Instantly, his drowsiness vanished completely. Wen ZhiChu jumped up from the bed.
“When did this happen?”
[System: Yesterday night.]
“Why don’t I have any memory of it?”
[System: Shouldn’t you ask yourself that?]
“……”
Wen ZhiChu sat on the bed with a dumbfounded look on his face. He did his best to recall his memories from last night.
After his relentless struggles, Wen ZhiChu discovered that he had truly forgotten everything that happened last night, completely.
Losing it even more definitively than throwing away garbage.
[System: Let me summarize your behavior last night.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: Impossible to challenge.]
“……”
Wen ZhiChu bundled himself in the bed in distress. The next time he sees Qin JiaShu, the other will probably twist off his head.
Wen ZhiChu recalled the sturdy and strong arms that Qin JiaShu exposed yesterday while running. Doing his best, Wen ZhiChu can take two hits at most.
[System: A lifetime is only a few short decades. It will pass very quickly.]
Wen ZhiChu cried tearlessly. Then he thought of something and asked: “Skycat Genie, how did I get home yesterday?”
[System: Qin JiaShu brought you back.]
Wen ZhiChu was shocked: “Why would he do that?” He had even claimed to be the other’s dad.
[System: Perhaps he wanted to show you filial piety.]
Wen ZhiChu: “….. Does this count as picking at someone’s scabs?”
[System: No? Your scab didn’t even pass 24hrs. It hasn’t even closed yet. At most it counts as pouring salt to the wound.]
“…….”
Wen ZhiChu cried tearlessly. Stop talking. Stop talking already.
Wen ZhiChu wrapped himself into a ball, not even wanting to go to school today. However, seeing that he was about to be late, Wen ZhiChu had no choice but to drag himself out of bed.
Reaching the bathroom sink, he brushed his teeth listlessly.
[System: Young man, let me ask you a question.]
Wen ZhiChu had bubbles in his mouth: “What question?”
[System: Do you not like me being your dad?]
Wen ZhiChu was taken aback briefly, then he shook his head: “No.”
[System: You can speak the truth.]
“Oh.” Wen ZhiChu: “Then I don’t like it.”
Skycat Genie: …..
[System: Therefore, you should have realized something from yesterday’s events.]
Wen ZhiChu: “What?”
[System: Do unto others as you would others onto you.]

“……” Qfc ItlJte klat j cewy fzqgfrrlbc bc tlr ojmf: “Ktjcx sbe, Jja-ijbrtl.”
[System: Educating a son improperly is a father’s error. Yesterday night… I was also at fault.]
“…… Yt.”

Seeing this, Skycat Genie comforted, saying.
[System: It’s time for school.]
Wen ZhiChu shook his head: “It’s time for departure.”
Wen ZhiChu was well aware of his location on campus. It’s also good that the sports festival will last two days, so he can move about freely on campus today. As such, he could avoid Qin JiaShu perfectly.
[System: You can avoid it for a moment, but you can’t avoid it for a lifetime.]
Wen ZhiChu, with a profound look: “There’s a saying, called living the moment.”
Skycat Genie: ……
Most of the events yesterday were very intense. In comparison, today’s sports activities were more casual and fun.
2nd-to-last and a student from the class signed up for the two man, three legged race. Seeing Wen ZhiChu walk over, 2nd-to-last patted him on the shoulder.
“Wen-son, remember to cheer for daddy later when daddy is competing. Using that voice of yours from yesterday is fine.”
Yesterday, Wen ZhiChu’s voice could be described as a thunderous roar breaking through heavy barricades.
Seeing Wen ZhiChu blank and unresponsive, 2nd-to-last felt strange: “Don’t want to?”
Wen ZhiChu said: “The conditions do not permit it.”
“……”
With this voice, 2nd-to-last seemed to have seen the Great Sahara Desert. Yesterday, Wen ZhiChu yelled too fervently, which caused his voice to remain hoarse even now.
2nd-to-last patted Wen ZhiChu’s shoulder: “Alright, you take a rest. Oh right, remember to record me in a bit.”
Wen ZhiChu, puzzled: “Re…record for what?”
“For my girlfriend of course.”
Wen ZhiChu’s eyes widened: “You…you’re dating someone?”
2nd-to-last handed his cellphone over to Wen ZhiChu: “Remember to get my handsome side. The two of us are online dating, so we haven’t met in person yet.”
Wen ZhiChu held the cellphone firmly and looked at him: “You can date someone… without meeting them?”
“Why not?!” Saying this, 2nd-to-last started bringing up photos of a 10/10 beauty on his phone: “She goes to school in the next city. We plan to meet each other during summer break.”
Wen ZhiChu acknowledged with an ‘oh’. During the competition, he recorded some video segments using the cellphone. 2nd-to-last was pretty satisfied with them.
Although it was a casual and fun competition, standing on the sports field on such a hot day, under the direct radiation of the sun still made 2nd-to-last sweat all over.
Seeing this, Wen ZhiChu asked: “Do you need… a towel?”
2nd-to-last fanned himself with his hat: “Let me rest a moment, then I’ll grab one in a bit.”
“I… can help you grab it.”
Hearing this, 2nd-to-last was somewhat surprised. Nevertheless, he didn’t refuse. Afraid Wen ZhiChu might not find it, he said patiently: “Alright. It’s in the locker inside the changing room. My name is on there.”
Wen ZhiChu nodded, got up, and left the observers’ stand. After all, Qin JiaShu was participating in the next event. It’s best for him to not appear in front of the other any time in the near future.
He walked to the dressing room in the gymnasium not far away from the sports field, intending to find a towel for 2nd-to-last. Closing the door gently, he started to search for 2nd-to-last’s locker.
Not long afterwards, he heard the soft sound of a door opening. Wen ZhiChu didn’t pay it any mind. He found 2nd-to-last’s locker and took out the towel. As he walked outside, he passed another row of lockers. A person stood on the right most locker. That person’s figure was skinny and small, wearing a first year’s school uniform. He gave an impression of timidness. Wen ZhiChu’s sudden appearance made him jump in shock. The glue bottle in his hand even fell to the floor.
Wen ZhiChu originally had planned to walk by, but the startled sound the other made was really too loud; therefore, Wen ZhiChu looked over curiously.
Thinking that the other had encountered some kind of difficulty, he asked kindly: “Are…are you……”
The student looked at him, head lowered and a cowering expression: “Can you not tell anyone about me spreading glue on Qin JiaShu’s locker?”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Skycat Genie: ……
He didn’t even say anything.
[System: Is this called confessing without duress?]
Wen ZhiChu looked at the glue bottle on the floor. He hadn’t planned to get involved in this. After all, he was cowardly in nature and lived life following the principle of ‘the less trouble, the better” to avoid complications. He didn’t have anyone to support him after all.
However, he had originally thought the other would stop committing the crime after being discovered. Unexpectedly, just as Wen ZhiChu was about to leave, he saw the other pick the glue bottle up from the ground and clearly start to continue.
Wen ZhiChu’s brows twitched: “Are you…are you going to continue?”
That first year student said: “Just pretend you didn’t see anything.”
[System: How does he know that you have selective blindness?]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Saying this, that first year student opened the glue cap. Unexpectedly, before he even moved, his wrist was grabbed.
The first year student had an astonished expression: “Stopping me?”
Wen ZhiChu: …Saving your life.
For a moment, Wen ZhiChu lamented the other’s audaciousness. This was the main protagonist’s locker after all, covering it with glue just like that. Seeing that inexperienced technique, this must be his first time committing the crime as well so it’s likely he had never experienced a good beating.
“Aren’t…aren’t you afraid of being discovered?”
After hearing this, the other was in no hurry to answer. Instead, he examined Wen ZhiChu carefully.
Suddenly being stared at, Wen ZhiChu felt somewhat awkward for a moment. He took a small step back: “Wh..what is it?”
“You’re Wen ZhiChu?”
Wen ZhiChu was stunned. He didn’t know why the other would recognize him, but he still nodded.
Who knew, after seeing him admit it, this first year student’s eyes instantly beamed with light: “Did you come to help me?”
The entirety of Wen ZhiChu’s past deeds had been posted in the school campus’s discussion forums after all. Freeloading from Qin JiaShu’s popularity, Wen ZhiChu could count as a campus celebrity as well.
Wen ZhiChu: ???
For a second, he couldn’t really understand it. He had clearly come to promote justice, so why did he suddenly become an accomplice?
That first year student stopped what he was doing and stopped attempting to open the glue bottle. Looking at Wen ZhiChu, he said: “Did you also come to create trouble for Qin JiaShu?”
With an awkward expression on his face, Wen ZhiChu bit the bullet and admitted: “Per…perhaps.”
The first year student: “Then we can do it together.”
Wen ZhiChu shook his head: “No thanks.”
The first year student was somewhat shocked: “Do you……”
He swallowed.
“Do you find it too basic?”
Hearing this, Wen ZhiChu instantly let out a sigh of relief. After all, he didn’t want to get into an argument and make a big deal out of this. Looking at the glue in the other’s hand and recalling how Qin JiaShu had disregarded their past enmity and brought him home, he reached out and took the glue bottle.
“This is not… the way to create trouble.”
“Then what is?”
“You… you need to make him feel defeated internally.”
The first year student in confusion: “Then what do I need to do?”
Wen ZhiChu: “You can go outside right now to… to cheer for him.”
Hearing this, the first year student frowned, clearly not understanding very well.
Wen ZhiChu made up a random explanation: “If you want to destroy someone, you must first inflate them.”
The first year student: ……
Skycat Genie clapped hands like an ocean seal.
[System: How brilliant, young man. The marketing HQ needs you.]
Wen ZhiChu humbly: “Not as good as you.”
“……”
After hearing this, the first year student clearly hesitated somewhat. After all, cheering on Qin JiaShu was something that he definitely did not want to do.
Wen ZhiChu quietly placed the glue bottle into his pocket and diverted the other’s attention: “Why… why are you spreading glue on Qin JiaShu’s locker?”
Hearing this, the first year student’s face was filled with indignation: “He’s the one who rejected You Ran!”
“Who… is You Ran?”
“The girl that I like. You Ran is such a good girl, to confess to him and even write so many love letters for him. Yet in the end, he didn’t even know who she was. How can he treat her like that!”
Wen ZhiChu was stunned briefly: “The two of them failed…failed to get together, shouldn’t you be……” happy.
“No way. I won’t allow anyone to refuse You Ran. Qin JiaShu must get together with her.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Well damn. For a second, he couldn’t tell if the other was the girl’s extreme fanatic or a CP fan.
That first year student had a melancholic expression as he spoke: “After being rejected, You Ran came to me to lament, even her eyes were red from crying. However, I already know that she doesn’t like me and only came to me because I resemble Qin JiaShu.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Skycat Genie: ……
After hearing these words, Wen ZhiChu and Skycat Genie, this one person and system, both became somewhat dumbfounded.
Skycat Genie examined the person up and down.
[System: Where?]
Regardless of physique or appearance, the person in front of them had nothing to do with Qin JiaShu.
Wen ZhiChu didn’t want to offend, but still asked somewhat curiously: “How…how are you similar?”
The first year was stunned: “Can’t you tell? Everyone else say that my temperament is similar, and also this.”
Saying this, he pointed at a red birthmark on the side of his neck.
Wen ZhiChu never paid any attention before so he didn’t know if Qin JiaShu had any birthmarks on the side of his neck.
Swallowing, he said somewhat awkwardly: “Does You…You Ran feel this way also?”
The first year nodded: “She said resembling him slightly is my fortune.”
Wen ZhiChu: “……”
“But I have never felt inferior to Qin JiaShu in any aspects. I feel like I can replace him.”
For a second, Wen ZhiChu was speechless. Was this the legendary, belittling someone you want to become?
hahahahahah dog blood drama staged in high school
So many shenanigans lmaoo 😂
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
There is a 100% chance that 2nd-to-last is being catfished.
Praying for our dear 2nd-to-last! 🙏
Glue boy, glue boy, glue boy. Crazy smart like a rock. Resembles our ml…not…at…all. Can’t wait to meet the online romance of 2nd-to-last, Pfft! Also crazy smart like a pebble. These are not good role models…walk away…
Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣😳😳😳
First year student, open up your eyes! You shouldn’t be chasing a girl who only comes to you because you resemble her crush!
At this point, with so many stupid cannon fodders jumping around, I wouldn’t be surprised if Wen Zichu ascends from having to stop a lot of these people from courting death (because only he is supposed to be Qin Jiashu’s mortal enemy) AHAHAHA
