My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any ComfortingChapter 50

Master Qiao pulled it down hard and gave him a dead knot.

He Shen: “… cough.” yYkh5p

His hands might not be big but his strength wasn’t small.

Qiao Shao raised an eyebrow and asked him, “What does it look like now?”

This is clearly a murder scene.

However, the level of an underachiever was truly far from that of a god of learning’s. YGt6fd

He Shen loosened his necktie and gave the perfect answer: “The murder of a husband.”

Qiao Shao: “!”

Qiao Shao Shao blew his top, he said, “You tie it yourself, I won’t help you!”

Who would be willing to help this scoundrel who spoke nothing by nonsense!

4T93fa

He Shen saw that he had genuinely gotten angry and didn’t dare tease him anymore. “I was wrong.”

He sounded very sincere.

Qiao Shao won’t be fooled any longer. “No, I won’t tie it! I won’t ever tie it again!”

He Shen pulled on his wrist and said, “Okay, okay, I’m was really wrong. Actually …” IstliM

Qiao Shao was mad at him, but also curious as to what nonsense he could come out with. “En?”

He Shen couldn’t tie a necktie but he was an expert at loosening a dead knot. He easily undid his tie and let it hang loose. “I’m not a husband going out, but a father who’s going off to work …”

Qiao Shao knew that the no ivory would come out of this He scoundrel’s mouth!

“And you’re not my little wife standing on tiptoes to tie my necktie, but my good baobao.” He Shen finished his statement. 0UgRAd

Qiao Shao jumped and grabbed his necktie: “He Shen Shen.”

He Shen’s eyes were full of smiles: “En.”

Qiao Shao said fiercely, “You better believe that I’m about to strangle you!”

He Shen whispered, “If it were to be under baobei’s hands, to become a ghost would be a magnificent thing.” kiabcv

Qiao Shao suddenly wrapped his arms around his neck and pulled him down, forcing him to bend at the waist.

This abrupt closeness startled He Shen, because at this distance, if he moved forward just a bit, he could ki-…

“Oh…” During his moment of absent-mindedness, He Shen wasn’t able to dodge that little knee that came charging from below.

Qiao Shao saw that it had hurt, and felt at ease. “This is what you get for teasing me!” UZXHc

How dare he not be afraid of him? So what if he was tall and strong? Qias Shao had his ways to bring him down!

Who knew He Shen would groan and lean against the wall with his arms around his stomach?

Qiao Shao was surprised — he hadn’t hit that hard. Why did it seem like He Shen couldn’t bear it?

Qiao Shao felt somewhat guilty. He walked over and said, “Shen Ge, how can you be this delicate?”

It couldn’t be that he really downed him with that kick! YyWuVn

He Shen didn’t raise his head. He didn’t say anything. He simply kept his arms around his abdomen.

Qiao Shao went closer. “Did I hit something vital? I didn’t put in that much strength …”

“Painful.” He Shen uttered a word in a hoarse and low voice.

Qiao Shao was anxious now. He quickly helped him up and said, “What’s the matter? Did you have any wounds here?” iHImJq

Impossible. He’d seen it when He Shen had changed into his school uniform just now. There was nothing there except for those infuriating abdominal muscles.

He Shen shook his head. He held his hand and said, “It hurts.”

Qiao Shao quickly asked, “Should I take you to the hospital?”

It’s over! He’d kicked his best friend and caused internal bleeding! YHTvkM

He Shen said, “No need.”

Qiao Shao said, “I’ll help you to lie down.”

He Shen shook his head again.

Qiao Shao was anxious. “What should we do? You want to stay like this to recover?” eBUd2u

He really should have called an ambulance!

He Shen then took his hand and put it against his stomach.

Qiao Shao: “…”

He Shen, who has had kept his head lowered, looked up and winked at Qiao Shao. “With a little massage and coaxing, it won’t hurt anymore.” 4QoZEY

Qiao Shao: “…………………………”

Truth to tell, right now, Young Master Qiao really did want to kick him till he had internal bleeding!

Qiao Shao was about to pull his hand back, but He Shen held on tighter. “It really hurts.”

Qiao Shao: “Har har.” PCBJWq

He Shen sighed lightly and said, “I stayed up all night and missed both breakfast and lunch. My stomach was already empty, and then I got kicked …”

Qiao Shao’s anger instantly vanished once again.

That’s right……

This guy hadn’t eaten since last night. He must be so hungry, it was starting to hurt. J7WD1V

Qiao Shao pulled back his hand, but didn’t make trouble with him again. “Let’s go out and eat.”

He Shen stood still. “Necktie.”

Qiao Shao looked up and glared at him. “He Shen!”

He Shen raised his hand to his mouth and made a zipping motion. He won’t talk anymore. TO06Wi

In the end, Qiao Shao couldn’t resist against him and so he had to tie his necktie for him again.

This time He Shen didn’t say anything. He just hung his head and looked at him, his eyes extremely focused.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiao Shao didn’t know why, but his hands didn’t feel quite so nimble. It was as if they were covered in soft syrup.

Because the two had dawdled, it was already half past four by the time they arrived at the restaurant. Uf6p2B

This restaurant was internet famous and even at this time there were people coming in to have a meal. It was good that they came early and they were able to get a table without having to wait.

Qiao Shao had eaten at this kind of barbecue restaurant quite a few times already. Except that the restaurants he’d eaten at were more particular about their ingredients, like, ‘they had to be flown in from overseas that same day’ kind of particular. In addition, there was someone there to cook for them; someone who was an expert at heat control and judging doneness, so that there was no need to trouble the guests.

Of course, this wasn’t that kind of barbeque restaurant. Not only were the ingredients not the same, but the guests also had to cook the food themselves, though they did get to eat as much as they liked.

It didn’t look difficult and so Qiao Shao wanted to try it. But He Shen took all the cooking utensils and said, “I’ll do it.” dzLyXu

Qiao Shao said, “There are two tongs. We could cook it together.”

He Shen said, “But you’ve got short arms, what if you get burned?”

Qiao Shao kept quiet. “Fine, fine, fine, fine! You do it.”

And so, Qiao Shao, as was proper and to be expected as a matter of course, waited to be served meat. jd8N9S

He Shen gave him a plate full of meat, and when he saw him eat, asked, “How does it taste?”

Qiao Shao raised his eyes and threw him a look. “Is it possible for meat grilled by a man with long arms to taste bad?”

He Shen smiled and accepted his ridicule. “If it’s good, then eat more.”

Qiao Shao bowed his head to eat meat. Not only was it really delicious, even if it wasn’t melts in the mouth Japanese wagyu, it seemed so good that it whet people’s appetite. mWwrBd

Eating like this, Qiao Shao quickly became full. He looked at He Shen. “Aren’t you hungry?”

Why’d you give me all the meat?

He Shen then put the newly cooked ones on his plate, “I’ve also eaten quite a lot.”

Qiao Shao said again, “Hurry and eat, I’ll cook for you!” gt652M

All those things about long arms and short arms were forgotten.

He Shen refused to give him the cooking utensils. “I can just eat while I cook. You go get some fruits.”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiao Shao was surprised. “Where can I get it?”

He Shen pointed. “There’s a self-service area over there. It’s free of charge. You can just take whatever you want.” sm72E9

So that’s it! Qiao Shao stood up and said, “What fruit would you like to eat?”

He Shen’s answer was just as Qiao Shao expected. “Sweet ones.”

Qiao Shao ridiculed him, “You should changed your name to He Tang Tang!”

About this matter of getting a new “nickname”, He Shen just smiled, “… not as sweet as you.” dQyJ98

But it was said too late, and Qiao Shao, who went to get the fruits, didn’t hear it.

Qiao Shao tasted the fruits for He Shen and found that the watermelon and musk melon were the sweetest. The orange and grape were so sour, his teeth almost fell out.

So, he brought back a plate of watermelon and a plate of musk melon.

He was almost at their table when he found a girl standing there. 4dsMhR

Qiao Shao: “!”

There was a girl he didn’t recognize, was He Shen being hit on?

Qiao Shao didn’t want to bother them, so he hid somewhere to the side.

He looked the girl up and down and found that He Shen had great luck when it came to love. The girl was so beautiful. She had fluffy curly hair that hung down to her waist. The light blue dress she had on complimented her pale and smooth skin. Even the hand holding the mobile phone was slender and beautiful. 0F64NP

What a little beauty!

Qiao Shao then looked at He Shen again and couldn’t help staring dumbly.

This ‘He Shen’ was a ‘He Shen’ that he truly wasn’t familiar with. A ‘He Shen’ that Qiao Shao had heard about but never seen.

This was obviously the same person, but his temperament had completely changed. That considerate and meticulous manner was gone, and his tone had lost that teasing quality. And his eyes no longer held that look that showed he could tolerate anything. OyCYFa

He sat there, his eyes downcast, looking dispirited, overflowing with a cold aura that told people to stay away.

The girl was so nervous that she stuttered, “C-can I add you on WeChat?”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiao Shao gasped! She really was hitting on him!

Qiao Shao looked on silently. He’ll wait a while to make fun of He Shen. Unexpectedly, this guy didn’t even raise his head and said coldly, “I didn’t bring my cell phone.” E0Jg52

Qiao Shao: “…”

There were two mobile phones on the table!

The girl probably didn’t expect him to be so cold, but she had already come this far, so she wasn’t willing to give up so easily. She looked at the mobile phones on the table and said, “Isn’t that your mobile phone?”

“Oh,” He Shen said coldly, “I don’t have a WeChat.” 0tSiPy

Qiao Shao: “………”

What a horrible man!

The girl’s face turned pale, apparently she didn’t expect to be rejected so miserably.

He Shen asked expressionlessly, “Is there anything else?” LTaFIh

He hadn’t tried to conceal the irritation in his voice. He was obviously trying to drive her away.

“No …” The girl’s throat shriveled.

She hadn’t finished speaking when the man seated at the next table, stood up. “This is too much! Is it too much to ask to just give her your WeChat!”

The man seemed to be with the girl, and seeing the girl so stricken, he couldn’t bear to sit still. R2NmeM

He Shen raised his eyes and looked at him. “And what does she want with my WeChat?”

The man was rendered speechless by this question. “That’s … Just …”

Everyone knew what but it was hard to come out and say it!

He Shen said, “I already have someone I like. Should I be going around giving my WeChat to strange girls?” IzXWvV

The girl came back to her senses, bowed her head and said, “I’m sorry!”

She then turned around and ran out. The man threw He Shen a look and cursed, “What the hell.” He chased after her.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Qiao Shao, who was hiding, was also surprised for a moment. At first he was disgusted by He Shen’s bad attitude.

Now he was thinking about how this guy has someone he likes… Q D7tH

He had hidden it so well, he hadn’t had a clue!

  1. Thanks for the chapter! Looks like we are getting close to the big reveal in the summary, looking forward to it 🙂

  2. Mhm totally right about not having a clue

  3. It’s not that Brother Shen hide it so well, it’s just you being oblivious, young master Qiao 😁

    Thanks for the chapter ❤

  4. Yo, pissed off for no reason lol If someone doesn’t want to give others their contact information just accept it and piss off xD (Now I wrote piss off twice and it sounds strange :’D)

    Thx for the ch \(≧▽≦)/

  5. What ‘hidden it so we’ll’? More like blatantly serving if dog food to the masses 🤣🤣🤣

    Thanks for the chapter!!

  6. He Shen could try not being such an ass but I’ll keep the door open for him to explain himself a bit. Thanks for the chapter!!

    • How is he being an ass. He said he didn’t bring his phone. She could have saved face and backed out at that moment, but she stayed. He has no obligations to be nice to anyone much less a stranger. Also, he has someone he likes so giving out his information to random people could cause unwanted misunderstandings. Just because someone likes you doesn’t mean that you have to cater to them. All in all it’s his contact info and he’ll do with it as he pleases.

    • He was rude, that’s true. He probably could have simply rejected her without being so. However, it is also his private information that he has no obligation to give strangers. In general, isn’t it also rude to just go up to a stranger and ask for their contact info, especially in a setting like a restaurant where people can reasonably expect a certain amount of privacy between tables?

  7. I love this novel so much. Hahaha!

    Thanks for the great translation.

  8. I already there would be a punch line after that overdramatic act… but when I read it my mind still said..”pisting yawa! ka sweet jud uyy!”

  9. Well I don’t think he did anything bad. Some girls give a slap to strangers who want their number with the intention to flirt in my country. Now a guy can’t even refuse straightforwardly?

  10. LWKDJAKJZJAJJAIA I CAN’T WJSJJA QIAO SHOU PLS 😂🤣 he’s hidden it so well u didn’t know???? bulllllll… i call cap xD

  11. “He had hidden it so well, he hadn’t had a clue!” Yikes, does this mean more misunderstandings?! 😱

    Thanks for the chapter 💕

  12. I personally think that both HS and the girl came off as somewhat rude in their own way. The girl should’ve considered the place they were in. I mean, isn’t that a common sense? They were in a public place. There are people and she should have analyze the consequences. Also, HS obviously expressed that he is uninterested, but she still kept on pestering HS. Like girl, read the room. As for HS, I think his response was rude. I know that whether he wants to give his number or not is his decision but he could have rejected the girl properly. I’m not saying that he should gently reject her but he could’ve gave the girl some face knowing that they are in a public place. Again, it’s not his responsibility but hey, a little kindness to our fellow human being okay? I actually admire the girl’s courage.

    Anyways, this is an advice for us. We all are either hurting and healing from our own battles. Despite that, showing kindness or even the basic respect to our fellow being shall not be forgotten. Just because we are hurting doesn’t mean that we can hurt others as well. And for the people who have been hurt by others who were also broken, if you can, try to understand them. But undersanding them doesn’t mean you’ll invalidate your own feelings and just let them be. Everything’s so complex I can’t explain well. I’ll just leave this quote here.

    “I shall pass this way but once; any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” – Etienne de Grellet (1773-1855), Quaker missionary

  13. ‘ looking at the chapter. Hmm its chapter 50…Oh yesss He Shen hid his feelings very well. Every bit from 1st to 50th chapter we all got fed with ‘dog food’ 😂😂😂

  14. No, but like… I feel bad for the girl 💀 Because imagine you found someone cute and asked for their phone number, just to be rejected in such a way. You don’t even know why they’re so rude to you 😂 not like us readers lol

    • she kinda deserved it? like he was giving her a sign to leave when he said he didn’t have his phone with him. and again who goes up to a random stranger in a random restuarant filled with other people and not think that the stranger doesnt even care that she exists? and againthe girl was with a dude that kind of obviously likes her??
