Seeing the smile vanish from the chemistry teacher’s face, Wen ZhiChu, who was already distraught with anxiety, instantly felt his little heart give a thud.
[System: Even saying you don’t know is not as insulting as this.]
“……” Wen ZhiChu hastily supplemented: “Ben…benzene’s chemical formula is C6H6.”
As soon as he said this, the chemistry teacher’s complexion alleviated. Now, he’s aware that Wen ZhiChu was dazing off. He didn’t scold, but still gave the other a slight quip: “What a good little student you are for your literature teacher.”
Hearing this, Skycat Genie meow meowed vehemently.
[System: Why’s this teacher speaking so heartlessly?!]
Wen ZhiChu: “Hey……”
[System: What did the literature teacher do wrong?! Would you accept such a fortune if it were given to you?!]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Wen ZhiChu with a numb face: I thank you, Miao-laoshi.
Always ready to fight injustice, righteous kitty meow meow.
During break after the 2nd period, Wen ZhiChu didn’t even walk out of the classroom yet when Mu Qing came over with the grievous news.
Mu Qing said gravely: “Let’s go.”
For a second, Wen ZhiChu attempted to avoid reality like a salted fish stranded on dry land, flopping around for its life: “Go…go where?”
Mu Qing sighed and said concisely: “Time to hit the road.”
Wen ZhiChu cried tearlessly. Well damn, not even saying the English department’s office anymore?
Skycat Genie didn’t understand.
[System: What road?]
Wen ZhiChu: “The road to Hell.”
Skycat Genie: ……
Mu Qing patted his shoulder, wanting to give him comfort: “Hey……”
Wen ZhiChu looked at her and shook his head: “I… I’ve already expected this day to come.”
Then he took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to Mu Qing.
“You… you take this.”
Mu Qing seemed to have received his brain waves: “No! I can’t accept this!”
“Take it!”
“Okay.”
Skycat Genie: ……
[System: What are you doing here?]
Wen ZhiChu: “If… I don’t return in time for the 3rd class, Mu Qing will pay for my ransom.”
Skycat Genie was extremely shocked.
[System: So this is a shady underground exchange that can’t see the light.]
With the combination of yesterday night and this morning, Wen ZhiChu has never felt so exhausted before. Dragging along a body drained of its soul, he walked towards the English department, as if a weight was attached to his legs, each step as heavy as a thousand tons.
But even though he tried to avoid it, the inevitable still arrived. Wen ZhiChu looked at the office door of the English department as if looking at a guillotine scaffold.
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.
Taking a deep breath, he raised his head and knocked rhythmically twice on the door. Hearing the sound of acknowledgement from within, he felt his legs give out and almost fell to his knees on the ground.

“Skycat Genie.”
[System: I’m here.]
“Did I do something wrong in my last life?”
[System: No, young man. In your last life you lived admirably and exemplarily.]
Wen ZhiChu: “Really?”
[System: Of course.]
Wen ZhiChu: “Then why am I going to hell?”
Skycat Genie: ……
[System: The ways of the world are hard to decipher. What’s so bad about the current circumstances……]
Wen ZhiChu without any hesitation: “Misfortune comes in pairs.”
[System: Young man, listen to me. If you run towards the literature department right now, the literature teacher can protect you.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: Today you’ve made her proud the most.]
Opening the door to the English department had made a noise. Qin JiaShu clearly noticed him as well. The straight and upright figure stood there, carrying the usual elegant and lofty smiling mask on his face. Being observed by those deep, dark eyes, Wen ZhiChu felt as if he were electrocuted for a second. His gaze unconsciously landed on Qin JiaShu’s lips. Yesterday’s memory gushed forth like a tsunami.
Little face flushed bright red, Wen ZhiChu abruptly lowered his head.
Wen ZhiChu, what are you looking at, you huge lecher!!!
Not daring to look up at the other anymore, Wen ZhiChu walked head down towards the office table of Class 11’s English teacher.
“Tea…teacher.”
The English teacher put down the still steaming tea. She had a beaming smile on her face, as if welcoming his arrival: “You’re here.”
[System: She looks like she’s in a very good mood.]
Wen ZhiChu: “Because she’s already crazy from anger.”
Skycat Genie: ……
With a bright red face, Wen ZhiChu: “Tea…teacher, don’t be angry.”
The English teacher hastily waved her hands: “How could I? How could this teacher be angry with you!”
Saying this, she pulled Wen ZhiChu to her side. Wen ZhiChu was so terrified he wanted to cry.
The guilt in his heart grew more and more. In comparison, a scolding was even better than this.
The English teacher held onto him and said: “Oh Xiao-Chu.”
Wen ZhiChu froze. He looked up at the English teacher. It’s been a long time since someone called him by his childhood nickname.
However, the next second he gazed into the English teacher’s smiling face.
“This teacher knows you have already tried very hard. Look at how red your face is right now because you didn’t test well. Do you feel ashamed?”
Wen ZhiChu nodded.
“You don’t have to feel like this.” Saying this, the topic changed: “This teacher thought about it. Such a studious student like you, how could you not test well? Therefore, it must be because this teacher has not done enough for you.”
Wen ZhiChu hastily shook his head: “Teacher……”
The English teacher: “This teacher must have done something poorly and made you unhappy, isn’t that right?”
Wen ZhiChu has always had poor English grades since youth. He didn’t have a good foundation. The English teacher has already been very conscientious and concerned over his studies.
Wen ZhiChu shook his head wildly, practically sending his brain frying: “Teacher, I will definitely, definitely test well next time.”
The English teacher was taken aback and said excitedly: “Really? Is this something this teacher can look forward to?”
Wen ZhiChu hastily nodded.
The teacher with an appreciative face: “How many points?”
Wen ZhiChu said to his utmost: “One hundred……”
“One hundred and twenty?!” The English teacher: “Oh my god! Xiao-Chu! This teacher’s good student.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Skycat Genie: ……
The English teacher; “Then you must do your best, Xiao-Chu. This teacher will wait for your good news.”
Qin JiaShu watched this from the side. His deep, dark eyes landed on Class 11’s English teacher, looking pensive.
When speaking to the other, change the address to close the distance. Hold the other’s arm to express sincerity. Place the blame of the issue onto yourself. Pretend to be hopeful and pathetic to trigger the other’s guilt and pity. Then achieve your goal.
Every sentence followed <<The Secret White Lotus Technique>> perfectly to the letter. This was an expert.
When Wen ZhiChu left, the English teacher walked him to the door with a smile on her face: “Xiao-Chu, come again next time.”
After the door closed, her expression fell instantly. Returning to her desk, she took out a book and continued to read it, mumbling to herself with convictions: “Old-Yu, this book is pretty useful.”
Class 3’s English teacher: “Of course.”
That book had a white cover and pink lettered title.
Qin JiaShu: ……
Wen ZhiChu stood in front of the door of the English department office. He never imagined he’d leave alive.
Skycat Genie recalled the English teacher’s smiling face and shook its head.
[System: You’ve driven another insane.]
Wen ZhiChu: ……
After lunch, Wen ZhiChu returned to the dorm and climbed into bed. Pulling the blankets up to his face, he laid there like an ambitionless salted fish that only wanted to escape reality.
Before one wave was pacified, here comes another. As Skycat Genie said before, if he studied until his brain started smoking, perhaps he might get lucky and get 120 points in English.
Just as Wen ZhiChu pondered what to do for the next monthly exam, someone opened the dorm room. Seeing Wen ZhiChu already laying in bed, Qin JiaShu deliberately softened his footsteps.
However, Wen ZhiChu still heard it extremely clearly.
“Skycat Genie!”
There was no answer inside his head.
Wen ZhiChu called again in panic: “Skycat Genie!”
It was clear to see, because the two people were too wild during their solo interactions last night, Skycat Genie has already automatically blocked itself.
Qin JiaShu walked over to the bedside and looked down at Wen ZhiChu. The other’s thick black hair trembled. Clearly, he has not fallen asleep yet.
But Qin JiaShu didn’t call him out on it and instead asked softly: “Are you asleep?”
Wen ZhiChu pretended to be dead inside the blankets.
“So you’re still awake.”
“Asleep…I’m asleep.”
After saying this, Wen ZhiChu practically wanted to slap himself twice across the face: ……
The corners of Qin JiaShu’s lips curved into a smile. When Wen ZhiChu started moving, he stowed away the smile.
Wen ZhiChu covered his head evasively with the blankets. However, it was lifted upwards the next second.
He saw Qin JiaShu looking down at him from above: “Sleeping like this is not good for you.”
Wen ZhiChu was so scared he didn’t even dare to breathe deeply.There was no choice but to give thanks instead: “Yesterday… night, thank you for bringing me back.”
The next second, a hand rubbed his cheek softly: “Did you feel okay getting up today?”
Wen ZhiChu was somewhat unaccustomed to the other’s gentleness and stammered: “Pretty…pretty good.”
Qin JiaShu with a pensive gaze: “Do you still remember what happened yesterday?”
Wen ZhiChu shook his head violently: “Don’t remember.”
“Is that right?”
Qin JiaShu looked down. Seeing his disappointed expression, Wen ZhiChu pressed his lips together: “Don’t…don’t remember anything.”
He thought Qin JiaShu would recognize the difficulty here and give up to avoid awkwardness. Unexpectedly, he felt a warm breath next to his ear: “Then how did you know I brought you back yesterday?”
Pupils constricting abruptly, Wen ZhiChu grabbed onto the blankets tightly with both hands.
“I…I……” Flustered, he didn’t dare to look into the other’s eyes: “Last night, I…I was wrong.”
Qin JiaShu looked at him: “Nothing was wrong.”
“No, I… I shouldn’t have kissed you.”
“I was completely willing.”
Qin JiaShu looked at him, his dark eyes a bottomless pit. He didn’t want to force Wen ZhiChu into a panic and completely out of his control. Like a crafty wolf, he said enticingly: “Yesterday was not your fault.”
Wen ZhiChu looked at him, eyes somewhat helpless: “But isn’t… isn’t that something that can only be done between two people who like each other?”
“I like you.”
Wen ZhiChu looked down, silent.
Qin JiaShu leaned forward and moved closer, controlling his distance very precisely: “If you want to, we can do it in the future as well.”
The contours of the man’s neck were smooth, with blue veins practically crawling beneath the skin. Different from the skinny neck of boys still developing at this time, Qin JiaShu’s Adam’s apple was prominent and distinctive, permeating the rugged nature of a mature, adult man.
Wen ZhiChu looked at the red mark on the other’s neck and swallowed: “But I…. I won’t get in a relationship with you.”
“I’m doing this willingly.” Qin JiaShu looked at Wen ZhiChu with a smile. His masterpiece of a face looked bathed in a Spring breeze and his eyes seemed incapable of containing anyone besides Wen ZhiChu: “I’m loving you out of my own accord.”
Wen ZhiChu looked at the face close enough to touch and actually felt some indecisiveness.
“But this…this will also affect you, for example, your grades.”
Qin JiaShu: “It’s fine.”
“But……”
“I’m guaranteed a spot in college.”
Wen ZhiChu: ……
Is he allowed to swear?
Is the english teacher also learning from that book? 😂
Thanks for the chapter!
that book <the secret white lotus technique> is made to be used on WZC
I’m really starting to dislike the English teacher. Wen ChiZhu has worked so fucking hard to get as far as has and is doing really well but he still feels like a failure because the one subject he isn’t good at the teacher uses insidious methods to plant the idea in his head that his best isn’t good enough. I know it’s suppose to be funny but after spending the late 3 chapters watching Wen ChiZhu stress out over this all the humor of the situation is gone.
Totally agree! Why doesn’t she atleast appreciate his improvement and try to ask how he can learn better instead of threatening
Not gonna lie, same. I’m still wondering the possibility of Mc having a form of dyslexia for the English language, he’s fine for his other classes.
I was thinking the same thing. Having as much trouble as he has with the amount of work he’s put in seems to indicate there is something else holding him back.
Exactly, exactly!! He’s improved so much from before and deserves the recognition!
💯. I just remembered my teacher doing the same thing. I used to study so hard for this language subject and he always compared me to the other students who easily understood it!
The English Teacher And The Dean Suck *ss. I wish they would just leave our little bun alone.
At least Dean knew that Baby needed emotional comfort. And although his means were old-fashioned, he still cared about Baby’s emotional wellbeing.
But this English teacher? She’s just plain egoist.
She’s already my most hated character in this story since the very start. The way she blamed Baby because her subject was the only one that not improved enough so it ‘made her look worse than other teachers’ really disgusted me.
Not the teachers using the white lotus technique too 🤣🤣🤣 poor Wen Zhichu… someone give him a break 😭
Talk, you two! You are going in right direction! And… you are always angry at him, miss Teacher? You are clearly doing poor job :/
Thank You for the new chapter ♡(ӦｖӦ｡)
As of late this novel keeps making me giggle like a young school girl. It’s so refreshing … hehe, so truly loving it! And QJS is such a succubus and a siren all wrap in a godly face and body 👁️ 👅… how can little landlord WZC deny him … and Thank you so much for the update 💓😊💓😊
English teacher trying out the White Lotus technique just about did me in, hahahahahahahahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the chapter!! 🫶
That cursed book doesn’t let Wen ZhiChu breathe freely. Ngl, if the teacher is so concerned with his grades that she constantly bothers him about it, shouldn’t she like give him some more materials? It’s clear, that he has no foundation, it would be great if he had some materials explaining basic english grammar.
That book is really poisonous for Wen ZhiChu 😭😭😭
LMAO
Thank you for the chapter!
thanks for the chapter!
