First World: Snitch

The walk home was extremely tiring as the blazing sun dried out the mud on Wen Qinxi face to crispy flakes. By the time he got back at the Lin mansion, he was literally dragging his feet panting with his head dropped down as tired as a single mother of four.

Wen Qinxi jumped over the fence to sneak back into the mansion as the entire Lin family thought he was asleep. He didn't even pay attention when he walked past the main hall which was currently hosting some guests. If he had gone through the front gate he would have notice the prince's envoy warning him in advance.

As Prince Anzhie noticed a familiar filthy figure walking past the door his face showed a wolfish appearance. He could have let the kid go but Qie An wouldn't be Qie Anzhie if he did that. "Aiya.....Master Lin has indeed raised a noble eloquent young master," said the prince looking straight at Lin Jingxie passing by.

Master Lin followed his gaze and was extremely appalled by what he saw. His usually neat and graceful son was ridden in filth like a piglet that had rolled in a muddy puddle. His posture was sluggish lacking an ounce of nobility. If it had been any regular day he would have let it go but the idiot had to look like that in front of his guest.

"Young Master Lin grace us with your presence!" said Prince Anzhie just in time to stop him before he disappeared. If he had known this was Master Lin's son he would have thrown it in the pompous man's face a long time ago. Master Lin was held in high esteem by the emperor and a constant reminder of Qie Anzhie's flaws as the emperor wouldn't shut up about him. It was time to exert a little revenge.

Wen Qinxi who was just trying not to get caught, heard his name being called and so scanned around. Only to be faced by a blackend Master Lin with veins bulging on his forehead and Prince Anzhie with an eerie grin on his face. 'Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! l am so screwed,' he thought obediently walking back and bowing before the two men gazing at him.

He muttered, "l am so-sorry father," but Master Lin didn't say anything. He wasn't the type that would embarass you in front of strangers but in private, he would sort you out straight.

Master Lin was about to dismiss him vowing to deal with him later but Prince Anzhie decided to add fuel to the already blazing fire. "Oh, now l remember were l saw this young master before," he said before sipping some of his tea, "he's that fellow that was fighting with another youth over a girlfriend, tsk tsk what a shame. As young and weathy as young master Lin is, why would he fight over a woman with a peasant out in the open?"

Master Lin glared at Lin Jingxie with fuming eyes while clenching his fist under the table. The brat had been fighting again and to top it all of, he had a girlfriend.

Wen Qinxi cringed being glared at like that by Master Lin before averting his gaze only to glance at Prince Anzhie who was leering at him. 'How old are you, you fuckin snitch!' cursed Wen Qinxi in his head before bowing while apologising to Master Lin.

"Go clean up, will discuss this later," he said to Lin Jingxie before turning to the prince, "l apologise to His Highness having to witness such appalling behavior. It is my fault as a father for not teaching him well, l will make sure to discipline him." All this was said while gnashing his teeth swallowing down his rage. He just wanted to knock some sense into that unruly child.

Wen Qinxi stomped to his room in anger while yelling at Jolie. This was its job to warn him in advance otherwise what was the point of keeping it around. 'Seriously Jolie, do you actually want Qie Ranzhe out of this game or you are just here to fuck with me. What the fuck is wrong with you?'

'Haha, boss don't be angry. Please calm your nerves otherwise you will die of anger and that would be fucking embarrassing for you,' said Jolie in a pathetic attempt to appease Wen Qinxi. Actually the system was up to no good elsewhere that it didn't realize when Prince Anzhie arrived at the Lin mansion. As for what it was doing, well who knows.

'Such an asshole. Fine, at least you know why that scumbag his here, right?' he asked taking off the sticky muddy mess he was wearing instantly freeing himself feeling relaxed.

'Oh him, the jerkass is looking for information about Qie Ranzhe's mother and Master Lin is the right person to ask. Its easy for Master Lin to get hold of all kinds of information but you don't have to worry because he doesn't get along with Qie Anzhie so he wouldn't give him the information even if he knew it.'

'See, aren't things better when you do your job right?' said Wen Qinxi brimming with annoyance. Jolie didn't want to make Wen Qinxi angry as it desperately wanted that companion system. If it had hands right now it would be massaging Wen Qinxi's shoulders while feeding him grapes.

'Ahem....boss, how are you planning on raising money to build the shelter. Its truly heartbreaking seeing you exhausted like this. How about you ask for a king size bed from Master Lin so you can sleep a bit better?' asked the system shamelessly sucking up to Wen Qinxi.

Wen Qinxi massaged his temple frustrated to the core. Being called boss by Jolie made his scalp numb with goosebumps forming all over his body.

'Joile will you stop calling me boss, save that for Qie Ranzhe. And a king size bed means Qie Ranzhe would never leave, he would permanently move in,' replied Wen Qinxi before detailing his plan, 'I was thinking of an easy way to make money in a short pace of time and that is street theater,' now speaking with passion like a motivational speaker.

Here is the thing about Wen Qinxi, he belonged to the drama club in school and once aspired to be an actor and not just any actor but a performer on a theatrical stage, Broadway and all. Please refrain from mocking him as we all had odd dreams when we were growing up.

Jolie tried to restrain itself but couldn't help letting out a stifled laugh. 'Pfft.....you a theatrical actor," said Jolie ready to take a dump on his idea but soon stopped when it recalled it needed Wen Qinxi's help, 'Yea, sure thats an awesome idea boss.'

'You think its a joke? You are looking at a three time bronze medalists for best performer in middle school,' bragged Wen Qinxi as though trying to convince the system but when he says three time bronze medalists it was because they were only three kids participating. Unfortunately the programmer overestimated his acting skills.

'Okay, l see. So you are going to come up with a script?' asked Jolie still fighting off the urge to laugh.

Wen Qinxi gave off a 'why the fuck would l do that' expression before saying, 'Why would l waste my time when l can adopt stories like little red riding hood or Romeo and Juliet? Clever right?' asked Wen Qinxi as he left to go take a bath.

For sure, Wen Qinxi planned for his street performance right after surviving Master Lin's gruesome punishment which was manuring an entire field by himself.

With him as the lead actor and his brother as the second lead, the two took on the streets to make some money initiating operation 'get Qie Ranzhe off his bed'.
