The Crematorium’s Scum Gong Gets to Clock Off After Being Replaced 66

Chapter 66: Roommate 26

Gu Xiu was woken up by Chen Beichuan, who reminded him to get ready to go to Disneyland.

Gu Xiu rubbed his hair, which was a mess of straw, and looked at the dimly lit sky outside the window with dazed eyes. He thought to himself, I really don’t know who’s being tested.

Early in the morning, his hardworking roommate was already dressed and ready to go. He was wearing a textured, loose gray coat, his hair was carefully styled, and he was wearing a pair of mature, silver-rimmed half-frame glasses.

Gu Xiu was suddenly stunned. He stared at the glasses, and in an instant, a strong sense of familiarity gushed from his heart, calling him to get closer.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Beichuan frowned slightly and asked sharply, “Who are you thinking of again?”

Gu Xiu suppressed that strange sense of familiarity and also frowned and asked, “Aren’t you not nearsighted?”

“I’ll wear them if I want to. Aren’t we going to an amusement park today? It’s good for photos and can also block the sun,” Chen Beichuan said. “I’ve also prepared a pair for you.”

Gu Xiu dragged his not yet fully awake body out of bed and grumbled, “I don’t need to wear glasses. I have good eyesight, 5.3. I’m gifted. Even if you’re a hundred meters away, I can still see what kind of g… mmm!”

Unexpectedly, the cool glasses were placed on Gu Xiu’s nose.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, wary of dizziness.

Chen Beichuan said, “They’re non-prescription.”

Gu Xiu didn’t quite believe him and carefully opened his eyes little by little.

What he saw was a pair of rippling gray eyes. With the addition of the silver-rimmed glasses, the smile was rarely gentle.

When he was discovered, Chen Beichuan quickly suppressed his smile and said stiffly, “I’ve also prepared clothes for you to wear out.”

Gu Xiu had already reached the second part of the crematorium plot and no longer needed brand-name clothes to maintain his persona. He arrogantly turned his face away. “I don’t care about your clothes.”

But Chen Beichuan said, “You don’t know. My mom bought all these flashy clothes for me, so they don’t match my usual style.”

This was the first time Gu Xiu had heard about Chen Beichuan’s family. Even the novel didn’t describe the details much, only that his parents were in a business marriage, a powerful alliance, and were particularly rich.

Gu Xiu couldn’t help but feel a little curious.

Chen Beichuan’s eyes were cold, and his tone was flat, as if he were just telling a story that had nothing to do with him. “My parents have no feelings for each other. They’re both busy with work and are rarely at home. Later, when Chen Nanyuan was born, all their attention was on their daughter. When I grew up, they probably felt that they owed me, so they often bought me this and that.”

Gu Xiu was slightly stunned and didn’t know how to respond.

“I guarantee they’re all your favorites,” Chen Beichuan brought over a pile of clothes. “Colorful, flashy…”

These clothes all followed the style that Gu Xiu had favored when he was a thief. Of course, he didn’t think his aesthetic was vulgar. It was just that most of these styles were relatively new, and some even had the tags still on.

Looking at the clothes Chen Beichuan had prepared for him, a dark coffee old-fashioned sweater, a crocodile leather belt, and light coffee casual pants with a checkered pattern… a warm and vibrant winter color scheme.

There was only one milky white down jacket, with no other choice.

Gu Xiu glanced at the plainly dressed but inexplicably high-end Chen Beichuan. He was wearing a milky white sweater under his gray coat, which was very eye-catching and about the same color as the down jacket.

Since it was offered to him, he didn’t mind having more beautiful new clothes. Just as Gu Xiu was about to try them on, Chen Beichuan suddenly spoke again, “If you were a little bird, you’d definitely be the kind of gray tit with only black, white, and gray. That’s why you like such bright and beautiful clothes so much. And you’re jealous of the parrot.”

Gu Xiu was choked and retorted with a lack of confidence, “…Nonsense! I’m a person!”

“And white feathers are beautiful, clean, and shiny in the sun. You don’t have to be afraid of natural enemies in the wild. You can just hide in the snow and you won’t be seen.”

Gu Xiu subconsciously defended the tit for a long time. Chen Beichuan just looked at him with a half-smile.

Gu Xiu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, closed his mouth, turned around, and changed his sweater.

“Then what about this scarf? Gray, is that okay?” Chen Beichuan picked up a scarf. It looked like it was made of the same wool as his coat, very warm.

To prove himself, Gu Xiu took it without hesitation. “It’s good. Gray is high-end. I like it.”

Chen Beichuan said with a smile, “I think so too.”

He was just wearing a gray coat. Gu Xiu came to his senses and felt as if he were praising him. He quickly clicked his tongue and stopped talking, and tied the same-colored gray scarf.

The top and pants Gu Xiu was wearing were both a bit flashy. The white down jacket and gray scarf on the outside just happened to neutralize the tacky nouveau riche feel. The plain gray and white also looked as if they had been stolen from Chen Beichuan beside him.

The five-person team had arranged to meet at the school gate. Chen Nanyuan was chatting and laughing with her sisters. When the two arrived, she waved enthusiastically and introduced her sisters to the two.

The two girls looked excited and thrilled at the same time. It was clear that they had been on the A University forum and had been shipping CPs.

“Huh? Are you guys… wearing a couple’s outfit?” Chen Nanyuan’s gaze went back and forth between the two, her eyes slowly widening, and finally, they lit up. “Hey, and you have couple’s glasses!”

“…Huh?” Gu Xiu was stunned and subconsciously explained, “Oh, these are all Chen Beichuan’s clothes, and the glasses are his too.”

It’s normal for the color and style to be the same!

But the two girls were even more excited, jumping up and down. “Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh—”

Gu Xiu: “…”

“Oh, right,” Chen Nanyuan slightly calmed her joyful heart and looked left and right. “Isn’t Lingling coming with us?”

007 heard the sound, and the small silver ball of light quickly popped out. Unfortunately, Chen Nanyuan couldn’t see him at all.

Gu Xiu made up a lie. “He’s in his hometown.”

007 spun around him at high speed for several circles, making him dizzy, and showed its dissatisfaction with its actions.

Gu Xiu waved his hand in the air and warned 007 in his mind: 【Humans and systems have different paths. Don’t even think about it.】

007: 【Ahhhhhhh, aoooooo!】

Gu Xiu: 【Shut up.】

007: 【Wuwuwuwu, yiii—】

Gu Xiu: 【So noisy!】

“Gu Xiu,” Chen Beichuan’s voice suddenly sounded. With his glasses on, he looked particularly sharp, with the temperament and style of an outstanding young teacher. He had one hand in his pocket and glanced at Gu Xiu, asking, “Who are you talking to?”

“!”

007 immediately quieted down and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Gu Xiu was also startled. He turned his face away and explained, “I was just wondering why Ji Ning hasn’t come yet…”

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Today, Ji Ning was not dressed up so exquisitely. He was wearing his comfortable large black-framed glasses and was jogging all the way, panting. A thin layer of mist had steamed up on his lenses.

He walked up to Gu Xiu and actively showed his unique specialty. “Gu Xiu, have you had breakfast? I made sandwiches, sushi, and rice balls, and also milkshakes…”

Gu Xiu had long known from the script that the protagonist shou of this world was self-abased, sensitive, and had a delicate mind. In terms of love, he was the virtuous and considerate type.

But after all, it was a Jinjiang world. According to the unwritten rule, after he got together with the protagonist gong, he could lie flat with a clear conscience and comfortably be a little good-for-nothing. The protagonist gong would take care of all the money-making and housework, and even bathing him and changing his socks was not a problem.

And he still had the “high and mighty campus prince” persona, hehe.

However, the current Chen Beichuan showed no signs of washing his hands and making soup for love. The protagonist shou, on the other hand, was becoming more and more skillful day by day, bringing a bento box he had made himself, with a rich variety and excellent color, aroma, and taste.

“These cooked foods can’t be brought in, right?” Chen Beichuan said quite disappointingly.

Ji Ning was well-prepared. “It’s fine. The portion is not much. We can just eat it in the car. Gu Xiu, you should eat more. I’ve checked the strategy. The things in Disneyland are expensive and not good…”

“I haven’t had breakfast either,” Chen Beichuan suddenly reached out and accurately snatched the sandwich that Gu Xiu had his eye on. He stuffed it in his mouth and greeted, “Let’s go, get in the car.”

Gu Xiu held the food box and sat in the passenger seat.

“Eat a few less bites,” Chen Beichuan’s peripheral vision was always on the restless Gu Xiu, who would be uncomfortable if he didn’t annoy people for a minute. “Are you going to throw up on the roller coaster and the drop tower later? Are you going to make me pay for the mental damage of the person in front of you?”

Gu Xiu: “…” Is this person annoying or not?

Of course, he didn’t listen. He deliberately took a piece of sushi and put it in his mouth in slow motion, chewing while provocatively looking at the person who was driving, and letting out a satisfied and enjoyable hum.

Chen Beichuan couldn’t stop Gu Xiu from eating, so he found another way to snatch his food. He even used his status as a hardworking driver to make a request. “I’m hungry. Give me a piece of sushi.”

His two hands were on the steering wheel, and the elevated bridge ahead was endless, with no sign of a traffic light.

This time, only the passenger in the passenger seat could help.

Chen Beichuan even opened his mouth to the passenger seat. “Ah.”

Gu Xiu: “…”

He turned the sushi he was about to enjoy himself and stuffed it into Chen Beichuan’s mouth.

Chen Beichuan had successfully snatched the food, was satisfied, and his gray eyes squinted in comfort.

Gu Xiu suddenly said again, “Open your mouth.”

Chen Beichuan tilted his head to catch it.

Another fat sushi with rich ingredients.

Chen Beichuan’s mouth was almost full, but Gu Xiu was not done. “Open it again!”

“Mmm.”

Gu Xiu stuffed it in hard.

Eat! Eat until you die!

After three pieces of sushi in a row, both of Chen Beichuan’s cheeks were bulging, and his mouth was full, but the corners of his eyes were curved in a smile.

His broken mouth can’t be opened now, right! Gu Xiu hummed in satisfaction, and then Chen Nanyuan’s voice came from the back seat, “Aiyo, aiyo, I’m full too. That’s enough, that’s enough.”

The five of them had set off early and had entered Disneyland without much queuing.

It had taken them almost an hour to get there. They had eaten snacks and drunk drinks in the car. Chen Nanyuan suggested that she and her sisters go to the bathroom first.

The two girls both had bags. Chen Beichuan had his hands in his pockets and looked as if it had nothing to do with him. Chen Nanyuan’s eyes darted around, and she decisively asked Ji Ning for help. “Ji Ning, are you going to the bathroom? Can you help us hold our bags? We’ll help you hold yours later…”

007 was still making a racket in Gu Xiu’s mind: 【I, I, I’ll help you hold it!】

Gu Xiu: “…”

He had been careless for a moment, and the small ball of light had flown out directly, straight into the bushes not far away. Gu Xiu “hissed.” He estimated that this guy was going to change into his human skin again.

How should I put it? He didn’t change earlier. If he had changed earlier, he could have gotten another ticket from Chen Beichuan.

And Ji Ning, a little 0 with a heart that belonged to someone else, was in a dilemma when he received the beauty’s request.

Gu Xiu directly spoke to drive everyone away. “You guys can go to the bathroom. I’m going to the theme store over there—”

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already run out.

Chen Nanyuan immediately smiled and said to Ji Ning, “Then I’ll have to trouble you! Senior～ you’re so nice, unlike my brother, who’s not considerate, not meticulous, and doesn’t know how to cherish the fairer sex. He deserves to not find a girlfriend!”

Ji Ning: “…”

Chen Nanyuan’s words had a clear effect. He nodded and proved with his actions that he deserved to have a girlfriend. “Mm, I’ll hold them for you. You guys can go.”

Chen Beichuan sneered coldly, but he was not angry. He was free and easy. He followed the direction Gu Xiu had left and went to find him.

Gu Xiu had just finished scolding the mischievous humanoid 007 when he turned around and ran into Chen Beichuan, who had come looking for him. He was so scared that his heart almost stopped.

Chen Beichuan didn’t pay much attention to the boy who was squatting behind him and pretending to be transparent. He just said to him, “They’ve all gone to the bathroom. I see the queue is quite long, so it’ll take a while. Shall we go and browse the theme store?”

The store in the morning was already very lively, especially with the girls and purchasing agents who had come early to grab the goods. All sorts of plush cartoon merchandise, a dazzling array, and a dreamy color.

Gu Xiu and Chen Beichuan, two big boys, walked in, a little out of place, and also out of place with the cute atmosphere around them.

The two of them had no idea what to buy, and they didn’t understand the use of some of the merchandise. After looking around, only the headbands were the most practical and friendly.

Chen Beichuan picked up a pink plush headband and asked Gu Xiu, “What is this?”

Gu Xiu was not in a good mood. “…How would I know!” As a native of this world, how could Chen Beichuan have the nerve to ask him!

Chen Beichuan was still unbelievably good-tempered. He held up the headband and gestured on Gu Xiu’s head, then he shook his head. “Wrong.”

He put back the pink pointed-ear headband and picked up a purple and pink long-eared one. He looked at it and said with certainty, “This is a rabbit.”

Gu Xiu: “…” He was like a kindergarten student learning to recognize pictures.

Chen Beichuan was engrossed. Gu Xiu just felt embarrassed and was about to sneak away.

“That’s StellaLou. She’s very popular,” a girl kindly introduced to the two. “Are you… buying for your girlfriend?”

Chen Beichuan pulled back Gu Xiu, who was trying to escape, and said, “For him.”

Gu Xiu quickly refused, “I don’t want this kind of thing!”

Chen Beichuan didn’t care and asked the girl again, “Do you have a little bird headband?”

“Mm… I don’t think so,” the girl said hesitantly. “Little birds don’t have ears, do they?”

“Of course little birds have ears. How can an animal not have ears!?” Gu Xiu suddenly became talkative and said in a rigid manner, “It’s just that they don’t have upright ears, because upright ears would affect their flight. Birds are very smart and have evolved them away.”

Chen Beichuan burst out laughing.

Gu Xiu heard it and immediately bumped him with his elbow.

“This one, then. The silver one,” Chen Beichuan nimbly dodged and even took the opportunity to put a headband on his head.

“What is this…” Gu Xiu raised his hand to touch it. It was not soft but prickly, and it seemed to have a lot of sequins.

The girl said enthusiastically, “That’s Mickey. It looks good on you.”

“I’ll have one too,” Chen Beichuan took another black Mickey ear and put it on himself.

Gu Xiu’s every hair was originally resisting the ornament that Chen Beichuan had put on his head, but when he looked up and saw the other’s comical appearance with mouse ears, he immediately forgot about his own business and laughed out loud without any politeness.

“Thanks,” Chen Beichuan thanked the girl with a good temper, and then he pulled Gu Xiu to a deserted place.

Chen Beichuan, as a native of this world, actually didn’t recognize any of the popular characters in the amusement park. He didn’t know what he was picking and choosing on the shelves. He would occasionally ask Gu Xiu a few questions, and of course, he wouldn’t get an answer.

Chen Beichuan was not annoyed. He caressed the plush pendant in his hand, rubbing it like he was petting a bird, and then he said to Gu Xiu, “Didn’t I tell you before that my parents were in a business marriage?”

Gu Xiu: “Huh?”

Chen Beichuan lifted his eyes, his misty gray eyes’ emotions hard to read. “They promised to take me to an amusement park every year, but they broke their promise every year, until I grew up and no longer needed it.”

The script Gu Xiu had didn’t say these things. He didn’t know how to respond for a moment and was speechless for a long time.

Chen Beichuan curled his lips, and his hand mischievously flicked his sequined ear. Before Gu Xiu could flare up, he said again, “You came to the amusement park with me today, and you even went to the theme store with me. I’m very happy.”

Huh?

Gu Xiu was stunned again.

He was clearly trying to challenge the protagonist gong’s bottom line! But how did he end up fulfilling the protagonist gong’s long-cherished wish by a fluke?

“No…”

He was about to argue.

“Gu Xiu,” Chen Beichuan interrupted. “Over there, let’s take a photo together in the mirror like them. I want to post it on my Moments and let them know that I can be very happy without them.”

Even though Gu Xiu’s description of Chen Beichuan in the forum had always been “annoying roommate,” seeing his pitiful look, he really couldn’t say anything harsh, nor could he refuse.

“Alright, they’re gone.”

The best friends who were taking a photo in front of the full-length mirror left, and Chen Beichuan immediately called Gu Xiu over.

The two girls hadn’t gone far. They looked like college students in their early twenties. One pulled the other and whispered something in her ear, and then the two of them looked over together, showing a slightly surprised expression.

Then they covered their mouths, quietly took a few steps back, for fear of disturbing Gu Xiu and Chen Beichuan, who had come to take a picture.

“Here, this is quite cute,” Chen Beichuan casually stuffed a fluffy doll into Gu Xiu’s hand.

While Gu Xiu was trying to identify the species of the doll, Chen Beichuan unbuttoned his coat, revealing the milky white sweater inside, which echoed Gu Xiu’s down jacket.

After Gu Xiu had finished his research, he turned his head and saw an enlarged handsome face, which gave him a big shock.

“…Why are you so close!”

“I’m looking for an angle.”

Chen Beichuan’s face was unchanged. His phone camera was facing the mirror, and his own face was facing Gu Xiu.

“My side profile is better.”

Gu Xiu: “…”

He looked at the mirror. Chen Beichuan still seemed to be dissatisfied. He tilted his head and leaned close to Gu Xiu’s ear, as if to kiss him but not.

Gu Xiu saw Chen Beichuan’s side profile gradually approaching in the mirror. The silver sequined mouse ears first touched Chen Beichuan’s forehead, and then the sensitive and cool human auricle. He was burned by the hot breath, and he subconsciously dodged.

“Hey, Gu Xiu, it’s just a photo.”

The photo was blurry. Chen Beichuan pulled him back and took it again.

“Gu Xiu… don’t move.”

The helpless and scolding voice was filled with a hint of a smile and doting. “We’ve already slept together. Why are you still so much of a stranger?”
