The Villain's Attack PlanCh72 - The Sweet Whispering of a Lotus

The wound on his forehead was the same type as Qin JiaShu’s bump last Thursday. The two of them had both struck head first into electric poles one after another. It’s only that Wen ZhiChu hit it a bit too hard and instantly acquired a bump on the spot. After he returned home, it started to bruise and swell, looking rather horrifying.

He originally thought it’d get better after a few days. Who knew that even though the bump had indeed vanished after these few days, the bruise still remained and even started to turn dark purple. LmvwdK

One of Qin JiaShu’s large hands brushed aside Wen ZhiChu’s hair and held it in place against the other’s head. The soft black strands intertwined between his elegant long fingers.

Seeing Qin JiaShu’s face grow increasingly darker, Wen ZhiChu was afraid the other didn’t believe him and continued to say: “It really wasn’t someone…someone else. I did it myself.”

“I deserved what I got.”

Skycat Genie was speechless for a moment. 0D6MuI

[System: Can you not speak proverbs in front of him?]

Wen ZhiChu said in a confused voice: “Why?”

[System: I’m afraid he’ll tutor you in literature also.]

Wen ZhiChu: ……

SVtBxd

It was he, who wasn’t cautious enough……

Saying this, he lifted his head slightly to look at Qin JiaShu, wanting to explain a bit more. He unexpectedly met the other’s eyes.

Qin JiaShu had thick brows and a deep gaze. The bridge of his nose was handsome and straight. Those ink-black eyes contained a mix of emotions, sternness and criticism on the surface, yet at the same time……

Wen ZhiChu’s pupils contracted. He lowered his head hastily, as if he had been scorched by the other’s expression. For a second, he was quiet like a little chick. COhTBL

Qin JiaShu was feeling worried for him……

Wen ZhiChu suddenly lowered his head. The round little head under Qin JiaShu’s hand also disengaged abruptly. At this time, Wen ZhiChu’s head was down. The hair that had been brushed back previously stuck straight upwards, looking extremely comical.

Qin JiaShu looked at his emptied hand and then pulled it back.

His low magnetic voice carried a stern inquiry, which was also filled with some exasperation. Yet at the same time, his tone did not alleviate the slightest: “Why weren’t you more careful?” SRQIJB

“I…I……”

[System: I thought of an excuse for you.]

Wen ZhiChu’s eyes brightened: “Skycat Genie, as expected of you!!!”

[System: Don’t you have selective blindness? You can say you were suddenly afflicted by the symptoms.] YOVuz2

Wen ZhiChu: ……

“Thank you, no need.”

[System: Why?]

“There’s a saying, instead of relying on another person, it’s better to rely on yourself.” 9iBzjC

[System: But I’m not a person.]

“Even a person is unreliable, let alone you.”

On Friday, the bump was really too swollen. During lunch break, Wen ZhiChu had gone to a small clinic to take a look.

Hearing that, Wen ZhiChu hastily nodded like a little chick pecking grains: “S…saw one.” X1z7h

“Then why isn’t this better?”

“Saw a quack doctor.”

Qin JiaShu: ……

In the clinic Wen ZhiChu went to back then, after the doctor saw it, they told him to buy a liquid medicine to apply at home. Unexpectedly, after returning home and using it, it didn’t work at all and it even dyed his skin… completely wasting 100 yuan for nothing. Jxf94d

However despite experiencing that incident, Wen ZhiChu felt at peace with himself and didn’t experience too much emotional fluctuation.

After all, he was already used to it. Being unlucky was more like him.

After Qin JiaShu heard this, he felt a headache briefly: “You……”

Wen ZhiChu thought the other was going to reprimand him again and shrunk back hastily. Seeing Wen ZhiChu pretend to be a quail, Qin JiaShu felt a bit helpless. The strict lecture that reached the tip of his tongue was swallowed back down again. Looking at Wen ZhiChu, he took a deep breath: “You can just take it as spending money to learn a life lesson.” sawpZe

Wen ZhiChu: …….

Seeing Wen ZhiChu let out a sigh of relief, Qin JiaShu felt a huge concern grow in his heart. The other might even get sold one day and help the other person count the money.

Although the two people’s recent discussion broke their previous awkwardness, Wen ZhiChu didn’t want to pretend to be stupid and muddle over what had happened before.

Qin JiaShu had said he liked him. Since he rejected the other, right now Wen ZhiChu should maintain a required distance from the other. He also had to be cautious with his behavior and conduct. 1F5kHe

His parents taught him before. Since he had refused straight out, he couldn’t take advantage of the other’s feelings towards him to receive good treatment. This was irresponsible to the other person and irresponsible to himself. Not to mention, it’d give false hope to the other person.

Wen ZhiChu looked at the exam papers on the table and formulated a rough draft inside his head: “Qin…Qin JiaShu, that Thursday……”

Wen ZhiChu’s words were interrupted before he even finished speaking. With a calm and composed expression, Qin JiaShu said without the slightest resentment and discontentment of being rejected: “You can just pretend the stuff that day never happened.”

Wen ZhiChu was taken aback. He pressed his lips together briefly. Mvxchb

Perhaps Qin JiaShu was also regretting saying he liked him that day. After all, this was not something normal. If it were himself, he also wouldn’t be able to figure out what’s so likable about himself.

Qin JiaShu’s behavior that day was most likely because someone had cast a spell on him or something.

Just as Wen ZhiChu bad-mouthed himself silently, he heard that elegant string-like voice continue to say: “Liking you is my own issue. It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to take it to heart.”

Wen ZhiChu’s movements stiffened as he looked up abruptly at Qin JiaShu. VI7j4q

Not only was Wen ZhiChu surprised, Zhou Qing, who had been studying studiously in a seat to the side, was also shocked to a halt with her pen.

Zhou Qing: Are you supposed to be talking about this right now?

Unless… they were unable to see her?!

The next second, Qin JiaShu used action to express: Oh, it’s fine, it’s fine. J3rWLZ

Qin JiaShu didn’t look at Wen ZhiChu, but rather, raised a hand to take the other’s exam paper from the table: “You don’t need to consider my feelings, nor respond to me. Just behave as you did before. There’s no need to change anything.”

Wen ZhiChu was stunned: “Bu…but……”

“You don’t need to take it to heart.”

Zhou Qing: …… qdFzE6

Mu Qing and her deskmate didn’t come today, but the King of Competition can never be absent.

She suddenly felt somewhat sad. Those two people to the side really seem to have not noticed her presence.

Hello! Can you really not see me?!!!

Qin JiaShu looked at the exam papers and told Wen ZhiChu not to take any mind. Seeing this, Wen ZhiChu pressed his mouth together, thinking about who knew what. VK1tlO

“Skycat Genie.”

[System: I’m here.]

“Do you think the protagonist really doesn’t care that I had rejected him previously?” Wen ZhiChu felt conflicted inside. If the other cared, it’d be best for him to maintain distance.

[System: Listening to his tone, he doesn’t seem to mind.] XBbPI3

Wen ZhiChu secretly took a glance at Qin JiaShu: “Then why is his face darker and darker?”

[System: Perhaps his face is dark not because you rejected him.]

After hearing this, Wen ZhiChu didn’t understand and questioned: “Then why?”

[System: Because of your English exam paper.] ZUKdRP

Wen ZhiChu: ……

Five minutes later, Wen ZhiChu once again experienced the terror of being dominated by Qin JiaShu in their tutoring sessions.

Qin JiaShu was clear-headed and conducted himself with a distinct separation between personal life and public life. Regarding Wen ZhiChu’s education, he was very strict. Although sometimes he couldn’t hold back from becoming softer, he only allowed Wen ZhiChu to relax a few minutes right before class was over. During class, he practically wouldn’t give Wen ZhiChu any chance to slack off.

“Did you read the question seriously?” SLVJuR

“Why did you get answers wrong if they can be found in the reading passage?”

“Is the word order of your essay composition correct?”

Facing the deadly three consecutive questions, Wen ZhiChu: Eep……

After examining the test papers, which Wen ZhiChu had self-assessed to be 65 points, Qin JiaShu re-corrected it to 59 points. Although the listening comprehension didn’t count, the score was still relatively low. TbuNgD

Qin JiaShu’s face color was so black it could drip ink: “Do you also want to get this kind of grade in the college entrance exam?”

The other’s tone did not fluctuate when he spoke so it couldn’t count as strict. However, hearing it made Wen ZhiChu tremble nonstop.

The practice booklets that Qin JiaShu had purchased with him were indeed harder than the ones the school ordered.

Wen ZhiChu hastily shook his head: “No…no.” KgJP8F

“Then why didn’t you examine the problems seriously?”

Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together tightly, like a child who did something wrong.

Seeing this, Qin JiaShu started to think clearly again. This wasn’t right. He was deviating from his strategy somewhat. His speech pattern should follow according to the plan.

However, after weighing the pros and cons of both sides, Qin JiaShu still decided to save his plans for after Wen ZhiChu’s studies. After all, the latter was comparatively more important. tLZcuS

After explaining the problems to Wen ZhiChu and then assigning him some practice problems, Qin JiaShu finally took out a palm-sized notebook and looked through it.

His expression was serious and grave, as if he were reading some literature dissertation.

Opening the notebook, the first page was filled with words. These were notes that he took yesterday in response to the first step of <<The Secret White Lotus Techniques>>. He even specifically copied down examples for the step.

Glancing to the side at Wen ZhiChu, who was head down and focused on doing problems, Qin JiaShu picked up his black ballpoint pen and drew a small check mark on the first task on the list that he created. dhmTjz

1. Use conversation to close the distance between each other.

Just now, he had told Wen ZhiChu not to mind what happened Thursday. It broke the barrier between them, which counted as closing the distance, or at the very least, it didn’t move further apart.

Sharp eyes roaming, he continued to review the details that he wrote down in the notebook.

“Qin…Qin JiaShu, is it correct to write it like this?”

The person beside him suddenly spoke up. With a ‘bang’, Qin JiaShu shut the notebook expressionlessly. gLISMV

Wen ZhiChu jumped in fright: “Did I…Did I disturb you?”

Qin JiaShu without batting an eye: “No.”

Then he read the problem and lectured with an upright expression on his face, as if he wasn’t doing anything at all a second ago.

As the class reached its end, there were still 2 minutes left before it was over. Concentrating with high focus for more than half an hour, Wen ZhiChu looked at the clock hanging on the wall and secretly let out a breath of relief. 5SCjAa

Wen ZhiChu licked his somewhat dried lips. His mouth was parched, therefore, he grabbed the water bottle he brought and planned to drink some water to moisturize his throat.

Who knew that he took a gulp too quickly and ended up choking outright. He even coughed up a small splash of water.

“Cough…coughcough……”

Wen ZhiChu hacked violently, having some trouble breathing, his face red and neck bulging. dpMq4B

Qin JiaShu looked over and raised a hand to pat on the other’s frail back: “Why so careless?”

Wen ZhiChu hastily grabbed a napkin to wipe the water he coughed up. Out of embarrassment, even the hand holding the napkin was red: “So…sorry. I drank too quickly.”

After he finished wiping, Wen ZhiChu picked up the water bottle. He drank in a hurry just now and coughed everything up. Although the hacking felt terrible, Wen ZhiChu did not learn his lesson and still wanted to drink some more.

Seeing the reddened rim of Wen ZhiChu’s eyes, Qin JiaShu suddenly remembered an example provided by <<The Secret White Lotus Techniques>>. buECZd

When the other is in an embarrassed state, use your words to subtly give them a way out. This will highlight your care and consideration.

However, upon recalling the example provided, Qin JiaShu was instantly filled with rejection. Yet looking at the circumstances right now, using that method seemed perfect.

Qin JiaShu: “It’s alright.”

Wen ZhiChu looked at him, holding the opening of the bottle in his mouth. NIiezF

Qin JiaShu’s expression looked as if he had stepped in dog shit: “Only guys like this are considered heroic.”

The next second, Qin JiaShu saw a splash of water even larger than last time.

Qin JiaShu: ……
