Chapter 4 Why Pretend to Be Pure Love in a Scumbag Novel?
Holding the latest version of her phone, Ziyu walked back to her dormitory in a daze.
Qin Yuzhen told him not to go to the company today and to rest well, saying that he would take care of the company's affairs. He couldn't refuse Qin Yuzhen, so he could only go to his dormitory.
Whether it was just needless worry or not, Ziyu had a feeling that this mission might not be as easy as he had imagined.
Qinyu Town has become very strange.
Ziyu walked on the cobblestone path at school. The weather in April and May was not hot, and a cool breeze gently blew through his hair. Ziyu felt a rare sense of peace.
He was actually given a holiday by Qinyu Town.
Not really wanting to go back to the dorm, Ziyu casually found a stone chair and sat down.
Before I could even clear my mind and daydream for a moment, my new phone rang.
The name on the screen is: [Auntie]
Ziyu was in a daze again. In the previous playthrough, after confirming his relationship with Qin Yuzhen, he had been very busy. After graduating from university, he gave all the 300,000 yuan he earned to his aunt as a way of repaying her for raising him, and then he never contacted her again. Now, seeing these two words, he truly had the concept of a second playthrough.
After the call connected, a hoarse female voice came through.
"Yu Yu, how's the part-time job you told me about going?"
Ziyu didn't say anything, but almost instantly he knew what his aunt had come for.
money.
In real life, he was desperately short of money, and he was equally desperately short of money when he came to the game world to do quests.
"Auntie knows she's sorry. Going to university is already difficult enough, and she can't even afford your living expenses, yet she still has to ask you for money." Auntie's voice was terribly hoarse, probably from crying. "Your uncle's investments have failed again, and your younger brother is still in his final year of junior high, about to take the high school entrance exam, and the tutoring center is pressing for payment..."
"Then don't read it."
Ziyu interrupted his aunt's complaints, lowered his eyes, and spoke in a flat tone. This was just his personality. When it didn't cost money, he was a great person and would do anything. But when money was involved, he would get angry.
“His grades aren’t good, so tutoring won’t help.” Ziyu’s cousin is also spoiled by his uncle. He doesn’t care about studying and just wants to go out and hang out with gangsters. “Your uncle’s investments have never been successful. If you really care about your cousin, don’t give your uncle money.”
The aunt, who was originally a successful woman, fell in love with an unreliable man. In the end, the family relied entirely on her to earn money.
The protagonist's parents died unexpectedly while he was on a business trip when he was five years old. His unmarried aunt adopted him despite her advice. At first, they lived a good life, but after he got married and had children, his uncle disliked him, and his brother's children were gradually excluded.
"How could you say that, child?" Aunt was not happy. "Boys have more potential. Your brother will definitely improve after high school. You are so smart, he will definitely be just as good."
"Uncle's an idiot," Ziyu thought to himself. "Everything he does fails, and he's always all talk and no action. Isn't he stupid?"
“I know you resent us for not giving you a single good day, and for not having much living expenses in college. But you also have to consider your aunt’s situation. At least I didn’t owe you any tuition fees, did I? If you make money, we don’t need more than half. You can’t let your younger brother go without a school, can you?”
Ziyu closed his eyes, somewhat weary.
That's why he was so stingy in his past life, yet he was still willing to give them 300,000 yuan to get rid of them.
"I see."
"Yuyu, don't blame me. I'm just too tired. Just consider it as repaying your aunt for raising you all by herself, okay?" Aunt sighed. "Once your brother gets into university, I'll be free, and you'll be free too. I won't bother you anymore then."
Then her aunt said a series of things, the gist of which was that her life was hard, difficult, and tiring, and that Ziyu should try to understand her more.
In the previous playthrough, Ziyu felt a sense of powerlessness every time she called her aunt.
Aunt didn't do anything wrong. She was genuinely kind to the submissive one. She knew that her uncle was a burden to her, but she was too sentimental, couldn't bear to let go, and couldn't persuade him. In the end, she gradually ended up in the situation she is in now.
It's no wonder that the submissive character would be willing to selflessly give to the scumbag seme if he showed even a little kindness.
The submissive character is actually quite similar to his aunt; both are sentimental and prone to being submissive.
"Yuyu, remember to send the money over." Auntie said finally, pleadingly, "If your uncle doesn't get the money, he'll beat you up."
"...How much do you want?"
"Fifty thousand will do, Yu Yu, just consider it as saving your aunt."
Fifty thousand? You make it sound so easy.
Ziyu frowned. In the previous playthrough, the scumbag's uncle found out that the scumbag was with the scumbag, and even went to find him and made a fuss about money, which caused him a lot of trouble.
Others spread rumors that Ziyu only served the scumbag gong for money—although in another sense it was the truth—but the submissive shou wasn't doing it for money.
However, when these words reached Qin Yuzhen's ears, Qin Yuzhen was inexplicably angry for a long time, and Ziyu was even unwilling to recall what happened in the room those few nights.
Can we please stop with these melodramatic storylines in these old-fashioned literary games?
Ziyu simply told his aunt to wait a little longer, and that he would transfer the money when he had it.
After hanging up the phone, Ziyu stared at her phone in a daze for a long time.
Thinking about what had happened before, Ziyu had an idea.
He easily opened WeChat, clicked on the pinned post, and sent a message.
[Ziyu: Yuzhen, I might need 50,000 yuan...]
—So I'll be working overtime for a while and won't be able to come and be with you every day.
Before the rest of the message could be sent, Qin Yuzhen directly transferred 50,000 yuan.
[Qinyu Town: Is it still needed?]
Ziyu opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Another notification for the transfer from Qinyu Town arrived, with several additional zeros added to the bank card details.
One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, million...?
Qin Yuzhen had broken ties with his family, so where did he get so much money? And why was all of it given to him? Didn't he only ask for 50,000?!
[Qinyu Town: If you still need it, just let me know.]
ha? ! ! !
Ziyu was completely dazed.
[Ziyu: You...didn't you break up with your family? Where did you get so much money?]
[Ziyu: You didn't go and borrow money, did you?]
[Ziyu: I don't need that much money! Take it back!]
Qin Yuzhen, who was talking to a client about a new project, heard his phone ringing and apologized to the client helplessly.
The client had a kind face and said with a smile, "No need, no need. This project isn't urgent. Mr. Qin, please reply to the message first."
People his age are mostly shrewd. Although he had heard that the Qin family's only son had broken ties with his family because of coming out, he knew with a little thought that the Qin family would never abandon the son they had raised for more than 20 years because of this. Moreover, the entertainment company that Qin Yuzhen had set up was quite successful.
Qin Yuzhen will return to the Qin family sooner or later, so being able to cooperate with him now is an immense benefit.
However, he was quite curious.
The customer's small eyes secretly glanced at Qin Yuzhen, who was browsing through messages, his expression full of tenderness.
Who exactly is this amazing man who managed to surpass Xia Xiaoqiao and take over Qinyu Town? And it seems like he wasn't just faking it.
Qin Yuzhen: It's alright, this is all money I saved myself.
[Ziyu: Even if it's all the money you've saved, you can't give it all to me. Your company still needs these funds!]
[Qinyu Town: What's the difference between keeping my money with you and keeping it with me?]
Upon seeing the reply, Ziyu paused in typing, and the next message from Qinyu Town arrived.
[Qinyu Town: Let me know if you need more money.]
Qin Yuzhen didn't even ask him what he needed the money for.
Ziyu was completely dazed.
[Helpful friend, will the main NPCs' character designs change after your second playthrough?]
[This is the system assistant. Reporting to the host, each character in our game has a fixed personality profile that won't be easily changed.]
How do you explain Qinyu Town's current actions?
He stopped sending gifts to his beloved, giving all the good stuff to the submissive one and even handing over all his money.
He's the perfect boyfriend!
But isn't this the script of a game where the seme is a scumbag and the uke is a submissive? What kind of pure love is this?
I have absolutely no idea what this NPC in Qinyu Town is thinking.
Ziyu took out 50,000 yuan and reluctantly sent it to his aunt. After receiving a tearful thank you from his aunt, he sighed helplessly.
He only hoped that he could better resolve the issues with the submissive family in this playthrough, making it easier to complete the game.
After resolving all of this, Ziyu returned to her dormitory, exhausted.
As Ziyu pushed open the dormitory door, she met the dormitory head's eyes, who was about to take a shower.
Why are you back so early?
"I didn't have anything to do, so I came back to rest for a bit."
The dormitory head nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's better to get more rest and take good care of your health."
After he finished speaking, he took his toiletries and left.
"I think it's not that you have nothing to do, it's that Qinyu Town doesn't need you anymore."
A mocking voice came from inside the dormitory. Ziyu walked into the dormitory and stared at the young man sitting on the floor opposite Ziyu's bed. The young man was good-looking, but he had dark circles under his eyes and a small mole on the corner of his mouth, making him look decadent and eerie.
He was Lin Hai, the gloomy young man who had previously disliked Ziyu intensely.
Lin Hai is said to be the illegitimate son of the Lin family in the capital. Because of his shameful identity, he is usually gloomy and taciturn, aloof and mean, especially towards Ziyu.
Ziyu lifted his eyelids to look at Lin Hai. Compared to his dormitory head and Lao San, with whom he had lost contact after graduation, Lin Hai was the one he had been entangled with the longest.
The reason was simple: Lin Hai had a crush on him.
Who would have thought that some people would express their affection with harsh and hurtful words?
In his past life, no one expected that Lin Hai, a gloomy illegitimate son, would be the final victor of the Lin family. He had a good impression of Zi Yu the first time he met her, but before he could realize that he liked Zi Yu, Zi Yu went to confess to Qin Yuzhen and resolutely became Qin Yuzhen's lapdog.
Lin Hai always harbored this thorn in his heart. Later, when he became General Manager Lin, he deliberately established a trade relationship with Qinyu Town. At a banquet, he even offered a 50% discount to demand Ziyu.
Ziyu still remembers the expression on Qinyu Town's face at that time.
It was an expression that was hard to explain. Qin Yuzhen's handsome, godlike face was cut off by light and shadow, making it difficult to see clearly. Only his tightly pursed lips showed his impatient temperament.
"How about it, Mr. Qin? This is a very worthwhile deal, just for one night." Lin Hai smiled and raised his glass to Qin Yuzhen, but his eyes were fixed on Ziyu standing behind Qin Yuzhen, his gaze as sticky and venomous as a snake's, once you were drawn in, it was hard to let go.
Qin Yuzhen's expression grew increasingly grim as he asked Ziyu if she was willing.
As the submissive character Ziyu, in order to avoid being out of character, naturally said, "I'm fine with anything."
At that time, Qinyu Town was still developing its business, and a 50% discount was a huge windfall. That's how the submissive type is; they're always willing to give everything so that the scumbag seme can live a good life.
So in the end, Qinyu Town agreed.
Even though his face was so dark it looked like ink was dripping from it.
He pushed Ziyu out, letting Ziyu spend the night with Lin Hai.
Although nothing happened between them in the end, the scumbag seme's act of treating the submissive uke like a commodity for trade was a minor climax and a heart-wrenching moment in the story.
Later, Ziyu returned to the company, and Qin Yuzhen humiliated him several more times. Even though the submissive said that nothing had happened between them, the scumbag gong did not believe him.
To be honest, his "submissive" identity makes it quite easy for him to attract a bunch of scumbags who don't even realize it.
Back to the present, Ziyu crossed her arms and looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What do you mean by that?"
Lin Hai sneered: "You don't know? The Qin family has found a marriage partner for Qin Yuzhen, and they're going to have Qin Yuzhen come home to meet his relatives tonight."
"You really think you can get the Qin family to accept a male wife for you? What do you think you are?" Lin Hai mocked. "I heard he stood up for you today, you must be incredibly moved, right? If you ask me, you're just a masochist. You fawn over anyone who gives you a little something."
He gritted his teeth.
"Let me tell you, Qin Yuzhen will definitely listen to his family's arrangements in the end. Someone like you will only be used and discarded!"
