Yuan Bozhu returned home before eleven o’clock.

When he heard the sound of the door opening, Yuan Qifeng and Yuan Wanjiao rushed to the door at the fastest speed, like two door gods guarding him.

As he changed his shoes, Yuan Wanjiao said regretfully, “That classmate didn’t keep you? It must be because you didn’t bring flowers. Next time, you must bring flowers.”

Yuan Bozhu was tired and didn’t want to say anything. He passed by the two of them and went to his own bedroom.

But when he passed by Yuan Qifeng, he was caught by the latter.

Yuan Qifeng was very strong.

This was one of his powerful advantages as someone with the bloodline of a beastman.

Even Yuan Bozhu, caught off guard, was grabbed by him.

He thought Yuan Qifeng was going to say something unbearable again.

But the result was unexpected.

Yuan Qifeng looked at him calmly, his narrow eyes squinted slightly, suddenly leaned in, and sniffed carefully with his nose.

“…” Yuan Bozhu withdrew his hand silently and took a step back.

There was a bit of disdain, but he restrained it.

“What did you encounter on the road?” Yuan Qifeng’s expression was unusually serious.

He caught onto Yuan Qifeng’s choice of words—

Encounter.

Yuan Qifeng seemed certain that what Yuan Bozhu encountered wasn’t a person.

And Yuan Bozhu was also clear, this scent came from whom.

“Nothing.” He denied it categorically.

“Yuan Bozhu, if you encounter anything strange, don’t hide it from me. It’s important.” Yuan Qifeng’s brow furrowed deeply, as if he wouldn’t be satisfied until he heard Yuan Bozhu say something.

Yuan Bozhu, however, remained calm and shook his head lightly.

Yuan Qifeng doubted, “Impossible, I clearly smelled it.”

Dog’s nose.

Yuan Bozhu thought.

“I said there’s nothing, why are you being so fussy?” Yuan Wanjiao pulled Yuan Qifeng, using her eyes to signal him to stop talking.

Yuan Qifeng was somewhat unwilling, but also afraid of scaring Yuan Bozhu by saying too much, so he could only snort coldly, “I’ve been staying at home these days, trying not to go out. If you encounter any trouble, tell me, I’ll handle it.”

Trouble?

Perhaps.

In Yuan Bozhu’s mind, Lin Shuanghuai had always been one of the top “risk-averse figures.”

But this has nothing to do with Lin Shuanghuai himself.

It was just because he received too much attention and had too much influence. Being close to him made simple matters complicated. So, Yuan Bozhu didn’t want to involve himself too much with him.

But Yuan Qifeng calling Lin Shuanghuai some kind of “thing” didn’t sit right with Yuan Bozhu.

Strictly speaking, none of the people present were completely pure humans.

Lin Shuang wasn’t at the point where they needed to intervene.

Compared to that, the bounty on Yuan Qifeng’s head was the biggest trouble they faced.

“Understood.”

Yuan Bozhu didn’t intend to say much, just nodded casually and returned to his bedroom.

Because of Lin Shuanghuai’s interruption, he didn’t finish his homework until midnight.

This was probably the first time in Yuan Bozhu’s years of studying that he had dragged his homework out so late.

Actually, studying was easy for him.

The difficult part was how to integrate his centuries of life with his current eighteen years into a seamless blend.

For example, when he first came to this world, Yuan Bozhu could easily memorize all the theorems and formulas in biology, chemistry, and physics textbooks.

But he could never understand what the universe was. What gravity was. Were the human body’s organs and systems inevitably destined to fail?

In the world he once lived in, such things didn’t exist.

Cultivation could change a lot of things, could ignore mathematical laws, physical formulas, and even human anatomy.

Ruling over heaven and earth, commanding wind and rain, living forever without dying, achieving enlightenment and becoming immortal.

In this world, there was only one saying: “Don’t be superstitious, believe in science.”

So, in the worldview of science, Yuan Bozhu struggled to memorize the contents of the textbooks and worked hard to restrain all the unscientific forces in his body, keeping himself in check.

Now, he completed his homework in the most scientific way possible and then prepared for bed.

Yuan Bozhu didn’t have the habit of playing with his phone at night.

It wasn’t until the next morning that he realized Lin Shuanghuai had sent him many messages.

22:50

[Lin Shuanghuai replied]: Have you reached home yet?

23:30

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Lin Shuanghuai patted you again.

23:45

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Yuan, after you left, I felt like that ghost appeared again. How about you come back?

23:50

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Just kidding [arms_crossed.jpg]

[Lin Shuanghuai]: I’m not afraid

00:15

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Yuan, I cooked some late-night snacks, let me show you

[Lin Shuanghuai]: [Image information]

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Super deluxe double-egg beef instant noodles, even ghosts would drool over.

01:30

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Yuan, my knees are a bit sore.

[Lin Shuanghuai]: I’m going to grow taller, my bones will stretch five centimeters tonight, let’s compare tomorrow. [anticipation.jpg]

01:31

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Oh, I fell and bumped my knee at night.

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Let’s not compare tomorrow. Goodnight~

Yuan Bozhu frowned from the beginning, until he saw the last sentence, silently hooked the corner of his mouth.

But he didn’t reply.

Lin Shuanghuai’s messages seemed more like talking to himself, perhaps just wanting to vent to someone.

Unless necessary, Yuan Bozhu didn’t intend to interact too much with him.

But either by coincidence or by design, Yuan Bozhu was preparing to leave after breakfast when a new message from Lin Shuanghuai happened to come in.

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Yuan! Something bad happened!

Yuan Bozhu happened to step into the elevator, in a space without signal, he looked at this message for a while.

After stepping out of the elevator, he replied.

[Yuan Bozhu]: ?

[Lin Shuanghuai]: [Image information] Look at this!

Yuan Bozhu opened the picture.

Lin Shuanghuai’s hands were easily recognizable.

Fair and clean skin, slender fingers, distinct joints.

He was carrying two bags.

One contained soy milk, oil sticks, and buns, and the other contained hamburgers, coffee, and bread.

He sent a voice message, saying, “Yuan, the breakfast I bought for you is getting cold. What should I do?”

Yuan Bozhu’s steps paused, almost thinking he misheard.

Recalling carefully from last night, there should have been no discussion about breakfast between him and Lin Shuanghuai.

The only impression was when he left, Lin Shuanghuai mentioned treating him to lunch.

[Yuan Bozhu]: For me?

[Lin Shuanghuai replied]: Yes, to thank you for cutting my hair last night~

Yuan Bozhu thought for a moment, without directly refusing.

[Yuan Bozhu]: Thank you, I’ll come get it later.

[Lin Shuanghuai]:!

[Lin Shuanghuai]: I’ll wait for you at the school gate [bouncing.gif]

[Yuan Bozhu]: Okay, no need to go out of your way for lunch then.

Two minutes.

The “typing” on the other end lasted exactly two minutes.

Then Yuan Bozhu received a new message.

[Lin Shuanghuai]: Yuan, I’m too hungry, I’ve eaten breakfast already. Let me treat you to something else for lunch [happy.jpg]

Lin Shuanghuai’s attitude was so enthusiastic as if they were the best of friends.

Yuan Bozhu couldn’t think of a reason for this and finally didn’t reply to the message.

Today, there were two hotly debated matters in school.

The first was that someone said the four most notorious school bullies from Qiancheng No. 1 High School encountered trouble last night on the school’s back street, fell ill upon returning home, and all took sick leave today.

The second was about the class division after the monthly exams. Everyone was speculating about whether the new division system would strictly follow grades or have other criteria.

Yuan Bozhu was not interested in either matter.

He sat quietly at his desk.

Qin Rui, on the other hand, took the initiative to start a conversation, saying, “Congratulations, congratulations.”

Yuan Bozhu turned to look at him. “Hmm?”

“Those four troublemakers took sick leave today, so no one will bother you,” Qin Rui said.

Since the birthday party incident, Qin Rui had frequently chatted with Yuan Bozhu, but it was evident that he didn’t want to become close friends with him. He just felt that Yuan Bozhu’s quiet demeanor suited him as a listener, especially since he always had endless chatter to share.

“Yuan Bozhu, I heard you work outside on weekends? Can you introduce me to a job too?” Qin Rui asked.

Yuan Bozhu looked puzzled, a rare sight. “You want to work?”

Qin Rui, the richest second-generation in the entire class and even the entire school, who could afford to treat everyone to food and entertainment every day, wanted to work?

“Yeah, to experience life. You don’t know how boring carefree days can be,” Qin Rui said, shaking his head. “Last night, the new server of the mobile game I was playing launched. I eagerly logged in at midnight, only to uninstall it out of sheer boredom. You know why?”

Yuan Bozhu wasn’t interested and didn’t want to know, but he still asked, “Why?”

“Because I became the number one player on the server within ten minutes,” Qin Rui said.

Even Yuan Bozhu couldn’t help but be surprised this time. Although he didn’t play the game Qin Rui mentioned, he had heard of it. Many people stayed up all night just to grind through a dungeon.

It took some skill to become number one.

Yuan Bozhu sincerely said, “That’s impressive.”

Qin Rui paused for a moment, then burst into laughter for two minutes. He laughed until Yuan Bozhu frowned, looking at him in confusion.

“Shouldn’t you ask how I did it first? Don’t you doubt I’m bragging?”

Qin Rui felt Yuan Bozhu was too straightforward.

Actually, Yuan Bozhu wasn’t straightforward; he just felt that Qin Rui didn’t need to show off in front of him.

Boasting about how good one is in front of someone who doesn’t care about winning or losing is meaningless.

So Yuan Bozhu subconsciously believed he wasn’t lying.

“So?” Yuan Bozhu didn’t join in his laughter, just glanced at him coldly.

Qin Rui’s smile froze for a moment, then he awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, “So, I really am the first on the server, not bragging. But I didn’t achieve it by playing.”

He sighed deeply and said, “I spent ten minutes and charged 1.2 million yuan, becoming the most prestigious pay-to-win player on the server, with top-tier equipment, the strongest skills, and all the strategies for clearing dungeons… It’s so boring.”

Yuan Bozhu understood.

That’s the trouble with having too much money.

But at the same time, he didn’t understand.

Since he knew spending money would be so boring, why spend it?

“You can start a new account,” Yuan Bozhu suggested reasonably.

“No, it’s no use.” Qin Rui poured out his heart, “When you have more money than you can spend, you instinctively use money to solve all your problems. Even if I started a new account and encountered an unbeatable monster, the first thing I’d do is spend money to buy equipment. Spending money recklessly is my instinct, just like yours—”

Yuan Bozhu looked at him.

Qin Rui yawned before finishing, “—like your instinct to save as much as possible. It’s all in our genes.”

Yuan Bozhu looked away without commenting. “What does this have to do with working?”

“I heard that when you earn your own hard-earned money, you’ll feel reluctant to spend it. I want to try,” Qin Rui leaned in, quite interested, and asked, “How much do you earn part-time?”

“Eighty.”

“How many hours?”

“Six hours,” Yuan Bozhu said.

“Let me calculate.” Qin Rui took out his phone and calculated while muttering, “Eighty bucks an hour, six hours a day, so the daily wage is four hundred and eighty—hiss, with this little money, spending a day is not worth it, right?”

Yuan Bozhu looked at him inexplicably.

Qin Rui said, “Eighty. For a whole day.”

Yuan Bozhu: “…”

Qin Rui put down his phone, his expression solemn and solemn, and said to Yuan Bozhu, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect you to be even poorer than I thought.”

But it didn’t end there. Qin Rui paused and added, “How about you work for me? Help me with homework every day, carry my schoolbag, buy me lunch. In summer, when I’m napping and it’s too hot, you can fan me. I can pay you a thousand bucks an hour. Although two people are already doing this job, I don’t mind having one more person. Anyway, I have plenty of money—”

Yuan Bozhu turned his head without expression, deciding not to pay attention to Qin Rui anymore.

Qin Rui muttered about this incident for the entire class break.

When school was over at noon, Yuan Bozhu got up to leave, planning to go to the cafeteria as usual, but Qin Rui followed.

Yuan Bozhu asked, “Is there something?”

Qin Rui nodded and said, “I’ve thought about it, and I do want to try working. How about this, you introduce me to a job, and I’ll pay you a referral fee. You name the price, but I have one requirement: the part-time job must have air conditioning.”

“Oh, of course, eighty a day is a bit too little. I want a job where I work two hours a day, just for the experience. And the salary should be at least five hundred or more. I don’t really care about the money, but if people find out I’m earning only eighty bucks a day, it’s too much of a blow to my dignity.”

“Also, I don’t want a job that’s too tiring. My physical stamina isn’t that great, and I tend to doze off when it’s hot. Oh, and the location is important too, it shouldn’t be too far from my home. Do you know where I live? It’s the top-tier villa in the city center, worth two million per square. It would be great to find a part-time job nearby so I can go home after work and lie down.”

Yuan Bozhu rarely felt so impatient with someone.

He felt a faint sense of this now.

To avoid showing too much disdain towards Qin Rui and affecting his low-profile image in the class, Yuan Bozhu could only silently endure in his heart.

Walking downstairs without saying a word, he didn’t plan to pay attention to Qin Rui.

Qin Rui: “Slow down, why are you in such a hurry? Is having long legs a big deal? Do you remember to help me find a job quickly? I want to—”

Yuan Bozhu’s impatience reached its limit. He really wanted to cast a spell to permanently silence this non-stop talker.

However, when they reached the corner of the corridor, he suddenly saw a figure rushing up the stairs.

“Yuan classmate.”

Lin Shuanghuai gasped for breath, holding onto the railing, looking up from a few steps below at Yuan Bozhu and said,

“I knew you would forget about lunch, so I came over.”

But then he noticed Qin Rui standing beside him.

“Is this your friend?” Lin Shuanghuai straightened up slightly, put on his best polite smile, and greeted Qin Rui, saying, “Hello, classmate, shall we have lunch together? I’ll treat you—”

“Tsk…”

Qin Rui frowned, took a big step back, looked at Yuan Bozhu, then at Lin Shuanghuai, and muttered under his breath, “Bodhisattva bless, don’t let me get jinxed, don’t let me get jinxed.”

He turned and left quickly.

Lin Shuanghuai’s smile froze on his face, he licked his dry lips, feeling a bit at a loss as he glanced at Yuan Bozhu.

“Did… something happen?”
