Don’t Try To Corrupt Me

Sorry guys, the last part of Chapter 46 was somehow cut off but here it is:

The two of them had such contrasting personalities that even a dog would avoid them.

Chu Weitian swallowed and asked, “What are you doing?”

Does he want to pick a fight for no reason this time?

Chu Weitian wasn’t the type to let others push him around, but he knew he couldn’t win against Yu Zuojin in a fight, so he refrained from acting recklessly.

Yu Zuojin turned around. Their heights differed by only two centimeters, and with shoes on, Chu Weitian was actually taller. However, Yu Zuojin still managed to give off a condescending look from above.

In a hoarse voice that resembled a demon dragging a sickle across his throat, he warned, “Stay away from him in the future.”

Chu Weitian stood frozen in place.

By “him,” he clearly understood it to be Sheng Yuan. He didn’t know why, but he subconsciously thought of him because of the brutal kick Yu Zuojin delivered on Shen Yuan’s behalf last time.

However, being warned like this left Chu Weitian feeling somewhat displeased. Although he couldn’t beat Yu Zuojin, he was still a big brother and cared about his reputation.

Tension filled the air in the changing room.

“What are you guys doing?”

A sudden voice came from behind.

They both turned around simultaneously and saw Sheng Yuan holding a neatly folded math test paper, looking at them curiously.

Why were they standing there without shirts on?

Yu Zuojin’s fierce gaze visibly softened, and Chu Weitian noticed the subtle change in his expression.

A question suddenly popped into Chu Weitian’s mind.

Why did Yu Zuojin listen to Sheng Yuan so obediently? It seemed like they had been spending a lot of time together ever since Sheng Yuan moved into Room 408. Today, when Sheng Yuan came for rehearsal, Yu Zuojin followed along. Yu Zuojin was never one to enjoy crowds.

At this moment, Yu Zuojin lacked the intimidating aura he had just displayed earlier. He turned back, ignoring Yu Zoujin and Sheng Yuan, and continued getting dressed.

Sheng Yuan walked over and handed him the math test paper, saying, “Remember to complete it when you go back.”

Yu Zuojin put on his clothes and took the test paper.

Yu Zuojin doing a math test?

It was something Chu Weitian could never have imagined.

Chu Weitian looked at the two of them. He still hadn’t released the anger that had built up after being threatened. Seizing the opportunity to gain an upper hand over Yu Zuojin, he deliberately complained in front of Sheng Yuan.

“He just threatened me.”

Sure enough, Yu Zuojin immediately looked over the next second. He turned his back to Shen Yuan, his gaze terrifying as he stared at Chu Weitian, his teeth clenched and his jaw tense, as if he was about to break his neck in the next second.

Chu Weitian had a backer now, so he fearlessly pointed at Yu Zuojin and complained, “Look, look, he’s glaring at me.”

Resembling a blooming white lotus flower, he whined pitifully.

Shen Yuan leaned over to take a look.

Yu Zuojin had an expressionless face, his eyes showing calmness and innocence.

Sheng Yuan knew that Yu Zuojin wouldn’t provoke others unless provoked first.

He looked at Chu Weitian and asked, “Did you provoke him?”

“On my honor!” Chu Weitian raised three fingers. “I, Chu Weitian, swear to the heavens that I didn’t provoke him. He threatened me for no reason, and when I exposed him, he glared at me. If I’m lying, I’m a dog.”

His appearance did seem sincere.

Sheng Yuan asked, “Are you really that honest?”

Chu Weitian boasted, “I have an unwavering honesty.”

He glanced at Yu Zuojin as he spoke, although the latter appeared calm on the surface, Chu Weitian knew he was seething with anger.

But now there was nothing Yu Zuojin could do about it.

Yu Zuojin met Sheng Yuan’s gaze and shook his head silently, as if he had never done such a thing before. This was the first time Chu Weitian had witnessed Yu Zuojin backing down.

“He’s pretending. He threatened me right after I took off my shirt just now. Don’t you dare say you didn’t say anything,” Chu Weitian persisted, holding onto Yu Zuojin’s weakness.

With a cold voice and an eerie yet steady tone, Yu Zuojin replied, “I’m shy and don’t like to talk.”

Chu Weitian: “…”

Brother Shen: What are you doing?

Boss Yu: I’m innocent.

Chapter 47

Every word he uttered seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, hoarse and harsh.

Yu Zuojin’s deep and terrifying gaze landed on his face and then shifted to his legs.

Chu Weitian: “…”

Threat, a blatant and naked threat.

If the other party kicked him again, he would be limping for another week.

Chu Weitian shut his mouth with resentment, his eyes shifting and he haphazardly putting on his clothes.

“Perhaps I just had auditory hallucinations earlier.” He deliberately pointed to his ear with his finger. “My ears haven’t been working well lately.”

Sheng Yuan: “Were you bullied by your ears as well?”

Chu Weitian: “…”

After the staircases bullying him, he was now bullied by his own ears!

Chu Weitian glanced at Yu Zuojin. The culprit was the same person!

After changing his clothes, Chu Weitian slipped away. Ever since he was assigned to the Literary Arts Department for the drama club, nothing good had happened.

The dress was so tight It was suffocating, squeezing his chest and causing pain. People even mocked him as coquettish. The dignity he had as a former leader had fallen to such a state.

Yu Zuojin’s hand, which was tightly held under his clothes, loosened, and he put on his clothes, reverting to his usual indifferent demeanor.

Sheng Yuan stood behind him. “Bully him less if you’re fine.”

In Sheng Yuan’s eyes, Chu Weitian was just like most delinquents. With a little guidance, he could still become a normal person. Judging from his attitude towards the headmaster, he was obedient to elders at times.

He had a conscience, but not much of it.

He also had guts, he didn’t resort to those low tricks. Winning meant winning, losing meant losing.

Yu Zuojin’s mouth flattened as he looked at the empty cabinet, his face filled with displeasure.

“Okay.”

Delinquent points increased by twenty.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

You should listen to what you’re saying.

Delinquent points were as good as a human lie detector, they were more intuitive than an electrocardiogram.

Yu Zuojin closed the cabinet with a bang. He placed the key in the small box by the door where keys were kept, and walked away confidently.

His emotions didn’t dissipate even when he went to work at the barbecue restaurant in the evening.

The old man watched Yu Zuojin wash dishes with a loud clatter, and the whole sink shook with his astonishing strength.

Being naturally tall, he had to bend down while washing dishes to avoid hitting the overhead cabinet where miscellaneous items were stored. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt in late autumn, making the muscle lines on his arms more prominent.

Since the first day he met Yu Zuojin, the old man knew he was a problematic child in the eyes of ordinary people. And indeed, he was. Yu Zuojin had a gloomy and bad-tempered personality, and he would often get into fights. But in terms of emotional outbursts, the old man hadn’t seen many instances.

To be precise, there were only three or four occasions, all of which happened in these past few days.

In these few days, his temper had grown bigger each time.

Sheng Yuan prevented him from fighting, so apart from washing dishes and peeling potatoes, he had no other outlet for his frustrations.

The old man knew this couldn’t continue, so he walked over to try and talk to him.

“Little Yu, is there something bothering you?”

Yu Zuojin didn’t say a word, but his hand holding the plate stopped.

He was angry again.

Yu Zuojin was not someone who easily became emotionally charged; he maintained an indifferent attitude towards everything and everyone. However, an unknown anger had repeatedly ignited within him. And when he realized it had subsided, a gust of wind would reignite it invisibly within his chest.

His eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

He did not have feelings for Sheng Yuan, so there was no need for him to get angry. It had nothing to do with him who Sheng Yuan acted with, danced with, or kissed.

It was just possessiveness at work.

—–

In the evening, Sheng Yuan came to pick him up, but there was hardly any communication between them. It was only Sheng Yuan talking to himself.

His relaxed voice, carried by the autumn wind, entered Yu Zuojin’s ears.

“The school’s north gate has a new 24-hour milk tea shop. After the school celebration, I’ll take you there.”

In the following days, Yu Zuojin went to the dance studio on the fifth floor of the art building as usual during lunchtime to revise and rehearse. Sheng Yuan had more scenes, so the time they spent interacting at lunch was greatly reduced compared to before.

Yu Zuojin didn’t mind, but he always left with a sour face. When he was with Chu Weitian, who wore dresses, they could be considered the sour-faced duo of the play “Invincible Love.”

Even a ghost wouldn’t have as much resentment as these two.

Tomorrow was the school anniversary, and the students of the No.1 Middle School were already excited. With the usual academic pressures to catch up on, they wanted to have a good time during the celebration.

After the dragon’s scenes were finished, Wang Xiaoming looked at the script and said, “Next, we’ll rehearse the final scene between the prince and the princess. The prince wakes up the princess, and they live happily ever after!”

The evil dragon that was intending to leave the dance studio to change clothes stumbled and got stuck halfway through the half-opened door, unable to move.

Yu Zuojin: “…”

Wang Xiaoming held his head in his hands and screamed “Boss Yu!!!!”

“Don’t worry Boss Yu! Let me come!”

He rushed over and started the rescue operation. The doors were all pulled open, allowing Yu Zuojin to move freely.

He looked at the marble-patterned floor of the corridor, his hands clenching within his cartoon suit.

Who Sheng Yuan kissed awake had nothing to do with him.

Without turning back, he strode out of the dance studio.

On the other side, Sheng Yuan stood beside Chu Weitian, stooped down, and deliberated for a long time and made a final struggle, “Are you sure about this script?”

Wang Xiaoming held his handkerchief tightly, “Brother Sheng, it’s all my fault. I couldn’t come up with a better ending after thinking for so long.”

Sheng Yuan glanced at the sturdy and robust Princess Chu Weitian. It was definitely not appropriate to kiss him.

If he did, he and Chu Weitian would never be able to look at each other again in this lifetime.

Chu Weitian also looked as frustrated as a trapped dog. ‘Damn it, this was supposed to be my first kiss.’

Although both of them appeared casual and carefree on the surface, they were both inexperienced in this matter.

However, they both had the ability to pretend.

To avoid wasting time, they followed the motions without going into the details. As for the scene of waking up with a kiss, it depended on whether they could summon the courage on stage.

Another day passed, and the day of the No.1 Middle School’s anniversary arrived quickly. Yesterday, when they left school, the entrance gate was as usual. But this morning, twenty meters above the school gate, large colorful balloons were suspended, carrying banners celebrating the anniversary.

When the freshmen first entered the school, they received the same treatment.

There were no heavy academic tasks or evening self-study sessions today. Sheng Yuan didn’t bring his school bag when he came to school this time. Class 6 was busy organizing props in the classroom, bustling with activity.

The grade-level performance was scheduled for the afternoon, just before the end of school. The class performances would take place in the morning.

Before they went to the auditorium, which was the venue for the school anniversary performance, they all rushed to the restroom to change their clothes.

There was a backstage in the auditorium, but they couldn’t contain their excitement and went along with the crowd to the performance venue after changing.

When the notification came for Class 6 to go to the backstage area, they walked to the side of the stage. After another class finished their performance, the host prompted Class 6, and Sheng Yuan and the female classmate playing Judy went up to start the show.

Qi Sheng leaned against the back wall of the auditorium, with Yu Zuojin standing beside him, arms crossed, watching the stage.

His gaze was like that of a hunting jackal in the forest, but he seemed uninterested.

Qi Sheng couldn’t understand why he came. In his impression, Yu Zuojin was never someone who liked to join in the fun. He even found it annoying and disliked having too much noise around him. But as a little brother, he still followed his big brother over here.

The host was a broadcasting major student, and he spoke clearly and fluently. “Next, we have Class 6 from the third year performing a musical, ‘Zootopia.’”

The stage lights focused on the large red curtain, which was quickly lifted in sync with the lights, revealing a slender and dazzling figure.

With handsome features and an outstanding figure, he wore a pair of furry orange ears on his head, and his shirt outlined his perfect physique.

The female classmate playing Judy walked out and pointed at him with a carrot pen. “Fox Nick, you’re under arrest.”

Sheng Yuan bent down to look at her, rolling his eyes lazily. “Why? Did I break your little heart?”

The lively music began playing as the lyrics fell, and the large red curtain was completely lifted. Everyone in Class 6 raised their heads collectively, and the musical officially started.

The audience erupted in excitement as soon as Sheng Yuan appeared on stage.

“Brother Sheng!!!!!!!!”

“Sheng Yuan! I love you!!”

“Brother Sheng, my heart will forever bloom for you!!!!”

“Sheng Yuan! Sheng Yuan!! I love you so much!!”

His popularity was extraordinary. From the moment Sheng Yuan appeared, Yu Zuojin’s eyes seemed glued to him, never leaving his side.

When Sheng Yuan changed positions with the music and disappeared from the stage, only to reappear in a police uniform with a face as enchanting as peach blossoms, he was truly a breathtaking sight.

“Clever rabbit.”

“Stupid fox.”

“You know you love me.”

“Do I? Well, I do know.”

The curtain fell on Class 6’s musical.

The results were even more successful than they had imagined, and backstage was filled with cheers from Class 6.

The audience seemed to be boiling with bubbly water, and Qi Sheng was speechless: “Brother Yu, that kid Sheng Yuan did a pretty good job.”

Yu Zuojin replied nonchalantly, “Average.”

He slid his finger and saved the picture of Sheng Yuan’s Fox Nick character from the school forum post.

Qi Sheng: “…”

Yu Zuojin stared at the photo, repeatedly telling himself it was just average. But his finger didn’t stop saving more pictures.

His heart was beating violently, as if a drum was pounding beneath his chest, each beat resounding in his ears.

Two voices clashed in his mind, each holding their ground, while his mouth kept spewing words.

Yu Zuojin stared at the photos on his phone, one after another, again and again.

Sheng Yuan’s dazzling face appeared even more handsome and radiant under the lights. His features were three-dimensional, clean, and bright, exuding the vigor of youth. His infectious smile was brilliantly captivating.

Yu Zuojin licked his dry lower lip, pressing his finger on the screen to keep it from dimming.

Sheng Yuan’s gaze in the photos struck directly at his heart and mind.

He was truly handsome, so good-looking that one couldn’t look away.

Handsome and cute.

Yu Zuojin was becoming increasingly irritated.

He didn’t like him, damn it! Even if Sheng Yuan had good looks and a good personality, he didn’t like him.

Yu Zuojin exited the forum and opened his photo album, intending to delete all the saved pictures.

He looked at Sheng Yuan’s photos, then his slender fingers slid across the screen.

He tapped the bottom-right corner.

Profile picture set successfully.

Inner thoughts of Yu Zoujin: Damn it, why is he so good-looking? (crazy)

I don’t like him (Closes the cabinet door). He seduced me. Who allowed him to look so good!!!

Yu Zoujin, speaking aloud: I don’t like men.
