Qin JiaShu’s shadow enveloped him completely. A buzzing noise in his head interrupted his train of thought. Wen ZhiChu didn’t know what to do. There was a fear and timidness that couldn’t be hidden in his eyes.
Panic replacing rationality, Wen ZhiChu stepped forward to snatch the cellphone back.
Qin JiaShu didn’t tug and pull with him. Pretty much as soon as Wen ZhiChu reached out to grab the phone, he relaxed his grip and let go.
His head was filled with the image of Wen ZhiChu holding the phone in the corner of the basketball court, the other’s bright and shining eyes, the strange flush on his face— the more he thought about this, the more displeased he felt.
What was Wen ZhiChu planning to do with his photos!
Qin JiaShu looked at him coldly: “Your personal business is pretty unique, the same as mine.”
Wen ZhiChu gulped: “Per…perhaps it’s a fated connection.”
“I have never heard that privacy can be shared.”
Wen ZhiChu raised his hand and held out a fair white finger. He said in a timid tone that carried a hint of pride: “Then…then we might be the first ones.”
Qin JiaShu’s eye expression was frigid.
Wen ZhiChu instantly turned anxious and frightened like a scared little animal: “Fate… is too marvelous for words.”
Qin JiaShu: “Delete them.”
“Wha…what?”
“Delete the photos.”
Wen ZhiChu clenched the cellphone tightly in his hands and shook his head as if holding onto the last saving straw.
Qin JiaShu frowned: “Not going to delete them?”
“I…I’m keeping them for a reason.”
Qin JiaShu instantly felt his scalp turn numb. Perhaps because he has never encountered such outrageousness despite having lived so many years, his handsome face tensed up and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably. His normally refined and composed tone was lost completely and his voice carried a hint of humiliation and anger: “What are you going to do with them?”
Seeing Wen ZhiChu’s red flushed cheeks, he was more certain of the guess in his heart.
[System: Mission complete. Villain score 8%. Reward: 50 yuan.]
Hugging the cellphone tightly and refusing to let go, Wen ZhiChu was just thinking to himself that if worse comes to worst, he’d just catch a punch from Qin JiaShu with his forehead. Upon hearing the mechanical voice in his head, he was stunned.
It was completed?
[System: That’s right, young man. The protagonist believes that you’re messing with him.]
Wen ZhiCu was briefly startled: “But I didn’t do anything yet.”
[System: Maybe he has a very vivid imagination.]
Wen ZhiChu raised his head and took a glance at Qin JiaShu. He saw that right now, the other’s face looked worse than eating shit.
“What did he imagine?”
[System: Do you want to ask him yourself?]
Wen ZhiChu instantly shook his head and made his excuse sound like words of justice: “Spying on other people’s privacy is such terrible conduct.”
[System: Then why did you guys just share personal business.]
“……”
Since the mission was completed, Wen ZhiChu had no further use in keeping the photos. Seeing Qin JiaShu’s slightly irritated expression, he said: “Don’t…don’t be angry. I’ll delete them, alright?”
These words were full of yielding and compromise.
Qin JiaShu took a deep breath, no longer willing to reason with him anymore. Giving Wen ZhiChu a cold look, he turned around and left: “Do what you want.”
Seeing him leave angrily, Wen ZhiChu was utterly bewildered for a moment. Who knows what went on in the other’s head to make him so angry.

[System: Are you still going to delete the photos?]
Qfc ItlJte cbvvfv: “P tjnf cb erf lc xffqlcu atfw.”
[System: But he’s the protagonist.]
Qfc ItlJte ogbhf rilutais: “Jjc tf kjgv boo fnli?”
[……]
Wen ZhiChu looked down and started to delete the photos. Skycat Genie remained quiet for a while before continuing to say: [How about you keep a few.]
Dfmjerf tf tjv ajxfc abb wjcs qtbabr veglcu atlr qfglbv, Qfc ItlJte’r olcufgr fnfc aegcfv cewy ogbw qgfrrlcu atf vfifaf yeaabc.
“Qts?”
[Keep a few to bring some good luck to your unique tendency for misfortune.]
Seeing that all of the photos were about to be deleted, Skycat Genie continued to say: [Believe me, this unique constitution of yours is a once in a century rarity.]
Qfc ItlJte: “Dfmjerf P mjc’a ilnf qjra j mfcaegs.”
[……]
Although he said this verbally, the finger pressing the delete button hesitated. Although it was somewhat superstitious, what if it worked?
He looked at the photos in his cellphone. The young man inside the photos was running freely on the basketball court, shining like the sun, dashing and full of a vigorous spark. When Wen ZhiChu was in middle school, the kind of person he wanted to become the most was someone like Qin JiaShu, confident and fearless. However, he just never expected the other to have two different faces.
In the end, Wen ZhiChu kept a few saved in his phone. If he doesn’t use them in the end, there’s still time to delete them later.
Heading to the cafeteria in a hurry and eating lunch, Wen ZhiChu decided to return to the classroom to take an afternoon nap.
YiZhong High School was extremely praiseworthy, regardless of the qualifications of teachers, students, or the general establishment of the school. It had its niche place in the top rankings of the province.
If the attending students wanted to take their lunch break in a different place, they could apply for a dorm room from the school. It’s two people to a dorm room, however, the dormitory only opens at noon. Also, male and female students were forbidden from walking into each other’s dorms.
To avoid the dormitory building from becoming residential quarters.
Wen ZhiChu rested on the hard desk, pillowing his face on his arms as he thought about whether he should apply for a dorm room at school for lunch break next week. After all, lunch break lasted two entire hours. Also, he has limited funding right now so it’s not like he’ll be leaving campus to spend any money.
[System: Young man, aren’t you taking a nap right now? Why aren’t you asleep yet?]
Slender eyelashes lowered, Wen ZhiChu buried his face in the crook of his arms and mumbled, saying: “I’m not very sleepy immediately after eating.”
[System: What are you going to do then?]
Wen ZhiChu took out his English book from his desk cubby.
[System somewhat surprised: You’re going to study?]
“No, sleep.”
Wen ZhiChu turned the English book to the table index of words. Sure enough, he fell into a deep sleep within 10 minutes.
Skycat Genie: [……]
For a moment, he didn’t know, out of the two hosts he’s been with, which was more ridiculous.
The dark rainy day was humid and muggy. The windows of the classroom weren’t fully opened like the previous days. Every window was only opened ⅓ of the way. Nevertheless, some students still woke up with back and hip aches.
When class was about to start, Wen ZhiChu woke up sluggishly and turned his head to look out the window. The skies outside looked even darker than in the morning.
Sure enough, 10 minutes after 7pm, it started downpouring from the skies. Compared to the light drizzle in the morning, this was practically a flood. Bean-sized raindrops beat the glass windows relentlessly, creating dull thuds.
Wen ZhiChu sighed silently. The inevitable still came in the end. It was raining quite terribly. The skies were also dark. Who knows how many puddles he’ll step in on his way home. However, good thing there was no school tomorrow.
This heavy rain did not subside even after the end of the self-study period and on the contrary, the conditions worsened. Instead of looking like rain, it seemed as if water was being poured directly from the skies.
The air outside was very stuffy. Wen ZhiChu pulled the zipper of his uniform all the way up and buried his chin into his collar. Putting on his backpack, he wanted to grab his umbrella and leave the classroom.
However, after he reached his hand to the side of his desk, the plastic bag that was hung there in the morning had already unknowingly disappeared.
Startled, Wen ZhiChu hastily searched around the desk.
“Skycat Genie! Skycat Genie!”
[System: I’m here.]
“Did you see my umbrella?”
Skycat Genie fell silent for a moment.
Wen ZhiChu: “What’s the matter?”
[System: Look down.]
The youth looked down after hearing this and saw the plastic bag with the umbrella stuck under the leg of the chair.
Wen ZhiChu scratched his head briefly in embarrassment: “Didn’t see it just now.”
[System: It’s fine.]
Wen ZhiChu picked up the umbrella.
Skycat Genie added another stab with the knife: [I didn’t expect you to see it anyways.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
As soon as Wen ZhiChu walked into the first-floor lobby, he found a dense crowd of people blocking the entrance of the building. Because everyone needed time to open up their umbrellas, they were all stuck here for the moment.
Seeing the crowd, Wen ZhiChu didn’t squeeze himself in there forcibly and instead waited quietly in the back of the group.
Once most of the people had left, he finally walked a few steps towards the door of the building and took the umbrella out of the plastic bag. When he took it out, he heard a grinding sound but didn’t think too much of it as he stuffed the plastic bag into his pocket. Then he started to open the umbrella.
To his surprise, he couldn’t prop it open. Wen ZhiChu instantly became dumbfounded.
What’s going on?!
“Hey! Are you going or not? If not, don’t stand here blocking the way.”
Looking at the pouring rain outside, Wen ZhiChu silently retreated to the side to make room for the student behind him while he looked down at the broken umbrella.
Then, he opened the umbrella slightly to try to locate the broken area.
As soon as Qin JiaShu turned off the lights and left the classroom, he saw Meng Yan waiting at the door.
Seeing Qin JiaShu come out, Meng Yan said with a blush: “Qin-tongxue, are you leaving now?”
Qin JiaShu’s expression was calm and composed; he still carried the same warmth on his face: “En, do you need anything?”
Meng Yan hesitated briefly: “Qin-tongxue, I……”
Instantly seeing through her intentions, Qin JiaShu frowned slightly. Just as he was about to speak, a voice came from the distance.
“You two haven’t left yet?”
The Dean, who was inspecting the classroom for remaining students, walked over from a distance.
Seeing him, Meng Yan instantly panicked.
Qin JiaShu’s face didn’t show much change however: “Just about to leave.”
The Dean glanced at the time. Coincidentally, he was getting off work as well: “Alright. We can head down together.”
Meng Yan had no choice but to swallow her words.
The group continued downstairs. As soon as they reached the lobby, they saw a natural wonder of the world, which could be called a human umbrella.
As the name expressed, it meant that the lower portion was a person, the upper portion was an umbrella.
The Dean’s eyebrow twitched: “Hey that student there, what are you doing?!”
The loud reprimand made the originally wiggling human umbrella jolt and tremble instantly.
The Dean stepped forward: “Hurry up and get out of there.”
A muffled mosquito-like voice was heard: “I’m stuck.”
“……”
Wen ZhiChu originally wanted to fix the broken area; however, the umbrella refused to cooperate with him, so he had no choice but to cooperate with it. Everything was going fine at first, but that shout from the Dean directly caused his hair to get caught in the umbrella frame.
The Dean frowned: “JiaShu, come here and help me.”
Qin JiaShu stepped forward and pulled the umbrella off with the Dean. Wen ZhiChu was instantly freed from the umbrella, and saw the light once again.
[System: It looked like the umbrella gave birth to you.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Wen ZhiChu’s white and tender face still had some red marks from the umbrella frame. As soon as he looked up, he saw Qin JiaShu. His originally relaxed body instantly stiffened. Qin JiaShu’s face also looked somewhat unnatural.
Seeing Wen ZhiChu, the Dean seemed to understand everything: “Oh it’s you.”
Wen ZhiChu: ?
The Dean looked at the umbrella on the ground and recalled the human umbrella just now: “If it’s you, then it’s not so strange.”
“……”
The Dean looked at the red marks on his face: “What were you doing just now? Pretending to be a ghost to scare classmates?”
However, when he looked around, there was basically no one left.
Wen ZhiChu glanced at the group a few times: “I was… I was fixing the umbrella.”
The Dean: “The umbrella is broken?”
Wen ZhiChu nodded.
“How are you getting home?”
“Taking…taking the bus.”
Thinking that the bus stop was not too far from the school campus, the Dean said: “JiaShu, is it convenient for you to take him there?”
The smile on Qin JiaShu’s face froze for an instant. However, before he even opened his mouth, Wen ZhiChu took the initiative to say first: “Not…not convenient.”
Wen ZhiChu was so scared, he answered directly for him.
Unexpectedly, the Dean frowned deeply: “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. I’m definitely not going to allow Meng Yan to bring you. I am the roundworm in your stomach!”
Wen ZhiChu’s eyes widened: “No…it’s not……”
The Dean turned his head to look at Qin JiaShu: “JiaShu, is it okay?”
Qin JiaShu: “It’s fine.”
Wen ZhiChu: “Qin…Qin-tongxue should have arrived at school on his bike. He doesn’t… doesn’t have an umbrella.”
Hearing Wen ZhiChu’s words, Qin JiaShu gave him a deep sideways glance.
“I have an umbrella.”
As he spoke, he took out the umbrella from the side pocket of his bookbag and opened it.
