, Song Chuyi’s long lashes fluttered, a hint of vulnerability showing on his face.

"But I don’t like being called master."

Shen Han’s heart skipped a beat, feeling as if the young man’s complexion had become paler than before.

A human card... was ultimately different from other cards, wasn’t it?

"Alright, no master," he conceded, "But I’m not a child either."

"Just call me by my name."

"Shen Han." Song Chuyi chuckled softly, sitting down beside him, his left hand resting on Shen Han’s shoulder, his fingertips lightly tapping twice.

"I’ve just been summoned by you. Let’s get to know each other first?"

Through the fabric, Shen Han could feel the warmth of the young man.

The same warmth as a human, perhaps even a bit hotter.

He lowered his head, pursing his lips, his voice muffled.

"Cards don’t need to understand their masters."

He recited the words from the book, "You only need to accept the master’s summon and fight for them."

Song Chuyi: …

He couldn’t help but slap his hand, "Child, you shouldn’t say things like that."

"You summoned me, which means, in a sense, I chose you."

"Isn’t it natural for us to get to know each other?"

Shen Han turned his head away, avoiding his gaze, and remained silent.

"You’re quite a difficult child to please," Song Chuyi muttered, an idea forming in his mind, his eyes twinkling, "Alright, you must be tired after summoning me. Rest for a while."

A flash of white light, and Song Chuyi’s figure disappeared from the room.

Feeling his disappearance, Shen Han’s heart suddenly felt hollow.

He widened his eyes and stood up, searching around frantically.

Gone.

The humanoid card... disappeared.

—

Song Chuyi took a stroll outside.

With his good looks and outgoing personality that could spark a conversation with anyone, he quickly pieced together Shen Han’s current situation from the butlers, servants in the manor, and even the black German Shepherd playing in the garden.

Shen Han was the ninth child of the Shen family, one of the four leading families in Lin City.

In this world, where card summoning was full of uncertainties, the wealthy and powerful chose to have many children to ensure their family lineage would not be broken.

As long as one child could summon a card of A rank or higher, the family's status would generally remain secure.

As the leading family among the four, the Shen family was even more prolific.

The family head, Shen Father, had nine children, with Shen Han being the youngest and the last to come of age.

His older siblings had all summoned cards, and two of them had achieved the astonishing S rank, making them top-notch in all of Lin City. So when it came to Shen Han, no one really expected much from his card summoning.

It certainly wouldn’t be an SSR.

That was too rare, so rare that no one would believe such a card could be summoned by a boy with autism.

Because of these low expectations, the Shen family treated Shen Han indifferently, just ensuring he had food and a place to live.

Especially after Shen Han was diagnosed with autism, his presence in the Shen family became even less noticeable.

When the servants in the manor mentioned Shen Han, they often used words like "autistic," "unfathomable," and "pitiful" to describe him. Almost no one liked him, and no one knew he had summoned a card today.

Incidentally, the big black German Shepherd was the only one in the manor who liked Shen Han.

After learning about Shen Han’s current situation, Song Chuyi returned to Shen Han’s bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Shen Han sat on the floor, surrounded by some books.

He had them all open, looking at them expressionlessly.

Song Chuyi walked over and asked curiously, “What are you doing?”

Shen Han suddenly looked up, his eyes seemingly lit up as he gazed at Song Chuyi.

“Where did you go?”

“I went for a walk.” Song Chuyi crossed his legs and sat down, propping his face with one hand, a smile playing on his delicate features. “The big black dog in the garden said he likes you a lot~”

Shen Han clearly paused.

“Cerberus?”

Song Chuyi: ?

“You mean the fat black dog rolling on the ground is Cerberus?”

Shen Han nodded.

“That’s my grandfather’s card, the three-headed Cerberus.”

Song Chuyi was unusually silent.

“It only has one head.”

“It’s said to manifest three heads during battle,” Shen Han explained.

Song Chuyi understood.

“That’s pretty interesting.”

This world was indeed fascinating!

He couldn’t wait to go out and see what kinds of cards everyone else could summon!

“Shen Han, let’s go out and play!”

He looked eagerly forward, “I haven’t been outside yet.”

Shen Han remained silent for a full minute. “I don’t have any money.”

Song Chuyi hadn’t expected to still have to worry about money in a new world!

“We need to find a way to earn some money.” He sat up straight, his expression serious. “Shen Han, do you have any skills that can help us make money?”

Shen Han didn’t respond again.

Song Chuyi leaned forward, looking at him earnestly.

“Do you have silent competitions here? I think you could win the championship.”
