Don’t Try To Corrupt Me

Chapter 104

Sheng Yuan sat by the railing at the edge of the lake, enjoying the breeze as he watched several ducks swimming on the clear surface.

Feeling inspired by the tranquil scene, Truly Ambitious recited a poetic line.

[System: When the spring river warms, the ducks know it first.]

Sheng Yuan: “You can recite poetry too?”

[System: I’ve learned a lot.]

The little system was multi-talented.

In Sheng Yuan’s hand was the magazine he had just purchased. He hadn’t even had lunch and had rushed out of school all the way to the magazine store. Luckily, he had asked the owner to reserve it for him half a month in advance, ensuring he got his hands on the magazine.

International publications were not cheap, costing a few hundred yuan per issue. They were usually not this expensive, but this was a limited edition.

Yu Zoujin was on the third page, and the whole page dedicated to him. As soon as he got his hands on the magazine, he flipped through it to find Yu Zoujin. Yu Zoujin was dressed in distinctively tailored clothing, and combined with his own charisma, it creates a striking and innovative style.

Truly Ambitious shook its head as it watched.

[System: He is really handsome.]

After saying that, it felt a bit proud.

It had watched Yu Zoujin grow up.

From adolescence to adulthood, from seventeen to eighteen, a distant span of time.

Sheng Yuan went to the lake after purchasing the magazine.

[System: Why do you look at the ducks in the lake instead of reading the magazine? Are the ducks more attractive than your boyfriend?]

Sheng Yuan: “Maybe not before, but now who knows?”

He hadn’t eaten lunch yet, so now the ducks in the lake had a fatal attraction for him.

He opened his mouth, “Don’t the ducks in the lake look like roasted ducks?”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Are you a devil?

The news of Yu Zoujin becoming a fashion model spread throughout the school the same day, and there were countless posts about him on the forums.

After school in the evening, Sheng Yuan brought the magazine home and placed it on the coffee table. Sheng Chenggong opened it and looked through it two or three times.

“So, this brat went abroad to become a model?”

“Yes, it was a good shot.”

Sheng Chenggong had flipped to the page with Yu Zoujin. “It’s so so.”

Sheng Yuan woke up the next morning and didn’t find breakfast on the table. He blinked, feeling a bit confused. Feng Juan came out of the kitchen.

“We’re out of eggs here. Let’s eat breakfast at the shop today.”

Sheng Yuan responded and wanted to go to the living room to get the magazine, but there was nothing on the coffee table.

“Mom, where’s the magazine I brought back yesterday?”

“I don’t know. I didn’t touch it. It should be your dad who put it away.”

‘I see.’

Since he still had to go to school, Sheng Yuan didn’t bother to search for it. He carried his school bag and went to the noodle shop.

Most of the customers in the shop in the morning were office workers and students.

As soon as Sheng Yuan walked into the shop, he saw Sheng Chenggong enthusiastically discussing the magazine with a group of customers at a table.

They were all familiar faces, probably from the neighborhood.

The customers were looking at Sheng Chenggong in astonishment and they exclaimed, “So impressive! He went abroad to become a model!”

“He’s the one who used to live at your place, right?”

Sheng Chenggong: “Yes, that’s Yu Zoujin. He did well in the shoot. This kid has a great figure, his legs are even longer than mine. I am really fortunate in this life.”

“Can any model be featured in this magazine?”

“What do you mean any model? It’s a prestigious fashion magazine with international recognition. Only the best can make it!”

Sheng Chenggong proudly talked about Yu Zoujin’s page.

[System: This scene seems familiar.]

Sheng Yuan: “…”

He remembered that when the acceptance letter for the guaranteed admission came down, Sheng Chenggong was also in this state.

He had a mediocre reaction last night, but today he was all smiles when showing off to others. Last night, he had even deliberately searched online to learn about the fashion industry. He was genuinely proud of Yu Zoujin.

As long as their child was doing well, they, as parents would be content.

Of course, another person who was as proud as Sheng Chenggong was Teacher Li.

Teacher Li: “Take a look, take a look.”

He showed off the magazine his niece bought in the physics group.

On it was the rebel he taught.

Yu Zoujin could become the school flower back then all thanks to his support.

Upon learning that Sheng Yuan was looking at “ducks” yesterday, Yu Zoujin who was on a shoot decided to return to China, and the manager couldn’t stop him.

The manager asked tentatively, “Will you come back after going back?”

Yu Zoujin put on the sunglasses his assistant had given him.

The manager grabbed his collar and said, “You will come back, right?”

Yu Zoujin looked down at him.

Manager: “Say something, dammit!”

Yu Zoujin’s expression turned cold. If Sheng Yuan was really falling for someone else, he wouldn’t come back. He would stay in China and tie Sheng Yuan to his waist for the rest of their lives.

The manager wanted to cry but had no tears. He kept babbling in English in Yu Zoujin’s ear.

Who could understand family matters? It was hard to come across such an outstanding seed, but he was a big romantic seed at that.

Gulp, how can I live without you? Gulp.

Yu Zoujin had no work in the next few days so the manager let him go and planned to go to the church in the following days to pray, hoping that he would return.

After a ten hour flight, Yu Zoujin landed around noon on the next day. After disembarking, he went directly to No.1 Middle School without even dropping off his luggage.

This time, he would take back everything that belonged to him.

The manager reminded him to pay attention to his image, so Yu Zoujin wore a mask and sunglasses. After all, he came back secretly, resembling someone going to catch an adulterer at a hotel.

However, even if he covered up tightly, the security guard recognized him based on his figure alone.

It was too familiar, Yu Zoujin used to skip class for the past three years.

Back then, he was the most troublesome student in the whole school, and the headmaster couldn’t catch him no matter how hard he tried.

“Yu Zoujin!”

Yu Zoujin paused his long legs.

The security guard was friendly and looked him up and down, “You’re really different now, like a star. Are you here to take graduation photos?”

Today happened to be the day for the senior students to take graduation photos, and the school campus and playground were filled with the sound of shutters.

Yu Zoujin nodded.

“Sigh, you’re already graduating. I wish you all the best in the future.”

The security guard smiled and let him in.

Yu Zoujin first went to Class Six but didn’t find anyone there. Almost all the senior classes had gone to the playground to take photos. Yu Zoujin changed direction and went towards the playground. From a distance, he spotted Sheng Yuan’s figure.

But before he could approach, Sheng Yuan was called away by a junior high school student.

The uniform was not from the senior class; it should be a second or first year who sneaked out of class.

The two of them went behind the gymnasium, and Yu Zoujin followed closely, hiding behind the bushes.

The junior was so excited to have Sheng Yuan right in front of him that he became flustered.

Sheng Yuan was in a hurry, “What’s the matter?”

The junior blushed. The senior class was about to take the college entrance examination and graduate, so this was his last chance. He didn’t want to leave any regrets in his life. If he liked someone, he should boldly confess. Who knows, maybe the other person would agree!

The junior took out a love letter from his pocket and handed it over, saying loudly, “Senior Sheng, I like you. Please accept my confession!”

Sheng Yuan was dumbfounded, completely caught off guard by the reason the junior had called him over. Before he could refuse, a figure suddenly appeared from the nearby bushes.

The sudden figure startled the boy, causing him to quickly hide behind Sheng Yuan.

Truly Ambitious screamed in surprise.

[System: Fuck! Why is there a black bear in the school?!]

Sheng Yuan saw Yu Zoujin and stared with wide-eyes. He must be seeing things.

Yu Zoujin was furious. He emerged from the bushes with an imposing manner, and forcefully pushed the boy clinging to Sheng Yuan aside.

“After being with me for so long, you now like small dogs?!”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

What nonsense are you talking about?

The junior student was also dumbfounded.

What’s going on?

He looked at the tall figure that had suddenly appeared before him, carefully observing for a long while.

“You… you’re Yu Zoujin!”

He pointed at the two of them, his mouth wide open in astonishment. So… so they were the First Couple?!!

“I’m sorry! I disturbed you!”

The boy ran away with the love letter, disappearing from their sight in a matter of seconds.

So, the school grass already had someone.

Farewell, his love.

Yu Zoujin was hugging Sheng Yuan tightly, and Sheng Yuan asked, “Why did you come back?”

Yu Zoujin’s raging flames instantly subsided.

He asked in a hoarse voice, “Do you like someone else?”

“How is that possible?”

“Yesterday… ducks.”

A question mark slowly formed above Sheng Yuan’s head.

“Are you saying that because I didn’t take you to eat roast duck?”

Yu Zoujin: “…”

Hearing the mention of roast duck, his mood improved slightly.

Yu Zoujin lowered his mask, and Sheng Yuan pecked his mouth playfully, and Yu Zoujin was finally satisfied.

With Yu Zoujin’s return, Sheng Yuan felt like he had gained an accessory. The class still had to take graduation photos, so Sheng Yuan took Yu Zoujin to the playground.

The class teacher of Class Ten was startled when he saw Sheng Yuan return, and Qi Sheng burst into tears upon seeing him.

“Brother Yu!”

Ever since Yu Zoujin left, Qi Sheng had been living a miserable life. Sheng Yuan and his gang dragged him to study every day, and now he even felt like he had lost all his fighting skills.

He couldn’t bear to live like this another day.

The class teacher said, “Since you’re back, let’s take the graduation photo together. Your classmates have been waiting for you.”

Yu Zoujin joined the group and removed his mask and sunglasses to take the graduation photo with Class Ten, marking the end of his senior year.

Iron Head moved from one class to another, and after taking photos of Class Six and Class Seven, he was somewhat touched when he saw Yu Zoujin in Class Ten. He hadn’t expected Yu Zoujin to return on the day of the graduation photo.

“I didn’t guide you in vain. You need to be more mature when you enter society…”

Unconsciously, Iron Head started to ramble.

Yu Zoujin glanced at him and removed his cochlear implant.

Iron Head: “…”

You haven’t changed one bit, brat.

After the graduation photo was taken, Yu Zoujin went to find Sheng Yuan. However, from a distance, he saw Sheng Yuan surrounded by layers of classmates who wanted to take a photo with him.

“Brother Sheng! Let’s take a photo together.”

“Brother Sheng, I like you.”

“Sheng Yuan, I will definitely choose your school for postgraduate studies in the future!”

“Sheng Yuan, I like you too. I’m different from those girls—I’m a boy.”

“…”

“Get this little 0 out of here.”

Yu Zoujin stood with his arms crossed, watching from a short distance.

Jin Anzhu had just finished taking a photo with Sheng Yuan and rushed out from the crowd. When he saw Yu Zoujin’s angry face from afar, his eyes lit up.

It was the opportune moment to sell swords!

He silently moved closer to Yu Zoujin and casually said, “Brother Sheng is quite popular.”

If it weren’t for Yu Zoujin’s intervention at the police station, Brother Sheng’s kiss would have been his.

‘Yu Zoujin, you still owe me. You’ll never be able to repay it in this lifetime! Wuu!’

Yu Zoujin clenched his jawline and remained silent.

“All of them took photos with Sheng Yuan. Many confessed their feelings to him.”

Yu Zoujin: “It doesn’t matter.”

Jin Anzhu turned to look at him.

One second, two seconds…

“Take off your sunglasses.”

Yu Zoujin remained unmoved.

“I told you to take off your sunglasses.”

Yu Zoujin: “…”

Author’s note:

Behind the sunglasses, Yu Zoujin was consumed by jealousy.
