Chapter 30: The Vicious Fake Rich Young Master 30

Su Wenyu swore he had never seen Zhou Xu’s eyes open so wide.

Those dark eyes were filled with furious, incredulous disbelief, and a trace of bewilderment—probably wondering if he hadn’t woken up yet.

520 beeped frantically, reporting that the Villain Value was starting to rise. Listening to 520’s voice, Su Wenyu softly coaxed Zhou Xu, “As long as you don’t make a sound, I’ll let go.”

What answered him was Zhou Xu’s furious glare.

Well then, no other choice. To prevent Zhou Xu from struggling too violently and waking their two roommates, Su Wenyu forcefully pressed his hand over Zhou Xu’s mouth, though he thoughtfully made sure to leave his nose uncovered to avoid suffocating him.

“Bro, don’t struggle. You don’t want anyone else to see us like this, do you?” Su Wenyu continued his devilish whispers. “Just be good. I’m not going to do anything.”

Zhou Xu: “…”

Even if he were going to do something, shouldn’t their positions be reversed?

Wait, no—with this position, you actually could do something.

Wait, that’s even more off.

Why was he even thinking about this?

He should viciously push Su Wenyu away and order him to get back to his own bed right now.

Zhou Xu thought it and wanted to act. He grabbed Su Wenyu’s hand covering his mouth, intending to shove him away.

But Su Wenyu, in order to keep his hand over Zhou Xu’s mouth, had at some point straddled himself over Zhou Xu’s side on his knees. When Zhou Xu pushed, Su Wenyu lost his balance and plopped right down onto Zhou Xu’s abdomen.

In that instant, Zhou Xu had probably already decided exactly where he would bury Su Wenyu.

Because Su Wenyu clearly felt the muscles beneath him instantly tense up, like a predator ready to pounce, wanting to bite him to death.

Su Wenyu immediately got scared.

He wasn’t afraid of Zhou Xu getting genuinely angry and biting him—he was afraid of waking the other two people in the dorm.

The mission stated very clearly: he had to make sure Zhou Xu couldn’t sleep tonight without waking the other two.

Su Wenyu immediately leaned back down. The instant Zhou Xu pulled his left hand away, his right hand pressed right back over his mouth, panicked. “Shh, don’t make a fuss. If they wake up, how are you going to explain us sleeping together?”

The commotion between the two wasn’t loud, but in the pitch-black night with the lights off, even the slightest noise was magnified infinitely. Their sounds of pushing and shoving, along with Su Wenyu’s hushed murmurs coaxing Zhou Xu to be good—they thought they were being quiet, but the other two only needed to listen closely to hear everything crystal clear.

Zhou Xu was truly about to laugh out of sheer anger.

What did he mean, “us sleeping together”?

With the two of them in this position right now, was this sleeping together?!

If not for the blanket covering Zhou Xu’s abdomen, given how thin summer clothes were, he suspected he’d be able to feel Su Wenyu’s body heat directly.

Just thinking about that made Zhou Xu so angry his face flushed.

“Are you crazy?” Zhou Xu straightforwardly seized both of Su Wenyu’s hands, controlling them with one hand while using the other to prop himself up. Furious to death yet forced to keep his voice down, he questioned Su Wenyu, “In the middle of the night, what do you want?”

The past week had been too peaceful for Zhou Xu. He thought Su Wenyu had finally settled down. He never expected he was just biding his time, waiting for roommates to move in so he could use the fear of being discovered to threaten him!

No wonder he couldn’t focus on his studies—his head was clearly filled with nothing but this twisted nonsense!

Su Wenyu was taken aback when Zhou Xu controlled his hands, afraid he would cry out.

Seeing that Zhou Xu only questioned him in a hushed voice, he instantly relaxed, but then shifted his butt a little uncomfortably, puzzled. “What’s poking my butt?”

Su Wenyu looked down. It was the blanket covering Zhou Xu, wrinkled and bunched up from their movements, and the corner of it was pressed right under his buttocks.

“Bro, move the blanket. It’s a bit uncomfortable sitting like this.” Su Wenyu wriggled restlessly, trying to shift the blanket out from under him.

Zhou Xu’s ears turned red with anger from his squirming.

He really wanted to know if Su Wenyu was pretending to be innocent or doing this on purpose!

Because Zhou Xu had propped up his upper body, Su Wenyu naturally slid down a little from his position on Zhou Xu’s abdomen.

The bunched-up blanket was one reason. The other reason… Zhou Xu felt any man would understand.

With Su Wenyu smelling so fragrantly throwing himself into his arms and even wriggling in his lap, Zhou Xu was about to explode.

“Behave yourself! What exactly do you want?!” Zhou Xu gritted his teeth, squeezing the words out through clenched jaws, wanting nothing more than to slap his butt.

How could someone climb into someone else’s bed so brazenly, and when discovered, not only not run away, but even wiggle around in his arms?!

Where on earth had he learned such methods of seduction?

If Zhou Xu weren’t a straight man, he’d truly make Su Wenyu understand what it meant to court disaster.

After being yelled at in a low voice, Su Wenyu felt a little wronged and whispered, “I just… felt the blanket was poking my butt.”

Zhou Xu ground his teeth: “Is the blanket the only thing under your butt?”

Although he was a straight man, he wasn’t dead.

Hearing this, Su Wenyu looked down, confused, as if trying to see what else was there besides the blanket.

Zhou Xu grabbed his chin, forcing his head back up: “What are you recklessly looking at?”

Su Wenyu felt even more wronged: “What’s wrong with you tonight? You’re so mean.”

Zhou Xu: “??”

He climbed into his bed. He sat on his body. And he was the one feeling wronged?!

His hands still held, Su Wenyu tried to struggle free, but Zhou Xu’s grip was strong and skilled, using some technique that made it impossible to break free no matter what.

After struggling for a while, Su Wenyu got tired. He simply gave up and collapsed against Zhou Xu’s body, finding a comfortable spot to nestle against his neck.

This works too. Let’s just sleep like this.

Su Wenyu closed his eyes, no longer caring about their current position. He had done this intentionally, anyway. As long as he clung to Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu—who hated gays—would definitely be so disgusted he couldn’t sleep. As long as he could sleep, that was enough.

The AC in the room was set very low, but Zhou Xu’s body was warm. Su Wenyu didn’t feel cold at all without a blanket. It was just that having his wrists pinned forced his arms awkwardly between them, which was a bit uncomfortable, but tolerable.

And so, under Zhou Xu’s shocked, reality-questioning gaze, Su Wenyu leaned against him, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

In the deep of the night, in a male dorm room, Zhou Xu sat on his bed, holding a boy in his arms, utterly dumbfounded.

Wait… he just fell asleep? Just like that?

Zhou Xu released his grip on Su Wenyu’s hands and tried shaking him awake, wanting him to go back to his own bed immediately.

Su Wenyu was displeased even by the shaking. The moment his hands were free, he wrapped both arms and legs tightly around Zhou Xu like an octopus, mumbling, “Stop messing around.”

Zhou Xu, now the one being blamed: “…”

Who was the one messing around here??

“Go back to your own bed and sleep.” Zhou Xu shook him again.

Pushing Su Wenyu away would be simple. With a little force, even the clingiest octopus could be plucked off by Zhou Xu.

But there were other people in the dorm right now, and Zhou Xu genuinely didn’t want their current position to be seen by anyone else.

It wasn’t that Zhou Xu was afraid of any misunderstandings between them. It was that the relationship between him and Su Wenyu was already complicated.

The new students might not know about them yet, but as long as Xia Yehang and Shen Yi had class group chats, freshman group chats, or browsed the campus forum, they would eventually learn that the two of them were non-blood-related brothers.

Non-blood-related brothers, holding each other and sleeping together in the dorm late at night.

If this got out, Su Wenyu would probably get exactly what he wanted, but Zhou Xu wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Zhou Xu wanted to check his phone for the time but was afraid the light would illuminate their current position more clearly. He could only resign himself to fate and lie down, pulling the entire blanket over Su Wenyu’s body, trying to hide him in a self-deceiving manner.

Su Wenyu’s head was covered, making it hard to breathe. So he burrowed and nuzzled against Zhou Xu’s chest, trying to stick his head out.

Zhou Xu irritably tugged the blanket down a bit. Once Su Wenyu’s nose was exposed, he immediately settled down, his arms and legs wrapped around Zhou Xu, head pillowed on Zhou Xu’s arm. The posture was as gay as could be.

Zhou Xu slightly turned his head. By the faint light coming in, he could see Su Wenyu’s eyes were closed, his eyelashes long, and he could hear his soft breathing.

Huh. He really was asleep.

Zhou Xu didn’t understand what Su Wenyu’s goal was in climbing into his bed in the middle of the night. Was it just to sleep in his arms for one night?

But he shouldn’t indulge Su Wenyu sleeping in his arms. He should have chased him back even if it meant waking the other two in the dorm.

Otherwise, if today he tolerates him in his arms, sleeping in his bed, tomorrow won’t he be taking off his clothes and sleeping with him?

The more Zhou Xu thought about it, the more he felt this couldn’t stand. Even if he was a younger brother, he shouldn’t be indulged to this extent.

He was a straight man, and Su Wenyu’s older brother. He couldn’t possibly reciprocate Su Wenyu’s feelings. He had to nip all these little schemes of Su Wenyu’s in the bud.

“Su Wenyu, if you don’t get up, I’m going to get angry.” Zhou Xu resorted to threats.

The sleeping Su Wenyu gave no response.

Zhou Xu simply decided to wait until he was asleep, then push away all the arms and legs tangled around him.

If you won’t go, I will!

Zhou Xu chose to give his bed to Su Wenyu and go sleep in Su Wenyu’s bed himself.

But Su Wenyu, who couldn’t be woken no matter what, suddenly jolted awake the moment Zhou Xu tried to push his arms away, hugging him even tighter. Dazedly, he asked, “Bro, what are you doing?”

Zhou Xu: “…”

“Are you pretending to be asleep?”

How could he not wake up when called, but the instant he’s touched, he wakes up??

Su Wenyu mumbled something again, indistinguishable. Probably telling Zhou Xu to be good, not to make trouble, he was so sleepy.

Zhou Xu: “…”

Haha.

Truly laughing out of anger.

In the dead of night.

Who wasn’t sleepy?

Su Wenyu was sleeping soundly in his arms, but did he ever consider whether he could sleep?

Zhou Xu felt like he was going insane.

But after deep consideration, Zhou Xu ultimately gave up struggling and decided to wait until dawn to chase Su Wenyu back. Then during the daytime, he’d give Su Wenyu a proper scolding.

He was going to make him understand what things he could do and what things he absolutely could not.

In the end, Zhou Xu didn’t sleep the entire night.

The person in his arms slept very obediently, holding him without moving at all, but had such a strong presence that Zhou Xu couldn’t even close his eyes and pretend he was a body pillow.

There was no body pillow that smelled so fragrant, was warm, and breathed.

For the whole night, Zhou Xu kept his eyes closed but couldn’t fall asleep, dark circles forming under his eyes from the sleepless night.

And the ones who also didn’t sleep were the other two people in the dorm.

After Xia Yehang and Shen Yi got into bed, neither had actually fallen asleep.

Xia Yehang hid under his blanket to play on his phone, afraid the light would disturb the others.

Shen Yi needed to adjust to the new dorm environment. Although his eyes were closed, he still needed time to brew drowsiness.

So when Zhou Xu and Su Wenyu were pushing and shoving, Xia Yehang and Shen Yi were already awake, listening clearly to their entire interaction.

Since they were awake from the start, there was naturally no “waking them up” to speak of. The System judged that Su Wenyu’s mission had not failed and let him continue.

Late at night, Xia Yehang hid under his blanket, eyes wide as bronze bells. Through the dim light filtering in from outside, he could clearly see the two entangled, embracing boys and their posture.

At the same time, in Xia Yehang’s mind, the scene he witnessed when he rushed back to the dorm in the evening replayed: Zhou Xu and Su Wenyu embracing, their faces very close, as if kissing.

At that time, Su Wenyu’s explanation was that he felt Zhou Xu’s body wash seemed to have changed, and its scent was a little different from his own.

Xia Yehang had believed it.

But now he felt he’d been a bit naive.

Thinking about it now, would normal brothers notice the other one changed body wash?

Would they wrap their arms around their brother’s neck to smell his scent like that?

Xia Yehang also had a brother. He and his brother couldn’t stand the sight of each other. Not to mention hugging like that—even being in the same room for too long made them dislike each other.

The brotherly relationship between Su Wenyu and Zhou Xu was abnormal.

It was also at this moment that Xia Yehang realized their last names were different and they didn’t look alike at all. Were they real brothers or fake brothers?

Could it be his guess from that evening was correct? Was the brother relationship just part of their play?

Then what about him and Shen Yi? Was their existence in this dorm also part of their play?

So Su Wenyu and Zhou Xu were also gay?

And so adventurous… dorm play…

Xia Yehang was only grateful he wasn’t wearing his heart rate monitor watch today. Otherwise, with tonight’s events, his heart rate would have definitely exceeded safe levels and set off the alarm.

Just as Xia Yehang’s thoughts were running wild, the commotion on the bed opposite finally stopped.

Peeking through a gap in his blanket, Xia Yehang could see Zhou Xu lying down, holding Su Wenyu. Their posture was ambiguous. Very un-straight.

Then, after waiting a few more minutes to confirm the two had fallen asleep in each other’s arms, Xia Yehang shakily picked up his phone, hid deeper under his blanket, and sent a message to Shen Yi: [Are you asleep?]

Shen Yi: [.]

Though only a period replied, Xia Yehang understood. Shen Yi hadn’t fallen asleep either.

[So did you see their… you know?] Xia Yehang asked.

Shen Yi: [.]

Got it. He saw.

[So… what’s their relationship?] Xia Yehang asked carefully.

Shen Yi: […] How would he know?

Xia Yehang persisted: [Are they gay?]

Shen Yi: [.]

Through Shen Yi’s period, Xia Yehang received an affirmative answer.

True.

If they weren’t gay, why would they sleep in each other’s arms?

Xia Yehang asked again: [Don’t you feel anything about this?]

Shen Yi finally deigned to type: [What feeling? We’re all gay. You’re not looking down on them, are you?]

Xia Yehang: [That’s not what I meant. I just… aren’t they brothers…]

[I also quite like Su Wenyu. I’m just agonizing over what their relationship really is. Do you think I still have a chance?]

Shen Yi: […]

How was he supposed to answer that? The two on the opposite bed were still holding each other as they slept. What do you think, do you have a chance?

[Give up.] Shen Yi replied.

Then Shen Yi put his phone away and refused to respond to any more of Xia Yehang’s message bombardments.

He slightly turned his face to look at the two entangled figures on the opposite bed. In his mind echoed Su Wenyu’s voice, hushed and thus sounding rather obedient, almost coquettish, from earlier.

Xia Yehang wasn’t the only one whose heart moved and was instantly lovesick.

Shen Yi’s thin lips pressed together. He felt he couldn’t afford to brood internally and decided to ask Su Wenyu tomorrow, face-to-face, to clarify their relationship.

But this night, all three in the dorm were destined for a sleepless night.

That night, only Su Wenyu was asleep.
