Everyone Knows I’m a Good Person

Editor: yummers

Shi Qing hastily snorted coldly with his usual domineering and arrogant expression when he saw Zhuo Junli staring at him in shock.

"What are you looking at?! Did I say you could look at me?!"

Zhuo Junli hid his earlier doubts and obediently lowered his head.

His tone was weak as he said, "I really don't have that type of relationship with Tong Xinyu. As I said, I didn't take the bread. If you like her, then go after her."

Why always pick on him instead?

"What's the point of chasing after her? You're the only one in her heart."

Shi Qing used his other hand to grab the youth in front of him by the collar. Zhuo Junli had no choice but to close the distance between them.

The handsome face of the school bully was filled with anger.

"Zhuo Junli, did you really think I wouldn't know? You didn't take the bread, but what about the eraser she gave you three days ago?"

"And last week Tuesday night during study hall, didn't you explain a question to her when she asked?"

"And the week before that, didn't you do her classroom chores for her? Why would a top student like you waste 15 minutes on her if you guys weren't together? Do you think I'm dumb? Or blind?!"

Zhuo Junli, "…….."

How did Shi Qing remember these things when he couldn't even recall them?

It was just an eraser. Two weeks ago, Tong Xinyu had a stomach ache because of her period and asked him for a favour. It was natural to help her, ah.

All the students who wanted to do well came to him for an explanation when they had a question.

As for the eraser…

Zhuo Junli pursed his lips slightly. After explaining the other two incidents, he lowered his voice and continued, "That eraser was something she just happened to pick up. She gave it to me because she didn't want it. I've bought that kind before. It's only 50 cents at the school store so it's pretty cheap. So I…"

"So you took it."

Shi Qing ominously spoke through clenched teeth, "Don't you know these erasers are sold as a pair?! You're using a blue piglet and she's using a red one!!"

Although it wasn't the best time, weirdly enough, Zhuo Junli wanted to laugh a little at how seriously angry the school bully was over two piglets.

That wasn't the only bone Shi Qing had to pick with him. He gnashed his teeth as his right index finger viciously stabbed Zhuo Junli's collarbone as he spoke.

"Fifty cents for an eraser. Fifty cents from you, fifty cents from her, put it all together, isn't that one dollar? You guys are blatantly showing off your love! You're supposed to be smart, so why can't you follow this kind of simple logic?! How can you not be in caboots with her?!

Zhuo Junli, "It's cahoots."

Shi Qing, "…….."

After a few seconds, the school bully furiously roared in embarrassment.

"I know! I just like to say it differently! Do you have a problem with that?!"

Zhuo Junli was silent for a few seconds. He opened his mouth under the school bully's threatening gaze. "Then I'll return the eraser to Tong Xinyu."

Only then did Shi Qing withdraw his hand, satisfied. "That's more like it."

"You better remember what you promised me. If I see anything from her on your desk again tomorrow, I'll throw it all in the trash! Okay. Let's go."

He pushed Zhuo Junli forward.

As Zhuo Junli walked, he felt that something wasn’t right.

According to his deductions, Shi Qing was jealous that Tong Xinyu gave him little trinkets. So why didn’t he just take those things for himself?

His steps slowed as he pondered this. As a result, the school bully that was trailing him immediately urged again in a vicious voice.

"Are you a rabbit?! Hurry up! Are you trying to slow down and freeze me to death?!"

Zhuo Junli looked at Shi Qing who came to his side after saying this. He was wearing a down jacket and was also covered up snugly everywhere else.

Then, he looked down at the sweater on his own body.

Why did it seem that he was the one at risk of freezing to death instead of Shi Qing?

However, the school bully who had always been self-centered couldn't care less about these details. He couldn't stand how slowly Zhuo Junli was walking, so he pulled his arm, and ran at a furious pace back to their dormitory.

When he opened the door, there was even some sweat on Shi Qing's forehead from his sudden exertion. He immediately took off his down jacket once he was inside.

Then he urged Zhuo Junli, "Hurry up and take a shower! You stink after being in the washroom for so long!"

Zhuo Junli responded affirmatively and opened his locker to get his clothes.

He liked cleanliness a lot, but ever since he started living with Shi Qing, his showers have always been cut short. Sometimes the school bully even kicked at the door when there were still bubbles in his hair.

This time, he was taking a quick shower like he usually would, but there were no movements outside.

Zhuo Junli couldn't shake off the strange feeling he had. He was tense as he kept a sharp eye on his surroundings. He was afraid that Shi Qing was planning some kind of mischief again.

But when he came out, Shi Qing was just leaning on the bed with one of his legs crossed over the other, playing video games. There was even a toothpick in his mouth.

He really was good looking, or else this posture wouldn't be so pleasing to the eye.

"Yo. You're finally finished."

The school bully raised his head at the noise. He looked Zhuo Junli up and down while he was drying his wet hair with a towel and whistled.

"Hey, where are you sleeping tonight?"

Where else could Zhuo Junli sleep?

None of the other dorms would take him in because of Shi Qing going around warning people.

Going to the teacher and pissing off this young master would only make things worse for himself later.

He could only stand beside his bed and turn over the bedding.

"I'll just sleep on the bed."

"On that bed?" Shi Qing got up. He went to Zhuo Junli's bedside in his slippers and touched his bedding.

"Your bed is so wet. How can you sleep here?" He said this extremely righteously, as if he wasn't the one who had poured water on Zhuo Junli's bed.

Zhuo Junli wasn't angry either.

If he became angry at everything Shi Qing did, he would've had a stroke long ago.

He flipped his blanket over. "This side isn't too wet. I'll sleep on this side."

"Oh…"

Shi Qing acted like he had just figured something out.

He nodded and turned to go to the bathroom.

Zhuo Junli didn't bother with him. He sullenly tidied up his bed, trying to minimize the wet spots that could touch his skin.

The sound of the faucet running came from the washroom.

After a while, when Zhuo Junli was halfway through flipping the bedding, he suddenly heard Shi Qing's flippant voice from behind.

"Hey, get out of the way."

The youth turned his head in a daze and saw Shi Qing standing behind him with a basin of water.

"Tsk."

When Shi Qing saw that he was just standing there staring at him, he raised his eyebrows impatiently.

"Are you deaf? I told you to get out of the way. Move or I'll throw this on you."

Zhuo Junli could only get up and move to the side. His eyes followed Shi Qing who walked beside his bed. "What are you……." doing.

Shi Qing was humming as he very slowly and methodically sprinkled water over the parts of the bed that were still dry.

After that, the bed was 100% unsleepable.

He tossed the basin to the floor in a good mood.

"Now tell me again. Where are you going to sleep tonight?"

Zhuo Junli, "…….."

He clenched his fists. A pair of light brown eyes gradually became tinged with anger.

Even a person made of mud had a temper. Moreover, his good-natured and easily bullied temperament was just a mask he put on because he was less powerful than this person.

Shi Qing!

You've gone too far!

As his fists grew tighter and tighter, Shi Qing raised an eyebrow with an unfettered and smug smile. He pulled Zhuo Junli over to his own bed and pushed him onto it.

His bed was covered with high quality bedding that was both soft and fluffy. When Zhuo Junli fell onto it, his entire body sank in halfway. His clenched fists loosened.

After he came to his senses, he braced his hands on the bed to sit up, only to be pushed back down by Shi Qing. He sunk right back in.

So Zhuo Junli could only stay like this, enveloped in the soft blanket. He stared at the school bully who was standing and looking down on him from above.

The corners of the school bully's mouth were raised, like he was saying "I'm being merciful."

"Since you can't sleep in your bed, you can sleep with me from now on."

"There's no need to be too grateful. If you stay away from Tong Xinyu, you'll find that I'm a pretty agreeable person."

This was said like he wasn't the one who had wet the blanket in the first place.

Zhuo Junli, "…….."

"Okay, now finish blow drying your hair. Don't get my bed wet too."

Unsure of what was going on right now, Zhuo Junli could only take everything in stride.

"I don't have a hairdryer."

Actually, all of the school dormitories came equipped with a hairdryer, but Young Master Shi Qing thought the provided model was hard to use so he threw theirs away.

The original owner did have a good hairdryer, but Zhuo Junli, who was currently penniless, and only had money on his meal card, could only air-dry his hair.

"Tsk."

Shi Qing went to the cabinet. He found his hair dryer and tossed it over. "I'll let you use mine for now."

Three minutes later.

Zhuo Junli was seated on a chair blow drying his hair. As he did so, he turned to look at Shi Qing who was behind him,burrowed under his blanket while playing games.

Perhaps noticing his gaze, the school bully raised his head and frowned impatiently. He freed a hand to pat the pillow next to him.

"Why are you so slow?! Hurry up! I'm so tired."

Zhuo Junli, "…….."

He still felt that something didn't seem right.

Short hair was easy to dry and Shi Qing's hair dryer was from a name brand. Very soon, Zhuo Junli's hair was dried to the bone.

He placed the hairdryer away slowly, and was about to clean the dormitory before going to bed like he usually did. However, when he picked up the broom, Shi Qing—who had been gaming—looked up with an even more impatient expression.

"Why are you sweeping?! I'll have them do it for me tomorrow. Hurry up and get over here or I'll come down there and drag you over myself!"

For some reason, Zhuo Junli constantly felt that the expression on Shi Qing's face looked like he was a bit…anticipating?

He also seemed somewhat excited.

As soon as he sat down on the edge of the bed and took off his shoes, he was dragged onto the bed.

"You sleep on the inside."

Like he was afraid that Zhuo Junli would run away, the school bully shoved his roommate inside, and wrapped the entire person tightly under the warm blanket. Then, he sat up uneasily and tucked the stiff Zhuo Junli in.

After that, Shi Qing stretched out his hand and turned off the light.

He dove under the blanket, then impatiently and unceremoniously hugged Zhuo Junli like an octopus.

As soon as Zhuo Junli moved in discomfort, he was rudely scolded, "Behave yourself! If you don't behave, I won't let you sleep in my bed!"

It looked like he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight.

Zhuo Junli stared out into the pitch black darkness. There was a warm and scalding heat source beside him.

…Something definitely wasn't right here.
