The Black-Hearted Beauty Is Spied On By Crazy Critics Again [Quickly Pass] Chapter 10

Chapter 10 The Omega of the Aristocratic School 10 “I didn’t mean to…”

Ji Chengyu shifted his gaze, suppressing the emotions in his heart, and said indifferently, “I want you to seduce Lu Chi, and after you get together, dump him ruthlessly.”

Lu Qingyun was puzzled for a moment, raising his eyes slightly. Ji Chengyu’s words continued, “After it’s done, I can give you five million.”

The confusion in Lu Qingyun’s eyes instantly turned into determination. He even felt that Ji Chengyu had suddenly become imposing. He agreed without a second thought.

Ji Chengyu was surprised by the change in the person before him. He had never seen anyone change their expression so quickly. However, he suddenly recalled the posts about Omegas on the forum and looked at the person’s thin frame, instantly understanding. He was probably terrified of poverty.

“You’re not going to ask me why?”

Lu Qingyun shook his head. As long as there was money, he didn’t need a reason. Besides, once he got the money and finished the mission, he would leave this world directly. Perhaps he wouldn’t even need to put much effort into the seduction; he just needed to be slightly perfunctory when Ji Chengyu checked up on him.

He pondered for a moment and slowly spoke, “Um, excuse me, can I collect a deposit, or could you give me an IOU?” His face was serious, and he continued to add, “The amount is quite large, so I’m not very comfortable.”

He finished speaking in one breath, looking at Ji Chengyu with expectation. Perhaps because it was too hot, his cheeks were flushed, and his light blue eyes stared intently at the man, making it impossible to refuse.

Seeing him like this, Ji Chengyu’s gaze softened, and his voice became gentler. “I can give it to you now, but you need to add me as a friend.”

Lu Qingyun heard the satisfactory answer and was about to nod when he remembered something. He scratched his head, pretending to be embarrassed. “My phone broke yesterday.”

Ji Chengyu blurted out without thinking, “I’ll buy you one.”

By the time Ji Chengyu reacted, he had already bought the phone for him and transferred the money, leaving only an account with a greeting message.

Ji Chengyu looked at the interface and pondered for a while, as if just coming back to his senses. He suddenly felt very foolish. His actions were completely unlike his usual self. He had given all the money away without receiving anything in return, and he had thoughtfully picked out a new model of phone for the person.

He had also agreed to Lu Qingyun’s request to mess with Lu Chi a little right now. Although he was happy to mess with Lu Chi, there was always a strange feeling.

The next day, Ji Chengyu finally realized what was wrong. Lu Qingyun hadn’t done a single thing yet, and he was already giving him orders? Who was the employer here?

Lu Qingyun felt extremely comfortable after receiving the money yesterday and slept soundly.

When he woke up in the morning, holding the new phone felt a bit unfamiliar. He stared at the smartphone, his mind momentarily blank. The black screen reflected his face. Lu Qingyun reached out and patted it, forcing himself to wake up. He needed to start doing serious work.

Lu Qingyun’s personality was such that as long as there was an unfinished task, he couldn’t relax, and his mind would constantly dwell on it. Therefore, he couldn’t completely relax unless he returned to the real world.

He knew that if he stayed in this world with the money, it would probably be quite enjoyable, but thinking about the uncertain factors, he preferred to go through a few more worlds and then return to his stable life. He disliked any instability.

He had thought a lot these past few days and felt that the main storyline deviated from what the System had told him. Furthermore, following the original main storyline would be incredibly slow. He needed to speed things up and proactively provoke those people.

Lu Qingyun opened the forum. Although he couldn’t search for their names, he could still see some posts with abbreviations, and some even had pictures.

Lu Qingyun calculated that he should have met three of them by now. He wondered who the other one was.

Lu Qingyun searched a few abbreviations, and it was similar to what he had imagined. He scrolled as usual, and his eyes suddenly widened.

One post organized information on the four people, even attaching pictures of each. The replies below were mostly warnings for the poster to be careful.

Lu Qingyun first took a long screenshot, intending to save it to look at later.

He opened the album and scrolled through them one by one. The first photo was that annoying face—Lu Chi.

Lu Qingyun silently summarized and commented in his mind: Lu Chi, a volatile and annoying person.

His finger scrolled down the phone screen. Below was a face he had only seen once. Lu Qingyun pulled out his phone’s memo app, typed in the information, and added the previous one as well.

Scrolling further down was the person he had just met, Ji Chengyu. Every time Lu Qingyun looked at a post, he would exit and jot down the key points in his memo.

The last one was a completely unfamiliar face. The man had a stern expression, looking very much like he had spotted a candid photographer, as if he was about to erupt the next second.

Lu Qingyun frowned, a little afraid that this person would be difficult to deal with.

He pulled out his memo and stared down at the words he had typed.

For the last one, Gu Hanshi, he put a question mark. He needed to hurry up and meet this person in the next few days.

Besides his part-time job at the Coffee Shop, he had been wandering around campus these days. Occasionally, Shen Zhifan would come looking for him and invite him to his house for a meal.

All the remaining time was spent trying to catch Gu Hanshi. Finally, today he caught an opportunity.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, Lu Qingyun looked at the man in a black shirt and trousers walking towards him, with only one thought in his mind.

Is he really not hot? Lu Qingyun lowered his head. He was wearing shorts, and even so, he felt very hot. Unfortunately, humans had to wear clothes and couldn’t go around naked.

Sometimes he really wanted to transform into his True Form and live freely.

Seeing the man getting closer, Lu Qingyun snapped back to attention and hurried forward.

He was holding a cup of milk tea, an old prop he had been carrying for several days. Since deciding to catch Gu Hanshi, he had bought the milk tea in advance and kept it sealed in his hand.

His steps quickened, and he walked straight into the shadow in front of him.

“Ugh…”

The milk tea in his hand was knocked away, and most of it spilled onto Gu Hanshi’s shirt. The damp patch made the fabric cling to his body. Lu Qingyun let go and staggered backward. He was preparing to perform the fake fall that Ji Chengyu had demonstrated last time.

He had only retreated half a step, and his knees were already halfway bent, when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by a large hand. The large hand tightened, forcibly pulling him up.

Lu Qingyun was startled by the man’s strength. His entire arm was immobile.

Gu Hanshi steadied him, then withdrew his hand. His shirt was soaking wet and clinging to his body, but he didn’t even frown.

Gu Hanshi lowered his head, quietly waiting for Lu Qingyun’s next words.

The outcome was not what he had expected. Lu Qingyun paused, adjusted his expression, and spoke with deep apology, “I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Gu Hanshi didn’t speak, but his gaze never left him, nor did he show any intention of leaving.

Lu Qingyun pulled a tissue from his pocket, reached out, and pressed it against the man’s shirt, preparing to help him wipe it. Just as he touched it, he heard a voice from above.

Gu Hanshi took a deep breath, gripped his wrist, and strange emotions surged in his eyes. “Don’t touch me randomly.”

Lu Qingyun tried to pull his hand back but couldn’t. His train of thought was interrupted, and he accidentally let out a sound of confusion.

Gu Hanshi didn’t let go. He lowered his head, scrutinizing Lu Qingyun’s expression, thinking that he hadn’t faked crying today. He recalled the last time this Omega tried to frame Xie Jin; he had watched the entire process from the passenger seat, from the boy’s frantic steps forward to his stubborn retreating back. Even the tears on his face were shed perfectly. The Omega in front of him used tears as a weapon and was skilled at manipulating people. He paused and then released his hand.

He took out his phone, opened his friend QR code, and held it out.

The development of the situation was far too different from what he had imagined. Lu Qingyun was rarely stunned, his mind failing to process the situation.

Gu Hanshi had seen his composed demeanor last time. Seeing him like this for the first time, a breath of air escaped his lips, a half-smile. He reminded him, “Add me as a friend. I’ll transfer you…” He shifted his gaze and added, “Transfer you the milk tea money.”

The development was too smooth. Lu Qingyun was speechless. He lightly said, “Oh,” and then took out his phone to scan the code.

Gu Hanshi’s attention shifted to his phone and he suddenly asked, “Who bought the phone?”

Lu Qingyun lowered his gaze and didn’t reply. Just as the friend request was accepted, he spoke, changing the subject, “I’ve added you.”

Gu Hanshi looked disappointed for a moment. He glanced at the notification that popped up on his phone screen after the friend request was accepted, scanning the person’s nickname and profile picture, and nodded slightly.

He opened the transfer function and sent a sum of money over. Then he started to leave. Before walking away, he seemed to remember something, stopped, and slowly said, “Don’t come out… like this next time. It’s very dangerous.”

He thought that if he encountered someone who wasn’t susceptible to this tactic, given the Omega’s identity, it would be genuinely dangerous.

Gu Hanshi left, leaving Lu Qingyun standing alone. He thought for a while but couldn’t quite figure out the man. Gu Hanshi was simply too strange, incomprehensible.

He hadn’t even started his performance, and it was already over. So, did this count as having met this person?

Feeling hungry, Lu Qingyun walked toward the cafeteria while pulling out his phone. The screen was still on their chat interface, but the difference was that a red transfer notification had appeared on the screen.

Before Lu Qingyun’s mind could fully process it, his hand had already tapped on it. The number this time was small, and he could see it without counting: twenty thousand.

Lu Qingyun chose a noodle stall, bought a bowl of noodles, and found a random table to start eating.

While eating, he kept feeling a sharp pain in his mouth. Lu Qingyun took out his phone to look. He slightly stuck out his tongue and indeed saw a canker sore on his tongue. No wonder it hurt so much.

He used to get inflamed easily, usually inside his mouth, but this time it was on his tongue.

Lu Qingyun slumped, feeling instantly miserable. He endured the pain and ate for a while longer, then prepared to stand up and leave. He just turned his head and met a pair of slightly aggressive eyes.

Xie Jin was standing right behind him. Lu Qingyun hadn’t even realized when he had arrived.

Xie Jin scoffed, looking like he had finally been discovered, and immediately questioned, “Did you go try to frame Gu Hanshi?”

For some reason, the tone sounded like someone who had been cheated on and came to catch the affair, but Lu Qingyun had no relationship with the person in front of him, so to the Omega, this person was completely inexplicable.

Fortunately, Xie Jin also realized the awkwardness. His expression was unnatural for a moment, but he was still insistent on getting a clear answer.

He had rushed over after seeing a message in a group chat. Many people in the group were sharing photos of the two of them interacting and discussing the matter.

He had accidentally joined this group once. When he joined, they were posting photos of Lu Qingyun. Xie Jin frowned, intending to leave, but a friend messaged him at that moment, so he didn’t.

Later, he only checked the group very occasionally. Today, he happened to see Lu Qingyun and Gu Hanshi standing at the cafeteria entrance, their hands seemingly clasped together.

Based on his previous understanding of this little liar, he had only one thought when he saw the two of them together: Lu Qingyun was trying to frame Gu Hanshi.

His family and the Gu family were long-time business partners, so the two of them often interacted. Although he didn’t like Gu Hanshi’s personality, he knew him somewhat. Gu Hanshi usually looked indifferent to everything and probably wouldn’t get involved with Lu Qingyun.

Xie Jin raised his head and repeated his question, implying that he wouldn’t let the person leave unless he explained.

Lu Qingyun’s tongue still hurt from eating, and his speech was slightly slurred when he spoke. “No, I just accidentally bumped into him.”

“Oh, you don’t have eyes? You accidentally?” He finished speaking, then replayed Lu Qingyun’s words in his mind. Realizing something, he bent down and pinched Lu Qingyun’s chin with one hand.

The Omega tried to pull away, but Xie Jin tightened his grip. He impatiently clicked his tongue. “Don’t move, let me see.”

He bent down, forcing the person to open his mouth, and peered inside. Only then did he see the canker sore on the side of his tongue. He released his hand, his tone still slightly sarcastic.

“What, did you bite it while trying to frame someone?”

Lu Qingyun was completely speechless. Who could poison this person into silence?

[Villain Points +3. Host, please note that 100 Villain Points must be accumulated for the second mission to be considered successful. Current progress is 15/100.]

Hearing the System’s prompt, Lu Qingyun felt his mind short-circuit for a moment. So, thinking this in his heart could actually add Villain Points.

Lu Qingyun lifted his foot, preparing to leave, unwilling to explain anything more to this person. His arm was suddenly grabbed tightly by Xie Jin, who dragged him outside.

“What are you doing?”

Xie Jin turned his head and retorted, “What do you think?”

He dragged the person toward the Infirmary, his mouth not stopping.

“Don’t try to frame Gu Hanshi next time, understand? He’s rigid and no fun. If he gets angry, just crying won’t make him forgive you. Only I have a better temper.”

“Did you hear me?”

He nagged the whole way, automatically assuming Lu Qingyun had listened. When they walked into the Infirmary, he finally realized that this was the second time he had brought this person here.

The female doctor, seeing the two of them arrive together again, silently assumed their relationship and looked at them with a half-smile.

Xie Jin glanced at Lu Qingyun and remembered how quickly the person had rejected him last time, feeling a surge of annoyance.

The female doctor examined Lu Qingyun’s mouth and gave him a powder for topical application.

“Apply it when you remember. It should be better in about two days.”

Lu Qingyun took the powder and nodded obediently. He glanced out of the corner of his eye at Xie Jin, who consciously stood up and went to pay the bill.

The two walked out of the Infirmary, silent for a while, walking side by side. The atmosphere suddenly became strange.

The quieter they were, the less they spoke, the faster Xie Jin’s heart seemed to beat. He rubbed his head, feeling agitated.

He thought for a long time and finally came up with a topic, asking, “Want to go get milk tea?”

He remembered seeing photos others took in the group chat. Lu Qingyun was always holding a cup of milk tea, which looked like the same one every time. He wondered if he hadn’t brought himself to drink it.

He thought about the boy’s situation and suddenly felt that since he had money, why couldn’t he help him out?

Lu Qingyun pondered for a moment. Before he could decide, Xie Jin had already assumed he was afraid of spending money. He pulled him along, saying generously, “Let’s go, my treat.”

There were quite a few people at the school gate, some groups entering and exiting, and some couples. Seeing Xie Jin pulling Lu Qingyun out, everyone looked over curiously.

Lu Qingyun moved and pulled his hand free. Xie Jin felt the softness slip out of his grasp and subconsciously wanted to reach out again.

He was confused for a moment and huffed in dissatisfaction. This Omega was so ungrateful. Why was he always so disgusted with him? He had never been treated this way.

Xie Jin insisted, “I didn’t mean to hold your hand.”

Lu Qingyun, who was about to lower his hand, raised it slightly. Hearing this, a flicker of interest crossed his eyes. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a tissue, wiped away non-existent sweat, and turned to look at Xie Jin.

“It’s too hot. I’m wiping my sweat. Aren’t you going to hold it anymore?”

Lu Qingyun held out his hand, looking innocent. When he said, “Aren’t you going to hold it anymore,” he pouted slightly, and his eyes blinked unconsciously, looking wronged.

Xie Jin’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He cursed inwardly…

Who taught this person? Does he know how alluring he is? Xie Jin twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking he admitted defeat. He did want to hold Lu Qingyun’s hand, and he wasn’t afraid to admit it.

He tugged at his mouth, reached out his hand, and spat out one word with a straight face, “Hold.”
