The yandere playboy's introduction to being a scumbag (2)

Long story short, Gu Jing did a handsome bicycle to school. When he arrived at the gate of the school, his athletic figure attracted the eyes of many onlookers. The bicycle wheel screeched warningly as he pulled up to the front gate. He knocked down the lever which was made to balance the bicycle with his foot in a fluid movement and hopped off the backseat.

Wiping the sweat along his sharp and prominent jawline, Gu Jing slicked back his tangled strands over his forehead, unveiling an unblemished and white forehead. He had an aura exuding from him that screamed 'troublemaker' in all directions and every way possible. It was undeniable that this was Gu Jing, the local tyrant of this high-school.

"Ah, so this is what it's like to be rich and good-looking!" Gu Jing exclaimed inwardly. But on his face smothered a disinterested expression that warded off students who were originally drawn to him like fireflies to a bonfire. His presence was so fiery and hot that it burned his suitors off.

The corners of his lips were pulled up into a narcissistic smirk as if he himself knew what his appearance could do to numerous people. And, well, he had every right to be self-absorbed.

Gu Jing slung a drooping bag over his wide shoulder, shoving a sweaty hand into his pocket as he strode towards the entrance of the school brimming with confidence. However as unapproachable as he seemed to other people, he was chatting with his system in his head.

"System, system! Where is our beautiful little shou? I just can't wait to see him~ my body is practically shivering from my wild imagination."

The system dared not interrupt his host's outlandish thought process, but he felt the need to point out, "According to the script, you'll be seeing you soon enough. Here, the script says: As soon as Gu Jing enters the hallways, he sees a tall, beautiful baby-faced youth. Although the other's back is turned on him, Gu Jing can imagine the student's otherworldly beauty. He wondered why he has never seen him before, but now he has uncovered a buried treasure."

"...how can Gu Jing know that he's baby-faced if the other turned his back on him!? And how the hell did someone's back intrigue him? I could just look at a random passenger's back and fall in love with them!" Gu Jing was taken aback by the poor writing. It appeared as though a thirteen-year-old middle-schooler had written a BL novel! But, it would be too rude to lump all thirteen-year-old girls together into a ball labeled bad writing. For all he knew, most of the popular BL stories were written by thirteen-year-old girls! They were more famous than he, a grown man.

Gu Jing shivered. He felt as though his future were very bleak.

The system was offended by Gu Jing on behalf of the writers who wrote for these worlds. It snapped back robotically, "Mr. Lu, I'll have you know that the writers take pride in their work. They examined the writing of numerous BL books and wrote their own based on their observations! Are you cussing out all the people who wrote these BL stories in your world? If you were on the internet, you'd be bashed!"

"Tch," was Gu Jing's reply.

The system simply exploded. It couldn't deal with its host's temper! It requested a refund! It requested for another host QwQ QwQ.

"Whatever. I'll be meeting my beautiful shou the moment I enter the building. Consider yourself lucky because your sister-in-law saved your mechanic ass!"

Where there was a indifferent look on Gu Jing's pale face was now replaced with an apparent look of irritation. No one knew what could have annoyed the good-looking, mixed student, but it seemed to have been caused by his inner ordeals. Needless to say, more and more students, coupled with a few teachers stopped mid-track just to admire the tall student. Even if they saw Gu Jing every morning, they would still fall into a daze while looking at him. This was the power of the scum-gong!

Like Jesus parting the Red Sea, the moment Gu Jing set foot into the building, all the students parted and made way for him. It appeared as though he were used to this commotion as his expression did not falter once. Suddenly, the piercing pale aquatic eyes which previously held a look of boredom laid eyes on a certain black-head.

Judging from the black-head's slim back, he was tall and elegant with exceptional proportions. He wasn't skinny to the point he looked like a starved camel, but he wasn't muscular to the extent that it chased people away. There was just the right amount of muscles and fat distributed across his body that it made one salivate whilst looking at him.

Inside his head, Gu Jing was jealous of the student's proportions, but he quickly got into character.

A small smile tugged at the beautiful thin lips that were a shade of pink cotton candy, pale and pretty. The carefree stature of the blond student tightened immediately like a hawk peering down upon a prey. Each steps he took towards his designated prey was calculated and soundless. He swiftly crossed the floor under the staring eyes of curious students.

Gu Jing tapped the tall student's shoulder lightly, gently notifying the student who was immersed in his conversation with an equally as tall and good-looking student, but Gu Jing didn't pay the extra any attention. His eyes laid solely on one person, and when that person turned, his soft black bangs that rested over his eyebrows shifted, revealing a set of soft and curved brows that instilled good-will in others.

Gu Jing's heart throbbed consecutively. Who on earth was this person, and why did he only notice them now? He hadn't realized that he fell into a trance before a soft-spoken voice pulled him back down to earth.

"Yes?" The lilt sounded ambiguous, and the soft tone and gentle rise of the fluid voice was like a lullaby from a siren, constantly pulling one into a trance-like state that it made you question, is this a dream or reality?

Cerulean irises expanded to the width of the pupils.

Gu Jing gave a penetrating once-over over the beautiful student's body, before an intelligent smile rivaling the beams of the sun coated the blond student's three-dimensional face in a warm light, giving an illusion of fake generosity.

Gu Jing leaned in, grasping the tip of the slightly shorter student's smooth chin between two slender fingers, especially attractive looking against the porcelain kith skin. In a deep, magnetic voice, Gu Jing recited his lines in a profound way, "I knew it. The moment I laid my eyes on your back, I knew you would be attractive. But, I certainly hadn't expected this kind of beauty. Student, you've exceeded my expectations."

A light pink tainted the baby-face youth. His knees felt like jelly under the intense halo emitting from Gu Jing. It was as though the blond student was drowsed in a golden light, like a god-sent messenger descending from the heavens. He was so caught off-guard by the mixed student's looks that he stammered over his words.

"I- you, uh, who?"

Gu Jing pinched the youth's chin, lowering his voice to a volume that only he and the student could hear between themselves.

"I'm Gu Jing. I'm a bit surprised you don't know me," he raised a seductive eyebrow. Gu Jing's thumb dug deeper into the soft chin of the chin. His eyes were dark as they moved down to the youth's pink and plump lips. He said hoarsely, "That's alright. You can be the exception. The one and only exception I'm willing to allow."

Out of the blue, a fist shot out from the corners of Gu Jing's eyes, and though the blond knew that he could have evaded them, for the sake of the plot, Gu Jing kindly allowed his collar to be grabbed by a brown-haired student. This was the main gong, and the ending suitor for the shou, which was by he was better than Gu Jing in every department, be it the one in his pants, his height, his aura, his studies, his personality and his appearance.

Though a little discouraged by the blatant favoritism, Gu Jing silently withdrew his grievances and store them away in the deepest, darkest crevice of his heart.

Lai Wenxing was the name of the audacious student. If Gu Jing was considered attractive, then Lai Wenxing made god want to worship him instead. His turquoise-green eyes reminded Gu Jing of pools of murky lake water with a depth that couldn't be noticed unless you stared straight into them. Beneath the surface of seemingly calm water awaited a beast that could drag you to hell and back.

Gu Jing put on a show of disinterest and indifference when he peered down at the two tanned hands, bulging with veins from suppressed anger, grab at his shirt which had three top buttons unbuttoned to release the sight of sharp and deep collarbones. Deep down inside, Gu Jing was panicking. He had never been one to fight and was practically the advocate of peace back in his original world. For a ferocious, seemingly gentle but beast-like man who looked on the verge of swinging at him, Gu Jing nearly pissed his pants.

"Not my face!" Gu Jing wailed inside, "That's the only thing I got going for me that can attract the little shou!"

Gu Jing was 100 percent right. With such a trashy personality, how on earth could anyone fall for him except for when he was a handsome senior?

"Now, now," Gu Jing bared his teeth at Lai Wenxing as if deliberately teasing him. He looked especially mischievous and handsome, and if it were any other people in Lai Wenxing's face, they would have blushed from the psychological attack, "No need to be so rude and grabbing collars. You're just embarrassing yourself...you know? Even your little boyfriend thinks that you're crossing the line."

Gu Jing gestured towards Kuanlin, who seemed a little too concerned for Gu Jing's well-being rather than his own friend.

"If you have a grudge with me, just bury the hatchet with me, don't go harassing my friend! " Gu Jing felt Lai Wenxing's hand tremble from the amount of force that was being repressed beneath the farce of human skin. Lai Wenxing gritted his teeth, pressing his lips into an irritated straight line.

Gu Jing felt as though Lai Wenxing were insane. That was his honest thought, but not the original Gu Jing's. His lips twitched annoyedly, but he delivered his lines perfunctorily.

"Aren't we all friends here, Wenxing? You and I, him and I, him, you and I. You're being too cruel by separating your little friend and I. Why? Are you anxious..." Gu Jing deliberately lowered his voice, "..anxious that I might take him away?"

"You are a playboy with no conscience," Lai Wenxing laughed coldly, "You devour both men and women with no special preferences. I'd rather go to hell than trust you with Kuanlin."

Wenxing's hot breath fanned against Gu Jing's face incessantly, blowing over his features like a thin sheen of warm gas. Gu Jing never knew his nose would have been such a sensitive area, but with the warm air hitting his nose, he felt a foreboding itch buried at the top of his nostrils. He scrunched his nose, tears forming at the corners of his eyes from the unbearable urge to sneeze in the student's face.

However, from Lai Wenxing's point of view, it seemed as though Gu Jing had been deeply affected by his harsh words. The crystalline tears were like small buds of raindrops that clung to the former's long, black eyelashes like a teardrop on a butterfly's wings. Unexpectedly, he found himself weakening against this version of Gu Jing. At a loss for words, he suddenly released Gu Jing's shirt.

Gu Jing immediately hopped back like a startled hyena, his tearful aqua eyes with a glaze over them. He was obviously tall, handsome and exuded a tough aura, but when he stared at someone with his incandescent diamond-like irises, it simply melted anyone's mental barrier, even the most stone-hearted person. Even if the impulse to sneeze was profuse, Gu Jing conveyed his lines without fail, only that his nose which had been itching so much made his voice sound wobbly and nasal, like an upset housewife.

"So, his name is Kuanlin, huh?" Gu Jing's lips trembled, appearing especially pitiful. It made him seem as though he were jealous of Kuanlin who was the main wife. He glanced fleetingly at Kuanlin, whose round, beady, black eyes were so full of concern that he could drown in them.

He flashed a billion-dollar smile at the protagonist shou, consciously making his voice sound more alluring, "I won't forget it!"

What was meant to be a cool, macho line delivered by a scummy yet undeniably attractive gong that made one want to lick them all over, now just seemed like the injustice of a jealous concubine seeking for the perfect chance to get back at the main wife.

'Affairs of the court' starring Gu Jing the jealous concubine, Kuanlin the innocent main wife, then Lai Wenxing as the scum husband keeping two women by his side.

Gu Jing: ...hey, that's wrong!

Finally, as soon as he was away from the staring eyes, in a little, dim-lit corner, Gu Jing sneezed boisterously, the kind that made one's soul leave one's own body just from the impact of it. And really, Gu Jing felt like his soul had left his body indeed.

The system rang alarm bells in his head, "Host...are you a scum-gong or are you a vicious cannon fodder that's the protagonist shou's rival!? That's -5 points, but considering that you delivered your lines correctly, I'll add some points to cancel out your minus points. And, you get some bonus points for seducing the little shou properly! Alright, you have -1 point!"

"What the hell!? In the end, I still get -1 point?" Gu Jing felt as though the system was being unreasonable, "I can't help that I want to sneeze a lot. What, is sneezing not in line with Gu Jing's character? Are you anti-sneezing!? Come on, don't be so fucking stingy! I've been working my ass off looking pretty. Do you know how exhausting it is to be so good-looking?"

The system: ....

"Fine," its robotic voice was strained. It felt its non-existent heart bleed as it tried to reason with its uncooperative host, "I'll make it 0 points instead...keep on working hard to gain some affectation from your ignorant 'husband.'"

Gu Jing rolled his eyes from the system's blatant sarcasm, but a content smile formed on his beguiling face. He had no idea the trail of chaos he had left behind just because he wanted to sneeze during an important dialogue.
