Manual on how to bang your shizun (6)

As soon as the unwarranted proclamation was dropped, it was as though the world had voluntarily slowed down to dramatize the declaration. Wang Fuming was rendered dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but plead with the system that settled in his subconscious.

'Baby, you know I don't like young boys, okay!? Whatever that dumbass is saying, don't believe it! I like handsome, grown men with thick butts, o.k.a.y!?' Fearing that his little 'baby' would grow disheartened by the slanderous hearsay, Wang Fuming tried to placate his sweetheart in advance, knowing that the man was infamous for spilling gallons and gallons of vinegar that suffocated others.

The system was dead silent at first. And when Wang Fuming thought that the system would begin to condemn him, the other man spoke in a quiet, soothing voice. 'It's okay. I already know your adoration towards me. I trust host to not have lecherous desires towards people that aren't me.'

Wang Fuming was moved to tears at the system's display of loyalty. BL misunderstanding, who? If you just opened your mouth and flapped your lips, all the misunderstandings in the world could be easily solved!

Successful communication ✓!

But, the system's gospel-like patience and understanding attitude was not something that others adopted. The gazes that surrounded Wang Fuming felt like heated spikes that stabbed into his body from all directions, embedding their hatred and disgust, and the overwhelming killing intent to simply rush over and beat Wang Fuming into a pulp. It was a very grim situation for all parties involved— for the accused Wang Fuming, and for the students that thoroughly believed their once reliable and amicable senior brother was in fact, a trouser-chasing hooligan that liked to pick on delicate younger brothers.

The corners of Wang Fuming's lips twitched incessantly. First, he had to wash dishes at the back of a brothel, was thrown into jail, spent a honey-moon with his beloved system, but now.. he was being accused of touching young boys!? How preposterous was this claim? The character Wang Fuming in itself was as twisted and two-faced as one could be, but Wang Fuming didn't think the original character would stoop so low to this level as well.

To defend his honour and title as the 'trustworthy senior brother,' Wang Fuming vigorously yelled out. "You have a colourful imagination, dear junior brother! And such a serious allegation like this.. how could you mention it like an easy breath? Where is the proof then? Dare I say, this is just indiscriminate slander!"

He grabbed a fistful of his fabric, touching his forehead with the back of his hand to imitate the renaissance painting of women in distress; a beautiful but heart-wrenching scene. He even released a seemingly uncontrollable round of dry coughs, as if really being traumatized to the brink of death. Keeping his prior sickly image of having lost everything, but to remain stalwart and faithful, when Wang Fuming coughed so woefully like this, others couldn't help but develop a sense of having wronged the man.

Look at his ghastly pallour! The blood-shot eyes of a wounded beast! His lips were thin, which only made the paleness of the skin more prominent. Looking at him now... he did not appear as a leecher, but a genuine, heartbroken senior brother.

The hearts of those present began to waver. One of the junior brothers that were present hesitantly stretched his hand out and made a soft, reluctant inquiry.

"Ri.. Right..? Senior brother has never shown interest in boys younger than him.. his.. his heart was like that of an immovable rock, only interested in the moral path of the sword. Besides, the rumours just seemed to have spawned out of nowhere. Can we really trust the original source so blindly? Think of it, this is like challenging our tight-knit bond of brotherhood! We shouldn't doubt our senior brother so easily!"
