[System: Ding! Mission complete. The villain’s score is 75%. Reward: 300 yuan.]
A mechanical voice spoke up in his head. Wen ZhiChu looked at the red mark on Qin JiaShu’s forehead and swallowed hard.
This bump was definitely not light. The other was even speaking nonsense.
Wen ZhiChu: “Skycat Genie.”
[System: I’m here.]
Wen ZhiChu: “He didn’t go stupid from the bump right?”
[System: Why don’t you ask him?]
Wen ZhiChu looked at the other’s handsome face and stammered somewhat nervously: “Hey… hey, was that serious? Are you alright?”
Qin JiaShu looked at Wen ZhiChu’s flustered expression. The other seemed to only be concerned with his injury and was completely overlooking his confession just now.
“I’m fine.”
Hearing this, Wen ZhiChu let out a breath of relief: “That…that’s good.”
Saying this, he was about to pull his hand back. Unexpectedly, his hand seemed to be caught in a death grip by Qin JiaShu’s hand, unable to move.
Wen ZhiChu was stunned for a moment. He gathered his strength and gave it a tug, then another.
What a joke, he couldn’t pull it out at all.
[System: What are you doing? Pulling mushrooms?]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Wen ZhiChu turned to look at Qin JiaShu: “Are you really okay?”
Qin JiaShu acknowledged coolly: “En.”
“That..that’s good then. Let’s go to KFC.”
Qin JiaShu looked at the other’s somewhat helpless expression and said once again: “I like you.”
Wen ZhiChu looked at him incredulously. Just as Qin JiaShu thought the other was going to give him a reply, he saw Wen ZhiChu turn directions mid-march: “It’s best that we go to the hospital actually.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
Wen ZhiChu looked at the red mark on the other’s face, 10 thousand groundhogs screeching clamorously inside his heart right now.
Such a handsome boy, how did he turn stupid from just a simple strike to the head?!
“Skycat Genie.”
[System: What?]
Wen ZhiChu: “I seemed to have met someone even more unfortunate than me.”
[System: You’re being modest.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
After expressing his like out loud, Qin JiaShu looked at Wen ZhiChu with his dark black eyes. However, the other’s response didn’t seem to be quite the same as he had imagined. He didn’t know if it’s his misconception, but he seemed to read a hint of pity in Wen ZhiChu’s eyes.
Seeing Qin JiaShu not letting go, Wen ZhiChu stopped feeling confused and conflicted. Right now, the most important thing was to first get the other checked out.
Suddenly taking up this grand duty, Wen ZhiChu puffed up his little chest.
Designated as the villain, but saving the protagonist— Wen ZhiChu lowered his head and chuckled. Even Tiga would be dazzled by this brilliance upon seeing it.
Without saying anything else, he tugged on Qin JiaShu’s hand and started walking in the direction of the hospital.

“I said I’m fine.”
Wen ZhiChu: “What…what else did you say.”
“I like you.”
“See… and you say you’re fine.”
Qin JiaShu frowned: “I……”
Wen ZhiChu reached out a finger and pressed it on the other’s lips: “I… I know, I know. I understand.”
Qin JiaShu: …….
Seeing him completely stubborn, Wen ZhiChu thought Qin JiaShu just didn’t want to go to the hospital. Squeezing the hand he was holding gently, Wen ZhiChu looked at Qin JiaShu, his fair-white, delicate and clean face tilted upwards slightly, as if comforting him: “It’s… It’s alright. You’ll feel better after the examination. Let’s go to the hospital, alright?”
Saying this, he swung their clasped hands up and down softly. Qin JiaShu took a deep breath, the lower half of his body turning numb from this swinging.
But seeing the other was only focused on dragging him off to get checked out and had completely turned a deaf ear towards his confession, Qin JiaShu instantly recalled his own attitude towards Wen ZhiChu in the past.
It’s not that Wen ZhiChu did not express his like towards him in the past. In fact, you can say that he had written it clearly onto his face.
But what did he, Qin JiaShu, do……
He had coldly rejected Wen ZhiChu’s kind intentions again and again, so much that when he had learned that the other liked him, he didn’t even give Wen ZhiChu the chance to like him secretly.
He had threatened him, terrorized him, and tried to make the other back off and admit defeat.
Right now, he could still remember how he had pressed Wen ZhiChu against the wall of the corridor and muzzled the lower half of his face back then— the other’s frightened eyes at that time.
The coldness and rejection that he expressed far surpassed the fondness that he revealed, so much that when he expressed this like out loud, Wen ZhiChu’s first response was not to reply to his feelings, but rather to doubt these words.
He had given his fake, perfect exterior to everyone else except Wen ZhiChu alone, so much that Wen ZhiChu didn’t even have a portion of his false goodness.
That’s why Wen ZhiChu did not believe him right now, that he likes him.
Qin JiaShu suddenly felt somewhat upset internally. He should have given him his good. He should have given his good to Wen ZhiChu.
Originally, he had planned to wait for Wen ZhiChu’s confession. However, when he walked out of the school gates and saw the other standing under the streetlight waiting for him, he suddenly changed his plans.
Wen ZhiChu was never stingy in expressing his feelings towards him, be it encouragement or admiration. Even when thwarted and discouraged, his display has never whittled or faded. In the face of his cold attitude, Wen ZhiChu would still say no problem and gather his courage to invite him out.
Qin JiaShu knew he clearly had a myriad of faults, yet in the other’s heart, he was forever number 1.
The little, timid soldier had cut through the thorns and bristles, saying all of this was the contribution of the brave warrior.
In this relationship, however, Wen ZhiChu was braver than him.
Thinking here, Qin JiaShu gritted his teeth and felt embarrassed over his previous lighthearted and frivolous intentions. His pitiful ego had refused to let him lower his head, but if they can really get together, he would be perfectly happy to let Wen ZhiChu lead.
Right now, he only wanted Wen ZhiChu to know his feelings. After being concealed within his heart for so long, they gushed outward like scorching lava.
“Wen ZhiChu……”
Wen ZhiChu tugged on Qin JiaShu: “Let’s go… to the hospital.”
“I…..”
“I think we need to walk only three blocks to get to the hos…hospital.”
“We’re not going to the hospital.”
Wen ZhiChu was somewhat panicked: “Why?”
“Didn’t bring any identification card.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Topic let astray, Qin JiaShu took a deep breath and closed his eyes in regret.
Then, without waiting for Wen ZhiChu to say anything else, he turned around and dragged the other off into a small alleyway, not even giving him a chance to decline.
The alleyway was dimly lit, only illuminated by the trembling beam of one streetlight.
Qin JiaShu’s big and towering figure was half hidden in the darkness. The faint light casted shadows onto Qin JiaShu’s heavenly, masterpiece of a face. Wen ZhiChu didn’t know what the other planned to do nor could he see clearly the other’s face. However, he felt the ample force of the other’s stifling aura.
He swallowed. He was just about to speak when he felt two hands cup his cheeks. His delicate pink lips instantly squished into a little chicken beak.
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Qin JiaShu stared at him. Afraid the other wouldn’t believe him, he gave the other a forewarning first: “The injury is of no hindrance. What I’m about to say is all true, understand?”
Qin JiaShu’s voice was deep and heavy, like the strumming of an ancient string. The two people were very close, Wen ZhiChu could clearly feel the vibration of the other’s vocal cord.
Wen ZhiChu: “If I continue to say I don’t understand, what will happen?”
[System: He might beat you.]
Wen ZhiChu: “Can’t you say something good?”
[System: Do you want to enter the hospital?]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
It was he, who's discontent.
Forced to comply under the other’s show of authority, Wen ZhiChu pursed his little chicken beak and nodded.
Then he thought back wildly in his head if he had angered the other recently.
Could it be……
Could it be that Qin JiaShu knew he had secretly memorized 20 less vocabularies?
The next second, he heard the other say: “Wen ZhiChu, I like you.”
Inside the dim little alleyway, Wen ZhiChu’s eyes instantly widened like a bronze bell.
“Treating you like that before, was my mistake. I shouldn’t have been mean to you, and spoken those rude words.”
The forever proud champion was lowering his head right now, apologizing for his misdoings. His voice was very light, afraid of frightening the other, afraid that the other won’t believe him.
“But I really do like you. It’s not a temporary interest that sprung up out of nowhere. Every day that you accompany me makes me feel incomparably happy. I have a very terrible personality. My good temper is all a pretense. My outer appearance is also a pretense. My interior is despicable and selfish. Even your gaze towards others will make me feel irate. However, if you don’t like me like this, I can change.”
“Wen ZhiChu, I like you.”
Qin JiaShu looked into the other’s pure and innocent eyes and felt his heart skip a beat. Swallowing hard, he lowered his head and landed a peck on Wen ZhiChu’s small chicken beak.
Wen ZhiChu blue-screened on the spot.
There was a soft feeling against his lips. Afraid of scaring the other, Qin JiaShu originally had planned to leave a soft peck and then move away. But then he felt unwilling to part and pressed his lips against the other briefly. This contact was just like igniting a fuse. Once it starts, it cannot be taken back.
He didn’t know the technique so he did not enter deeply, and only used his lips to rub against the other. However the noise that he made caused Wen ZhiChu’s face to flush and his heart to jump.
Wen ZhiChu recovered from his thoughts and raised his hands hastily to push the other away.
What a joke, Qin JiaShu didn’t even budge.
Wen ZhiChu had no choice but to raise his hand and cover the other’s mouth. A careful kiss landed on the center of his palm. Wen ZhiChu’s face immediately flushed red like a big apple.
His heart jumped up and down inside his chest.
“Don’t…. You… you can’t be like this.”
Wen ZhiChu’s cheeks were bright red as his glistening eyes looked somewhat incredulously at Qin JiaShu.
Qin JiaShu thought it was because he had scared the other. He was just about to apologize when he heard Wen ZhiChu say: “Do you… do this kind of thing often with others?”
Qin JiaShu was stunned.
He has never kissed anyone before.
“Shouldn’t…shouldn’t this be done with people you like?”
Qin JiaShu: “You don’t like?”
Wen ZhiChu shook his head: “It’s… not right.”
Qin JiaShu looked at him: “Why?”
“Because……” Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together nervously: “Because I don’t like you.”
Qin JiaShu’s movements froze: “What did you say?”
Seeing the other loosen his grip, Wen ZhiChu hastily moved away from him. His heart, which was originally beating wildly, still has yet to calm down. He stammered: “I… I don’t like you. You might have mistaken it previously. If I did something before to give you this misconception, I apologize. I’m…I’m sorry.”
“I…I……”
The more Wen ZhiChu spoke, the more nervous he became. At first, he only wanted to eat KFC with Qin JiaShu. Who knew why it would end up like this.
QIn JiaShu stood frozen in place. Other than the words ‘I don’t like you’, he couldn’t hear anything else. It was dark all over. He seemed to have some trouble seeing Wen ZhiChu’s face clearly.
“Not to mention… I don’t have anything that would make people like me. You must have made a mistake.”
Qin JiaShu looked at Wen ZhiChu, practically trying to make him stay subconsciously: “I like you.”
“I… I have done many things in the past that you’ve detested. I have poor grades, and I stammer, I……”
“Wen ZhiChu, I like you.”
This feeling appeared too unexpectedly. The words of like seemed to feel like a hot piece of iron, making Wen ZhiChu afraid to touch it. Wen ZhiChu couldn’t remain calm at all: “You must have made a mistake.”
Qin JiaShu looked at the other’s frantic expression and wanted to grab him to comfort him. He wanted to tell Wen ZhiChu that he wasn’t as terrible as he thought.
Qin JiaShu perhaps knew how wretched he looked right now. He has never lowered his head like this to anyone, but his heart at this moment was filled with fear and dread inside.
He was afraid that Wen ZhiChu didn’t like him.
Yet just as he was about to take a hold of the other’s hand, Wen ZhiChu turned and avoided him: “You… you must have made a mistake.”
His outstretched hand halted in midair.
His prior joyous emotions sank into silence inside his heart. He wanted to think and reflect reasonably and logically like usual, but his head was a complete mess.
“Go.”
Wen ZhiChu was taken aback.
“I’m telling you to leave right now.”
The other’s dark and vicious eyes merged with the shadows. Wen ZhiChu’s legs couldn’t help but feel weak.
The youth hesitated briefly and then ultimately turned around and left, escaping from the darkness of the alleyway.
Oh. My. Uhhhhhhm… This could really change the situ… Skycat may not be able to save you….
