The Honest Working Stiff Who Was Catfished Online (22)

Xue Ci was startled by the sudden sound.

Outside, Bai Wu looked terrible, his face tense, and his lips pressed into a thin line. "When you broke up with me, didn't you say you wouldn't accept doing these things with men?"

Xue Ci awkwardly looked away, unsure of what to say.

He pretended not to hear, looked away, and licked his lips that had been hurt from the impact.

He whispered to Cheng Yuqing, "It's time to go home."

Completely ignored, Bai Wu's face turned ashen. Seeing Cheng Yuqing still clinging to Xue Ci and refusing to leave, he could no longer hold back and took a few steps forward to grab this straight-laced good brother who coveted his wife.

Bai Wu used a lot of force, Cheng Yuqing completely off guard. Cheng staggered back several steps, choked, and his face and neck instantly turned red.

Xue Ci felt pain just looking at it, and whispered, "Be gentle..."

In Bai Wu's eyes, Xue Ci not only wasn't Cheng Yuqing, but also blamed herself for the other party's sake.

Jealousy spread from his heart throughout his body, and a chill emanated from him.

Xue Ci sensed danger and instinctively stepped back, but to her surprise, the man, who looked quite pale, said, "I understand."

It even sounds a bit aggrieved.

What's there to feel wronged about?

Xue Ci stared at him with a puzzled look.

Bai Wu turned his face away. "I'll take him back first."

Xue Ci finally relieved.

After the two left, the entire floor fell silent instantly.

It was getting late, Xue Ci was already exhausted. She grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom.

Cheng Yuqing didn't take off his necklace; the Xiao Xue, gleaming under the incandescent light, hung in the center of his collarbone, making that patch of skin glow as well.

Xue Ci has a slight case of obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness. Since her clothes smelled of alcohol, she took a much more thorough bath than usual.

Steam rose from the hot water, and fluffy bath sponges produced lather. The handsome young man slumped over, his frame small, yet his curves were ample in all the right places.

The hot water scalded her smooth, soft skin until it turned red, but Xue Ci out.

Bai Wu was standing outside the door, looking as if he had something to say to him.

Xue Ci held the clothes, her eyes wet with tears, and looked at him. She waited for a minute, but he just stared at her without saying a word.

Xue Ci's legs were aching from standing, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"

The boy's polite manner made it seem as if he were treating a complete stranger. Bai Wu was so angry that his eyelids twitched, and he just wanted to kiss this heartless little cat until he suffocated.

He took a deep breath, his tone restrained and controlled. "What was Cheng Yuqing saying just now? What did he mean by putting both in at the same time? And why was he licking you again? When did he lick you, and where did he lick you?"

Having just forgotten what she had been told, Xue Ci's ears started burning again.

Even when idiots change the subject, they do it awkwardly. "Did you rent this place?"

Bai Wu gave a faint "hmm": "You don't want me to live here?"

Xue Ci had a premonition that if she expressed her disapproval again, the man in front of her might do something unexpected.

No, I feel very safe with you here.

Xue Ci smiled, her eyebrows curving Bai Wu. Seeing that the man's coldness had dissipated, she said pitifully, "I'm a little tired. Can I go to sleep now?"

Xue Ci is very good at feigning weakness.

Bai Wu was completely bewildered, and when he came to his senses, Xue Ci was nowhere to be seen.

He glanced at Xue Ci's tightly closed door.

He bought the new lock with Xue Ci, so he naturally had the key. He could open the door and go in right now if he wanted to.

He knew exactly how strong Xue Ci was. As long as he held her in his arms and kissed her tongue, bouncing her back and forth, Xue Ci could only weakly cling to him and cry softly.

Bai Wu's eyes darkened further; he was being driven mad by his own insane thoughts.

From the day Xue Ci was taken away by Gu Yan, he never stopped trying to find out about Xue Ci.

She lived in Gu Yan's villa, eating and sleeping together, and was treated like a concubine.

His wildest idea was to create a pair of golden shackles to chain Xue Ci to his bed, making her completely soft and helpless, leaving her unable to do anything but rely on him, obediently calling him "husband." She would even need to be carried to eat and bathe.

During that period, Bai Wu frequently had this kind of dream, and it would last all night long.

However, when he woke up, he hadn't received a single message from Xue Ci.

Now, even Cheng Yuqing has started openly pursuing someone.

He, on the other hand, is relegated to the status of an ex-boyfriend and receives no attention whatsoever.

A layer of hot sweat appeared on his back. With a sullen face, Bai Wu used his key to open the door.

Xue Ci had already fallen asleep. The small orange lamp by the bedside cast a soft and peaceful glow on the boy's sleeping face. His thick eyelashes were curled in an alluring way, and even the way his lips were puffed out was just right.

How could anyone dislike Song Xueci?

That's why he sneaked into the pretty kitten's room like a pervert.

The kitten's fingers were slender and delicate, white and tender like jade, even its nails were pink.

Bai Wu suffered from oral sex disorder and sexual cravings for many days, and could only survive on the old clothes he had tricked into giving him. But after he had stained those clothes and washed them again and again, they had long lost their original scent.

The man's eyes gradually turned crimson as he entwined Xue Ci's fingers, licking them wet with his burning tongue and gently biting the soft flesh on her fingertips.

Xue Ci hummed a few times. When she woke up, she saw the man kneeling beside the bed and was so frightened that she tried to pull her hand back.

"You..."

He paused for two seconds, then noticed the beads of sweat and bulging veins on Bai Wu's forehead and realized something.

She pursed her lips, Xue Ci her face, and placed her finger back near the man's lips.

"... You need to bite gently."

His cheeks were puffed out, and he looked a little grumpy, but not much. "Also, don't sneak into my room."

When the illness flares up, the pain is unbearable, completely driven by bodily desires. Yet, for the first time during this episode, Bai Wu felt that he was still conscious.

Because he could hear his own heartbeat through his chest.

Very hard.

He was telling him that even if he couldn't win Song Xueci's love, he was willing to give her all of his love.

*

Xue Ci is noticeably happier now that she doesn't have to be a corporate slave.

I can sleep until I naturally wake up every day, without having to squeeze onto the subway during rush hour, without having to sit at my desk and have my energy drained, and without having to repeat useless work.

Bai Wu now lives entirely in the apartment.

When Cheng Yuqing found out, he also insisted on coming to stay.

Bai Wu naturally disagreed, and seeing the atmosphere between the two becoming tense, Xue Ci advised, "It's far from the company here."

"Xiao Ci, I'll resign after you resign." Ever since Cheng Yuqing kissed Xue Ci under the guise of being drunk that day, he's completely dropped the pretense. "I was planning to resign anyway, I only stayed at the company because I like you. Who wants to work with someone who stole someone else's wife?"

Bai Wu coldly sneered, "Who are you talking about?"

The straight man was shameless; seeing that Bai Wu wouldn't give him a room, he clung to Xue Ci, begging to sleep on the floor.

It clung to me like a big dog, relentlessly.

Seeing that Xue Ci hesitant and about to compromise, Bai Wu had no choice but to settle for second best and give the furthest room to Cheng Yuqing.

Chu Juesheng only went home for a short while, but he gained two rivals in love.

Oh well, there will only be more rivals, they're just annoying to be around every day.

When he returned, he shared the good news with Xue Ci: "I've discussed it with my family, and I'll be running a band while attending university. My university acceptance letter will be here soon."

Chu Juesheng has excellent grades and is very energetic, but he was too rebellious before, which is why he broke off relations and said he wouldn't go to university.

Now that his rivals have impressive resumes, he can't afford to fall behind.

School starts in two weeks, and although his school is in the city, he might not have time to keep an eye on his rival's actions due to his band performances.

Everyone has their own career, which ensures that they are not too clingy while still taking good care of Xue Ci.

Xue Ci is well taken care of. The few pounds she lost from working recently have come back, and her cheeks are fuller.

Her skin was fair with a rosy glow, clearly indicating that she had been pampered and carefully cared for.

The kitchen was cleaned again, and Bai Wu brought the robot with him.

Every morning, Xue Ci would run to the robot on time to watch it work. After it finished, she would pat the robot's head and say with satisfaction, "Good boy!"

Several men practically wanted to lean their heads in.

Bai Wu was even jealous of the robot. The next day, Xue Ci woke up on time but didn't find Xiao e.

Xiao e was the nickname Xue Ci gave it because Xiao e's eyes were shaped like the letter "e" and it looked a bit silly.

"It malfunctioned and had to be sent back to the factory for repair." In this era, robot technology has made initial progress, but it is not very mature, and crashes are common.

Xue Ci stared at the empty spot where Xiao e was charging, her face downcast and filled with disappointment.

Cheng Yuqing immediately comforted her, "Don't be sad, I'll take you to pick out a new one right away, okay?"

Xue Ci her head. "No..."

His eyes were light and gentle, yet incredibly tender. "Xiao e would be sad if she came back."

Seeing Xue Ci's lowered eyes, the others dared not be jealous and nervously surrounded the handsome young man, gently coaxing him.

Cheng Yuqing winked at Bai Wu, and Bai Wu brought Xiao e back that very day.

Seeing Xue Ci regain her energy, the men's faces relaxed as well.

*

Time flew by in the low-rent apartment. Xue Ci submitted a few resumes as the storyline suggested, and then spent her free time playing games.

Chu Juesheng still had half a month of summer vacation left, so he had plenty of time and used his poor gaming skills as an excuse to have Xue Ci teach him how to play games every day.

Even just defeating a small boss was praised to the skies, making Xue Ci feel lightheaded. Her cheeks rested on her knees, and the tips of her ears turned red. Her tone carried a hint of smugness. "I'm really good at games! You should learn from me."

Chu Juesheng's gaze was like that of a wolf eyeing a herbivore. "Then teach me more."

He leaned closer, originally just wanting to smell Xue Ci's scent, but accidentally caught a glimpse of her pinkish rosy cheeks beneath her loose pajamas.

He stood there dumbfounded, like a naive young boy who had never seen the world before.

After immediately looking away, I couldn't help but recall the scene.

However, perhaps because he was young and easily embarrassed, he didn't take any chances like the others to provoke Xue Ci Xue Ci with trash talk and deliberately make her show that kind of expression.

At most, he would only dare to confess his feelings with his ears turning red, and remind the other person to dress properly.

Half a month passed quickly. Xue Ci and 11 stayed at home until the Fragment started clamoring to meet, at which Xue Ci remembered to check the progress bar.

It didn't increase at all...

Xue Ci felt that this might be retribution for her excessive laziness.

He'll be leaving Fog City in two weeks, and by then he won't have the chance to meet the main characters or make any effective corrections to the plot.

11 checked: [Host, 11's analysis results are in. The biggest factor is that Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing's team's work has stagnated.]

Xue Ci asked in confusion, "[Isn't this supposed to be about the main characters' growth? Why is it their career storyline?]"

11. Regarding the protagonist still holding a grudge: [That's right! As the villain, Bai Wu needs to succeed in his career to be able to strike at the protagonist. Setbacks and hardships are also a form of growth for the protagonist!]

Xue Ci: "..."

Is that so...? He hadn't expected growing up to have this kind of meaning.

It seems we can only urge Bai Wu on the other side.

Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing did indeed spend most of their time in the apartment during this period, one focusing on studying recipes and the other sending him equipment in the game.

I've devoted all my energy to him.

Xue Ci subtly reminded the two to focus on their careers.

However, despite their verbal agreement, the progress bar didn't move an inch.

11 immediately offered a suggestion: [Host, they won't feel any sense of crisis if you just say it directly.]

Xue Ci: [Should I get angry with them?]

11: [You can just find someone to date.]

Xue Ci: Hmm?

11: [Many people in the game are waiting to add you as a friend. You can pick and choose from them. Then tell them you only date powerful men.]

Xue Ci thought about it and agreed that it was indeed feasible.

After all, if the progress bar doesn't move, he'll have to stay here indefinitely.

After a few seconds of hesitation: [Will this be out of character?]

11: [We're honest people, and honest people don't know how to refuse others!! If the host is pretty, she should date more boyfriends!!]

Xue Ci hesitated.

He had already witnessed the consequences of online dating; Bai Wu had been pestering him for a long time.

After discussing it with 11 for a long time, Xue Ci decided to find Chu Juesheng.

He and Chu Juesheng were already very close during this time, so there was no need for them to be in a romantic relationship. As long as he deliberately Chu Juesheng in front of Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing, the two of them should feel ashamed—that they couldn't compare to a freshman.

Fortunately Chu Juesheng lived up to expectations, telling him as soon as he got back that night that the band's new song had won the Best Song Award.

Looking at the gleaming golden trophy, Xue Ci exclaimed sincerely, "Amazing..."

Chu Juesheng scratched his head sheepishly.

After Xue Ci finished her remark, seeing Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing in the living room, she deliberately exaggerated, "Wow, that's amazing! I like amazing people, and I want to find someone like that to date in the future."

He was so focused on observing Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing felt ashamed that he didn't notice that Chu Juesheng was so aroused that he almost stopped breathing.

After that day, Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing spent less time at home. According to 11, the two were working on the final touches of their second holographic game with their team.

Xue Ci breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Juesheng has already started school, and lately he and Xiao e have been staying home alone.

I thought I would spend the last two weeks in the low-rent housing quietly, but unexpectedly Chu Juesheng sent me messages very frequently, and I even took the time during the military training to write him an 800-word essay.

Every word she wrote expressed her longing for him and her wish that he could come to the school to see her.

The other party was too enthusiastic, Xue Ci couldn't resist, so she agreed.

Chu Juesheng replied instantly.

[Today?]

[At the entrance of the Fog University gate?]

[Should I pick you up? Never mind, I'll just pick you up from your apartment.]

What should we eat together?

[By the way, there are a lot of guys who try to chat you up at school. If they ask for your WeChat, just give them my WeChat.]

Chu Juesheng sent a lot of messages in a row. Xue Ci knew he was still in military training, so she told him not to wander off and that she would arrive at school around six o'clock.

The Fog University in the city center, and when Xue Ci at the school gate, a large patch of sunset was just falling.

As new students began their studies, the roadsides of the school were lined with club recruitment events, Xue Ci was stopped almost every time she passed a club.

"Hey junior, do you want to sign up for our group? It's free."

Come over here!

Before Xue Ci could refuse, someone put their arm around her shoulder from behind.

He's not a freshman.

Chu Juesheng spoke indifferently to others, with a sharp jawline, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Xue Ci turned around.

After only two days of military training, Chu Juesheng had already tanned a shade darker.

"Do you have any performances coming up soon? Is it okay for you to get a tan?" Xue Ci worriedly. "Did you apply sunscreen?"

"No." Chu Juesheng thought for a moment, "My roommates all have partners, and they use their partners' sunscreen. Nobody cares about me."

The arrogant freshman who had just been cold and indifferent to strangers became a pitiful, isolated dog in front of Xue Ci.

However, this tactic was very effective against Xue Ci.

When the two were discussing going out to eat, Xue Ci planned to go to a nearby store to buy him two bottles of sunscreen.

Chu Juesheng wasn't familiar with Fog University, so he found a grilled fish restaurant. But before setting off, he needed to go back to his dorm to change out of his camouflage uniform.

The boy has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with an excellent height and a striking face that stands out in the crowd. Even in a regular, oversized military training uniform, he exudes a cool and rebellious vibe.

Xue Ci thought it was just that the other person was particular, but little did she know that Chu Juesheng had already taken this as their first date very seriously, and had even taken a shower.

I had just finished showering and changing when my roommates came back from outside.

The three boys were all very tall, and their eyes lit up when they saw Xue Ci.

"You must be Chu Juesheng's boyfriend?"

"I see he messages you every day, and even his phone's wallpaper is of you."

You look much better in person than in photos!

When you like someone, 90% of your conversations will revolve around that person.

Chu Juesheng didn't talk much, but whenever he did, he always talked about Xue Ci.

His roommates all knew how clingy he was to his boyfriend, and they assumed it was just Chu Juesheng being love-struck and having a biased view of him. However, after actually seeing Xue Ci, they just felt that Chu Juesheng deal!

Xue Ci seemed to possess an innate attractive quality. After Chu Juesheng came out, he impatiently chased the others away before tightly holding Xue Ci's hand.

After that, Chu Juesheng became addicted and wanted to see Xue Ci almost every day.

After meeting, they held hands, strolled around the playground, ate, and watched movies... Chu Juesheng, a band member, was a natural romantic and never bothered with such mundane things.

He felt that his love must be great and passionate, at least different from that of ordinary people.

Doing these things with Xue Ci is not boring at all; on the contrary, I look forward to it every day.

Chu Juesheng thought he was already in a relationship, and he took every opportunity during the entire military training period to announce that he had a girlfriend.

Of course, Xue Ci Fog University more often, and photos of the two walking together were even posted on the forum.

After Chu Juesheng saw this, he liked every single comment that shipped them as a couple.

The ten-day military training has come to an end.

After a few days off from school, Chu Juesheng was eager to return home, so he simply grabbed a bag and went straight back to his rented apartment.

However, the scene inside the house immediately dampened his spirits.

Xue Ci was squeezed between Bai Wu and Cheng Yuqing on the sofa. One of the men casually draped his arm over Xue Ci's back, while the other pressed close to Xue Ci's body.

Inseparable.

Chu Juesheng suddenly paused, as if he had completely woken up from a beautiful dream.

Cheng Yuqing was explaining the new game's settings to Xue Ci when he heard the noise. He glanced to the side and said, "So dark? Looks like you're out of touch."

Chu Juesheng froze.

When he saw Xue Ci looking in his direction, his lips tightened instantly, and he almost stopped breathing.

But the next second, he saw Xue Ci smile at him, "You look even more handsome like this!"

Chu Juesheng as if his heart was melting, his ears turned red, and he said nothing, obediently sitting on the low stool next to the sofa.

The game is currently 97% complete, Xue Ci is asking, "When will the game be released?"

Cheng Yuqing the tablet. "It'll be ready soon, around the second half of the year. We've been working on it for several years."

The two of them have to go on a business trip to meet with clients tomorrow, so they came to Xue Ci's place tonight specifically to report on their progress.

The main reason is that they really want to Xue Ci.

The men reluctantly looked away and left with their suitcases.

Xue Ci got up from the sofa and went straight to the bathroom.

Lately, he's been staying home alone and has become lazy, sometimes forgetting to bring a towel.

The door opened, and steam billowed out.

Xue Ci to Xiao e through the crack to get a towel.

However, the next moment, a large, veiny hand pressed directly against the door.

Xue Ci then remembered that Chu Juesheng had returned from his vacation.

He stretched out a section of his snow-white arm, and water droplets from his body splashed onto the other person's palm.

"Thanks."

Taking the towel, Xue Ci was about to close the door when Chu Juesheng's tall figure squeezed through the crack in the door.

A strong scent of hormones washed over her, Xue Ci, covered in water droplets, felt awkward, unsure whether to block it or not, and took two steps back in embarrassment.

He thought Chu Juesheng was coming in to get something, but the other man just stared straight at him.

Xue Ci's cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "W-what's wrong...?"

You're all covered in pink.

What...

Xue Ci's shoulders trembled, and she was quickly cornered by the tall figure.

Chu Juesheng's gaze was fixed on her deep red lips. "You promised me."

"Um?"

"Teach me how to kiss."

Xue Ci's eyelashes trembled violently, and her whole body blushed and turned pink.

His back was already tiled, and the boy seemed to be deliberately squeezing him, pressing his body against his chest.

The air was squeezed out, Xue Ci called out softly.

That sound made Chu Juesheng's breathing become heavy.

The fabric of his clothes rubbed against Xue Ci's skin, quickly turning it red. The male student, who was already fully erect, clung to him, calling him "little teacher," insisting that he teach him.

Xue Ci couldn't bring herself to say such things, as she wasn't really good at it either.

His eyelashes trembled as he tried to remain calm. "Lower your head and bring your face closer."

Chu Juesheng, like an ignorant lecher, got too close, and his nose bumped directly into Xue Ci's soft cheek.

The rest is self-taught and doesn't require instruction.

He rubbed his lips together, then slipped his tongue inside to eat the saliva.

Xue Ci was so dizzy from the kisses that she was eventually carried into the bedroom.

He thought he had finished teaching, but Chu Juesheng still clung to him and refused to leave, saying things like, "Little teacher, you're so great, your mouth is so sweet and comforting," and then pestering him to say he wanted to learn something else.

It's as if they won't leave unless they're taught.

Xue Ci was weak, her voice muffled and wet, her cheeks flushed pink from the kisses. "What... what else do I need to learn?"

Chu Juesheng didn't miss a single expression on his face.

She kissed his fingers. "It'll make you feel good."

The door clicked open.

The two, who had forgotten to give the bear-shaped cookies to Xue Ci and turned back halfway, one stared at the bathroom where the faint fragrance still lingered, and the other stood stiffly at the door of Xue Ci's room.

moment.

A few soft, cat-like sobs came from inside the room, as if the person couldn't bear it any longer.

And the sound of water forcefully swallowing something.
