Chapter 6
My peanuts are gone
"You didn't prostitute!!"
Does that even God damn count as whoring?! He was the richest man in China, how could he prostitute himself.
He wanted to open up Xia Qing Shu's heavenly head to see what kind of brain circuitry it was that would say such a thing! There was also that damned "Shougongsha", anyone with a normal IQ would not think that the red mole on his hand was a sign of purity.
Chen Zhiyu closed his eyes. Inhale......Exhale.
In his twenty-five years of living, no one had ever been able to mobilize his emotions like this. Xia Qing Shu was considered the first person.
"Mr. Chen, can you keep your voice down?" Xia Qing Shu leaned on the edge of the car window, "sadly" looking out the window at the crowd and the trees, trying to remember the plot.
In the original book, Chen Zhiyu was invited to give a speech at the school and Xia Yubin received him as a student representative. Facing Chen Zhiyu, the richest man in China, Xia Yubin was not submissive and or arrogant in his approach, successfully attracting Chen Zhiyu's attention, and then, Chen Zhiyu started his pursuit of Xia Yubin ......
Xia Qing Shu read the novel while skipping parts and doesn't know where it was now.
When he wasn't talking, he looked like a lost deer, his long raven-feathered eyelashes blinking, looking distinctly well-behaved.
The two were silent.
Chen Zhiyu decided that he would not discuss the topic with him for now, if he continued to talk to this person with abnormal brain circuits, he would probably die of anger. After about five minutes, Xia Qing Shu spoke first, "Mr. Chen, are you going to give a speech at our school?"
Chen Zhiyu sneered in his heart, although the little fool spoke unreliably, he was quite concerned about his schedule. He had just agreed to an invitation from the University of R, and the little fool knew about it already.
Yes, next Monday." Chen Zhiyu stared at the back of his snow-white neck for two seconds, the stuffy breath in his chest subsiding, "You ...... Why don't you call me brother anymore?"
After all, when we first met, Xia Qing Shu opened and closed his mouth with "brother", his voice was sweet and soft, his heart and eyes were full of him.
It was quite something.
"My mother said that anyone who asks me to call him brother without a blood relationship is a scumbag." Xia Qing Shu turned his head, tilted his head and asked in a naive and small voice, "Mr. Chen, do you want me to call you brother?"
"....... Forget it."
The conversation broke abruptly and Xia Qingshu got out of the car, sweetly saying goodbye to Chen Zhiyu, "Bye, Mr Chen."
As he waved, the vermilion mole on his wrist was extraordinarily enchanting, like a cluster of fire that fell under Chen Zhiyu's eyes.
After Xia Qingshu left, the annoying smell of lemon milk, also disappeared.
～
Xia Qingshu returned to school with his backpack on, and had just entered the school through the west gate when he noticed someone holding up a camera to photograph him. He waved at the camera, smiled and headed for the faculty office.
According to his research, the public school costs over 300,000 yuan a year in tuition fees, and Xia Lao Er's family earns over 200,000 a year, with all the family's savings going to his tuition, and His five-year-old brother is often ill, his medical bills costing tens of thousands a year, the family was struggling.
Xia Lao Er is frugal and most of the family's income was sent to Grandpa Xia. Now that he has disassociated himself from Old Man Xia, he decided to drop out of school to save more money for his brother's medical treatment.
He went to the Registrar's Office to ask about the procedures for withdrawing from school, which had only been at for half a semester, and wondered if he could get a small refund at his discretion.
The teacher at the Registrar's Office was very kind, and when he heard that he wanted to withdraw, he persuaded him for a while and then gave him the relevant documents to fill out and bring back. With the information in hand, Xia Qing Shu went back to his dormitory to pack his things.

The dormitory was a four-room suite, each with a bedroom and a separate bathroom in the bedroom and a common living room inside the suite.
When he came out, he found someone sitting on the sofa in the living room, it was He Chen who had just scolded him.
When He Chen saw him, he visibly froze, having just missed him in the dim light of the garden, but now that there was no shade, his vision was more strongly impacted.
Xia Qing Shu had changed his clothes, and looked as if he had been reborn, so beautiful that it was impossible to ignore. He Chen unconsciously blurted out, "Do you think you can get my attention by dressing like this?"
Xia Qing Shu: "......"
It seemed to be someone the original body liked.
Xia Qing Shu faintly glanced at the other party and then withdrew his gaze.
He Chen was very sunny and handsome looking.
Sorry to disappoint you buddy, the Xia Qing Shu who liked you has disappeared.
Seeing that Xia Qing Shu ignored him, He Chen was a little exasperated as he stopped the other party's way, "Did you copy from Brother Yu Bin, you really don't learn do you?"
Brother Yu Bin likes to wear white shirts and jeans and Xia Qing Shu's outfit is almost the same as Brother Yu Bin's.
Xia Qing Shu: "......"
He almost forgot that he is the canon fodder to the protagonist Xia Yubin. Against the backdrop of his sinister and vicious behaviour, it showed Xia Yubin's superb appearance.
"What did I do?" Xia Qing Shu asked, really wanting to know how vicious he was.
He Chen sneered, opened his phone and threw it into Xia Qing Shu's arms.
Xia Qing Shu caught the phone and opened the school forum, seeing the top post #New School grass of the Year election# followed by a fiery red burst of words.
He clicked into the post and there were several close-up photos of him on the front.
"Mmmmmm, nice shot."
The photos had his side face in class, his bright as a lotus flower smile as he entered the school, fresh and energetic, like an angel fallen from the sky.
Sunny, bright and fresh.
[This, this is the school flower from another school going in the wrong venue, right?
[Can I call him my wife?
[Asking weakly, can I take him home to warm my bed if I choose?
[Upstairs you're thinking of farts ......taking my wife away]
Xia Qing Shu's small face flushed, "This, is this a serious school grass selection?"
He pulled down and found that he had the first votes, behind him was none other than Xia Yubin, oh, and He Chen, who also had a high number of votes and was vaguely trending to overtake Xia Yubin.
He Chen had star shaped eyebrows, he looked arrogant and domineering, with a smile that made him look very handsome. On the other hand, Xia Yubin's looks were not bad on their own, but in a crowd of photos of handsome men, they were a bit dull.

He really wanted to know how he was elected as the school's top school grass last year.
He Chen coldly snorted, "You think I'll look at you just because you've been elected as the school grass?"
How could this person be like this?
Xia Qing Shu tossed the phone back to He Chen and asked in a low voice, "Did I take the photo? Did I vote? Did I make the post?"
The bombardment of such soulful questions rendered He Chen speechless.
"Did I dress like this and ask you to look at it me?"
Xia Qing Shu was exasperated, he is obviously wearing an ordinary shirt, how did it enter He Chen's brain he was wearing something extroadinary like lingerie......
He Chen was very angry, "These people only look at the face, they do not know that you are a full scumbag, you...such low character like you, what qualifications do you have to be chosen as the school grass?!"
"You're not even as good as a hair on Brother Yu Bin's body!!!"
Before, He Chen and Xia Qing Shu were in the same dormitory, and they were living in one room without any problems. When He Chen invited his roommate to dinner and was recognized as the young master of the He family in the south of the city, the vain Xia Qing Shu began to pester He Chen.
On one occasion, he took advantage of He Chan's drunkenness and climbed into his bed to touch his ass. If not for the other two roommates, Xia Qing Shu would have been beaten to death.
He had a very bad impression of Xia Qingshu. How could someone with such a corrupt character be elected as the school's grass? He felt deeply that only someone as talented as Xia Yubin was qualified to be elected as the school grass.
Xia Qing Shu was also very angry, he had done nothing and he was called a loose character, he was so angry that he blushed red.
"Then you go and expose me."
This kind of immodest election, he didn't want to be part of either.
He Chen picked up his phone and commented under Xia Qing Shu's photo: "This person is of low character, lustful and greedy for money, lecherous. He is extremely slutty and has an extremely disorderly private life."
Someone in the comments quickly replied, "F*ck, there must be a problem with this man, to slander my wife."
"Really? Really? I want to see my wife lewd/slutty ......"
"This comment looks like a person who wants to eat alone ......"
"Eating alone kills the whole family!!! You can't monopolize your wife, if you can't control our bull?!"
He Chen's comment was quickly followed by hundreds of replies below, the male college student's imagination was enough to make people blush.
Xia Qingshu wanted to see what he had posted and hooked his head to it, but He Chen, his face dripping red, shielded his phone tightly and refused to let the other boy look at it.
When Xia Yubin knocked on the door, he saw He Chen and Xia Qing Shu staring at each other with wide eyes.
After asking what was going on, Xia Yubin smiled and came over to take his hand, "Qing Shu, the drama club has an event, didn't you really want to go see it before, I'll take you there."
Xia Qing Shu looked down at the hand that was being held tightly, "No, I want to go home."
Xia Yubin frowned, "Qing Shu, are you angry with us?"
Xia Qingshu blinked and didn't say anything.

He Chen whined behind him, "Brother Yubin, don't be so nice to him. He's just a little white-eyed wolf."
Xia Yubin smiled, "Qing Shu, I heard that someone outside is looking for you, have you found them?"
"No. ......"
"Qing Shu, why are you wearing your school uniform today? Huh, not wearing any accessories today either."
Seeing how familiar the other party was, Xia Qing Shu put down the luggage in his hands and asked, "Are we good friends?"
Xia Yubin: "Of course."
Xia Qing Shu: "Then why didn't you help me when He Chen scolded me in the garden earlier?"
He Chen: "......" When did I ever scold you?
"Aren't good friends supposed to help each other out?"
Xia Yubin: "Sorry Qing Shu, I was shocked, I didn't know why Sam was so mean ...... I pulled him, but he was too strong, I'm sorry ......"
Then Xia Qing Shu watched as Xia Yubin cried, until the eyes were raining with tears.
Xia Qinshu："......"
Never seen such a refreshing and refined lotus tea!
"Brother Yu Bin, how can you be blamed for this? It's obviously him eavesdropping on us." He Chen became even angrier and glared viciously at Xia Qing Shu.
"Don't cry, I'll go with you." Xia Qing Shu opened his duffel bag, "You help me choose a dress and accessories."
"It's good that you don't blame me." With tears on her face, Xia Yubin found some rose lace-trimmed t-shirts with holes and a dark green beaded necklace from her pocket, and laughed through tears, "Qing Shu, this looks good."
Xia Qing Shu didn't take it: "This is for you, You can wear it to the drama club with me."
Xia Yubin: "......"
Xia Qingshu: "Didn't you say this looks good, wear it if it looks good."
Xia Yubin: "Qing Shu, I, how can I want something from you?"
Xia Qingshu grabbed his wrist and put the dark green beaded necklace around his neck, then grabbed some small trinkets from his bag and put them on his hands.
"Oh my, it looks so good on Brother Yu Bin. If you take me like a friend, you'll have to keep wearing it."
Finally, he pretended to be angry and added a sentence, like a child's temper, "If you don't wear it, you don't like me, I don't want to be your friend."
Xia Yubin: "......"
He Chen coldly snorted, "Whatever is dirty and smelly just put it on Brother Yu Bin!"
At Xia Qing Shu's insistence, Xia Yubin put on a rose red lace-trimmed non-mainstream T-shirt and wore a lot of accessories on his body.

Xia Qing Shu was satisfied that although a tea, it didn't look like a lotus anymore.
Xia Yubin usually dresses in light colours, he is very thin and his delicate look was lovable. Wearing a rose t-shirt and accessories, he has a sense of "ugly people make a lot of mistakes".
Under the backdrop of Xia Yubin, Xia Qing Shu is even more fresh and handsome.
He wanted to know what the other party was up to, so he followed him with his bag on his back.
Xia Yubin was the vice president of the drama club, and when he arrived, many of the younger students gathered around and called him senior. In the drama club, Xia Yubin's strange costume did not arouse anyone's curiosity. On the contrary, Xia Qing Shu, with his outstanding appearance, attracted a lot of attention.
Xia Yubin seemed to have really brought him to see the play, and gave him a front row seat and went off on his own.
Xia Qing Shu took out a bag of fish skin peanuts from his school bag. Xia's mother would prepare a little snack for him every day, with peanuts, fruit, and chocolate.
After eating two peanuts, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his stomach and a bit nauseous, so he quickly ran to the bin and threw up the peanuts.
Had he eaten bad peanuts?
He put the peanuts on the table and went backstage to get some water. After drinking and rinsing his mouth, he felt a little better.
Behind the stage curtain, Xia Yubin pulled back the curtain to reveal a slit and pointed at Xia Qing Shu in the audience, "How's that, not bad, right?"
A man stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, smiling in a sinister manner, "Where did you find that little sweet cake, it looks delicious."
Xia Yubin: "I've brought you the man, the rest is up to you."
Xia Qing Shu came back from getting water and found that the fish skin peanuts and small snacks he had put on the table were missing. He was so angry, he was going to eat them while watching the play.
He checked his school bag and found that it too had been moved, with a pair of worn underwear and a TT with a love symbol painted on it sitting in the outermost bag of his school bag. This, who put this there, it's disgusting.
Xia Yubin had gone to a lot of trouble to bring him to the drama club just to find a pervert. A pervert to disgust him? It was indeed disgusting.
He knew that Xia Yubin had a perverted hairdresser, Zhou Qian, and they had a good relationship. Zhou Qian likes to torment pretty boys. Anyone he takes a fancy to will receive a TT from him, foreshadowing a kidney-killing relationship between the two. The abusive relationship between Zhou Qian and his young boyfriend is exactly the kind of sub-CP in Exclusive Favourite.
He didn't expect this disgusting man to fancy him.
Xia Qing Shu looked up, there was surveillance at the entrance of the auditorium and his position was in the surveillance range. However, it was troublesome to apply for the transfer of surveillance. His family background was mediocre, and the school could not possibly transfer surveillance for him because of a trivial matter.
Even if they did, if they found out who was responsible, it would only become an irrelevant lecture and would have no effect on them at all. It is very likely that Zhou Qian was the one who put this disgusting stuff in his school bag, and Zhou Qian is very good to Xia Yubin and would not give him up. It is basically useless to report the teacher. The pervert would instead become more excited by his ineffective resistance.
Oh, what should he do?
Xia Qing Shu was so "anxious" that he was on the verge of tears, and it was only after a long time that he whispered to the students around him, "My peanuts are gone!"
After about ten minutes, he saw a sign on the wall saying, "If you have any problems, call the police", so he picked up the phone and called 110, "Uncle police, my peanuts have been stolen."
On the other side of the phone, he was very nice, "Look carefully, you might have dropped them on the floor."
Xia Qing Shu said in a weak voice, "Uncle police, I searched but couldn't find it, there is a CCTV here, can you help me transfer the CCTV and see who took it?"
His action drew the attention of the surrounding students, many of whom thought it was too trivial for him to call the police after dropping the bag of peanuts and asking for a surveillance transfer.
The caller also thought it was trivial and was reluctant to send the police. The other side even said that next time he would be treated to two packets of marinated peanuts.
Xia Qing Shu cried and said into the phone, "Uncle police, those peanuts are what my family uses to drug rats, people will die if they eat them!"
Chapter 7
You've been prostituted!
Because human lives were at stake, the police and school police soon arrived at the school, and the security guards put the drama club on lockdown straight away.
The broadcast looped, "The drama club students, please stay in place, don't run around!!! Don't run around!!! Don't run around!!!"
As most of the school's students are rich and famous, the school authorities did not dare to be slow. In less than five minutes, an ambulance drove into the campus and stopped in front of the drama club. It was human nature to watch the fun, and in a short while, basically half of the school was gathered in front of the drama club.
He Chen rushed to the backstage and saw Xia Yubin talking to another guy, "Brother Yubin, what's going on, I heard that a lot of police came?"
Xia Yubin had no idea what he was eating in his mouth and slowly swallowed it, "We don't know either."
He touched the stool in the front row with his foot and asked, "Zhou Qian, did you commit another crime?"
Zhou Qian was very famous at the school. His family was the leading media boss in the country, and it was said that the teachers were very polite to him because of his family's deep background. When he was a child, his right eye was injured due to negligent parental care, and his pupil was light grey in colour. He wears long fringes that cover half of his face to block his heterochromatic pupil.
He didn't know if it was because of his physical handicap, but he was particularly fond of bullying small, soft beauties. Any student from a slightly weaker family background who was good-looking would be forced to become his little boyfriend, play with him for a while, get bored, and then dump him.
But his reputation in the outside world is extremely good, because the heat would be on his family, so, even if something scandalous happens, the family will set things right with money.
Zhou Qian pinched a peanut and put it in front of his nose, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then put it into his mouth contentedly, chewing and laughing at the same time, "I haven't had time to commit a crime yet. Even if I did, would the police dare to arrest me? My grandfather is ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, a group of policemen rushed into the background, pointing at him and saying in a stern voice, "That's him, quick! He's still eating!"
Zhou Qian froze for a moment and was just about to lash out when a doctor in a white coat rushed forward, pressed his neck, put two fingers together and stuck them directly into his throat.
Before Zhou Qian had time to react, he vomited with a loud "wow".
When he had finished vomiting, the policeman asked, "Has anyone else eaten Xia Qing Shu's peanuts?
Xia Yubin pursed his lips and silently took a step back. The backstage dressing room was small, usually stacked with a bit of make-up props, and at this time it was filled with Zhou Qian's vomit, smelling so bad it made people weep.
One after another, people came in behind them, and Xia Yubin and He Chen were blocked in, in a dilemma.
"These two students, have you eaten Xia Qing Shu's classmate's peanuts?" The police asked.
They had contacted the school police on the way to transfer the surveillance and found that it was Zhou Qian who had taken Xia Qing Shu's snacks and put something else into Xia Qing Shu's school bag. Because it happened at the school, considering that school bullies basically work in groups, they were afraid that there might be a leak.

He Chen shook his head, "No!"
Xia Yubin also followed and shook his head slowly, hesitating before speaking, "No ......"
"That's good!" The policeman walked around the two and went to Zhou Qian to ask, "Has anyone else eaten Xia Qing Shu's classmate's peanuts?"
Zhou Qian who suddenly had his throat pulled out, his head was dizzy and he just subconsciously glanced behind him. The paramedics next to him put him on a stretcher, "Quick, take him to the hospital for a stomach pump! Ask questions as you go!"
The situation was very urgent. It was the first time Zhou Qian was in such a mess, being fiddled with like a rag doll. Xia Yubin's face turned white and she asked weakly, "What's wrong with the peanuts?"
The policeman said very seriously, "Those are the peanuts that Xia Qing Shu classmate's family used to drug rats, they are poisonous!"
After saying that, he trotted up after Zhou Qian's stretcher, "Zhou Qian classmate, who else has eaten the peanuts?!"
Xia Yubin's face sank and he quickly followed, gently tugging at the police officer's sleeve, "Police officer, I, I seem to have accidentally eaten them."
The policeman stopped in his tracks, "Did you eat it or not? You don't know whether you ate it or not? Are you still sober, classmate? Can you speak more clearly?"
The policeman's question was very stern, and his eyes had a vague sense of disdain and contempt. He heard that the students of this school were from very well-off families, so how could they steal peanuts from others. Now the situation was critical and they refused to admit it voluntarily for fear of getting a reputation of bullying their classmates.
The police officer, who had seen a lot of people, could see Xia Yubin's small mind at once and spoke without mercy. Xia Yubin was dumbfounded on the spot, his eyes fogged up and his aggression was almost materialised.
He Chen couldn't stand it any longer, so he shielded Xia Yubin behind him and choked out, "How could Brother Yubin steal Xia Qing Shu's peanuts! Brother Yu Bin has just said that he didn't eat it! You can go now!"
The police officer could not take life in vain and stood still, his sharp eyes fixed on Xia Yubin, "This student, I ask you once more, did you eat it? If you don't tell the truth, the ambulance will leave later, and if you delay your condition, you'll die."
Only when he heard the word "die" did Xia Yubin nodded his head with teary eyes and said sadly, "Yes."
"It was given to me by Zhou Qian, I didn't know it was Xia Qing Shu's ......."
He hadn't finished his sentence when two paramedics rushed up behind him, trying to grab him as if he were a chicken, pinching his mouth and reaching their hands down his throat to help him vomit. In less than five minutes, a picture of Xia Yubin wearing a rose-red, non-mainstream, holey T-shirt and covered in vomit was posted on the forum.
[Is this Yu Bin senior? What's going on? I'm well aware that good-looking brothers can shit and fart, but this is so disillusioning!
[I heard that he and Zhou Qian were bullying their classmates and were killed in return!
[I can't believe he's with him!]
Sponsored Content
[Good job! School bullies go to hell!]
[Xia Yubin is sick in the head, how could he hang out with Zhou Qian!]
The sound of the ambulance echoed through the campus, and to Xia Qing Shu's ears, it was like a dying patient moaning. Moaning-
"Dead~~~ dead~~~ dead ~~~"
Very pleasant.
The evidence, "poisoned peanuts", was taken to the laboratory for testing and the results showed that the peanuts were not poisonous. Fortunately, it was only a false alarm and no one was poisoned.
Only Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian went to the hospital for a stomach pump and blood sampling package.
As well known, a stomach pump is a very unpleasant thing to do when the stomach tube is inserted. The feeling of the stomach turning over when the tube is inserted into the throat's oesophagus is so painful that one wants to die. Hopefully, such pain will make Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian realise their mistakes, change their ways and stop bullying the weak.
～
Because of the suspicion of making a false police report, at this moment, Xia Qing Shu sat in the interrogation room to be investigated.
Police officer: "Why did you bring poisoned peanuts into the school?"
Xia Qing Shu sat back, put his hands on his knees and whispered, "I don't know, I tasted one and found it didn't taste right, so I threw it up."
Peanuts and purple potatoes had been cooked together, the colour looked a bit strange and the taste was particularly strange, and the first time they saw it, they thought something was wrong too.
The police had seen the full surveillance, which showed Xia Qing Shu taking out the peanuts, eating one by herself, then immediately throwing up and going to get water to rinse her mouth again. After rinsing his mouth, he found that the peanuts were missing and searched for about ten minutes before calling the police.
Police officer: "Why didn't you call the police right away?"
Xia Qing Shu pouted and said "timidly", "I was afraid that they would bully me and that I would be bullied even more if I told the teacher after being bullied. I knew I was stupid and no one would be willing to help me if I was bullied. Then, I was afraid they would eat the peanuts and die, so I got up the courage to call."
When he finished, he blinked twice and tears flowed down his face. The male policeman was a bit overwhelmed and was replaced by a female policeman with candy to coax him, "Qing Shu is a good boy, Qing Shu is not crying, tell me slowly what you know, Uncle Police will help you, next time you are bullied, you must call Uncle Police and Auntie."
Xia Qingshu sniffled, "Sister police officer, next time I am bullied, I will call you. Because you are pretty and look like a good person."
The policewoman laughed, and her questions became gentler and gentler. Such a cute little student, how could he lie and deliberately make a fake report. He was just scared of being bullied.

Even if he was bullied, he was still worried about the life of his abuser. In the heart of the policewoman, Xia Qing Shu is a sweet-talking little angel. Afraid that he would be bullied again in the future, the policewoman patiently taught him, "Qing Shu, you can't be like this, this is how you will always be bullied. You have to be brave and resist when you encounter bullying."
Xia Qingshu nodded and squeezed his little fist, "I will!"
～
Inside the ward, Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian were lying on the hospital bed on an IV after having their stomachs washed. Knowing that it was just a misunderstanding and that the peanuts were not poisonous, the nurse removed the drip and said they could leave the hospital and go home.
Zhou Qian and Xia Yubin, however, did not move. Zhou Qian even pulled the covers up and covered his head. A video of the two lying on the stretcher covered in vomit was posted to campus forums for group ridicule, and some even speculated whether Zhou and Xia's families were bankrupt and needed to steal food from their classmates.
It was a disgrace to the family.
They couldn't go to school for at least a week, atleast until the heat of the story died down.
"Pack up and go home."
A middle-aged man in a suit stood at the door of the ward, the man's eyebrows were sharp, not like he was visiting a patient, but with the arrogance of someone in power patrolling his territory.
The visitor was Xia Yubin's elder brother, the administrator of this private hospital.
"Big brother, did you come to pick me up?" When Xia Yubin saw Xia Shan, his eyes flashed for a moment and he tried to prop himself up, but halfway through, he lay back down weakly.
Xia Shirt glanced at Xia Yubin and frowned, "The doctor said you were fine."
After a pause, he added, "Not here to pick you up, came over for something."
The business-like tone was ruthless. Xia Yubin lowered his eyes, "Big brother, I won't stay here."
"No one's kicking you out, even if you're not ......" Xia Shirt turned his words around and admonished, "Did you bully your classmates at school?"
Xia Yubin hurriedly explained, "No, we were just joking around."

"Joking?" Xia Shirt narrowed his eyes, but the scrutiny in his eyes did not diminish by half. A joke had mad ethe family embarassed.
"I won't corrupt the family." Xia Yubin bowed his head, revealing his snow-white neck.
By the time he looked up again, Xia Shirt had already gone out.
～
In the senior VIP ward, Chen Zhiyu was lying on the sofa.
"Are you free to talk to me?"
Xia Shirt was a doctor of psychology and had joined Xia's management directly after graduation. Although he did not sit in the hospital, his friends loved to talk to him when they had some psychological problems.
Xia Shan took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, opened the bottle and poured the wine into a glass. Chen Zhiyu took the red wine glass, shook it, watched the red liquid hanging on the wall of the glass slowly falling down, and sighed, "In this world, how come there are still people who are eager to distance themselves from me?"
Chen Zhiyu was the richest man in China at a young age, handsome, and his traffic was even bigger than the current top stream, and he was the light of thousands of young men and womens' hearts, and his name was the "wealth code" of China.
He really couldn't understand why Xia Qingshu would be like this. He should have been surprised when he personally approached him, and then he should have been overjoyed, and finally tried to get back in his bed, dreaming of flying over branches and becoming a phoenix. Yet none of this happened, and Xia Qing Shu wanted to run away when he saw him.
Thinking of that annoying lemon creamy smell, Chen Zhiyu's brows knitted slightly.
"You are drunk before you even drink?" Xia Shan smiled and took a shallow sip of red wine.
Chen Zhiyu ignored the other man and sighed at his reflection in the red wine glass, "I can't figure it out."
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Xia Shan sat across from him, seeing Chen Zhiyu like this for the first time and finding it very rare.
"The other party obviously likes me, but they are afraid to get close." Chen Zhiyu took a sip of red wine and frowned slightly, "Could it be that there is something unspeakable?"
He briefly described what happened that day, "Had sex, wouldn't admit it ...... the denial was firm, not like a lie."
"He couldn't be playing hard to get, right?"
With Xia Qing Shu's stupid look, using such advanced tactic, not like he can manage. Could it be that Xia Qing Shu was trying to play hard to get game, but he got side-tracked? The more he thought about it, the more correct he felt.
Chen Zhiyu shook his red wine glass as the fog before him was lifted and he saw the light. He said with certainty, "That must be it."
Xia Shan put down the wine glass, pulled down Chen Zhiyu's collar, saw the nail marks that hadn't dissipated, and laughed, "What's so hard to figure out, you've been prostituted."
Chapter 8
The protagonist's "stamp collecting journey" kicks off
Fingers squeezing the slender goblet, Chen Zhiyu lowered his eyes, his eyes gloomy.
A ray of sunlight shone in from the window, a mixture of light and dark, shadows and shadows, setting his face even deeper.
Xia Shan pulled his shirt together and laughed, "Sorry, couldn't resist, mainly because I didn't expect the iron tree to blossom one day."
Chen Zhiyu put his glass down, a coldness permeating his face.
"Who is the other party? What does he look like?" Xia Shan, who never pried into gossip, was piqued and asked several questions in a row.
Without speaking, Chen Zhiyu rechecked his clothes, buttoned the last button, smoothed out the folds on his shirt and gave Xia Shan a cold look.
Xia Shirt knew that he did not want to say anything. What Chen Zhiyu did not want to talk about, no one else could ever ask.
When Xia Shan saw that he was not worried, he put away his joking mood and became serious, "Aren't you going to be abstinent for the rest of your life? You've only just turned 25 and you've broken your abstinence."
Chen Zhiyu's face was even sullen, not knowing what he was thinking. After a moment, he said indifferently, "Help me look up a person's medical information."
"Name?"
"Xia Qing Shu, almost eighteen or nineteen years old."
"Eighteen or nineteen?"
"...... Not sure, freshman at R university."
"You don't even know how old someone is after you've slept with them?!"
"...... It's not him!" Chen Zhiyu black face, incoherent, "A friend asked me to check for them."
Xia Shan typed the name in the system, Xia Qing Shu, as if he had heard of it somewhere. Xia Shan suddenly remembered that the classmate Xia Yubin bullied was named Xia Qing Shu.
"Which friend?"
"You don't know them."
"No problem, I'll have someone send it to you right away." The Xia family's industry had infiltrated almost the entire medical institutions in the capital, and in less than five minutes, Xia Qing Shu's information was passed over.

Chen Zhiyu clicked on the email, the cover was a picture of Xia Qing Shu, the little teenager on the picture was staring with big eyes, pursed lips and dull eyes.
"Sure enough, really stupid." Chen Zhiyu ignored the photo and clicked straight into the medical records, read a few pages, then exited and clicked on the photo again. The teenager in the photo had not changed much from the features he had seen.
Demented, stereotyped, boring.
On closer inspection however there was a difference.
He had come into contact with Xia Qing Shu twice so far, and although the other man spoke foolishly, his eyes were different. The Xia Qingshu he had met had dumb eyes and spoke with an unworldly dementedness that, on closer inspection, had a hint of the small mischievousness of an innocent child. There was a cunningness in the foolishness that was unwilling to suffer.
It's a completely different temperament from the character in the photograph. He looked at the tablet in fascination. Xia Shan approached and the two stared at the photo together.
"Aren't you going to a meeting?" Chen Zhiyu turned his head to look at Xia Shan and snapped the tablet backwards onto the hospital bed.
"He seems familiar, like I've seen him somewhere before." Xia Shirt brought the tablet straight over and zoomed in on the photo, turning his head to ask, "Don't you think so?"
"Don't think so." Chen Zhiyu extinguished the screen and put the tablet away in his bag, giving him a cold look, "I have a meeting at three, I'll leave first."
VIP had a special lift, Chen Zhiyu walked to the lift door and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
~~~
Xia Qing Shu came out from the police station and received a call from Xia Lao Er, old man Xia was hospitalized and called to name Xia Li to take care of him.
Li Xiao daughter-in-law, being honest, made soup and brought Xia Qingqiu to the hospital. Xia Lao Er is so determined to clear the air with Old Man Xia that Xia Qing Shu, fearing that Old Man Xia will pretend to be sick and coax Xia Lao Er rushed to the hospital, not expecting to see Chen Zhi Yu just as he exited the lift.
In the original book, Chen Zhiyu is unpredictable and moody, and no one who messes with him would end up well. The last time they met, although the conversation was not very pleasant, they still managed to muddle through the "defilement of innocence" thing.
He would never admit to having sex with Chen Zhiyu anyway. Chen Zhiyu was innocent, and so was he.
Xia Qing Shu quickly lowered his head, pretending not to have seen him, buried his head and rushed forward. Rushing to the end of the corridor, he carefully looked up and found that Chen Zhiyu was gone.
So close.
He heard that Xia Yubin was in hospital for a stomach pump, so could it be that Chen Zhiyu had come to visit him? He wondered how far the two have progressed.
When Xia Qingshu found the ward, old man Xia was lying on the bed, moaning long and short chants. Li Xiao daughter-in-law and Xia Lao Er stood next to him, heads bowed, not speaking, while Eldest Uncle Xia stood watching and two cousins were playing a game with their mobile phones.

He didn't know what Eldest aunt was saying, but when she saw Xia Qing Shu enter, she immediately shut her mouth. Xia Qingshu sat down on the edge of the bed and gently shouted, "Grandpa."
Old man Xia struggled to "half close" his eyes, he couldn't even lift his eyelids, he looked more out of breath than in.
Xia Lao Er tugged on Li Xiao Daughter-in-law's sleeve, who gritted her teeth and turned her head. He didn't know what unequal treaty Uncle Xia has proposed again, but Xia Lao Er had gone soft.
Xia Qing Shu sat down on the hospital bed, stomping off his shoes, his small white feet swaying back and forth, "Mom, what's wrong with grandpa?"
The eldest aunt came over and pulled him, "Qing Shu, grandpa is very sick, almost not ......" Halfway through her sentence, she actually sobbed.
Xia Qingshu was shocked, "Grandpa is going to ascend to heaven?"
The eldest aunt did not answer, inclined her head and swung her head as a tacit acknowledgement.
Xia's eyes were moist.
Xia Qingshu grabbed his eldest aunt's hand, his puzzled little eyes dripping with surprise, "Then can we, can we eat meat?"
"......"
"I want to eat roast pork."
"Pfft-" Li Xiaoyao daughter-in-law couldn't hold back her laughter. Eldest Aunt Xia Da Bo was holding in her laughter so hard that even Xia Lao Er, who was immersed in grief, couldn't help but break into laughter.
"Cough cough" Old man Xia choked on his saliva and let out a thick coughing sound on the bed, after coughing, he sat himself up and pointed at Xia Qing Shu, with crossed eyebrows, "You – you – you – -"
The eyes were bulging and the eyebrows were glaring. That look could not wait to cool Xia Qing Shu off on the spot.
Xia Qingshu jumped off the bed and hid behind Xia Lao Er, saying with regret, "Okay I won't eat it."
Xia Lao Er patted his hand and said soothingly, "Dad will make it for you at home later."
Old man Xia blew on his beard, his chest heaving with anger, "Lao Er, you've raised a good son, to curse me to death!"
Xia Qing Shu stuck his head out from behind Xia Lao Er and said in a resigned voice, "Master, I didn't, it was Eldest Aunt who cursed you to death ...... I didn't, I was simply craving meat."
It was indeed the eldest aunt who had deliberately misled and acquiesced to Old Man Xia's imminent death at first. Old man Xia grunted coldly at the eldest aunt and twisted his head away.
Eldest aunt laughed and changed the subject, "Lao Er, you wash the urinal and take it to the balcony to dry, it smells."

Xia Lao Er honestly took the urinal and went into the bathroom.
Eldest aunt: "Xiaoxiao daughter-in-law, you feed Dad." Li Xia-in-law took out a thermos bucket, served soup and fed him. When Old Man Xia finished the chicken soup, his face was not as dishevelled and pale as he had been, but slightly rosy.
When Xia Lao Er returned to the ward after washing the night pot, the eldest uncle cleared his throat and said, "Older brother, although our father is not related to us by blood, he at least raised us, and our family elders have also said that it is our duty to support the elderly, and we can't just ignore our father when he is in hospital."
Xia Lao Er, who could not speak, looked down at his feet and gave a soft "hmm".
"Dad needs to be taken care of when he's in the hospital, and there are medical bills ......." The first uncle looked at Xia Qing Shu and paused, "You also know that your brother is not capable."
Xia Lao Er still did not say anything, "Oh".
Li Xiaodong's hand shook as she carried the bowl of soup, her eyes flushed a little. You're not even their son, and you have to contribute money and effort, his brain must have been left outside the door.
But she didn't dare to say anything, or she would be accused of "disrespecting the elderly" again, and the Xia family village's group of moral table turners who have nothing better to do are not to be messed with.
Xia Qing Shu took the soup bowl from Li Xiao Daughter-in-law's hand and asked in a low voice, "Mum, when taking care of Grandpa, do we do whatever Uncle Da and the others do?" Li Xiaoxiao daughter-in-law nodded her head.
Xia Qing Shu blinked his big eyes twice and thought about it, "They just moved their mouths."
Xia Qing Shu pointed at her eldest aunt, mimicking the tone of the other party just now, "Shu Fen, go and wash Lord Xia's pants and socks, there are several pairs piled up in the basin, Xia Zu De, go and pay grandpa's hospital fees, the nurse just came to call, there are not enough hospital fees."
After saying that, he pulled Li Xiaodong daughter-in-law to beg for praise, "I will take care of grandpa too."
Old man Xia: "......"
He felt himself getting more sick
When the eldest aunt heard Xia Qing Shu's words, her eyes glazed over and kicked the eldest Xia uncle. Eldest uncle pulled a bitter face, "Lao Er, let Qing Shu go back, children don't need to get involved in this ......"
Just halfway through, he was interrupted by Xia Qingshu, "Dad, my grandmother said you are a mallet, not even your own father but you are here serving him."
"Grandpa, they said that you are heartless, they are not your children , are you not afraid of being poisoned??!"
Old man Xia looked at the bowl in Xia Qing Shu's hand, and his face turned white.
Seeing that the old man Xia was about to get mad again, Xia Qing Shu hurriedly opened his phone and tapped on the WeChat group chat, "Master, it wasn't me who said that, it was grandpa Tang who said that."

There was a group in Xia Qing Shu's WeChat, several of the Xia family's better developed elders were all in it, and he had told them all about the family before he came.
"You son with filial piety, the family scandal must not be disclosed!" Old man Xia was so angry that he punched the bed and grabbed the cane beside the bed to hit Xia Qing Shu.
"Grandpa, I didn't spread it outside, we are all surnamed Xia, it can only be considered an internal propaganda." Xia Qingshu hid behind Uncle Xia, paddled his phone and read from the chat log, "Master, second grandfather said, let you go check your health, is it spermia, not a single son has been born."
"Third grandfather asked if you wanted him to adopt a son to you."
Old man Xia was so angry that he dropped his cane and lay on the bed twitching.
"Mom and Dad, we won't disturb Grandpa when he's asleep." Xia Qing Shu pulled Xia Lao Er and Li Xiao Daughter-in-law outside, and before leaving, thoughtfully helped Old Man Xia pull the curtain closed.
～
In the monitoring room, as Xia Qing Shu left, Chen Zhi Yu also stood up. He casually flipped open the medical records in his hand.
The medical record, written more than ten years ago, was relatively simple: Xia Qing Shu had a fever and high fever convulsions when he was five years old. His parents took him to the hospital for the first time at the age of eight. He had a normal IQ, but was simply slow, and after the age of ten, no more psychiatric visits were recorded.
But there are quite a few trauma visits, so it seems that little Bean was often bullied. It was a miracle he hadn't been beaten to death for being so silly and saying everything without thinking.
Chen Zhiyu closed the medical records and asked the staff to send him a copy of the surveillance video before leaving.
Just as he stepped out of the monitoring room, someone bumped into him head-on, he ducked sideways, but still got half a cup of coffee splashed on his shirt.
"Ah, I'm so sorry." Xia Yubin looked apologetic and took out a handkerchief to wipe it on Chen Zhiyu.
Chen Zhiyu quickly took two steps back, dodging Xia Yubin and staring at him with cold eyes.
Staring at him with such eyes, Xia Yubin couldn't help but shiver as he tried to squeeze out a smile, "Sorry, I didn't mean to. I'll pay for your dry cleaning."
Chen Zhiyu narrowed his eyes and gave a cold laugh, "You can't dry clean this suit."
"Or you can take off your clothes and I'll return it to you after I wash it?" Xia Yubin took out his phone and apologised, "Add a WeChat, it's so embarrassing."
Xia Qing Shu came out of the toilet just in time to see the two talking at the end of the corridor. He looked at them twice and hurried away.
The protagonist's stamp collecting journey kicks off ......
Chapter 9
Mr.Chen came again
Xia Yubin was a little annoyed. He was still smiling and apologetic on the surface, but in reality, he had been sneering in his heart. You are now cold and indifferent to me, and before long, you will be stalking me to death and loving me to the marrow of your bones.
Three years ago, he was reborn.
Before he was reborn, he had many suitors, and those suitors were deadly devoted to him. The suitors were all too good for him to give up on any, and he wandered among them, enjoying their love and courting.
Chen Zhiyu is the one that made him the most uneasy. He loved him so much that he made an enemy of the world in order to dominate him. In the end, he killed and maimed all his suitors, and he himself was badly injured.
Moreover, Chen Zhiyu was abstinent and aloof, the only suitor who did not have a relationship with him.
After his rebirth, the first thing he did was to wait for his first encounter with Chen Zhiyu, then use tenderness to dissolve his hostility and make Chen submit to him physically and mentally. Although he cannot let Chen Zhiyu be the one and only, he can give him the first time.
But after waiting for a long time, he and Chen Zhiyu did not meet like before, and he himself was even put into hospital by Xia Qing Shu. The strange thing is that none of this has happened before. But Xia Qing Shu was going to die, so nothing to be afraid of.
He had just heard the nurse say that Chen Zhiyu had come to the hospital and immediately sought him out.
"Excuse me, add a Wechat, I'll send you the clothes after they're washed." Xia Yubin held up his phone and displayed his QR code.
A critical gaze sized up Xia Yubin from head to toe, and Chen Zhiyu took a step back, "I know you."
Xia Yubin pursed his lips and blinked with some surprise, "Ah, really? May I ask who you are?"
Chen Zhiyu waved his hand and said carelessly, "You're Xia Shan's brother, right? I have this suit for 100,000, just ask him to pay for it directly."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Xia Yubin: ??
Why is his attitude so cold. Shouldn't we add WeChat and then chat slowly?
Chen Zhiyu was busy at work, unlike other suitors who had a lot of free time. He had a vague feeling that if he lost this opportunity, it would be difficult for the two of them to cross paths in the future.
In desperation, Xia Yubin reached out and grabbed the hem of Chen Zhiyu's shirt, "Mr Chen, can you please not tell my brother?"
Chen Zhiyu frowned and did not say anything, as a tacit acknowledgement.

Xia Yubin bit his lips as if he was holding back, but hesitated to open his mouth to explain the reason. Chen Zhiyu was a little impatient, took out his phone and handed it over, "Scan it."
Xia Yubin was inwardly ecstatic as he haughtily opened his phone and swiped the code. But, after scanning the code, he realized that the phone page was not a QR code for the other party to add friends, but a payment code for a payment of 100,000.
Xia Yubin looked up, puzzled, at the other party.
Chen Zhiyu: "What are you looking at, since I won't tell your brother, the clothes are naturally yours to pay for."
Xia Yubin simply didn't expect the other party to be like this, and for a moment, he couldn't choose his words: "Mr. Chen, you're so rich ......"
In his previous life, Chen Zhiyu was also the richest man in the country, so rich that he would throw a lot of money just to buy a smile from him. Chen Zhiyu gave him a secondary card that he could swipe at will without a limit, and he was able to live very well without having to work. This is also why he wanted to be with Chen Zhiyu earlier.
Chen Zhiyu frowned, "I have money and it's mine."
None of your business.
Xia Yubin came back to his senses, remembering that what he said was not quite right, and hurriedly explained, "Sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't mean that ......"
"Stop it, you knew who I was from the start, pretending not to know and spilling coffee was a deliberate attempt to approach me." Chen Zhiyu cut the other party off, his eyes showing disdain, "You've seen too many dramas." After saying that, he surprisingly walked away without looking back.
Xia Yubin was left alone in the same place, the hand holding the coffee cup trembling slightly.
What happened?
What happened??!
Xia Yubin took a deep breath and clenched his fist. After five minutes of calmness, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Ah Sum, I want to borrow some money ...... It's a bit much, 100,000 ...... Thanks Sam, you've been really good to me."
After hanging up the phone, in less than a minute, he received a notification of the arrival of 100,000 yuan on his phone. Xia Yubin breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately, no one else had changed.
～
The next day, Xia Qing Shu carried his school bag to school and ran into Chen Zhiyu's black Bentley again at the entrance. He pretended not to see it and buried his head inside the school gate. Chen Zhiyu's car surprisingly followed him into the school gates, following him all the way.
Secretary Li rolled down the window and shouted, "Student Xia Qing Shu!"
Secretary Li had a loud voice, and with this yell, everyone around looked over.

The black Bentley did not attract attention at the University of R. What did attract attention was the licence plate number, 88888, which showed who the owner was. Xia Qing Shu did not want to be too conspicuous and had to walk over.
"Mr. Chen, what brings you here?" Xia Qingshu was carrying a shoulder bag and wearing a school uniform, and at a glance he was a well-behaved child.
"I'm here to give a speech at your school today." Chen Zhiyu opened the car door and gestured for him to get in.
Xia Qingshu obediently got into the car and let out a "wow", looking at Chen Zhiyu with starry eyes, "Mr. Chen, you're amazing."
Chen Zhiyu gave him a look, "Come with me after school, I'll take you to a place."
Xia Qingshu raised his head warily and stared at him, whispering, "I have something to do after school."
"What?"
"Why are you asking so much?" Xia Qingshu looked down and squeezed his fingers. Chen Zhiyu leaned forward and coldly pressed, "The other night when you climbed into my bed, forget?"
"...... That was the bad guy who put me up there." Xia Qing Shu didn't expect him to be so direct and hung his head low, revealing a white neckline.
"Did the bad guys help you take off your clothes too?" Chen Zhiyu smiled teasingly.
Xia Qingshu: "......"
Chen Zhiyu began to unbutton. He usually wore a shirt buttoned to the top one, ascetic and cold. Now with two buttons undone, his collarbone was exposed and his bulging throat knot slid up and down, releasing overwhelming hormone.
Xia Qingshu didn't know what he wanted to do, and as if in shock, covered his eyes with both hands, "I've not seen anything!"
Chen Zhiyu sternly ordered, "Put your hands down!"
"Won't." Xia Qing Shu blindfolded hIS eyes and shook his head continuously.
"Let go!" Chen Zhiyu grabbed his hand, "Look up at me!"
"I'm not looking." Xia Qingshu's strength was small and he was forced to lift his head, still with his eyes closed, a weak little one, as if he was a virtuous woman being forced. The body trembled slightly, pitifully.
"Open your eyes and look at me!" Chen Zhiyu threatened, "Or I'll take you to jail!"
Xia Qing Shu "whimpered" and slowly opened his eyes, crying and begging for mercy, "Mom said that looking at other people's white bodies, I will grow needle eyes."

Chen Zhiyu: "......"
"Let you look at my neck!"
Chen Zhiyu inclined his head to reveal the back of his neck, which was covered in scratches, crisscrossed and of varying shades, all the way down to his back. This showed that there were more such ambiguous marks on his back.
"Look more closely."
Chen Zhiyu fished out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, "Remember?"
Xia Qingshu blinked, took a quick glance and lowered his head again.
"Mr. Chen, you have to bathe regularly, otherwise you will grow fleas on your body, and you can't scratch indiscriminately on your itchy body, it will leave scars."
Chen Zhiyu: "......"
"...... This is what you scratched."
Xia Qingshu moved his body outwards and tried to stay away from Chen Zhiyu, "It wasn't me." After saying that, to prove his innocence, he parted his claws and handed them out. Previously his nails were long and stained with red nails, he had cut them and removed the nail polish after he got home. His fingers were clean and white, the nails translucent and smooth around the edges. The finger bones were slender and white, glistening like watery onions, not at all like the claws that could cause so many scratches.
Chen Zhiyu grabbed his hand, "You cut your nails."
Xia Qingshu did not reply immediately, holding his school bag for a while before asking in a thin voice, "Mr. Chen, what exactly do you want?"
Suddenly, Chen Zhiyu was confused by the question. He didn't know why he wanted to find Xia Qingshu. Xia Qingshu was foolish and steadfastly refused to admit that he had had sex with him, and his purpose was simple: he wanted Xia Qingshu to acknowledge that the two of them had had sex.
What about Xia Qing Shu, when he figures it out, will he come to pester him? Would he brag about it everywhere? He didn't like Xia Qing Shu, and there were plenty of people who liked him and wanted to marry him, so it didn't seem like much use to let him know that. But he just wanted Xia Qing Shu to know.
Chen Zhiyu grabbed Xia Qing Shu's hand and pulled him over to him, wrapping his arms around his neck, "This is how you grabbed me that night."
He wanted to help Xia Qingshu recreate the situation.
As soon as he got close, the lemon milk smell from Xia Qing Shu met him again. It was dense, like wispy smoke, and surrounded him.
Only when he was very close did Chen Zhiyu realise that the faint lemon smell was wafting out from his hair, which should be the smell of shampoo. The source of the milky smell seemed to be the other person's skin ......
Sponsored Content
He's an adult, why does he smell of milk.
Xia Qingshu tilted his head up and crashed into Chen Zhiyu's eyes. Chen Zhiyu's features were extremely deep and his long eyelashes were like ravens, several times better looking than the top stream idols he had seen before. In this world, he would definitely make thousands of girls exclaim "wow". Especially with the air of superiority that he carries with him. He is elegant, confident and dignified. He has a confident glint in his eye that is impossible to ignore.
Such a man should have made people want to get closer, but Xia Qing Shu was afraid of him.
He trembled and curled his fingers, scratching Chen Zhiyu's neck twice like a mosquito bag, and asked in a thin voice, "Like this?"
"A little more heavily."
The two of them were in such a foul position that Xia Qingshu sat sideways on Chen Zhiyu's lap, wrapping his hands around his neck and tickling him twice every now and then. His little face was white, his whole body was stiff and his nerves were tense.
Chen Zhiyu looked at his appearance, and for some reason, could not say anything critical. Seeing that the other party seemed to have no strength left, he pinched his wrist and put it around his neck, his mouth mockingly saying, "Haven't you eaten, so little strength?"
Xia Qingshu was forced to maintain the hugging position, which was awkward in every way, and he side-stepped his face to discuss with the other party in a small voice, "Mr. Chen, are you still itching?"
Chen Zhiyu chose to give up, "It doesn't itch anymore."
Xia Qingshu wrinkled his brow and said weakly, "I'm leaving then, yo."
"You wait a bit longer, I haven't finished my sentence yet."
Chen Zhiyu's face was cold and somewhat displeased. He pondered for a moment and didn't speak for half a day.
Xia Qing Shu sat back down on the sofa, hugging her school bag and hiding her face behind it. It was almost time for class, but Chen Zhiyu didn't want to let him go at all.
He showed half his face from behind his bag and asked in a small voice, "Mr. Chen, is what you want to say to me difficult?"
Chen Zhiyu gave him a look and nodded his head.
Xia Qingshu asked again, "If after saying it, the relationship between the two of us will change subtly?"
This little fool was finally getting the hang of it?
Chen Zhiyu gave a light-hearted "hmm" and looked up at him.
"Mr. Chen, then you should stop talking." Xia Qing Shu pursed his lips and said in a small voice, "My mother said if you leave a line in the sand, you'll be able to meet each other in the future."
Chapter 10
The news that Chen Zhiyu was coming to speak at the school was known to everyone.
As the youngest richest man in the country, he was even more famous than many top idols, not just because of his money, but also because of his face.
At the top of the wealthy business circle, there are either men who are on the older side, or brash-looking nouveau riche, or philandering young men. A man like Chen Zhiyu, handsome, single, with no bad habits and no scandals, is simply one in a million.
Chen Zhiyu almost keeps to himself, has few friends, and is a loner in whatever business he does, not having even a few business partners. Such a secretive man has fuelled the public's desire to know more about him.
His private life has always been the subject of much discussion. Many speculated that either he was having a good time and kept the news to himself, or that he had some hidden illness that was difficult to talk about. The most talked about was that his family had long ago arranged for him to marry the right person. After all, an upper-class man like him could not just find someone to marry. There is no true love under the capital, a strong union is the real deal.
The legend of Mr. Chen was everywhere.
Secretary Li pulled open the car door and Xia Qingshu was photographed the moment he got down from the car. With long limbs and a slender waist, Xia Qingshu's ear tips flushed red as he got out of the car. As if he had just woken up, he stretched out after standing firmly. He was as bright as the moon in the sky.
Dazzling, bright and beautiful.
Secretary Li looked at Xia Qingshu's retreating back and was dazed for a moment. He had followed his boss as soon as he graduated and had helped him deal with many peach blossoms in the wild. Some seemingly careless chance encounters were actually painstakingly planned, and he had seen all sorts of old-fashioned, novel and unique ways of attracting them. There were also wealthy ladies who offered up their entire family fortune just to show their sincerity.
However, the boss was rock solid at heart, ignoring all of this, and the more men and women he meets, the more he would be disgusted.
But, this Xia student, he had accompanied his boss to see him twice and had him investigated a few times in private.
After each meeting, the boss's face was not very good, but he'd still come to find him again.
Because of Xia Qing Shu, he even saw the immovable boss in a frantic mood for the first time in his life really.
Xia Qingshu walked away happy and bouncy, he could already feel the low pressure of his boss outside the car. In his mind, he was beyond sure that this boss was angry and would come back next time.
～
Xia Qing Shu carried his school bag and trotted into the third school building.
At the corner of the first floor, He Chen was leaning against the balcony of the veranda, sunbathing, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand and taking a sip every now and then.
When he saw Xia Qing Shu, he snorted coldly, "Pestering Chen Zhi Yu again."
The word "again" was very impressive.
Xia Qingshu only gave He Chen a faint look, not stopping, not even pausing briefly, as if he was looking at a passer-by.
He Chen was a little embarrassed and forgot to even say his prepared mocking words.
The feeling Xia Qing Shu gave him was too strange.
He doesn't know when Xia Qing Shu had changed. All the fancy clothes he used to wear were gone, his speech was illogical and choking but he almost seemed to look like a normal person.
The biggest change was in his eyes.
Crystal, bright, pure.
Xia Qing Shu glanced at him carelessly, the end of his eyes hooked up, the small mole under his eyes seemed like a seed that fell straight to the bottom of his heart.

He Chen unexpectedly felt a hint of panic.
"Xia Qing Shu, you, you're deaf, I'm talking to you!" A little annoyed, He Chen stepped forward and pulled the strap of his school bag.
Xia Qing Shu looked at him suspiciously and took off his Bluetooth headset, "You were just talking to me?"
"Nonsense, there's only the two of us here, am I talking to a ghost!" He Chen growled.
Xia Qing Shu took two steps back, a little disgusted.
"What are you hiding from?!" He Chen's brow furrowed.
"Drool." Xia Qing Shu pointed to the almost invisible watermark on the ground and whispered, "When you just spoke loudly, your saliva almost sprayed on me."
He Chen's face turned from green to purple, from purple to red, like a large neon sign.
Xia Qing Shu: "What were you going to say?"
"You're going to pester Brother Zhiyu again?!"
He Chen's voice was still loud, but the sarcastic words lost their gravitas after a few more times.
Xia Qingshu responded indifferently, "No, he's the one who came looking for me."
He Chen sneered, "And you lie again."
That demeanor, that tone of voice, it was simply certainty.
How could Brother Zhiyu take the initiative to let him get into the car? Even if Brother Zhiyu liked a cat or dog on the roadside, there was no way he would like him.
Xia Qing Shu looked at He Chen.
He Chen should be about his age, with thick eyebrows and a peaked nose, so he was naturally a good-looking man. With a wealthy family and well-dressed, he was the kind of schoolboy who had a high turnout.
Xia Qing Shu withdrew his eyes, "I'm leaving if there's nothing else."
"Something's wrong!" He Chen had never been treated so coldly before, and his tone was a little unkind.
Xia Qing Shu nodded at him, signalling him to speak quickly.
He Chen held back, "I want you to publicly apologise to Brother Yu Bin."
Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian ate Xia Qing Shu's peanuts and got their fingers stuck. The story of the throat, vomiting and stomach wash soon spread across campus, when the police and ambulance came, and although the Zhou family suppressed the news, the drama club students all saw it. Now, Xia Yubin's popularity is very bad, that post of choosing the school grass, all the students who had previously chosen Xia Yubin, changed their votes and stepped back.
Brother Yubin has been very distressed lately, and his voice is sickly inside the phone. He didn't even know that it was Zhou Qian who stole the peanuts, and he was considered a victim.
He wanted Xia Qing Shu to re-post a post on the forum, simply stating that Xia Yubin eating the peanuts was shared by Xia Qing Shu of his own accord, and not stolen by Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian. Hopefully this would ease Brother Yu Bin's worries.
Xia Qing Shu's mouth curled up after hearing his suggestion, "The milk tea you drank, was it full of Buddha beads?"
Xia Qingshu said no. He was no saintly mother, condescending to himself to make others whole.

When He Chen looked at the pearl milk tea in his hand, he felt weird and casually threw it into the trash.
"You help out Brother Yu Bin, Brother Yu Bin has been having a bit of a hard time lately, he's had a lot going on at home. Besides, they were just being naughty and only took a packet of peanuts from you, you didn't lose a bit." He Chen looked like he had made a huge determination, "If you help him, I promise you a request."
After saying that, he blocked the middle of the road and refused to move out of the way.
Xia Qing Shu grumbled and took out a packet from his school bag and threw it over.
"What is it?" He Chen took the pocket and frowned when he saw what was inside.
The packet contained a condom and stained underwear.
"This is what Zhou Qian put in my school bag." Xia Qing Shu asked rhetorically, "Is this naughty?"
Anyone familiar with Zhou Qian knew how he acted, indicating that he had taken a liking to Xia Qing Shu and it was only a matter of time before he fucked him. This was no longer school bullying, this was molesting a fellow student.
He Chen's face instantly turned red.
"...... I'll promise you three more things." He Chen said, "You help Brother Yu Bin, he should have been deceived by Zhou Qian. Brother Yu Bin is very nice, there is no way he would do such a thing, you just need to take Brother Yu Bin out of the picture."
"Alright." Xia Qing Shu took out his phone, "Campus forum posting, right?"
He Chen's eyes lit up for a moment and he nodded his head.
Xia Qing Shu opened the school forum.
The "poisoned peanuts" incident opened a thread with thousands of floors of discussion, followed by the word "fire" in red.
The post briefly rehashed the events of that day, and most of the comments that followed were scolding Zhou Qian. There were also those who scolded Xia Yubin, but there were also those who defended him, probably saying that Xia Yubin did not participate in bullying Xia Qing Shu, that he was innocent and that he was forced to eat peanuts by Zhou Qian. There were also some who were simply mocking and sarcastic about the duo and actually planted themselves in Xia Qing Shu's hands.
Xia Qing Shu finished posting, and also accompanied by a scissor hand selfie, "I can go now, right?"
He Chen gave him a look.
Xia Qing Shu's entire body stood in the sunlight, shrouded in a light golden glow, his fair skin looked like a veil, as if he was a little prince walking out of a portrait.
He had only just realised that Xia Qingshu was so good-looking. No wonder the school flower selection scored ah.
He clenched his fist with one hand and coughed lightly at his mouth, "That, you can ask to go to the amusement park with me." At Xia Qing Shu's shocked expression, he hurriedly explained, "It's not a date, it's just going to have fun together."
Xia Qing Shu let out an "Oh", "No, I don't like going to amusement parks."
After saying that, he carried his school bag and wanted to leave again. He Chen got anxious and stepped in front of him with a flash of his body, "You, you've asked me to go to the amusement park several times before."
"Didn't you used to be annoyed with me pestering you?" Xia Qing Shu cocked his head, puzzled, "And still not used to it now that I'm not pestering."
He crossed his body sideways and muttered to himself, "It's the first time I've encountered someone forcing themselves to be pestered, how strange."
He Chen's face turned scarlet with anger as he took out his phone and tapped on the post Xia Qing Shu had made –

#Be resourceful in protecting yourself when you encounter school bullying#
There was nothing wrong with this post, although it didn't name names, it did confirm the bullying behaviour of Xia Yubin and Zhou Qian.
The replies were all in the same vein with the words "protect your wife" and cursing the bully. Because the forum is anonymous, many of the words are unpleasant.
In the previous post, there were people who spoke for Xia Yubin, but in this post, it was all about him. He Chen angrily closed his phone and walked quickly towards the classroom.
~
Chen Zhiyu's speech was at ten o'clock, after the second period. His speech was mainly aimed at students in their third and fourth years, preparing for employment and standing up for his own company by the way.
Xia Yubin, as the student representative, would be following Chen Zhiyu throughout.
After the "tainted peanuts" incident, he didn't want to come to school, at least not until the storm had passed. However, this is the best opportunity to get close to Chen Zhiyu. He hadn't played well the last time he saw Chen Zhiyu, so he had to hold his ground this time.
As he set up on the auditorium, he heard people whispering.
"He's the student representative? How can he be the student representative when he's so badly behaved?"
"The teacher likes him. I've seen him eating with teachers in private a few times."
"Oh, so he went through the backdoor."
"......"
Xia Yubin turned around and saw a few of the usual average achievers moving boxes, seeing him looking over, giving him a fake smile and continuing with the task at hand.
Xia Yubin remembered the faces of these few people and turned to walk away.
These people were lemon spirits, jealous that the teacher liked him and that he did well in his studies. If they saw Chen Zhiyu bending over backwards to him in the future, wouldn't they be sour.
Xia Yubin didn't care much and took the list to set up the venue. It was almost finished when the teacher from the teaching office came over to inspect it.
"Xia Yubin, come here for a moment." The teacher from the teaching office, surnamed Zhang, also held the position of assistant headmaster and was usually very close to him.
"Teacher Zhang, I'm all set up here." Xia Yubin handed over the list, smiling warmly.
There was a hint of gravity in Mr. Zhang's expression as he pulled Xia Yubin to the corner of the curtain, deliberating for a moment before saying, "It's hard work for you, I've reserved a seat for you, you can sit in the first row and listen to the lecture."
Xia Yubin had an unsettling feeling in her heart, "Teacher Zhang, didn't we agree that I would follow Mr. Chen throughout?"
Teacher Zhang: "The 'poisoned peanuts' incident, the students reacted greatly, after the leaders deliberated, in order to appease the students, they decided to let student Xia Qing Shu follow Mr. Chen."
Xia Yubin argued, "Teacher Zhang, I didn't bully him, it was Zhou Qian ......"
Teacher Zhang interrupted him, "Xia Yubin, I know you're not that kind of person, you were also dragged into this by Zhou Qian, this is the leader's decision, I can't do anything about it."

Because Xia Qing Shu reported to the police,and alarmed the senior leadership of the school, almost making the social news, there were reporters who wanted to come over for interviews, and there was a lot of emotion among the students. The school made this decision in order to calm down the matter and appease the victims. Moreover, Xia Qing Shu has also been doing very well recently, and the lecturer has changed his evaluation greatly, which is also considered an incentive for the latter students.
When Mr. Zhang finished, he lifted the curtain and pointed to the first row right in the middle, "Later on, you can sit there and see very clearly."
After he finished, Mr. Zhang gave Xia Yubin two pats on the back and walked away quickly.
Xia Yubin stood in place, his hand clenched into a fist, his nails pinching into his flesh. The students who had just talked about him behind his back gathered together again, chattering about something.
He could faintly hear words like "deserved" and "good job".
At that moment, the phone rang and Xia Yubin picked it up. The call was from Zhou Qian, who had seen Xia Qing Shu's new post and was furious.
Zhou Qian ranted on the other side of the phone, Xia Yubin took a deep breath, smiled and advised, "Don't be angry, he is just a fool, you do a cleaner job this time ...... If he doesn't listen, beat him until he gives in, won't it be more enjoyable when you fuck him ...... Even if he's tied up, he'll feel it, he'll cry, he'll scream, he'll beg for mercy ......"
"As long as there's no substantial evidence, a fool's word isn't really that credible, you could say, he sold himself to you......"

Xia Qing Shu was in class, the section was the language Arabic, which he liked a lot.
Halfway through the class, an out-of-class student came to the classroom door looking for him, saying that he was needed as a volunteer for a presentation in the school auditorium.
Xia Qing Shu found it strange that he was needed, why not go to the strong sports students, but he went along anyway.
"Xia Qingshu, you are so lucky, Chen Zhiyu is coming to the school to give a speech and the teacher has asked you to be the student representative." The classmate led him forward with envy in his eyes.
"Is that so?" Xia Qingshu slowly followed behind, secretly thinking to himself.
Wasn't the student representative Xia Yubin? How come it had changed to him? Wasn't this was the key episode where Chen Zhiyu and Xia Yubin's feelings collided and sparked?
The two walked slowly, one in front of the other.
Xia Qing Shu was not familiar with the campus, having gotten lost last time, but he still knew the location of the school auditorium.
This classmate was leading him further and further off in the direction of the sports warehouse, it seemed.
"This student, aren't you going the wrong way?" Xia Qing Shu stood still, refusing to move forward.
"No, this is the place."
From the corner stood two boys, one of whom was Zhou Qian.
Xia Qing Shu looked up and found himself standing under the surveillance and the boys were in the blindspot of the surveillance.
It seemed to be premeditated.
Xia Qing Shu stood still, timidly exclaiming, "Don't hit me!"
On the other side of the auditorium, Xia Yubin was still standing behind the curtain and did not depart. As if he was very sure that the newly replaced student representative, wouldn't come.
