The Spoiled Little Beauty is Always Abusing the Protagonist [Quick Transmigration] 43

Chapter 43: What’s Wrong with a Spoiled Beta 5

System: 【You… again…】

Shu He cupped his face, his eyes starry. “Brother 1, don’t you think the trick of toying with emotions is particularly effective? This is a comfort zone I’ve worked so hard to discover. You have to support me.”

System: 【I… you…】

Shu He: “Why does your voice sound like a mosaic? It’s stuttering.”

The system was silent: 【…】

How should it say it?

It wanted to speak but stopped, stopped but wanted to speak again. Its cold program seemed to be burning with a raging fire… Finally, the system wearily pulled out all its data for a baptism, sublimation, sublimation, sublimation.

From a mechanical and rational point of view, this comfort zone was indeed good. Shu He could indeed use the same trick again to achieve the goal of completing the mission as quickly as possible.

This move was a one-hit kill and had obvious feedback.

But, out of some not-so-easy-to-sort-out personal feelings, it did not want Shu He to have any emotional entanglement with these men.

Fortunately, Chu Chuanting had not accepted the friend request. After half a day, the system breathed a sigh of relief, and its stiff mechanical voice took on a righteous tone to comfort him: 【I believe that besides this comfort zone, you can discover more comfort zones.】

Shu He was dejected. “Really?”

【Mm, open the Complete Guide to Villainy I gave you and take a look. There are many other ways.】

If it hadn’t mentioned it, Shu He would have almost forgotten about this book.

With a thought, a blank-covered strategy book appeared in his hand. Shu He sat up straight, planning to review the strategy. Just then, a “ding-dong” sound came from his terminal.

—Chu Chuanting had sent him a friend request.

“!”

Shu He’s almond eyes instantly sparkled with surprise.

For a moment, he didn’t notice that this friend request was sent by Chu Chuanting, not that he had accepted it. This meant that Chu Chuanting most likely had not looked at the add list, but had directly entered his terminal number, which he had gotten from who knows where, and sent the request.

In any case, Shu He was like a calico cat happily running towards a cat treat.

The system watched as the first sentence he sent to the protagonist was: 【Hello, baby.】

…So good at this.

“Brother 1, should I take it step by step?” Shu He felt it was inappropriate after sending it.

He puffed out his cheeks and tried to recall his experience from the last world, but he didn’t know if it was because too much time had passed, but his memory was hazy, and he couldn’t remember any details.

The system didn’t say that this was the result of sorting out his mind in the system space. It responded, its mechanical voice muffled. 【Yes. Do you really want to have an online relationship with the protagonist?】

“Mm.” Shu He already had his own plan. He wiggled his butt and sat down in a new position, his small face serious. “I won’t tell him my identity. I’ll toy with his emotions first, and then when he’s deeply in love, I’ll tell him that I was sent by the Chu family to plot against him, and my purpose was to see him so devastated by me that he would lose all heart to fight for power.”

It seemed to be the first layer, but the little villain was actually on the third layer! After hearing him say this, the protagonist would definitely be motivated to rise up with the thought of making him pay.

He’s so smart.

Shu He felt he was the smartest person in the world. This plan was simply flawless, with a perfect beginning, development, turn, and conclusion.

He happily swung his feet and mumbled, “Don’t worry, bro. I can get a thousand points this time too.”

System: 【…】

If he didn’t reveal his identity, this move was indeed feasible… but…

【If the protagonist really agrees to have an online relationship with you, what will you do if he suggests meeting up after a while?】

Shu He scratched his head and said honestly, “I haven’t thought of that yet.”

He would take it one step at a time. He still had to get into a relationship with the protagonist first. Thinking of this, Shu He pursed his dimples and looked at the terminal again.

The lonely “Hello, baby” lay in the chat list.

Still no reply. The little villain had died before he could even succeed.

*

At night, after the bustling birthday banquet was over, the Chu residence became extremely cold and deserted. Although the huge estate was brightly lit and people were coming and going, it still gave off the feeling of being in the darkest corner of the world, making people feel inexplicably cold.

The old master had called Chu Chuanbai and Chu Chuanting several times, but neither of them had answered. His expression was ugly. Before getting into the hover car to go back to the nursing home, the old master finally turned back to look at this huge Chu residence, a cryptic glint in his old eyes. With his back disappearing into the hover car, he only left behind a heavy “Hmph!”

“Mr. Chu, the old master has already arrived at the nursing home.”

In the study, the subordinate was reporting on the whereabouts of some people after the birthday banquet. “The second young master has returned to the military academy. He seems to be the same as usual.”

Chu Chuanbai lowered his eyes and said “Mm.” After a while, he asked, “What about Little He?”

“The little madam came out once at three in the afternoon. He… asked around for the second young master’s contact information, and in the end, it was that young master from the Li family who told him. After that, the little madam returned to his room and hasn’t come out since.”

The study was so quiet that only the ticking of the wall clock could be heard. The subordinate lowered his head, surprised that there was no pheromone pressure in the room.

He secretly glanced at Mr. Chu and found that Chu Chuanbai was naturally spinning the fountain pen in his hand, his expression looking quite good. Chu Chuanbai asked in a gentle voice, “Why do you think Chu Chuanting has offended Little He?”

As a qualified worker, the ability to read people’s expressions had to be online at this time. The subordinate said with great certainty, “It must be because the second young master knows about the little madam’s relationship with you.”

Chu Chuanbai: “Hmm?”

“The second young master calls you ‘big brother’ with respect, but you must know what he’s thinking in his heart. So when he faces the little madam, he must have malicious intentions,” the subordinate said. “After all, you and the little madam are a family.”

Chu Chuanbai suddenly smiled. He put down the fountain pen and propped his face with his hand to look at the subordinate. Under the dim yellow light, his light-colored eyes revealed a sense of pleasure, and some other indistinguishable colors. The subordinate cautiously lowered his head and heard Chu Chuanbai say in a gentle voice, “I think so too. Although Little He and I have only known each other for less than a month, love is not something that can be stopped.”

The subordinate: “…That’s right.”

“Then do you think Little He likes me?” Chu Chuanbai changed the subject. “He hasn’t seen much of the world at the Shu family. Would he like a troublesome person like me?”

The subordinate: “Of course. Otherwise, why would the little madam stay here? He smiles every time he sees you, and he never refuses when you peel shrimp and pick up food for him. The little madam actually trusts you very much. Isn’t trust just like?”

Chu Chuanbai smiled and said, “You’re so observant. Do you stare at him every day?”

The subordinate: “…”

This was hard to say.

His brain was working at high speed, trying to prove that his feelings for the little madam were pure… well, not that pure, but in front of Mr. Chu, he had to pretend to be nonchalant.

Just as the subordinate was about to speak, Chu Chuanbai tapped the desk and said, “How’s the research?”

“It’s still in progress,” the subordinate said, wiping his sweat. “The progress is a little slow…”

Chu Chuanbai seemed to have thought of something and turned his head, not continuing this topic. If it were in the past, the subordinate would have heard him say in a seemingly smiling but actually cold tone to go and get rid of some people. But now, Chu Chuanbai was just silent.

After a while, the subordinate was ordered to get off work. Chu Chuanbai held his silver cane and walked through the long corridor to Shu He’s room.

Shu He was just about to go to sleep. Hearing a knock on the door, he climbed out of bed, a small cowlick sticking up on his head. The moment the door opened, the cowlick also swayed, and he said in surprise, “Chuanbai.”

It was almost twelve o’clock.

Chu Chuanbai looked as if he had just finished work not long ago, wearing a suit. He lowered his light-colored eyes, and the boy’s wide almond eyes were reflected in their depths. His voice was gentle and had an unnoticeable fatigue. “Little He.”

“It’s so late. What’s wrong?” Shu He stepped aside to let him in, his almond eyes landing on the silver cane in his hand. “Where’s the wheelchair?”

“There are no outsiders. There’s no need for that thing.” Just as Shu He was confused by this sentence, Chu Chuanbai turned his head back. “Little He seems to be very interested in that wheelchair.”

Shu He closed the door, and hearing this, he fiddled with his fingers. Chu Chuanbai said gently, “Are you curious about those wings? They can indeed fly.”

Shu He: “Wow…”

“The wings can’t fly very high. They’re designed like that to prevent some roads from being too slippery. It’s about… one meter, I think. I can teach you how to use it.” Chu Chuanbai half-closed his eyes and said, “Does Little He want to try?”

Shu He pursed his dimples, not expecting him to say such a thing. “That doesn’t seem very good…”

“What’s not good? In the end, it’s just a tool. There’s nothing wrong with using it as a hover car.” Chu Chuanbai smiled slightly and nodded for him to not stand, but to sit. Shu He sat on the edge of the bed and saw that Chu Chuanbai had also sat down on the sofa. His tall figure made this already huge room seem a little cramped.

“I came to find you tonight to confess and apologize.” Chu Chuanbai sighed.

Shu He tilted his head in a daze.

What apology? Did he do something bad to him?

Soon, Chu Chuanbai explained, “Do you remember what happened when you were drunk today?”

Shu He nodded and then shook his head, and said hesitantly, “I remember I was drunk, and then you carried me back. Besides that, I don’t remember anything else.”

Chu Chuanbai took off his black leather gloves and said naturally, “You remember that I carried you back? I thought you wouldn’t remember.”

Actually, he really didn’t remember clearly.

This was a recap from the system.

It also said that after Chu Chuanbai carried him back, it was a mosaic, and the meaning of the system being a mosaic… Shu He vaguely knew some of it.

He looked at Chu Chuanbai, his lips hesitatingly and gently pursed. Was he…

“This is what I want to confess and apologize for.”

Under Shu He’s confused gaze, Chu Chuanbai confessed frankly, “I have a strange illness. I need to touch people’s skin to relieve it. At that time, after I carried you away… I couldn’t help but touch you. I’m sorry. I touched your hands and legs, just a touch, a light touch.”

Shu He: “?”

“I offended you. I’ve been uneasy all day, worried that you would remember, and also afraid that you wouldn’t. After thinking about it, I still decided to confess to you.”

Chu Chuanbai lowered his eyes. He hadn’t rested all day for the birthday banquet. At this moment, being with Shu He, he seemed to have relaxed. His brow was filled with a faint fatigue, but his voice was gentle, and even revealed a hint of impeccable sincerity and harmlessness. “I’m really sorry. We’re not married yet, but I respect you and still want to take it slow with you.”

System: 【Impossible.】

System: 【Just touching skin, I couldn’t have been a mosaic for half an hour.】

System: 【Just touching skin, I might not even have been a mosaic.】

System: 【Just like when you shake hands and do a cheek-to-cheek greeting as a social etiquette, would I be blocked?!】

Shu He’s brain felt like it was soaked in water, gurgling.

He felt that the system seemed to be angry, but he didn’t understand why. He felt that Chu Chuanbai’s tone and attitude at this moment were also very contradictory, but he didn’t know why.

Villains and villains are on the same side… After repeating this sentence for a long time, Shu He finally found his weak, bird-like voice. “What… what strange illness?”

Seeing that his focus was on this, Chu Chuanbai paused, and then, for some reason, he lifted his lips and said gently, “In a broad sense, it’s called skin hunger. It can be relieved by skin contact with people. But besides you, I’ve never been so close to anyone. I’ve always relied on taking medicine to relieve it. To avoid the condition from getting worse, I usually wear gloves.”

Shu He looked at him in a daze. “So, so the red marks on my leg, you touched them?”

The light in the room was bright.

Chu Chuanbai’s brow always had a gentle smile. This was the mask he usually used to show people. At this moment, he watched the slender boy sitting on the edge of the bed. Under the bright light, the boy’s pale face was simple and clean, his voice stuttering but exceptionally direct as he asked about “red marks” and “you touched them,” which gave Chu Chuanbai an unexpected, special feeling.

This feeling was sticky, cramped, like forcefully breaking open a door that had been closed for a long time in a narrow space. Silently, he let out a hot breath, and with some apology, he covered his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “Little He, I think… I’m having an attack again.”
