My Underachieving Seatmate Doesn't Need Any Comforting

Chapter 57

Song Yixu and Jie Kai also needed to leave.

As soon as the lights were on, Song Yixu woke up from his dream: “I think I haven’t finished my homework yet ...”

Jie Kai also woke up, “Me too.”

Song Yixu looked at him. “Then what are we waiting for?”

Jie Kai: “Let’s go!”

These two ran away like the wind. On the way out they also scooped up the homemade cards, although the probability of ever using them again were quite low.

Qiao Shao was still a little lost in thought. His forehead felt tingly and he didn’t dare to touch it.

It was just kissing. What’s the big deal?

He kissed He Shen, Song Yixu kissed Jie Kai, Jie Kai kissed Song Yixu, and Song Yixu even kissed Chen Su...

So this was really nothing.

But......

Qiao Shao didn’t think it was quite right.

He had the illusion of being kissed by a girl.

Was He Shen a girl?

He visualized He Shen wearing a skirt.

En......

Qiao Shao Shao quickly frightened himself to clear-headedness.

Wei Jiayu glanced at Qiao Shao, thinking to himself, ‘Now you’re panicking? What’s the use? You should have done something earlier!”

It seemed that interpreting Qiao Shao alarmed look this way wasn’t completely wrong.

Qiao Shao found that there were fewer people in the room. “Where’s He Shen?”

Wei Jiayu worrying for Lou Xiao was really of no use. Look at this guy! He really hadn’t placed Xiao Ge in his heart!

Chen Su was already doing the exercise sheets. “He and Lou Xiao went out.”

Qiao Shao was surprised. “Why’d they go out?”

Now that the power’s back, he’s no longer afraid of ghosts? Did He Shen go back home?

And hadn’t said anything to him...

Wei Jiayu sat up straight and looked expressionlessly at Qiao Shao. “You tell me. What do you think they’re doing out there?”

Qiao Shao noticed that Blue Hair was in a bad mood, and seemed to be angry.

But this boy has always been the awkward sort so Qiao Shao had long gotten used to it, he said, “I’ll ask.”

As soon as he took out his phone, Wei Jiayu jumped up. “You ... you ...” You even dare to ask!

Qiao Shao looked at him. “What are you being all flustered for?”

Wei Jiayu stared at him, stared at him for a long while and then said, “You &#k2026;”

Qiao Shao wondered, “What about me?”

Wei Jiayu thought about how this boy had delivered that painful kick to that scumbag, Ren Kuo. He couldn’t help but say, “You are the most fearless person I have ever met.”

He was obviously thin and small, and he’d been endowed with that particularly amiable looking face, but he could do just about anything! Faced with things that would frighten people to the point of wetting their pants, he would only slightly frown at.

No wonder Shen Ge and Xiao Ge were dead set on having him.

Wei Blue Hair was also won over.

Qiao Shao was very happy to hear that. Who wouldn’t be pleased from being praised?

He especially like this pure and unadulterated kind of praise that wasn’t colored by his family background. It made him feel good all over.

“It’s nothing,” Qiao Shao patted Wei Jiayu on the shoulder, “From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just tell me.”

Wei Jiayu: “...”

Qiao Shao said: “I won’t fight them, but I definitely won’t let you suffer a loss!”

Wei Jiayu felt very complicated, a little touched and a bit helpless.

No, you wouldn’t need to lift a hand. Your two blue friends can disperse all the monsters and demons for you!

Wei Jiayu sighed. “Thank you in advance.”

He also shouldn’t get himself tangled up in and worry about Qiao Shao’s matters.

Everyone he has tried to help, he has just let down. Seeing Qiao Shao’s “forewarned is forearmed” manner, he must certainly have a plan in mind.

Since the “Emperor” wasn’t worried, then let him, this “eunuch”, rest okay? He was so f*cking tired.

Chen Su also overheard this conversation of theirs. He raised his head and looked over, hesitating.

If it was before, he would never have asked, but today he did. “Wei Jiayu, are you being bullied?”

Wei Jiayu, like a threatened cat, immediately shot back, “As if I would allow others to bully me?”

This rising intonation was filled with the sound of guilt.

Chen Su also saw through him.

However, Wei Jiayu was only puffing himself up at a cost to himself. He used his rude mouth to cover up his awkwardness. That’s all.

So it was necessary to filter Blue hair’s words in order to hear what he was really saying.

Chen Su put the notes he had sorted out onto his desk before turning to him and saying, “Now is the age for studying. Don’t provoke those irrelevant people.”

Wei Jiayu was now angry. “What would you know!”

Chen Su looked at him, “I don’t know anything, but I won’t watch you being bullied.”

Wei Jiayu: “...”

Qiao Shao said, “Yeah, yeah, how could we allow our amazing dorm room leader to be bullied?”

These words brought a warmth to Wei Jiayu’s heart.

His heart was warm but he was still putting on an act, pretending to be tough. “Drop it. I won’t ever be bullied again.”

He then looked at Chen Su and said, “You’ve got some nerve to tell me off. Who exactly was it who was being bullied for half a year!”

Chen Su “...”

Soon as he said it, Wei Jiayu regretted it, but he wasn’t made for speaking soft words. He said gruffly, “Anyhow, you will tutor me and if I do well, I’ll give you a bonus. When the time comes, if someone dares to say you’re poor, then you should slap money across their face!”

Chen Su smiled, and behind his glasses, his eyes had a luster that wasn’t there before.

That was the best proof that he had finally put down his feelings inferiority and picked himself up.

Lou Xiao and He Shen didn’t leave the school premises.

Now that the power was back, the school was actually quieter than before.

They came out of the dormitory building, and Lou Xiao rummaged for a cigarette.

He Shen saw it and said, “Give me one.”

Lou Xiao said, “Didn’t you quit?”

He then took out his cigarette case and took one out.

“En,” He Shen said as he took one for himself, “My heart’s beating too fast.”

I need something to calm down.

Lou Xiao: “...”

All from a kiss to the forehead?

Haven’t you two already done worse? Or are you saying it’s different when it’s in front of your classmates? Is it more stimulating?

The school tyrant wordlessly handed him the lighter.

He Shen moved in close and lighted the cigarette. After taking a deep drag, he set it down.

His arms rested on the railing, his long fingers held the cigarette. His movements were clearly very practiced.

Lou Xiao breathed in deeply from his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. “I’m telling you...”

Before he could continue, He Shen cut it. “Is it so obvious?” He asked Lou Xiao instead.

Lou Xiao said with no trace of politeness. “Very obvious.” There wasn’t even the slightest attempt at concealment! Fortunately, both He Shen and Qiao Shao were men, otherwise, he might be an uncle by now.

He Shen laughed softly, as if he was talking to himself. “I should restrain myself.”

Lou Xiao said, “At least behave in school.”

He Shen stared at spark of fire between his fingers. “En.”

Lou Xiao felt that his answer had been too perfunctory and decided he need to talk about this more thoroughly. “He’s different from you. If this turns into a commotion, no one in the school will blame you.”

But they will blame Qiao Shao.

Everywhere it was the same thing. The weak were the prey to the strong. No matter what He Shen did, he had enough strength to establish himself onto an unassailable position. But Qiao Shao was just an ordinary student, could he stand it?

Just like a normal high school students’ puppy love, top students and underachievers were treated differently. If you study well, the teacher will coax you; if you don’t study well, you will be driven into the abyss.

He Shen said: “I know.”

If not for that, he would have already confessed to Qiao Shao.

Lou Xiao hesitated but still couldn’t help but ask, “What are you going to do in the future?”

He Shen was a little bit surprised. “In the future?”

Upon hearing this return question, the school tyrant narrowed his eyes—

This old beast already did someone but didn’t think what would come after?

Then He Shen finished his words, “Am I qualified to think of the future?”

Lou Xiao knew something of He Shen’s situation, and frowned, “Aren’t you already doing your best to earn money?”

He Shen said, “Even if I did make enough, will the Xie Family really let me go in three years?”

Lou Xiao said nothing.

The cigarette between He Shen’s fingers had been exhausted, and after the last bit of spark was extinguished, he threw it into the trash.

Lou Xiao said: “...if worst comes to worst, you should just take him and go somewhere far away.”

He Shen turned around. “Let him follow me to hide in Tibet and suffer?”

Lou Xiao said, “Then just get rid of the Xie Family.”

He Shen sneered. “Like my mother, like how she was hated to the point that they broke her?”

Lou Xiao was silent.

After a long while, He Shen said, “There’s no hurry.”

Maybe in the end, the child won’t develop the same feelings for him. Then he would have nothing to worry about.

Lou Xiao thought of it from the other aspect, he said, “Yeah, there’s still three years. A lot of things could change.”

“Yeah,” He Shen wasn’t the type of person who would let others worry. He raised his lips. “Just a little while ago, he also told me that his father was Qiao Zongmin.”

Lou Xiao was dumbfounded. “Well, he certainly knows how to brag.”

He Shen joked. “That’s perfect. After I help Qiao Zongmin annex the Xie Family, he could give me his son ...”

Lou Xiao leveled him with a dead eyed stare: “Wake up, I heard that the Qiao family’s only son is looked after so closely, it’s like he’s being raised in a bubble. How could he appear in a poor place like this?”

He Shen said, “And even if he did, no one would care.”

“Right,” Lou Xiao felt a bit suffocated. “‘Coz only your Qiao is perfect.”

“Isn’t he?” He Shen looked at him earnestly. “You tell me what about Qiao Shao isn’t perfect?”

Lou Xiao: “...”

He Shen said: “Come on, say it and I will enlighten you.”

As if Lou Xiao would f*cking say anything!
