The Silly Shou Transmigrated Into a Book - Chapter 29

Gu Qiuyi was a bit dazed, not knowing what he meant by that sentence. “Yes, I only have five brothers. Why, what’s wrong?”

Drunkenly Reclining: “.”

Gu Qiuyi: “…Brother Orange, why do you always send punctuation? Are you a primary school student?”

Drunkenly Reclining went silent. After a long while, he finally replied: “.”

Gu Qiuyi: “…………” Gu Qiuyi: “Brother Orange, if you keep doing this, I’m going to blacklist you.”

Drunkenly Reclining did not reply again. Gu Qiuyi sent a “?”, only for that red exclamation mark to pop up again.

Gu Qiuyi: “…” Did I really run into a psycho?

Gu Qiuyi wasn’t angry, however, because he had already gotten the money. He started tapping on his calculator again—he already had 820,000 yuan! Once he saved up to a million, he would buy a house and then rent it out to collect monthly rent. Just thinking about it made him feel blissful. He couldn’t afford a house in the Capital, but he could buy one in a more remote area; a million should be enough for that, right?

In reality, 300,000 could buy a big house in his hometown county, but in this book, in this place, 800,000 could probably only buy a bathroom. While lamenting that inflation made money feel like nothing, Gu Qiuyi lay down to prepare for sleep. Just as he closed his eyes, another WeChat message arrived. Finally losing his patience, he powered off his phone without even opening his eyes.

He slept soundly. The next day, he was woken up by the dorm leader, Li Qingfeng. Outside, the dorm supervisor began knocking on doors one by one to wake everyone. Li Qingfeng said, “Everyone get up. We have to wear school uniforms today for inspection.”

Gu Qiuyi hurried to wash up, then rummaged through his wardrobe for his summer uniform. Looking left and right, he climbed onto his bed and pulled the curtain to change. When he came down, a large patch of his waist was exposed. Li Qingfeng, passing by, was flashed by that brilliant patch of white and couldn’t help but reach out to tug down the hem of the uniform to cover the skin. “Gu Qiuyi, your uniform is too small.”

Gu Qiuyi felt the hem; it was indeed much smaller—as soon as he raised his hand, a section of his slender, white waist would show. Li Qingfeng said, “Tell Teacher Liu and buy a new set.”

Gu Qiuyi gave a nod. Unlike the others, he didn’t need to go to the cafeteria for breakfast; he went straight to the classroom. Jiang Hansa sent him a message: “Babe, don’t forget that breakfast isn’t allowed in the classroom today. Come to the school gate, eat first before coming in.”

Gu Qiuyi replied: “Oh, okay, I’m coming. What are we having for breakfast?” Jiang Hansa: “Xiao Long Bao and yam porridge.” Gu Qiuyi: “What’s the filling in the Xiao Long Bao?” Jiang Hansa: “…You’re so wordy. You’ll know when you get out here.” Gu Qiuyi: “?? You’re being mean to me again!” Jiang Hansa: “…” This person is so damn annoying. Jiang Hansa: “Chicken and shiitake mushroom.” Gu Qiuyi said with satisfaction: “I’m coming right now!”

Then he remembered someone was looking for him. Exiting his chat with Jiang Hansa, he found it was Kou Huai. He clicked in to see: “Qiuqiu, Brother misses you. Talk to Brother for a bit?”

Kou Huai had transferred 520 yuan to him. “Brother recently bought gifts for the family and has no money left. I can only send this much to Qiuqiu. Chat with me; Brother is so annoyed.”

Gu Qiuyi hadn’t replied earlier, so Kou Huai had rambled through over a dozen messages by himself, finally ending with: “I get it, did you go to sleep? Alright, Brother will find you tomorrow.”

Gu Qiuyi replied: “Brother Kou Huai, I went to sleep early yesterday. What’s troubling you?” He looked at the transfer with a bit of greed and asked: “Brother Kou Huai, do you really have no money? Do you need me to lend you some?”

Kou Huai replied immediately: “Qiuqiu, you’re up this early?”

Gu Qiuyi had already reached the school gate. Seeing Jiang Hansa’s car, he walked over, skillfully opened the door, and sat inside. A small table had already been set up between the seats with breakfast laid out. Seeing him holding his phone, Jiang Hansa asked, “Who are you chatting with?”

Gu Qiuyi replied, “Kou Huai.”

Jiang Hansa fell silent and placed a Xiao Long Bao into Gu Qiuyi’s bowl of porridge. Gu Qiuyi ate his porridge with a spoon while typing with one hand. His fingers were long, so this wasn’t difficult. Jiang Hansa only felt that he typed exceptionally fast—the kind of fast where you could barely see the movement—and couldn’t help but lean over to see what he was typing.

Gu Qiuyi replied to Kou Huai: “Yeah, I’m eating breakfast now. I have to go to early self-study in a bit.”

Kou Huai: “Brother is really annoyed. Qiuqiu, can you give Brother some advice?” Gu Qiuyi: “Tell me, Brother Kou Huai, I’m listening.” Kou Huai: “Actually, it’s not a big deal. I don’t have any great ideals in this life; I just want to ‘eat and wait to die’ (live a life of leisure). But my parents want me to inherit the family business, and I don’t want to.”

Gu Qiuyi: “…” Kou Huai: “What’s wrong? Why the ellipsis?” Gu Qiuyi: “Brother Kou Huai, do you know what my dream is?” Kou Huai: “? What?” Gu Qiuyi: “My dream in this life is to be a rich second generation! Brother, you’re already a rich second generation and you can even inherit the family business. Isn’t that very comfortable?”

Kou Huai sent a sweating emoji. “Qiu, you’re too naive. Being a rich second generation isn’t that easy. Before taking over the business, I have to live walking on eggshells. Don’t look at how often I change partners; my parents are watching. If I go to a hotel with them, believe it or not, before I even enter the room, my parents are calling me.”

“If I take over the business, I’ll have even less freedom. I’ll have to handle company affairs every day, and my parents will even pick out my future spouse for me.”

Kou Huai added: “Sigh, telling you all this, you probably won’t understand. My parents recently made me enter their company to learn. I have to follow them to cocktail parties and exchange pleasantries with those middle-aged, balding CEOs. It’s really boring.”

Gu Qiuyi: “…I indeed don’t understand your worry. But I’m curious, are those CEOs really all bald?”

Kou Huai: “???” Kou Huai: “Your focus is truly unique.”

Gu Qiuyi asked: “Are there no handsome guys? Is everything in novels a lie?”

Kou Huai: “…What novels have you been reading? To reach the position of CEO, they’re usually uncles in their thirties or forties, right? However, Chu Yueguang’s father took over the company at eighteen; he was really handsome back then.”

Gu Qiuyi: “?? Is there a photo? I want to see.” Kou Huai: “Wait a second, let me look. My mom has a photo of him.” Gu Qiuyi: “…Wait, why does your mom have a photo of him?” Kou Huai: “Oh, they were university classmates. It’s in the graduation photo.”

Gu Qiuyi waited a moment for the photo. When it arrived, he let out a “Wow.” “He really is handsome.”

Chu Yueguang looked a lot like him, but perhaps because of Chu Yueguang’s mother, Chu Yueguang’s features weren’t as heroic as his father’s, appearing more like a noble-style beauty. Looking at the photo, Gu Qiuyi couldn’t help but take a few extra sips of porridge. Chu Yueguang was truly the “Male Lead Attacker”—his looks were indeed too good.

Kou Huai suddenly brought up Chu Yueguang. “Speaking of Chu Yueguang, there’s something very funny.” Gu Qiuyi: “What?” Kou Huai: “He blacklisted me, hahaha.”

Gu Qiuyi was surprised. “Why did he blacklist you?”

Kou Huai naturally didn’t dare tell the truth, so he said vaguely: “Because I said he was like a primary school student, so he blacklisted me. Don’t you think this behavior is very ‘primary school’?”

Gu Qiuyi: “…” He didn’t quite believe it. “How is that possible? Did you do something else? Brother Yueguang wouldn’t be that petty.”

Kou Huai wanted to ask ‘Why are you still calling him Brother Yueguang?’ but he didn’t. He turned around, screenshotted that part of the chat, and sent it to Gu Qiuyi. “See, I said he was like a primary schooler, and he blacklisted me.”

Gu Qiuyi looked at it and asked: “What did you guys say before that? He definitely wouldn’t blacklist you for no reason.”

Kou Huai couldn’t help but ask: “Qiuqiu, that’s not right. You were blacklisted by him too; why are you still speaking up for him?”

Gu Qiuyi: “Brother Kou Huai, you’re the strange one. Isn’t this technically speaking behind Brother Yueguang’s back? Aren’t you best friends?”

Kou Huai: “Uh, we are indeed best friends, but I’m not exactly speaking behind his back now, am I? I’m just sharing a fact with you.”

Gu Qiuyi: “No. You’re telling me this just because you want me to think he’s petty and lacks magnanimity, right?”

Kou Huai: “…” How is he so smart all of a sudden?

Gu Qiuyi: “Am I right?” Kou Huai said awkwardly: “I didn’t mean it that way. Sigh, forget it, let’s not talk about this.”

Gu Qiuyi: “Brother Kou Huai, you seem a bit ‘off.’ You guys are best friends, right?” Kou Huai: “Of course he is, he’s definitely my best friend!” Gu Qiuyi said sincerely: “Then a friend is someone to be protected and treated with sincerity. You should be good to Brother Yueguang and not have conflicts with him.”

That way he won’t become impotent, Gu Qiuyi thought.

Kou Huai: “I do treat him that way, but he blacklists me whenever he feels like it.” Gu Qiuyi: “Maybe he was scammed by me and is in a bad mood. I did go too far. Brother Yueguang might still be in a fit of anger; don’t be mad at him. If you want to blame someone, just blame me.”

Kou Huai: “? How could I blame you! Forget it Qiuqiu, let’s not talk about him. I won’t be mad at him. We’ve been brothers for over ten years; how could I be mad over such a small thing.”

Gu Qiuyi: “Exactly. You’ve been brothers for over ten years, so you must never fall out or break off the friendship over small things.”

Seeing this, Kou Huai couldn’t help but laugh. “I won’t. I know that much.” Gu Qiuyi urged again: “You must remember—never fall out or break off the friendship. After all those years of sentiment, nothing can compare.” Kou Huai: “Alright, alright, Brother knows. Don’t worry.” Gu Qiuyi: “That’s good then.”

After a while, Kou Huai couldn’t help but ask: “Qiu, if Chu Yueguang added you again, would you accept?” Gu Qiuyi: “That’s impossible, boo-hoo. He’s so angry.” Kou Huai: “I said if. If he added you again, would you?” Gu Qiuyi: “Adding me to scold me, or…?” Kou Huai: “…Adding you to date you. Would you accept?”

Gu Qiuyi: “!!!!”
