The Silly Shou Transmigrated Into a Book - Chapter 22.1

Kou Huai: “Brother, where are you? Why aren’t you replying to me?”

Chu Yueguang: “How exactly do you want me to reply?”

Kou Huai said: “Just say, ‘Okay, little brother, no problem, little brother, your brother will protect you, der~'”

Chu Yueguang: “…”

Chu Yueguang thought to himself: When that person calls me ‘Brother,’ it’s cute. But when Kou Huai, a 187cm brute, calls me ‘Brother’… it just makes me want to hit him.

Chu Yueguang asked: “What tiger are we fighting?”

Kou Huai explained the whole situation to him.

Upon hearing it, Chu Yueguang was momentarily stunned—Why did he look for Kou Huai instead of me??

Kou Huai asked him: “Brother, are you going? Come and back up my ‘Little Sweet Beet’.”

Chu Yueguang was so irritated that his fingers made a thumping sound as he tapped the screen. “Didn’t you just find a new boyfriend? Eating from the bowl while looking at the pot?”

Kou Huai said: “Hah, Qiuqiu knows. He doesn’t mind; he even called me a ‘Male Bodhisattva’ who came to deliver all living beings.” His tone was quite touched. “He’s so understanding, I really like him.”

Chu Yueguang: “…”

Chu Yueguang asked coldly: “What time?”

Kou Huai gave him the time and added: “I’ve heard some things about Zou Shu before. Guess what? He and three others spent 200,000 to buy an escort for one night. Their demands were insane. One of them said she had to accept having her nipples bitten off, and they’d arrange for a doctor to sew them back on the spot. They also wanted her to accept eating ‘sh*t’ on camera. They listed a bunch of requirements that didn’t treat people as human beings. The kicker is, some girl actually went for that 200,000. I heard she was sent to the emergency room the next day and almost died.”

Chu Yueguang: “…”

Kou Huai said: “That whole circle plays very dirty and messy. There are always rumors about them crippling people. It’s so bad even my parents know about it. They’ve strictly warned me not to play with them. If my mom sees me in the same frame as them and I can’t explain it, she might actually break my legs.”

Kou Huai continued: “He dared to call ‘Little Sweet Beet’ to a hotel—what kind of good intentions could he have? You don’t know, the poor kid was terrified, kept crying ‘Brother, save me!’ You think if I play the hero saving the beauty this time, he’ll immediately offer himself to me as thanks?”

The more Kou Huai spoke, the more pleased he became. “Brother, you really have no idea. He’s getting more and more beautiful. He’s young, so supple, so pretty, such an aura—damn, he’s perfect! Sure, he’s narcissistic, but he has the capital for it, right? And although he says annoying things sometimes, the longer you spend with him, the more interesting he feels. Not only is he beautiful, he has an interesting soul.”

“If he and I can actually make it as a couple, I feel like I might—just maybe—settle down. Brother, you have to help me this time.”

Chu Yueguang’s breathing grew heavy. He didn’t know what to say. He exited the chat box and clicked on the contact he had renamed to “Jiu-Jiu.” The chat history still remained at Gu Qiuyi saying he was going back to work on test papers and would strive for a perfect score on the junior high math exam.

He had replied with an “Mm.” Up until now, this boy nicknamed “Jiu-Jiu” had not sent him a single message, but he had already looked for Kou Huai.

Why didn’t he look for me?

Chu Yueguang felt perplexed. He wasn’t the type of person who was unwilling to help. He thought they were already at a stage where they told each other everything, yet Gu Qiuyi hadn’t breathed a word to him about something this important.

Kou Huai was still calling him: “Chu Yueguang? Where are you? Are you ‘ghosting’ me like Gu Qiuyi?? Or are you taking a sh*t?”

Chu Yueguang looked down at the message, his lip twitching. Fine. He only told me his nickname, but he gave Kou Huai his real name.

Kou Huai: “? Brother, are you going or not? If we’re brothers, just say OK?”

Chu Yueguang: “I’m going.”

Kou Huai was overjoyed: “Yay! Brother, I love you!”

Chu Yueguang watched with cold eyes. “Did you learn that from Gu Qiuyi?”

Kou Huai replied: “You caught me! He talks quite cutely. When he calls me ‘Brother Kou Huai,’ my heart almost melts, hahahahaha.”

Chu Yueguang: “…”

Chu Yueguang flipped his phone over and stopped looking, turning instead to go take a shower.

When he walked out of the bathroom, his younger sister, Chu Wenxing, was startled. “Brother, why are you wearing such a grim expression? It’s scary.”

Chu Yueguang glanced at her and said, “I won’t be back for dinner tonight. Don’t wait for me.”

Chu Wenxing asked, “Brother, where are you going?”

Chu Yueguang pulled his lips into a slight, cold smile. “Adult business. Children shouldn’t pry.”

After saying that, he turned and went upstairs to change.

Chu Wenxing watched his back and couldn’t help but hug her arms, saying to the maid nearby, “Did you see that? Brother looks like he’s going out to start a fight. He won’t turn into a villain, will he?”

The maid laughed. “How could he? Your brother isn’t that kind of person.”

Chu Wenxing whispered, “That’s not necessarily true. People who are too well-behaved… if they’re suppressed for too long, they might actually turn into villains.”

After returning, Gu Qiuyi finished his bento and spent a normal afternoon. When night fell, Jiang Hansa came to pick him up.

Gu Qiuyi bid farewell to Xu Muqing. Xu Muqing asked, “Do you want me to accompany you?”

Gu Qiuyi shook his head hurriedly. “No, no need!”

If Kou Huai sees Xu Muqing, that would be a disaster!

Xu Muqing had only asked casually. He appeared gentle and approachable, but he wasn’t one to meddle in others’ business.

In a way, he and Jiang Hansa were the same type of person—both were very “fake.”

Xu Muqing left, and Gu Qiuyi got into Jiang Hansa’s car.

It was obvious that Jiang Hansa had an unhideable fear and anxiety in his expression. Even though Gu Qiuyi was helping him, Jiang Hansa was very familiar with the “unspoken rules” after being in that circle for so long. Among the wealthy, interests outweighed everything. The Wang and Kou families usually didn’t interfere with each other and even had some business cooperation; it was unlikely Kou Huai would offend the Wang family just for Gu Qiuyi.

Kou Huai seemed easy-going, but he wasn’t actually that easy to deal with. These people were born with a sense of pride and superiority; it was hard to truly get close to them. Thinking of this, Jiang Hansa’s attention suddenly shifted. He turned to look at Gu Qiuyi and asked, “I forgot to ask you last time—how do you know Kou Huai?”

Gu Qiuyi sighed: “He had actually deleted me, but who knew we’d run into each other that day, so we added each other back.”

Jiang Hansa was curious: “Deleted you? Why?”

Gu Qiuyi said: “It seems I said something about worrying he would rape me, so he got angry and deleted me.”

Jiang Hansa: “…………”

Jiang Hansa was utterly shocked. “You dared to say something like that??”

Gu Qiuyi asked: “Why wouldn’t I? I genuinely had that concern. After all, I’m very good-looking.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Every time he thought Gu Qiuyi might not be that stupid, Gu Qiuyi would use his actions to tell him: He really is an idiot!

Jiang Hansa finally understood why Gu Qiuyi dared to challenge people like Wang Meng. He radiated a sense of innocence from the inside out. He hadn’t witnessed the wickedness of society or the filth hidden within wealthy families, where bodies, spirits, and dignity can be as cheap as grass under the weight of power. He didn’t flatter or grovel; he only had the most direct and honest emotions.

Realizing this, Jiang Hansa fell into a daze—this Gu Qiuyi was like a mirror. If you were good to him, he would naturally return the same value of kindness and enthusiasm.

Gu Qiuyi probably didn’t even know that taking him to Chu Yueguang’s birthday party was entirely out of a dirty, selfish motive.

Chu Yueguang’s personality was too cold, but Kou Huai was less discriminating and could easily be hooked by a pretty face. He, Jiang Hansa, wanted to use Gu Qiuyi’s beautiful face to hook Kou Huai. As long as Kou Huai cared a little bit, Jiang Hansa could use that to talk to him.

His motives were dirty and had never been pure. Gu Qiuyi knew none of this.

Jiang Hansa didn’t speak, but his entire aura was somewhat dejected.

Gu Qiuyi didn’t know what he was thinking. He looked out the window. The yellow night lights shone into the car, shrouding his face in a hazy glow. From Jiang Hansa’s angle, he could faintly see those beautiful eyes shimmering with a cool light.

“Brother Hansa, why do I feel like my heart is beating a bit fast?” Gu Qiuyi muttered softly.

Jiang Hansa froze and asked, “Are you afraid?”

Gu Qiuyi shook his head, turned around, and said with a look of profound depth: “I have a bad feeling.”

Jiang Hansa’s heart sank, and a bitter smile appeared on his face. So what if Kou Huai has a good relationship with him? Compared to interests, these petty friendships are too cheap.

Going there today, it was very likely they would see Kou Huai and Wang Meng shaking hands.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hansa suddenly froze—If they wanted to teach me a lesson, they could just call me. Why specify that Gu Qiuyi must go too?

Jiang Hansa’s mouth suddenly felt dry, his heart beat faster, and his head felt dizzy. Those people always only played with women… had they changed their tastes and started touching men too?

Jiang Hansa’s fingers began to tremble. If that were the case, then Gu Qiuyi going there would be…?!

Gu Qiuyi was startled when Jiang Hansa suddenly grabbed his shoulders. “W-What are you doing?”

Jiang Hansa’s face was unsightly. “Don’t go.”

Gu Qiuyi cried out “Ouch, ouch!” and said, “Brother Hansa, let go first!”

Jiang Hansa released his shoulders and repeated, “Just don’t go.”

Gu Qiuyi’s expression shifted, and he said petulantly, “No way! I already called for backup. How can I not show up?”

Jiang Hansa wiped his face, feeling passive and somewhat broken. “You don’t understand. If we’re ranking wealthy families, Kou Huai is second-tier, but Wang Meng’s family isn’t bad either. They’re in the same tier. If they can avoid offending each other, they will. Kou Huai won’t offend Wang Meng for you.”

He took a deep breath and said, “Kou Huai has dated many people, but his reputation isn’t bad. Every ex-partner praises him for being a gentleman and respectful. He won’t rape you. But Wang Meng is different. He’s done this kind of thing more than once or twice. Every victim has to swallow their grievances because they can’t do anything to him. Don’t you understand what it means when he calls you over?”

Gu Qiuyi was shocked. “Does he want to rape me?”

Jiang Hansa was speechless at his shocked expression. “Had you not considered that possibility?”

Gu Qiuyi said embarrassedly, “I just thought… it’s impossible for everyone to be gay, right?”

Jiang Hansa: “I’m not. I’m straight.”

Gu Qiuyi actually believed this and said wistfully, “You might be the only precious, iron-blooded straight man left in this world.”

After saying that, he took out his phone and messaged Kou Huai: “Waaaaah, Brother Kou Huai, Jiang Hansa says Wang Meng called me over because he wants to rape me! It’s so scary! Brother, you’ll definitely help me, right?”

Kou Huai acted as if he had bought a villa inside WeChat; he could always reply instantly. “Don’t be afraid. I said I’d help you, so I definitely will. When has your brother ever lied to you?”

Gu Qiuyi said: “Waaaaah, Brother Kou Huai is so good, thank you! If I didn’t have your help, I wouldn’t know what to do today.”

Kou Huai said: “Don’t worry. A piece of trash like Wang Meng—your brother can take down two with one punch. If he dares touch you, I’ll make sure he never sees tomorrow’s sun.”

Gu Qiuyi: “Wow! Really? Brother Kou Huai is so cool! With you here, I can rest easy!!!!”

Gu Qiuyi showed the chat history to Jiang Hansa. “See? Kou Huai said he’ll help me.”

Jiang Hansa felt a twitch in his stomach seeing the screen full of “waaaaah’s,” but he soon remembered something and asked Gu Qiuyi, “Aren’t you dating Chu Yueguang? Why did you look for Kou Huai?”

Gu Qiuyi: “Uh, actually…”

The words were at the tip of his tongue, but Gu Qiuyi swallowed them back down. “Brother Hansa, you’ve misunderstood. I’m really not in that kind of relationship with Brother Yueguang.”

Jiang Hansa: “?”

Seeing Gu Qiuyi’s guilty expression, Jiang Hansa vaguely felt something was off, but he didn’t say more. He just asked to confirm, “It’s not too late to turn back. If Kou Huai doesn’t help us, you… you really will be… you know?”

Gu Qiuyi looked at Jiang Hansa. The worry on his face didn’t seem faked. How could this Jiang Hansa be the person in the original book who drugged Xu Muqing after failing to be a pimp?

Gu Qiuyi didn’t quite understand, but he knew that right now, they were standing together as partners in justice! He shook his head and said with a look of profound depth: “I’ve already come this far.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

It wasn’t that far; they soon arrived near the Jinyu Hotel. Jiang Hansa still couldn’t persuade him to go back.

Will Kou Huai really help them? Jiang Hansa’s heart was full of trepidation.

Gu Qiuyi and Jiang Hansa got out of the car and walked to the hotel entrance. They didn’t see Kou Huai. Gu Qiuyi messaged him: “Brother Kou Huai, why haven’t you arrived yet?”

Kou Huai replied quickly: “Qiuqiu, we’re stuck in traffic on this side. It might take another ten minutes or so. Wait for me at the entrance; your brother will be there soon.”

Gu Qiuyi replied: “Then hurry up, I’m scared.”

Kou Huai said: “Don’t worry. I wish I could grow wings and fly there. Give me ten minutes, OK?”

Gu Qiuyi: “OK!”

Just as he was looking down to reply, someone walked over and said in an unfriendly tone, “Jiang Hansa, why are you standing here like an idiot? Didn’t we tell you the room number?”

Jiang Hansa’s expression was poor. Gu Qiuyi looked up. When the man saw Gu Qiuyi’s face, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes. “Ooh, this classmate of yours is actually quite good-looking.”

“Good-looking” was an understatement. Even in their school, boys with a face as beautiful as Gu Qiuyi’s were rare. Qi Shi licked his lips. With looks like this, doing it with a guy isn’t unacceptable.

Jiang Hansa saw the lust in his eyes, and his face became even more unsightly. He reached out to shield Gu Qiuyi behind him.

Seeing this action, Qi Shi sneered. “What, a whole year and you still haven’t improved? If you don’t have the ability, don’t try to be a ‘hero saving the flower.’ That will only make things worse for you.”

He glanced at Gu Qiuyi behind Jiang Hansa’s back. “Get up there. Don’t make me say it twice.”

Gu Qiuyi’s fingers were tapping rapidly to send a message: “Brother Kou Huai!!! It’s so scary, waaaaah. We were seen by Wang Meng’s person, and he’s making me go up. Brother, hurry up, I’m really scared!!!”

Kou Huai: “!!!! Don’t worry, the traffic cleared up! I’ll be there in five minutes! I even brought gloves for you—the kind for hitting people. If anyone dares touch you, put on these gloves and slap them across the face. Your brother will back you up, don’t panic!”

Gu Qiuyi: “Wow! Can I hit them?”

Kou Huai: “Why not? Your brother is covering you! But don’t hit Wang Meng—I can’t hold that one back. As for the others, hit them as much as you want. Small fries!”

Gu Qiuyi asked: “Can I use a kick to the groin?”

Kou Huai: “?”

Gu Qiuyi: “I won’t break it. I can control the force and just make them impotent!”

Kou Huai: “…”

Kou Huai: “Wait, Qiu, do you know who they are?”

Gu Qiuyi: “Didn’t you say you’d cover me?”

Kou Huai: “…”

Kou Huai: “If you don’t marry me and give me a son, I don’t think I can cover you.”

Qi Shi entered the elevator. Seeing Gu Qiuyi staring at his phone and typing rapidly, he let out a cold laugh. “What, looking for someone? Let me tell you, if you dare call the police tonight, don’t even think about surviving in the capital city in the future.”

Jiang Hansa’s face remained unsightly. Hearing Qi Shi’s words, he couldn’t offer any reaction.

Gu Qiuyi looked up at Qi Shi and memorized his face. He’ll be the first one I hit later.

The elevator soon arrived. Gu Qiuyi didn’t have time to say more to Kou Huai. He sent one last message: “Brother, hurry up!” then put the phone in his pocket.

He and Jiang Hansa walked into Room 508. There were six people inside, including Qi Shi. Zou Shu wasn’t among them; he was somewhat wary of Chu Yueguang’s warning and didn’t dare come this time.

Wang Meng’s group had booked a presidential suite with a lot of space and huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The bed was massive and could accommodate several people rolling around. Beside the bed, several expensive-looking cameras were set up, their purpose being self-evident.

Wang Meng, the leader, had already showered and was wrapped in a bath towel. He was sitting on the edge of the bed smoking. When he saw Jiang Hansa and Gu Qiuyi arrive, his eyes narrowed slightly and he laughed. “Jiang Hansa, long time no see.”

Jiang Hansa’s face was pale. He called out in a low voice: “Young Master Wang.”

Wang Meng’s gaze fell on Gu Qiuyi. His attitude was casual and full of contempt, like he was beckoning a small dog on the street. “Come here.”

He patted his thigh. “Sit here. Do you know how to serve people?”

Several boys nearby let out an ambiguous roar of laughter.
