Befriending the Most Powerful PersonCh6 - It’s nothing much

It wasn’t like Shao Ci didn’t understand what Chu Jin meant. After all, a useful attendant had run away. Chu Jin was the type of person who absolutely couldn’t accept it.

But Chu Jin wasn’t his capture target anymore. Shao Ci was too lazy to bother with his mood. He said coldly, “Chu Jin, I don’t think we have any relationship, so no matter how you treated me before, I don’t care too much either.” OmF4C8

Now that he didn’t need to do his daily task anymore, Shao Ci didn’t even bother with calling Chu-ge and simply used his name.

There was no need to force a relationship between two people with 0 favorability. It wasn’t any good for anyone.

Chu Jin didn’t believe Shao Ci in the slightest. He just sighed, looking at Shao Ci with a warm, forgiving expression. “I’ve been more busy recently… When I’m done with this zombie tide, I’ll make some time for you, so stop throwing a fit, okay?”

If Shao Ci really liked Chu Jin, and the target of his affections had coaxed him like this, he would definitely have agreed immediately. sKJQ2k

But Shao Ci practically erupted in goosebumps. He had never thought that Chu Jin would actually say such things without the slightest hesitation just to redeem his subordinate. He was really worthy of becoming a villain. His acting was enough to make people concede defeat.

“I’m not throwing a fit.” If it wasn’t for the fact that Shao Ci wasn’t prepared to offend Chu Jin, he might have started taunting with his true thoughts. He could only save Chu Jin some embarrassment. “You didn’t do anything wrong, either. I just feel like I found someone even more worthy of chasing… So, please leave, okay?”

Chu Jin looked as though he had heard a good joke. He didn’t take it to heart. “Don’t joke with me like this anymore. You thought that Yin Han was good to you? He’s just using you. You’ll only be safe at my side. I know you’re saying these things because you’re angry with me.”

Shao Ci thought he had already explained clearly enough, but Chu Jin was actually still acting so lofty, as though he was taking pity on Shao Ci. It was as though he had broken in to say these things out of sympathy.

“Yin Han’s way better than you.” Shao Ci couldn’t hold himself back. “Let’s just say that when I was at your side I was blind. Now, I’ve come back to my senses. In any case, there’s plenty of people by your side. Let’s just be done with this.”

“Yin Han’s way better than me?” Chu Jin’s eyes darkened, anxiety rising in his heart. Shao Ci shouldn’t be acting like this… Didn’t he like Chu Jin? Then why not just give him a kiss, it’d be just like a dream come true for Shao Ci.

And, although he was unwilling to admit it, he was anticipating this kiss.

Chu Jin pressed Shao Ci down, lowered his head, and moved to kiss him. SehGnU

Shao Ci didn’t even need to think about it to know that Chu Jin was kissing him to get him back on his side… Anyway, when he had been throwing himself at Chu Jin, he made Chu Jin think he was gay, so that’s why this was happening.

In that moment, Shao Ci’s reason had been scared off. He raised his leg, his knee aiming between Chu Jin’s legs at the thing below the neck that couldn’t be described, and struck ruthlessly.

As someone with class and to preserve his pride as a villain, Chu Jin stiffly forced back his miserable scream. His face turned dark, sweat dripping down his forehead. His senses were about to go berserk.

When Shao Ci returned to his senses and realized what he had done, he felt like he had gone crazy. He slipped out from under Chu Jin and dashed out of the room. 0Jwtsn

He didn’t have the slightest courage to look back. He was afraid that if he looked back Chu Jin would seize him and beat him to a pulp. If he got caught, he’d definitely get castrated.

Shao Ci didn’t even need to think about it. He dashed to Yin Han’s villa.

The subordinate guarding the door saw Shao Ci and began to smile, asking what he needed. He felt friendly to Shao Ci, who had healed him for free last time.

After Shao Ci expressed that he had come to look for Yin Han, he was let directly inside… It was completely different from when he had gone to find Chu Jin in the past, where he had to withstand all kinds of eye-rolls. Y86dHk

At first, there was nothing to compare with. Now, in contrast, his past life was just like a living hell.

Shao Ci came to Yin Han’s door and hesitated for a long time before he knocked on the door.

“I-it’s not that…” Shao Ci didn’t want to attract so much trouble and dodged the question. He looked at Yin Han with pleading eyes. “But—but I can’t live in my apartment anymore because of some problems, and I don’t have any crystals on me, and I don’t know where to go… Can I live here temporarily? If there’s something I can help with, I’ll do my best. My ability can be put to good use.”

His crystals were all in his apartment. Shao Ci didn’t have the guts to go back there and get them. It was all that scumbag Chu Jin’s fault.

“Of course you can.” Yin Han could tell Shao Ci was hiding something, but he didn’t question him. He just put down his book, propping his head on one hand. He said lazily, “But there aren’t enough rooms. If you want to stay, you’ll have to live in the same room as me.”

Shao Ci: “!” Who are you trying to fool! Even you know that the other villas have plenty of rooms to spare. Even after stuffing in all of Yin Han’s brothers there was more than enough room! And who knew why they were built so big before the apocalypse anyway. Qd4hSL

“If you don’t agree, I can’t do anything.” Yin Han raised his eyebrows, his dark eyes flashing with laughter. “I’ll have to let you go back.”

Shao Ci could tell Yin Han really wanted to force them to sleep together, but he was helpless. He could only bit his lip and say, “Fine, I agree…”

Isn’t it just being a human bolster pillow! What was hard about that, it was a million times better than going back to face Chu Jin!

“Then come here quickly and sit by the window to rest for a moment. The weather is great today,” Yin Han said. “Tomorrow we need to go out, so we should relax today.” 49kzsd

Shao Ci nodded, walking towards the rattan chair across from Yin Han. Halfway there, he noticed the rattan chair had been frozen by a block of ice… Hey how was he supposed to sit on it! Yin Han wasn’t trying to make things on hard him, was he?

Shao Ci looked at Yin Han in confusion. Yin Han leaned over, looking at him with a smile. He pointed at his lap. “Come on.”

Hey, what kind of shame play was this!!

Shao Ci nearly stumbled to the ground, but he was a veteran of a hundred battles. So what about this shame play! He walked over at the pace of a snail, bearing a heavy mental pressure, and sat on top of Yin Han. He could smell a cool fragrance. VpMURf

Yin Han looped an arm around Shao Ci’s waist, picking up the book with his other hand. He said, sounding as though he felt troubled, “I’m a little tired of reading now, how about Xiao Ci read the rest to me?”

Of course Shao Ci wouldn’t refuse. He picked up the book and was given a shock.

This was porn! And it was gay porn!

Who would ever believe that Yin Han, who looked like an erudite straight out of a painting, was actually reading porn! It was gay porn, who the heck brought this book! Weren’t they afraid that this straighter-than-straight Xdian protagonist Yin Han would fly into a rage? 0FleMA

Of course, Yin Han, who should have flown into a rage, looked extremely interested and not at all like he was angry.

“H-how do I read this…” Shao Ci couldn’t even look straight at the text. It was simply too ridiculous.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“You can just read it normally.” Yin Han leaned in close, speaking quietly into his ear. “Look at this paragraph, you can just read directly, hmm? If you don’t want to read, I can read, too.”

Then Yin Han, with his extremely attractive voice, began to read the description of gay porn aloud without even a sliver of embarrassment. zfoFgk

Frankly speaking, this pleasant voice was enrapturing even if it was reading off the contents of a cafeteria menu, much less something so obscene. It was even better reading this thing that was full of eroticism. Shao Ci, listening to it at a close distance, felt like he was about to react.

When Shao Ci realized what was happening, his face turned white. He couldn’t let Yin Han continue to read! He blurted, “Let me read, I’ll read!”

Shao Ci took a deep breath, lowering his head to look. The next paragraph was so obscene that he couldn’t even look at it properly, but he had already agreed, so he could only hold back his tears and stammer through the next part. He felt like he was being tortured.

After he was done reading a few pages, the book’s protagonist still wasn’t finished. Shao Ci was already full of cold sweat, wishing he could bury himself in the ground. He didn’t know if he was imagining it, but he felt like the parts where he was touching Yin Han had grown hot. C1mM2d

Moreover, Yin Han had quietly listened to him reading the story the entire time. Shao Ci could only hear the quiet sound of his breathing and his occasional gentle laughter, making Shao Ci’s face completely red.

“I-I think… it’s time to eat. I should go see how the food’s doing!” Shao Ci couldn’t stand it anymore. He put aside the book, trying to find an excuse to leave.

Yin Han grabbed his hand, lowering his hand to press a kiss on his fingers. He said gently, “Thank you very much for today. You let me have a wonderful afternoon.”

Shao Ci’s fingers tingled as though he had gotten a static shock where he had been kissed. He unconsciously shook off Yin Han, stammered, “I-I’ll go downstairs now…” and flew out of the room. LMBHRw

Dinner had been sent over. After all, S City’s base wouldn’t make the ability users they invited over to pay for the meals. The meal tasted quite good.

At dinner, everyone waited for Yin Han to finish eating before they began to eat. At first, Shao Ci wanted to copy everyone else, staying lowkey and waiting until the end to eat, but Yin Han insisted that he couldn’t eat by himself and pulled Shao Ci over to eat dinner together.

Shao Ci was worried that the others would be unhappy, but their fervor for Yin Han was absolutely unbeatable. As long as Yin Han did something, they would support him unconditionally. They would be good to whoever Yin Han was good to. They weren’t unhappy at all.

Nothing much happened after dinner and before they went to sleep. Just like yesterday, Shao Ci fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. g4mLaY

The next day, everyone had to go out to deal with the surrounding zombies.

To normal ability users, it was a duty they would have to risk their lives for. But as long as Yin Han waved a hand, he could get rid of a wave of zombies. To others, the scariest thing was a mutant zombie. To him, it was just a bigger bug.

Of course, S City’s base didn’t hesitate to give the most dangerous task to Yin Han. Otherwise, how would he be worthy of the price they paid?

Eliminating the zombies around them was something they could do along the road. The real assignment was for Yin Han to go to the research institute and get a precious set of research data. WEB9Tg

The research institute was in the outskirts, far from S City where the zombies were most crowded. Normally, it should be very safe, but after the year the zombies broke through, the newly created ability strengthening elixir from the new research institute became part of the surrounding mud and rivers.

After absorbing the elixir, the number of mutant zombies nearby dramatically increased. Although there weren’t as many zombies compared to the number at the heart of S City, their strength was incomparable. Almost none of the ability users they sent out were able to return alive.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

S City’s base had always thought of the ability elixir. Now that they had invited Yin Han, the zombie tide was secondary. The most important thing was getting the data from the research institute.

And that place… was the same place that the original final boss in the novel was born. ashPEk

It was lucky the author had dedicated a chapter to detailing how the zombie king was born in the original novel. Shao Ci wouldn’t know how to find the immature zombie king otherwise, though back then he had felt the author was simply trying to hit a word count.

They had to be careful when they were leaving the base. When workers unexpectedly spotted Shao Ci in the ranks, they were given a shock. Though everyone had heard the gossip from before, they still felt it was strange to see Shao Ci really join the force on their assignment without any regard for Chu Jin.

One of them paused, frowning. “Today, Captain Chu is also heading out on an assignment. Shao Ci, you’re actually not with him?”

This person’s name was Yang Fei. Before the apocalypse, he was Chu Jin’s good friend, and he had also become an ability user after the apocalypse. He had become one of the less important leaders by relying on his relationship with Chu Jin, and he reigned as a tyrant, never needing to leave the base and fight zombies. 8Nejfi

Shao Ci had healed most of Chu Jin’s friends for free in the past, but because of Chu Jin’s influence, they all acted as though they were better than Shao Ci and never gave him any face. It was as though Shao Ci was born on a step lower than them. Sometimes, when he healed a little slower, they would even mock him.

Yang Fei was the person with the most insufferable attitude. He acted like being able to help Chu Jin was an honor, and being able to heal him was also an honor.

Yin Han’s subordinates glared fiercely at Yang Fei. Their squad had finally gotten a strong healing ability user. They wouldn’t let someone poach him right before their eyes.

It wasn’t very likely for Yin Han to get hurt, but his subordinates were different. All of them were normal ability users. Moreover, Yin Han liked to leave his subordinates alone in danger regardless of what happened. He believed that only the ability users on the front line against life and death could grow quickly. If they shrank back because of this, then they weren’t suited to follow him at all. 2htLNG

But at the same time, Yin Han gave everyone most of the crystals he got from killing zombies and he gave them the best treatment in every other aspect, so nobody was especially resentful.

When Shao Ci heard Yang Fei’s words, he was shocked. “Chu Jin also went out? I’ve never heard about this before…” He had just been kicked in the important bits yesterday, was Chu Jin still okay…

“I don’t know what you were thinking. Since you’re with Captain, you should help him properly. Don’t go around making random messes all the time to make him annoyed,” Yang Fei continued, looking at Shao Ci with displeasure as though he had done something horrible. “If you want to stay by Captain Chu’s side, you should know what to do now.”

In the past, Shao Ci had to swallow his anger when he faced these people. They didn’t deserve to be called humans, but he didn’t have to endure it anymore. 9dc zp

“Thanks for reminding me.” Shao Ci looked at the person in charge with a slight smile. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have a single thought for your Captain Chu, and I don’t want to stay by his side in the slightest. I’ll leave now. Tell him not to bother me anymore.”

“What did you say?” Yang Fei had never thought that Shao Ci would actually retort. His temper flared. “What kind of attitude is this? Who do you think you are? You’re just a healing ability user. You really think that you’re so amazing, that people can’t go on without you?”

Yin Han’s subordinates were furious when they heard him. They moved to attack. Although they hadn’t known Shao Ci for very long, it was obvious that Yin Han cared a lot about him just based on his attitude. Besides, Yang Fei mocking Shao Ci was the same as mocking Yin Han’s taste. It would be stranger if they weren’t angry.

Shao Ci hurriedly blocked the people who were about to fight. He said calmly, “Whatever you want. In any case, you don’t think my ability is up to par, and I don’t have much to say either. In the future, go and buy medicine for yourself. It’s just like you guys said, medicine doesn’t even cost much, right?” Then he turned back again and added, “Right, there’s something I forgot. Please let Chu Jin know that in the future not to do something like breaking in to someone’s apartment and blocking them. It’s something only weirdos will do. I was really disturbed.” n6g7Cr

Yang Fei’s expression turned ugly, but he immediately sneered. “Hmph, you’re just a piece of trash selling your ass to get higher. You actually dare to slander Captain Chu. Why would Captain Chu break into your apartment? This is just completely unlikely. I bet you don’t even want to stay in S City…” 

Suddenly, an icy wind blew over him. Yang Fei’s skin iced over, his cheeks freezing until they were purple. He looked behind Shao Ci with wide eyes filled with terror. He began to quiver.

Shao Ci didn’t even manage to turn around when a hand set itself on his shoulder. Yin Han’s cold voice sounded. “Coincidentally, since you and your S City has this kind of attitude, then having Xiao Ci come to B City is perfect. Our B City is especially welcoming of ability users with strength. It’s nothing like your base doing disgusting things like squeezing out ability users.”

Yin Han’s subordinates didn’t expect that there were actually people who would toss aside such an incredible healing ability user. They rushed to talk over each other, each and every one of them saying that Shao Ci would be many times better off if he joined their squad. JyMduO

In fact, it was also because Shao Ci had always hid his abilities. The people in S City’s base all thought that he was a useless salted fish, or their attitudes wouldn’t be so nasty.

The other workers were watching the show. When they saw that it had taken a turn for the worse, they hurried to smile in apology. “Yang Fei drank a little too much earlier, so that’s why he’s saying these things now. Mr. Yin, you don’t need to bother with a drunkard.”

“Right, our S City’s ability users are pretty good. They don’t think lowly of Shao Ci at all.”

They only just remembered that the people who had mocked Shao Ci the other day at the banquet had really kneeled outside for an entire night before recovering. The ice on the mouths of the people who didn’t kneel didn’t melt in the slightest. They only succeeded in getting rid of it after tossing themselves around until they were practically half-dead. Their hearts turned to ice, thanking god that they hadn’t jeered at all earlier. 8MK kD

“Oh?” Yin Han raised an eyebrow. “Xiao Ci is someone that I value. I can’t just pretend like I didn’t hear them.”

Yang Fei trembled in fear, hate flashing through his eyes. As Chu Jin’s friend, he had never stopped playing tyrant. Today, he was taught an unexpected lesson by an ability user from another base, all because he looked down on Shao Ci. How could he accept it?

“If you want to apologize to me, I’ll accept it. I can forget about everything that happened before. How about it?” Shao Ci knew what Yang Fei was like, but he spoke like a saint.

As expected, his words drove Yang Fei into a fury. He couldn’t restrain his anger, retorting, “Shao Ci, do you think you’re so amazing because you’ve got a backer? You want me to apologize to you? Dream on!” In any case, he didn’t believe that Yin Han dared to do anything in S City! yjZzIF

What he didn’t know was that even Chu Jin had been thoroughly embarrassed at the restaurant before. Chu Jin had used his power to suppress the news immediately, so there wasn’t anyone in the base who knew about it.

With just those words, Yang Fei felt his entire body burst into pain. His body was incomparably cold, but his organs felt like they were on fire. The two drastically contrasting pains superimposed on each other. He wailed and fell to his knees.
