The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 74

Chapter 74: Roommate 34

Her son was addicted to studying and didn’t know how to open up. Sex education still depended on his mother!

Lu Qingwu was very pleased with her foresight.

When she first arrived at the apartment, she found the doors and windows wide open, and the lights were not turned off. She had sent Chen Beichuan several messages, all of which had sunk like a stone in the sea. She knew her own son. He had been cautious and meticulous since he was a child, strict with others and even stricter with himself. He had more tricks up his sleeve than a honeycomb had holes. It was impossible for him to make such a careless and low-level mistake.

Therefore, she was not worried about her temporarily out-of-contact son. She sent two more messages to Gu Xiu, which also went unanswered.

She was able to confirm that the two of them were ninety-nine percent together. She didn’t know if they would come back tonight.

She cleaned Chen Beichuan’s room and found that there was nothing in it. So she cleaned up while ordering takeout and waiting for the expedited delivery of birth control products.

Everything was well-prepared, and the two children were also home. It was simply perfect.

Lu Qingwu listened to half of the corner, left the two of them some private space, went to the sofa to rest, happily humming a little tune, and gave the takeout a big thumbs up.

An hour later, Gu Xiu came out of the bedroom with red eyes, limping.

“Ah…” Lu Qingwu immediately stood up and politely averted her gaze. “It’s getting late. I’ll be leaving now. You two should rest well.”

Gu Xiu was impatient and followed as if he were escaping. “Auntie, I’ll go with you!”

“I’ll take you,” Chen Beichuan quickly replied, and only after a pause did he look at his mother. “All of you.”

Lu Qingwu: “…”

Gu Xiu was going back to the school dormitory, which was not on the way for Lu Qingwu, who was staying at a hotel outside.

The two of them first sent Lu Qingwu off in a taxi. Chen Beichuan’s face immediately changed 180 degrees. He skillfully grabbed Gu Xiu’s arm and said without a word, “You’re coming back with me.”

Gu Xiu: “I’m not…”

Chen Beichuan reminded, “Dormitory curfew. If you go back now, you’ll get points deducted, and I’ll be implicated too.”

Gu Xiu was speechless.

Chen Beichuan’s expression softened a little, and he asked him again, “Does it still hurt? The sting of the alcohol should have been just for a moment, right?”

Gu Xiu nudged him with his elbow in dissatisfaction and broke free. “Who told you to be so rough!”

“Your voice is so loud,” the corner of Chen Beichuan’s lips curled up slightly. “You must be fine.”

Gu Xiu suddenly found that every time he was with this person, he was particularly prone to making a fuss.

He pursed his lips, held back from making a sound, and walked forward in a huff.

Chen Beichuan followed him unhurriedly.

The residential area was large, with lush trees. The moonlight above was sparse, occasionally blocked by the treetops, and occasionally sprinkled on the shoulders of the people strolling below.

Chen Beichuan suddenly said again, “My mom probably bought the condoms.”

Gu Xiu was angry again. He turned back and said angrily, “I don’t believe you! You pervert! You have a criminal record. Not only did you frame me, but you also stole my underwear.”

Chen Beichuan raised an eyebrow. “I stole your underwear? That was originally mine.”

Gu Xiu’s momentum was like a rainbow. “Listen to what you’re saying! You’ve exposed yourself!”

Chen Beichuan was poked in the forehead by his fingertip. He didn’t get angry but laughed. Under the moonlight, his eyes were like water, a hazy and graceful gray, gently enveloping the person in front of him like a thin mist.

Gu Xiu was speechless again.

He had just wanted to withdraw his hand when his fingertips were caught and wrapped in a warm palm.

Gu Xiu’s breathing hitched, and his heart in his chest also felt as if it were wrapped in something, for example, mist, or gauze, hazy and elusive.

“Gu Xiu,” Chen Beichuan’s voice was slightly hoarse, and he asked word by word, straight to the point, “Why are you avoiding it? Does it have to do with what that man said?”

Chen Beichuan accurately grasped all the keywords. “System, golden finger, plot, novel, paper character?”

He was the top student of a top university, and his protagonist’s halo was bright and dazzling. With a little guidance, he could easily connect all the clues and see the truth of this world.

But his gaze at Gu Xiu was still calm. The answer he wanted was not this question. He just looked at Gu Xiu’s eyes, and after a moment, he smiled.

If Gu Xiu could tell him everything without any restraint, then there would be no need to be so secretive and to keep avoiding it with a duplicitous heart.

So he only asked, “Gu Xiu, do you like me?”

Gu Xiu rubbed the corner of his eye, turned his face away, and said sullenly, “I hate you.”

Some answers were clearly insincere and the opposite of what he meant, while others involved the secrets of the Quick Transmigration Bureau. Gu Xiu couldn’t answer, for example, his mission, the time limit of the mission, and the final departure. At most, he could say vaguely, “I’m leaving.”

For some reason, such words also seemed familiar.

But Chen Beichuan asked skillfully.

“Can you stay here and hate me forever?”

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then he nodded. He didn’t feel any obstruction, and then he replied, “I can.”

Gu Xiu gave a positive answer.

This sentence contained two questions. If hate was the opposite, then staying here forever was also the opposite.

Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew, and Chen Beichuan felt that more than half of his body temperature was gone in an instant.

In the end, Gu Xiu spent a night in the guest room of Chen Beichuan’s apartment. The next day, Chen Beichuan took leave from the research institute, and the two of them went back to school together.

Ji Ning was still worried. Near noon, he estimated that Gu Xiu should be up and eagerly called.

Gu Xiu didn’t bring his phone to bed. The charging phone was vibrating on the desk. Chen Beichuan glanced at it, took the phone without hesitation, and only answered after he had gone out.

“It’s me.”

Ji Ning swallowed all the concern he had prepared. “…Senior Chen Beichuan?”

“Mm,” Chen Beichuan said. “He was tired last night and is still sleeping. I’m hanging up.”

Ji Ning: “…”

Chen Beichuan’s previous words, which were filled with private goods and a declaration of sovereignty, could not be confirmed in the future. Ji Ning gradually stopped taking it seriously. He estimated that Chen Beichuan was just like him, having a one-sided love for Gu Xiu, and was just showing off.

But…

Ji Ning hurriedly added, “Senior, Gu Xiu seemed to be drunk last night…”

Beep, beep, beep—

The phone was hung up, directly refusing to prove whether he had taken advantage of the situation, letting Ji Ning’s imagination run wild.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Beichuan just happened to go to the cafeteria and came back with a steaming breakfast.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gu Xiu with his eyebrows furrowed in anger and his eyes swollen into double eyelids. “Chen Beichuan, did you steal my phone!”

Chen Beichuan walked up without a word, like a child who had encountered a new and strange transforming toy. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch Gu Xiu’s eyelid.

Gu Xiu reacted violently and bounced back.

After a while, he rushed up again. “My—phone—!”

“I was setting an alarm for you just now and took it out on the way,” Chen Beichuan said while holding back a laugh, and took out his phone from his pocket, throwing it back. “I went to buy you breakfast.”

His annoying roommate had become a person who only did human things. Gu Xiu was embarrassed to continue to look for trouble. He gave up, his nose twitched, and his eyes were also glued to the sumptuous breakfast.

Starting with the fragrant and hot porridge, Gu Xiu skillfully removed the plastic cover, picked up a spoon, and ate with great relish, one mouthful after another.

“Eat slowly,” Chen Beichuan reminded from the side and even came over to fix his hair.

Gu Xiu immediately stopped.

Chen Beichuan, on the other hand, was calm and composed. He looked at him and said again, “Your mouth is dirty.”

Gu Xiu was stunned for a moment. “Huh?”

Chen Beichuan pointed a finger. “Here.”

Gu Xiu was in a daze. His finger caressed his chin for half a circle, but he couldn’t find the exact position.

Chen Beichuan’s gray eyes clearly reflected him and gradually approached. Before he could react—

The tip of his tongue came out, rolled, and licked the corner of his mouth.

It was as if he had been struck by lightning. Time seemed to have stopped. Sparks crackled all over his body, and every nerve ending bloomed.

And Chen Beichuan, who had done a bad thing, still sat up straight as if nothing had happened, licked his lips, and then lowered his head to drink two mouthfuls of soy milk.

Gu Xiu was wooden. He only felt that the sweet and fragrant porridge in his mouth had turned into dry wax.

Chen Beichuan glanced at him and asked with feigned kindness, “Why aren’t you eating?”

Gu Xiu’s face flushed belatedly, and he lowered his head. “Damn… pervert.”

Chen Beichuan was scolded but still smiled, holding back a laugh.

Gu Xiu only discovered it when he peeked. He wanted to scold him again but couldn’t. His eyes, which were filled with that face, were also burning hot. He quickly lowered his head and stuffed half a large white bun into his mouth in one go.

In the evening, Chen Beichuan used the same old trick.

A lonely and afraid of the dark childhood shadow, and then he forcefully climbed into Gu Xiu’s bed. Even though Gu Xiu had already seen Lu Qingwu with his own eyes, he still lied without a red face or a pounding heart.

Gu Xiu sat up and blocked the person, scolding with a straight face, “It’s too crowded. Go to your own bed and sleep! I didn’t see you being afraid when you were living outside, did I?”

Chen Beichuan: “Because I put your photo on my bedside table, so I’m not afraid.”

“I’ll be damned, in your bedside table is clearly…” Gu Xiu’s words got stuck. He feigned a kick and pulled a long face. “Speaking of which, I haven’t even asked you. Why did Auntie say she saw your Moments photo? What did you post? Did you block me?”

“It’s the set of photos we took at Disneyland. It already has three hundred likes. Do you want to see it?” Chen Beichuan said. “I didn’t say anything extra, not a single word. It’s just that we look very compatible in the photos.”

“…” Gu Xiu was silent for a moment, then he spread his arms to defend himself. “Get off my bed!”

Chen Beichuan showed extraordinary perseverance and persistence and came again. “Then when will you give me an answer?”

Gu Xiu pulled up the quilt and fanned it, wrapped himself in it, and hid his nose and eyes, not making a sound.

After a long while, the sound of climbing the stairs came.

He quietly exposed one ear and carefully caught the movement of Chen Beichuan getting out of bed, confirming that he had returned to his own bed.

Chen Beichuan was gone, but his phone was vibrating.

CBC: 【Little heartless】

AngryWiddleBird: 【? You’re the one!!】

CBC: 【Even if I lie, I’m open and honest. I never pretend to be stupid】

Gu Xiu: “…”

He’s even right when he’s lying.

Bzz bzz bzz.

The WeChat harassment from his roommate was continuous.

CBC: 【Why can’t you just tell me?】

CBC: 【Is it that you can’t? Does it have to do with what that man said at the KTV last time?】

Gu Xiu’s heart skipped a beat, a heavy one, so much so that he directly lifted the quilt and sat up.

The protagonist’s halo on Chen Beichuan was not just for show. He also showed extraordinary intelligence in matters outside of this world.

CBC: 【If it’s not that you can’t… are you afraid that I’ll be sad, or are you afraid that you’ll be sad?】

Gu Xiu finally replied.

AngryWiddleBird: 【Of course not!!】

Gu Xiu’s persona was a scum gong in a crematorium. To perform too well would be to break his persona. He was a fickle and flirtatious person. As long as he was willing, he could say all sorts of sweet nothings and cheat.

But he didn’t want to, and he especially didn’t want to do that to Chen Beichuan.

Chen Beichuan accurately interpreted him and took his opposite words as the truth.

CBC: 【So, you’re afraid that you’ll be sad, and you don’t want me to be sad either.】

It seemed that he couldn’t explain it no matter what. Gu Xiu gave up and threw a string of ellipses over.

Chen Beichuan pursued relentlessly.

CBC: 【Then do you hate me?】

AngryWiddleBird: 【Mm, I hate you! [/rolling eyes]】

CBC: 【Then I hate you too [/grinning]】

Gu Xiu: “…?”

Gu Xiu looked up in shock. Through the gap in the guardrail by the bed, he just happened to see Chen Beichuan’s un-drawn bed curtain, the half of his face that was illuminated by the phone screen, and the slightly raised corners of his lips.

When he was discovered laughing secretly, Chen Beichuan pretended to be mysterious and turned over, showing his back to him, and continued to send messages.

CBC: 【Oh~ huh~ I~ hate~ you~】

CBC: 【(bleh-bleh-bleh.jpg)】

Gu Xiu: “…” Sick!

AngryWiddleBird: 【(Little bird angry and fluffy.jpg)】

CBC: [Screenshot]

It was a screenshot of their chat interface.

Gu Xiu frowned. He didn’t see anything at first glance and thought that Chen Beichuan had slipped his hand. He looked again, and his nickname seemed to be the original, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly the note that Chen Beichuan had given him!

A red angry little bird profile picture, with a somewhat funny note:

ProudSpoiledLilBirdie

Gu Xiu: “…?”

Sick, and hopeless!
