Holding the water in his hand. Qin JiaShu looked at the person in front of him, dark eyes bottomless.
During the morning, Ji FengChang claimed that Wen ZhiChu was here. Originally Qin JiaShu thought he was joking.
Unexpectedly, while getting water during intermission break, he really did end up seeing him. Finally, he gave the other a once over.
One week of absence, but still as annoying and irritating as ever.
Yet no matter how much he disliked the other, Qin JiaShu didn’t show any emotions on his face.
Hearing the mechanical voice inside his head, Wen ZhiChu froze in place for a moment.
He originally wanted to say a few words of praise, but he got nervous and started stuttering.
The words were supposed to be “That’s all it took for you to win me over”, but his nervousness directly cut the sentence in half. Before he connected the rest of the words, he already heard the notification for a completed mission. For a second, Wen ZhiChu was mystified.
“Skycat Genie, the mission is completed?”
[System: Yes.]
With lingering fears, Wen ZhiChu looked up at Qin JiaShu: “But he’s smiling.”
[System: What’s the use of smiling.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: He’s unhappy on the inside.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Emotions flashed across Qin JiaShu’s brilliant black eyes fleetingly. On his face hung the usual captivating smile.
However, Wen ZhiChu felt like his smile didn’t reach his eyes.
Wen ZhiChu swallowed his saliva and backed up two steps, thinking to himself how many of Qin JianShu’s punches he could take.
He examined the other up and down briefly. Qin JiaShu had just got off the basketball court. His hair was brushed behind his head. His body was full of radiance and power belonging to youths of this age. The contour of the muscles on his arms even bulged slightly due to the exercise just now.
If he were to genuinely raise his hand…
Probably just one punch.
[System: Young man, to the best of my knowledge, humankind’s power and potential are limitless. I won’t allow you to look down on yourself like this.]
Wen ZhiChu felt a bit surprised.
Alright then, two punches.
[System: ……]
Just as Wen ZhiChu considered which pose he should use when falling to the ground, Qin JiaShu said: “Wen-tongxue feels it was so-so?”
The other’s handsome face did not display any hints of displeasure. His tone was flat and indifferent, without any care; however, he stared unblinkingly at Wen ZhiChu.
Wen ZhiChu felt his heart skip a beat. Unsurprisingly, the girls crowding around Qin JiaShu all turned their heads unhappily.
“Upperclassman is so amazing at playing basketball. You’re just jealous.”
“Unable to eat the grape, so you complain that the grape is sour.”
Meng Yan also gave him a dissatisfied glance: “JiaShu is very handsome and cool.”
“No matter how you slander Qin-tongxue, it’s useless. Qin-tongxue is very outstanding regardless.”
It took quite a while for Wen ZhiChu to escape from the overwhelming torrent of verbal criticisms. When he looked up again, Qin JiaShu had already disappeared a while ago.
There were still three minutes before class. Qin JiaShu and his classmates returned to the school building.
When he reached the 5th floor, he saw the English class representative of Class 1 turning the corner holding a pile of recently collected exercise books, and planning to head to the same old English class office.
The English class representative was a girl. There were plenty of exercise books. Right before the start of class, the corridor was full of students coming and going. The class representative had no choice but to move aside and dodge out of the way. She walked somewhat cautiously as if on thin ice.
“Need help?”
A refined voice came from above. The English class representative raised her head and looked into Qin JiaShu’s handsome and kind face. Instantly, she flushed red.
“Sorry…sorry to trouble you.”
With a smile, Qin JiaShu took all of the exercise books from the other’s hands: “It’s fine.”
Seeing this, the English class representative said hastily: “Qin-tongxue, you can give some to me.”
“No need.”
His tone was very light. He spat out these two words in a concise manner.
The classmates next to him saw this and said: “Qin-ge, we are going to head back first.”

But other people didn’t know Qin JiaShu. Ji FengChang, however, knew him all too well growing up together with him since they were young. A good student in front of people, an asshole behind their backs.
Yet everyone loved his act and fell for his tricks, from 80 year old ladies to 5 year old babies— even Ji FengChang’s mom was fooled by this sham.
His ears were practically about to grow calluses from his mom’s nagging.
“Just look at your grades. I would feel ashamed to even tell others about them! That JiaShu is a top three student of the province again this year. When his mother comes to gatherings and spa dates, she’s all proud and respected. Then look at you!”
The wealthy ladies of the upper echelon class pretty much focused their topics of discussion on just these things. Gossip about the ongoings of the world was a must. Besides that, they chat about their husbands, then their kids afterwards. Beyond that was assets and luxury goods.
Ji FengChang was unaffected: “Woman, don’t always compare yourself to others.”
Mama Ji raised her hand and immediately smacked him over the head: “Not ambitious at all. This deadbeat behavior is just like your dad.”
Reading newspaper to the side, Papa Ji, who received unexpected collateral damage, silently gave him a glance.
The eye gesture seemed to say—
Why did you provoke her?
“……”
When Qin JiaShu came back, Ji FengChang said: “Let’s go to the internet cafe tonight and group up. Coming?”
Qin JinShu shot him a glance.
Although the other didn’t speak, Ji FengChang knew that he agreed.
Ji FengChang said mischievously: “Qin-gege, I’ll be counting on you to carry me tonight.”
Wen ZhiChu returned to his classroom. His heart, which was beating like a drum, finally calmed down gradually. He took out a glass of water and took a few sips.
[System: Young man, how does it feel to complete a mission?]
Wen ZhiChu: “Pretty good.”
[System: Out of all the hosts I’ve had, you’re the fastest to complete a mission.]
Praised suddenly, Wen ZhiChu felt somewhat embarrassed. He brushed his hair and laughed foolishly, saying: “Actually, it was nothing.”
[System: When others become villains, they need to plot painstakingly, but you don’t need to.]
Hearing these words, Wen ZhiChu thought they seemed a bit strange.
[System: You’re naturally gifted.]
“……”
Feeling like he was force-fed a poisonous piece of candy, Wen ZhiChu: “Thank you.”
[System: No need to be humble.]
Wen ZhiChu was temporarily speechless.
[System: Out of all the hosts I’ve had, you give me the least worries.]
Wen ZhiChu asked skeptically: “How many hosts did you have in total?”
[System: Two.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Very good. The last one went to prison. Of course he’d be the one that gives the least worries.
Wen ZhiChu stopped replying to Skycat Genie. He took out his pen and started to fill in his physics notes.
[System: Young man, you seem somewhat unhappy.]
Wen ZhiChu concentrated on writing with his head down: “No.”
[System: You can touch the inside of your pocket right now. This will make you happy.]
He stuck his hand inside skeptically. Inside his pocket was the 10 yuan that he was rewarded for completing the mission.
Wen ZhiChu: “Skycat Genie.”
[System: No need to thank me. This is what you deserve.]
Wen ZhiChu: “I……”
[System: I already said it. There’s no need for words of gratitude.]
“No, I only wanted to ask if it can be changed to coins. I want to take the bus home.”
[……]
In the end, Wen ZhiChu received 10 coins like he wanted. He had read the bus stop sign this morning. The evening self-study for the 2nd year high school students ended at 930pm. The last bus ride left at 10 pm.
He didn’t even need to make dinner and can eat at school.
Just as Wen ZhiChu planned happily, the mechanical voice inside his head sounded like the devil’s whisper next to his ear.
[System: Villain’s mission. Skip the evening self-study. 50 yuan is rewarded for completing the mission. The villain score will increase 1%. Failing the mission deducts 10 yuan.]
The smile on Wen ZhiChu’s face instantly froze.
“Skycat Genie?”
[System: I’m here.]
Wen ZhiChu found it hard to laugh: “Are you the roundworm in my stomach?”
Unexpectedly, the mechanical voice actually sounded somewhat bashful: [We have not reached the point of intimacy where we’re inseparable.]
“……”
As soon as he finished rejoicing over being able to eat dinner at school, he was notified about this villain’s mission.
Wen ZhiChu looked down at the 10 coins in his hand. If the mission failed, then it’d really be ‘spending money where he made it’. He can forget about even taking a penny home.
In the last self-study class of the afternoon, the Dean came to inspect everyone. He walked around the corridors symbolically. When he passed the 2nd year Class 11, he glanced inside the class through the back door. His stern expression froze briefly before he marched inside.
Class 11, which was originally still whispering amongst each other, instantly fell silent.
The Dean walked onto the podium and scanned around. There was no student in class doing anything unrelated to schoolwork. Even Wen ZhiChu was reading his book.
The Dean was somewhat astonished.
This kid… was pretty good at pretending to be human.
“Cough cough! Everyone, put down your pens. I have something to say.”
The students put down their pens one after another and looked up towards the Dean.
Because Wen ZhiChu was guiltily thinking about skipping class, he kept his head low.
The Dean frowned: “Wen ZhiChu!”
Alarmed, Wen ZhiChu: “I… I’m not holding a pen.”
“……”
Implication: he had no pen to put down.
The Dean overlooked this little incident and said: “The monthly exams are just a few days away. I’ve noticed that your class is quieter than before and has improved a lot. This is worthy of praise, however……”
Wen ZhiChu knew, whenever the word ‘however’ appeared, the subsequent words can’t be per usual.
“However, don’t be conceited. Soon the school will be rectifying the campus atmosphere and strengthening the school’s management, especially in the areas of skipping school, skipping class, and skipping evening self-study! Students with little schemes in your hearts, you guys better control yourselves.”
Saying this, he marched next to Wen ZhiChu: “Wen ZhiChu-tongxue, do you understand?!”
Wen ZhiChu swallowed: “I under…understand.”
The Dean pushed up his glasses: “Don’t think I’m unaware of what you’re thinking about right now. I am the roundworm in your stomach.”
Wen ZhiChu shrunk back slightly: “Tea…teacher, we have not reached the point of intimacy where we’re inseparable.”
The Dean: ……
Skycat Genie: ……
The Dean was stunned briefly, then he cleared his throat: “You best know, if you skip class, you better pray I don’t catch you.”
It wasn’t until the Dean left the classroom and disappeared from sight that Wen ZhiChu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
[System: What do you plan to do next?]
Wen ZhiChu thought briefly and said: “Listen to the Dean’s words.”
[System: Not skipping class?]
Wen ZhiChu: “Don’t get caught by him.”
[……]
Actually after Wen ZhiChu was named specifically, he also thought perhaps he should give up on skipping class. After all, he didn’t have the guts either. However, he then suddenly remembered something.
Before he left the house this morning, he discovered a water and electricity bill stuck to his door, a total of 200 yuan. If he doesn’t pay up this week, the water and electricity will be cut off.
However, his entire asset right now was only 107 yuan. There was still 20 yuan in his meal card. This mission’s reward of 50 yuan could be considered the money that can save his life.
Skycat Genie didn’t expect Wen ZhiChu to be so promising, already handy after completing just one villain’s mission.
[System: Alright! I knew you were naturally gifted.]
Wen ZhiChu, however, couldn’t laugh at all. Just this once. He hypnotized himself relentlessly in his heart. Just this once. He was only skipping just this once.
After the last self-study class of the afternoon was over, Wen ZhiChu took a deep breath, got up, and walked valiantly and vigorously out of the classroom.
[System: You’re feeling nervous?]
Wen ZhiChu shook his head: “No.”
[System: Really?]
As if cheering himself on, Wen ZhiChu: “No.”
[System: Alright. You’re walking with the same hand and foot.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Although this was Wen ZhiChu’s first time skipping class, he wasn’t stupid. He knew he couldn’t go through the front gates when skipping class. Therefore, he started searching for a wall to climb.
With this sweep of his eyes, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. That person’s shoulders were wide, his legs long. His physique was big and tall. Just the view of his back itself seemed extremely imposing and dashing.
Wen ZhiChu’s eyes widened unconsciously. Who else could that be, other than Qin JiaShu?!
Was he also going to skip class?
Wen ZhiChu didn’t dare to think about why Qin JiaShu would appear here. He got ready to find another wall.
However, the next second, he saw that figure leap over the wall with a simple push of his hand and 2-3 quick steps. The form was nimble and athletic, with no sloppy movements.
Both of Wen ZhiChu’s eyes suddenly lit up. The other’s movements were so effortless that he even gave Wen ZhiChu a misconception.
He felt like he could do it as well.
[System: Very good young man. This is the confidence you need!]
Wen ZhiChu nodded and marched forth extremely confidently. Immediately afterwards, he imitated Qin JiaShu’s movements.
First run, then push off, and finally jump up.
With a muffled thud, Wen ZhiChu fell to the ground firmly on his ass.
Feeling intense pain from his butt, Wen ZhiChu was completely dumbfounded.
How come this was not the same as he had imagined.
[System: Perhaps differences truly exist between one person to the next.]
“……”
Wen ZhiChu perfectly comprehended the meaning of ‘learning with the eyes, but not with the body’.
Nevertheless, he still needed to skip tonight’s self-study class.
Rubbing his butt with a scrunched-up face, Wen ZhiChu found a few rocks from somewhere else to step on. Finally, he managed to climb onto the wall.
This wall didn’t look high, but once he got up there, it started feeling scary. For a moment, even Wen ZhiChu’s calves were trembling.
This was definitely the most exhilarating activity he’s done in his entire life.
But as soon as he climbed up there, he lost his balance and tilted over to the other side.
Hit by a sense of weightlessness, Wen ZhiChu hastily squeezed both eyes in fright and clenched his teeth tightly.
However, the imagined pain did not come. Wen ZhiChu felt somewhat surprised. Finally, he opened both eyes to check the wall, feeling extremely pleased with himself; this didn’t seem very hard after all.
“How long do you plan to stay on top of me?” A cold voice spoke up. Wen ZhiChu instantly stiffened. Turning his head to the sound, he looked directly into a pair of emotionless eyes.
Shouldn’t Qin JiaShu have left already?!
Yet Wen ZhiChu saw that he just happened to drop down on top of the other.
There was no one else here. Qin JiaShu did not carry the courteous and approachable smile that he had on his face during the day.
The other’s expression was cold and indifferent, scaring Wen ZhiChu so much that he didn’t even dare to move.
“Have…have you ever heard of this song?”
Before Qin JiaShu could answer, Wen ZhiChu started to sing with a stammer.
“A Lin-meimei fell from the heavens.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
