Chapter 18 Fang Yi'ai

Choi Shin-ki shuddered.

Whenever someone gives you that look, nothing good is ever going to happen.

really……

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.

"What do you mean eating glass? This is called a lollipop, don't you understand?" Wei Shuyu scolded, exasperated.

"What's a lollipop?" Choi Shin-ki asked, bewildered.

"This..." Wei Shuyu really didn't know how to answer: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

As he spoke, Wei Shuyu licked his lips again.

Teenagers always have a strong sense of curiosity.

The more Wei Shuyu said this, the more curious Cui Shenji became.

Especially when he saw Wei Shuyu licking it, he felt even more itchy and restless.

"Hey bro, can I have one too?" Choi Sin-ki asked eagerly.

“That’s all…” Wei Shuyu reached into his pocket.

“The one you have is fine too, I don’t mind if it’s dirty,” Choi Shin-ki replied eagerly.

"..."

You don't mind me, but I do mind you!

"Eating lollipops will cause cavities, and the pain will keep you awake at night."

Wei Shuyu then solemnly listed a whole host of possibilities, such as excessive sugar intake leading to weight gain, affecting oral health, and causing stomach discomfort.

"Oh." Choi Shin-ki nodded. "Then why are you still eating, hyung?"

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head again.

"Can you compare to me?"

"Why can't we compare?"

"I can take on ninety-nine of you by myself."

"Does that have anything to do with you eating lollipops?"

"I am in good health."

"I don't have any problems..."

"I... I won't eat it, okay!"

Wei Shuyu threw away the lollipop.

However, he underestimated the curiosity of a young boy.

Choi Shin-ki immediately picked up the lollipop, brushed off the dust, and started licking it...

“…” Wei Shuyu was dumbfounded.

You are the eldest son of the Cui family, how can you be so shameless?

I can forget about wanting a lollipop.

And then it picked it up from the ground and licked it?

You're utterly trampling on the dignity of your Cui family!

Swish...

Choi Shin-ki's eyes lit up.

Such a good thing was thrown away and you didn't even give it to me, what a bad person...

"Can we throw away the lollipop?" Wei Shuyu sighed.

"What I picked up is mine."

Choi Shin-ki stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, puffing out his cheeks.

Okay.

Wei Shuyu shook his head. "It's just one, it won't have much of an impact."

As we got closer to the Imperial College, we could see students, each accompanied by a page or servant.

"Big brother, Shenji..."

Choi Shin-ki's crony Wang Hyu immediately came to greet them upon seeing them.

Yesterday's "battle" at Wanhua Pavilion has spread throughout Chang'an, and among the younger generation, Wei Shuyu is already an idol.

*Smack*

Choi Shin-ki went up and smacked him on the head.

Don't ask, the answer is that he's addicted to slapping his head...

Wei Shuyu didn't dare to smoke, but he felt no guilt about smoking other people's cigarettes.

"Godbase, what are you doing?" the man glared angrily.

"Pay protection money."

"What the heck?"

Didn't you understand "pay protection money"?

"How much...?"

Between words, he secretly glanced at Wei Shuyu.

"Hand over all the money you have on you!" Choi Shin-ki urged.

"..."

As Choi Shin-ki's close friends, all of whom came from wealthy families, Wang Xiu readily gave them the money.

Choi Shin-ki weighed the copper coin in his hand: "Alright, go and see your older brother."

"Didn't I already give them a heads-up?"

Wang Xiu felt a bit confused.

“Once you pay the protection fee, you’re one of us. With Big Brother protecting us, we can do whatever we want in Chang’an,” Cui Shenji said solemnly.

I think you've been watching too much of the "Legend of the Bully" series.

However, since Choi Shin-ki had spoken, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Just a few days ago, Choi Shin-ki was their leader.

"Brother," Wang Xiu said, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Little Jiji, how could you steal people's money?" Wei Shuyu ignored him and instead sternly reprimanded Cui Shenji.

"ah?"

Choi Shin-ki stared in disbelief: "Isn't this your tradition, brother?"

"When did I start having this tradition?" Wei Shuyu asked with a dark face.

"You just charged me protection money." Choi Shin-ki was quite aggrieved.

"It's my business if I collect protection money."

"If you collect protection money from others, that's extortion!"

Choi Shin-ki was completely stunned.

What does it mean to say that "only officials are allowed to set fires, while ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps"?

Wei Shuyu's behavior was exactly that!

You can collect protection money, but if I do, it's extortion?

How can you be so domineering?

"Brother, can't we be reasonable?" Choi Shin-ki was on the verge of tears.

"Alright, let's talk this out."

Wei Shuyu nodded: "If you collect money this way, how much can you collect in a day, even if it's only ten or twenty coins per person?"

Choi Shin-ki counted on his fingers for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

"What do you mean, brother?" Choi Shin-ki asked in a low voice.

"To put it simply, even if you recruited every student from the Imperial Academy, it still wouldn't be enough for you to have a good time at the Myriad Flowers Pavilion," Wei Shuyu explained.

"I understand!" Choi Shin-ki slapped his thigh.

"What do you understand?"

"I didn't collect enough. From now on, everyone must pay at least one string of cash per day as protection money!"

Clap clap clap.

Wei Shuyu raised his hand and unleashed a triple strike!

"What do you know?" Wei Shuyu cursed fiercely. "What I mean is that protection money is not profitable, so don't do this kind of thing again!"

"Then why did you charge me protection money?" Choi Shin-ki covered his head, feeling even more aggrieved.

"..."

Wei Shuyu was heartbroken. How could he have been so blind as to take Cui Shenji as his underling?

With this guy's IQ, I hope he won't mess with me later.

"I've already given you ten thousand strings of cash, why would I need to steal a few coins from you?"

Wei Shuyu poked Cui Shenji's head hard: "My father is Wei Zheng. My family is poor. I don't have a single penny when I go out. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Choi Shin-ki shook his head.

Damn it.

This person's IQ is hopeless.

"If I don't take it from you, do you expect me to beg and plead for it?" Wei Shuyu cursed angrily.

Now Choi Shin-ki finally understood.

Wei Shuyu was the eldest brother.

How could I possibly have the nerve to ask him for money?

"If you need money, just say so. Why beat around the bush like this?" Choi Shin-ki muttered aggrievedly.

Am I beating around the bush?

Is there a more direct way than robbing someone?

It's your own twisted and convoluted thinking that's causing this problem. You can't figure it out, so you're blaming me?

Bang.

A few breaths later, Choi Shin-ki lay on the ground, convulsing.

All that remained was Wei Shuyu's dashing silhouette.

"stop!"

Just as Wei Shuyu arrived at the entrance of the Imperial College, a figure of similar age stopped him.

The boy was dressed quite flamboyantly. While the other students wore white robes, he wore a red and green long robe, his chin held high as if everyone owed him hundreds of coins.

Such an eccentric naturally had a great reputation at the Imperial Academy.

Even in later generations, this person's reputation is still very high!

Fang Yi'ai!

Among the top ten most famous cuckolds in history, he deserves a place!
