Arc 1.6
'whitewashing the egoistic youth'
After being discharged from the hospital, Wen Shu received an earful of scolding from his butler, it lasted quite a few hours. Saying that he shouldn't be so willful and also overestimating his capabilities, feeling like a superhero and stuffs.
During those times, he chose to have a talk with system secretly while pretending to listen on uncle Mo's scolding.
[Host I will be unavailable for a day. There's a meeting with the admins]
'huh, what happened?'
[ System doesn't know host. Also, please be vigilant while I'm gone host]
'youre talking like I'm not careful while doing this mission'
[ Host sometimes—wait no, you are 'always' naive about your surroundings ]
' you, just what kind of system are you, you're so mean'
[... Bye host]
His lips formed a thin line with his systems reply. That brat! Just gone so suddenly. While sitting inside the car Wen Shu silently stared outside the window, observing the passing buildings with uncle Mo's nagging as the background music.
He couldn't help but bitterly cry. Shouldn't he be treated as a hero since he saved the boy? And yet why is his situation like this.
"Anyways, young master please refrain from doing strenuous activity for two days. The doctor said that your body is overfatigued" uncle Mo once again reminded him for the nth time. He just nodded and continued to stare outside.
After arriving at the mansion, he was immediately greeted by the maids and other personnel's of the house. Asking him about his condition. He patiently answered them all and after reassuring them that everything is fine he headed towards his room and asked a maid to bring his lunch in his room.
After recieving the tray of food, he placed it on the study table and quietly ate while facing his laptop. His lips curved up when he saw the amount inside his account.
Of course he's not someone who have so much greed for money. Just an average amount of cash enough to support his everyday life can make him content. But of course who doesn't want to have a large amount of money, add the fact that it all originated with a small amount of money from the originals allowance.
His chest full of pride, he logged off from the site and reached the glass of water beside him.
[Ding! Villains current reputation: 67!]
Wen Shu spitted out the water that was just reaching his esophagus in an unsightly manner with the sudden notice. He coughed while holding the table for support.
Heck, why does this have to happen all the time. Black lines covered his face while patting his chest. Fuck, he can feel in the near future this will be one to be the cause of his death.
Ah where did this sudden raise of reputation came from. As long as he remembered, the last good deed he did was saving the female leads little brother. So what was the cause of the sudden raise of his reputation.
After coming up with no sensible reason, he decided to give up. Well who cares anyway, he's the one who have benefited from it so meh. He just shrugged his shoulders and continued with his business.
he spent his entire day inside his room, either facing his laptop or reading in the library. Nothing pretty much happened, and it was considered as one of his most boring days in here.
Also add the fact that there are five maids assisting him anywhere he goes plus his butler. He was treated like a glass that could beak with just a single touch.
Even a few sweats that occurred in his forehead was immediately wiped by a maid lest he got a cold while the other was constantly fanning him. He couldn't help but sweat drop. Since he also couldn't shake them off, he decided to just let them be.
And so hours passed until the sky was finally dark and he could finally have his alone time.
"Yes, young master good night" uncle Mo closed the door in his room as he sat quietly on the large bed. When he was sure that the butler was nowhere in sight he hurriedly got up and walked towards the closet.
Earlier his butler confiscated a the gadgets inside his room saying that he can't stay up late or his body state will worsen.
But of course, what kind of person is Li Han? He's the kind whose sleeping time is 12-1 am. He silently retrieved his hidden laptop under the pile of clothes and excitedly opened up his account.
He's planning on watching some interesting movies and other stuffs. While in the middle of watching, a sudden ding sounded. He looked at the system screen beside him. There was no notice and stuff, so he looked at the laptop screen in front of him. When he clicked notification he was shocked when he saw what was inside it
|You have a new notification! Yo Sun sent you a friend request. Accept or Deny?|
Eh. He blinked a few times before deciding to accept. Well it won't hurt him if he accepted it. As soon as he clicked accept, a notice from messages emerged.
Yo Sun: you're still not sleeping?
Wen Shu: I can't sleep. I'm already used to staying up late.
Yo Sun: . . .
Yo Sun: you should sleep, it's already late. The doctor said that you're not allowed to stress your body.
Wen Shu: you, you just said the same thing as what uncle Mo said. My body is perfectly fine ಠಗಠ
Yo Sun's lips tilted into a small smile when he saw the message of Wen Shu. He can already imagine the pouting face of Wen Shu. Ah how cute.
Yo Sun: sleep.
Wen Shu: hmp I won't talk to you anymore.
With a pout on Wen Shu's face he typed his reply. How come that even the male lead decided to scold him. Ah he really can't take this kind of treatment anymore. They're treating him like he has some kind of incurable disease.
Yo Sun: I'll visit you tomorrow and bring you some meat buns from my aunties bun shop. So sleep.
Wen Shu's eyes glistened when he saw the word bun shop. Ah meat buns, steamed buns, everything buns. He typed fast to reply.
Wen Shu: deal, don't forget your promise. Goodnight.
With that he logged off and carefully hid the laptop back into its original hiding space and excitedly went to sleep.
While on the other side Yo Sun couldn't help but chuckle. Just how much does this guy love meat buns. He replied goodnight and logged off. He stayed still for a few seconds before sighing heavily. Aggrieved, he went to the bathroom and solved his 'problem'. Ah he can't believe himself.
Even only texting with the boy, he already got half hard. Damn, he's getting really crazy. After solving his problem, he went to bed and entered his dream state. And there in his dream was the same boy who he just messaged earlier.
The next day Wen Shu woke up early and took a warm bath. After changing into a gray shirt and pants, he proceeded to the dining table and ate his breakfast. He was in a happy mood while eating, already imagining the glorious taste of meat buns.
"Oh right, uncle Mo, Yo Sun will visit me later. Let him proceed to the garden when he comes" he reminded his butler about Yo Sun's arrival.
"Yes, young master" Mo Heng bowed before taking his leave.
After eating the breakfast happily Wen Shu went to the garden and took a sit at the bench beside a tree.
[ Host I'm back! ]
'yes, so what happened to the meeting?'
[Err. . . .just some slight issues and stuffs. Host need not to worry]
Wen Shu's eyes narrowed slightly looking at the screen in front of him.
'are you sure?'
The system sweat dropped under his host's intense gaze. Ah so scary.
[ Yes yes. This system dare not to lie to you host ]
Wen Shu raised his eyebrows and decided not to force the system. He knows that there's something the system is not telling him. But since his system doesn't want to tell him, he'll just let it be. After conversing with the system, he stayed sitted on the bench and began to casually scroll to his social media.
He still needs a way to further increase his reputation. But in what way? He was on a dillema, thinking of different ways to to complete the mission.
Should I donate my blood, liver, kidney, heart, or other organs? Or should I act like a hero and save someone from dying? Nah it's not gonna be easy since there are people following his every move.
The system was speechless when he heard the thoughts running through his host's mind. Really, is his host still sane? This is the first time he met a host coming up with a dangerous scenarios just to increase reputation.
Normally, other host would choose from helping grandma's and stuffs, or cooking a lot of dishes and sharing it to other poor people. Majority of the hosts he encountered chose to act like a White lotus.
The plans his host made up just now are really extreme. Wonder if he had to prepare many healing pills in the future for his host.
While Wen Shu was still dazed watching the flower in front of him blankly, a maid approached by his side reporting the arrival of Yo Sun.
"Young master, a visitor arrived outside the gate named Yo Sun"
Wen Shu blinked before responding, "oh, escort him here, and also please bring some refreshments here"
The maid nodded before turning her back and entered the house again. A few maids arrived with a juice drink on the tray and left after placing it on the table.
After a few minutes, he saw a maid escorting a very familiar figure. Unconsciously, Wen Shu straightened his back and slightly arranged his posture resulting to a very elegant and arrogant demeanor.
When Yo Sun arrived at his current location, he motioned the other to sit. After Yo Sun took a seat Wen Shu grabbed the glass in front of him and stared at the guy in front of him.
He raised his brows and looked at him expectantly, "so? Where is it? Don't tell me you didn't bring it?"
Yo Sun's brows furrowed due to this action. He stared at Wen Shu questioningly.
"The meat buns. Where is it?" Wen Shu puffed his cheeks as he raised his chin high and crossed his arms.
"Oh, here I didn't forget" Yo Sun placed a food box on the stone table. Wen Shu nodded and reached for the food box.
The aroma of meat buns exploded in the air when the container was opened. He couldn't help but gulp continuously with his eyes glued inside the box.
Yo Sun just stared amusedly at the boy in front of him and casually lifted the glass of juice and took a sip on it.
"Anyway, how's your condition now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Yo Sun asked as he continued drinking small sips at the lemon juice on his hand.
Wen Shu took a piece of meat bun and took a bite out of it before answering, "everything is fine, I'm healthy as I've ever been, I can even feel like I can run a marathon"
"Run a marathon you say?" Yo Sun sneered and sized up his body with a look of 'run-a-marathon-with-this-weakly-body-its-impossible'
Wen Shu immediately flared up when he saw the look of the other, "what? You dare not to believe me? I'm really telling the truth!"
Yo Sun just snorted and didn't answer. Seeing that the youth was filed up easily, he decided to stay silent lest his body feel ill.
Wen Shu just 'humphed' and concentrated on eating the meat buns in the box. Silence took over the two, one was eating with full of concentration as if he doesn't care what was happening in the outside world, while the taller one on the opposite of the youth was silently sipping on the strawberry juice while gazing intently on the boy in front of him.
Coincidentally, a maid that was supposed to refill their juice stopped on her tracks when she saw this scene.
'ah?ah!ah!ah! What is this? Why is she seeing pink heart floating in the air of the two? Also, why is her heart beating madly?'
The maid grasped her chest and silently sweated under her breath. Both his young master and the visitor looked good as a pair. She can feel her mind slowly turning rotten. Ah now she knows the feelings of her colleagues talking about this rotten things. Secretly she took a picture of both his young master and the stranger. Instead of advancing, she decided on retreating lest he ruin the wonderful moment.
(Wen Shu and Yo sun who was oblivious that they were the cause for a normal girl to turn suddenly rotten: . . . )
