Honest Wage Slave What-If (02)

Xue Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know why he was given the task of constantly taking photos.

And it has to be done from strange angles.

The vest she was wearing was too big; after Xue Ci accidentally sent one that was too revealing.

His chest was flat; thankfully, he withdrew in time, Bai Wu didn't see it.

"So tired..."

Hearing the progress bar rapidly advance by one level, Xue Ci finally lay down under the thin air-conditioning quilt. He had just finished showering and was feeling lazy from the hot water, so he didn't even bother to cover himself with the quilt. Instead, he wrapped himself in the quilt and rolled around on the bed a few times.

Her stomach was covered up completely, but her two slender, white legs were exposed.

Her toes were rounded, and even her toenails were pink.

It exudes a natural fragrance from the inside out, like a fresh peach; one bite and the juice bursts out.

Xue Ci couldn't open her eyes once she lay down.

I haven't had a proper rest since I came into this world.

The character he plays this time is a corporate slave who grew up in an orphanage and was fortunate enough to receive charity and get into his ideal university.

There are always some prominent figures in universities, and Bai Wu is the most famous one. He fell in love with this senior at first sight during a basketball game.

But he was an orphan with nothing; studying and part-time jobs filled his entire life, leaving him only to secretly harbor his love.

Four years of university passed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't date anyone. Fortunately, Bai Wu also didn't date anyone.

He had actually been secretly keeping an eye on the other man all along. Knowing that the man was feeling down after retiring, he became anxious and asked a classmate for Bai Wu's WeChat. He wanted to comfort Bai Wu, but he knew that Bai Wu was straight and would only feel repulsed by being comforted by a man, so he pretended to be a girl and added him.

After a while, with his encouragement, Bai Wu developed feelings for him and asked him to meet. After declining several times, he finally mustered up the courage to meet him after Bai Wu said, "I'm going to see you as a person, not just your face."

The result was predictable.

The straight man couldn't accept it, and the two never contacted each other again.

He was already starved for love, and after this major blow, he desperately wanted love like a headless fly, but the result was the opposite of what he hoped for.

The boyfriends I've had have all been unreliable.

Having been swindled out of everything, and experiencing misunderstandings at work due to her low spirits, she resigned and left the city to teach at a rural welfare home.

This is a male-centric career-focused novel with no romantic pairing. The protagonist is Bai Wu, and the other character is just a background character who creates obstacles for Bai Wu.

Overall, Xue Ci's current task is relatively simple: chatting with Bai Wu on WeChat and sending photos will increase the progress bar.

What's particularly frustrating is when a failed attempt to meet someone in real life fails.

How can someone have so many boyfriends in a continuous, seamless way...?

Listening to the host's grumbling complaints, 11 thought to himself, "This is too easy."

There's no need to actively seek them out; they'll come to you without you even having to beg them.

Xue Ci's progress bar is rising very quickly.

He thought Bai Wu was aloof and cold, but he didn't expect him to be so easily fooled.

--The other person frequently transfers money to him and buys him expensive gifts; he hasn't yet discovered that the other person is a boy.

The more effort you put in, the angrier you'll get when you find out he's a guy on the day you meet him in person.

This helps with the plot development, and Xue Ci accepts all the transfers without hesitation.

Bai Wu no longer needed to worry about that; he started looking for a future boyfriend.

He now lives in a shared apartment with five or six people on each floor, most of whom are working professionals who often work overtime until late at night. When they come home, they just wash up and rest, barely having time to talk. At work, everyone sits at their own desk. Most of his colleagues in the department have families, making it difficult to find a partner nearby.

Just as Xue Ci was frowning in worry, a tenant appeared.

The boy's name is Chu Juesheng. He looks very young and moved in last month. Sometimes he carries a bass guitar with him when he goes out, and he dresses very fashionably.

The two had opposite schedules, and Xue Ci usually preferred to stay in her bedroom, so they almost never met.

The meeting was purely coincidental.

That evening, Xue Ci showering, he left his clothes in the bathroom. Chu Juesheng happened to be there when he went to get them.

The boy was tall with long legs and an arrogant face; he looked like the cool guy type who was popular at school.

11 immediately alerted: [Host! He looks exactly like a scumbag! He fits the bill perfectly.]

Perhaps it's the shape of his eyes, Chu Juesheng definitely has the face of a scumbag.

The other person was the only alternative Xue Ci could contact, but Xue Ci didn't know how to get close to them, especially since his energy was being taken up by work.

Fortunately, after that day, he often saw Chu Juesheng in the apartment. The other man's personality was much gentler than he had imagined, and sometimes he would even sign for his packages.

After getting to know each other better, Xue Ci wanted to put him on her shortlist of potential boyfriends, but when she asked, she found out he was only eighteen years old.

Xue Ci was no stranger to the passion and clinginess of younger men, and at eighteen, she should focus on her studies and not let romance distract her.

Xue Ci transforms into a strict little teacher, treating the other person like a younger brother.

Unbeknownst to him, Chu Juesheng's heart began to race the moment he first saw him.

The virgin had never seen the world. He had only exchanged a few words with someone during the day, and by nightfall, he would get an erection just thinking about it, and even go to the bathroom... During that time, he would think of Song Xueci wearing a white shirt, her hands tied to the headboard with a tie, pitifully crying, or being forced to endure being done to a bad person under the table.

In short, Chu Juesheng had been clueless about this matter for eighteen years, but when he went out to rent a room, he unexpectedly met his mentor.

You can't blame him. Song Xueci has a rather austere appearance, and sometimes her expression is blank. It's as if she can just endure whatever she's treated or whatever unreasonable demands are made of her.

Also, he felt that Song Xueci seemed to have a boyfriend.

He wasn't intentionally glancing at other people's phones; it's just that Song Xueci's boyfriend seemed to have nothing better to do all day, sending dozens of messages a minute and being incredibly clingy.

Moreover, he felt that Song Xueci's boyfriend was most likely a pervert.

He had seen Song Xueci secretly hanging her little skirt and white stockings on the balcony at night.

It must have been her boyfriend who made the request.

nausea.

Chu Juesheng felt that Song Xueci, being such a good person, should find someone more suitable. At least someone with money; the stockings she bought were so cheap, and they broke after he only used them a few times.

Xue Ci noticed that her clothes were getting fewer.

However, it doesn't happen very often, only two or three times a month. Sometimes it's socks, sometimes it's underwear.

He left his clothes hanging on the balcony, so he naturally assumed they had been blown away by the wind and never suspected the wealthy man.

It just means there's another expense.

However, it was quickly scrapped by Bai Wu.

Bai Wu already knew his address and ordered takeout for him and delivered dresses, jewelry, and bags to him at the same time every day.

After taking the photos, Xue Ci tidied up and put the things away, intending to return them to the other person on the day their online romance failed to materialize.

After chatting online for about three months, Bai Wu couldn't resist and suggested meeting in person.

He couldn't stand it anymore. When he chatted with Song Xueci, even a single voice message from her could make him hard all night. If she didn't reply to his messages for even a minute, he would think that other guys were seducing Song Xueci.

Moreover, according to Song Xueci, she lives in a shared apartment, a place where all sorts of people live, and it's definitely not suitable for a pretty young girl like her to live there.

He will rent an apartment near her company.

Bai Wu started planning the whole trip in his mind, and had already imagined whether to have a snowflake-shaped engagement ring, but Song Xueci refused his request to meet.

Bai Wu frowned slightly at the message: [What's wrong?]

Song Xueci did not reply.

Bai Wu waited for ten minutes.

No reply.

Half an hour.

Still no reply.

Bai Wu couldn't sit still any longer, realizing he might have been too presumptuous.

He edited a long message, creating a self-introduction like a blind date post, and then added after sending it, "[Maybe I'm just being a bit direct because I've never been in a relationship before.]"

Indirectly showing the other person that your body is clean.

However, Song Xueci still did not reply.

Bai Wu was anxiously staring at his phone, Cheng Yuqing a sarcastic remark beside him. "How could you let a little girl play you like this? You're begging her to even meet her?"

Bai Wu said coldly, "What do you know? She's very busy."

Bai Wu was just being stubborn; in reality, he was very flustered.

That evening, he finally received Song Xueci's reply. She said she was a little scared and didn't dare to meet so soon.

Bai Wu: [I'm not a bad person, haven't you seen me before?]

Song Xueci avoided the topic.

Men behave no differently than animals when courting, even someone like Bai Wu who seems aloof is no different in essence.

He sent the other person two photos that his teammates had taken during a recent basketball game.

Strong arm lines, abs and V-line casually revealed by the hem of his shirt.

Song Xueci already liked him in college, and now that he's become even more physically fit, she should like him even more.

But the other party still refused to meet.

Bai Wu began to doubt himself, looking in the mirror all day long, feeling that he might not be as young as he was in college, and that his face had aged and become ugly.

He began to feel insecure, sometimes thinking it was a problem with his appearance, and other times feeling that he hadn't given her enough security.

Song Xueci so thin and small, she probably didn't have the strength to resist when she was forced, so it's understandable that she was cautious.

The sense of security that Bai Wu provides is the daily money transfers.

In Cheng Yuqing's view, this guy was a typical example of someone who was stupid and had too much money. He had never even met him, yet he had already spent hundreds of thousands of yuan.

He looked at the man with heart palpitations and said, "How exactly did she bewitch you? Just a few photos? Maybe they were photoshopped!"

Bai Wu can no longer accept anyone saying anything bad about Song Xueci: "What do you know? How could such a pure photo be photoshopped?"

Cheng Yuqing: "I don't believe you. You can't tell anyway. Let me take a look for you."

Bai Wu opened the photo album and handed it to him.

At Cheng Yuqing approached the photos with a professional, critical eye, but as he flipped through them, his attitude gradually changed.

It feels... kind of... awkward.

Her poses and everything else were very seductive; no wonder Bai Wu couldn't resist.

Seeing that Cheng Yuqing's eyes had become fixed on him, Bai Wu took the phone back and didn't show it to him again.

Cheng Yuqing of his daze. "... I think it's photoshopped."

Otherwise, how could she have such beautiful legs?

"And there isn't a single selfie of her face; she'll most likely look terrible in real life."

Bai Wu coldly replied, "Do I care that much about this?"

Inspired by Cheng Yuqing, he couldn't help but confess his Song Xueci that very night.

Of course, his confession wasn't obvious. A privileged young man like him would never have the nerve to say "I like you"—he just said that he and she got along very well, that he didn't care much about her appearance, that it was just a casual meeting, and that he wasn't afraid.

As expected, Song Xueci was worried about these things.

I might be different from what you imagine; if we met, you probably wouldn't continue talking to me.

Bai Wu: [I don't care about these things.]

Explain your stance while transferring the money, to show your commitment.

After several days of waiting, the other party finally agreed to meet next month.

Bai Wu began preparing for the meeting, going to the gym frequently and sending the other person photos of his abs every few days.

He even deliberately said, "You didn't practice very well."

When Song Xueci him a compliment, he was so happy he felt his scalp tingle.

Why haven't you sent me any photos lately? Did you not like the little dress I bought you?

The other person slowly sent a picture of a leg.

Bai Wu felt like he was floating into space, his heart tingling with a tingling sensation.

Of course, he can't float into space.

Because he himself didn't even realize that a dog leash had already been put around his neck.

Before they had even met, Song Xueci had already turned him into a complete simp.

*

The day finally arrived.

The two arranged to meet at an elegant Chinese restaurant.

The agreed time was 11 a. m., Bai Wu woke up very early, or rather, he hadn't slept all night.

Of course, he wouldn't dress too formally for this kind of person—he'd dress casually and loosely, yet still exude his handsomeness in every way.

He even arrived at the private room early to adjust his seat, ensuring he was in the perfect position from every angle.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Finally, he heard footsteps outside.

The moment the door was pushed open, Bai Wu's heart jumped into his throat with tension.

His breath caught in his throat as he looked at the person who had entered.

Song Xueci was more beautiful than he had imagined.

Much prettier.

But... it's a man.

The other person's gaze was so blatant that Xue Ci didn't dare to move. He cautiously asked, "[He's been staring at me. Does he want to hit me?]"

11:[.]

It's just lust.

Let the baby interact with everyone, let them try different things... [pity][pity][pity]

I'll be going on a business trip this weekend, so I'll finish the next chapter on Sunday night.
