Before midterms next week, there was another tutoring session. Wen ZhiChu became even more diligent than before. As soon as class finished, he took his stuff and went to the activity room bright and early.
He did some problems first before Qin JiaShu arrived so he could ask the other about questions he didn’t know later.
The pen tip created a rubbing sound on the paper. Very quickly, the movement stopped.
Only a few minutes after Wen ZhiChu started doing problems, Skycat Genie saw him halting without advancing.
[System: You seem to have gotten stumped a bit too quickly.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
When Mu Qing arrived, she saw Wen ZhiChu struggling. She walked over to take a look: “How about I explain it for you.”
Wen ZhiChu was stunned briefly, then nodded: “Ok…okay.”
To make it more convenient for Mu Qing to read the problem, he pushed the exam paper to the side slightly. Mu Qing pulled out the seat next to him and sat down. Taking out a pen, she started to explain the thought process for solving the problem for Wen ZhiChu.
This was the scene that Qin JiaShu saw when he walked in. He saw the two people sitting close together at the long table, talking about something. Wen ZhiChu listened seriously, his gaze chasing the pen in the other’s hand. When the difficult problem was solved and he received enlightenment, he gave the other a smile unhesitatingly.
No overcautiousness or restrained tentativeness. Compared to the cautiousness of sitting next to Qin JiaShu previously, right now Wen ZhiChu’s smile was much more casual and carefree.
When there’s no comparison, there’s no damage. Qin JiaShu looked coldly at the smile on Wen ZhiChu’s face, his expression indiscernible.
While Wen ZhiChu smiled, he noticed the figure at the doorway. Raising his head to look, he saw Qin JiaShu.
Abruptly the two people’s eyes met. Wen ZhChu instantly put away his visible teeth.
Qin JiaShu: ……
Seeing that Qin JiaShu had arrived, Mu Qing hastily stood up and returned to her seat. Qin JiaShu walked over. When sitting down, he moved the chair, which was extremely close to Wen ZhiChu, outwards and put some distance between them.
Wen ZhiChu cowered slightly: “Isn’t that… somewhat too far?”
Qin JiaShu said coldly: “Don’t need to be that close to explain a problem.”
“What if… you can’t see?”
“I have hands.”
Wen ZhiChu: ?
“Can bring it over here to see.”
“……”
How reasonable.
Qin JiaShu sat there, an indiscernible expression on his face.
Skycat Genie said.
[System: Aren’t you going to ask him questions?]
Wen ZhiChu said seriously: “Right now is not the opportune time. The protagonist is emitting a ‘do not bother me peasants’ aura right now.”
[System: You’re pretty well aware of your status.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Mu Qing had given the answer to the difficult problem before, so Wen ZhiChu has not encountered any knowledge he didn’t know. Therefore, he picked up the pen and continued to write.
Qin JiaShu felt somewhat unaccustomed to the long period of silence beside him. Although Wen ZhiChu had a quiet personality baseline and wasn’t someone who was loud and noisy, inside Qin JiaShu’s dream last night, he was really too clingy, which inevitably made him feel very noticeable.

Saying this, he pushed the exam paper to the side. The two people were far apart, practically the distance of an entire person between them.
Seeing this, Qin JiaShu started to explain the problem, his voice low and sounding very distant.
At this time, the exam papers were placed in the middle. One person was writing with his arm extended. The other was listening with his neck outstretched.
[System: You guys might as well talk through the Siberian steppes.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Putting his pen down, Qin JiaShu looked at Wen ZhiChu: “Understand?”
Wen ZhiChu nodded: “Under…understand. You’re so amazing.”
Qin JiaShu turned his head away: “Stop saying useless things.”
Although the other said this, Wen ZhiChu observed Qin JiaShu’s expression and discovered that the other’s countenance was smooth and relaxed. Wen ZhiChu didn’t know if it’s his misconception, but Qin JiaShu seemed to like to hear these kinds of words very much.
Wen ZhiChu didn’t say anything. When it was time for the essay and he was planning to start his creation, Qin JiaShu spoke up for once unexpectedly.
“Wen ZhiChu.”
Wen ZhiChu turned his head to look at him.
Qin JiaShu: “The topic requires you to write an essay in English.”
Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together: “He doesn’t trust me?”
[System: You’re overthinking it. He’s just giving you a friendly reminder.]
Wen ZhiChu was taken aback. Was he not writing English essays before?
[System: Your gulugulu water can practically count as vernacular.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
During the last few days, he had memorized plenty of vocabulary. Compared to before, when he created arduously using the wordless Book of Heaven, right now writing was much more effortless for him.
After receiving Qin JiaShu’s reminder at the start, Wen ZhiChu also paid close attention to the amount of time he spent on writing the essay. This time, he finished within 20 minutes and handed it over for Qin JiaShu to read.
Qin JiaShu accepted it and started correcting. Wen ZhiChu was somewhat thirsty and drank a few sips of the water he brought.
Because his throat was dry, he drank in haste. It was inevitable that Wen ZhiChu choked.
As Qin JiaShu read, he heard a violent coughing sound next to him. Turning his head to look, he saw Wen ZhiChu’s face bright red from coughing. The other’s delicate brows were scrunched up tightly, as if he was in great discomfort.
Qin JiaShu was speechless for a moment: “Don’t you know to drink slower?”
Wen ZhiChu couldn’t breathe properly from the coughing. The corners of his eyes were slightly reddened in pain and his red tinged lips opened slightly. Due to the coughing, his voice even trembled somewhat: “Drank too…too much.”
Hearing the voice that traveled into his ear, Qin JiaShu’s hand movements stiffened. Wen ZhiChu’s slightly opened lips and reddened eyes abruptly coincided with yesterday night’s dream.
Adam’s apple bobbing, Qin JiaShu forced himself to move his gaze away from Wen ZhiChu’s face, feeling very strung up internally.
The dismissal bell sounded. Qin JiaShu put down the exam papers that he finished correcting. He got up and exited without a hint of hesitation. After walking out a distance, he let out a long breath, as if he had escaped from some kind of trial and tribulation.
The midterms proceeded as scheduled. The day Wen ZhiChu finished testing English, he returned home and collapsed completely onto the couch, like a puddle of mud.
[System: How do you think you tested?]
Unexpectedly, Wen ZhiChu reached out and pressed a finger to his lips: “Let bygones be bygones.”
[System: What if it can’t be bygone?]
“Then I’ll step over it.”
[…….]
YiZhong high school was very efficient. The midterms just ended yesterday yet the next day, most of the major subjects had already released the grades.
To no one’s surprise, Wen ZhiChu received the English teacher’s summons. Apprehensive, he walked towards the English department.
Entering the door and seeing the tea placed next to the English teacher, Wen ZhiChu instantly felt his heart sink.
“Tea…teacher.”
“You’re here.” The English teacher started searching through the exam papers: “Do you know how much you scored this time?”
Wen ZhiChu swallowed. He didn’t answer.
The English teacher placed the exam paper in front of Wen ZhiChu. Wen ZhiChu looked down, a total of 103.
Wen ZhiChu was instantly shocked: “M…Mine.”
The English teacher: “Who else, mine?”
Wen ZhiChu couldn’t control the smile on his face. A small step for mankind, a huge step for himself.
“Skycat Genie.”
[System: What’s the matter?]
“103 in English is something I’d never even dream of in my youth.”
[System: Because you didn’t know it?]
“Because full points for English was 100 points in my youth.”
Skycat Genie: ……
Seeing him like this, the English teacher reached into the drawer and handed a package to Wen ZhiChu: “For you, continue to do your best next time.”
Wen ZhiChu held the bag of skittles in his hands and smiled bashfully: “Than…thank you, teacher.”
Then he looked towards the teacup on the table: “Teacher… are you still drinking tea today?”
“Ah, I boiled that in the passing while I was correcting your test.”
Though she said it was ‘in the passing’, it might also be the successful acquisition of a habit. The English teacher said with a smile: “Just in case.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
The English teacher gave a few more words of instructions before letting Wen ZhiChu head back. Right as he reached the door, Wen ZhiChu saw Mu Qing. The other wasn’t holding anything in her hand, so she should be needing to talk with the teacher about something.
Mu Qing saw the thing in Wen ZhiChu’s hand and asked curiously: “What’s that in your hand?”
Wen ZhiChu opened it for her to see: “Do you… do you want to eat some?”
Mu Qing nodded. Wen ZhiChu very generously opened it and shared half with Mu Qing. From the start, Mu Qing had provided him a lot of help in terms of studying.
Immediately after he finished sharing the candy, Wen ZhiChu suddenly felt enveloped by a shadow. Qin JiaShu and the Class 1 English representative walked over holding things. Qin JiaShu glanced coldly at Wen ZhiChu, his gaze wandering between the two people for a moment before he walked into the office.
Wen ZhiChu was so scared that he had forgotten to tell Qin JiaShu about his English grade. He had no choice but to return to his classroom first.
No matter what, Qin JiaShu had provided outstanding service in helping him improve his English as well. Wen ZhiChu felt like the other had the right to know the wonderful news regarding his score of 60 on the English essay. After the end of the 2nd class, he went in search of the other. Walking to the corner of the 2nd floor, he saw Qin JiaShu’s figure. He followed over quickly and saw Qin JiaShu walk into the student council’s office.
Wen ZhiChu knocked and then pushed open the door: “Qin……”
The rest of his unspoken words got stuck in his throat. He saw Qin JiaShu’s fingers currently holding a cigarette that has yet to be lit.
Wen ZhiChu gathered his courage and pretended to be blind: “Why…why’s there no one here?”
[System: What are you doing?]
“Having a relapse of a chronic illness.”
[…….]
The next second, he disappeared from the door in a flash.
With a cold gaze, Qin jiaShu walked over and locked the door properly before lighting the cigarette in his hand.
The man blew smoke from his mouth. The fire between his fingers flickered. Looking at the ceiling, he recalled the scene that occurred in front of the English office not long ago.
A sense of displeasure appeared abruptly in his heart. Sharing candy with others was really something that Wen ZhiChu seemed to do fairly often.
10 minutes past noon, Wen ZhiChu went to get food in the cafeteria. In a good mood today, for once he selected some meat.
[System: Villain’s mission. Disrupt the protagonist’s lunch. Completing the mission will reward 300 yuan. Villain’s score will increase 4%. Failing the mission will deduct 300 yuan.]
Wen ZhiChu looked at the food in his hands. Instantly, they lost their appeal.
“Can’t you let me experience happiness for a little while longer?”
[System: Young man, misfortune is your normal state of being.]
“……”
Wen ZhiChu found a spot to sit down and eat. Very quickly, the mission target appeared before his eyes. It’s a good thing that Qin JiaShu didn’t leave campus during lunch. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to complete the mission.
At this time, Skycat Genie said somewhat worriedly: “Is he going to hit you if you do this?”
Wen ZhiChu: “So you also know how ridiculous the missions are.”
Then he looked around at the crowd: “There are a lot of people here so probably not. After all, the protagonist is restrained by JinJiang’s morals and can’t randomly hit people.”
[System: Young man, please tell me the role that you play in this book.]
“The villain of course.” After saying this, he froze.
[System: When the protagonist hits the villain, it’s not called hitting. It’s called upholding righteousness and punishing evil.]
Wen ZhiChu squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath: “I understand.”
In a bit, whether he can live or not will depend on whether he can run fast enough.
Like a hunter ready to capture prey any second, Wen ZhiChu waited for the opportune moment. There were a lot of people next to Qin JiaShu. His operation this time can only succeed, not fail.
Seeing Qin JiaShu almost done eating, Wen ZhiChu finally got up. He pretended to pass the other incidentally. In the blink of an eye, like flipping the acceleration button for speed, Wen ZhiChu sprinkled a handful of skittles on Qin JiaShu’s food and then ran off immediately.
Qin JiaShu: ……
Thank you for the chapter!!! Wen ZhiChu’s selective blindness is acting up again AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
