Everyone Knows I’m a Good Person

Chapter 54

Editor: SimoB

Zhuo Junli had indeed seen Tong Xinyu.

To be precise, it was because he saw Tong Xinyu that he gave away the red string right then and there, instead of back at the dormitory like he had planned.

As he had hoped, Shi Qing's red string was also on his wrist.

On the way back, while the two of them didn't hold hands or do anything else, they did huddle close together.

Under the streetlights, the long shadows cast by their slender legs seemed to blend together as they walked past.

They walked through the small path around the school.

They passed by the track in the front as well.

They climbed up the stairs together.

Finally, they arrived at the dormitory and took a shower.

With the same scent of body wash covering them both, they nestled into bed together to…

-To go over the textbook.

Shi Qing recited, and Zhuo Junli listened.

The house was air-conditioned and warm. Both of them were in their pajamas and sitting up on the bed.

Neither Shi Qing nor Zhuo Junli had any books in their hands. Those were under their pillows.

After all, if Shi Qing needed to memorize the textbook, Zhuo Junli could recite it word for word.

So the school bully just leaned on him, with his long legs pressing down on Zhuo Junli's body wantonly.

He could feel the other's body heat.

He especially felt something from the red string that he gave him.

It was a very different feeling.

The simple little string with a simple weave was enough to settle his heart when it was around his wrist.

Zhuo Junli, at least, had never felt this way before.

Because Shi Qing was lying almost diagonally on the bed, his head rested naturally on Zhuo Junli's lap.

When the school bully did this kind of action, it seemed more like he was marking his territory.

The youth's hand fell on Shi Qing's hair, gently massaging the back of his head as he recited.

This was Zhuo Junli's unique relaxation method. In order to maintain his grades, he used to practise the routine of an immortal for a while, waking up at 5:30 but going to sleep at 1:00.

The back of his head would be swollen from a lack of sleep and the long hours of concentration. Although he was always very tired, he couldn't sleep.

Only by massaging the back of his head could he relax.

But now, after he moved into this two-person room, Shi Qing forced him to go to bed early every night after doing his homework. He also cuddled with him sleepily in the morning. Zhuo Junli’s old immortal routine has been shelved for a long time.

Shi Qing laid comfortably in the youth's lap, being massaged. He yawned while holding onto Zhuo Junli's other hand and unconsciously played with the red string on his wrist.

The hand that the school bully used to fondle him with was the one wearing his red string. Their white skin contrasted sharply with the blood-red strings.

"My teacher said that too. Do you know who was born first that year? That is the- um…what came after that?"

Zhuo Junli softly continued.

"'That is the reason why there is no divide between the noble and the lowly or between the young and the old. Where the Dao lives, so does the teacher.' This passage means that one shouldn't dismiss a teacher based on his age or his position in society. As long as he has knowledge to impart he can be considered a worthy teacher. It's easier to memorize if you understand the meaning."

Shi Qing tilted his head and turned around to lay on his back in Zhuo Junli's arms. He looked up at him with a wicked smile. "Does that mean you can be considered my teacher?"

Zhuo Junli looked at him.

The school bully's eyes were beautiful. There were stars sparkling in them when he smiled like that.

Zhuo Junli's mouth curled up on its own.

"You could say that."

Shi Qing's smile widened.

"Then aren't we in a student-teacher relationship?"

Zhuo Junli's smile remained unchanged.

"Yes. That too."

Shi Qing called out provocatively.

"Teacher~"

With a raised eyebrow, he got up and slowly lay down on the youth, grabbing his collar to make him lower his head slightly.

Zhuo Junli was half sitting against the wall. Even though Shi Qing grabbed his collar to pull his head down, he still had to look up to meet his eyes.

The school bully's eyes were bright. He lifted his wrist mischievously and turned the red string on his hand.

"Are you really giving this string to me?"

Zhuo Junli also raised his own hand and gently placed his red string next to Shi Qing's.

"Are you afraid?"

"Afraid?!"

The school bully raised his eyebrows, as domineering and wanton as ever: "What do I have to be afraid of?"

Zhuo Junli laughed.

When a beauty laughed, everything seemed to light up.

The beautiful top student said, "I'm not afraid either."

He was confident that he would one day stand at the pinnacle where no one would laugh at him anymore.

He was also confident that he could protect Shi Qing then.

He stretched his hand out slowly and held the hand next to him, interlocking his fingers with Shi Qing's.

His eyes were also bright. Light brown irises gazed deeply at the person in front of him.

"Let's go to the same university. Then we can still live together."

"I was thinking that too."

Shi Qing replied quickly, acting as if it was a matter of course.

"Why else would I be working so hard?"

Zhuo Junli's eyes were fixed on the person in front of him.

The youth lowered his head slowly and gently rubbed the tip of the school bully's nose with his. His usually warm voice was filled with suppressed emotions.

"You promised me, so you're mine now."

"For the rest of your life. Only mine."

Shi Qing encircled his neck with one hand. His eyes were also filled with possessiveness.

"Good."

"You can only be mine for the rest of your life too."

[Ding! Zhuo Junli's animosity value: 0/100]

The system bounced out in surprise again: [The host is so great!! Ahhhhhh, Host I learned a new song! Do you want some music?!]

[Not now.]

Shi Qing looked at Zhuo Junli, who was lowering himself onto his body. He said with satisfaction, [Tong, you should go learn more songs when the mosaics appear.]

The system obediently left.

Zhuo Junli continued to press down.

The slender, good-looking hand slowly reached…

-under the pillow.

The school bully: "???"

Then, Shi Qing watched Zhuo Junli pull out a copy of "Wu San" from under his pillow.

The youth happily placed the book in front of his face , "Do the questions again before you go to bed. I'll test you afterwards."

"With your current grades, it might still be hard to get into university. We have to eliminate any uncertainty!"

He was much more excited than usual. His eyes were bright.

Apparently, Shi Qing's agreement to be with him and go to university together made him very happy.

"Every morning from now on, you need to memorize your textbooks. You can do it while washing up. After tutoring the others in the afternoon, I'll set aside half an hour to solidify your foundation. Same thing during dinner."

Shi Qing: "…Wouldn't that be too tiring? Especially for you, you're already tired every day."

The youth's face was ecstatic. He leaned in affectionately and rubbed the tip of his nose.

"I'm only tired occasionally. If you find it hard, just think about us going to university in the future. We'll be in the same classrooms and dormitory and bed."

Shi Qing: "…"

Was it okay to point out that they were already in the same classrooms, dormitory and bed right now?

Seeing that Zhuo Junli was serious, Shi Qing took "Wu San" from him with a blank expression.

[Tong, come out and sing.]

The System came out, confused: [Host, where are the mosaics?]

Shi Qing: [No mosaics today. Come sing, I'll give you the lyrics.]

System: [?]

System: [What song?]

Shi Qing's face was numb: [The study song.]

So, in the ambiguous night when the two confessed their desires to each other and entered into a relationship, accompanied by the System's song-

Shi Qing did…
