Chapter 57: Nighttime Dreams
After Qin JiaShu said this out loud, his complexion looked terrifyingly dark and his expression was stiff and rigid. Wen ZhiChu smiled brilliantly, impossible to ignore. He seemed extremely happy due to the praise.
Qin JiaShu said coldly: “Do your problems.”
Wen ZhiChu very aptly stuffed the 5 yuan in his pocket and happily started to do English practice problems.
[System: What is this called?]
Wen ZhiChu patted his pocket: “Receiving both reputation and reward.”
The reward is his money. The reputation is the praise that he had received through begging.
[System: You should try to talk less in front of your literature teacher in the future.]
Wen ZhiChu: “Why?”
[System: For her good health.]
Wen ZhiChu: …….
You’re so considerate.
After a brief moment of happiness, Wen ZhiChu felt the low pressure from the person next to him. Other than at the start of the class period, Qin JiaShu did not say another word for the rest of the time.
As if he had blocked out everything from his world.
Wen ZhiChu swallowed. He did his best to think back, but even after quite a while, he couldn’t figure out if he did anything to annoy the other. Today, he managed to get 100 on his spelling test for once. This was an extremely happy occasion.
Skycat Genie agreed inside his head.
[System: It is indeed an extremely happy occasion. Who knows when it will happen again.]
Wen Zhichu racked his brains again: “Could it be……”
[System: Could it be what?]
“Could it be.. he wants my 5 yuan!”
[System: Young man, please think more realistically. Not everyone is a beggar.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
The class dismissal bell ran. Qin JiaShu stood up and started to walk outside. The tall and straight view of his back was very decisive, as if he didn’t want to stay here for even one second longer.
[System: How come he didn’t keep you behind today.]
“It has nothing to do with him.” Wen ZhiChu instantly took all the blame: “It’s my fault.”

Seeing his dark expression, Wen ZhiChu didn’t dare to ask for homework for himself either. Looks like he will have to depend on his own initiative in the next few days.
He wanted to secretly study English and shock Qin JiaShu with his brilliance.
Seeing that Wen ZhiChu wasn’t held back for once, Mu Qing asked: “Wen ZhiChu, do you want to head back together?”
Wen ZhiChu hastily nodded: “Okay.”
As soon as he said this, he started to pack up nimbly and went back to the class with Mu Qing.
Leaving the activity room, Qin JiaShu furrowed his brows tightly, as if there were a thousand strings tangled up chaotically inside his heart, annoying and distressing. He recalled the words Wen ZhiChu had said in the staircase a few days ago. His complacency lately had indeed allowed the other to slip through the cracks.
He made a decision internally. Once midterm is over, he will cut off relations with Wen ZhiChu completely.
Although he tried to alleviate himself internally, this inexplicable irritation did not disperse even after returning home. It remained stuck inside his chest, lingering.
Qin JiaShu took a cold shower and exited the bathroom. He did his best to find something to divert his attention, wanting to throw everything that happened in the activity room this afternoon to the back of his mind. As if it were an extremely potent drug, he didn’t want to touch any of it, even in the slightest.
Leaning against his headrest in the dark of night, Qin JiaShu looked at the time and put down the book in his hand. Then he closed his eyes and sank into a deep sleep.
What you think about during the day, what you dream about at night.
No matter how hard he tried to avoid it during the day, the other still appeared in his dream clinging to him like a sticky rice cake.
Wen ZhiChu’s figure was slender and soft. Like usual, he wore a clean and tidy school uniform, carrying the smile he had in the activity room during the afternoon. His eyes were bright like they were filled with the starry sky.
In a small voice, Wen ZhiChu looked at him and stammered out his name: “Qin…Qin JiaShu.”
Qin JiaShu carried a clear aversion on his face. Evidently, he did not feel any delight in the other’s appearance: “What are you doing here?”
After saying this, he saw the other’s face flush red. Shyly glancing at him, Wen ZhiChu smiled adorably: “To…to be with you.”
For a second, a boom exploded in Qin JiaShu’s head. Before Qin JiaShu gathered his wits, Wen ZhiChu took his hand.
Qin JiaShu instinctively planned to throw the hand off, but he saw Wen ZhiChu look at him with a hurt look on his face.
“Jia…JiaShu.”
Qin JiaShu frowned deeply: “Let go.”
Wen ZhiChu shook his head silently. He looked like a soft steamed bun, but held onto Qin JiaShu’s hand tightly, not planning to let go the slightest.
Qin JiaShu’s complexion was ugly: “I will say it once again, let go.”
Wen ZhiChu looked at him pitifully with an aggrieved expression all over his face. Even though Qin JiaShu yelled at him, he did not loosen his grip on the other’s hand and asked for clarification: “Aren’t… aren’t we dating?”
Qin JiaShu’s face was black. He felt like Wen ZhiChu’s words were extremely absurd. With a cold and detached voice, he said: “When did I say I’m in a relationship with you?”
He has never responded to Wen ZhiChu’s feelings, and even wrote his aversion and rejection clearly on his face. Everything was nothing but the other’s one-sided fantasy created through the tutoring sessions in the activity room.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said these words, Wen ZhiChu began looking at him with a very frantic expression, wanting to explain. However, he started stammering even more in his panic, unable to get any sentences out.
Wen ZhiChu’s face was choked bright red, helpless like a child who had lost his beloved toy. He held Qin JiaShu’s hand tightly, as if afraid the other might run away.
It took him a while to finally grumble out: “You… you promised.”
So pitiful, those who didn’t know might even think Qin JiaShu was truly just playing with his feelings.
With a cold face, Qin JiaShu forcibly extracted his hand from the other’s grip: “I don’t remember such a thing.”
Saying this, he started to leave. Wen ZhiChu saw this and swiftly went to yank him back. Unexpectedly, Qin JiaShu didn’t even give him the chance. In panic, Wen ZhiChu threw his arms around Qin JiaShu’s arm and hugged it tightly.
“No…not allowed, you can’t renege.”
A cold smile appeared around the corner of Qin JiaShu’s mouth. A non-existent circumstance has turned into a rotten affair. He just knew that Wen ZhiChu was ridiculous and unreasonable, not as innocent as he looked— previously in the activity room was also nothing but a pretense.
Qin JiaShu turned his head and planned to give Wen ZhiChu some words of ridicule. Unexpectedly, when he looked over, he saw Wen ZhiChu’s desolate filled eyes. He saw the other hugging his arms tightly, fair-white little face pressing against him pitifully as if very dependent on him.
Qin JiaShu’s words froze for a moment. Who would have thought the other would start sulking first.
Looking at that scrunched up little face, Qin JiaShu said in a cold and hard tone: “What are you sulking about?”
Wen ZhiChu might have really gotten mad. When he spoke, his stammer was more severe than usual: “You… you don’t…don’t want to be with me.”
“I never agreed to being in a relationship with you.” Qin JiaShu’s tone was decisive. Saying this, he wanted to pull Wen ZhiChu off of him: “Everything is only your own imagination.”
“It’s…it’s not.”
Wen ZhiChu seemed unaware of how to throw a temper. Even in a panic, he only refuted softly, never to the extent of drawing a sword and pointing it at anyone.
“You prom…promised before, to start a relationship, the two…two of us, right here, you promised.”
Wen ZhiChu had a serious expression, speaking rather convincingly, as if it were true. These eyes were filled with sincerity, like it couldn’t contain anyone else but him. After saying those words, Wen ZhiChu even hooked their little pinkies together and swung meekly.
The act seemed careless, but carried a sense of purpose. It was as if Wen ZhiChu knew exactly what Qin JiaShu liked and what he should do to make Qin JiaShu agree to his requests.
Qin JiaShu felt his heart itch somewhat from being teased. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, the other’s submissiveness and clinging behavior pleasing him quite obviously.
Although ridiculous, he can’t deny that he had indeed been interested in Wen ZhiChu previously.
Complex emotions raged within his heart. In the end, however, devious thoughts possessed his heart. Qin JiaShu looked at Wen ZhiChu mockingly: “You say we’re together, how come I don’t remember?”
Hearing that Qin JiaShu might recall things, Wen ZhiChu hastily moved close to him, face red and flushed: “Just…we just got together, you might have for…forgot, but really, really, it’s true.”
“I… I really like you, sincerely.”
The mocking smile on Qin JiaShu’s face stiffened slightly. The other’s straight ball clearly hit him directly in the heart. For a second, he felt the person beside him was extremely problematic to handle.
Having thoughts was one thing, however. A relationship still depended on mutual consent. Qin JiaShu wasn’t interested in things that occur through coercion, much less bothering to play with another person’s feelings.
He forcibly removed Wen ZhiChu away from him: “Since you say we’re together, then let’s break up today.”
“W…why?”
Seeing the other’s hurt expression, Qin JiaShu’s words froze for a second. He was unable to say that he didn’t like the other.
Wen ZhiChu’s expression drooped like an injured little animal: “Why… why do we have to break up?”
This time, he didn’t dare to hug Qin JiaShu’s arm, but instead, carefully tugged on the other’s sleeve: “I don’t…don’t want to break up.”
At this time, he exuded a ‘give me another chance’ aura from head to toe.
“Did…did I not do something good enough?” Wen ZhiChu looked at Qin JiaShu: “I can… try to do better today, okay?”
Qin JiaShu didn’t understand what he was saying: “What?”
The next second, he felt a hand reach towards his belt.
Qin JiaShu’s brow jumped. He restrained the other’s hand immediately: “What are you doing?!”
Wen ZhiChu looked at him in confusion: “Help…helping you do it.”
Saying this, he even pointed to his own mouth, explaining precisely how he was going to help and what he was going to use, as if he was very familiar with this matter, having done it plenty of times before.
Qin JiaShu’s expression was terrifyingly dark: “Who taught you these things?”
Despite appearing to reject Wen ZhiChu’s approach all this time, Qin JiaShu felt that no matter how crafty the other was inside his heart, it was nothing but little schemes. In his subconscious mind, Qin JiaShu still thought Wen ZhiChu was a relatively clean piece of white paper. Who knew he’d do such a thing right now. This really exceeded his expectations.
A wave of irritation gushed out of his heart, a spark that started the raging inferno which pressured Wen ZhiChu aggressively before the other could even answer properly.
Wen ZhiChu flinched back slightly in fear and then pointed at him with a trembling finger.
Looking at the finger pointed at himself, Qin JiaShu laughed in anger. The asshole was himself. Really fucking amazing.
Looking at the bashful and submissive Wen ZhiChu in front of him, Qin JiaShu’s gaze instantly turned vicious.
At 5 o’clock in the morning, his biological clock arrived right on schedule. Qin JiaShu opened his eyes. His eyes focused on the ceiling above his head as he thought about something unknown
Then he got up, planning to take a shower. When he lifted the blanket, however, he froze.
Looking at the situation before him, his face was black as ink.
Qin JiaShu, you’re really fucking insane!
Wen ZhiChu wants to impress him! You better be happy about that Qin Jiashu!! 😭💖

My entire experience as a reader of this story is trying not to get pre-secondhand embarrassment when Qin Jiashu finds out he didn’t actually like him like that this early on…
