Everyone Knows I'm a Good Person Chapter 49.1

Chapter 49.1

Editor: yummers

Zhuo Junli who was holding the blue piglet in his hand, “…”

Tong Xinyu, “…”

The students around them, “…”

They had never seen such a shameless person before.

Tong Xinyu was furious. She slammed her hands down on the desk. “You’re such a bully!”

s.h.i.+ Qing, “So what if I’m a bully?! What are you going to do about it?!”

“Grr!”

Tong Xinyu really felt like she was going to explode. Many of her cla.s.smates had pursued her ever since she was a child because of her good looks.

But this was the first time she had ever encountered someone who pursued her in such a cheeky way.

She took a deep breath and took out her red eraser. “Whatever. Anyways, my eraser and Zhuo Junli’s eraser are a pair.”

“Tsk tsk tsk.”

s.h.i.+ Qing raised his eyebrows and slowly took his other hand out of his pocket.

In his palm, there was a little blue piggy.

He brazenly placed his little piggy together with Zhuo Junli’s.

Their mouths were facing each other.

Then, he smugly smirked at Tong Xinyu who was already about to explode.

“We’re the real pair.”

Tong Xinyu was speechless.

Ahhhhhh! She felt like she was going to combust any second!

How could there be such a shameless person in the world, ah!

“By the way, you know that we’re changing seats today, right?”

s.h.i.+ Qing pretended he didn’t see Tong Xinyu’s ugly expression as he idly rested his hand on Zhuo Junli’s shoulder—as if they were good friends.

“I told the teacher to place me next to Zhuo Junli. I’ll know if you pick up anything else to give to him in the future.”

“I’ll know if you ask him for help with questions too.”

The school bully added matter-of-factly, “But he’s my deskmate first, so I should get priority. You’re okay with that, right?”

Tong Xinyu, “……”

Her eyes were red with anger. She got up furiously and pointed a trembling finger at s.h.i.+ Qing for a while before she spat out a sentence.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Leaving that behind, she turned around, and ran out of the cla.s.sroom.

“Ah! Xinyu!”

Tong Xinyu’s deskmate was a chubby and cute girl. When she saw that her friend had ran off, she got up and chased after her.

s.h.i.+ Qing had a nonchalant look on his face. He waved his hand at the girl. “There’s no need to chase after her. Cla.s.s is starting soon. A good student like Tong Xinyu definitely wouldn’t skip.”

Then he glanced down at his watch and tutted, “She’ll be back in five minutes.”

Zhuo Junli’s gaze towards s.h.i.+ Qing was somewhat complicated.

Lu Tao’s face was also full of misery.

He finally couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped forward to whisper something into s.h.i.+ Qing’s ear. “s.h.i.+-ge, I don’t think this is how you should pursue your crush.”

“Is there a problem?”

The school bully br.i.m.m.i.n.g with confidence raised an eyebrow. “Isn’t this situation fantastic? With Zhuo Junli and I sitting together, Tong Xinyu definitely wouldn’t come looking for him.”

Lu Tao, “……..”

That’s right. Tong Xinyu cared about her reputation, so she definitely wouldn’t approach Zhuo Junli.

But she wouldn’t approach s.h.i.+ Qing either, ah!

If you like the girl, you need to woo her! What’s with this elementary school att.i.tude?! Of course Tong Xinyu would dislike s.h.i.+ Qing!

Yet their usually quick-witted s.h.i.+-ge didn’t seem to feel that anything was wrong. He kept his hand around Zhuo Junli’s shoulders—as if he was a trophy—and sat down looking very pleased with himself.

When it was time to change seats, s.h.i.+ Qing really did end up next to Zhuo Junli.

And for the next few days, he really did fulfill his promises.

He dutifully acted as a third wheel between Tong Xinyu and Zhuo Junli.

When Tong Xinyu finally gathered enough courage to ask Zhuo Junli about a problem, before she could even say his name, s.h.i.+ Qing had already slapped his workbook in front of Zhuo Junli.

The school bully raised his eyebrows proudly at Tong Xinyu. Then, with an “I’m a good student who loves learning” look, he asked a question seriously.

“Zhuo Junli, how do I solve this problem?”

After he finished asking about one question, he asked another, and another, and another.

If Tong Xinyu called him out, s.h.i.+ Qing would retort back self-righteously, “What? Who says you can only ask one math question? There’s a lot of questions I have trouble with, okay?”

Then, Tong Xinyu would run away out of frustration.

But this stubborn girl never gave up. The more s.h.i.+ Qing prevented her from getting close to Zhuo Junli, the more she tried to find an opportunity to do so.

If she couldn’t talk to him during break time, fine. There were plenty of other chances to strike, such as before morning self-study, during lunchtime, during gym cla.s.s, and during evening self-study. One of them was bound to work.

However, she was dealing with someone out of her league.

s.h.i.+ Qing really kept Zhuo Junli away from her for the whole day.

They shared a dormitory. Usually after school, s.h.i.+ Qing would drag Zhuo Junli back to the dormitory. Being a girl, Tong Xinyu couldn’t exactly follow them back to the boys dormitory.

There was no need to even mention break time. s.h.i.+ Qing would just chat with Zhuo Junli without giving Tong Xinyu a single opportunity to interject.

The whole cla.s.s knew that s.h.i.+ Qing had a crush on Tong Xinyu.

If he couldn’t be with her, then he would make sure that she couldn’t be with Zhuo Junli either.

He even kept a close eye on Zhuo Junli during mealtimes. Tong Xinyu wasn’t able to touch a single hair on her male G.o.d’s head.

The little lackeys led by Lu Tao asked, “s.h.i.+-ge are you okay? Can’t you see that Tong Xinyu’s opinion of you is dropping by the second?” They had to give s.h.i.+ Qing props. This move of his was super effective.

Before, when he bullied Zhuo Junli, Tong Xinyu would only feel pity and tell the teacher, who would scold them.

Now, s.h.i.+-ge was doing nothing but sticking to Zhuo Junli.

Zhuo Junli could do whatever he wanted!

But only if he was by s.h.i.+ Qing’s side.

They even went to the washroom together.

It could be said that he had absolutely checkmated his love rival. Tong Xinyu was completely cut off from Zhuo Junli.

Ah! How effective!

Too effective even!

Now the teacher had no reason to get involved, so Tong Xinyu couldn’t use external intervention anymore.

s.h.i.+ Qing, who was praised by his lackeys to the nines, was living quite a luxurious life recently.

As a super rich second generation, the reason why he lived in the school dorms was simple: his parents were busy with work and didn’t have time to take care of him.

He was the kind of spoiled playboy who would often party all night at home.

That’s why he lived on campus.

Despite that, he could still have whatever he wanted as long as it wasn’t too outrageous.

For example, he could openly bring electronics to his dorm unlike other students since the teachers didn’t inspect his dorm.

Likewise, because teachers didn’t check in, s.h.i.+ Qing could do whatever he wanted.

Recently, he even had a bathtub installed in his washroom during cla.s.s time under the excuse that he needed to unwind from studying.

But everyone knew that s.h.i.+ Qing was the last person that needed to be stressed about grades. He slacked off all day, constantly having fun, eating, and playing with this and that.

Zhuo Junli should be the most stressed out.

He was only in his second year of high school, but he’s already studying like his life depended on it.

If it wasn’t for the fact that s.h.i.+ Qing insisted only sleeping together with him everyday, he would’ve really gone to bed at 2:00 and got up at 5:30 like an immortal cultivator.

The one who enjoyed this bathtub the most was Zhuo Junli.

Due to whatever he was thinking about in there, the animosity value had been reduced to 88.

After nearly two weeks of this, Zhuo Junli had gotten used to dealing with the school bully who pulled on his body every night like an octopus.

Before s.h.i.+ Qing started facing off against Tong Xinyu, his catchphrase was: “Even if I get a 0 on the exam, I’ll definitely live a better life than anyone else”.

It’s changed now.

During gym cla.s.s today, just as Tong Xinyu wanted to approach Zhuo Junli while s.h.i.+ Qing was going to buy c.o.ke, this guy came back again. His hand landed on Zhuo Junli’s shoulder and pulled him closer to his side.

He raised his chin and picked his eyebrows like he usually did. “Zhuo Junli, come with me to buy some c.o.ke.”

That’s right, his new catchphrase was: “Zhuo Junli, come with me to x.x.x.”

Zhuo Junli, who was the other person involved, would actually follow s.h.i.+ Qing obediently. He completely disregarded Tong Xinyu, who seemed incensed enough to commit murder with her bare hands.

Of course, no one blamed him for being too cold when they discussed this.

After all, s.h.i.+ Qing’s overbearing nature was well-known. Even the teachers couldn’t deal with him.

Now that Zhuo Junli was his deskmate as well as his roommate, there was nowhere for him to hide if he p.i.s.sed off s.h.i.+ Qing.

Zhuo Junli didn’t feel too bad for himself to be honest.

He followed s.h.i.+ Qing into the supermarket. As usual, s.h.i.+ Qing bought two bottles of c.o.ke, one for himself, and one for Zhuo Junli.

No one felt there was anything wrong with that. He did tell Zhuo Junli to follow him after all. s.h.i.+-ge had always been generous. Giving an extra bottle to Zhuo Junli was nothing to him.

The second year of high school actually had very few physical education cla.s.ses. It’s just that their school was somewhat different from others. Here, it was important that students had both good grades and good health.

Other schools’ physical education cla.s.s involved jogging, chatting with your friends, and free activities.

Their school did military boxing.

The princ.i.p.al had a good reason for this. By learning military boxing now, the students could defend themselves. It would also help prepare them for the military training exercises in university.

In the middle of winter, a group of students wearing sweaters and down jackets followed the movements of their teacher. They were all sweating profusely from exertion.

Especially Zhuo Junli, who has always been in poor health.

When he was young, his own father didn’t care about him. If it weren’t for the neighbors who took pity on him and let him come over to eat from time to time, he would’ve starved to death.

Things didn’t get much better as he grew up. He had to study while working part-time. When he couldn’t avoid going home, he had to endure his father’s physical abuse. Zhuo Junli wasn’t sickly, but his condition was often worse than his peers.

He mimicked the movements very seriously, but his body physically couldn’t keep up. It was already crying out in thirst when s.h.i.+ Qing dragged him to the store and handed him a bottle of c.o.ke.

Zhuo Junli took it and said thank you before immediately uns.c.r.e.w.i.n.g the cap and taking a drink.

s.h.i.+ Qing’s motley crew had always thought that this was quite strange. Although he was good-natured, Zhuo Junli was also, in a way, prideful. If people tried to give him things, he would reject them 99 out of 100 times.

That 50 cent eraser was no exception. He only accepted it after Tong Xinyu said that she picked it up and then forcefully stuffed it in his desk.

But it was different with s.h.i.+ Qing. The school bully was adamant to separate his ‘love rival’ from Tong Xinyu, so he dragged Zhuo Junli everywhere with him, whether it was eating or buying things. Sometimes he bought a share for Zhuo Junli as well.

The person who always politely refused others generously accepted everything s.h.i.+ Qing offered him.

After putting their heads together, everyone came to the conclusion that Zhuo Junli was afraid of angering s.h.i.+ Qing by refusing.

He was the school bully! That t.i.tle wasn’t just for show.

Physical education was the last cla.s.s for the day. After school, the girl named Tong Xinyu came over again.

Then, she saw s.h.i.+ Qing’s arm overbearingly thrown across Zhuo Junli’s shoulders again as he swaggered his way to the cafeteria.

Today was Friday, so after lunch the students could head home for the weekend.

The girl named Tong Xinyu had a stubborn streak. The more s.h.i.+ Qing stopped her, the more she wanted to approach her male G.o.d.

Right now, she’s already caught up to the both of them without changing her expression. She ignored that s.h.i.+ Qing was only talking to Zhuo Junli.

Despite her boldness, Tong Xinyu was still shy. She blushed a bit. “Zhuo Junli, I remember that my house was in the same direction as yours. Why don’t we go together?”

She liked Zhuo Junli so of course she had paid attention to him. She had a rough idea of the route to his house.

s.h.i.+ Qing’s hand was still on Zhuo Junli’s shoulder. Zhou Junli could clearly feel its grip tighten like a vice after Tong Xinyu’s words.

Actually s.h.i.+ Qing didn’t need to worry. Even if it was the weekend he wouldn’t be going back.

Why wouldn’t he stay at school when all that was waiting for him at home was a beating?

The youth’s face remained unchanged. His handsome countenance was as gentle as ever as he spoke.

“Not today. I have to get next week’s papers for the teacher later, so I can’t join you.”

Tong Xinyu continued to ask unrelentingly.

“Why don’t I come with you? I don’t happen to have anything to do today.”

“I don’t have anything going on today either.”

s.h.i.+ Qing stepped in with his usual cheeky smirk, “Why don’t the three of us go together?”

Tong Xinyu had been holding it in for almost two weeks. She finally exploded after being blocked again.

“Why are you so annoying?! I’ve told you before that I don’t like you! I won’t ever like you, and there’s nothing you can do to change that!!”

Zhuo Junli almost instantaneously s.h.i.+fted his gaze to s.h.i.+ Qing.

At their age, it would be hard for anyone to be admonished by their crush like this in public.

The school bully, however, was still gleeful. There was no hint of sadness on his face from being rejected by his crush.

“That’s fine by me. You do you. I’m still not going to let you get all buddy buddy with Zhuo Junli. How about I take you home instead? It’s not a bad deal for you.”

“No! Way! In! h.e.l.l!”

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!!!”

Tong Xinyu stormed off once again.

s.h.i.+ Qing leaned even more towards Zhuo Junli’s side, looking as if he had won a trophy.

The youth beside him had deep, dark eyes hidden underneath his long eyelashes.
