[R18] Pretending to be a scumbag – “Pretending to Be a Scumbag” Chapter 10 [English]

Chapter 10

Before Xie Yu went to bed, he was in a very good mood and posted a message on WeChat Moments: It’s over[/smile].

It made Zhou Dalei’s imagination wander again.

Zhou Dalei combined all the contents of this brother’s circle of friends for more than a week, and he had already imagined in his mind a story of puppy love that is extremely desolate, inseparable, I love you, you love him, you don’t belong to me after all, and I will destroy you if I can’t get you.

The plot twists and turns, climax after another, mysterious and exciting.

Zhou Dalei carefully commented and expressed concern: …let him let go of the past.

Xie Yu didn’t quite understand where he’s inexplicable attitude of “brothers, you and I, knowing everything” came from: “What do you know?”

Zhou Dalei replied: I understand…I understand, don’t be sad.

…

Xie Yu later asked himself more than once, if he had known that there were so many problems in this game and that he would encounter a crazy competitor who was chasing after him, would he have clicked on this game?

——he probably won’t.

Won’t.

I won’t even play until I die.

The whole server celebrated the night when Xie Yu defeated “Ti Wang”.

Just like the poor people who were fighting against the evil forces were finally liberated, they wanted to stand up and sing a few songs, and their thinking became much smoother when doing the questions.

“Learning is the only thing in my life”: July 25th, I will always remember this day. The sky in the liberated area is blue.

“I love to memorize words”: A question king fell, and millions of people saw hope.

“Top ten in grade”: I went to bed, I was so happy. When I get up tomorrow, I will write ten more sets of test papers to express my inner joy.

This group of people could not be happy for long. The ten sets of test papers for the “top ten in grade” had not been completed. The next night, the missing person Bu Bilian suddenly came online.This brother kept working on the questions until dawn, working tirelessly and persistently to regain the first place.

The sky in the liberated areas is no longer blue.

When Xie Yu went online again, he saw people in the communication area wailing, cursing, and even calling God X to fight. They were extremely violent.

“English class representative”: Did you go to watch the game yesterday?

“For a better tomorrow”: …Yes, don’t Bilian find us watching the game halfway through solving the problem, and write “Stop looking, you can’t understand” in the answer area.

“For a better tomorrow”: He even opened a small account to watch our communication area and humiliate us.

Xie Yu: “…”

Although everyone has a high voice for God X, Xie Yu accompanied the title king for several rounds. Today, I will be the first, and I will be the first tomorrow. In order to keep the ranking, I didn’t sleep for several nights. I was so sleepy that I was afraid I would die if I continued playing.

He was thinking about letting it go and going offline to sleep. There was no point in fighting anymore, but he couldn’t control his hands. After answering a question, he habitually clicked on the next question. After clicking, the system prompt box popped up.

[The question king requests to add you as a friend. Do you agree?】

Xie Yu refused three or four times, but looking at his attitude, if he didn’t agree, he probably wouldn’t be able to continue with this question.

Question King: Are you sleepy?

jsdhwdmaX:?

Questioner: Let’s discuss it and call it a truce. I have to go to bed.

The two reached a consensus and Xie Yu planned to log off. However, when he finished taking a shower and went to bed, he accidentally discovered that the online status of his friend “Question King” was followed by a line of small words “Current Questions”.

“…”

Xie Yu felt that he might have been tricked.

In the blink of an eye, most of the vacation time has passed, and the closer to the start of school, Ms. Gu Xuelan is more anxious than Xie Yu himself, as if she is the one going to school: “Have you finished your homework?”

“Yeah.”

“Do I have to be divided into classes in my second year of high school?”

“Yeah.”

Gu Xuelan put a piece of scrambled egg into Xie Yu’s bowl and planned to adopt a gentle policy: “I don’t know which class I can be assigned to. You should be more restrained this semester and don’t be impulsive when things happen. I won’t argue with you about those things in the past. Just start from this semester and behave well.”

“…Hmm.”

No matter what she said to Xie Yu, she always said “um”, and Gu Xuelan also knew that she would be sure to do whatever she said after she finished humming. She put down the bowl and chopsticks, stopped talking, and sat opposite Xie Yu and watched him eat quietly.

Xie Yu picked up the fish meat with chopsticks, carefully shaved off the fish bones, then put it into Ms. Gu’s bowl, raised his head and said, “Why don’t you eat it? You can feel full just by looking at me?”

Gu Xuelan looked at the piece of fish. After a few minutes, she wanted to say something but didn’t know how to say it. Her tone was a little cautious: “Second year high school student, do you still want to live on campus?”

Xie Yu’s hand paused.

He knows what Ms. Gu means.

Zhong Jie is going to be a freshman soon, and he will basically not be able to meet him at home.Xie Yu and Zhong Jie always quarreled when they met. If they were together, they would start fighting every minute without anyone stopping them. No one could tolerate the other.

Gu Xuelan asked again: “Don’t you plan to go home?”

Xie Yu quickly finished the remaining bites of food in the bowl: “No, it’s good to live on campus, the conditions are not bad, classes are convenient, and the classroom is just a few steps away. Besides, it’s not like I won’t come back on weekends.”

Gu Xuelan wanted to say something more, but Xie Yu interrupted: “Mom, it has nothing to do with you, don’t think too much about it. It’s not because of Zhong Jie or you that I live in school. It’s my own problem.”

“Your own problem, what problem?”

Xie Yu didn’t want to say more, and didn’t know how to say it: “It’s nothing. It’s just a campus. I’m old enough, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Liyang No. 2 Middle School strongly encourages students to live on campus, believing that this can train students’ ability to be independent.

On the first day of school, the principal delivered a mobilization speech on “living in school”: “School is a place for students to learn, but parents, as your children grow up at each different stage, you also need to continue to learn. One of the most important lessons is to learn to let go properly… He can already run, and even runs ahead of you. How can you treat him as a child who can’t walk or eat? Of course, this requires courage – you love him, but you have to be ruthless, you have to let himFall and let him learn to get up on his own.”

I don’t know why, but Gu Xuelan remembers this passage particularly deeply.

She had to admit that there was some truth in what she said, but sometimes it didn’t matter if she knew the truth.

“Then I’ll help you pack your things,” Gu Xuelan said. “I’ll sort them out first, and then I’ll look at the shortcomings.”

As the luggage becomes more and more bulging, the vacation is coming to an end.

Also coming to an end is the Summer Tournament of Title Champions.

Previously, Xie Yu and Ti Wang were arguing until they couldn’t keep their eyes open. Later, after the two abandoned their agreement to compete on a deadline, they tacitly never went online again.

At first, Xie Yu thought this was another ploy to get rid of Bilian. Later, after quietly watching for a few days, he found that the question king really did not go online to answer the questions. He was quite surprised.

It had been almost a month since the last launch. Xie Yu clicked on the Wisdom Fruit APP – Wisdom Fruit rotated twice on the screen, and then a line of big words popped up: The game is temporarily offline due to investor withdrawal.

“…”

Is it really cold?

Is it so cold?

Xie Yu could almost imagine what those people obsessed with studying would say: divestment?How come learning is so interesting and no one plays it? Why are there so few people who love learning?

When he received a call from Zhou Dalei, Xie Yu had not yet calmed down: “Boss Xie, are you coming tonight? Aunt Mei said that she would invite you to come over for dinner today to celebrate the start of school, and asked us to give you some encouragement so that you can explore your potential in learning in the new semester…Boss Xie? I heard a squeak, what are you doing during the summer vacation? I see that you are living a very psychedelic life every day.”

“It’s very psychedelic.” Xie Yu said, “It’s really psychedelic.”

Zhou Dalei got up late, yawned, and wore a pair of underpants. In his other hand, he carried an iron basin with white background and red flowers and peeling paint and walked outside the house. He put the washbasin under the faucet, turned on the switch, and listened to the sound of water running, “What time will you come? I’ll pick you up at the station.”

Xie Yu said: “It’s just a few steps away and you can pick me up.”

Zhou Dalei: “Hello, brothers, I’m coming regardless. If I stay at home, I’ll be talked about by these women… By the way, is Aunt Lan coming?”

“She’s not coming,” Xie Yu said, “she said something was wrong.”

“I haven’t felt it yet, but it feels like we haven’t seen each other for a long time.” Zhou Dalei added, “Okay, I’ll hang up now and wash my face.”

When Xie Yu got off the bus, Zhou Dalei was holding a cigarette and wearing flip-flops, squatting by the street sign and smoking. People coming and going took a detour when they saw him, thinking he was some social guy.

Xie Yu raised his foot and kicked He: “Have you had enough pretense? Let’s go.”

Zhou Dalei directly held the cigarette butt and pressed it to the ground. He put out the cigarette in two or two strokes, patted his pants and stood up: “I’m not pretending. I don’t know who demolished the bench here. I should have been sitting there very elegantly waiting for you.”

Xie Yu looked over, and sure enough, next to the stop sign, where there used to be special waiting seats, there were now only four lonely iron poles left.

“You’re awesome,” Zhou Dalei said, “You can do anything. I really admire him.”

The volume of goods shipped from Guangmao has not been large recently, so Xu Yanmei got some free time. Then she remembered that Xie Yuhe and the others were about to start school, and suggested that everyone have a meal together.

Xie Yu hasn’t been to this residential building for a long time.

There are mottled walls and a narrow corridor between the two buildings. Anyone shouting can be heard across the corridor. In the past, Zhou Dalei was always beaten with his pants off by Lei’s mother, until his two buttocks were red. As soon as Lei’s mother “started work”, Aunt Mei would open the window on the opposite side and lie on the balcony with great interest and shout: “——Lei Zai, what happened again? Tell me, Aunt Mei will judge you.”

In comparison, Ms. Gu is more concerned with saving face. She curses at the bottom of her voice, does not hit anyone, and uses cold violence.

As we walked all the way, there were wires above our heads, and the entire living environment looked dirty and messy.

Before Xie Yu and Zhou Dalei reached the door, Aunt Mei opened the window, and the smell of cooking fumes mixed with the aroma of home-cooked food floated out: “Don’t come up, help me buy a bag of salt from the canteen, there is no salt at home!”

Zhou Dalei raised his head: “I know, I know.”

“Is Jasmine open?”

Zhou Dalei wanted to say let’s go to the canteen. When he heard what Xie Yu said, his mind took a few detours and followed He’s gaze to see the shy pot of jasmine on his balcony: “Ah – yes, the pot that Damei gave when she left only had a few flower bones. I thought it would be a foliage plant in this life, but I didn’t expect it to be quite successful.”

“That guy from Damei is unjust. He has been abroad for almost half a year and he doesn’t know how to contact us. He just gave me a pot of broken flowers and said when he left that this was his big treasure and asked me to take good care of it. I will take care of a bird.” Zhou Dalei said again, “When he comes back, I have to beat him up.”
