Don’t Try To Corrupt Me

Chapter 71

Sheng Yuan jumped faster than a long-legged Arctic hare living in the cold northern region.

With astonishing speed, he swung open the door of Room 408 and, without forgetting, pushed away Yu Zuojin who was chasing after him. He swiftly stepped out of the room.

While escaping, he also observed the geographical environment, searching for the most advantageous route.

On the fourth floor, there was a narrow corridor. Calculating their leg length and speed, if he ran to the staircase, he would be caught.

Sheng Yuan adjusted his strategy and swiftly entered Room 407, slamming the door shut.

Zheng Zilu, who was eating instant noodles, was so frightened that the chopsticks almost stabbed his nose. He put down the instant noodles and patted his chest.

Guo Guan just came out of the bathroom after washing his hair and saw that it was Sheng Yuan who came in. He waved his hand.

“Hi~”

Sheng Yuan copied and pasted, “Hi~”

Zheng Zilu: “…”

What’s wrong with you two?

Sheng Yuan and the occupants of Room 407 were familiar with each other, especially Zheng Zilu.

He casually took off his down jacket, making himself feel at home. “Brother, I’ll crash here for the lunch break today.”

Zheng Zilu ate his noodles and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you go back to your own dorm?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. I missed you a bit,” Sheng Yuan replied.

“You bastard, are you trying to deceive a dog?” Zheng Zilu retorted.

Sheng Yuan: “…”

Looking at his tacit appearance, Zheng Zilu said, “…Hey! Why aren’t you talking?!”

Sheng Yuan turned his head and said, “I’m feeling guilty.”

“Why are you feeling guilty?!” Zheng Zilu exclaimed.

It was common for boys to rest in their friends’ dormitories, often playing cards or games after the dormitory supervisor finished their night patrol.

Zheng Zilu pointed at his bed and said, “That’s my bed, but you have to make it for me before and after your nap.”

Having a hiding place was enough, and making the bed was a simple task.

“No problem,” Sheng Yuan replied. “Brother, you can sleep inside. I’ll save you a spot.”

Then the two of them would share the bed equally.

Zheng Zilu slurped his instant noodles and said, “Okay.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door of Room 407.

Knock, knock, knock—

Zheng Zilu walked to the door holding his noodles and asked, “Who is it?”

He opened the door.

Yu Zuojin stood outside the door with a gloomy face.

Bang!

Zheng Zilu: ‘That was close!’

He had a terrified expression on his face.

Fortunately, he closed the door quickly; otherwise, Yu Zuojin would have punched him in the face.

Sheng Yuan remained oblivious to what was happening on the other side, fully focused on making the bed.

Zheng Zilu, on the other hand, trembled anxiously at the door.

Although he had spent a lot of time alone with Yu Zuojin before, like the time they ate candied haws together, the time Yu Zuojin helped him pick up books, the time Yu Zuojin knocked his books down, and the time Yu Zuojin knocked his books down again… and again… and again…

By shutting Yu Zuojin outside, Zheng Zilu felt that he wouldn’t have any good thing in the future.

Zheng Zilu looked at his instant noodles, quickly finished his last delicious thing, and opened the door, saying, “Classmate Yu.”

A cold, indifferent gaze greeted him as soon as he opened the door.

Yu Zuojin stared at him.

In Zheng Zilu’s eyes, he read an underlying message.

–If you have the ability to steal someone’s man, then have the ability to open the door.

Zheng Zilu: “…”

“Classmate Yu, is there something you need?” Zheng Zilu asked as he looked at Yu Zuojin.

Yu Zuojin glanced into the room.

Sheng Yuan happened to meet his gaze, but with the presence of Guo Gang and Zheng Zilu inside Room 407, Yu Zuojin couldn’t do anything about it.

Unless he wanted to lose face.

Looking at the stiff and uncomfortable Yu Zuojin standing outside, Sheng Yuan leisurely lay down on the bed, squinting his beautiful eyes like a triumphant land creature.

Truly Ambitious: “…”

This bastard is up to something.

Sure enough, Sheng Yuan, who was lying on the bed, provocatively pouted at Yu Zuojin. Due to his fair complexion, his lips appeared bright red and plump.

Yu Zuojin’s eyes darkened as expected.

Truly Ambitious: “…”

It knew very well that as long as it didn’t beat Sheng Yuan to death, Sheng Yuan will always triumph over it.

It was always the same. Anyone who dared to challenge Sheng Yuan would go from wanting to challenge him to being determined to kill him.

Zheng Zilu took a sip of instant noodle soup and emboldened by liquid courage, said: “Classmate Yu, what’s the matter?”

Yu Zuojin lowered his head and looked at him.

Zheng Zilu: “…”

He seemed to have read something again.

—Do you have the right to speak here?

Zheng Zilu: Fuck!!!

Sheng Yuan lay on the bed.

“I’ll take a nap in Room 407 today,” he said.

“The cold air came in when you opened the door. Close it.”

Yu Zuojin stared at Sheng Yuan and finally listened to his words, closing the door.

However…

Zheng Zilu watched as Yu Zuojin stepped into Room 407.

Why are you coming in?!

He stumbled backward.

Why was his life so miserable?

Heavens! His world will never be bright again!

Guo Gang wasn’t very familiar with Yu Zuojin, but he wasn’t afraid of him either. Although the delinquents he had encountered were famous, like Sheng Yuan, who had a reputation, Sheng Yuan was easy to get along with. He didn’t match the fierce and vicious rumors. Guo Gang believed that Yu Zuojin should be the same. Over the past two years of being neighbors in the dormitory, besides the occasional noise of Yu Zuojin suddenly throwing things in the middle of the night, there wasn’t anything uncomfortable about him.

The frequency of throwing things varied, sometimes five or six times a month, and other times only two or three times a month. But he slept soundly, and Zheng Zilu had a good sleep as well. He couldn’t hear the noise unless he got up at night.

In the hot summer, the corridor was filled with noise from various dormitories during the noon break, and they were already used to it.

Seeing Yu Zuojin coming from Room 408 to Room 407, Guo Gang asked Sheng Yuan, “Is the air conditioning in Room 408 broken?”

“No, I just simply wanted to be with Zheng Zilu,” Sheng Yuan replied.

Zheng Zilu: “…”

Sheng Yuan, are you trying to kill me?

Sheng Yuan! I can’t take it anymore! Just kill me!

Since the last time Sheng Yuan didn’t go to eat candied haws, and Yu Zuojin kicked the old man’s broken chain car several meters away, Zheng Zilu understood that it was impossible for a person to defeat a monster.

Yu Zuojin had a strong possessiveness towards Sheng Yuan.

Facing Yu Zuojin’s death glare, Zheng Zilu stiffly turned his head, pretending not to see, hoping that Yu Zuojin would do the same and pretend not to see him.

Guo Gang asked, “And classmate Yu?”

Yu Zuojin stared at Zheng Zilu and said, “I want him too.”

Zheng Zilu almost knelt down with a thump.

He wants my life, doesn’t he?

Yu Zuojin’s voice was hoarse.

“Me.”

“Sleep.”

“Here.”

Meaning, I am also sleeping in Room 407. Sheng Yuan is here, and he is here too. If Jin Anzhu were here, he would definitely curse him in his heart for learning from others.

But Zheng Zilu’s bed was already occupied by Sheng Yuan, and three people couldn’t squeeze onto that tiny bed.

Zheng Zilu: I’ve never been this popular before.

However, Yu Zuojin stared at him, determined to get an explanation.

Ten minutes later…

“If you feel crowded, let me know, Classmate Yu,” Guo Gang said.

Yu Zuojin, who was sleeping beside Guo Gang: “…”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

He is literally sleeping at the edge of the bed.

During the lunch break, when there were many people, they unconsciously considered each other’s feelings. The four of them settled down and lay on their backs or sides on the bed.

Yu Zuojin’s deep, dark eyes stared at the ceiling.

He thought he would just lie there with his eyes open for the whole afternoon, but as time passed, his eyelids became heavier and he eventually fell asleep.

When he woke up again, there were rustling sounds coming from Room 407.

The sound of the bed creaking as someone shifted, followed by Zheng Zilu’s alarm clock ringing.

Usually, Zheng Zilu would set an alarm to avoid oversleeping, and Guo Gang would also wake up when he heard it. They almost always got up at the same time.

Zheng Zilu had drunk a lot of water before going to bed and was desperate to use the bathroom. Guo Gang, apparently needing to use it as well, rushed together with him and they both got stuck in the door frame.

“I’ll go first.”

“Sorry, I was a bit slower. My foot went in first.”

Guo Gang raised his foot and stepped hard.

“Ahh!!!”

Zheng Zilu: So you’re playing dirty!

While the two of them were arguing, Yu Zuojin opened his eyes, feeling a heavy sense of irritability. He turned his head and saw Sheng Yuan sleeping soundly on Zheng Zilu’s bed.

His hair was messy, and he lazily lay on the bed, one arm raised beside the pillow. His complexion was rosy and he slept peacefully.

Yu Zuojin sat up, glanced at the two arguing at the bathroom door, and took a step toward Zheng Zilu’s bed. He knelt on the bed with one long leg, leaned over, and quietly kissed Sheng Yuan’s cheek. The tip of his nose pressed against Sheng Yuan’s cheek, and the kiss was forceful. The tip of his nose even sank into Sheng Yuan’s flesh.

He didn’t kiss his lips because he had to keep his word.

“Mmm…”

Sheng Yuan hummed as he was kissed, causing Yu Zuojin’s heart to skip a beat. He gathered the flesh of Sheng Yuan’s cheek with his large hand and bit down on it.

Sheng Yuan jolted awake.

“You kissed me?”

Yu Zuojin stood up straight. “No.”

Sheng Yuan touched his cheek. “Then why is my face wet?”

“Saliva.”

“Yours?”

“Yours.”

Sheng Yuan: “…”

You little brat, are you trying to speak nonsense with your eyes wide open?

Sheng Yuan just woke up, and with the warmth wrapped in the quilt on his body, he raised his hand to touch his face, and found a tooth mark on his face.

Sheng Yuan: (Stare)

Yu Zuojin: “…”

Sheng Yuan said, “Open your mouth.”

Yu Zuojin’s eyes lit up.

Sheng Yuan saw the message in his eyes.

–A French kiss?

Sheng Yuan: “…”

What was he thinking all day?

He extended two fingers and compared Yu Zuojin’s teeth to the bite mark on his face.

The case was solved.

However, Yu Zuojin’s face remained impassive without any guilt.

Sheng Yuan, being just and upright, immediately passed judgment: “Before your grades improve, don’t expect me to let you near my lips.”

Yu Zuojin hesitated for a moment after hearing that, and then…

It didn’t hurt or itch.

But his recent behavior clearly damaged his image. He didn’t know which string guided him, but he felt that most of Sheng Yuan‘s affection for him was based on his pure image.

So his image must remain intact. His recent behavior lacked innocence.

Having kissed and bitten, he now had to maintain a pure and innocent image.

Yu Zuojin distanced himself from Sheng Yuan.

“Just now, it was unintentional.”

Sheng Yuan silently watched his performance. If he believed a single word from the other party today, his surname wouldn’t be Sheng.

[System: Then let’s both be surnamed Ambitious.]

Sheng Yuan: “…”

As Sheng Yuan stared, Yu Zuojin looked at the floor, showing no signs of guilt.

Once again, he repeated that it wasn’t intentional, attempting to brainwash Sheng Yuan.

“It was an accident.”

Sheng Yuan: “An accident that led you to come from the opposite side and take a bite of me.”

He pointed to the fading bite mark on his face.

That was the evidence.

“Classmate Yu Zuojin, you better give me a reasonable explanation.”

Yu Zuojin pondered deeply with his dark eyes for a while, then looked up at Sheng Yuan with sincere eyes.

Sheng Yuan: “Reason.”

Yu Zuojin: “Sleepwalking.”

Truly Ambitious:!

Damn, well played!

Truly Ambitious: Damn, Sheng Yuan actually lost!
