The Silly Shou Transmigrated Into a Book - Chapter 5

Kou Huai had reached the absolute limit of his patience with Gu Qiuyi. With a distorted expression of rage, he deleted Gu Qiuyi from his contacts.

Who does he think he is? Afraid that I’ll rape him?

While Kou Huai did have some stray thoughts about taking a little advantage, he definitely wouldn’t go so far as to force a relationship with Gu Qiuyi.

Of course, this wasn’t because Kou Huai didn’t want to; it had a lot to do with his upbringing. His father was a henpecked husband, and his mother was an extremely strict university professor. Under his parents’ rigorous education, Kou Huai wasn’t actually that bold. Under his mother’s constant lecturing, he even had a bit of a psychological shadow, fearing he might accidentally end up with an illegitimate child or catch some kind of disease.

Furthermore, he didn’t consider himself a very meticulous or cautious person, so he simply avoided those two possibilities at the source. This was the reason why, at 19 years old and after having several boyfriends and girlfriends, he was still a virgin.

Gu Qiuyi was indeed beautiful, and his temperament appeared exceptionally pure and innocent, which made Kou Huai’s heart flutter for no reason. But it wasn’t as if he couldn’t live without him. Given his status and position, there were plenty of beautiful boys lining up to date him. He had deigned to speak a few words to this guy, yet the person actually thought he wanted to rape him—the guy’s ego was a bit too much.

After deleting the contact, Kou Huai felt a momentary sense of refreshment.

However, very quickly, a new friend request popped up. Kou Huai knew it was Gu Qiuyi. He let out a cold sneer and tossed his phone aside; he would absolutely never talk to Gu Qiuyi again.

Not long after, however, he leaned over to pick the phone up from the carpet and glanced at the friend request reason. With just one look, his blood pressure spiked.

The reason for the friend request read: “I won’t blame you for deleting me. I understand the principle that ‘honest advice is hard on the ears.'”

Kou Huai was laughed at by the sheer rage—truly laughed at. He rejected the friend request and couldn’t be bothered to deal with him anymore.

Remembering something, he found Chu Yueguang and asked: “I’ve broken off my friendship with that guy. You should delete him too.”

Chu Yueguang: “Broken off?”

Kou Huai: “Yeah, this guy is mentally ill!!!”

Seeing Kou Huai use three exclamation marks in a row, Chu Yueguang couldn’t help but be curious. “Ill? What kind of illness?”

Kou Huai sneered: “What else could it be? Narcissism.”

Chu Yueguang: “Oh.”

Seeing the reply, Kou Huai assumed Chu Yueguang would delete Gu Qiuyi, so he didn’t say anything further. In any case, he wasn’t going to waste any more time on Gu Qiuyi.

Kou Huai quickly called up a few buddies to go out and play. As long as he wanted to, his speed of getting into a relationship was very fast. Being so enraged by Gu Qiuyi today, he managed to find a new boyfriend that very night.

As for Gu Qiuyi, being deleted by Kou Huai didn’t affect his mood at all. School was starting in a few days, so he searched around and found Jiang Hansa.

Jiang Hansa was the boy who had brought “Gu Qiuyi” to Chu Yueguang’s birthday party. He was also Gu Qiuyi’s classmate. He was distantly related to the Chu family—very distantly—and his family background was only upper-middle class; not great, but not bad. However, he was enthusiastic and cheerful with an excellent social circle. Even in the circle of Kou Huai and Chu Yueguang, people would give him some face.

The original “Gu Qiuyi” had a decent relationship with him, which was why Gu Qiuyi dared to go talk to him.

Jiang Hansa thought he had something important to say, but the moment Gu Qiuyi opened his mouth, it was: “Brother Hansa, can I borrow your summer homework to copy?”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

This request was truly plain and unpretentious.

Jiang Hansa had no reason to refuse and immediately said he would bring it over.

Gu Qiuyi originally hadn’t planned on doing the homework, but his awe for teachers was engraved in his bones. Actually deciding not to do the homework made him feel restless, so he changed his mind and decided to just copy it to get the job done.

When Jiang Hansa brought the homework over, Gu Qiuyi quickly led him into the room to sit. Jiang Hansa flipped through the summer homework Gu Qiuyi had placed on the desk and found only one worksheet completed. He couldn’t help but be puzzled. “What did you do this entire summer?”

Gu Qiuyi answered casually: “Just played. Didn’t do anything.”

Just as Jiang Hansa was about to say something, his sharp eyes caught Gu Qiuyi’s phone on the desk. The screen happened to be on the WeChat page, and the pinned profile picture and ID were very familiar—it was clearly the WeChat of his distant cousin, Chu Yueguang.

Jiang Hansa’s finger twitched slightly. He spoke up as if nothing was wrong: “Where were you at Chu Yueguang’s birthday party yesterday? I didn’t really see you much.”

Gu Qiuyi seemed oblivious to the scrutinizing gaze. Thinking of something, a very puzzled expression appeared on his face. “I went to the bathroom. You rich people’s bathrooms are really weird. Why on earth would you install a giant floor-to-ceiling mirror around the toilet? What’s the point? To appreciate the process while you’re at it?”

Jiang Hansa: “Uh, that…”

Gu Qiuyi condemned: “That design is too anti-human. I couldn’t even pee because of it.”

Jiang Hansa: “…It is indeed anti-human.”

Not wanting to be led off-track, Jiang Hansa tried hard to bring the topic back and asked him: “This is Chu Yueguang’s WeChat, right? How did you add him?”

Gu Qiuyi said: “Oh, I asked for it.”

Jiang Hansa swallowed. “You asked and he just gave it to you?”

Gu Qiuyi nodded. “Yeah.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Even though he was related to Chu Yueguang, it was a relationship eighteen miles removed. He had cultivated the connection for several years before getting Chu Yueguang’s WeChat and being able to say a few words to him. He didn’t expect Gu Qiuyi to get it just like that.

Jiang Hansa couldn’t describe how he felt, but he was glad he had brought Gu Qiuyi to the party.

This move was correct. It wasn’t in vain that he had deliberately tried to befriend Gu Qiuyi because of his clear, refined, and beautiful face.

The smile on Jiang Hansa’s face became much more sincere. He said casually: “Chu Yueguang’s personality isn’t very good, right? Have you chatted with him?”

Gu Qiuyi flipped through Jiang Hansa’s homework, sighing: “I don’t want to do homework. If only someone would help me write it.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

He wasn’t stupid; there was no way he couldn’t hear the implication in Gu Qiuyi’s words. He pinched his fingers and whispered: “Then… should I help you write it?”

Gu Qiuyi said in surprise: “Really? You’re willing to help me write my homework?”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Fake. Too fake.

When did Gu Qiuyi become so hypocritical?

Jiang Hansa put on a hypocritical smile. “Of course. I’m very willing to help you.”

Gu Qiuyi almost jumped up. “Wow, you’re so nice!! As expected of our Class Monitor—you’re even willing to help me with homework. I don’t even know how to thank you!”

Jiang Hansa said insincerely: “Don’t mention it. We’re friends, aren’t we?”

Gu Qiuyi nodded. “Right, right, right! You’re my best friend!”

Hearing this, Jiang Hansa felt at ease. Gu Qiuyi didn’t have many friends at school—he was the only one. He truly was Gu Qiuyi’s best friend.

However, in just one day, why did he feel like Gu Qiuyi’s personality had changed a lot?

Jiang Hansa was a bit confused but didn’t think too much of it, assuming Gu Qiuyi simply had more confidence now that he knew Chu Yueguang. He sat down and began to copy the homework for Gu Qiuyi. While copying, he didn’t forget to ask the previous question: “You haven’t answered me yet. Have you talked to Chu Yueguang?”

Gu Qiuyi sat on the edge of the bed playing Candy Crush. Hearing Jiang Hansa’s words, he answered absentmindedly: “More than just talking—we’ve even video called.”

Jiang Hansa was shocked. This was not Chu Yueguang’s style at all.

He probed further: “Then what did you talk about?”

Gu Qiuyi said: “He said he knows multiple foreign languages. Sigh, I only know multiple ‘animal languages.’ The gap between people is truly huge.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

Chu Yueguang would talk about something that deep with someone?

Jiang Hansa found it hard to believe, but he didn’t doubt Gu Qiuyi’s words because Chu Yueguang received the most elite education; knowing several foreign languages was perfectly normal.

The more Jiang Hansa probed, the more alarmed he became. The efficiency of copying homework for Gu Qiuyi immediately doubled, and he finished all of Gu Qiuyi’s summer homework that same day.

Gu Qiuyi held the stack of summer homework—half a palm high—and was deeply moved. “Brother Hansa, thank you so much! I asked Chu Yueguang if he could help me write my summer homework, but he wouldn’t. I thought I was going to be scolded by the teacher. Luckily I have you!”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

His voice was strained: “You even asked Chu Yueguang to help you write your summer homework?”

Gu Qiuyi said: “Yeah. He wouldn’t help, and he even said in a very stern tone: ‘I am not writing your summer homework for you.’ He was so fierce.”

Jiang Hansa: “…”

What is wrong with this world? He looked at Gu Qiuyi’s face and seemed to understand something. This really is a world that looks only at faces.

Jiang Hansa left Gu Qiuyi’s house feeling somewhat dazed yet ecstatic.

Gu Qiuyi contentedly held his summer homework. While flipping through it, he filmed a short video and sent it to Chu Yueguang: “Brother Yueguang, as long as I think of you, my body and mind are filled with strength. I finished all my summer homework in just one day. Thank you; you are my spiritual idol!”

Chu Yueguang looked at Gu Qiuyi’s message. His finger moved as if to type, then he held back.

Gu Qiuyi added: “My hand is all red from writing, waaaaah.”

He then sent Chu Yueguang a photo of a bright red palm.

Chu Yueguang’s gaze fell on the photo. The fingers were slender and long, and the palm wasn’t too large; it looked fleshy and quite cute.

Chu Yueguang looked at it for a good while before slowly replying: “What grade are you in?”

Gu Qiuyi replied immediately: “Brother, I’m a senior in high school!”

Chu Yueguang didn’t reply again.

Gu Qiuyi asked: “Brother, are you still there?”

Chu Yueguang asked: “Why did you break off your friendship with Kou Huai?”

Gu Qiuyi froze for a moment, his hand already ahead of his brain as he typed away: “Did Kou Huai tell Brother that we broke off our friendship?”

Chu Yueguang: “Is that not the case?”

Gu Qiuyi: “No. It was him who unilaterally deleted me. He wanted to send me a picture of his junk, but I strictly refused him. I even advised him to cherish his own body and not randomly show his body parts to others. Then he seemed to get angry, waaaaah. Brother, I wasn’t wrong, was I? Even boys should cherish themselves properly; that kind of thing should obviously only be shown to a future partner.”

Chu Yueguang hadn’t expected this to be the reason. His finger tapped the screen, his thoughts unknown.

“What do you think, Brother? The moment I saw you, I felt you were my role model. You’re definitely not that kind of person like Brother Kou Huai!”

Chu Yueguang looked once more at Gu Qiuyi’s cute cat profile picture. The corner of his mouth secretly curled into a tiny arc. He slowly typed:

“Mm. You are right.”
