Gu Ming Ren was dressed in a white shirt and casual pants, walking coldly towards him with a book in his right hand.
Lin Jiang stared at the expression of self-restraint on that face and his mind filled with images of him pounding into his body. A word appeared in his limited vocabulary: brute.
After that time, Gu Ming Ren left and hadn’t shown up until today, so he hadn’t had the chance to ask him how to define their relationship in school.
When they met face-to-face like this, should they greet each other? Or pretend not to know each other? After all, he was only someone who was selling his body, not someone worth having a name in front of Gu Ming Ren, an A-lister male god.
However, without waiting for him to ask, Gu Ming Ren had already answered with his actions. Expressionless, he brushed past Lin Jiang’s shoulder without even giving him a look.
Lin Jiang’s body stiffened for a moment, then a smile tugged at his mouth revealing two sharp little canine teeth.
Fine, he got it.
Lin Jiang found an empty seat and sat down.
The class and attendance-taking started. The old professor was charming and had a sense of humour. He flipped through the list and said, “Today’s classroom is full of spring. I see that it’s that beautiful flower that has attracted the bees and butterflies.”

The girls burst out laughing without reservations and they continuously cast admiring glances towards Gu Ming Ren.

Names like high-born nobility, reserved school grass and A-lister male god were all applied to Gu Ming Ren.
Lin Jiang heard and couldn’t help but sneer and ridicule him secretly. If not for his Ming Ge being recommended for direct admission and not needing to take the college entrance exams, would the title of science top scorer have gone to Gu Ming Ren?
Thinking of He Cheng Ming, Lin Jiang’s eyes darkened and he felt that he couldn’t face him. Regardless of him having nothing, now he had even become the prisoner of his good friend’s crotch. This layer of relationship made him unable to lift his head.
Therefore, he hadn’t contacted him. Only Gu Ming Ren’s number was saved in his new mobile sim card.
In a flash, the class was over.
Hao Meng came over and nudged him. “Let’s go and eat.” Lin Jiang picked up his book and followed Hao Meng out of the classroom.
Just after class, the canteen was full of people.
Lin Jiang’s young master attitude reared its head and he didn’t want to wait in line. He wanted to go out to eat but Hao Meng was a down-to-earth person and advised him, “It’s expensive to eat outside. The canteen has cheap and delicious food.”
Impatient, Lin Jiang blurted out, “I’ll treat you!”
But he regretted it once the words were out. What money did he have now to treat people?
Hao Meng immediately dragged him outside. “Then hurry up. There are too many people here.” Lin Jiang wanted to keep up appearances at all cost and he stuffed both hands into his pockets, pretending to be generous but internally worried to death.
Fortunately, Hao Meng was ignorant and didn’t rip him off too much. After they had lunch in a Chinese restaurant and he settled the bill, Lin Jiang realised that he only had two hundred yuan left in his card.
In total, Gu Ming Ren had transferred money to him twice — five thousand one time, and eight thousand the next.
After he paid his tuition fees and bought some daily necessities, due to his inability to curb his extravagance, he saw that the funds would be depleted soon and hadn’t expected that thirteen thousand yuan would run out so fast.
He stood in the street, squinting at the sun, dazzled.
Lin Jiang felt a little emotional. Since he was born, he never had to worry about money. His parents doted on him and barely controlled how much money he used, giving him however much he needed. Hence, he was so frustrated with his current situation that he couldn’t get over it.
His phone suddenly sounded.
Lin Jiang knew who it was without looking. No one knew his number except for Gu Ming Ren.
“Where are you?” The voice at the other end was very cold.
Lin Jiang walked towards the school. “Eating outside. I’m going back now.”
He didn’t know other boy’s intentions. Earlier, he had pretended not to know him. Now, he was calling to ask where he was. Were they going to have a covert meeting?
“Turn around.”
Gu Ming Ren was standing behind him with his phone in hand, the glasses perched on the bridge of his nose glinting under the hot sun.
He had given Lin Jiang the cold shoulder for two weeks, thinking that the other boy would look for him and demand that he take responsibility. Who knew that this son of a bitch would not only not contact him, but also be completely aloof today, despite Gu Ming Ren turning a blind eye to him.
No matter what Gu Ming Ren did, Lin Jiang didn’t like it.
So why did Lin Jiang sleep with him?
Lin Jiang exchanged a word with Hao Meng, then turned and walked towards Gu Ming Ren.
Thanks for the translation!
Gu Ming Ren you are so…….
Who is thehell would call someone he had a crush son of a bitch ? ah
Moreover in your situation you want to him to take initiative? facepalm
Please talk about your feelings tell him ehat you feel towards him ah
So the new SIM explains why He Cheng Ming is not in contact. But surely as a friend HCM would have found a way to get in touch. Disappointed with his seemingly uncaring attitude. Even Ji Liao not tried to help/reach out to Lin Jiang?
Still don’t like Gu Ming Ren. It’s a toxic relationship and not fair that LJ is financially/emotionally reliant. It’s not a great CP so far. Not sure if this is just the angst part of the story from the author, to develop into a more warmer, loving CP 🤷♀️ Thanks for the chapter.
+1
At this point I don’t even want this CP to happen! I just want LJ to live a happier life. HCM needs to hurry and help him! I’m getting upset that none of his old friends are even looking for him! Fuck the phone call, look for him!
+1
GMR seems to be gaslighting LJ too 🥺 Cutting his support network of family and friends. Don’t get me started on the whole stigma of crimes committed by parents being transferred to their offspring. It sucks that LJ feels too ashamed to reach out for help. Not sure how this mess of a relationship can/warrants having a HE..
IKR!? At this point, if the author can pull it off, it will be a miracle! And it better not be the more sex they have the more their feelings develop. I will never believe that for this couple!! Although that’s what it looks like this author is hinting at.
Yeah too many alarm bells going off with this CP. How author can rescue this? Not normally critical of extras (they’re a bonus treat) but this is just all kinds of wrong 😔
Tbh lj has had a good spoiled life up until his parents abandoned him so it’s not like his entire life has been miserable but it is disgusting that they abandoned him.
This side couple is completely messed up. JL probably not that close to LJ… That’s why they’re not connected. But I guess HCM know this, and choose GMR’s side. Wtf….(ノ｀⌒´)ノ┫：・┻┻
WTF?! GMR, do you even have a brain!? You made it so LJ has nothing left but to depend on you, you heard him say he’ll sell his body to you but you still can’t figure out why he had sex with you??! I can’t with you anymore! What an idiot! Your life was miserable and now you dragged LJ down with you. Just go die!
On the old days, every1 was eager for GMR getting LJ’s heart n now everythings reversed lolol.
Thanks for the chapter
I really hope the author give them a HE and remove all these pretenses… QAQ
Thank You for the Chapter ❤
Because Till now the relationship is kinda toxic and I don’t know why HCM has not helped LJ….
And GMR is kinda being an A-hole ( Maybe cuz he took the initiative till now and is tired of it..I don’t know..This Side CP is very confusing..)
They are both too stubborn and insensitive… Gu Ming Ren is obsessed and I’m afraid he CAN’T let go of Lin Jiang as long as there’s a sliver of hope he can be together with LJ. Lin Jiang can’t be honest either with himself or GMR, he’d rather sulk and avoid GMR instead of trying to talk and sort out the mess they both created. Frankly, I feel sorry for both of them and hope they’ll manage to scrape through somehow.
Thank you for the translation! 🌸
I’m sorry but I don’t agree to blame GMR for everything, from what I understood in the previous chapter I found him on the street drinking and picked him up and it wasn’t until LJ seduced him that they slept … well clearly not the Brighter lamp and could well ask HCM for some advice, but LJ has not thought of any other way to get ahead other than “sell his body”
Hm…Not sure about this couple
Thank you for the chapter
Aii poor Lin Jiang.Pride😣 his situation turn so sudden . It was hard on him.
Some people are GMR for LJ being alone, I don’t think that’s right. When he helped LJ parents he thought he was helping, it was mentioned that he said to HCM that he find a way to fix things. LJ could still have contact with HCM, GMR never stopped him. GMR didn’t make any move on LJ or even ask him to sell his body to him(GMR), LJ did all that by himself. GMR said he wanted to help not that he wanted a prostitute, but everyone keeps blaming GMR when LJ made all his own choices
I dont get the timeline. I thought he is living with GMR. but he is living in a dormitory. And when did he go to a dormitory and why did he left GMR?
I kindda like their storyline in the main text, showing up in tidbits in between chapters, but now they are in the side story and are in this kind of relationship… Idk anymore sis. I’m feeling uncomfortable. I’m actually feeling sorry for lj rn, it’s like he’s not him anymore… Can we go back to hcm and jl flirting?🥺
