After Jiang Yu left, the light in Qin JiaShu’s ink-black eyes flashed. He was well aware that there were many people who liked him and pursued him. Those who secretly ran over to see him and made inquiries about his whereabouts were also not a small minority. Wen ZhiChu was only a rather troublesome one amongst those people.
If he had to reply to every single person who liked him, even the social butterfly wouldn’t be as busy as him in comparison.
Wen ZhiChu woke up from the afternoon nap and sat up in bed, the sunlight illuminated his figure and created a shadow on the wall.
[System: Why is your shadow so strange?]
Wen ZhiChu didn’t understand: “What’s the matter?”
Skycat Genie continued to deliver a second jab.
[System: Like an umbrella opened up over your head.]
Wen ZhiChu touched his hair, which had curled upwards slightly because of the nap, and thought it wasn’t that bad.
He looked at the time. It was 10 minutes before class. He tidied up simply and planned to return to class.
The summer afternoon was still scorching hot. Wen ZhiChu did his best to walk the path with the most shade.
[System: You actually know to walk in the shade.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……He only stuttered when he spoke; it’s not like he was stupid.
Recalling something afterwards, Wen ZhiChu said: “Skycat Genie.”
[System: I’m here.]
Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together: “Do you think Qin JiaShu will come back this afternoon?”
[System: Do I look like him to you?]
“…….”
Alright. I already know you didn’t know.
Wen ZhiChu sighed. If the other doesn’t come today, he can say goodbye to today’s mission.
As he walked to the education building, Wen ZhiChu passed the supermarket and glanced inside incidentally. Through the glass door of the supermarket, he saw lollipops placed on top of the cashier’s counter.
Suddenly, he felt somewhat tasteless in his mouth.
He arrived in this world 3 months now, but has never even eaten a bite of snacks.
Skycat Genie followed Wen ZhiChu’s yearning gaze and looked over.
[System: If you want to eat it, just buy it.]
Wen ZhiChu didn’t stop walking: “Qin JiaShu didn’t come today. I can’t finish the mission, so I won’t be spending any money.”
[System: Since Qin JiaShu didn’t come today and you can’t finish the mission, the money that you don’t spend will still end up getting deducted by me.]
“…….”
Wen ZhiChu, who was still marching forward, instantly reversed directions and walked towards the supermarket without hesitation.
The lollipops weren’t costly anyways. Wen ZhiChu bought two. Instantly, his mood turned much better and he walked towards the educational building happily.

Seeing him come in, Second-to-last looked at the two locks of hair that curled up on his head: “Nice hairstyle.”

[System: Giving up just like this?]
Qfc ItlJte: “Ktfs’gf atf bcfr atja jgf abb afcjmlber.”
[System: So?]
“Po sbe mjc’a yfja atfw, pblc atfw.”
[System: ……Alright then. That does suit your temperament pretty well. This style has been popular lately anyways.]
Wen ZhiChu asked skeptically: “What kind of style.”
[System: The beggar style.]
“…….”
Not long after Wen ZhiChu arrived in class, the bell rang. He placed the candy that he held back inside his pocket. When class finished, he immediately rushed upstairs to Class 1. Like a little bird that returned to its nest, he had already completely forgotten about the candy in his pocket.
Wen ZhiChu sneakily stopped at Class 1’s backdoor. Class 1 had physics class this period. Because the teacher didn’t finish lecturing on a topic, the class continued overtime.
Wen ZhiChu was terrified of disturbing the teacher’s lecture. He softened his footsteps and quietly clung to the spot behind the door.
Looking inside, his eyes instantly lit up. In the seat that had been empty this morning, he saw someone sitting there right now.
Wen ZhiChu stared at Qin JiaShu closely with an intense gaze.
[System: Their class is not over; you can’t do the mission, so why are you staring at him so long for?]
Wen ZhiChu mumbled, saying: “Don’t you think he looks like 200 yuan?”
[……]
Perhaps because his gaze was too scorching, when Qin JiaShu turned his head, he immediately met Wen ZhiChu’s shiny, zestful eyes. The other looked at him without blinking, as if his gaze couldn’t contain anything else in the surroundings. Seeing Qin JiaShu look over, Wen ZhiChu’s originally full, round eyes instantly curved slightly in a smile, just like the bright moon in the sky, clean and pure.
Qin JiaShu froze slightly as he held his pen. For a second, he thought this was a delusion from his own mind, so he took another glance.
He saw Wen ZhiChu standing by the backdoor, poking his head inside. There were even two locks of hair curving upwards on the top of his head, fluttering in the wind.
Looking not very smart.
Sure enough, it was a delusion.
Qin JiaShu shifted his gaze away and ignored that person’s existence.
Seeing Qin JiaShu looking over, Wen ZhiChu panicked for a second. But the money-tree filter that activated automatically inside his heart was extremely deceptive. At this moment, Qin JiaShu was to him, just 200 yuan.
He was just about to raise his hand and give a silent greeting when he saw Qin JiaShu turn his head and withdraw his gaze.
Wen ZhiChu was taken aback: “How come he stopped looking at me?”
[System: Perhaps the 200 yuan also has his own thoughts and opinions.]
Wen ZhiChu was enlightened and decided to respect the 200 yuan.
However, it’s unknown if this physics topic was somewhat beyond the scope of the syllabus or something, the physics teacher couldn’t even finish lecturing it during breaktime. Wen ZhiChu waited restlessly outside the door, but the next class was about to start soon. He didn’t dare to be late for English class, so he had no choice but to return to his classroom first.
One minute before the start of the next class, the physics teacher finally picked up his materials and left.
“Students, class is over. You can do whatever you planned to do.”
Immediately after the physics teacher left, plenty of students charged out the door.
“Fck, finally the class is over, I was suffocating to death.”
“Just who was it that asked that question, stand up and show yourself!!!”
That student was actually quite responsible and courageous enough to accept the consequences of their actions: “It was me. I was wrong. I won’t do it next time.”
“Demon, eat a punch from your great-aunty here!”
The classroom was clamorous. Qin JiaShu put away his physics book and for some unexplained reason, he glanced over towards the spot near the backdoor.
The person, who was standing there initially and staring at him, had long since left.
After the first self-study period of the evening finished at 7:30pm, Qin JiaShu received a phone call from Mama Qin.
He walked to a hidden area behind the staircase and then pressed the answer button.
“JiaShu.” The other’s sweet-tempered voice was heard.
He acknowledged it coolly: “En.”
“I heard the caretaker aunty say that you didn’t return home yesterday?”
Yesterday night Qin JiaHe had a crying fit. Before Papa Qin and Mama Qin left the house, they had promised that Qin JiaShu would return to accompany him. Who knew, Qin JiaShu never even returned home last night. The aunty taking care of Qin JiaHe really didn’t know what to do so she called Mama Qin.
Finding out that her elder son never returned home at night, Mama Qin was somewhat worried and gave him a call. Unexpectedly, Qin JiaShu’s phone was turned off.
“Went to Ji FengChang’s place.”
“How come you didn’t say something to Mama?”
Qin JiaShu stiffened and felt somewhat surprised. His originally cold tone turned somewhat gentle for a moment: “Yesterday, I had some stuff…”
“Xiao He had a crying fit yesterday wanting to see you. He said he missed his older brother.”
The low, elegant, string-like voice came to a halt. Then he was heard saying: “I will return tonight.”
Mama Qin realized that she said the wrong words. Internally, she was indeed very worried about Qin JiaShu. However, the conversation between her and her son has always been awkward and stiff like this. She was somewhat uncertain what to chat about, therefore, she used her younger son as medium to find a topic. Actually, she was also able to tell that Qin JiaShu didn’t like his younger brother. Therefore, in certain circumstances, she would eagerly talk about how Qin JiaHe missed him, was refusing to sleep and waiting for him— These words were filled with a sense of flattery.
Hoping that Qin JiaShu could accept Xiao He and build a better relationship with the family.
“Mama didn’t mean to blame you or anything. I was only worried, hearing you didn’t come all night.”
“En. Got it.” Qin JiaShu fell silent for a while and then said: “Mom.”
“What is it, JiaShu?”
“I am already an adult. There’s no need to worry anymore.” Saying this, he hung up on the phone call.
Mama looked at the phone and took a long time to recover from her thoughts. Although Qin JiaShu only said two sentences in the end, the meaning didn’t seem to be just these two sentences.
Mama Qin looked at the call record with some disappointment. JiaShu was already 18, past the age of worrying. He didn’t need it anymore.
Qin JiaShu returned to his class. Ji FengChang originally planned to head over to start a conversation. Seeing the other’s expression, he returned to his seat again.
This asshole’s mood was in the pits right now.
Because he didn’t find the chance to get near Qin JiaShu this afternoon, Wen ZhiChu changed his attack plan and decided to intercept him during school dismissal. After all, Qin JiaShu was responsible for shutting the classroom lights so he was the last person to leave everyday.
When the dismissal bell rang, Wen ZhiChu packed his school bag leisurely.
[System: The slower you pack your things, the more wretched you’re going to look trying to catch the bus in a bit.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
After putting away all of his things, Wen ZhiChu went to Class 1 with his bookbag on his back. At this time, large groups of students were walking downstairs. Only Wen ZhiChu went against the tide by himself.
Arriving at the entrance of class 1, he saw Qin JiaShu still sitting in his seat, writing something. Wen ZhiChu stood at the doorway looking at him. The other had no expressions while he studied, his face extremely serious. His large hand, which had distinctive bone joints, held a black writing pen that glided and turned on the paper.
“Skycat Genie, are you seeing what I’m seeing?”
Hearing this, Skycat Genie also scrutinized Qin JiaShu carefully. Other than being handsome, Qin JiaShu’s face was filled with more handsomeness. However, afraid of giving Wen ZhiChu a mental blow saying this outloud, Skycat Genie asked instead.
[System: Notice what?]
Wen ZhiChu: “His pen runs smoother than mine.”
[System: …… Oh.]
When Qin JiaShu finally got up, Wen ZhiChu hastily walked to the backdoor and revealed himself. He let Qin JiaShu to see him and then started to pass through the backdoor there, jumping in and out repeatedly.
I’m inside, I’m outside, I’m inside again……
Skycat Genie watched his bewildering behavior with some disdain.
[System: What are you doing?]
Wen ZhiChu explained openly and honestly: “Doing something he hates.”
Skycat Genie didn’t understand: ?
“Going through the backdoor.”
[System: ……]
Now this can be said to be the very literal meaning of going through the backdoor.
But unexpectedly, after Qin JiaShu packed his stuff, he didn’t even spare Wen ZhiChu a glance before starting to leave.
Seeing this, Wen ZhiChu instantly panicked: “Qin…Qin JiaShu, don’t…don’t go yet.”
Qin JiaShu heard the call and subconsciously turned his head back. After taking a glance at Wen ZhiChu, he swiftly withdrew his gaze again.
Wen ZhiChu: !
Seeing him about to leave again, Wen ZhiChu hastily stepped forward. The person who had planned to leave originally felt a yank to the back of his clothes. Turning his head, he immediately met Wen ZhiChu’s yearning gaze.
This kind of expression again.
Wen ZhiChu was afraid that Qin JiaShu might run away; however, after meeting the other’s gaze, he was then somewhat afraid of holding onto the other. For a second, he yanked at Qin JiaShu’s clothes, somewhat conflicted. While the other still had patience, Wen ZhiChu hastily returned to the backdoor. Afraid the other might ignore him, he even added with a stammer: “Qin…Qin JiaShu, look at me.”
Then, like a groundhog, he entered and exited Class 1’s backdoor, jumping in and out repeatedly.
Qin JiaShu: ……
WHAT’S HE DOING AHAHHAHAH it’s midnight i shouldn’t laugh out loud but I did ahhahahahahhahah
another topic is how oblivious is Qin Jiashu mom. He clearly misses her very much and people at all age desire affection and companion. How could she just dismiss his feelings with her own disappointment? She’s just blind to her oldest son, just as before
The whole family needs family therapy and I wish the dad wouldn’t be so dismissive as to be even worse than the mom. They both failed and refuse to face it properly and try to make amends.

Thanks for the chapter! Hopefully Wen ZhiChu silly attempt to annoy him can lift up Qin JiaShu’s mood a lil bit. Honestly his parents should serious look at their actions and apologize to their son and perhaps try to built a better relationship with him too. They failed him as parents
+1
Wen ZhiChu has two lollipops so I’m hoping he gives Qin JiaShu one and that after Qin JiaShu has his inevitable confrontation with his family after getting home he can pull out the lolly and remember someone cares.
Hahahha i cannot with his little antics, pfft.
WZ: i look at you like the god of wealth you are for me
QJ: ….
WZ: now, increase my villain level and grant me MONEY!!!! (Acts like a groundhog)
Skycat genie: (facepalms) you are embarrassing, host, nyaah!
QJ: something must be broken in this kid’s brain
Alsoo, yeah. The mother thinks that using the youngest child to be closer and ease the relationship between them would work but it only serves to drive a wedge. The kid is so spoiled in Jiashu’s eyes because the way he grew up was different and the parents, especially the mom, always want him to cater to the kid. I get that the mom feels it is awkward but the way she tries to connect with her eldest son by using the youngest is plain stupid. She keeps pushing him away instead and doesn’t even try to understand what her eldest son truly is like as a person.
His interpretation is hilarious… in and out… lmao! Dying with the hopping in the backdoor and out! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣
Why is he such an adorable idiot 🤣🤣
Thanks for the chapter!
yes, he does need it!! worry about him, take care of him, do whatever a parent should do!! him being 18 shouldn’t be an excuse for you to stop caring goddamnit
I don’t know what’s going on 😂 Poor QJS (and bubu too, but in other aspect), it’s so sad to see his family drama :<
Thank You for the new chapter ♡〜٩( ╹▿╹ )۶〜♡
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Poor Jiashu just needed a warm loving hug… Or maybe seeing chuchu acting stupid will make his mood better who knows 😂
OH MY THE SECONDHAND EMBARRASSMENT😭😭😭
Thank you for the chapter!
The second hand embarrassment is killing me but I can’t stop reading 💀🖐🏾
HE’S SO SILLY ILH 😭
… bro, I have no words about this mother, my indignation is so much that I don’t even know where to start.
chuchu what are you doing hahahahahaha
thanks for the chapter!
