The driver originally wanted to call out to Qin JiaShu, but he had already walked into campus grounds. It’s not like the driver could leave the little dumpling on the car by himself.
Seeing his illiterate big brother’s figure vanish completely, Qin JiaHe finally sat obediently back into his seat.
The little dumpling said in an adult-like tone: “Let’s go. Time to go to work.”
The driver: “……”
How the heck is going to kindergarten anything like work?
The umbrella was foldable. It was also wrapped up in an umbrella cover on the outside. Qin JiaShu didn’t actually notice any irregularities. Instead, he placed it inside the netted side pocket of the backpack.
The eye-catching young man walked down the campus road. Even though he wore the same exact uniform, it was possible to notice him at first glance in a crowd of people. The uniform that he wore was clean and tidy, not dressed randomly for the sake of coolness. His hair was well groomed, without the slovenly sloppiness of boys this age.
As Qin JiaShu walked, many people came up to greet him.
“Good morning.”
Qin JiaShu smiled, his lips curving upwards warmly: “Good morning.”
With one person to start, naturally others followed. A shy girl walking to the side gathered her courage: “Qin-tongxue, good morning.”
Qin JiaShu turned his head: “Good morning.”
“Upperclassman Qin, morning.”
“Morning.”
Regardless of family background, intelligence, or looks, all aspects of him were absolutely perfect.
However, what no one noticed was that… Qin JiaShu took larger strides than when he first entered the campus.
Ji FengChang stood in front of the building for second year students, already noticing him from a very far distance. As a bro, naturally he stopped and waited. Immediately afterwards, he saw Qin JiaShu walk over, pretending to be human(e) the entire way.
Ji FengChang imitated the female student just now and said with some degree of shyness and a pinch of timidness: “Upperclassman Qin, morning!”
The curve to the corners of Qin JiaShu’s mouth flattened instantly: “You’re so disgusting.”
Ji FengChang: ……
Asshole! I thought we were bros!
Ji FengChang examined the other left and right. He discovered that Qin JiaShu didn’t have any water stains on his body from the rain: “The driver brought you here today?”
Qin JiaShu acknowledged him indifferently.
Ji FengChang whistled: “What a rarity.”
Actually before 15 years old, Qin JiaShu was always picked up and dropped off by the family driver. When he entered high school, however, he started riding his bicycle to school. Even when encountering special weather, he’d rent a car or call a taxi.
Although he never talked about it himself, Ji FengChang knew clearly in his heart.
Going to school was only an excuse for Qin JiaShu. His true intention was to spend less time with the Qin family’s new baby, who was born just a few years ago. Although this big brother didn’t show it clearly on his face, he was already annoyed to death by that little brother of his.
Not long after getting off the bus, the rain stopped. Wen ZhiChu closed his umbrella and gave it a shake, shaking out most of the raindrops on the surface of the umbrella. Immediately afterwards, he placed the umbrella into a pre-prepared plastic bag and carried it in his hand.
Looking up at the sky, he saw the dark gray clouds forming a dense mass, which even turned his mood heavier.
“Hope it won’t rain again today.”
[System: Is raining not good?]
With a profound look on his face, Wen ZhiChu: “The best things are unobtainable.”
[……]
Today was Friday. Because the next two days were rest days, many students were somewhat distracted in class today.
During the break time right before second period, the class leader returned from the homeroom teacher’s office in a hurry and stepped onto the podium. Seeing the rowdy students below, he raised his hand, tapped on the blackboard, and said with a stern tone: “Students.”
Then he looked past the podium. The lively discussion below continued, no one paid any attention to him.
The class leader: ……
Then he raised his hand and tapped again: “My fellow classmates!”
This time, 3-5 pairs of eyes looked towards him.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
According to the principle of ‘some is better than none’, the class leader raised his middle finger and pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose: “Because of water gathering on the grass in the sports field, which can cause plenty of splattering when stepping on it, today’s exercise period has been canceled.”

Ktf mijrr ifjvfg: “Ktf Gfjc aglfv la.”
“……”
What a wonderful teacher for the masses.
Sitting in his seat, Wen ZhiChu looked outside the window and once again prayed that the Heavens will not weep.
However, happiness is always fleeting. When the students returned from playing wildly during the 2nd period break, they were greeted with unfortunate news.
The sports representative stood on the podium, panting for breath: “My fellow classmates, I received the latest news. In the 4th period gym class, there will be a physical exam. Male students 1000-meters run, female students 800-meters run.
The exhausted students, who just returned from outside, released loud wails of anguish. Wen ZhiChu even stepped one foot into the Southern Heavenly Gates.
A female student inquired: “Didn’t they say that there’s water on the field, how are they going to test?”
The sports representative: “There’s none on the track.”
“How do you know?”
“The physical education(PE) teacher tested it.”
“……”
What a wonderful teacher for the masses.
At this time, Wen ZhiChu looked out the window silently and prayed sincerely in his heart.
“Dear god, please let it rain.”
[System: Didn’t you want no rain earlier? The best things are unobtainable.]
With a profound look on his face, Wen ZhiChu: “You don’t understand.”
[System: ?]
Wen ZhiChu looked off into the distance: “Some things you only learn to cherish after losing them.”
Skycat Genie: [……]
Although his heart was filled with reluctance, reality cannot be changed. What’s inevitable will still come in the end.
During the 4th period gym class, the sports representative brought the students onto the field and stood them in rows. Class 1 and class 9 also had gym class at the same time, however, only class 11 was getting tested.
The other PE teachers just spoke some simple words and then dismissed the students. Class 11 students all shot over looks of envy.
This was probably the so-called “Same circumstances, different fate”.
However, Wen ZhiChu was the only person who didn’t dare to look over there. After all, standing at the head of Class 1 was Qin JiaShu. Wen ZhiChu still remembered how the other said yesterday that he was going to strip him naked and throw him on the side of the road.
Class 11’s teacher arrived fashionably late. Seeing the students standing uniformly in rows already, he said generously: “The sports representative organized pretty well.”
Immediately afterwards, he opened the roster in his hand: “The sports representative will lead the students in a warm up stretch first. The physical exam will start in a bit. First the girls’ 800-meters run, then the boys’ 1000-meters run.”
The students in formation instantly let out wails: “Ahh~”
The PE Teacher frowned: “What are you guys ahh-ing for?”
One male student said: “Teacher, none of the other classes are testing.”
The PE teacher: “Then why don’t you go join the other classes.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Originally, he thought that only the teacher in his last life would talk like this. Who knew that this was a universal technique for all teachers.
During the warm-up stretch, some students started to whisper quietly to each other.
“Ai, how about we run together in a bit.”
“Bring me too. Everyone can run as a group.”
“I run slow, so add me as well. Everyone together.”
[System: They’re so united.]
Wen ZhiChu listened silently and didn’t speak.
“Qin JiaShu is over there on that side of the field. I feel like I can definitely do it if I look at him while running later on.”
“Hahaha, why don’t you have Qin JiaShu wait for you at the finish line then?”
“Isn’t there a saying that goes like this? Running the track field, there will always be people who persevere by viewing the person they like.”
After stretching, the female students got ready for the physical exam.
As soon as the whistle blew, the big group that had originally promised to run together instantly broke down.
[System: ? ? ? Didn’t they agree verbally to run together?]
Wen ZhiChu: “So you also know it’s only verbally.”
[System: You humans are really fake.]
“……”
After the girls finished testing, it was very quickly the boys’ turn.
“My fellow brothers, we promised to do this together. Whoever runs ahead is a dog]!”
“Fuck, who do you think I am?!”
Skycat Genie watched silently—Say whatever you want. If you don’t run off, it counts as my loss.
Immediately afterwards, the System shifted its gaze back on Wen ZhiChu.
[System: Young man, the other people are going to run while looking at the person they like. You don’t have any, how are you going to run?]
Wen ZhiChu took a deep breath: “Relying on strength the first 300 meters and profanities the last 700 meters.”
[……]
Although Skycat Genie didn’t understand, he was extremely shocked.
Wen ZhiChu went to the starting point and got ready. The PE teacher blew on the whistle. Most of the people charged out instantly. For a moment, the track was filled with running and cursing.
“Fuck, didn’t we agree to run together?!”
“Asshole, I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you!”
“There’s no one more dog than you!”
Wen ZhiChu silently ran in the back and answered internally: “Yes, there is.”
Immediately afterwards, his eyes unconsciously looked to the side. Qin JiaShu stood there.
Pretty much by midpoint, Wen ZhiChu was already out of strength. His breathing gradually grew heavier. There was also the taste of rust growing in his nasal cavities. His throat felt dry and sore as if he were in a desert.
Immediately afterwards, his gaze landed on the figure in the distance. Gritting his teeth, Wen ZhiChu finished the 1000 meters run with the amazing record of being 5th-to-last. Then he walked half of the field staggering and swaying before finally sitting down.
[System: Young man, you looked like such a mess when running.]
Wen ZhiChu was temporarily speechless.
Skycat Genie started to express its confusion.
[System: Why did you look at Qin JiaShu when running just now?]
Wen ZhiChu: “Following the crowd.”
[System: The female students looked because they imagined him running in front of them. Why did you look?]
Wen ZhiChu said feebly without any energy: “Imagined him chasing behind me.”
[……]
[System: You have a pretty unique taste.]
Wen ZhiChu sat down exhausted under the shade of the tree. Because the weather on this cloudy day was too muggy, he took off his outer school jacket with his hands and only wore the summer uniform’s bluish-white short-sleeve shirt. The youth’s fair white face, which had turned red from the intense activity, remained flushed a long time afterwards, taking forever to fade.
He raised his hand and brushed away the strands of hair stuck to his forehead, revealing his smooth, clean forehead. With a delicate countenance, he looked downwards, eyes half-lidded without any energy.
Just as Wen ZhiChu planned to sit under this tree for the rest of the period, a mechanical voice suddenly spoke up in his head.
[System: Villain’s mission. Prank the protagonist. Completing the mission rewards 50 yuan. The villain score will increase 2%. Failing the mission will deduct 50 yuan.]
For a second, Wen ZhiChu only looked up at the lush green tree branches above his head like a dead fish. Yesterday he had just annoyed the guy to death; now today, he needed to prank the other to complete his mission.
He seemed to suddenly understand why the original owner ended up sleeping on the streets. If he were Qin JiaShu, he would also make the other sleep on the streets.
[System: Young man, you don’t actually have to do it.]
Wen ZhiChu’s eyes lit up instantly: “Then can you not deduct any money?”
The System smiled: [No.]
Wen ZhiChu can only resign himself to fate and get up. However, he didn’t dare to pester Qin JiaShu at this time. After all, the circumstances were different right now. He didn’t even have the energy to run away, what if he provoked the other too much.
By this time, Qin JiaShu has already gone to the basketball court. There seemed to be a friendly competition between the classes. Plenty of students were already sitting around to watch.
Wen ZhiChu stood looking at them from afar. Pressing his lips together, he walked towards the basketball court. Midway, someone suddenly blocked his path: “Why are you following Meng Yan again?”
He looked at the girl in front of him, stunned. It was the same girl who hung around the campus beauty on the basketball court previously.
The misunderstanding made Wen ZhiChu somewhat flustered: “No…no, I’m not.”
That girl didn’t believe him: “If you’re not, then why’s your face red? Talk. Is your face red from looking at Meng Yan?”
Meng Yan was hiding slightly behind that girl.
Wen ZhiChu waved both hands in a panic: “No…no it’s not. I just finished running.”
Saying this, he pointed at his own cheeks, wanting the other to know that his face was flushed due to his recent exercise.
“Who’d believe that? Who knows what kind of filthy things are in your head all day.”
Forced into a panic, Wen ZhiChu even found it hard to speak: “No… I… I was…”
“Enough. Save your breath. I’m warning you. You’re not allowed to follow us anymore. Meng Yan doesn’t like you at all!” Saying this, she dragged Meng Yan off to the basketball court.
For a moment, Wen ZhiChu was speechless. However, he still needed to complete his mission. A while after they walked inside, Wen ZhiChu finally followed them in as well.
Wen ZhiChu found a covert corner to stand, pondering about how to prank Qin JiaShu. The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of shame and guilt in his heart.
The guy was having a fine and dandy day, but he just had to go and provoke him.
After thinking about it for a long time, Wen ZhiChu abruptly returned from his thoughts. That’s right. He could take some pictures of Qin JiaShu and then graffiti them. This should also count as a malicious prank.
As he praised himself for his brilliance, he took out his cellphone. Because there was a huge crowd, he needed to stand on his tiptoes slightly in the corner and raise the cellphone high in the air.
On the basketball court, Qin JiaShu behaved outstandingly. His reflexes were also very nimble and keen. Wen ZhiChu took a lot of photos but they were all blurry. In the end, he held up the cellphone staunchly for most of the class period, until Qin JiaShu left the court, before he could finally take a satisfying photo. For a second, he smiled so happily that his eyes curved.
While playing basketball, Qin JiaShu already noticed the arm holding the cellphone in the corner, and how the camera lens followed him the entire time. It didn’t even stop when he left the court to drink some water.
His sharp brows furrowed. The crowd of people over there dispersed slightly, revealing Wen ZhiChu who was hugging his phone and smiling foolishly.
The young man’s eyes were shining like twinkling stars as he looked at the cellphone screen with a full smile. A finger swiping over the screen nonstop and a red flush on his fair-white face, the young man seemed extremely satisfied.
Qin JiaShu squeezed the water bottle in his hand slightly, twisting veins visible on his arm.
When gym class ended, the students left the field in groups of threes and fours. After Wen ZhiChu finished taking the photos and before he had a chance to graffiti them, he remembered that he had left his school jacket under the tree and hastily went back to fetch it.
Running under the tree and seeing the jacket still there, he let out a small breath of relief and bent down to pick it up. When he got up, a shadow fell over him.
Instantly, Wen ZhiChu stiffened in fear.
He saw Qin JiaShu standing calmly in front of him. Although Qin JiaShu just finished playing basketball, there was no smell of sweat from his body; he only emitted a vigorous heat. Wen ZhiChu instantly took two steps back.
“What…what a coincidence.” Wen ZhiChu lowered his head in panic, making small talk out of nothing to try and cover up for his guilty conscience.
Gaze landing on the cellphone in Wen ZhiChu’s left hand, Qin JiaShu raised his hand: “Give it to me.”
Wen ZhiChu was stunned briefly: “Wha…what?”
“The cellphone.”
Wen ZhiChu instantly held onto it tightly and shook his head in refusal.
“I will say it again. Give it to me.”
Wen ZhiChu was so scared his legs trembled relentlessly: “That that’s my… my personal business.”
However, Qin JiaShu had already lost his patience and reached out to grab it. The cell phone screen wasn’t locked. Wen ZhiChu tried to snatch it back in a panic. Unexpectedly, he was held down by just one hand.
Qin JiaShu looked at him: “My photos… are your personal business?”
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Can’t wait for bun mc to meet bun lil bro
Every single time when I see the missions, my heart stop beating from stress! Leave my bubu alone QAQ
Thank You for the new chapter! ♡(˃͈ દ ˂͈ ༶ )
Thanks for the chapter!
Thank you for the update !
I hope Qin JiaShu doesn’t break the phone. Wen ZhiChu can’t afford to buy another one.
Profanities help me as well when running.
Oh my oh myyyy 😫 poor baby, praying for his and his phone well-being 🙏
Thank you for the chapter 🥰
Aww poor thing he didn’t even have a chance to graffiti them
…. Yes
Him smiling so sweetly at the pictures just makes me squeal! ヽ(*´∀`)ﾉﾞ
Thank you for the chapter!!
I really can’t stand the best friend of the female protagonist. She’s too assuming
To be fair it was stated that pre-transmigration, the former owner was VERY blatantly pursuing her. The friend has good reason to be wary based on his past behavior
But really, the one who should tell the mc to go away ahould be the ogfl, not her. There will be a day that she will be embarrassed because she thinks and meddle too much.
It’s possible OGFL could have asked the friend to help her avoid MC, since she’s probably had to deal with rejecting him plenty herself. She could always say something if she wanted to, but so far she’s been staying quiet and sticking behind her friend. I wouldn’t assume that she’s meddling for no reason without full context
Poor bebe😮💨❤️ let him suffer some more hehehhehe
I’ll lite a candle for mc cellphone 🕯️
I also strongly disagree! Comrade pioneer, share with everyone!!!
Thank you very much for the translation 💜💜💜
Dying from the run our sweetie is sent on a perilous mission—bad system! Hahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
