The Silly Shou Transmigrated Into a Book - Chapter 2

After finishing his shower, Gu Qiuyi walked to the edge of the bed and threw himself onto the soft Simmons mattress with his arms wide open, his heart brimming with joy.

This was the first time he had ever slept on a bed this soft, and the first time he had ever owned such a large room all to himself!

Being a rich second generation was truly wonderful! From now on, he didn’t want to study anymore, and he didn’t want to work either. He just wanted to lie at home and be a “salted fish” forever!

At this thought, Gu Qiuyi recalled the original host’s attempt to crawl into Chu Yueguang’s bed. The joy on his face instantly vanished a bit. He fished out his phone to check and saw that Chu Yueguang had just approved his friend request.

Gu Qiuyi stared at the solid black profile picture on the screen and clicked into his Moments to take a look. Chu Yueguang hadn’t posted anything; his timeline was a total blank.

What a cool man, he thought.

Gu Qiuyi tapped away on his screen: “Hello, Gege.”

He hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should get straight to the point to salvage his reputation.

On the other side, Chu Yueguang looked down at Gu Qiuyi’s message and did not reply.

Kou Huai had told him that a friend wanted to add him. Chu Yueguang was harsh and cold toward outsiders, but he was lenient toward his friends. Since Kou Huai had asked, he didn’t refuse and accepted the request.

However, he had no interest in replying. He closed the chat box and was about to toss his phone aside when Gu Qiuyi sent another message.

“…Are you there? Are you still in the shower? I just finished mine too. What a coincidence.”

Chu Yueguang’s finger paused. His gaze fell on Gu Qiuyi’s cute cat profile picture. After only a glance, he tossed the phone away.

Meanwhile, Gu Qiuyi, having received no reply for a long time, grew increasingly nervous. He switched windows to ask Kou Huai about Chu Yueguang’s situation, but after typing the message, he deleted it character by character before sending it.

As the “Gong” lead of a sweet BL novel, Chu Yueguang actually had a very prominent personality. Otherwise, Gu Qiuyi wouldn’t have remembered the plot of this book so clearly after reading so many novels.

As a Gong, he first possessed the most elite family background in the entire book—he was the heir to a top-tier wealthy family. He was 193cm tall, handsome, with broad shoulders and long legs. Secondly, he was extremely clean-living. Before meeting the protagonist “Shou,” Xu Muqing, he had never dated anyone. Once he fell for Xu Muqing, he began dealing with his lover’s terrible relatives and family members behind the scenes, ensuring Xu Muqing wouldn’t suffer even a bit of grievance. He did good deeds without leaving a name, silently guarding the other person.

When a group of suitors began to gather around Xu Muqing, Chu Yueguang was able to display his charm without yielding an inch, leaving Xu Muqing’s heart in a flutter before finally winning the beauty.

This made Gu Qiuyi extremely envious and greatly fulfilled his fantasies about a future partner.

But Chu Yueguang was the type who would only offer limitless doting to those he valued and loved; for those he disliked or loathed, it was an entirely different story.

In the original plot, “Gu Qiuyi” had climbed into his bed. The host had thought Chu Yueguang would spread the word, but in reality, Chu Yueguang never even considered such a thing. Facing a person or situation he detested, he still maintained a shred of grace. Even if he didn’t intend to be “kind,” subconsciously he still spared “Gu Qiuyi” some face.

Or perhaps, he simply disdained gossiping about others.

However, the moment “Gu Qiuyi” reached out to harm Xu Muqing, Chu Yueguang was no longer so polite. “Gu Qiuyi” had pestered him personally many times without Chu Yueguang ever taking heavy-handed action, but for bothering Xu Muqing just once, Chu Yueguang directly bankrupted the Gu family. He even went as far as pulling up the roots, sending “Gu Qiuyi” straight to prison.

Gu Qiuyi instinctively shuddered. So… so tragic. My future is so tragic.

If he were a normal person knowing this outcome, he probably wouldn’t provoke Chu Yueguang again. But Gu Qiuyi’s brain worked differently. He figured that in such a CEO novel world, a family like his couldn’t compare to those top-tier mansions. Moreover, Xu Muqing was also a high schooler in the same class as him. What if he accidentally made Xu Muqing hate him? Wouldn’t those high-tier suitors crush him in minutes?

To remain a rich second generation and a happy “salted fish” forever, he planned to see if he could make Chu Yueguang hate him a little less. It would be even better if they could become friends—the friends of a male lead are very safe.

At this thought, a long-lost fighting spirit ignited in Gu Qiuyi’s heart.

He picked up his phone and typed again: “Gege, what are you doing?”

Naturally, Chu Yueguang did not reply.

Gu Qiuyi switched back to Kou Huai’s window and asked: “Are you with Chu Yueguang right now?”

Seeing Gu Qiuyi’s message, Kou Huai replied with a numb expression: “You sent me three cartoons. Do you think I’m a child?”

Gu Qiuyi was surprised: “What cartoons?”

Kou Huai said: “The resources you found for me—did you not watch them yourself?”

Gu Qiuyi said as a matter of fact: “I like boys, so why would I watch AVs (adult videos)? I found those specifically for you.”

Kou Huai: “…”

Gu Qiuyi: “By the way, you haven’t answered me yet. Why is Chu Yueguang ignoring me?”

Kou Huai was angered to the point of laughter and didn’t want to deal with him, but thinking about Gu Qiuyi’s pretty face—and the fact that he’d never dated this type of guy before—Kou Huai was still tempted. Thus, he patiently replied: “Chu Yueguang doesn’t like talking to strangers. If you have something to say, just say it directly. I told him you’re my friend, so he won’t delete you. But don’t keep messaging him about irrelevant topics; he’ll get annoyed.”

Kou Huai knew Chu Yueguang well. He was certain Chu Yueguang wouldn’t pay attention to Gu Qiuyi. Furthermore, Chu Yueguang had explicitly called Gu Qiuyi a “messy person,” so his impression of him was likely average at best, or even poor. Therefore, he wasn’t worried about Chu Yueguang stealing his “catch.”

Thinking of this, Kou Huai felt restless again. “Are you free tomorrow? Want to come out and play?”

Gu Qiuyi replied: “I’m not free. I have to do homework. School starts in a few days, waaaaah.”

His typing speed was incredibly fast; the next sentence appeared immediately after the first. “Do you have time? You’re a college student, so you shouldn’t have summer homework, right? Can you help me write my summer homework?”

Kou Huai: “…………”

What kind of person is this? Does he even know who I am?? I’m Kou Huai! People line up to flatter me, but he’s something else—he won’t come out to play, and he wants to use me as slave labor to write his summer homework??

Kou Huai was truly laughed at by this. He couldn’t tell if Gu Qiuyi was playing hard to get or just being genuinely naive. Did he really think he’d fall for this?

Kou Huai sent him the standard WeChat “smiling face” emoji (the passive-aggressive one).

Upon seeing the smiling face, Gu Qiuyi couldn’t gauge his meaning and asked: “Are you going to help me? I can pay.”

Kou Huai: “…”

He doesn’t lack money!! Does he look like someone who lacks money?!

Kou Huai transferred 10,000 yuan to him.

Gu Qiuyi accepted it in a second. “Ah? This is so embarrassing.”

Kou Huai: “…”

If you’re embarrassed, don’t accept it!!

Gu Qiuyi said: “Why did you give me so much money?”

Kou Huai clearly didn’t want to reply, but he still couldn’t help himself: “I DON’T LACK MONEY!!!”

Gu Qiuyi realized: “So you have so much money you have nowhere to spend it. I get it. I have that kind of trouble now too. But it’s okay, I can help you bear this pain in the future. Whenever you want to send money, don’t be polite—just send it to me, I’ll help you spend it!”

Kou Huai: “…”

He choked. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if Gu Qiuyi was joking or being serious.

Or was he just a total idiot?

Gu Qiuyi asked again: “Is it convenient for you to help me with my homework now? If it is, I’ll mail it to you tomorrow?”

Kou Huai: “…”

Fuck! Is there no end to this??

Gu Qiuyi waited for a bit. Not receiving a reply from Kou Huai, he assumed he had fallen asleep and typed: “Are you asleep?”

“Then goodnight.”

He switched back to the chat with Chu Yueguang. Chu Yueguang still hadn’t replied. After thinking about it, he also sent a message: “I’m going to sleep too. Goodnight.”

Before going to bed, Chu Yueguang saw Gu Qiuyi’s message. He frowned slightly and set Gu Qiuyi’s messages to “Do Not Disturb.”

Then he found Kou Huai and asked: “What does your friend want by adding me?”

Kou Huai: “He wants you to help him write his summer homework. :)”

Chu Yueguang: “?”
