The Villain's Face Slapping Counterattack Chapter 54

Chapter 54

Face-Slapping the School Heartthrob and Student Council President (9)

Editor: ghost

Lightly parting his red lips, Zhou Xu intentionally lifted his long hair up and asked, “Am I very pretty?”

Yang He nodded.

Zhou Xu walked to Yang He’s side and leaned on him as he asked, “Want to do it?”

Yang He swallowed another mouthful of saliva and nodded.

Zhou Xu hit his head, “I don’t want to. Move aside for a bit, I want to do up the design tonight.”

Yang He looked at the ceiling in disappointment before sitting at the side so that Zhou Xu had more s.p.a.ce. In any case, his work office was really a bit cramped and the two computers were too close together.

Zhou Xu began editing the design’s various detailing and slightly adjusted the general framework. When he was finally satisfied with the design, it was unexpectedly already 4 AM.

“Done?”

“En.”

Zhou Xu only noticed Yang He’s presence after he had answered and asked, “Why didn’t you go back and sleep?”

Yang He’s neat row of teeth were displayed as he smiled handsomely, “I wanted to accompany you.”

Zhou Xu smiled. However, he forgot that he was currently still crossdressing. His eyes formed crescents and his slightly pursed red lips had a kind of delicate temptation.

“Cough, let’s go eat something first. I’m hungry.” Yang He had no choice but to erase his beautiful fantasies with difficulty.

“En.”

Zhou Xu was all right until Yang He mentioned eating and he started to feel hungry as well. After all he had not eaten for six or seven hours.

It was very dark outside, but above the blanket of darkness, s.h.i.+ning stars dotted the nightscape accompanied by a bright moon.

The streetlights were not very bright and the trees along the streets were fresh saplings.

The wind blew and Zhou Xu could not help but s.h.i.+ver a bit.

Zhou Xu hated such a cold spell due to a late spring. “Walk quickly, it’s too cold.”

Yang He took off his maroon scarf and pulled Zhou Xu to his side, circling the scarf around his neck. Yang He said, “You didn’t think to wear a few more layers when you come out for a walk at night?”

Zhou Xu was speechless. He thought to himself, he was wearing women’s clothes–how was he supposed to give off s.e.x appeal when he was wrapped in thick layers? But Zhou Xu knew that Yang He was just concerned and caring for him.

The two quietly walked along the chilly main street. When they saw a noodle restaurant still open, they entered without much thought since it was truly too cold outside.

The heater in the shop worked sufficiently. After a few minutes, Zhou Xu and Yang He warmed up.

“Boss, give us two bowls of beef noodles, double portion of beef.” Yang He spoke to the middle aged man dozing off at the counter.

The man was nodding off when he heard Yang He’s loud voice. He woke with a start and looked around himself before realising that there really were customers ordering.

Yang He repeated himself. The man nodded and replied, “Yes, it will come immediately.”

Eating the simple noodles with a warm and handsome person. The outside was in harsh winter while inside seemed like spring with a sort of ambiguity thick in the air. Zhou Xu suddenly felt that this feeling was quite good. He sighed with emotion but just then, Yang He opened his mouth, “You’re really too good-looking. I really want to…. do it with you.”

Zhou Xu almost spat out his mouthful of noodles, “Say that again.”

Yang He did not dare utter a word and ate his noodles with his head lowered. Only when he finished a big mouthful and raised his head did he realise that Zhou Xu was actually smiling. Zhou Xu was not reproaching him nor angry at him. He said, “Sure, but not now.”

“Then tomorrow?”

Zhou Xu used his chopsticks to knock on Yang He’s head and said, “Wait for the day I bring you home as my boyfriend.”

Yang He immediately cowered, “If your father, mother and grandfather hit me, you must remember to save me.”

Nodding, Zhou Xu replied, “Okay.”

They prepared to leave after the meal. However, before they could get up, the shop owner went to them and asked, “Are you two a couple?”

Yang He looked at Zhou Xu while Zhou Xu smilingly nodded his head at the shop owner and said, “May I ask if you need anything from us?”

The shop owner was stupefied. Since Zhou Xu’s voice obviously sounded like a man’s, he could only inwardly convince himself that there could be girls’ whose voice sounded like that.

“Ah it’s like this: our small shop has a promotion where if a couple posts on Weibo upon their visit, they would receive an immediate ten yuan discount, as well as a pair of matching keychains. Would you like to partic.i.p.ate?”

Zhou Xu looked at Yang He. Yang He said, “We’ll partic.i.p.ate–ten yuan is still money.”

Hence the two took a photo together. However, their faces were somewhat hidden.

When paying the bill, the shop owner really gave them a discount of ten yuan and the couple’s keychain.

However, the two never thought that such a simple matter would be used to the advantage of others and the aftermath was out of their control.

It was already close to 6 AM. Zhou Xu decided to return to his dormitory to rest while Yang He had long moved out of the campus, hence the two parted ways.

Zhou Xu did not expect that the moment he woke up, from X University’s influential figure, he became someone avoided by the university’s faculty staff. He was perceived as a loose h.o.m.os.e.xual that would be friends with benefits with anyone and moreover, he had a “mental illness” – transvestism.

Zhou Xu was taken by surprise by this drastic change. Zhou Xu had not yet reacted nor counterattacked when the school intranet already began festering with various insults and taunts. With the addition of Zhou Xu’s own fan club, it slowly changed to the two sides cursing at each other.

Zhou Xu actually only found out on the second day since he slept for an entire day. When he was in cla.s.s, he picked up a phone call from Lu Zhongban-laos.h.i.+.

Lu Zhongban-laos.h.i.+ was mostly genuinely anxious and worried for Zhou Xu, hence his tone had some impatience, “Zhou Xu?”

“En, it’s me laos.h.i.+. What happened?”

“How are you still so calm and collected? Don’t tell me you don’t know anything, haven’t you gone online?”

“I haven’t, did something happen?”

“Then you should quickly log onto the school intranet. Yang He was already asked to leave by his mentor and there’s a possibility that he may need to withdraw from school because of you.”

When he was talking, Zhou Xu had switched on his computer. Zhou Xu already knew roughly what had happened before Lu Zhongban was done talking.

“En, I understand. Laos.h.i.+, don’t worry, I have an idea.”

“What idea? It can’t be that you and Little Yang are really in a relations.h.i.+p? Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu…?”

“Laos.h.i.+, it’s the truth. I won’t let him face this storm alone.”

“What? Zhou Xu, what do you plan to do?”

“Nothing much, don’t worry. Laos.h.i.+, I’ll hang up first, I still have other matters to settle. Thank you.”

Zhou Xu took a deep breath after hanging up. Great, he thought that he would be able to purely enjoy this world with a loving family, genuine friends and teachers as well as a lover who loved him deeply. He thought that he would not need to fight with any protagonists. Now it seems like his mission would never change.

Zhou Xu had this train of thought because when he had seen the post, he had dug out the IP addresses of those who slandered him and Yang He. What a coincidence: of the two IP addresses, one was precisely his dormitory room and the other was a certain rental apartment.

When this IP address was compared to IP address of the student council president from an official announcement, Zhou Xu could only laugh. It really was coincidental ah.

If the first time was a coincidence, then what about the second? And time after time again?

All the slandering posts came from the same IP address. Zhou Xu needed to think carefully: how should he blacken a certain slanderer’s reputation in the most effective way? However, his priority was currently to see how Yang He was doing.

Zhou Xu took out his phone. He saw the keychain on it: red with a little blue bear attached to it. Yang He’s keychain was blue with a little red bear.

The two had not put much meaning to it. However when Zhou Xu abruptly saw it, although he felt that couples’ items were silly things in the past, he now felt that sometimes they could really bring joy and happiness to a person.

The corner of his mouth raised. One of the posts that a certain person put up was t.i.tled: Shocking scandal! A certain mentor from X University compelled his student to x.x.x, the two made a Weibo post before dawn and their keychains are a couple’s pair? Zhou Xu sneered. Even this could be used to splash dirty water? How embarra.s.sing.

The call went through and the usual bright and clear voice was heard, as if Yang He was wholly unaffected by the fiasco. “h.e.l.lo? Little Xu, I’m soon going to be annoyed to death by my mentor. Come and save me.”

Zhou Xu’s lips curved even more. He spoke, “What did your mentor make you do?”

“I was still sleeping yesterday when my mentor gave me a chain of calls. At 1 PM I went to the office to write a reflection. I was supposed to write, but I slept through the afternoon and my mentor got angry and told me to continue writing today. I really can’t write anything.”

“How many words do you have to write?”

“3000,” Yang He said before his tone suddenly turned earnest, “but I couldn’t write a single word. The intranet said that I forced you, seduced you and told me to let you go, to not lay hands on a student. However I can’t do that. In this life, I absolutely won’t let you go.”

Zhou Xu laughed and replied, “Then don’t write a single word. Wait for me to come save you.”

Zhou Xu smiled. What was there to be afraid of? He will not be threatened by anything, not his degree nor other people’s eyes. He only wanted himself and his family to live comfortably and happily; he did not care much about anything else.

Zhou Xu went to Yang He’s mentor’s office and saw a miserable Yang He splayed on the table. Zhou Xu’s eyes formed crescents as he extended his hand and said, “I’ve come to save you, Princess.”

Yang He was overjoyed and took Zhou Xu’s hand, “Welcome, my hero.”

The two held hands as they proudly walked out of the office. The mentor’s office did not have anyone else in currently and even if there were, they would not have been able to stop them.

The two headed to Yang He’s rented apartment. It was not big and only had a room and a living area, but it was very clean and neat.

Zhou Xu opened the computer. As expected, the picture of the two of them holding hands was uploaded. When he checked the IP address of the poster, it was unexpectedly still his dormitory’s IP address.

Pointing at the string of numbers, Zhou Xu said, “Do you know who this is?”

Yang He took a look before opening his own laptop. His fingers danced nimbly on the keyboard and he quickly found the person. He straight-forwardly hacked into that person’s computer and duplicated their memory drive.

Opening the drive and looking at the photos, Zhou Xu realised that he was correct as expected. It was You Luoqi. However, the nature of his posts was very obvious: Yang He was abusing the unwritten rule and Zhou Xu was the victim while Yang He was the villain.

Zhou Xu thought of You Luoqi from the original world and found that he was actually still the same. Originally, he hurt Zhou Xu for Chang Shaojun. In this world, he was hurting Yang He for Zhou Xu. As expected, a person’s nature was not so easily changed; a despicable person would remain despicable.

If he could fight openly and honestly then admit defeat in the same way, Zhou Xu would have still respected him as a man. However, what was employing despicable means behind someone’s back?

Zhou Xu found out another interesting thing.

Recovering a hidden file and opening it, Zhou Xu found a dozen photos. Anyone could tell that they were rough design drafts for You Luoqi’s entry into the national design compet.i.tion. However, why was the signature on the draft not You Luoqi but You Gan?

There was definitely something fishy.

Afterwards, Yang He hacked into Chang Shaojun’s computer and the two found a picture. In the picture, two women stood behind Chang Shaojun, but if one took a closer look, something was off about one of the tall women.

Zhou Xu smiled. Whether in the original world or now, Chang Shaojun hated transvest.i.tes and he definitely would not change so easily.

This showed that Chang Shaojun made those posts to direct people into opposing transvest.i.tes.

He he, Zhou Xu evilly laughed. Since this was the case, he would not be polite.

Concealing his own address, Zhou Xu sent Chang Shaojun’s pictures to him with an accompanying message: Where did your hate originate from?

After that, Zhou Xu sent an email to You Luoqi and the content was also simple. He compressed the dozen pictures and attached them to the email with a sentence: Do you like the story of the farmer and the snake?
