The first year student: …….
After receiving that glance, the two people’s hearts were still pounding with trepidation somewhat in the aftermath.
The first year found himself unable to speak even more so. This was actually his first time being in such close contact with Qin JiaShu. In the past, because of his disdain and jealousy towards Qin JiaShu, he would walk off with a stink face immediately after catching a glance of the guy from afar. Seeing Qin JiaShu just now, even his legs felt soft like noodles.
Without even commenting on the other’s outer appearance, Qin JiaShu exuded an invisible pressure that was enough to make people suffocate.
The first year student then looked towards Wen ZhiChu. For Wen ZhiChu to create so much trouble for Qin JiaShu in the past and still escape unscathed, such a warrior.
Wen ZhiChu patted him on the shoulder: “He…he’s scary, right?”
The first year nodded.
Wen ZhiChu returned the glue in his hand back to the other, anticipating that with this encounter, the other would not dare to create trouble for Qin JiaShu anymore: “Therefore…. you have to behave in the future.”
The first year: “To not become like him?”
Wen ZhiChu: “To not…not get beaten by him.”
The first year: ……
Terrified that Qin JiaShu will be coming out after changing clothes, the two released their grip around each other’s shoulders. After separating, they left on their respective ways. Wen ZhiChu hurried back to the sports field with the towel.
Reaching the location of his class and searching around, he found 2nd-to-last sitting alone in the corner.
Wen ZhiChu stepped forward: “So…sorry, ran into something and came back late.”
2nd-to-last looked upwards towards the sky with a profound expression on his face: “No problem.”
Seeing this, Wen ZhiChu was somewhat puzzled: “What…what’s the matter?”
2nd-to-last shook his head: “Even if I explain, you won’t understand.”
Wen ZhiChu became even more curious: “What if… I understand.”
2nd-to-last glanced at him: “You’re single, right?”
Wen ZhiChu nodded with a blush.
“Then you don’t know shit.”
Wen ZhiChu: …What’s with the discrimination.
The next event that 2nd-to-last signed up for was about to start. The activity coordinator was shouting for people to check in. 2nd-to-last stood up melancholically: “Wen-son, daddy is going.”
“……” Seeing that the other did not hand him his cellphone, Wen ZhiChu asked helpfully: “Do you need me to help… help you record?”
2nd-to-last sighed: “No need.”
Wen ZhiChu, confused: “Your girlfriend… doesn’t want to watch it?”
2nd-to-last with an embarrassed expression: “We split.”
“Why?”
2nd-to-last had an uncomfortable expression, like he didn’t want to reply: “She called me on WeChat just now.”
On top of Wen ZhiChu’s clever little head, a ? slowly appeared.
2nd-to-last turned away decisively: “The voice chat accidentally turned into a video chat.”

Wen ZhiChu: ……

“Pcofmafv klat ktja?”
[System: Your misfortune.]

Seeing him like that, Wen ZhiChu comforted him carefully: “Do you want to cry… cry for a bit?”
“How embarrassing would that be?” 2nd-to-last: “Real men do not shed tears lightly.”
Wen ZhiChu: “Man, cry… Crying is not a crime.”
“……”
Five minutes later, 2nd-to-last held his phone with a mask of tears. On there, the 10/10 photos were opened: “Tell me, how could these pictures be fake?!”
“How could she trick me!”
“I complied with everything she wanted. I even saved money to buy her a cellphone and yesterday, I even transferred 500 yuan to her. I just wanted to date and experience love.”
[System: Is this always the case when it comes to dating?]
Wen ZhiChu was just about to answer when he heard Skycat Genie continue to say: “Ah, I asked the wrong person. You never dated.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Seeing 2nd-to-last’s extremely remorseful appearance, Skycat Genie said.
[System: How about you avoid dating in the future.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: I’m afraid you’ll be fooled so hard, you won’t even have underwear left.]
“…….”
2nd-to-last continued to shed tears on the spot: “I will never believe in love again.” The massive psychological damage was clearly evident.
Wen ZhiChu, awkwardly: “Don’t…don’t do that.”
2nd-to-last looked at him: “You don’t need to comfort me. This relationship has made me taste bitterness.”
Wen ZhiChu comforted, saying: “Perhaps… you weren’t even dating, but had simply encountered an online scam.”
2nd-to-last looked at him stunned: “….Are you the devil?”
“……”
Well damn, he was even more sorrowful.
Wen ZhiChu didn’t expect to create this kind of result: “Don’t…don’t feel sad. Just pretend you paid money to receive a lesson.”
2nd-to-last: ……
Please don’t say anymore, don’t say anymore!!!
People usually comfort others patiently; Wen ZhiChu was just pouring salt on the wound.
Wen ZhiChu, bewildered: “Why does he look even more heart-broken?”
[System: Perhaps he was touched by your works.]
Wen ZhiChu got it and sat down next to 2nd-to-last quietly, looking at him. After experiencing this incident, 2nd-to-last lost plenty of interest.
After the sports festival ended, it was the weekend. Wen ZhiChu looked at the WeChat display on his phone. There was no message for commissions. Summer vacation was half a month away. It couldn’t go on like this.
[System: What do you plan to do?]
Wen ZhiChu laid on the bed: “See if there’s any summer jobs recruiting when the time comes and earn some extra cash.”
After all, he still owed plenty of money for Qin JiaShu’s cellphone.
[System: How about you stop returning money to him. It’s not like the protagonist cares anyways.]
Wen ZhiChu didn’t speak, clearly not in agreement. Seeing his stubbornness, Skycat Genie also didn’t speak anymore. Although Wen ZhiChu looked like a little piece of fresh grass that’s always timid and indecisive, regarding things he set his mind to, even when he couldn’t finish it at that moment due to difficulties, he’d still make up later for it.
School after the sports festival was heading into the month of July, right in the midst of scorching heat. Approaching the end of the class term, the learning atmosphere was also enhanced.
Mu Qing was busy collecting English homework. The English teacher wanted them handed in before the morning self-study period.
Seeing Mu Qin struggle with the task, Wen ZhiChu stepped forth and took a large portion: “Let…let me help you.”
“Okay, thanks.” Mu Qing smiled at Wen ZhiChu. Ever since the sudden incident last time in District 6, Mu Qing has changed her opinion of Wen ZhiChu. Now that two months have passed, she discovered even more that Wen ZhiChu wasn’t that annoying. With the directive from the English teacher to supervise Wen ZhiChu as well, the two of them established a friendship henceforth.
On the way there, Mu Qing looked at Wen ZhiChu: “How was your English homework from yesterday?”
Wen ZhiChu instantly remembered something and started to fumble. Seeing him like that, Mu Qing was amused, but didn’t say anything. They went together to the English department.
As soon as they turned the corner, Wen ZhiChu saw a familiar big and tall figure and stopped in his steps. Qin JiaShu looked his usual, wearing a neat and tidy school uniform. Carrying a stack of Class 1’s English homework, he walked towards the English department.
His figure was big and tall, but it did not possess a bulky feel. His broad and sturdy back seemed unyielding and forever straight and upright, as if reinforced by a steel bar. His shoulders were very wide, his chest firm and distinctive, like little mountains.
Broad shoulders and narrow waist, a body that’s 9 heads in proportion, the perfect archetype of an inverted triangle figure.
Seeing Wen ZhiChu help carry homework over, the English teacher examined him briefly: “How was your English homework from yesterday?”
Wen ZhiChu stammered: “Pre…pretty good.”
The English teacher glanced at him and then casually pulled out the booklet that’s placed at the very bottom of the pile. On it, Wen ZhiChu’s name was clearly written.
“Pretty good, then why put your booklet on the very bottom?”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
For a second, he cried tearlessly. Why couldn’t he resist the temptation just now?
The English teacher started to correct his homework right in front of him. Wen ZhiChu instantly felt his breath jump to his throat.
Seeing this, Mu Qing suppressed a smile and shook her head.
At this time, the Class 1 teacher called Qin JiaShu over: “Come and take a look at the English contest questions from the neighboring city. Many students got this question wrong. You can give it a try.”
Qin JiaShu walked next to Class 1 teacher’s computer and began to look at the problem.
Seeing this, the English teacher said: “Mu Qing, Wen ZhiChu, you guys go also.”
Hearing this, the Class 1 teacher beckoned to them as well.
Wen ZhiChu, stunned: “Me… me too?”
That was a question from an English contest. A person like him, who gets 6 points on English essays, can actually read it?
This made him feel extremely skeptical inside. He was not worthy.
[System: Looks like the English teacher still has some confidence in your ability.]
Wen ZhiChu smiled bashfully: “Is that right?”
The next second, he heard the English teacher say: “Participation is key here.”
“……”
His smile instantly vanished from his face.
Because Qin JiaShu was also there, for a second, Wen ZhiChu felt somewhat conflicted as he walked over slowly.
Seeing the two of them approaching, Qin JiaShu moved slightly to make way. His gaze did not divert the slightest from the contest question on the computer.
Although Qin JiaShu was not liked by everyone, no one was immune to that face. The famous male god of YiZhong campus. Interacting with him at close distance still made people feel somewhat shy. Mu Qing stood somewhat bashfully next to him and yanked Wen ZhiChu in as well.
Before he could even react, Wen ZhiChu found himself sandwiched in the middle.
For a second, his heart drummed wildly inside his chest.
“Skycat Genie.”
[System: I’m here.]
“I feel like I didn’t come to deliver homework, but rather to experience a tribulation.”
With the teacher in front of him, and the protagonist behind him.
The Class 1 teacher’s table area was only so big. Wen ZhiChu was afraid that Mu Qing couldn’t see properly, so he had no choice but to move towards Qin JiaShu. After all, he was only participating; he really didn’t understand anything at all.
The simple and elegant odor from Qin JiaShu’s body floated over. Wen ZhiChu took a secret glance at him. It wasn’t the thick smell of cologne. Who knew what kind of laundry detergent Qin JiaShu used, it actually smelled pretty good.
Wen ZhiChu looked at the person from the side, discovering an area of focus soon afterwards. The contours of Qin JiaShu’s neck and shoulders were distinct, the shape of his jawline sharp and rugged. A masculine Adam’s apple was prominent. There was a tiny red birthmark on the side of his neck that was very eye-catching.
So that first year student really did have the same kind.
Although Qin JiaShu’s overall appearance gave people a cultured and refined feeling, selecting any portion alone to examine all looked very wild and unrestrained, especially the arms that were concealed under the school uniform right now, which were extremely powerful.
Wen ZhiChu stared unblinkingly at that red birthmark, dazing off for a moment.
Qin JiaShu originally wanted to ignore Wen ZhiChu’s existence, but the other’s gaze was really too blatant, he had no choice but to turn and look at him.
Scared, Wen ZhiChu blinked twice. Like a little mouse caught stealing grain, he hastily turned to look at the computer. Immediately after turning his head, he looked into the densely packed English words on the screen and felt as if he were reading some obscure, Heavenly inscriptions. Somewhat uncertain if Qin JiaShu was still looking at him, he sneakily turned his head and, as expected, looked right into Qin JiaShu’s eyes.
With people around, Qin JiaShu couldn’t lose his temper. He said with a low, heavy voice: “Wen-tongxue, you’re not looking at the question?”
Wen ZhiChu: “I…I have trypophobia.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
So you just stare at one instead?
I love Wen Zhichu 😂😂
Oh, I also hope for 2nd-to-last to find his true love! I kinda wonder what the catfisher looked like..
He’s so silly 😆
Lol. So QJ is already falling for him, I wonder when WZ will start to feel the same. We already are 46 chapters in, this seems to be some long slow burn 😄
Wen ZhiChu spent an awful lot of this chapter ogling at Qin JiaShu so I think the fall has already started.
+1 it’s probably already started, but I don’t expect him to realize it for a long time. My prediction is QJS finally snaps and calls WZC out on his feelings intending to reject him before his own feelings become unbearable, WZC gets flustered and starts avoiding him while thinking “how tf could this misunderstanding have happened”, QJS gets annoyed that WZC is so easily giving up and avoiding him and decides to chase him just as WZC realizes he DOES actually like QJS
Silly boy… caught looking… pfft! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣
Aah, another chapter with praising QJS’ body~
Thank You for the new chapter (♡ ὅ ◡ ὅ )ʃ♡
