Everyone Knows I'm a Good Person Chapter 48.2

Chapter 48.2

Editor: SimoB

Zhuo Junli was still the same as ever. After buying breakfast for s.h.i.+ Qing and eating his own portion, he silently left the dormitory with his bag.

As soon as the young master school bully, who was biting into a bun saw him leaving, he opened his mouth and shouted: “You! Wait!”

Lu Tao immediately followed up: “That’s right! Wait!”

The handsome youth stopped and looked back at them.

s.h.i.+ Qing stood up and pushed the rest of his food forward: “Come and hold this for me.”

Lu Tao on the side immediately copied him and pushed his own breakfast forward as well: “Yeah, do it for me too.”

“Hold your own s.h.i.+t!”

Zhuo Junli was about to approach when s.h.i.+ Qing turned to slap Lu Tao upside the head: “Are you a parrot? Why are you always repeating after me?!!”

Lu Tao shrunk back and laughed nervously: “Then I’ll hold my own things.”

So Zhuo Junli carried s.h.i.+ Qing’s breakfast while walking beside him. Lu Tao was delegated to the back, carrying his own breakfast plus s.h.i.+ Qing’s backpack.

The school bully: “You remember what you promised me last night, right? As soon as we get to cla.s.s, give that little blue piglet back to Tong Xinyu. Do you understand!”

Zhuo Junli: “……..”

No matter how many times he heard it, hearing s.h.i.+ Qing speak of the blue piglet in such an envious tone made him want to laugh.

Of course, it would be suicide to laugh out loud.

He only looked down meekly and slowly asked: “If I give it back to her, you won’t bother me anymore, right?”

“Am I a bother to you?!” s.h.i.+ Qing huffed coldly. His index finger stabbed into Zhuo Junli’s shoulder as he spoke. His voice was quite grumpy: “You’re the one that bothers me all the time!”

Zhuo Junli silently endured his not-so-heavy poking.

He only tried to explain again: “I really have no interest in Tong Xinyu.”

Lu Tao, who was listening from behind them, silently shed a tear of sympathy for Zhuo Junli in his heart.

s.h.i.+-ge was a pretty good person overall. His only problem was that he was super unreasonable.

Zhuo Junli avoided them like the plague whenever their paths crossed.

This top student really was pitiful. He really hadn’t done anything to deserve s.h.i.+-ge targeting him.

But s.h.i.+ Qing obviously didn’t think he was being unreasonable. He counted off Zhuo Junli’s transgressions on his fingers: “Tell me. Did you or did you not say 21 sentences to Tong Xinyu yesterday? You said three sentences to Lu Tao and 11 sentences to me after the self study last night. Both of us put together can’t compare to Tong Xinyu. How can you still say you’re not interested in her?!”

Lu Tao, who was right behind them: “…”

Why would Zhuo Junli voluntarily talk to them?

He snuck forward and patted s.h.i.+ Qing on the shoulder: “s.h.i.+-ge, you’re focusing on the wrong thing. You should be comparing how much Tong Xinyu talks to him with how much she talks to us.”

The school bully: “…”

The way he looked at Lu Tao worsened.

Lu Tao: “…”

He cringed: “Nevermind, you’re right!!! How could s.h.i.+-ge ever be wrong! Yes, that’s how it should be compared!”

s.h.i.+ Qing looked away with a pleased expression. He raised his eyebrows at Zhuo Junli: “See? Lu Tao feels the same way. If you don’t want to suffer anymore, you’d better throw your d.a.m.n feelings for Tong Xinyu out the window. If I catch you again-”

Lu Tao interrupted him again: “Then you’re finished! There’s so many girls with a crush on you in our cla.s.s, so why do you have to go after Tong Xinyu? I think our language arts representative seems like a good choice. Why don’t you be with her instead?”

“Tsk.” The school bully stopped and looked at his lackey impatiently: “Will you stop interrupting me while I’m talking?”

Lu Tao: “…I- I’m just laying out his options. Then he won’t get in the way of s.h.i.+-ge chasing after Tong Xinyu anymore. A- and the language arts representative really does like Zhuo Junli…”

“She likes your uncle too!” s.h.i.+ Qing furiously slapped him upside the head again: “What are you trying to do!?”

Lu Tao had no idea how he had offended this young master again. His face was full of grievances: “s.h.i.+-ge, what’s with you today? If Zhuo Junli goes after the representative, no one would be able to steal Tong Xinyu from you.”

“Bulls.h.i.+t!” s.h.i.+ Qing sneered: “All the girls in the cla.s.s belong to Laozi.”

Lu Tao: “???”

Lu Tao: “…”

He looked at his boss whose face was like ‘No one can touch this emperor’s treasures’, as he lifted his chin and threatened Zhuo Junli: “Did you hear that? If you touch any of the other girls in our cla.s.s, you’re dead!”

Zhuo Junli looked completely lost.

Lu Tao felt bad for him with a single glance. He quietly scratched his head: “Um… actually the girls in the other cla.s.ses like Zhuo Junli too…”

“You shut up!!” s.h.i.+ Qing’s embarra.s.sed roar succeeded in reducing Lu Tao to a little quail. He carried the bag and his food obediently and shut his mouth.

Seeing that they were about to enter the school building, s.h.i.+ Qing suddenly stopped walking: “You guys go up first, I need to go buy something.”

Zhuo Junli still had his food in his hands. “Should I put your breakfast on your desk?”

“Put it on your own desk.” The school bully didn’t have a shred of hesitation on his face: “We’re changing seats today. I’m sitting with you from now on.”

Zhuo Junli: “?”

s.h.i.+ Qing scoffed: “Remember your promise from last night. If you haven’t returned it to Tong Xinyu by the time I get back, you’re dead meat!”

The school bully went towards the school store.

Lu Tao was relieved to see him go. He b.u.mped Zhuo Junli on the arm, “s.h.i.+-ge’s probably afraid that you’ll end up sitting beside Tong Xinyu. Don’t worry, s.h.i.+-ge is acting like this because he likes her. If you don’t get in his way, he won’t give you such a hard time.”

Zhuo Junli frowned slightly and s.h.i.+fted imperceptibly to keep Lu Tao from touching him.

Lu Tao didn’t notice either. He kept jabbering on: “You know, I actually don’t have a problem with you. Didn’t I just speak for you earlier? If I didn’t do that, then s.h.i.+-ge would’ve hated you even more. So can you let me copy yesterday’s homework? It’s due during morning self-study. How about this, if you give me a copy of your homework, I’ll put in a good word for you with s.h.i.+-ge from now on. Deal?”

Zhuo Junli asked him: “Does s.h.i.+ Qing hate me a lot?”

“Do you even need to ask? Last night, as soon as he found out that Tong Xinyu was a.s.signed to do ch.o.r.es with you, he was so p.i.s.sed off that he gathered us all to lock you in the washroom. But how did you get out? We even asked around beforehand. w.a.n.g-laos.h.i.+ had something to do today, so the teacher patrolling was a woman. She wouldn’t have gone to the men’s room.

Zhuo Junli squinted slightly: “I can give you copies of the homework, but first tell me when s.h.i.+ Qing fell in love with Tong Xinyu.”

“When…?”

Lu Tao couldn’t remember the details: “Maybe when Tong Xinyu confessed to you? We only found out he liked her when he started targeting you afterwards. Anyways, stay out of s.h.i.+-ge’s way. He’s so vicious that even the teachers can’t handle him.”

Zhuo Junli’s eyebrows lifted a fraction.

Was s.h.i.+ Qing angry at him because Tong Xinyu confessed to him…

…Or was it because he was confessed to by Tong Xinyu?

After Zhuo Junli went upstairs, he immediately found the little blue pig eraser he had barely used and walked over to Tong Xinyu’s desk.

Tong Xinyu was indeed a lovely girl. She was born with delicate features and a straightforward personality.

When she saw the person she liked walk over to her table, she immediately straightened up from her conversation with her deskmate. She tried to make herself as proper as possible while looking at Zhuo Junli expectantly.

Then, under her expectant gaze, Zhuo Junli placed the blue eraser on her desk: “Sorry, I can’t use it anymore. I’ll give it back to you.”

Tong Xinyu’s expression became crestfallen. She picked the eraser up reluctantly: “It’s just an eraser. I just wanted to thank you for explaining some problems for me. And isn’t your old one about to run out? I just happened to pick this one up, so-”

“Aiya.” A drawling voice suddenly came from the back. Tong Xinyu scrunched up her face. She glared daggers at s.h.i.+ Qing who strolled in through the back door.

s.h.i.+ Qing swaggered over to them. He looked at Zhuo Junli, then at Tong Xinyu while tutting: “I mean you could’ve just kept this eraser you found for yourself. Why give it to Zhuo Junli?”

“Why do you care!”

Tong Xinyu knew that s.h.i.+ Qing liked her, but she didn’t like s.h.i.+ Qing. His temper was horrendous and he wasn’t gentle at all. She had even heard rumours that he got into fights outside. He might look handsome, but he was nothing more than a gold-plated brick!

She had made it clear to s.h.i.+ Qing many times that she wouldn’t like him no matter what, but this guy continued to be a cheeky stalker.

Moreover, he also bullied Zhuo Junli.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. Tong Xinyu’s tone became irritated: “So what if I picked up an eraser and gave it to Zhuo Junli! I didn’t need it and he was running out! Do you have a problem with that?!”

“Nope.”

s.h.i.+ Qing put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows with a roguish look, “You said you picked it up, but who knows? Maybe you bought it instead.”

“You!”

Tong Xinyu looked around and saw that the students nearby were all looking over curiously at their argument. Her face was red from anger and embarra.s.sment.

Although she didn’t hide the fact that she liked Zhuo Junli, she was a girl who bought an eraser and deliberately pretended that she just picked it up to give it to the person she liked. How could she be willing to have her emotions exposed?

Tong Xinyu was nothing more than an ordinary girl living in an ivory tower who didn’t know how to argue, so she could only bite the bullet and continue this charade: “I really picked it up! Off the ground! Is that illegal or something?!”

“Nope.”

The good-looking school bully slowly pulled his hands out of his pockets. He was holding a brand new blue piglet eraser in his palm.

“Ai~ya~”

He exclaimed flatly as he turned his palm over. The blue piglet fell on the ground.

s.h.i.+ Qing looked down with an exaggerated expression of surprise. He crouched down and picked up the little blue pig.

“Why is there an eraser here!? Who in the world dropped it?”

Tong Xinyu: “…”

She watched as s.h.i.+ Qing squeezed the little blue piglet in one hand while brazenly grabbing her male G.o.d’s hand with the other.

Then he put the little blue piglet in the youth’s hand.

The school bully had a bold grin on his face. His tone implied he was being extraordinarily generous: “Aren’t you running out of erasers Zhuo Junli? I just happened to pick one up for you~”
