Don’t Try To Corrupt Me

Chapter 61

Yu Zoujin stared at Sheng Yuan nervously. Although his face remained expressionless for years, he unconsciously held his breath.

Sheng Yuan held the red pouch in his hand, with a half-finished strawberry embroidered on it, indicating a pause in the construction.

Unexpectedly, Yu Zuojin knitted it for him.

Regarding this matter, his perception was quite wrong. Yu Zoujin didn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing, but actually, he had a gentle heart despite his fierce appearance.

He casually mentioned that his hands were cold, and the other party took note. The next day, there was something being woven in the dormitory.

Sheng Yuan held the red gloves. “I thought you were only good at fighting.”

He slipped the pouch onto his hand, raised his head, and smiled brightly.

“I didn’t expect you to be good at crafting too.”

His eyes curved, carrying a delightful and captivating smile. The beautiful eyes were already enchanting, but when he smiled, they became even brighter.

Yu Zoujin’s expression visibly relaxed as he gazed at him, his eyes fixed on the red gloves in his hands.

He had agreed.

His Adam’s apple rolled, displaying an obvious swallowing motion. The tip of his crimson tongue lightly moistened his lips.

His gaze changed as well.

It was like a wild beast discovering its prey trapped in a dark pit.

He was his now.

Sheng Yuan had accepted him.

Afterward, everything he did was reasonable. As he looked at the person before him, whose smile was so captivating, he wanted to embrace them and sleep together on his single bed.

During his high school years, from freshman to senior, he had complained that the bed was too small several times, that it was not long or wide enough, and felt uncomfortable to sleep in. But now, he felt it was just right.

It was just long enough, just wide enough, and he couldn’t fit anyone else on it. It was just perfect, without any discomfort.

If he didn’t move, he would just hold him.

He would just embrace him and do nothing more.

Yu Zoujin’s inner voice continued one after another.

Sheng Yuan raised his head and saw Yu Zoujin’s flushed face and eyes filled with hidden waves.

Those pitch-black eyes were far from calm.

They looked at him sincerely and cautiously.

It was as if he were a delicate plant in a greenhouse that needed careful nurturing. If he became unhappy, the researchers would cry and scream.

There was a moment of confusion in his beautiful eyes, and his thumb curled up, rubbing the cotton thread.

There was a strawberry embroidered on it, his favorite.

While Yu Zoujin was still lost in his thoughts, his shoulder suddenly sank, and he leaned to the side along with the force.

Sheng Yuan’s arm wrapped around Yu Zoujin’s shoulder, and his smile was bright.

“Gege also likes you.”

Yu Zoujin: “…”

Looking at the open and sincere face, devoid of any distractions, Yu Zoujin felt momentarily hollow and numb.

The other person didn’t understand his intentions.

The disparity in understanding grew infinitely larger in his heart.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.

But in the next moment, Sheng Yuan, with his left hand wearing the red gloves, whispered in his ear, “I really like you.”

Yu Zoujin’s face turned red, and he turned his head away. “Whatever.”

He pretended not to care.

Sheng Yuan’s heart was also in turmoil.

The glove on his left hand kept his palm warm.

He felt a momentary heart palpitation.

So, this was what a deep brotherly affection felt like.

The dormitory fell into a deadlock. Sheng Yuan said, “I didn’t go last time, but tonight, I’ll take you to have candied hawthorn.”

He released Yu Zoujin, and said, “It’s settled then.”

Lunch break was not over yet, but he opened the door and left room 408, with the red glove still hanging on his hand.

Sheng Yuan went straight back to the classroom. The winter wind outside was fierce, but warm air greeted him as he entered the teaching building.

There were only two or three students in Class 6, and even if it were pouring rain outside, there would still be a few show-offs playing basketball on the court.

The age of youth was like a colorful feathered eagle that couldn’t be confined.

Sheng Yuan took off the glove and placed it on the desk, examining it closely. Then he took out his workbook and started doing exercises.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the classroom door.

“Here! I’m returning the books.”

It was a dog’s voice.

Sheng Yuan looked up and saw Chǔ Wèitiān.

He didn’t mishear; it was indeed a dog.

Chu Weitian read the meaning in his eyes. “Hey! What kind of look is that? Look at me again and see what happens!”

Sheng Yuan put down his pen and really looked at him again.

Chu Weitian: “…”

He put the books he was returning to the Class 6 shelf on the podium and strode toward Sheng Yuan.

Whenever they were together, it was like a bomb about to explode.

Just as Chu Weitian was about to display his eloquence, he noticed something on Sheng Yuan’s desk.

“Why do you have a pouch on your desk?”

It looked messy, with crisscrossing lines.

Sheng Yuan furrowed his brows. “That’s a glove.”

A glove?

Are you cheating ghosts?

Chu Weitian picked it up. “This is not a glove.”

Sheng Yuan snatched it back. “It’s a collaboration design. Don’t touch other people’s things.”

Chu Weitian couldn’t tell.

But judging by Sheng Yuan’s attitude, he must really treasure it. Perhaps it was indeed a collaboration. Nowadays, that kind of junk fashion was popular.

“What collaboration?”

“Doraemon.”

Chu Weitian: “…”

Don’t say it, seriously, don’t say it.

By the finally couldn’t help but say it: “Let me wear it.”

“Why do you want to wear it? Go find somewhere wear and stay there.”

“Hey, why are you talking like that?” Chu Weitian remembered something. “Right, can you come with me to my uncle’s place when you’re free? He has something to discuss with you.”

“What’s the matter?”

“I have no idea, you’ll find out once you go.”

“Is he there now?”

“He should be.”

“I’ll go check.” Sheng Yuan stood up and accidentally brushed Chu Weitian’s hand while pushing the table.

“Ouch! What the hell are you doing?!”

Sheng Yuan casually drifted away. “Didn’t see it.”

“You fucking—!”

Sheng Yuan ignored him. Meanwhile, Chu Weitian took the opportunity to go to the Headmaster’s Office to steal his game console while Sheng Yuan was talking to Iron Head.

On his way to the office, Sheng Yuan’s system suddenly came online.

[System: Deliquent Task: Staying overnight at an internet café. Reward after task is successfully completed: +50 life points, +100 delinquency points.]

Sheng Yuan casually listened to it.

Truly Ambitious reminded him.

[System: Host, your situation is not optimistic.]

Sheng Yuan: “What do you mean by ‘not optimistic’?”

[System: I’m afraid you might bite the dust one day.]

Sheng Yuan calculated for a moment. “The current amount of life points is enough for me to survive until January.”

The delinquency points Yu Zuojin loses every day provided enough life points for him to sustain his life.

Truly Ambitious shook it’s head.

Loophole! Truly exploiting loopholes!

[System: Your life points are stable, but your delinquency points are continuously decreasing.]

[System: Have you forgotten? Delinquency points are determined based on what you do and how others perceive you. Although your delinquency points are quite high nowadays, they are decreasing every day. Who knows, one day they might disappear completely. It takes ten life points to compensate for a negative delinquency point, and you only consume five life points per day.]

Sheng Yuan: “Speak in plain language.”

[System: Just stop doing good things in the future.]

Sheng Yuan: “…”

At that moment, a male student carrying a textbook stumbled like a Japanese-style heroine and fell to the ground.

Sheng Yuan swiftly moved forward and steadied the other person.

The male student, upon seeing Sheng Yuan, was startled. “Tha… thank you!”

Sheng Yuan remembered the system’s warning and pointed at Chu Weitian. “He helped.”

Chu Weitian: “So, you’re framing me, huh?!”

Male student: “…”

He couldn’t understand the ways of a delinquent.

When normal people do good things, they feel proud and confident.

When delinquents do good things, they shift the blame onto each other.

Sheng Yuan arrived at the Headmaster’s Office only to find that it was a wasted trip as the headmaster wasn’t there.

Chu Weitian got fired up and started searching for his game console in the office.

“Keep watch for me.”

“Who said I would keep watch for you?”

Sheng Yuan dropped a remark and turned to leave.

No matter what you do, you must have long-term plans. Truly Ambitious’s previous words were not wrong.

Sheng Yuan returned to the classroom.

[System: If you continue with your previous methods, you can still increase your delinquency points.]

Sheng Yuan: “Oh, is that so?”

Truly Ambitious nodded vigorously.

[System: Of course, just keep doing my tasks.]

That day, the little system held a meeting with it’s host. The progress of other systems was already at 60%, and the system that led the fastest was already at 85%. It boasted that it’s host could go on vacation with it in a month, while Sheng Yuan’s progress seemed to be indefinitely far away.

It was envious!!!

Sheng Yuan looked boredly at the ceiling. “Truly Ambitious, do you really think I accumulated all these delinquency points by doing tasks?”

Truly Ambitious was puzzled.

[System: Then how did you accumulate them?]

“Brother Sheng.”

There was a loud noise in the sky, and Xia Zhiqi made his debut.

Sheng Yuan smiled as he looked at the person.

-It was thanks to Xia Zhiqi’s mouth.

Xia Zhiqi grinned foolishly, “Brother Sheng!”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

How could it have forgotten him?

Almost half of Sheng Yuan’s delinquency points were made by Xia Zhiqi.

If he wanted delinquency points, he could put the tasks aside and spend more time with Xia Zhiqi.

Around 10:10 PM, the old man put a leash on the Corgi, and Yu Zuojin wiped his hands, put on his coat, and prepared to leave. In his pocket was the other glove he had knitted in the afternoon, which he planned to give to Sheng Yuan later.

He walked out of the alley and immediately spotted Sheng Yuan standing under a street lamp.

His eyes were calm, but soon turned gloomy.

He noticed that Sheng Yuan had Xia Zhiqi standing beside him.

Seeing him emerge, Sheng Yuan waved at Yu Zuojin with his gloved hand, the bright red fabric catching his attention.

“Let’s go,” Sheng Yuan said, prompting Yu Zuojin to walk up to him. With a deliberate glance at Xia Zhiqi, Yu Zuojin silently positioned himself between the two of them.

Yu Zuojin’s eyes shifted to the rear seat of Sheng Yuan’s bicycle, filled with concern.

Casually, Xia Zhiqi spoke up, “Brother Sheng, should we still go to Tianqiao Road for dinner?”

“Um,” Sheng Yuan replied.

With those words, the three fell into silence. With only one bicycle, how could three of them go?

Xia Zhiqi suggested generously, “Brother Sheng, you can carry…”

Xia Zhiqi paused, unsure of how to address Yu Zoujin.

Anyway, it was settled that Yu Zuojin would sit in Sheng Yuan’s back seat.

Yu Zoujin accepted this arrangement was accepted without question.

Yu Zuojin not only didn’t show any deference, but even leaned toward Sheng Yuan.

One could say he knew how to act appropriately.

This incident also teaches that well-behaved children may not have candy, but they can have cake.

Curious, Sheng Yuan asked, “What about you?”

Xia Zhiqi patted the front handlebar of the bicycle and replied, “I’ll sit here.”

Yu Zuojin: “…”

Well-behaved children may not have candy, but they must have cake.

“No,” came a hoarse voice.

Xia Zhiqi turned his head and asked, “Why?”

Yu Zuojin, wearing a cold expression, struggled to explain and hesitated for a while.

“He can’t handle it,” he finally replied.

Sheng Yuan agreed, “I really can’t handle it.”

Sheng Yuan’s agreement intensified Xia Zhiqi’s dilemma.

So, what should they do?

Five minutes later, a bicycle with three people crossed the street.

There was numbness in Yu Zuojin’s eyes indifferent and dark eyes.

Xia Zhiqi sat on the front bumper, while Sheng Yuan occupied the back seat.

Due to the wind blowing directly in the front, and the handlebars being occupied by a rider, Yu Zuojin had gritted his teeth and asked Sheng Yuan to sit in the back.

With Xia Zhiqi enjoying the 3D off-road experience, he exclaimed, “Brother Sheng, this is so cool!”

Yu Zuojin: “…”

Shut the fuck up.
