I Became the Bad Boy's Lackey

"That's cheating!" Mo Aini said.

"It obviously is, did I say it was not?" Hu Chuntian rolled his eyes.

The fuck, how shameless can this guy be!?

Mo Aini still tried to get his worksheet paper back without making much noise, but Hu Chuntian pushed his face away.

"Argh! Get your dirty hand off my face! I'm alerting the teacher if you don't give that back!"

"Try to do that and I'll introduce you to my favorite metal bat. It's in the locker right now, do you want to see how well I swing it?" Hu Chuntian threatened him.

This is exploitation! When will this fucking bad boy love interest just leave him alone?

The teacher looked back to their direction and Hu Chuntian casually lowered Mo Aini's paper down and smiled at the female teacher.

The female teacher scowled. "Mr. Hu, take your feet off the desk."

"Yes, Ma'am." Hu Chuntian took his feet off and the teacher went back to writing on the board.

Mo Aini took the opportunity to steal his paper back.

Hu Chuntian's eyes widen, like he really didn't expect Mo Aini to have the guts to do that after he threatened him. He narrowed his eyes. "Who are you? Are you new in this school?"

So in this route, he and Hu Chuntian haven't met until today?

"I'm Mo Aini. And no, I've been in this school since I was a kid." Mo Aini said proudly.

Hu Chuntian chuckled. "Then don't you know who I am?"

(Of course, I fucking know you. You made my peaceful side character life turn into a whole circus shitshow from those rumors.)

Mo Aini responded plainly. "You're Hu Chuntian, a well-known punk."

Hu Chuntian grabbed his collar. "I am the Tiger Emperor that everyone bows down to, and you're just a measly little ant that I can stomp on my feet. Do you still dare to talk back at me?"

Mo Aini wanted to say (I'm not an ant, I'm fucking 1 centimeter taller than you.) Or (Wow, Tiger Emperor. Is that your superhero name back in 3rd grade?)

Or he could just punch Hu Chuntian again like he did on the rooftop.

But those things, being stubborn and fighting for himself, just made that guy follow him everywhere like a tail. So Mo Aini figured why not try the opposite to gain the opposite effect? Maybe Hu Chuntian was the type who likes feisty people and is disgusted with submissive ones.

"O-Okay! Okay! I'm sorry, please don't hurt me!" Mo Aini raised both hands like a coward. "I'll let you copy my answer sheets now, just please don't hurt me!"

Hu Chuntian's eyebrows knitted. "Where's your spunk now? Not so tough now, are you?"

"I'm just an average guy who wants to live in peace! I'll do anything you say from now on!" Mo Aini placed both hands together and bowed to him, shaking in 'fear'.

Actually, he's trying so hard not to laugh, he's shaking! Hu Chuntian buys this 'bullied weakling' act so quickly!

Hu Chuntian let go, and sneered. "You should do my homework too. I need to get into Class A next month, and you're my one-way ticket there."

"You want to g-get into Class A?" Mo Aini asked like a wimp.

"There's a teeny little mouse there that stole my cheese. I'm taking her back." Hu Chuntian said.

(The fuck are you calling my sister "cheese"! Disgusting!)

Hu Chuntian put his feet back up the desk, and his eraser fell on the floor. He took another cinnamon stick and told Mo Aini, "Pick that up."

"Yes, sir!" Mo Aini hurriedly picked up the eraser, trying to put down the thought of shoving that eraser down the bastard delinquent's throat.

"I'm older than anyone in this room. You should call me Hu- gege or Hu- da ge."

"What's with your obsession on geges and da ges?" Mo Aini muttered from annoyance.

"Did you say something?" Hu Chuntian bit down on the cinnamon stick.

Mo Aini swallowed his spit. "Nothing, Da Ge~"

[How the tables have turned.]

(Shut the fuck up.)

Mo Aini tried to keep staring at Hu Chuntian in a malicious way, making him as uncomfortable as he can. He even put a hand over his cheek and sighed lovingly. Hu Chuntian finally asked him, "Why are you staring at me like that, you wimp?"

"I just thought I realized how handsome you were like a campus male god."

Hu Chuntian blinked, then scowled. "Are you being sarcastic?"

"No! Your hand was covering my face so I didn't see your awe-inspiring beauty. If I only realized it sooner, I wouldn't have been rude to you. Da Ge, from now on, I'll do anything for you, so just as from this humble one, ok?" Mo Aini brought the 'cringey simp' act by a few more notches.

Hu Chuntian's face twisted. "Are you a freaking 'comrade'*?"

Mo Aini had been cursed again to be thought of as gay, but no matter! If it pushes Hu Chuntian farther away from him, he will be the king of the gays if he has to!

"Yes! I like men, especially sadistic, dominant men like you! Yep, I like being dominated and bullied, it sends shivers down my spine and builds up a tent in my pants!" Mo Aini said with all smiles like he was just admitting his favorite TV drama.

Hu Chuntian grimaced, turning away. Mo Aini doesn't care about losing face anymore, he had lost enough for a lifetime back at Gou Manchu's route. He rejoiced in successfully shutting up and disgusting Hu Chuntian.

---------------

"Da Ge, would you like me to buy your lunch for you?" Mo Aini keeps being an annoying little 'comrade' on Hu Chuntian.

"I only asked you to help me with my studies, not become my sugar daddy. Besides, I'm more affluent than you, what can a peasant like you even afford?" Hu Chuntian said.

"I can buy you Kung Pao Chicken!" Mo Aini offered. "You like spicy foods, don't you?"

"How did you know that?" Hu Chuntian said.

"I've been stalking you, of course! I need to know everything about my dear Tiger Emperor Da Ge!" Mo Aini replied brightly.

"Freak!" Hu Chuntian stomped off farther from Mo Aini in the cafeteria.

"I should say the same as you back then. Those Weibo posts made me want to crawl up in the dirt and die." Mo Aini smiled with an exposed vein on his temple as he watch Hu Chuntian leave. "Man, I've upgraded from rumored lover to lapdog. Am I just cursed to keep humiliating myself because of you, Hu Chuntian?"

Mo Aini sat on a table alone and savored his Kung Pao chicken like it was the best in the world. He can't remember when he last sat alone like this. In the real world, he was also a bit of a loner, and he don't really mind it. It was not by choice though, he was naturally unapproachable, and has a foul mouth. He learned for years how much you have to hide your true self for people to like you.

He didn't really want anyone to like him either. If it's for another purpose like money or favors, that's when he will wear another face. Nobody needs him, so he doesn't need anyone either.

A tray clanged beside him. Hu Chuntian came back, and sat beside him!

"Da Ge? Why are you here?" Mo Aini's chopsticks were halfway through his mouth.

"You look like you're going to cry soon if nobody joined you at the table. That solemn face is annoying, you're acting like a monk that's trying to deny worldly matters." Hu Chuntian said.

(You got the complete opposite reading about me! How askew is your perception of people!? I'm happy being alone here!)

"Ah, is that so? Da Ge is very observant and thoughtful, you joined my table when you saw that I was sad. It makes my heart flutter." Mo Aini touched his chest like an easily pleased maiden.

"I didn't come here for that purpose alone. I also came here for you to answer these review questions for me." Hu Chuntian took out a big book that he had tucked in his arms and slammed it on the table. "When the monthly exams come up, I better have perfect scores."

"But Da Ge.... During the monthly exams, you can't 'borrow' my exam papers. I'm afraid you might get caught and get into trouble." Mo Aini said.

"That's what this reviewer is for, I'm going to memorize the answers. I can memorize all of them in 2-3 days. " Hu Chuntian took a bite from Mo Aini's kung pao chicken without permission. "It's too bland, they should have added more chilies."

(Don't complain when you're eating someone else's food, brat! You still eat it anyway even when it's "bland", stop whining.)

"Da Ge can have it if you want. I'm not that hungry anymore. " Mo Aini added in the most coquettish tone: "I'm only hungry for Da Ge's love~"

"Shut up and answer the questionnaires before I dunk you in a toilet bowl." Hu Chuntian answered coldly, still eating Mo Aini's food with Mo Aini's chopsticks.

"But Da Ge, how about I tutor you instead of you relying on borrowing my answers all the time? That way you would be smart through your own efforts." Mo Aini suggested.

(And I won't have to be exploited by a fucking asshole like you.)

"That's too troublesome....." Hu Chuntian suddenly snickered. "Or is this your technique to get to spend more time with me? Are you hoping I would fall for a plain-faced weakling like you if you keep being nice?"

"Oh no! I'm not hoping to be the object of Da Ge's affection at all! I'm satisfied giving all my love for you without anything in return!" Mo Aini said half-truthfully.

He really hopes Hu Chuntian would not fall for him, that'll be disturbing.

"Whatever. Say I did agree for you to tutor me. How does that even work?" Hu Chuntian asked without a hint of sarcasm.

"You haven't been taught personally before? Not even your parents when you were young?" Mo Aini asked.

"No. My parents are never home, they're always doing work when they do anyway. When they hired a private tutor, I just throw things at their faces until they leave. Some of them would let me go out and play all day if I gave them money."

(Wow. No wonder you grew up to be a dumb and obnoxious punk.)

Mo Aini doesn't pity him at all. He was a spoiled brat, why should he? He doesn't want to comfort Hu Chuntian by patting his head, this was all part of the act....

Hu Chuntian's eyes widened. "What do you think you're doing....?"

Mo Aini now remembered how soft and nice to touch Hu Chuntian's hair was. "It must be hard for you, Da Ge. You must have always felt alone, that's why you act so loud and expressive for people to notice you."

He stroked Hu Chuntian's hair, saying: "Don't worry. I'm here now. You won't be alone anymore."
