The Sick Villain Just Want to Live

Meanwhile at the 1st Year Class 1…

The students who secretly surfed the Internet during the clean-up have also seen the news.

“Zhuo Yunan? Is that the Zhuo Yunan I was thinking of? That little flower who became popular last year?”

“Did she come to our county to film a movie? Isn’t Shao Ming’s milk tea shop under investigation and is blocked?”

“Who did you hear that it was blocked? Plus, Shangming milk tea shop is innocent, okay? Zhuo Yunan had clarified it on Weibo.”

“Could it be that Zhuo Yunan posted that Weibo on the purpose to clear the milk tea shop’s name? Who told her to do that? Yangyang, could it be, it’s you?” 

They suddenly looked at Xia Yang.

Xia Yang was also a little dazed by the sudden news.

There has been no news of the person who promised to help him find someone for the past two days. He had already given up hope. He didn’t expect that person to hit the jackpot and invite Zhuo Yunan of all people! 

He was about to answer someone when he suddenly received a message.

[Young Master Yang? Your worry seems a bit unnecessary, isn’t this already dealt with by someone?]

Xia Yang’s face changed slightly.

He replied: [Didn’t you find Zhuo Yunan?]

[You think too highly of me, Zhuo Yunan is not someone who can be hired with money.]

Xia Yang: …

Since it’s not his doing, then who?

Xia Yang’s palms tightened slightly as a guess flashed in his mind.

‘Is it Zhu Tong again? Wait, no… it’s impossible. The Zhu family does not have a business in the entertainment circle. I know very well, especially since they have dealings with Father…’ 

Even though the Zhu family could be regarded as the cream of the crop of A City, their dealings in the entertainment circle was only occasional film investment, they definitely did not have the power to find a celebrity of Zhuo Yunan’s level to help. 

‘But if it wasn’t Zhu Tong, who would it be?’

Both the Zhu family and Zhu Tong himself didn’t know much about the entertainment industry. However, what Xia Yang didn’t know was Zhu Tong’s mother’s connection – which was normal, as the former Mrs. Zhu had long passed away, and Zhu Tong’s maternal grandfather rarely interacted with Zhu Shoushan, and they were forbidden to mention their connection to each other. 

Naturally, nobody knew of this connection, much less Zhu Tong’s connection to Cheng Chen, the owner of a big entertainment agency. 

It was Cheng Chen’s doing that made it possible to overturn the netizen’s opinion in an instant. 

Simultaneously with Zhuo Yunan’s Weibo, the results of the police investigation on Xiao Mi were also released. A complete chain of evidence showed that Xiao Mi’s drug test result was positive because of her own drug use, and she didn’t get it because of drinking that milk tea in Gongshui County.

[This is fucking hilarious! She insinuated that to buy a cup of milk tea, an assistant has to go across the city to buy it? How can Xiao Mi tell such a stupid lie?]

[Oh, so she broke the law, and had to find an excuse not to be jailed? It just so happened that Shangming milk tea shop was maliciously reported some time ago, so this drug-addled girl took the chance?]

[So you mean that… that milk tea shop has been maliciously reported twice?]

[I heard that the person who made the malicious report is still a student, and has been prosecuted and sent to the police station.]

[This small milk tea shop has endured too much. ]

[Fortunately, I have been to the same milk tea shop as Yunan, here is a picture to prove it!]

[Damn it! Who is the handsome guy in this picture? Is this cool guy real?]

[The fuck do they need using opioid with that face as the cashier? His beauty value is enough to attract customers, okay! I have to visit this milk tea shop to meet this xiao gege!] 

[I also want to check in places where my Goddess has been! Where is this? Asking for an address, waiting online!]

The discussion on the Internet was in full swing, but Zhu Tong was miserable at the moment!

He didn’t expect his cousin to make such a flashy move! 

After cleaning the podium and sitting back on his seat, he couldn’t wait to send a message to his cousin.

<Zhu>: I asked you to find evidence to clarify, I didn’t ask you to hire a star!

<Young Master Cheng’s Love of Crime 2>: You don’t understand this industry, dearest cousin of mine. This is called culling the grass and the roots! If you want to destroy the person behind the scene, you must show off your strength, press their face to the ground and grind it down! What’s the use of collecting evidence of a small-time model’s drug use?

Zhu Tong: …

Cheng Chen made it sound reasonable, somehow. 

<Zhu>: But you can invite an artist with less influence.

–At least not someone like Zhuo Yunan who has fans of all ages!

<Young Master Cheng’s Love of Crime 2>: That’s no good. How else can I prove my strength to my dearest cousin? 

Zhu Tong finally understood. His cousin was simply a peacock! Asking him for help is just inviting even bigger trouble on the horizon! 

Seeing Zhuo Yunan’s fans gathered around his seat, Zhu Tong could only repeated his earlier words. “I really don’t know Zhuo Yunan. The matter of her Weibo post has nothing to do with me.”

Rounding it up, he was innocent.

As for his relation to his cousin… that would never be admitted! Absolutely could not be admitted! 

Otherwise, Zhuo Yunan’s fans in the whole school would flood him with tears of anticipation! He didn’t turn into a signature delivery machine!

A girl was disappointed and asked, “It’s really not you?”

Zhu Tong nodded. “It’s really not me.”     

“Who could it be?” Another girl wondered, “Could it be Xia Yang?”

Zhu Tong immediately denied it, “It’s not him!” 

Even if he couldn’t admit it, he couldn’t let Xia Yang take credit for it!

The girls were startled, and then came up together and said, “How do you know it’s not him? Could it be…”

Zhu Tong hurriedly said, “It’s not me.”

“Then how do you know it’s not Xia Yang? Do you know who it is?”

Zhu Tong’s face darkened. “I don’t know”

“Then…”

“Are you finished?” A voice next to the girl interrupted their endless tirade, “Can you return my deskmate to me when you’re done?”

The girls: “…”

As Zhu Tong turned his back to face Shao Ming, a hand suddenly went around his back and lightly rested on his shoulder.

Shao Ming looked at the girls and said with a playful smile, “You star-chasing girls are so irreverent, how can you always think of taking shortcuts? Remember, for star-chasing, it’s better to fight it by yourself, am I right?” 

Many of them wanted Zhuo Yunan’s autograph for prestige – to show off to their peers. Zhu Tong was not under any obligation to satisfy their vanity. Although Shao Ming was smiling, he indirectly unveiled the girls’ motivation.

The girls were a little embarrassed, and seeing the helpless look on Zhu Tong’s face, they also felt somewhat apologetic. They then said sorry to Zhu Tong, and left shortly after.

Zhu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the girls who left, and then at Shao Ming who came to help him out.

While rejoicing that Shao Ming didn’t “stop touching him”, he also felt guilty at the taller youth. Seeing how many people were crowding them just now… the milk tea shop was about to be absolutely flooded with Zhuo Yunan’s fans. 

He looked at Shao Ming and said, “I’m sorry.”

Shao Ming replied automatically, “It’s okay.”

Zhu Tong: “…”

“You don’t even know why I apologize.”

Shao Ming: “It doesn’t matter what it is.”

Zhu Tong didn’t know how to answer that. He thought, ‘Did he know something?’ 

Before he could confirm it, the monitor’s seat in front of him was occupied by someone.

Luo Suo looked like he just barely survived a catastrophe. He let out a big exhale, looked at the front of the classroom and said, “Those star-chasing girls are finally gone! Geez, they’re so scary… as for the boys, we should keep a low profile now!” 

Zhu Tong stared at him, “You are… also Zhuo Yunan’s fan?” 

Seeing his vigilance, Luo Suo smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t ask you for an autograph, I’m a Buddha1!” ​​

“…”

Shao Ming looked at him and said, “Then why are you here? “

Luo Suo: “???”

Can’t he come if he doesn’t do anything? Can’t he chat with someone to share his thoughts or something??

Aren’t they brothers??? 

Facing the sight of Shao Ming, who was clearly about to evict him, Luo Suo straightened his face and cut straight to the point, “The newly built canteen behind the 3rd Year section will open today. I heard that the food there is very tasty. Let’s try them later?” 

Zhu Tong smiled, but slightly startled. He thought, ‘A new canteen?’ 

Since he entered school, he has not eaten in the school canteen.

Shao Ming said directly to Luo Suo, “You can go. Zhu Tong and I will eat outside.” 

“Let’s not?” Luo Suo tried to reason, “Isn’t it much more interesting to eat with many people? Let’s try that new canteen together!” 

Shao Ming: “I’m not used to eating in canteens.” 

“Nonsense,” Luo Suo said with contempt on his face, “In the first year of high school, you rushed to the canteen faster than anyone else. When…”

He paused and looked at Zhu Tong.

It seems that since Zhu Tong transferred, they haven’t been to the canteen much.

Zhu Tong obviously noticed something too. He glanced at Shao Ming, then looked at Luo Suo to clarify something, “New canteen?”

Luo Suo subconsciously nodded, “Yeah.”

Zhu Tong: “Mn. Let’s try it.” 

Shao Ming: “…”

meaning he’s peace-seeking/passive.
