Chapter 68: Roommate 28
Gu Xiu’s probing plan ended in a disastrous defeat.
Chen Beichuan had fulfilled all his willful requests without a single complaint. He had given up halfway through the queue, no problem.
His stomach was still full, but he saw the turkey legs and hot dog sticks on the side of the road and immediately imitated the child who was throwing a tantrum and being dragged away by his parents.
“Chen Beichuan, I want to eat. Buy it for me—”
Chen Beichuan decisively bought him one of each.
Gu Xiu’s two hands were full of spoils. He asked with a complicated mood, “Mm… aren’t you going to eat?”
“You eat first,” Chen Beichuan had his hands in his pockets, his eyes lazy. “Give it to me if you can’t finish.”
Gu Xiu: “…”
The novel didn’t say that the cold and aloof campus prince would eat someone else’s leftovers.
Chen Beichuan’s completely collapsed persona made Gu Xiu uncomfortable all the way. He couldn’t even deceive himself by saying that this was Chen Beichuan’s way of disgusting his annoying roommate. He had to force himself to stuff the two fist-sized portions of food into his stomach.
Not to mention, the taste was pretty good.
When he met up with the other four again, Gu Xiu had just swallowed the last bite of turkey, his mouth red.
007 smelled the food and quickly rushed up. “Jiu… Brother Gu Xiu! What delicious food are you eating?”
Look how hungry the system is.
Unfortunately, Gu Xiu was not a host who doted on his system. He said coldly, “The turkey leg I just bought, eighty yuan. Buy it yourself if you want to eat.”
007, a system, not even a person, was naturally empty-handed, without a single penny.
“Brother Beichuan! Can you buy me a big chicken leg…” 007 quickly changed his target, staring at Chen Beichuan with eager eyes, and used all his skills. “For the sake of us looking so much alike.”
Gu Xiu: “…” This stupid system stole someone’s data and even flaunted it in front of the person himself. With Chen Beichuan’s temper, it would be good if he didn’t beat him up!
Gu Xiu mourned for 007 in his heart.
“You’re Gu Xiu’s cousin,” but Chen Beichuan took his words, as if he were interested, and said slowly, “how can you look like me?”
“I don’t know either. Maybe it’s fate!” 007 could search the internet at any time to cheat. Sweet words and jokes came out of his mouth. He grinned and said foolishly, “Of course I also look like my cousin. I look like both of you. I’m the child of a leopard and a cat!”
Chen Beichuan: “Buy.”
“You see…” Gu Xiu was suddenly stuck, his face changed drastically, and he said in disbelief, “You’re really buying it for him?”
Chen Beichuan raised his eyebrows slightly and called his sister and Ji Ning over. “The food cart is over there. You guys can take a look too. We’ll buy whatever you want to eat.”
He was rich and extravagant, and incredibly handsome.
Chen Nanyuan’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Then we won’t be polite! Let’s go, let’s go—”
Ji Ning had come to today’s date with the determination to compete with Chen Beichuan. At the beginning, he had indeed shown off with his homemade bento box, but unfortunately, more than half of the bento box had gone into Chen Beichuan’s stomach.
Now, Chen Beichuan had waved his hand, and the snacks, which were severely overpriced by several hundred yuan, were treated as a treat. Everyone was smiling. Even he, his rival in love, had a share. Chen Beichuan’s methods and mentality were far superior to his.
Seeing Ji Ning holding a hot dog stick without moving for a long time, 007 keenly asked, “What’s wrong? Is it not good?”
Ji Ning gently shook his head. “It’s fine, it’s just a little hot.”
“Mmm, if you don’t want to eat it…” 007 smiled foolishly, eating what was in his bowl while looking at what was in the other’s hand, and said unceremoniously, “You can give it to me anytime.”
Ji Ning: “…”
“Ji Ning, don’t mind him. You can eat it yourself,” Gu Xiu went over to interrupt. “Hey, but it’s good to be like him occasionally, a little simpler, don’t overthink it. Look how happy he is… Mm, Ji Ning, you should eat more. Don’t be polite. It’s Chen Beichuan’s treat anyway.”
A ripple of emotion appeared in Ji Ning’s eyes. He smiled and nodded vigorously. “Mm.”
He took a bite of the fragrant hot dog stick and was called a few times by Chen Nanyuan. He decisively followed, no longer deliberately clinging to Gu Xiu behind him.
Gu Xiu and Chen Beichuan walked at the back of the six-person team.
Looking at the excited and screaming 007, Gu Xiu’s mood was gloomy, and he mumbled in a low voice, “Now he probably doesn’t want to go back.”
He’s experienced the good of being a human. What if he doesn’t want to be a system and goes on strike? And the big sucker host would have to pay points to exchange for a human skin.
“In a family,” Chen Beichuan said with a half-smile. Gu Xiu had a bad feeling as soon as he saw it. As expected, he heard him say with a hidden meaning, “a strict father and a kind mother, a kind father and a strict mother. It can’t be that both parents are too strict. That’s not conducive to a child’s growth.”
Gu Xiu: “…Get lost.”
From morning to night, a whole day, plus queuing, they had played all the rides at least once, and had also had a meal and a snack on Chen Beichuan’s dime. The first Disneyland trip was without regrets. After watching the fireworks at night, they returned with satisfaction.
The two girls were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as they got in the car. Chen Beichuan was still full of energy, chatting with Gu Xiu beside him while driving.
“Gu Xiu, winter break is coming soon. What are your plans?”
This was a difficult question for Gu Xiu.
The mission was not yet complete, and this novel world was still a semi-finished product. The people who were not related to the main plot had not been generated.
Currently, only the life trajectories of the protagonist gong and shou were complete. The protagonist gong’s family was briefly mentioned in the novel, but in reality, it was rich and three-dimensional. He even had a sister who did not exist in the novel. These were all the effects of the protagonist’s halo, and it also showed that he was the core that supported the operation of this world.
And Gu Xiu was just a scum gong ex-husband. In the plot, he would have to go completely offline before he would pack his bags and go back to his hometown in a dejected state. His family was not described in the novel, and the two protagonists had no contact with his family. Of course, he had no home now, and no place to go back to.
007, like a thief, observed the few of them and quietly reached out a hand from behind, pinching the end of Gu Xiu’s hair and connecting with his mental energy.
【Jiujiu!】 007 reminded. 【The protagonist gong will not go home this winter break. He has moved out to rent a place. The protagonist shou will stay in school to work part-time and will not go back to his hometown either. Their relationship will have a rapid development in the rental house. And then… of course, they will naturally do that. After the winter break, you will be off duty~】
【You know our great Jinjiang world. Ten protagonists together can’t even make up a pair of parents. Although Chen Beichuan has both parents and a wealthy family, his parents are in a business marriage. He doesn’t have much sense of belonging to that family either. It wasn’t until the protagonist shou appeared and melted his gradually frozen heart…】
Gu Xiu was too lazy to complain and only remembered that Chen Beichuan was going to rent a place outside. Then he could just stay in the dormitory and enjoy the green grass on his head.
Chen Beichuan glanced in the rearview mirror, his gaze sharp. “What are you doing?”
007 was startled. He remembered the few times he had almost been discovered when he was a ball. He let go of Gu Xiu’s hair and quickly retreated. “Ahem, nothing!”
Chen Beichuan’s thoughtful gaze lingered on his face for a while longer.
007 was so guilty that he shrank and turned his face away, pretending to be nonchalantly looking at the dark scenery outside the window.
After returning to the dormitory and washing up, Gu Xiu was still not sleepy. He opened the forum and was about to demand an explanation.
What kind of bad idea was that “bird breeder”! Not only did he not provoke Chen Beichuan today, but he even helped him fulfill his dream!
He brought his sunken post to the top and asked the other party with certainty, 【What does it mean if he really went to play with me? He even paid for the tickets and treated me to a meal. But he was happier than I was! It seems like he wanted to go to the amusement park in the first place…】
The bird breeder did not reply, but instead attracted a new group of onlookers.
125L: 【??? This post still has a follow-up?】
126L: 【Looking at the OP, could it be real? So it’s not a campus prince dream 0?】
129L: 【I’m not saying this to be mean, OP. What kind of bad idea did that big brother give you? You already suspect that your roommate likes you, and you still asked him out to play. Isn’t this a date? And you’re the one who took the initiative】
130L: 【+1, whether you like your roommate or not, it’s impossible to explain now. Take care, OP…】
131L: 【Did you just go to the amusement park today, hahaha? Be careful tonight, OP. Looking forward to the follow-up tomorrow [/dog head]】
Gu Xiu: “???”
The style of the forum was really improper. As expected of a Jinjiang gay world!
Thinking that all of this was probably Jinjiang’s fault, he calmed down a little and continued to read.
135L: 【Which amusement park did you go to? Could it be Di*ney? Your roommate spent so much money to take you out to play. What is this if not love?】
137L: 【Roommate is from CBC’s department. I saw on his Moments that he also went to Di*ney with GX today. What a coincidence?】
Gugujiu (runaway university student version): 【No, no… it’s just a coincidence! And we went with a group of people! He treated everyone, not just me!! He’s very rich and doesn’t lack this little bit!!!】
140L: 【He even paid for all your friends for a date with you? He’s really so in love, I’m not saying this to be mean】
142L: 【Rich ≠ generous. Your roommate not only wasted time on a date with you, but he also spent a huge sum of money for you. He really cares about you, ahhhhhh】
145L: 【OP, just give in～ It’s not a loss to be bent, hahahaha】
146L: 【You’re already bent without knowing it, hahahaha】
149L: 【OP, give up the struggle! You can’t be saved anymore! This one bend, it’s for a lifetime…】
Gu Xiu applied to delete the post in a fit of anger.
Who knew that in less than two minutes, it was directly rejected by the forum’s administrator, who didn’t sleep!
This made him so angry that he tossed and turned in bed.
Chen Beichuan on the opposite side was also tossing and turning.
Suddenly, Chen Beichuan pulled open the window curtain with a whoosh and got down from the upper bunk.
Gu Xiu thought he was going to the bathroom, but then he heard the sound of climbing the stairs on his side. He quickly sat up, and it was Chen Beichuan’s big face.
“What are you doing?” Gu Xiu was on high alert. “Don’t tell me you spilled water on the bed again!”
“No,” Chen Beichuan did not use that clumsy excuse again, and his expression was quite solemn. “Didn’t I tell you some things about my family today?”
Gu Xiu: “…Huh?”
Chen Beichuan sat down at the end of his bed. The night made people sentimental, and the cold and aloof campus prince also became a chatterbox, confiding in his roommate about his past. “When I was a child, I was always at home alone.”
“Once, I woke up in the middle of the night with a stomach ache, but the house was dark and there was no one. No matter how I shouted, no one answered me. When I went back, the bed was cold, and there were rustling strange sounds everywhere. The shadows of the trees outside the window were like ghosts, spying on me…”
Gu Xiu instantly got goosebumps and quickly interrupted, “Stop talking!”
Chen Beichuan revealed his true intentions little by little. “Gu Xiu, I’m so scared…”
That’s not an excuse to make him scared too by telling a horror story!
Gu Xiu covered his roommate’s broken mouth and said fiercely, “Chen Beichuan! What on earth do you want?”
Chen Beichuan’s hot palm covered the back of his hand, and his eyes, which were staring at him, were also scorching hot, containing the most sincere and pure emotions between a teenager and a young man.
“Gu Xiu, I want to sleep with you tonight.”
