Don’t Try To Corrupt Me

Chapter 85

At the end of January, the kindergarten had already started winter vacation. Sheng Wang refused to go to kindergarten and followed Feng Juan and Sheng Chenggong to the shop every day. Despite being small in size, he had a big brain. From a young age, he understood the value of earning money. No matter what, he insisted on working at the shop as a child laborer, earning the high salary of one yuan for 24 hours of work.

Sheng Yuan returned to the shop at 2 p.m. Sheng Wang was fast asleep in the small room on the second floor of the shop. It wasn’t until he woke himself up with a sneeze that he drowsily sat up. He wrinkled his face and scratched his small belly before flipping over, wildly attempting to reach the ground in mid-air.

Time to work, time to work.

He put on his shoes and carefully and clumsily descended the stairs, step by step. When he reached the landing on the first floor, he immediately saw Sheng Yuan being surrounded by people.

Oh!

Big brother!!

Sheng Wang’s eyes lit up, and he spread his arms wide, paying no attention to whether Sheng Yuan had seen him or not. With his short legs, he rushed forward, flapping about. “Brother!!”

Upon hearing the voice, Sheng Yuan spotted Sheng Wang, who was throwing his body forward. He bent down, stretching his arms to lift him up. “You’re awake?”

Sheng Wang still had imprints on his face from the pressure of the blanket. The two brothers hadn’t seen each other for half a month. Sheng Wang said, “Brother, I missed you so much that I’ve lost weight.”

Sheng Yuan covered the doll’s mouth and said, “Be good, think carefully before speaking next time.”

Sheng Wang blinked his eyes, and said. “Brother, I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Aren’t you deceiving your brother right now?

Sheng Wang’s face was slightly plumper than when they had parted.

Sheng Wang already knew that his brother was coming back. It was said he had been admitted to a top university, and their father happily bragged over the phone all night.

The neighbors, the entire community, all knew that the 11th building had produced a student with guaranteed admission to Qingbei University.

As for the shop, there were banners outside, and everything was free for three days.

Children’s hearts come and go quickly. When Sheng Yuan held him, Sheng Wang’s heart floated away to other things.

He looked at the things in Sheng Chenggong and Feng Juan’s hands.

“Wow! They’re so beautiful!”

Sheng Chenggong: “…”

Feng Juan: “…”

The couple stood side by side, holding the ugly things in their hands, once again shocked by their children’s judgement.

Feng Juan asked, “Does Little Wang think they’re beautiful?”

Sheng Wang gave a lot of face and said, “They’re very beautiful.”

Feng Juan: “…”

How could this be?

The aesthetics of the two brothers was exactly the same.

No wonder they were brothers.

Truly Ambitious remained silent, watching Sheng Wang admire Feng Juan’s scarf.

It felt a bit complicated.

[System: Host, are you really guilt-free in your heart?]

Sheng Yuan: ?

“Why should I be guilty?”

[System: You have a child’s aesthetic.]

“Like father, like son.”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Did he really not know the difference between beautiful and ugly?

In Sheng Yuan’s mind, as long as something was bright in color, the brighter and more vibrant it was, the more beautiful it was.

When Sheng Yuan returned, the family bought a lot of groceries and prepared to celebrate with a hot pot at home. After returning home, the couple busied themselves in the kitchen while Sheng Yuan sat on the sofa with Sheng Wang, watching TV.

Sheng Wang said, “I want to watch the cartoon with rabbits and bears.”

It should be an animated series. Sheng Yuan took the remote control and changed the channels. The screen on the TV kept changing. Suddenly, Sheng Yuan’s finger loosened the channel change button, and he looked at the person on the TV with surprise.

Sharp features, a serious face, dressed in a black suit, meticulously groomed with slicked-back hair. The face bore a striking resemblance to Yu Zuojin.

It’s not that their facial features were similar, but rather the impact and sense of bone structure on their faces were consistent. The imposing aura and serious expression of the other person were the same, but while the other party looked stern, Yu Zoujin looked very indifferent.

Sheng Yuan was in a daze, it felt as if he was looking at Yu Zuojin.

On the TV, reporters were broadcasting the news. Sheng Chenggong walked out of the kitchen and watched the report.

“Another mayoral election?”

Doing the calculations, he sighed, “It’s been five years already. Time really flies.”

Sheng Yuan looked at the person on TV.

“Who is he?”

Sheng Chenggong was surprised, “You don’t know Mayor Yu? He’s our city’s mayor.”

He shares the same last name as Yu Zuojin!

Five years ago, when Yu Feng took office, the city experienced a significant renovation. The development of the city gradually improved, and up to this day, Haicheng had developed quite well. It was a trading port, a local economic center. In addition, it now has a booming tourism industry.

Of course, there are shortcomings in urban development. Yu Feng was strict and rigid, sometimes not understanding the popular trends among young people. He also missed many good opportunities in the development plans, but fortunately, it didn’t cause much harm.

In the face of mistakes, his achievements completely overshadow them.

Sheng Chenggong looked at the well-dressed man on the TV, “If nothing unexpected happens, he is highly likely to be re-elected.”

There was a 90% chance, after all, Yu Feng’s accomplishments were evident to all.

Sheng Yuan looked at Yu Feng, “Does he have a wife and children?”

“What are you asking, how could he not? He got married a long time ago and has a son who is about your age.”

Sheng Yuan asked, “What does his son look like?”

“He hasn’t been exposed.”

“Brother, the cartoon.”

Hearing Sheng Wang’s urging, Sheng Yuan changed the channel.

At the end of February, schools of all sizes began their winter vacation. The first and second year students of No.1 Middle School enjoyed the usual one-month break, but the senior students of year 3 didn’t have as much time to relax. They only had a short seven-day holiday, and they had to return to school on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Sheng Yuan’s guaranteed admission certificate wouldn’t be issued until mid-March. Before that, he was still a high school student who had to attend classes. Once mid-March arrived, he could freely choose whether to continue attending school and experience campus life or enjoy an extended vacation until the start of university in September.

Today was the last day before the holiday. Xia Zhiqi suggested, “Brother Sheng, let’s go out and have a get together tonight. We won’t have as much time after the New Year.”

Cun Tou agreed, “I agree.”

He was a student-athlete. Although he started training in the third year, his physical fitness was good, and he had to start training when the New Year was over. After that, there would be physical examinations, and in between, he couldn’t slack off on academics. It was a busy schedule.

Sheng Yuan also had something to prepare for. On March 1st, there would be a hundred-day swearing in ceremony at their school, and he would be the student representative speaking on stage.

“Okay.”

With one sentence, the seniors decided to gather tonight and embrace their youth.

Jin Anzhu poked his head over, “If you’re all going, then I’ll go too.”

Xia Zhiqi: “…Why are you everywhere?”

“What did you say?”

Sheng Yuan asked, “Can we bring other people?”

“Of course, Brother Sheng, we’ll listen to you.” After all, you’re the big brother.

They agreed on a Sichuan restaurant, and when Sheng Yuan entered, Yu Zuojin followed behind him, wearing an ugly scarf.

Xia Zhiqi’s eyes went dark when he saw the ugly scarf around Yu Zuojin’s neck.

It’s been so long.

And Brother Sheng’s fashion style is still so explosive.

Last time it was the red and green baseball jacket, the fancy pink thermos cup placed in Class 10, and now it’s the bright purple scarf.

All of them were simply explosive.

Jin Anzhu whispered to Xiao Pang, “Where did he get all these ugly things?”

Xiao Pang glanced at him.

Jin Anzhu asked, “What’s wrong?”

“They all came from Brother Sheng.”

“…”

Jin Anzhu couldn’t accept the fact that his dream lover had such explosive aesthetics. He tried to find an excuse for Sheng Yuan, saying, “Brother Sheng doesn’t like them, that’s why he gave them to him.”

Xiao Pang wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Jin Anzhu: “…”

Say it, it’s because Brother Sheng thinks they’re ugly, hurry up and say it!!!

With Yu Zoujin’s handsome face, the bright scarf didn’t look out of place at all. He had a good figure and was like a clothes hanger, with broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs. As he walked a few steps from the entrance, he gave off the feeling of walking down a runway. He wore the scarf with no sign of embarrassment. The scarf really looked like a fashion item, until he took it off and hung it on the hanger.

It was ridiculously ugly. Their clothes next to it were all ruined.

But their attention didn’t linger on that ugly thing for long. After the dishes arrived, everyone buried their heads in eating. Surprisingly, they all had the same thought: eat to their heart’s content, chat, and have fun afterwards.

Cun Tou said, “I’ll have another bowl of rice. Does anyone else want one?”

All of them raised their hands. Cun Tou looked at Xiao Pang, who had both hands up, and said, “Just raise one hand, I can see.”

Xiao Pang shyly said, “I want two bowls.”

“…”

Sheng Yuan was eating the fiery red spicy beef in front of him. Just as he put a chopstickful in his mouth, his expression changed slightly. He didn’t have much of a reaction, but his mouth twitched three times, and his nose felt a bit irritated.

At that moment, a hand reached out in front of him, and Sheng Yuan lowered his head and spat it out.

Yu Zuojin calmly took a tissue and wiped away the chili oil that Sheng Yuan had spat out. Their actions were so natural, leaving Jin Anzhu who was watching from the side dumbfounded.

When did Brother Sheng and this scheming bastard become so close!

Sheng Yuan reminded him, “Be careful, don’t eat any chili oil.”

Yu Zuojin obediently listened to him, “I won’t.”

Sheng Yuan picked up a some beef without chili oil and put it in Yu Zuojin’s bowl.

Yu Zuojin realized something and raised his eyelids, looking at Jin Anzhu, who was staring at them.

Jin Anzhu trembled in fright when their eyes met, quickly retracting his gaze.

Two minutes later, he silently looked back.

‘Damn it! Why are you still looking at me!’

Yu Zuojin stared expressionlessly at him, and just when Jin Anzhu didn’t know what he was going to do, Yu Zuojin picked up the beef that Sheng Yuan had put out for him earlier.

His cold face showed a triumphant expression.

I have it, do you?

Jin Anzhu: “…” He did it on purpose, he definitely did it on purpose!

After a lavish meal, they started planning to play a game on the carpet in the private room.

“What should we play?”

“How about Truth or Dare?”

“Damn, that’s so outdated.”

“Do you want to play or not?”

“…Fine.”

“…” Some people just live to be mean.

Xia Zhiqi randomly picked up a glass bottle, and the group sat in a circle on the carpet.

“Let’s make it clear beforehand, it’s just a game. If there are conflicts, settle them privately. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Saying that, Xia Zhiqi held the glass bottle and twisted it solemnly on the carpet, selecting the first unlucky person for the night.

As the bottle spun, it initially created an afterimage, but gradually slowed down. Finally, it stopped at a position.

Sheng Yuan and the bottle made eye contact.

Him?

“It’s Brother Sheng! Brother Sheng, truth or dare!”

Xia Zhiqi was here. Sheng Yuan had never understood his brain circuit, so he didn’t take chances to let this crazy person dare him and he chose truth without any hesitation.

“Let me! Let me!” Jin Anzhu eagerly raised his hand. “Brother Sheng, do you have someone you like?”

Sheng Yuan: “Yes.”

Yu Zuojin, who was sitting next to him with his stoic face, nodded slightly.

He has someone.

“Fuck! Brother Sheng, you’re dating?!”

The game was completely forgotten for a while, and the private room became a monkey den.

“Brother Sheng, who is it?!”

“Do we know them?!”

“Is the person good-looking?!”

Sheng Yuan: “I think appearance is not important.”

Truly Ambitious: “…”

Sheng Yuan: “What’s wrong?”

[System: You little bastard, say it again while looking at his face.]
