We're recruiting a translator for this novel.
Join us!

One month before the college entrance examination, Xu Changzhou suddenly withdrew from school. The one who handled the withdrawal procedure for him was a caucasian man with a western-style suit. On the space between the thumb and index finger, there was a callus which was a mark of the long year of training with a gun.

The system sighed: “The hero is finally picked up by his family and the plot has moved a step further!” kPnSKc

Wen Ai: “This black suit looks so fierce!”

System: “Just a little brother. Not worthy to be afraid of.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Wen Ai: “Just a little brother is already this fierce! What will Xu Changzhou be like in the future…I knew I shouldn’t have said such cruel things in the first place. What should I do if he put a burlap sack on me in his revenge?”

The system bluntly said: “Be prepared. I feel like you will suffer.” xCH5NY

Wen Ai: “Don’t scare me! I’m terrified!”

System: “Isn’t it gonna be like that? The male lead’s attitude towards you in these past few months is simply…Tsk tsk tsk. This is why the feelings that did not abide by the plot are like a paper tiger. When the wind blows, it will directly fall down.”

On the night of the week before the college entrance examination, Wen Ai was called into the study by Father Zhao. When he came out, Wen Ai was holding onto the offer from Columbia University.

Not long after, Jiang Cheng’s phone call came.

Jiang Cheng: “Shuyan, guess what’s in my hand right now?
Wen Ai: “I guess it’s the same thing as the one in my hand.”

Jiang Cheng laughed: “I will continue to cover for your back in the four years of university!”

Wen Ai: “Come on! You also said the same thing before we went to high school. But in the past three years, it’s been Xu—cough cough. Then, I’ll take a bath first.”

Jiang Cheng: “En, good night.” 95J8ed

On the night when the college entrance examination was over, the class held a farewell dinner party. Several bottles of alcohol were devoured. Some of the tough guys who won’t be moved even if they were hit with thick poles hugged together and cried their hearts out. Jiang Cheng was also drunk. He stood on the table and spoke English. As he spoke, it became an Indian accent. The others laughed while hitting the tables so hard that they almost broke them down.

Girl C sighed while recording the phone: “Don’t know what type of drunk is gong-Xu…”

Girl A put down her beer bottle and put her two fists together, then moved them to attack each other. She then faced Girl C: “Have you seen it? It must be like this! First treat the shou like this  and like that, then like that and like this.” PqEb17

Wen Ai silently walked away with a black line on his face.

Jiang Cheng sent Wen Ai to his dormitory first. After putting down Wen Ai’s things, he hurried to his own dormitory. However, before leaving, he gave Wen Ai a new mobile phone, with the number already installed in it. t27pVP

After Jiang Cheng left, Wen Ai went around in the dormitory a few times and got himself familiar with the situation. The house configuration was still okay. There was a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, but the two bedrooms were relatively small.

Wen Ai gave a thorough cleanup for the vacated bedroom first, then moved his luggage in and laid out the daily necessities. After the cleanup, Wen Ai was already sweating profusely. At the moment he saw the time, it was already past ten o’clock in the evening so he went to the bathroom and took a shower. When he went out, he was wearing a cotton t-shirt and shorts, causing him to be whistled by his roommate who had just returned.

“Wow, if you go to our club, you will definitely be very popular.”

Wen Ai looked at the blond, brown-eyed flirtatious boy in front of him, and he stretched out a hand to him: “Hello, my name is Zhao Shuyan. Chinese. Your new roommate.” O17y8p

“I’m Russian and my name is very long. You can call me Danny.” Danny held Wen Ai’s hand and his thumb conveniently rubbed the back of Wen Ai’s hand: “Your skin is so smooth. I have never seen such a tender one in our club.”

Wen Ai withdrew his hand uncomfortably, then uncertainly asked: “What club?”

Danny winked at him ambiguously: “You will know.”

Danny was a year above Wen Ai, and he often spent the night outside. When he came back the next morning, his clothes were usually crumpled and there was an unpleasant alcohol smell on him. n7Xew6

After half a month, Wen Ai finally learned that the club Danny said was actually a gay dating club.

That night, when Wen Ai was awakened by the noise from the next room, Danny was making love with a man while screaming very unrestrainedly. Wen Ai couldn’t stand the noise and got up to knock on Danny’s door, hoping that they could keep quiet. Danny loosened his grip and helplessly told Wen Ai that moaning is a form of respect for one’s partner. Also, he couldn’t control his voice when making love, so forgive him for not being able to agree to Wen Ai’s request.

Wen Ai went back to his room depressedly and hid under the covers playing with his mobile phone because he couldn’t sleep. He then sent several chats to Jiang Cheng, roasting his “superb” roommate. Jiang Cheng never replied so Wen Ai guessed that he was partying with the foreign students again.

The next day at noon, Wen Ai was researching on his laptop when suddenly the door to the bedroom was knocked on. He opened the door and saw that Danny was standing at the door with a bloody nose and swollen face and he was sincerely apologizing for his behaviour the previous night. Furthermore, he swore that he would never bring people back overnight again and would try his best to keep his voice down even at normal times. After speaking, he even gave Wen Ai a standard ninety-degree bow. Ezr5Oa

Wen Ai was terribly surprised. Jiang Cheng’s action was very fast. He sent the chat last night and the problem was already cleaned up today. It’s just that he was a bit ruthless, making people’s face full of deep purple and bright red wounds.

Wen Ai turned his body to invite Danny in: “I’ll give you some medicine.”

Danny showed a look of horror on his face, and he stepped back as he waved his hand. It’s as if Wen Ai’s bedroom was an absolute restricted area: “No, no, no. How can I get in! This kind of injury will heal itself in a few days!”

Danny lifted his feet and ran away while Wen Ai was still stunned on the spot, wondering what Jiang Cheng did and how he scared people to this degree. Oq6wtV

Wen Ai called Jiang Cheng after closing the door, but it was not answered, so he did not continue to call Jiang Cheng.

It’s not until the afternoon that Jiang Cheng called him back. His voice was a little hoarse as if he had just woken up: “Shuyan, I played too hard last night and had just seen your chat. Send me a picture of your roommate. I’ll find someone to teach him a lesson.”

Wen Ai was silent for a while: “No need. He has already apologized to me.”

Jiang Cheng yawned: “That’s good. If the brat still made problems, just tell me!” laO02i

Wen Ai recalled Danny’s previous behaviour: “He probably won’t…”

Jiang Cheng: “I remember you had no class this afternoon. Where are you now? Let’s come out and meet?”

Wen Ai looked up at the surrounding skyscrapers: “I’m on Wall Street, just wandering around.”

Jiang Cheng paused for a while: “Oh…then you go back to university soon.” SAWIq5

After hanging up the phone, Wen Ai strolled down the street, thinking about Danny in his mind. After thinking about it for a long time, he could only guess that Danny provoked a powerful character so that he got a beating. Furthermore, the thugs did not identify themselves, and Wen Ai happened to have a beef with him last night, so Danny felt that Wen Ai hired people to teach him a lesson, that’s why he ran here to apologize.

En, the logic is tight. It’s also fair and reasonable. Full marks for him!

When passing by a hotdog cart, Wen Ai bought one. He sat down in a public seat and ate the hotdog leisurely.

System: “How brave you are to eat a hotdog in the male lead’s territory! Are you not afraid of being covered in a sack?” xycVz

Wen Ai pursed his lips: “What do you mean by his territory? Wall Street is so big, and his house only occupies a building. I can’t even eat a hotdog in public?”

System: “Yes, you can. You eat, you eat.”

Wen Ai quietly finished the hotdog, patted his belly contentedly, got up, and went back to the university.

Xu Changzhou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. It’s not until the figure his gaze was following under the building disappeared in the corner did he sit back at his desk. He still had a lot to learn now. Both the company and the gang had to be taken into account. LjT417

After reading the documents for a while, the bodyguard came in to report on the affairs of the gang. After it was done, Xu Changzhou called the bodyguard and asked him to buy a hotdog from the hotdog cart downstairs. Seven or eight minutes later, the bodyguard returned with the hotdog.

Xu Changzhou waved to him to ask him to withdraw from the room and turned on the phone while eating the hotdog.

What was displayed on the screen was a map of New York. A small blue dot slowly moved on it, and finally stopped in the dormitory area of ​​Columbia University.

Xu Changzhou stretched out his finger and poked the small blue dot, and with a gentle voice said: “Wait for me.” yE2LSa

 

T/N:

Xu Changzhou, you stal—cough cough. Get that burlap sack away from me!! So…the first move had been made. Good luck to you, Wen Ai~~

Btw, I saw that you guys are getting more pumped up after Xu Changzhou is blackening. Awww~~So that’s what you guys have been waiting for? Hahahaha the anticipation for yandere XCZ is high:blobrofl:  Wen Ai is going to eat his own medicine lol.

Thank you for all the comments in the previous chapter!! Love you guys:blobsnuggle: dbRfLG

Translator's Note

小弟. I think the system wants to say that he’s just a little/unimportant man. Perhaps like a little pawn or errand boy from a mafia gang.

Translator's Note

Like in the movie, the thugs usually put a burlap sack on somebody’s head/entire body then hit them hard repeatedly.

Translator's Note

Wen Ai’s name in this world is Zhou Shuyan.

Translator's Note

Yes, she really called Xu Changzhou with 小攻 as in the gong(top) in gong-shou (攻-受).

Translator's Note

受 as in the bottom.

Translator's Note

Translator's Note

留学生means students studying abroad. In this case, it’s probably the Chinese students that studied at Columbia University.

Translator's Note

As in being hit after his head was covered in a sack.
