The Self-Redemption of the Wronged Fool [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 5

However, Ji Qiuchi did not make a move; instead, Zhao Lingyun was the first to show goodwill. The other party actually sought him out, apologized to him, and even forced Wen Jing to come over and apologize to him as well.

Ji Qiuchi even suspected that the other party was a “loan apology machine.” If apologizing were truly useful, then what would be the need for the police?

The system, however, was very happy.

Nevertheless, Wen Jing was forced to apologize and was ultimately handled with expulsion from the school.

At the moment of departure, Wen Jing found Ji Qiuchi alone.

He no longer possessed that sensible and well-behaved appearance he wore in front of Zhao Lingyun; instead, he glared fiercely at Ji Qiuchi like a malevolent spirit.

“Retribution will come to you! Everything you have is stolen! One day, you will lose everything just like me!”

Ji Qiuchi chuckled lightly, his lips curling into a mocking arc.

“We probably won’t have the chance to meet again in the future. Although you were the one who first plotted against me, I don’t think you are capable of realizing your own mistakes. In the hearts of people like you, the person in the wrong is always someone else. Furthermore, I possess genuine talent and learning; you won’t be able to catch up even if you spend eight lifetimes flattering others.”

Wen Jing’s expression was sinister. After leaving the school, a thick hatred one carrying the intent of total mutual destruction flashed in his eyes. He looked at the driver and said, “Take me to the A-City Prison.”

After that, Zhao Lingyun replaced his followers with others, but for some unknown reason, he began to treat Ji Qiuchi with a pleasant countenance. Instead of showing goodwill to Lin Ming, he sought him out instead?

But Ji Qiuchi knew the other party was a scumbag. This was likely a plot draped in the skin of goodwill; the target was probably still Lin Ming.

However, he did discover that the progress between Lin Ming and Zhao Lingyun was not fast. Lin Ming always maintained an alienated and cold attitude toward Zhao Lingyun, which was completely unlike the sweet and romantic progression in the original plot.

“Xiao Ming, you don’t seem to like Zhao Lingyun?” Ji Qiuchi inquired.

Lin Ming’s progress during these days had been very fast; he had been studying constantly, and his talent was indeed as terrifying as it was in the original plot.

Upon hearing these words, Lin Ming’s eyes grew somewhat deep. “Brother, your relationship with Zhao Lingyun seems to have improved lately. I always see him greeting you.”

Seeing that the other party had even put down the gemstone in his hand, Ji Qiuchi’s heart skipped a beat. No way? Did Lin Ming care about Zhao Lingyun?

The system nodded. “It seems he still cares about Zhao Lingyun. What a pity; such an emerald-like ‘cabbage’ is being uprooted by a pig.”

Ji Qiuchi agreed.

However, Ji Qiuchi’s impression of Lin Ming was currently quite good, and he truly regarded the other party as a younger brother. But if Lin Ming liked Zhao Lingyun, it would be very difficult for Ji Qiuchi to endure.

He must make Lin Ming stay away from the scumbag. He pondered for a moment and spoke, “He is always asking me out for meals and to play.”

“Do not pay him any mind. He and Wen Jing are birds of a feather; neither of them is a good person.”

Lin Ming looked at him silently and said, “I hate him very much.”

After saying this, it was as if they had never discussed the topic, and he continued to ask him questions regarding jewelry design.

“???”

The system was so surprised it was speechless. The host had actually managed to make Lin Ming hate Zhao Lingyun. Could it be that the Great Host was correct?

Ji Qiuchi’s eyes curved into a smile, and his mood was quite good.

“However, regardless of Lin Ming’s attitude, Zhao Lingyun is indeed very annoying. He is like a piece of dog-skin plaster; I wonder if I can strike first to gain the upper hand.”

System: “QAQ Host! Host! If you kill the mission target, the world will collapse! Moreover, you already owe points; you will be thrown into a punishment world! We just need to take care of our own mission.”

“Fine,” Ji Qiuchi said with regret.

Just then, as if speaking of the devil, Zhao Lingyun appeared again in the afternoon. “Xiao Wang, I have something I want to say to you.”

Ji Qiuchi did not want to pay him any attention, but unexpectedly, his arm was grabbed by the other party and he was pulled to the side. “Xiao Wang, you and Lin Ming are on very good terms now, aren’t you?”

“Is there something?” Ji Qiuchi lifted his eyes unhappily.

“I went a bit too far with what happened at the banquet before, but I did that actually to protect you. After all, our two families are betrothed. After Lin Ming returned, if you still had that marriage engagement with me, both Uncle and Aunt would develop a grudge because of it and would be biased toward Lin Ming. But the one I have always liked is you. I will find a way to make Uncle and Aunt agree to us being together. Lin Ming is understanding; once our relationship improves a bit, he will surely understand and support us. By then, everything will be just like before. Therefore, I hope you can help me. Because of the matter with Wen Jing, he probably has some bad impressions of me now, but you two are on good terms. Can I please ask you to help me set up a meeting with him?”

Ji Qiuchi: “…” Lie, go ahead and keep lying.

Did Zhao Lingyun really think he was a fool? It was too absurd.

Wait, the original owner was indeed a fool.

Now, where did this person get the nerve to say these words? Ji Qiuchi wore a look of mockery. “Could it be that you truly like Xiao Ming?”

Zhao Lingyun hurried to soothe Ji Qiuchi. “Of course not. I only like you. But as you know, I am under quite a bit of pressure. The family has been pressing me about the matter between me and you. Once we reconcile after some time, it won’t seem too abrupt. Let’s talk about this later; we haven’t chatted in a long time, and I miss you very much.”

Ji Qiuchi had seen many liars, and Zhao Lingyun’s acting was top-tier. If the system had not failed to prompt an increase in favorability, that affectionate look in his eyes really could have tricked the original owner into circles.

Ultimately, he still agreed; he wanted to see what else Zhao Lingyun planned to do.

After returning to the dormitory, Lin Ming had already prepared the meal. During these days while Ji Qiuchi stayed at the school, he was basically being fed by Lin Ming. Lin Ming’s cooking was top-tier and smelled so fragrant. Where else could one find such an angelic younger brother?

He walked to the side to plug his phone into the charger, and heard Lin Ming say, “You must be hungry, Brother. Let’s eat.”

Ji Qiuchi nodded. “Okay, I’ll wash my hands first.”

However, what he did not know was that when he walked past Lin Ming, Lin Ming keenly smelled an aura on him that did not belong to him.

On his end, Ji Qiuchi was washing his wrists for all he was worth, feeling only that it was bad luck. He was unaware that outside, Lin Ming, who was waiting for him to eat together, had red eyes.

He bit his knuckles. He went to see Zhao Lingyun? …What exactly did they do… It is truly annoying. Why must Zhao Lingyun hover around Chi Chi?

Chi Chi has lost his memories now; he will fall in love with someone else. Just thinking about it made Lin Ming unable to control the dark thoughts in his heart.

On the other side, Zhao Lingyun left satisfied, but not long after, he sent a message to Ji Qiuchi. Ji Qiuchi, who was already eating with Lin Ming, took one look and turned off the screen irritably.

Lin Ming watched him constantly and silently opened his own phone. On it, the chat dialogue between Ji Qiuchi and Zhao Lingyun appeared clearly.

Zhao Lingyun had invited Chi Chi to a meal and sent him the specific time and location, and also said not to forget what was promised. What was promised? Did they have a secret between them?

Did Chi Chi forget what good deeds Zhao Lingyun and Wen Jing had done before? He did not believe that Zhao Lingyun was unaware of the matter this time.

As for Ji Qiuchi, after finishing the meal, he swept the upsetting matters to the back of his mind.

He completely failed to notice the paranoid gaze Lin Ming used to stare at him.

In the middle of the night, Ji Qiuchi woke up in a daze from pain. “?”

System: “Host! Stop sleeping! This is crazy! F***ing wake up! Wake up! …!”

Ji Qiuchi looked blankly at Lin Ming, who had appeared before him. The other party’s moist lips were full and crimson. Both his hands were propped up over him. The moonlight spilled over him, but it was not as bright as his eyes. There were crimson corners of his eyes and cheeks, along with those peach-blossom eyes full of madness. The arc of his smile was more exaggerated than a pervert’s.

Before Ji Qiuchi could even think much, the other party spoke, “I’m sorry, Brother. You made me angry. I can… no longer endure it.”

Ji Qiuchi: ???

WDF?

However, before he could think, he had already been pulled into the vortex of the moon.

All the power used to feign obedience and hide was now being used on him.

He could not escape and could not break free until dawn.

“…I miss you very much. Zhao Lingyun is truly annoying. I will find a way to make him disappear.” A certain someone kissed him and then hugged him again, saying such words in a breathy voice.

Ji Qiuchi had only one thought now: he had been tricked. F***, he had actually been tricked. Such a movie king… He, a great “General Attack” (Seme)! Was actually… Ji Qiuchi lunged up and pushed the person away with a shove.

As a result, it hurt so much he had to hold his waist. He laughed out of anger. “You know, don’t you? I am your brother.”

Lin Ming’s gaze was burning. “We are not on the same household register. Even if we were, I would still do that.”

Ji Qiuchi collapsed. Good kid, you have two faces.

“Heh heh. Now, get out of my sight. Wait, I will talk to you tomorrow.” Using physical means.

Lin Ming also knew Ji Qiuchi was angry. “Brother, you should rest well.”

The door was closed, and Ji Qiuchi fell back onto the bed. From the beginning, he had felt that Lin Ming was not quite right, but he never expected Lin Ming to have such thoughts.

This was not a well-behaved kitten, but a beast with its claws retracted.

The system was also breaking down, whimpering while murmuring, “Fake, it was all fake…”

“Stop chanting… I want to cry too…” Ji Qiuchi moved a bit, and something flowed out. His expression changed immediately.

He began a three-minute-long curse-word rap.

Where would the great Ace Ji who had been single since birth, remained clean, and stayed away from women ever encounter such a thing?

He had fallen low.

Everyone was bullying him!

Abominable! If he didn’t beat him to death tomorrow, his last name wouldn’t be Ji!

Wait, could it be a conspiracy? Perhaps the other party actually hates him and is just humiliating him? Thinking of this, his face became distorted.

Just at this moment, the phone vibrated. A message came from the other party.

“Don’t think about it anymore. I like you. I want to marry you.”

“Marry my ass!” Ji Qiuchi blacklisted him immediately.

Lin Ming would not let him escape so easily and sent a text message: “I’m sorry. No one ever taught me; I didn’t know this was wrong. I couldn’t control myself. I just wanted to be closer to you, Xiao Wang.”

At this moment, Lin Ming began to act pitiful.

Ji Qiuchi gave a “Heh.”

White Lotuses and Green Teas have much in common; he was already immune to this trick.

Lin Ming was indeed pitiful and had it very rough, but what kind of decent person would climb into their brother’s bed in the middle of the night and do that? In a fit of shame and anger, Ji Qiuchi grabbed the pillow and threw it out.

“Grandmother’s! You little White Lotus!”

“Brother, I had no playmates of the same age growing up and never received warmth. But you are very good to me and are also my type. I will wait for you.” Lin Ming changed to another phone number to send a text.

The system was still whimpering: “I shouldn’t have gone to sleep early before. I only found out today.

how is it that Zhao Lingyun wasn’t captured, but instead, Lin Ming was? And, why is there a large clump of mosaics down there? It’s really big.”

He forgot that the system had a privacy protection device. As for the mosaics and such, he didn’t really want to know.

He was also in a lot of pain now. Heartache.

Ji Qiuchi thought stubbornly for an entire day and still could not figure out where exactly things went wrong.

Yes, he and Lin Ming didn’t have that much interaction, did they? Why would he run over in the middle of the night to do this kind of thing? Was he actually very good to him? Was he not a good brother? Why? Could it really be because no one taught him? So he grew up crooked?
