The Silly Shou Transmigrated Into a Book - Chapter 14

Although Gu Qiuyi really liked the watch Chu Yueguang gave him, he didn’t have any intention of flaunting it everywhere, especially since he grew up poor. He decided to let Jiang Hansa keep it safe for him.

Gu Qiuyi reminded him uneasily, “You have to keep it safe for me. Don’t lose it; this is a 400,000-yuan watch!”

Jiang Hansa forced a smile. “I know. I’ll put it in my safe.”

Gu Qiuyi asked, “You’re so rich, you must have watches too, right?”

Jiang Hansa said nonchalantly, “Of course. Only a few million each, though.”

Wow, several million. Gu Qiuyi asked, “Then why don’t I see you wearing any?”

Jiang Hansa: “Why would I wear one at school?”

Gu Qiuyi stared at Jiang Hansa thoughtfully.

Jiang Hansa felt his skin crawl under the gaze. “What are you looking at me for?” He couldn’t be coveting my body, could he? Jiang Hansa knew these homosexuals played very “messy” games and especially loved targeting straight men. Someone like him probably fit the preferences of those perverts perfectly, right?

Seeing Gu Qiuyi silent, Jiang Hansa tried to suppress his disgust. “Why aren’t you talking?”

Gu Qiuyi: “I was thinking… Brother Hansa, are you interested in me?”

Jiang Hansa: “??” Jiang Hansa said in horror: “How is that possible?!”

Gu Qiuyi naturally knew it was impossible. In this novel, where almost everyone was BL, Jiang Hansa was practically a “clean stream”—he was an unshakeable straight man until the moment he went off-line.

He was just thinking about how Jiang Hansa, in the original plot, tirelessly pimped out Xu Muqing. Kou Huai was able to attempt his “forced conquest” multiple times because Jiang Hansa acted as the bridge. He even drugged Xu Muqing once; it was only then that Xu Muqing saw his “best friend’s” true face and broke off the friendship.

A Jiang Hansa like this was truly capable of lowering his status and feigning an approachable posture to befriend Xu Muqing for his own goals. As a rich young master, he didn’t flaunt his wealth or status constantly. Even at Qinglin Middle School, surrounded by ordinary classmates, he maintained a great reputation—extremely deceptive.

Gu Qiuyi felt the guy was a “villain in the making,” which was why he felt so bold about freeloading off him. But after freeloading for so long, he seemed to have developed a tiny bit of affection for him.

Is that wrong of me? Gu Qiuyi wondered while answering: “How is it impossible? After all, I’m so cute and charming. Isn’t it only natural for you to be infatuated with me?”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Motherfucker!

Gu Qiuyi put on a bashful expression and said, “But Brother Hansa, don’t lose your heart to me. I don’t like your type. I like tall, big boys who can cherish and protect me—boys who are sincere, brave, and have a sense of justice.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

I suspect he’s throwing shade at me.

Jiang Hansa’s expression nearly twisted from the effort of holding back. After a while, he said with a fake smile, “Don’t worry. I’m straight. You’re safe.”

Gu Qiuyi: “That’s not necessarily true. You straight men can be real beasts sometimes. You absolutely mustn’t lay a hand on me.”

Jiang Hansa said tactfully: “…Qiuyi, having confidence is a good thing, but don’t overdo it. True straight men don’t lay hands on the same sex. Those who have thoughts about the same sex are all fake straight men.”

Unable to stand Gu Qiuyi any longer, he quickly found an excuse to flee. Every minute spent with this guy was torture. He couldn’t even imagine how Chu Yueguang could tolerate this person. Did Chu Yueguang actually like this “flavor”?

He really didn’t understand these homosexuals.

A few weeks passed, and the school held its monthly examinations. Gu Qiuyi, without a doubt, ranked dead last in the entire grade.

This result stunned his homeroom teacher, Liu Wangqiu. Before the grades were even posted, he called Gu Qiuyi to the office. When Gu Qiuyi arrived, Liu Wangqiu looked at him with an expression that suggested he wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.

Gu Qiuyi tucked his hands behind his back and asked obediently, “Teacher Liu, did I not do well on the exam?”

A Gu Qiuyi like this looked exactly like a “good student” that teachers loved. Liu Wangqiu’s heart was originally in turmoil, but seeing Gu Qiuyi’s demeanor, he tried his best to be pleasant. “It’s like this, Gu Qiuyi. Your grades in the first half of the year were around 300th in the whole school. Why did you rank 1,300th in this monthly exam?”

Gu Qiuyi widened his eyes and said with total sincerity, “Teacher, if I told you that I accidentally injured my brain over the summer and forgot all the knowledge from the past three years of high school, would you believe me?”

At this point, one had to mention Gu Qiuyi’s looks. He had a face that looked pure and clean; his eyes were long and rounded, and when widened, they emitted a particularly pure and clear light. It was extremely deceptive.

Liu Wangqiu, partially fooled, was speechless: “…”

Seeing him silent, Gu Qiuyi carefully changed his story: “Over the summer, my head was also gnawed on by a Husky. Maybe the knowledge was transferred to the dog.”

The pleasant mask Liu Wangqiu was trying to maintain began to disappear.

Gu Qiuyi was still afraid of teachers. Seeing Liu Wangqiu’s expression grow serious, he murmured, “Teacher, I’m not lying to you.”

Liu Wangqiu said, “From the start of school until now, your homework in every subject has been excellent. Yet you only scored a total of 157 points on the exam?”

Gu Qiuyi: “…”

Liu Wangqiu added, “I compared the handwriting. The script is different. Did someone else do your homework for you?”

Gu Qiuyi: “Uh…”

Liu Wangqiu asked: “Who wrote your homework for you?”

Gu Qiuyi: “…”

He didn’t dare utter a sound.

Liu Wangqiu showed a very disappointed expression. “You’re already a senior, yet you’re still so lax. Even elementary schoolers don’t make up excuses like the ones you just gave. You used someone else’s help to fake your way through your homework. Do you actually want to get into college?”

Gu Qiuyi whispered, “I do.”

Liu Wangqiu: “You do, yet you still…?” He paused and said, “Have your parents come here tomorrow. I need to have a serious talk with them.”

Gu Qiuyi froze. In all his life, this was the first time his parents had been “summoned.” He hesitated and said, “Teacher, what if I don’t have parents?”

Liu Wangqiu: “?”

Gu Qiuyi didn’t even blink. He said with a face of deep sorrow, “My parents passed away before I was even born.”

Liu Wangqiu: “? Your parents passed away before you were born?”

Gu Qiuyi froze, then immediately corrected himself: “My parents passed away when I was very young.”

Liu Wangqiu looked at him suspiciously. Based on the lying performance he had just witnessed, he didn’t trust him. He found Gu Qiuyi’s student file right in front of him, found the parent’s phone number, and dialed it.

The call was answered quickly. Liu Wangqiu said in a gentle voice, “Hello, I am Gu Qiuyi’s homeroom teacher. Are you Gu Qiuyi’s guardian?”

The voice on the other end was cold: “Gu Qiuyi? I don’t know him.”

Liu Wangqiu was stunned. He quickly checked the number against the file to ensure he hadn’t dialed incorrectly. “Is Gu Qiuyi not your son?”

The other side didn’t answer immediately, instead asking: “Did he commit a crime?”

Liu Wangqiu said, “It’s just that his recent exam results are very unsatisfactory. He dropped over a thousand ranks, so I…”

Before he could finish, the other side interrupted coldly: “There is no such person in my house. You have the wrong person.”

With that, the call was hung up.

Liu Wangqiu: “…”

He held the phone, looking quite embarrassed.

Gu Qiuyi looked at him innocently. “See, Teacher? I wasn’t lying.”

Liu Wangqiu tried to salvage some face. “Did you have a fight with your family?”

Gu Qiuyi: “We didn’t fight. My parents are really dead.” He tried to make his eyes turn red and said, “It was a snowy day, just like the day Mother Xianglin lost her child. My parents were going to buy me a birthday cake. On the way back, they died in a car accident. From then on, my birthday became my parents’ death anniversary.”

He even reached out to wipe away a tear.

Liu Wangqiu looked at the birthday clearly listed on Gu Qiuyi’s file: May 20th—a summer birthday. He was speechless: “…”

He thought back. Gu Qiuyi’s looks were beautiful and eye-catching, so he could remember him. Back when the 10th grade started, Gu Qiuyi had come to report alone. In these past two years, he really hadn’t seen Gu Qiuyi’s parents. Furthermore, Gu Qiuyi’s grades had always been decent and stable in every subject, so he had never worried about him. Over time, he realized he didn’t really know this child well at all.

Thinking of this, Liu Wangqiu lost his temper.

When Gu Qiuyi walked out of the office, he even let out a “crying hiccup.” He licked his lips, walked into the classroom, and called for Jiang Hansa.

Jiang Hansa stood up. Seeing Gu Qiuyi’s red eyes, he knew the boy had been scolded. He couldn’t hide his inner glee and asked knowingly: “What did the teacher want?”

Gu Qiuyi said, “Sigh, I didn’t do well. Teacher talked to me about my ideals and life.” He paused, then added: “By the way, the teacher wants you to go to the office.”

Jiang Hansa: “…Why me?”

Gu Qiuyi said innocently, “Teacher Liu asked me who wrote my homework for me. I said it was you. Teacher Liu seemed very angry.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Gu Qiuyi told him: “When the teacher asks, just say you forced me to let you write my homework. It’s not that I was lazy; it’s that you wanted to write an extra set of homework. I’m also a victim.”

Jiang Hansa was so shocked he actually spoke his inner thoughts out loud: “?? Gu Qiuyi, are you even human?”

Gu Qiuyi sniffled and said coyly, “If I’m not human, am I your little baby then?”

Jiang Hansa: Fuck! He turned and left.

When Jiang Hansa returned, his expression was clearly not good. Sure enough, during class, Liu Wangqiu came in and rearranged the entire class’s seating.

Gu Qiuyi successfully became desk-mates with Xu Muqing. His old desk-mate was moved to the front, and Jiang Hansa was placed directly behind Gu Qiuyi.

Liu Wangqiu said vaguely: “I hope the top students in our class can lead the lower-performing students more. I also hope the lower-performing students can be proactive, study hard, and strive for a better tomorrow.”

Gu Qiuyi turned back to Jiang Hansa and said, “Brother Hansa, I’ve decided to do my own homework from now on. You don’t have to write it for me anymore.”

Jiang Hansa didn’t want to speak: “.”

Gu Qiuyi: “How about you tutor me instead? Let’s start from middle school material, okay?”

Jiang Hansa didn’t understand why he said that at first. It wasn’t until the monthly exam results were posted and he saw Gu Qiuyi’s grades that he went: “…”

How did he manage to score only 157 points out of a total of 750 across six subjects????

If you sprinkled a handful of rice on the exam paper, even a chicken would probably score higher than him, right?

Jiang Hansa didn’t understand, but he was profoundly shocked. When he asked, he only saw Gu Qiuyi’s face of deep sorrow. “To be honest, you might not believe it, but over the summer, my head was accidentally gnawed on by a Husky…”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Why didn’t the dog just gnaw your whole head off???

Gu Qiuyi widened his pure, innocent, beautiful eyes and said to Jiang Hansa, “Brother Hansa, you’ll help me with tutoring, right?”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Gu Qiuyi attempted to move him with his innocent gaze: “You will, won’t you?”

The expression on Jiang Hansa’s face twisted uncontrollably.
