Who is that? The school belle doesn’t seem this tall! The arts committee member isn’t either.

Could it be someone from another school?

Several boys shuddered and immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look any further. How could they dare to gossip about Young Master Gu’s affairs! They hurriedly grabbed their gear, looking as if they wished they could carry a racket in their mouths, and left in a frantic rush.

Gu Jinzhi shut the door again.

Mo Yu was so scared he broke out in a sweat.

They couldn’t drag this out any longer, when those students finished class, they would have to come back to return the equipment.

Mo Yu said, “Take off your clothes.”

“If you really can’t say the flirtatious lines, we’ll just have to rely on the visuals.”

Thinking about it, with President Gu’s personality, even if he could force those words out, it certainly wouldn’t carry that subservient, obsessed feel.

Gu Jinzhi’s expression was extremely conflicted, but thinking about the meetings he had already missed yesterday, he could only grit his teeth and strip off his shirt.

To save time, Mo Yu ran directly over to turn on the camera. When he turned back, he finally caught a look at Gu Jinzhi’s upper body.

This man was not only born handsome with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, but his chest muscles were exceptionally well developed, and even his abs were perfectly symmetrical.

Because of a casual line Mo Yu had made up earlier, when Gu Jinzhi knelt down this time, he also conscientiously placed both hands behind his back. Looking up at him at this moment, his expression felt very much like a general wrongly accused by the emperor about to go to the execution ground. Even while kneeling there, he radiated a formidable sense of oppression.

Uh… it just felt a little too tragic and heroic.

Mo Yu walked up to him, pulled the uniform tie from his collar, and blindfolded Gu Jinzhi’s eyes with it.

Mo Yu didn’t think too much of it. Yet, every muscle on Gu Jinzhi’s body instantly tensed up.

Mo Yu looked down at the tall man before him and instinctively stroked his head. His eyes looked deep and intense, though in reality he was just desperately scrambling through the study materials in his head, striving to capture the right mood for the task.

“Do you want me to you?”

Hearing such a sentence suddenly whispered in his ear, before Gu Jinzhi could say a word, his ears turned red first.

Mo Yu waited a moment, then gave him a suggestive tap.

“Speak.”

The flush spread from Gu Jinzhi’s neck all the way to his earlobes. Finally, he managed to squeeze out a single word.

“Yes.”

“Then beg me.”

“…I beg you.”

Mo Yu tightened his grip on the data cable in his hand and whipped his leg once.

Gu Jinzhi gasped and raised his chin, his muscular contours sharp and defined, his chest heaving dramatically. Yet his hands remained obediently bound behind his back.

Mo Yu felt a bit guilty in his heart, but his eyes were once again drawn to the man’s full chest.

Why is this part trained to be so full, while the waist is so thin…

So… what brand of protein powder is this, really?

It must be really expensive, right?

“Hss!”

Mo Yu was momentarily distracted, unintentionally striking the pink portion of Gu Jinzhi’s chest.

Gu Jinzhi was clearly in severe pain, leaving a thin red mark across his chest, resembling a tiny red snake.

Mo Yu almost blurted out an apology before realizing they were already recording. He could only hurriedly press his leg against Gu Jinzhi, who was trying to bend over, and continuously stroked his head.

“Ahem, do you like it?”

Gu Jinzhi kept his head down, leaning against his leg, his entire face flushed red from his ears to his chest. The blue veins on his arms bulged outward. He remained silent for a long time.

It definitely hurt, but it wasn’t unbearably painful.

At the thought that Mo Yu was gazing at him, holding his head, and might have just seen his expression, amidst this pain there seemed to be something else…

It caused Gu Jinzhi’s face and chest to burn with heat, and he subconsciously wanted to answer… I like it. He just wanted to keep leaning on Mo Yu like this forever.

Just then, a thud came from outside, followed by the flurried, rustling sound of leaves being trampled underfoot.

Is someone there?

Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. Just as he thought things were going south, a light mist quickly enveloped his vision.

【Mission Failed.】

【Ding, the mission has been reset. It will initiate again in 12 hours.】

【Plane Plot Progress: 0/100%】

【Partner Contamination Level: 20%/100%】

The next morning, inside the school equipment room, two people were lying end to end on a large, army green mat, fast asleep.

When Mo Yu opened his eyes, he only caught Gu Jinzhi looking at him with a complex expression, though the moment Gu Jinzhi saw him wake up, he turned his back to him.

“It was probably because someone saw us.”

His earlobes were still entirely red, and his breathing was noticeably heavy as he buttoned his shirt.

“I need to leave first. We’ll talk later.”

President Gu never turned back to look at him; having spoken, he stood up and pushed the door open.

Mo Yu hung his head.

It was over. He hadn’t controlled his force properly, and the mission failed on top of that.

President Gu was definitely mad at him!

Although it was all for the mission, if someone else had whipped him like that… he would be even angrier.

Mo Yu cowardishly waited a while, estimating that President Gu’s car had already driven off, before leaving the school and hailing a taxi to the company.

President Gu was actually late today.

Xiao Di was somewhat surprised.

The driver mentioned that in the morning, he had first returned home from an “unnamed location” before coming over here.

I mean, what do you mean by an unnamed location! And why did you have to go home first, savor that detail.

Today’s meeting required contacting overseas departments to discuss game localization, so it was scheduled unusually early.

Yet even so, this was the first time President Gu had ever been late to an important meeting.

When Gu Jinzhi arrived, he looked as though he had just taken a shower. He strode in with a stern face. The surrounding atmospheric pressure was somewhat subtle, it didn’t look like anger, but his mood was definitely complicated.

“President Gu.”

“Mm. Let’s begin.” Gu Jinzhi took the meeting agenda and sat down in his chair.

Even with repetitive tasks, he displayed his usual high level of sharpness and focus.

Things at work were clearly going smoothly. However, as soon as the meeting ended, Gu Jinzhi’s expression turned strangely odd, and he called his personal assistant over.

Xiao Di secretly leaned in to gossip and listen.

“I need… very soft shirts.”

“Yes. They must be softer than the current brand.

…Undershirts work too.”

President Gu pursed his lips.

“Mm. Go buy them right now.”

Xiao Di: “?”

He didn’t quite understand and subconsciously leaned closer and closer, until President Gu threw him a look of distaste over his shoulder.

“What are you doing?”

“Nothing, nothing at all!” Xiao Di smiled apologetically and scurried away in a flash.

Gu Jinzhi, however, secretly pressed a hand to his chest, looking like he harbored an unspeakable secret. For some reason, a place he had never paid attention to before had become significantly more sensitive after experiencing that pain.

How strange. Next time, I can’t let Mo Yu do that again…

Later in the evening, Mo Yu, who was slacking off, received another call from the immensely busy Gu Jinzhi.

“President Gu…” Mo Yu called out to him somewhat flatteringly.

“Mm…”

The two fell into a mutual silence for a moment.

Gu Jinzhi seemed to have something he wanted to say but hesitated, before finally speaking first.

“We probably need to change the location.”

Mo Yu nodded, then remembered Gu Jinzhi couldn’t see him.

“Mm, a place where we won’t be discovered?”

“They were fine when they saw you in cross-dress.”

“It was probably because someone sneaked back later and saw us…” Gu Jinzhi pressed a hand to his forehead halfway through his sentence, trailing off vaguely.

“This won’t do.”

Mo Yu: “Mm.”

In this campus story, it didn’t matter if the school tyrant had a mysterious girlfriend, but how he was humiliated and lost face was something that had to be exposed via the video at the very end.

Therefore, it shouldn’t be exposed prematurely.

After all, the location was modified based on his middle school.

Mo Yu thought carefully for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out where in this school could hide the two of them without the risk of being spied on.

The two chatted briefly for a few more lines.

Eight o’clock arrived swiftly.

This time, the moment Mo Yu opened his eyes, a bucket of water splashed over him from head to toe.

Before he could react, he was shoved hard, falling directly into a dirty puddle on the floor.

Sitting on the ground, Mo Yu finally saw a mop lying beside him. This water was actually dirty. His entire school uniform was soaked through.

The school tyrant Gu Jinzhi stood right beside him, slamming the bucket in his hand to the ground near Mo Yu’s feet with a loud clang, looking down at him coldly and detachedly.

The students sitting in the classroom were either keeping their heads down as if it were none of their business, or looking at him gloatingly. Even if a few people showed expressions of sympathy, they bit their lips, not daring to speak up.

Standing nearby, two lackeys were laughing uproariously.

No matter how easygoing Mo Yu’s personality was, his face darkened at this moment.

He stood up from the ground, frowning as he looked at the school tyrant Gu Jinzhi. “You dirtied my clothes.”

“What did he say?”

“So what if they’re dirty?”

The two lackeys arrogantly answered on Gu Jinzhi’s behalf, their spit practically flying onto Mo Yu’s face as they spoke.

“Look at your clothes, they were already dingy to begin with. The mops in our school are cleaner than your cloth, Ouch!”

Mo Yu punched him squarely in the face.

“…Shut up.”

As if he had never expected Mo Yu to fight back, the man clutched his face, completely stunned on the spot. “You, you, you!”

The other lackey beside him finally reacted and charged forward, wanting to beat Mo Yu up.

Mo Yu picked up the mop from the ground and slapped it right across his face with a loud thwack.

“AAAGH?!” That person was apparently used to living comfortably, a single mop hit was enough to make him break down, screaming as he covered his face.

The classmates in the room were all shocked.

It was inside a instance world anyway, so what was Mo Yu afraid of?

“Didn’t you want me to mop the floor? I just thought you guys looked a bit unclean.”

Did they really take him for a weakling?

Gu Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, only at this moment did he finally move.

Mo Yu instantly looked at him guardedly. When Gu Jinzhi grabbed him by the collar, Mo Yu hurriedly pressed down hard on his arm.

“Gu Jinzhi! You! think carefully about who I am…!”

No one else could understand what he was saying.

“Young Master Gu! Let me!”

The lackey who had already been turned into a one eyed panda by Mo Yu was eager for revenge at this moment. Saying that, he tried to snatch the mop from Mo Yu’s hand to hit him just as Mo Yu had hit them.

Mo Yu saw that Gu Jinzhi hadn’t reacted at all, and with the mop being snatched away by the other person, he thought to himself: Oh no.

Seeing the mop about to swing down.

Gu Jinzhi suddenly let go of him, and instead kicked the lackey holding the mop right in the chest, sending him flying to the ground.

The entire hallway fell silent.

Gu Jinzhi now stood in front of Mo Yu, his position subtly resembling a protective stance over him.

The whole class’s eyes widened, and some even had their mouths agape. Even the lackey who had just eaten the mop was dumbfounded, his wailing coming to an abrupt halt.

After a long silence, under everyone’s gaze, Gu Jinzhi finally uttered a sentence.

“You splashed dirty water on me.”

“Ah, sorry… sorry, Young Master Gu.”

Clutching his stomach on the ground, the lackey shuffled backward. Although he felt extremely wronged, he didn’t even dare to stand up, let alone talk back.

“Gu Jinzhi.”

Mo Yu tentatively grabbed him.

“Come with me to return the mop.”

Gu Jinzhi looked at Mo Yu for a moment. When those eyes held no expression, they appeared sharp and stern, and he didn’t answer right away.

Mo Yu felt inexplicably nervous.

Did he remember, or did he not?

The lackey still wasn’t backing down. “Are you f***ing crazy, how could Young Master Gu possibly…”

Gu Jinzhi: “Let’s go.”

“???”

Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he had remembered.

It was probably because he was afraid the mission would fail, so he couldn’t act completely out of character right away.

Pretending he needed to get a change of clothes, Mo Yu picked up his backpack under the dumbfounded gazes of the entire class.

The two of them walked together toward the place where cleaning supplies were stored.

Outside, the class bell rang shortly after.

However, no teacher dared to care where Gu Jinzhi went. Mo Yu reckoned no one would care about him either.

Such a tiny room sat in the corner at the very end of the classroom building’s hallway, far away from both the offices and the classrooms. The room had no windows, and the door could be locked from the inside. Usually, the only person who might come over was the janitor.

Even though the space was extraordinarily small, there was no other choice.

After the two of them went inside together, Mo Yu immediately locked the door.

“Mo Yu, are you alright?”

Seeing Mo Yu frowning the entire time and his body still soaked, Gu Jinzhi felt a bit apologetic. He wanted to say something more.

Mo Yu let out a sigh, brushing up his wet bangs to reveal his handsome facial features.

“I’m fine. Quick, take off your clothes!”
