The two people looked at the contents of the letter, both speechless.
Qin JiaShu had followed over the entire way and knew Wen ZhiChu had sent it out.
Meng Yan recognized the handwriting on the letter and knew Wen ZhiChu had written it.
Looking at the gentle words on the letter, the two people felt differently, yet arrived at the exact same conclusion.
Qin JiaShu, Meng Yan: “He likes me.”
This letter had revealed bluntly that Meng Yan liked a ‘tree’. She glanced awkwardly at Qin JiaShu and hastily folded up the letter again.
Originally she had planned to let Qin JiaShu see how others praised her. Who knew the other’s hard work would run somewhat amok.
Meng Yan shook her head internally.
A miscalculation, a miscalculation.
However, it’s good that Wen ZhiChu loved the person and everyone involved and didn’t write anything bad about the ‘tree’ inside the letter.
Meng Yan gave Qin JiaShu a sweet smile: “Maybe it really is just a prank.”
Looking like a love letter, but in reality a letter of persuasion— which then transformed into a declaration of love once again in the eyes of the reader.
Qin JiaShu smiled elegantly: “Perhaps.”
The two people smiled without speaking, 800 internal thoughts running through their heads in total.
At this moment, this letter seemed just like a passage from an English exam. When asked which descriptors the writer had used to express what, the two people answered differently and incongruously. Yet at the same time, it seemed as if they had peeked at each other’s answers as their conclusions were surprisingly similar.
On the other side, Wen ZhiChu still did not know that the letter he sent was analyzed like a reading comprehension passage. Instead, he walked into the bathroom and took out the cellphone to contact the commissioner.
[Greenhouse Mushroom: Here?]
[The Most Handsome in the World: Turn around.]
The two people had seen each other’s faces previously in Class 9 after the first business transaction. Seeing the message, Wen ZhiChu turned his head. Sure enough he saw The Most Handsome in the World.
[System: He’s so romantic.]
“……”
After completing the express delivery, Wen ZhiChu stepped forth a few steps to stop in front of the other: “The Most…Most Handsome in the World.”
That person put his hand next to his ear: “What did you say? Louder!”
“The Most…Most Handsome in the World.”
Wen ZhiChu saw the other reveal a standard 8-teeth smile: “That’s right, it’s me.”
[System: He’s carefully calculating his every move.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
The other definitely heard him just now.
[System: So everyone’s selective illness is not the same. I need to record this in my human observation diary.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: He’s deaf. You’re blind.]
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Wen ZhiChu: “Actually, you don’t need to record this.”
[System: Why?]
Qfc ItlJte: “Po P kjca ab, P mjc jirb yf rfifmalnfis vfjo.”
[System: So special~]
Qfc ItlJte: ……

The Most Handsome in the World nodded. Wen ZhiChu had already sent him the content early this morning. He felt extremely satisfied after reading it.
Lifting his hand, he transferred Wen ZhiChu the expense for the letter of persuasion.
Wen ZhiChu received the money and said politely while looking at the other: “Please… please come again next time.”
The Most Handsome in the World made a goodbye gesture and left. Wen ZhiChu looked at the 10 yuan in his WeChat, a pleased smile appearing on his face.
Although 10 yuan didn’t account for much, it was still undoubtedly a huge sum to Wen ZhiChu.
Before Wen ZhiChu received this sum of money, he had already dreamt about what to use it for.
[System: What do you call this?]
Wen ZhiChu puffed up his chest proudly: “Predicting the future before it happens.”
[System: Rejoicing that the literature teacher is not here?]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
After eating dinner in the afternoon, Wen ZhiChu exited the cafeteria and went straight to the supermarket.
The automatic doors opened. That’s right. This is where his 10 yuan will belong.
Wen ZhiChu didn’t hesitate. Very decisively, he bought a roasted sausage, which cost 5 yuan.
He had a craving for this a while ago. However, the money that he made during the summer and the money he saved from doing missions were used to return several hundreds to Qin JiaShu and pay for his tuition fee and miscellaneous costs. There really wasn’t much in hand after that.
One roasted sausage was 5 yuan after all. This was equivalent to the cost of one breakfast for him. The money obtained from missions later on he had planned to save for emergencies. Meanwhile, with this extra money that he made today, Wen ZhiChu came excitedly to buy a roasted sausage.
He left the supermarket in an extremely happy mood.
However, before he walked a few steps, a student ran frolicking out of the supermarket and bumped into him.
Eyes widening in shock, Wen ZhiChu suppressed a shout. Looking at the sausage still in his hand, he let out a breath of relief.
With a silly laugh, he said: “What a close call.”
Looking at Wen ZhiChu holding onto the sausage tightly, Skycat Genie: ……
[System: Perhaps it’s also because you were well-prepared.]
Wen ZhiChu lowered his head bashfully: “Is that right?”
As soon as he finished saying this, something slammed hard into Wen ZhiChu’s arm.
Pah—
Looking at the corpse of the roasted sausage on the ground, Wen ZhiChu instantly became dumbfounded.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze.
[System: Perhaps this is the so-called ‘life is sausageless.]
“……”
Wen ZhiChu looked at the sausage on the ground, his small mouth pressed in a line. Instantly, the corners of his mouth fell dejectedly.
Seeing this, Skycat Genie felt somewhat upset.
[System: Who! Who the fuck knocked down my son’s sausage!]
“……”
Just as Wen ZhiChu felt sorry for himself, he heard a curse next to him. Clearly, there was another victim.
Ji FengChang: “Fuck, who the fuck bumped into me!”
He was seen holding a bottle of water in his hand, a large wet spot on the clothes in front of his chest. Raising his hand, he squeezed out a handful of water. With the gust from the nighttime autumn breeze, a chill pierced his heart.
Wen ZhiChu turned to look. Instantly, he suddenly felt like he wasn’t so misfortune anymore, and was in fact somewhat lucky.
However, turning his head back, he continued to look at the sausage on the ground forlornly.
Ji FengChang cursed and swore. Seeing the Year 1 student who was about to run off after the collision, he grabbed the guy and dragged him back: “It was you, you fucking bastard!”
That year 1 didn’t expect to be caught. For a second, he trembled in fear. Even speaking became somewhat troubled for him. Seeing this, his companion to the side hastily stepped forth to explain: “Bro, we were only playing around just now and didn’t watch the road. Sorry.”
Ji FengChang: “If sorry was of any use, what’s the point of having the police?!”
To the side, Qin JiaShu: ……
Originally he had planned to let Ji FengChang scare the two people a bit and let them off. Who knew that when he turned his gaze, he saw Wen ZhiChu standing to the side, head hung low.
After seeing that letter of persuasion today, the other practically softened the deepest part of his heart. Qin JiaShu’s face remained calm and composed as usual, however, his eyes locked on to the other tightly. Within those silent and indifferent eyes was a rare degree of warmth.
The next second, he saw Wen ZhiChu’s aggrieved and sulky expression. The youth pressed his lips together as he looked at the sausage on the ground with great regret. Clearly, it had fallen to the ground just now due to a collision with those two people. Wen ZhiChu stood there blank and stunned, not moving at all. For those who didn’t know, they might even mistake him for a statue.
Wen ZhiChu’s pitiful little expression made Qin JiaShu’s heart itch. Qin JiaShu narrowed his eyes. The next second, a voice softer than a mosquito floated into his ears.
Although the voice was small, upon reaching his ears, Qin JiaShu was able to hear it extremely clearly.
“I should be able to eat it if I flush it a bit with water.”
Qin JiaShu was shocked, his face instantly blackened.
Of the two Year 1 students who collided into them, one was being lifted by the back of the collar by Ji FengCheng, the other was trying to flatter him to the side. Seeing Ji FengChang unyielding, the other came to Qin JiaShu instead.
Qin JiaShu was practically known by everyone in school, the head figure of Year 3 in Yi Zhong High school. Elegant and gentlemanly, with poise and grace. During the Year 1’s welcome ceremony, he even represented YiZhong’s students and gave a speech on the stage. Whenever he appeared, he became the focal point.
The Year 1 student stopped next to Qin JiaShu, rubbed his hands together, and said with a smile: “Bro, it really was an accident. We weren’t paying attention. I’m sorry. Please let us off.”
Qin JiaShu: “If sorry was of any use, what’s the point of having the police?”
The Year 1 student: ……
In the end, of the two Year 1 students that collided with them, one bought Ji FengChang paper towels, the other compensated Wen ZhiChu with a roasted sausage.
When the Year 1 student appeared holding the sausage, Wen ZhiChu clearly looked surprised. Originally, he had planned to decline. Unexpectedly that Year 1 student seemed very afraid of him and stuffed the sausage in his hand with a tremble. With the words ‘I’m sorry’, he immediately turned around and ran off.
Looking at the roasted sausage in his hand, which was lost but now recovered, Wen ZhiChu’s mood instantly rejuvenated. Seeing this, Qin JiaShu finally felt satisfied.
After the Year 1 student left, Ji FengChang bumped against his arm: “I just knew you’d come to my aid.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
Externally, Qin JiaShu looked indifferent, but a sense of guilt sprouted in his heart.
Looking into Ji FengChang’s face, Qin JiaShu: “Don’t mention it.”
After Friday, school was off for two days. Now it was Monday again.
Wen ZhiChu bought steamed buns and then walked into school. As soon as he entered the class, he saw a depressed and downcast Mu Qing.
He stepped forth to ask the other. Mu Qing looked at the steamed bun in his hand and shook her head. She didn’t say anything, looking as if it was something too embarrassing to speak about.
Wen ZhiChu froze: “Did…did you not eat breakfast?”
Saying this, he was about to share his steamed bun with her. Mu Qing tactfully declined his good intentions.
“Thank you, I don’t eat breakfast.”
Wen ZhiChu returned to his seat in confusion. So there are really people out there who didn’t eat breakfast.
[System: Do you mind if I ask why do you eat breakfast everyday?]
Wen ZhiChu: “Eating breakfast is good for the body and it can prevent……”
[System: Please speak human.]
Wen ZhiChu: “Because breakfast is the cheapest of the three meals.”
Skycat Genie: ……
It wasn’t until in the afternoon, in the activity room where there were less people that Mu Qing couldn’t hold back from saying.
“Wen ZhiChu, do you think I’m fat?”
Class hasn’t started at this time. They were the only two people in the activity room right now.
Wen ZhiChu was surprised. He didn’t know why the other would ask this: “Not… not fat.”
Mu Qing sighed: “I feel like I’m really very fat, so lately I’ve decided to lose weight.”
Wen ZhiChu didn’t think there was any need: “I feel like… you’re fine the way you are right now.”
Fat or not, it didn’t matter. He felt like, as long as it didn’t jeopardize a person’s health, there was no need to lose weight. Everyone had their own individual way of living.
However, Mu Qing clearly did not want to listen. Like she had been brainwashed, she thought wholeheartedly about losing weight. In order to make Wen ZhiChu agree to her point of view, she asked: “Wen ZhiChu, you also like people who are skinny right?”
As soon as Mu Qing finished speaking, the class bell rang. Qin JiaShu and Zhou Qing walked into the activity room. Mu Qing didn’t want others to hear so the two just ended their conversation.
Qin JiaShu’s gaze landed on Wen ZhiChu, a pensive expression on his face, thinking about who knows what.
At night, he went with Ji FengChang to the club. This was about time for the first self-study class of the evening.
They haven’t eaten dinner yet. Ji FengChang said: “I’m ordering something. What do you want?”
Qin JiaShu, expressionlessly: “I’m not hungry.”
Ji FengChang: ?
Qin Jiashu: i am on a diet
Thank you for the translation. I really adore this novel.
He’s only just admired to liking him and already lost all his brain cells
I also think it’s funny how he thought he’d be able to get our MC to do anything he wants when WZC just has to look at him for QJS to bend over backwards
It’s nice to see Wen ZhiChu getting more people who care about him. He is really too pitiful, so it was quite heartwarming to see him being protected. Especially since he is so poor and Qin Jiashu prevented him from losing money.
The greatest point is not to let him loose any money.
Fastest way to his heart, a roast sausage and 100 yuan…or more, Pfft!
your name is genuinely so funny, i love it😭💜
Qin JiaShu, you’ve got enough issues to work through so please don’t go adding an eating disorder to that list. Wen ZhiChu never even answered the question!
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Thanks for the chapter!
Damn, Did Jiashu even realise he’s losing his control lol
Qin JiaShu bro 😭😭😭 Zhou Qing too, y’all don’t need to not eat just to be skinny! Don’t starve! And, you’re all fine just the way you are!
