Everyone Loves the Villainous Scumbag [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 15

Father Luo saw the three of them standing in the living room and thought nothing of it, assuming it was just young people being playful.

After Luo Jianghe introduced Yu Wuyang to his father, Father Luo simply nodded and asked Luo Jianghe where Mother Luo was.

“I just saw her in her room upstairs,” Luo Jianghe said, moving two steps away from both Yu Wuyang and Fu Chen.

Father Luo nodded and headed upstairs.

As soon as Father Luo arrived home, Mother Luo also had to come downstairs to prepare dinner. Aside from tonight’s meal, she also had to busy herself with preparing ingredients for tomorrow. Since tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, the food had to be ready.

The Luo family was in business and was slightly superstitious; they would not throw out the trash or use knives on the first day of the New Year. For convenience, they simply would not cook fresh meals on the first day, opting instead to cook extra on New Year’s Eve to eat as leftovers.

Therefore, the day before New Year’s Eve and the day itself were always quite busy.

When Mother Luo came downstairs, Father Luo followed her back down.

Yu Wuyang and Fu Chen finally lost their battlefield for confrontation and obediently went upstairs.

Luo Jianghe did not want to go up and face Yu Wuyang because he was afraid of the awkwardness, so he stayed downstairs, refusing to budge.

“Jianghe, your friend is staying over; are you really just going to let him stay upstairs by himself? Why do you not act like a proper host? Also, Xiao Chen is leaving tomorrow. Did you add his contact information yet? Since you are idle and not studying, go upstairs and hang out with them. A young man being this lazy every day will find it hard to get a wife in the future.”

“Heh.”

If his mother kept pushing him toward those two psychos, not getting a wife might be the least of his problems.

Resigned to his fate, Luo Jianghe headed upstairs. Just as he reached the top, he saw his younger sister, Luo Xi, stumbling out of her room with two bright red patches on her cheeks, looking dazed.

Seeing this, Luo Jianghe went up to her and asked, “Have you been sleeping in your room all afternoon?”

Luo Xi shook her head. Her obedient appearance made one want to pinch her cheeks.

“No, after you guys left, I played games for a while. But the more I played, the more guilty I felt, so I was just working on some test papers. It gave me a headache.”

Luo Jianghe, who relied on the system to cheat, had suffered through the bitterness of exams in his early years. Having experienced the pressure of major exams himself, he truly felt for Luo Xi.

He reached out, pinched Luo Xi’s flushed face, and said, “Go downstairs and get some water. We will be eating soon.”

Luo Xi nodded, but then her large eyes filled with suspicion. She leaned closer to Luo Jianghe and asked, “Why is your mouth swollen?”

“Ah,” Luo Jianghe stammered for a moment, scratching his head. “I was eating spicy strips just now. They were a bit too spicy, maybe I am just having an internal heat flare-up.”

“I do not smell anything,” Luo Xi leaned in to sniff, still puzzled.

Faced with Luo Xi’s persistence, Luo Jianghe covered his mouth. “I just rinsed my mouth! Are we not about to eat? If Mom finds out, will she not nag me?”

“Alright, hurry up and go downstairs. Are you not tired of asking so many questions?” Normally, Luo Jianghe would not use such a tone, but whenever he became defensive and started blaming others out of embarrassment, it was a sure sign that someone had hit a nerve.

Luo Xi felt her older brother was suddenly acting very strange.

“What is the big deal? Did you lock lips with someone? You came back so early. Did you confess to a girl and get rejected, so now you are taking your bad mood out on me?”

Accurately called out, Luo Jianghe laughed in frustration. “Just shut your mouth already.”

With that, he stopped chatting with his sister and headed back to his room.

He realized that Luo Xi had a bizarre prophet attribute; she managed to stumble upon the truth by sheer accident, for better or worse.

If they kept talking, he was afraid he would not be able to hold his ground.

Seeing him leave, Luo Xi did not say much else, only muttering to herself as she went downstairs.

“Eating spicy strips all by himself, he did not even think to bring a bag for his cute little sister.”

Even though he was returning to his own room, Luo Jianghe still knocked twice.

Only after receiving a response from Yu Wuyang inside did he gingerly enter the room.

When facing Yu Wuyang alone, he still felt somewhat awkward.

After all, his mouth was still swollen, and that was entirely Yu Wuyang’s handiwork.

It was lucky that Father Luo had been standing far away earlier; otherwise, he was not sure if his father would have believed the lie about the spicy strips.

Once inside, Luo Jianghe wanted to act as if everything had passed and just stay on the side to play on his phone.

However, Yu Wuyang spoke first.

“Jianghe.”

Luo Jianghe froze instantly, standing by the door as if being punished, not knowing whether to stay or sit.

“W-what is it?”

He thought to himself: If Yu Wuyang tries to kiss me again, I will cover my mouth first. If he keeps kissing me, my mouth is going to be ruined!

While Luo Jianghe was busy plotting how to dodge Yu Wuyang, Yu Wuyang did not follow the expected script.

The room was dim in the late afternoon, and Yu Wuyang had not turned on the lights. He sat obediently at the desk where Luo Jianghe usually studied, looking as though he did not dare to profane his bed.

Luo Jianghe could see his silhouette, but because the light was behind him, he could not quite see Yu Wuyang’s expression.

Vaguely, he felt that Yu Wuyang looked quite lonely and sad.

“About what happened just now, it was my fault.”

It was clearly he who had done wrong, yet he put on an act as if he were about to crumble.

Luo Jianghe had to admit that he was a sucker for this kind of vulnerability. As soon as Yu Wuyang showed weakness and apologized, the resentment in his heart vanished.

To be honest, he did not exactly hate the kiss itself. He just did not like being forced into a corner, and a kiss without his consent did not feel comfortable.

If the environment were different and Yu Wuyang had properly asked for his permission, Luo Jianghe might have actually enjoyed it.

After all, Yu Wuyang’s kissing skills were not that bad.

Although the ending would still result in him rejecting Yu Wuyang because of the mission, the process could have been different.

If an ending is destined to make someone suffer, there is no need for both people to suffer the whole way, is there?

Luo Jianghe felt this was likely due to the mission; the malice and selfishness in his heart were being awakened.

Life is short, and he was not without thoughts of seeking immediate pleasure.

Regardless of responsibility or love, just following his feelings, if he liked it, they could be together; if not, he could discard it decisively.

At this stage, he had no real reason to reject Yu Wuyang.

It was just that Yu Wuyang’s methods were not very respectful.

Luo Jianghe did not know if this was Yu Wuyang’s true nature, or if even a rabbit bites when cornered.

How could a normally obedient boy show such a dominant side in front of the person he liked, only to turn back into a little white rabbit afterward, pitifully saying “I am sorry”?

Luo Jianghe was confused. Which one was the real Yu Wuyang?

“Forget it, I am not that angry,” he finally said, softening his tone.

According to the storyline, he only had a few years left here anyway.

It was not time for a complete fallout with Yu Wuyang yet. He would have to forgive him sooner or later, so there was no need to make a life-or-death drama out of a kiss.

Aside from collecting Yu Wuyang’s affection points, Luo Jianghe had two main storylines he had to complete before he could cross over.

The first line was to let most people in the school know that Yu Wuyang was gay, using public opinion to make Yu Wuyang’s final days of high school miserable.

The story of Yu Wuyang being saved by his top suitors afterward was not his concern.

The second line was to wait until Yu Wuyang became somewhat famous and then go back to rekindle the old flame to add conflict to the world’s story.

After his family went bankrupt, Luo Jianghe would use Yu Wuyang’s popularity to increase his own traffic for money, dragging Yu Wuyang back to rock bottom once again.

Both of these betrayals would be very painful for Yu Wuyang. Only then could he make Yu Wuyang truly hate him, realize he was a genuine scumbag, and then directly harvest the affection points.

017 had said he could die to escape.

According to the system, a person’s life is very long, and the emotions of liking or loving someone remain stable within a certain range.

Yu Wuyang’s love for him was currently in a stable range, so he did not have to worry about the emotional value suddenly dropping to zero.

However, because life is long, a person’s values change as they move from being a minor to an adult, through middle age, and into old age, which affects their love for someone.

Someone you loved deeply ten years ago might still be loved, loved less, or loved even more ten years later. There is no fixed rule.

Therefore, while Yu Wuyang’s love for him was stable, it was difficult to increase it further.

Once it reached a certain value, the emotion classified as liking required a more complex algorithm to determine.

In the end, 017 was a system that used calculations to determine emotions, not a human.

And love cannot be precisely calculated. The system had its own logic, but 017 said that in most cases, affection points cannot be harvested at a perfect 100%.

So, Luo Jianghe only intended to stabilize the current affection points for harvesting. As for whether he could make Yu Wuyang like him or care about him more in the future, that was up to fate.

Anyway, from the current perspective, he could already harvest affection points that exceeded the passing grade. He was already satisfied with that.

“Then tonight, do I still sleep on the floor?” Yu Wuyang said cautiously.

He knew Jianghe liked this fragile attitude. As long as Luo Jianghe liked it, he would do anything.

“I never said I would make you sleep on the floor,” Luo Jianghe said, scratching his cheek. “Just do not mess around again at night.”

Actually, if Yu Wuyang really wanted to kiss him, where he slept would not stop him from acting out.

Unaware of what was in his heart, Yu Wuyang’s eyes instantly sparkled like a bright, obedient puppy when he saw that Luo Jianghe agreed to let him sleep on the bed. “Mm! Then I will tidy up a bit and get the quilt ready.”

“Jianghe, you are so good to me!” With that, he started moving.

Luo Jianghe felt like he could almost see a tail wagging behind him.

Looking at Yu Wuyang like this, Luo Jianghe could not help but rub the tip of his nose with his finger.

Is he really this happy?

However, what he did not see was that the moment Yu Wuyang turned his back, the obedient expression on his face faded instantly.

All that remained was a successful smirk at the corner of his mouth and a look of pure ambition flashing in his eyes.
