Looking at the two red paper bills in his hand, Wen ZhiChu hastily stuffed them back, the panic on his face extremely apparent: “No…no……”
Jiang Yu asked in bewilderment: “Not enough?”
Wen ZhiChu flailed his hands in the air: “No…no, I can’t take it.”
“Why can’t you take it? This money is for you.” Saying this, Jiang Yu started stuffing the money back forcibly.
Wen ZhiChu hastily moved away: “No…no…”
“Just take it.”
“You…take it back.”
“Take it.”
“No…I don’t, I don’t want it.”
New Years was still more than 7 months away. However, this warm scene, which could only be seen during New Years, was enacting ahead of time in front of Class 11 right now.
It’s a bit too early for New Years.
Jiang Yu frowned: “Why don’t you want it.”
Head down, Wen ZhiChu covered the pockets of his school uniform firmly: “My mom…my mom said that I can’t take things from strangers.”
If he took it, then he needed to give something in return.
Jiang Yu was astonished: “You don’t know who I am?”
He saw Wen ZhiChu nod his head.
“Then why did you deliver the love letter for Xiao Mian?”
Wen ZhiChu corrected him: “Letter…letter of challenge.”
“……” Jiang Yu: “Right, letter of challenge.”
Wen ZhiChu gave him a glance: “Is there… is there any possibility that… it’s because your name is on your locker.”
Jiang Yu: ……
Seeing the other obstinate about not taking the money, Jiang Yu said: “I will remember this favor from you. In the future, if you encounter any trouble, you can come find me.”
Wen ZhiChu was stunned. How did he manage to gain someone’s favor from delivering a letter of challenge? Seeing Jiang Yu leave with the money, he finally let out a breath of relief.
[System: How come you didn’t take the money just now?]
Wen ZhiChu froze: “Ah?”
[System: What ah? That’s a free pie from the sky!]
Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together: “Do you think it’s normal for something this lucky to happen to me?”
[System: Not normal.]
“Then do you still think I should have taken it?”
Skycat Genie was rendered speechless: [No…no, you shouldn’t.]
Wen ZhiChu walked into his classroom and sat down. He didn’t even warm his chair when he saw the 2nd-to-last come over and pat on his desk.
“#16.”
Wen ZhiChu corrected the other seriously: “Wen ZhiChu.”
“What do you call me?”
“2nd-to…last.” As soon as he said this, Wen ZhiChu froze: “How…How about you keep calling me #16.”
“……”
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.
2nd-to-last suddenly realized something: “Don’t tell me… you don’t actually know my name?”

“Lbk jgf kf cba? Yatfgklrf ws rjmglolmf jr j mjcvif yfobgf atf ijra fzjw kbeiv tjnf yffc lc njlc.”
The corners of Wen ZhiChu’s mouth curved upwards briefly. However, before he could speak, he heard 2nd-to-last continue to say: “Let me copy your math homework from yesterday.”
Wen ZhiChu hesitated somewhat: “How about…I teach you.”
2nd-to-last was stunned: “Ah?”
In a bit, when the morning self-study period ends, the representative is to collect the exercise books. 2nd-to-last scratched his head: “Let me copy it first and then you can teach me. Otherwise, it’ll be too late when they collect it later.”
Wen ZhiChu understood and handed over yesterday’s homework.
When it was near the end of morning self-study, 2nd-to-last finally scuttered back to him holding the homework: “I finished writing everything. Never knew I left so many blanks.”
Wen ZhiChu: “There wasn’t? It was only two pages.”
2nd-to-last: “I’m talking about from the start of school.”
“……”
Good god, this guy filled in a good portion of the booklet in one go.
2nd-to-last: “Good thing I have you. Last time, the class representative said that I will be a main focus of today’s random inspection.”
Recalling the math teacher’s terrifying face, 2nd-to-last spoke as if he had escaped a great calamity and gained a fresh opportunity in life: “If you weren’t here today, I wouldn’t be here either.”
Wen ZhiChu: “……You’re welcome.”
Saying this, 2nd-to-last placed his exercise booklet on the table. Wen ZhiChu looked down at it: “Is this your name?”
Speaking, he pointed at the three characters— Ji CuYi (季麤一).
“Yes.”
Wen ZhiChu: “That’s pretty…pretty unique.”
“Don’t even mention it. When my dad gave me this name, he was afraid of clashing with other people’s names, so he specifically flipped through a dictionary and found one that’s hard to write.”
Wen ZhiChu looked at the strokes in the second character (麤): “Does writing that take up time in exams?”
“My dad considered this as well.” Saying this, he pointed at the Yi (一): “That’s why the 3rd character is used to mitigate the loss.”
“……”
Paternal love was like the mountain; issues are considered from all aspects and dealt with.
After the morning self-study, Wen ZhiChu got up and went to the homeroom teacher’s office. Walking to the door, he knocked and listened for the reply from inside before finally pushing open the door and entering.
The Class 11’s homeroom teacher looked up and actually seemed somewhat surprised to see Wen ZhiChu: “Do you need something?”
“I…I do.” Wen ZhiChu walked next to the homeroom teacher’s desk: “Teacher… I want to apply for a dorm room for… lunch break.”
“Oh a dorm room.” The homeroom teacher took out a folder from the side drawer and flipped through it. Normally, the resting quarter of a dorm room was shared by two people. However, he knew that this child, Wen ZhiChu, was relatively unusual amongst his classmates.
Unusually annoying……
To avoid unnecessary conflicts amongst students, the homeroom teacher specifically arranged an empty dorm room for him that was currently unoccupied.
Immediately afterwards, he signed the application with a ball-point pen: “Just take this to the dorm teacher of dormitory H at noon. She will give you the key.”
Wen ZhiChu accepted the application with both hands: “Thank…thank you, teacher.”
The homeroom teacher waved his hand dismissively: “You’re welcome.”
Wen ZhiChu stuffed the application inside his pocket and exited the office. That was much smoother than he had imagined.
After Wen ZhiChu left, the homeroom teacher of Class 9 poked his head over from the side: “Wen ZhiChu? The one pursuing Meng Yan from my class?”
“En, it’s him.”
“How come he’s suddenly applying for a dorm room?”
“Perhaps the child wants to get a good rest. I arranged a solo room for him.”
The homeroom teacher of Class 9 asked in confusion: “Why?”
“To nip the potential regulation violations in the bud.”
“……”
The homeroom teacher knew very clearly what would happen if Wen ZhiChu were to share a dorm room with someone else.
After eating lunch, Wen ZhiChu went to the dormitory with the application. The dorm teacher gave him the key so he followed the number on the key in search of his room. Going all the way up to the 4th floor, as soon as he turned the corner, he heard a low voice that’s filled with loathing.
“Why’s he here?”
Seeing him, Sun Bin’s face twisted: “Fuck, who’s sharing a dorm room with him? They must be super unlucky.”
Ever since the last grade announcement, Wen ZhiChu has been aware of Sun Bin’s hostility towards him.
Knowing that the other was purposely targeting him, when Wen ZhiChu saw him, he also deliberately put on a disgruntled expression. Although he was a push over, he still displayed his feelings of dislike towards someone.
Sun Bin gave him a glance: “So unlucky today.”
Saying this, he walked into his room and slammed the door closed loudly.
[System: No sense of etiquette at all. Put him inside my last host’s novel and he’d game over right at the start. You shouldn’t take him seriously.]
Wen ZhiChu nodded: “Skycat Genie.”
[System: What is it?]
“I’m finding you to be somewhat considerate recently.”
[System: It’s not recently.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: I’ve always been.]
“……”
His dorm room was 402. Although it was a double suite, only he lived here. Looking at the lone mattress on the bed, Wen ZhiChu finally realized that he had to bring his own pillow, sheets, and blankets.
But today, he’s going to have to make do. The summer heat was blistering. Wen ZhiChu opened the window slightly and then laid down on the mattress. He relaxed completely like a pile of mud. Besides sleeping, he had no other needs.
When lunch break ended, Wen ZhiChu returned to his classroom with a disheveled head of hair.
Seeing this, 2nd-to-last said: “Damn, did you get your hair styled during lunch? Where did you go? It looks pretty fluffy. I’ll go there someday as well.”
Mainly because there seemed to be a lot of hair.
Wen ZhiChu looked at him skeptically: “I… didn’t.”
2nd-to-last: “Then how did you style your hair?”
“I…went to take a nap.”
“……”
Serendipity.
The first class of the afternoon was math class. Wen ZhiChu was still somewhat drowsy, so he raised his hand and patted himself on the face slightly.
During class, with his back turned, the math teacher wrote some formulas on the blackboard that he was going to discuss. Wen ZhiChu stared intently for a while. Then his gaze inadvertently floated towards a light in the front row.
Someone was playing with their phone.
That person was none other than Sun Bin. As if feeling somewhat guilty about playing on his phone during class, he even glanced around left and right. When he turned his head slightly, he immediately met Wen ZhiChu’s eyes.
With a thud in his heart, Sun Bin hastily stuffed his cellphone into his table cubby in fright, as if Wen ZhiChu were the teacher or something.
Wen ZhiChu shifted his gaze away. He had no plans to tell the teacher. After all, whether Sun Bin studied or not has nothing to do with him.
Turning his head, Sun Bin looked at Wen ZhiChu with gritted teeth. His gaze was filled with warning, but the other wasn’t even looking at him.
Very good. This was a deliberate provocation towards him.
For the next half of the class period, Sun Bin constantly watched Wen ZhiChu, intentionally or otherwise. In the past, it was common for Wen ZhiChu to play on his cellphone during class. Seeing Wen ZhiChu doing something in his desk cubby with his head lowered, Sun Bin sneered internally. See, caught him.
Then he stood up abruptly: “Teacher, I want to report Wen ZhiChu for playing on the cellphone during class!”
Shocked, Wen ZhiChu looked at Sun Bin incredulously.
Was this the so-called ‘a thief accusing others of stealing’!
The math teacher turned around and looked at the two of them with a cold expression.
Wen ZhiChu also stood up and stammered: “I…I wasn’t.”
“Impossible, I even saw you. Otherwise why would I report you.”
“Because… you’re lying.”
Sun Bin refused to give up. Wen ZhiChu used to play on his cellphone just like this. He has already seen through the other’s tricks.
The math teacher walked next to Wen ZhiChu: “Were you playing or not?”
“No.” Wen ZhiChu shook his head and then stepped away from his seat to let the teacher see into his desk cubby. Inside was only a rubber eraser that’s half-stretched by a ruler.
Seeing nothing, the math teacher looked towards Sun Bin.
Face somewhat red, Sun Bin shot Wen ZhiChu a glare unscrupulously.
Seeing this, Wen ZhiChu felt somewhat unhappy. With a pout, he said: “Teacher… Sun Bin was playing on his phone during class.”
Sun Bin said immediately: “Bullshit!”
Meeting the math teacher’s gaze, he flinched back slightly.
Sun Bin: “You claim I was playing on my phone, where’s your evidence? Without evidence, it’s slander!”
Skycat Genie rolled its eyes. As if he had presented any evidence just now.
[System: Pei!]
Sun Bin imitated Wen ZhiChu and stepped away from his seat. He had already stuffed the cellphone inside the hole of a hollowed out book and hid it well. Even rummaging through his desk cubby can’t find it.
Sun Bin’s face looked smug. Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together and stepped forward.
Sun Bin looked at him: “Why aren’t you searching?”
Wen ZhiChu: “I am… giving you an opportunity.”
“What opportunity?”
“To hand it over…… yourself.”
Sun Bin’s expression was ugly: “It’s not there at all. What do I hand over?”
Wen ZhiChu: “Hi, Siri~”
“I’m here.”
