The Villain's Attack PlanCh17 - Look me in the eyes!

Seeing that Qin JiaShu didn’t respond for a long time after his words, Wen ZhiChu lifted his fluffy head to secretly take a peek.

He saw Qin JiaShu standing there and looking at him. Those captivating eyes did not possess their usual coldness or annoyance, but instead, held a different kind of emotion at this moment. G8DJi2

Wen ZhiChu was somewhat stunned at seeing it and pondered: “Does he think my words are reasonable?”

[System: He thinks there’s something wrong with your head.]

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“……”

At this moment, those eyes were filled with sympathy and puzzlement, as if for a second, he was even too lazy to argue with him. 1I4WiE

Wen ZhiChu stood frozen in place, numb; however, he still finished his words, stammering and stuttering: “It’s…it’s better that you don’t buy it.”

Qin JiaShu raised his hand and took the water bottle out of Wen ZhiChu’s hands. The other’s hand was very hot. The somewhat calloused palm brushed across Wen ZhiChu’s fingertips, making him tremble and release his grip.

Holding the water, Qin JiaShu looked at him. For some unknown reason, the annoyance in his words seemed to carry a hint of pity. His voice was clear and refined: “If mineral water doesn’t contain water, what is it supposed to contain?”

[System: Young man, he still wants to buy it.]

Wen ZhiChu: “Then it’s our turn to pity him.”

[System: ……what does this count as?]

Wen ZhiChu said: “To let someone have a taste of their own medicine.”

[System: ……] aWDPHX

Was this phrase used to call each other idiots mutually?

After speaking, Qin JiaShu held the water in his hand and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, he received a tug on his sports jersey. There were people all around, no matter how much he detested Wen ZhiChu, he couldn’t get angry. With a frown, he looked at the other: “Anything else?”

Considering Qin JiaShu got his shoulder wet when holding the umbrella for him last time, Wen ZhiChu planned to save this foolish second-generation rich kid.

However, Qin JiaShu’s expression was way too terrifying. Wen ZhiChu hastily let go of his sports jersey. He even became tongue-tied as he talked: “It’s…it’s not worth it for y-you to buy this.” zq vVU

As he spoke, he pointed at the shelf: “The s-s-small bottle of water is 2 yuan for 500mL. The la…large bottle is 6 yuan, but only 1300mL.”

Qin JiaShu’s dark eyes dimmed completely. For a second, he was speechless.

Wen ZhiChu’s heart skipped a beat. He really hadn’t intended to make fun of the other: “Don…don’t…”

Qin JiaShu spoke up, his tone exasperated: “Wen ZhiChu.” xlBQor

Wen ZhiChu looked up. This was actually the first time the other called him by his full name. For a second, Wen ZhiChu was flustered: “Ah?”

“That’s the price of the iced tea next to it.”

Wen ZhiChu: ……

Skycat Genie: [……] 8Qx4dw

Wen ZhiChu turned his head to look. Sure enough, behind the price was the words Iced Tea (Large) written in black pen; however, the label was placed beneath the large bottle of water.

Meanwhile the 1300mL large bottle of water only cost 4 yuan.

After Qin JiaShu finished speaking, he turned and left.

Wen ZhiChu looked at that price tag, unable to return from his thoughts for a long, long time. mquF60

“Skycat Genie, is this real?”

[System: It’s Hi, Skycat.]

Wen ZhiChu: “…… Hi, Skycat.”

[System: It’s real.] po4fE1

Qin JiaShu went to pay for the water. Seeing him come over, his companion said: “Qin-ge, how come you went over there for so long?”

Qin JiaShu found some random excuse to cover up half-heartedly: “There were a lot of people in line.”

“Alright then, let’s hurry and return. It will be evening self-study soon.”

Qin JiaShu didn’t say anything. Holding the water, he walked in the direction of the school building. He didn’t know if it was intentional or accidental, but lately, he has been running into Wen ZhiChu a lot more times than before. bieYSO

Even though the other had also caused him plenty of trouble in the past, but……

Qin JiaShu looked down at the water in his hand.

…It’s better to avoid that kind of troublesome and annoying type of person.

After Wen ZhiChu bought the water and returned to class, there was still 10 minutes until evening self-study. Recalling the private chat he had this afternoon with the English teacher, he decided to work hard on English during today’s evening self-study. ra KuI

However, the literature homework today consisted of another set of mock exam questions. For a second, he didn’t know how to schedule his time.

Soon afterwards, he decided to split the time in half.

During the brief break right before 8pm, 2nd-to-last scooted over next to him: “Hey, I saw that you’ve been studying all night. Aren’t you tired?”

Looking at him, Wen ZhiChu shook his head. C5yQdM

“Stop studying already. Let me show you how to play this game. As a new player, you get double the gold coin rewards from novice tasks.”

Wen ZhiChu refused: “No…no need.”

2nd-to-last was astonished: “Why?!”

Wen ZhiChu stuttered slowly: “The book…books have their own house of gold.” voPYdx

For a moment, 2nd-to-last was speechless: “Aren’t you bored over here, just writing, writing and writing?”

Looking at him, Wen ZhiChu suggested: “How…how about we do it together?”

2nd-to-last wanted to refuse, but Wen ZhiChu said first: “The literature…questions are collected first thing tomorrow morning. You won’t have time to copy.”

2nd-to-last was stunned briefly. That does seem to be the case. In the end, he resigned to fate and took out the questions. Jws2dy

Wen ZhiChu kindly reminded him: “If there are any…any verses from the ancient poems that you can’t fill in, you can look through the book. The book… has everything inside it.”

2nd-to-last waved his hand and indicated that he got it.

Skycat Genie looked at Wen ZhiChu’s table. On the right side were literature questions. On the left side were English vocabulary words. The system couldn’t help but ask.

[Won’t you get things mixed up studying like this?] egraY

Wen ZhiChu shook his head firmly: “No, they’re based on different languages.”

Skycat Genie fell silent for a few seconds and then said suddenly: [The endless mountains and winding rivers leave doubt for a way out.]

Wen ZhiChu replied instinctively: “Don’t add to behind make.”

[System: Oh right, you won’t be mixing them up.] ZFLyDq

Wen ZhiChu: ……

Wen ZhiChu looked down at the literature questions and grumbled, finding an excuse for himself: “I just looked at it for too long and couldn’t react properly.”

[System: Ah, sure sure sure.]

“……” Gjt6xb

Wen ZhiChu wrote for a little while longer and said: “Skycat Genie, are systems all so rebellious towards their hosts?”

[System: Young man, what are you trying to say?]

Wen ZhiChu muttered: “Aren’t systems generally good at blind flattery?”

[System: Who did you hear that from?] ZJ2Ksx

“The books.” Wen ZhiChu: “Is that not… true?”

[System: Stop reading those random nonsense in the future.]

“……”

Wen ZhiChu said, feigning nonchalance: “Oh, I understand now. It’s definitely because you’re special.” wTSD6B

[System: Young man, I really couldn’t tell before. When you speak outside, you’re always stuttering and stammering. Yet behind doors, you’re actually a tyrant at home.]

Wen ZhiChu was stunned briefly, then his cheeks instantly flushed red: “No…No I’m not.”

Skycat Genie flipped open his human observation diary, and said righteously and with convictions: [My host is a resentful and home tyrant kind of human.]

Wen ZhiChu: …… UIvjdb

Why did he have to go and provoke it?!

Seeing no way of retorting, Wen ZhiChu said very childishly: “It’s fine if you don’t know how to speak words of flattery. I wouldn’t think any less of you.”

Skycat Genie: ?

Wen ZhiChu: “Since Siri can do it instead.” woG9MR

[System: I can too!]

Wen ZhiChu couldn’t hold back from laughing.

By the time school was almost over, Wen ZhiChu had also finished the mock exam questions and got prepared to pack up his school bag. However, just as the class soaked in the happy atmosphere of almost leaving school, the homeroom teacher walked inside.

The homeroom teacher: “Everyone, put down the pens in your hands and listen to this teacher say a few words.” GNHJyx

Seeing most of the students still moving around, the homeroom teacher’s eyebrow twitched, and his tone became far more serious than before: “Everyone, also put down your school bags. I have something to say!”

The initially still somewhat clamorous classroom let out an exceptionally uniformed: “Ah~?”

Looking at this group of misbehaving students, the homeroom teacher smacked the table: “Ah again and school will let out 10 minutes later tonight. If I can’t finish saying what I need to say, don’t even think about leaving.”

Sure enough, as soon as heading home was mentioned, it instantly became silent beneath the podium. kjZfol

The homeroom teacher cleared his throat: “The Provincial English Essay Contest has started accepting registrations and submissions around this time. Anyone who’s interested can enroll to participate. After all, if you obtain a spot in the rankings or receive an award, this is a provincial level commemoration, which is different from the ones hosted by the city or school. The monetary award is higher. In addition, it will assist you in the future during your 3rd year of high school to obtain a guaranteed admission to college.”

Saying this, he looked around the classroom: “Students, do you all understand?”

The students together: “We understand.”

“There are plenty of applicants enrolling from our school. The school takes into consideration what’s convenient for the students. If any student wishes to participate in the contest, you can enroll with me right now and just submit your contest entries tomorrow. There’s a teacher in school in charge of bringing all the essays to the contest.” uvMdKm

Saying this, the homeroom teacher clapped his hands: “Students who wish to enroll can raise your hands right now. I will record your names.”

“…….”

The homeroom teacher asked one more time: “Are there any students who want to enroll? The award is at the provincial level!”

“…….” lY73q

[System: Young man, are you not going to enroll? The teacher said that it’s related to college admissions.]

Wen ZhiChu: “Although it’s related to college admissions, this doesn’t seem to be related to me.”

[System: How is it not related?]

For a second, Wen ZhiChu found it impossible to answer. After a long time, he finally said: “Perhaps… it’s not meant to be.” ESTBHd

[……]

[System: Participation is the key to everything.]

Wen ZhiChu: “That’s a provincial-level English essay.”

[System: So?] 9fsNoU

Wen ZhiChu: “My English score is 55.”

[System: ……]

Sitting below, Wen ZhiChu didn’t make a sound. However, he suddenly recalled the scene inside the English department this afternoon. Qin JiaShu seemed to have enrolled in this contest.

For a second, he couldn’t help but think: if it’s Qin JiaShu, he should be able to take first place no problem. Qpa4mW

Inside his memories, besides the portion on hating Qin JiaShu, there was also a portion on how amazing and dazzling the other was. Although this person had two faces one in front and one behind others, Qin JiaShu’s hard work and studiousness in all aspects were unquestionable.

He had strived and fought to obtain everything himself. Even though his family had both money and power, he has never used his family’s prestige to resolve anything.

In the end, under the homeroom teacher’s encouragement, a few students enrolled in the contest.

However, despite being as fast as possible, school still let out 10 minutes later than usual. hVLrp9

Wen ZhiChu looked at the time. If he didn’t want to feed the mosquitoes tonight, he had 3 minutes to run to the bus stop.

Pretty much as soon as the homeroom teacher said ‘school’s out’, he ran out with his school bag on his back.

The evening wind traveled through the light and shadows of the streetlamps, rustling the lush tree leaves. Wen ZhiChu just ran out of the campus gates when he saw the public bus passing by in front of him.

Wen ZhiChu: ! ESzaO6

The bus stop was right ahead of him. The young man widened his steps and dashed forward. Fortunately, he managed to make it in the end.

Huffing and puffing, Wen ZhiChu inserted a coin and sat down. Then he reached into his pocket and discovered that something didn’t seem right.

Two, four, six… seven!

He lost a yuan during the run! xUYGSo

Wen ZhiChu instantly became somewhat flustered: “Hi! Xiao Ai, I lost a yuan during the run!”

Noticing no reply from the system, Wen ZhiChu continued to say: “How come you’re not saying anything?”

[System said slowly: Are you talking to me?]

Wen ZhiChu instantly returned to his senses. Just now, he was too flustered and called Skycat Genie the wrong name! tfCQis

[System: Who is Xiao Ai?!]

“…….” Wen ZhiChu pretended to be dead and refused to reply.

[System: Look me in the eyes, brat!]
