Seeing Qin JiaShu’s face, which looked like it had been smudged with ashes from the bottom of a wok, a huge question appeared inside Ji FengChang’s heart.
Originally, he had thought the other was too stressed recently and didn’t manage to vent it out. So it had gathered until the breaking point and Qin Jiashu picked today to drain it. When Ji FengChang arrived at school in the morning and learned that Qin JiaShu had requested a day off, he immediately arranged for a match. Unexpectedly, this asshole’s mood today was genuinely bad. According to Qin JiaShu’s usual customs, he’d conceal his emotions. Unless he was completely alone, even in front of family, he’d wear his mask at all times, not removing it.
Today’s view was actually a rare occasion.
With cold eyes, Qin JiaShu swept a glance outside the door. Without saying anything, he turned around and headed back inside the room. He stepped on the floor barefooted. As he turned around and raised an arm, the movement caused the muscles on his back to bulge, giving a sense of power and force. Broad shoulder and skinny waist, his gray pants hung loosely on his stallion waist.
After walking inside, he completely ignored Ji FengChang and nested back inside the large, pitch-black bed.
Ji FengChang walked into the room. A strong smell of nicotine assaulted his nostrils.
Oh fuck, life in danger.
Like running away from poison, Ji FengChang reached the window in two-three steps and pressed the switch, opening the automatic window curtains. The sunlight beamed into the room. Raising his hands, he yanked open the French windows violently.
Ji FengChang took a deep breath.
Ah, he was alive.
“Close it.”
He heard a low, magnetic voice. Ji FengChang turned a deaf ear and hugged the sunlight with both arms, saying: “Keeping it open like this is good.”
Without some ventilation, his life will depart soon.
However, the person on the bed right now clearly seemed somewhat annoyed. With a sharp tone, he said: “I told you to close it!”
Ji FengChang trembled for a second and covered his mouth with a hand as he looked at Qin JiaShu incredulously: “You’re loud voicing me.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
“You asshole, you’re heartless. Learning that you asked for time off, I immediately arranged a match… no, I mean I immediately came to see you. Yet you’d actually loud voice me.”
Qin JiaShu looked at him with a cold and indifferent face: “You just said you arranged a match, right?”
Ji FengChang shamelessly: “No.”
Qin JiaShu lifted his eyelids slowly to look at him: “I heard…”
“You heard wrong.”
“……”
Seeing the other’s doubtful face, Ji FengChang took a step forward and looked at him with bitterness and lament: “Don’t you know the kind of person I am?”
Qin JiaShu looked at him quietly.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell into a cursed silence.
Ji FengChang: ……
You asshole.
Seeing Qin JiaShu sitting up, Ji FengChang circled around next to him and examined him up and down. The other’s hair was messy, but because of that handsome face, his looks did not diminish the slightest. In fact, it even looked very stylish. His dark brows were furrowed. There were some red veins in his eyes due to exhaustion.
Seeing this, Ji FengChang said: “What’s going on with you here.”
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.
Qin JiaShu answered perfunctorily: “Nothing.”

“Cgf sbe agslcu ab aglmx j vbu?”
Hlc AljVte ujnf tlw j mbwqilmjafv ibbx jcv rqja bea bcf kbgv: “Ugbyjyis.”
Al MfcuJtjcu: …….
“Po atfgf’r cbatlcu, sbe mjc ifjnf.” Vjslcu atlr, Hlc AljVte qijccfv ab gfaegc ab yfv.
Seeing this, Ji FengChang grabbed him swiftly, not letting the other lay down once again: “Seriously, hurry up and just tell me what’s going on. If you don’t talk, I’m not doing anything else today.”
Seeing Qin JiaShu stubbornly not opening his mouth, Ji FengChang raised his hand and gave a punch to the other’s strong and sturdy arm. His hand hurt as a result.
“Are we still good bros? Did you forget your childhood promise?!”
Qin JiaShu’s eyelid twitched. Hearing Ji FengChang talk about the foolish declaration from his childhood, he felt a headache.
At this time, Ji FengChang’s eyes contained 40% curiosity, 30% enthusiasm, 20% obstinance, and 10% gossip.
Seeing the pie-chart in Ji FengChang’s eyes, Qin JiaShu was speechless for a moment. It took him a while to finally speak.
“Li Hua had his heart broken.”
Ji FengChang was shocked: “What?”
Qin JiaShu took a deep breath and repeated once again: “He had his heart broken.”
“Oh fuck.” Ji FengChang shouted: “Isn’t that a great jubilation?”
Qin JiaShu: …….
Saying this, Ji FengChang started to laugh loudly while smacking his thighs: “Hahahahaha I already said it before that Li Hua is no good. If he got bitten by a zombie, the zombie would even disdain him for being a brainless romantic.”
“Actually, when you first started telling me that he planned to get into a relationship, I already didn’t have high hopes for him. Of course, it’s not because I was biased. I simply felt he was no good. Just look at how stupid he was. He didn’t even know if he liked the other person or not, and even needed to do an experiment. Just tell me, if he didn’t get his heart broken like that, who would.”
Ji FengChang grinned widely and turned to look at Qin JiaShu, wanting to look for a sense of approval. The next second, he looked right into Qin JiaShu’s blackened face.
Qin JiaShu silently looked at him with his arms crossed.
The smile on Ji FengChang’s face stiffened: “This Li Hua can’t fucking be you, right?”
Ji FengChang swallowed, an answer suddenly appearing in his heart.
No way, no way.
There’s no way someone would create a non-existent friend to cover for themselves nowadays.
“……”
Silence answered for him.
Fuck! It really was fucking him!
Ji FengChang immediately withdrew his large grin and put on a heavy expression: “This is truly a tragedy.”
“……” Qin JiaShu opened his thin lips: “What’s a tragedy?”
Ji FengChang boosted: “A tragedy for Li Hua of course!”
However, after saying these words, Ji FengChang suddenly felt that he was even more pitiful. He couldn’t believe he’d actually fall for such a clumsy non-existent friend excuse.
What he didn’t expect even more was that Qin JiaShu, this ass who was so good at pretending to be human(e) would actually get his heart broken as well. Although he was a bit of an asshole, and didn’t know how to be human(e) usually…
Just considering Qin JiaShu’s devastatingly good-looks, big and towering figure, and even his family was top-notch unparalleled by many. Yet he’d actually experience rejection also.
The other person was not the normal kind of stubborn. Although curious, Ji FengChang didn’t dare to ask at this time due to the dark expression Qin JiaShu’s his face. He had no choice but to dissipate some of the other’s anger first.
“He really doesn’t know what’s good for him.”
Qin JiaShu frowned and shot a sharp look at him: “What did you say?”
Ji FengChang instantly changed face and words: “He’s really very special.”
“…….”
The guy had already dumped you, yet you still won’t hear a word of fault? Looking at Qin JiaShu’s incorrigible face, Ji FengChang shook his head and tsk’d internally.
Who would have thought that this asshole would get his day as well.
Qin JiaShu has been God’s beloved child since little, the so-called ‘another family’s child’ from the mouths of parents. Practically since becoming friends with him as a kid, Ji FengChang has never seen any parent without praises towards him. Meanwhile Qin JiaShu has always maintained a favorable exterior appearance to the otherworld. Yet this was the first time that he’s so despondent he didn’t even bother pretending. It can be seen clearly that he had received quite the blow.
Ji FengChang looked at Qin JiaShu’s disgruntled face and stepped forward to comfort: “What’s so bad about this? Life can’t always be smooth sailing without any bumps along the way. Just look at you. You have good looks, a good family background, good grades and mass adoration and admiration from others. You already possess all of these, are you not allowed to encounter a slight setback and experience a little heartbreak? It’d be so unfair otherwise.”
“No matter how much you like the sun, it can’t just rotate around you alone.”
After saying this, Ji FengChang contemplated for a moment. He didn’t have a partner either. Compared to Qin JiaShu, he seemed even more pitiful.
But who made him this asshole’s friend?
Qin JiaShu looked down, Who knew how many of Ji FengChang’s words he heard.
Ji FengChang continued his efforts: “With your circumstances, what can’t you get? Why must you get in a relationship? You can just hire someone pleasing to the eye. Wouldn’t they obey your every whims then?”
Qin JiaShu gave him a cold sideways glance.
Ji FengChang realized he spoke the wrong words and hastily corrected himself: “You don’t have to get in a relationship, what’s so interesting about dating? It’s nothing more than two people stuck together day in and day out. There’s nothing good about it. We’re not envious of that.”
After saying this, Ji FengChang saw another kind of emotion in Qin JiaShu’s eyes.
Ji FengChang: …… Damn! This asshole fell in love for real.
“How boring it is to be stuck together all day. Even if you start dating, can your partner be more fun than playing games? Can they box together with you? Let me tell you, in a relationship, the other person really loves to get all in your business and control everything. Don’t even mention going out to have a drink in the future, they won’t even let you smoke.”
Qin JiaShu contemplated the other’s words and imagined that with Wen ZhiChu’s personality, even if Wen ZhiChu wanted to control him, he’d probably just softly talk reason with him and say sweet words. Even if he got angry out of worry and panic, he’d just be even more adorable.
“If you get in a relationship, you will lose your freedom. Just like a bird having its wings clipped, a dog having its leg broken. Even if you want to escape, it won’t be that easy. Not to mention, another important issue is that the other person doesn’t even know your hidden true appearance. Even if you got together, it’s only because they like your Mr. Goody Goody facade. There’s no sincerity.”
Originally, Ji FengChang thought he had already said it nasty enough, but unexpectedly Qin JiaShu remained completely unmoved.
In the end, he could only take out his trump card: “Do you know what kind of painful price you’d pay if you truly started dating?”
Qin JiaShu finally spared him a glance: “What kind of price?”
Ji FengChang, sonorously and with force: “You won’t be able to go out and play with me anytime you want anymore!!!”
Qin JiaShu: “…… Oh.”
Ji FengChang: ……
Seeing how the other refused to listen despite his best efforts at persuasion, Ji FengChang sighed: “Why do you want to be with them so much? Can’t it be someone else?”
Qin JiaShu recalled Wen ZhiChu’s flushed red cheeks yesterday and spat out coldly: “No.”
Ji FengChang had a complicated expression on his face. Qin JiaShu was obstinate. What was he supposed to do?
“Then you can try to pursue them some more. If you pursue them for a year or two, you’re bound to get them.”
Qin JiaShu was surprised. He has indeed never considered Ji FengChang’s proposal before.
Seeing the other responding, Ji FengChang hastily got up: “Wait a bit for me. I’m going home to get some stuff for you.”
“What stuff?”
Ji FengChang patted his chest: “Stuff from your best bro, so of course it’s good stuff!” Acting completely like someone willing to climb up a mountain of knives and jump into a pan of scalding oil for a good bro.
Half an hour later, Qin JiaShu looked at the 3 books in the other’s hand and sank into contemplation.
<<A Green Tea’s Guide to Flattery>>
<<Love Handbook>>
<<How I Make Men Spend 10 Thousand on me in Three minutes>>
Qin JiaShu’s handsome face was stiff and rigid: “…… Good stuff?”
Ji FengChang was still taking stuff out of his backpack. Seeing the three books in Qin JiaShu’s hand, he hastily took one back: “Wait no, this doesn’t suit you.”
Qin JiaShu was two-faced, one in front of others and one behind others; he can’t pretend to be green tea.
“This one is suitable for you to read.”
Saying that, he stuffed another book in Qin JiaShu’s hand.
<<The Secret White Lotus Techniques>>
Qin JiaShu: ……
Looking at the thing in his hand, Qin JiaShu emitted a strong aura of rejection from the top of his head to the bottom of his foot.
“Why are you giving me these.”
Ji FengChang: “Of course, so you can study and learn them.”
Qin JiaShu: “Do you think I’d read these?”
“Otherwise?”
Qin JiaShu put down the books. These do not fit his character setting: “Impossible.”
Ji FengChang grabbed him and yanked him back: “Asshole, don’t walk on such a narrow path.”
Qin JiaShu: ……
Ji FengChan ftw 😂
Aren’t those books a girl’s manual?😂
Thabks for the chapter ❤
Will we get live footage of Qin JiaShu trying out these techniques? 🤨
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Are we entering our white lotus era? 👀👀👀👀 Dont give up, son!!!
One thing Qin JiaShu doesn’t have is a friend that gives good advice. If any techniques in those books end up working it’ll be because Wen ZhiChu’s weird brain circuits misunderstood something.
Still returning to the fool for advice… pfft! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️
