Face-slapping the CV (1)

Returning to that vast space, Zhou Xu knew this time what his lover was going to tell him. Either missing him or had been waiting too long. Anyway, he was excited for the moment to come.
As he had expected, the shadow appeared. This time, its eyes weren’t as sad anymore. It just looked deeply at Zhou Xu and said, “Xiao Xu, after you finish the next world, I’ll still be here for you. You need to wait for me.”
Zhou Xu nodded and stepped forward, “Song Chenmo, I’ll wait for you.”
“Oh, and, I’m glad that I can experience so many worlds with you.”
“Me too.”
“But, after we return to the real world, I’ll still punish you.”
“Why?” Zhou Xu leaned beside him and said, “All these people I knew were all you.”
Song Chenmo touched Xiao Xu’s head and said gently, “Xiao Xu, I missed you. I missed you dearly.”
“So, you followed me here, right?”
“Yeah.”
Saying so, Song Chenmo’s shadow faded away and disappeared in front of Zhou Xu. The smile on his lips was faint, but it was enough to move Zhou Xu again.
In one of Noah’s hospital wards, the highest-ranked admiral of the empire, Song Chenmo gained his senses again. This time, he could feel that his body was full of strength. Rubbing his temples, he got back to his supercomputer.
He quickly entered the database and started decoding. It was a complicated process and required full concentration because, in this long string of code, even a single error would cause the entire program to fail.
With every second passing, Song Chenmo became more worried. Fifty minutes passed. He only got around forty minutes to go, yet this decoding process seemed to be endless.
His fingers flew across the keyboard as he sped up.
He was starting to sweat a little. After an hour and ten minutes, Song Chenmo finally finished his decoding and clicked “RUN”. Data started appearing on his screen.
Reading as fast as he could, Song Chenmo started viewing the data. He had to hurry. Faster, even faster…
It was just that the more he saw the more terrified he became. The whole time their planet was under the Kusk’s control, but they never even noticed, proving how technologically advanced the Kusk were.
It was just that Kusk was a very resource-deprived planet with a small population of only around half of Noah. It was also for that reason that the Kusks wanted to take over Noah.
After learning about this, the rest of the mission would be much easier. He had to rescue Zhou Xu and to do that, Song Chenmo had to capture Zhou Hao first. Shong Chenmo also feared that anything he did right now might cause Zhou Xu to not be able to return forever.
With five more minutes left, Song Chenmo thought about what he had to do and left a string of code on the table.
That code was invented by Zhou Xu, so if there was a person in the world that understood it, it would have to be a very close friend of Zhou Xu. Also, after Zhou Xu had disappeared for so long, anyone that cared about him would want to do something to get him back.
After he had done all this, Song Chenmo calmly fell asleep, knowing that the next time he woke up he would have three hours, which would be enough time to capture Zhou Hao and rescue Zhou Xu.
Waking up again, Zhou Xu was in a dormitory. The beds were all empty, and beside Zhou Xu was a suitcase. Looking around, he guessed that it was a college dorm, either starting school or returning from a break.
He experienced this type of world before, so he knew clearly.
His pinky was itching again, and Zhou Xu received the information about this world.
It was again a modern world, but the unique part about this world was that voice actors were very popular, and every college or university had its own voice acting club.
The host, Zhou Xu, got into this school just so that he could voice-act.
But in fact, the host chose this school mainly because he had a crush on the lead actor in the voice acting club.
The lead actor was called Xingsu Chongqi, and he acted mainly for the male voice in BL dramas, so his voice was naturally lower, giving people a paralyzing feeling. It was also after the host heard Xingsu Chongqi’s voice did he realize what it feels like to hear the most pleasing sound in the world.
With the voice alone, it was enough to give endless pleasure, yet this voice also excited Zhou Xu and countless other ladies.
So, Xingsu Chongqi’s social account had more than three million followers. As a result, he also would receive countless proposals every day and would not care much about the host.
To get closer to their idol, Zhou Xu and Shuang Yue both joined the Xiaoxiao Club, and with their unique voices, they soon got some attention.
The first time that they met for practice, the host and Shuang Yue both saw Xingsu Chongqi, but Shuang Yue also fell in love with Xingsu Chongqi.
The host was an introvert, but Shuang Yue, on the other hand, was a lively and open person who could bring laughter to everywhere he went. Therefore, everyone in the club loved him, and he soon started pursuing Xingsu Chongqi like crazy.
Shuang Yue once wanted to play around with Xingsu Chongqi, and registered an alternative account to prank Zhou Xu, telling Zhou Xu that Xingsu Chongqi liked Shuang Yue. The host actually just believed what he said.
Since then, Shuang Yue and Xingsu Chongqi both liked to use that account to play around with Zhou Xu, saying how he liked Zhou Xu’s voice and started texting back and forth every day.
The host was very lonely. His parents divorced when he was young, and his brother who was much older than him rarely visited him. The only thing he had was money.
His parents gave him plenty of pocket money, and his brother would also send him money often. So, the host was just a poor man with a lot of money, so after receiving such care from a stranger, he started liking that person as well.
Shuang Yue and Xingsu Chongqi, however, were overjoyed, because Zhou Xu was just too stupid.
After the three of them met, Zhou Xu finally found out that it was all a prank, and it was a big hit to his self-esteem. He wanted to punch them but was weaker than them both, so in the end, they were fine, and he was injured.
Then, the host hired many people to comment under their social media to slander them, causing their reputation to be ruined. After they found out, they called the cops.
It was not severe enough to the extent of being sent to prison, but Zhou Xu was still sentenced to prison. Xingsu Chongqi’s real name was Su Chenqi, and his dad Su Ting was the mayor of the city.
After staying in prison for six months, he found out that he already got expelled by his school as he was released.
He didn’t want to give up. Without knowing that Su Chengqi’s dad was the mayor, he found some gang people and wanted to teach Su Chengqi and Shuang Yue a lesson. At that time, Su Chengqi and Shuang Yue were already living together, and the gang members were easily defeated.
Finally, Zhou Xu was beaten to the ground on the street, and because no one was there to help, he died from his injuries.
After receiving all the information, Zhou Xu smiled.
Being one of the protagonists must be very enjoyable. Not only did he play with others’ emotions, but he also got to say “it’s just a joke, don’t take it seriously”, and stay innocent. The host, a kind person, was forced to be a villain.
It was funny that the protagonists were always the sunshine of the world they were in. Even if they were wrong, they would still be considered right. As for the reason why… They were the protagonists. Simple as that.
The good thing was that this was only the start of school, so others still didn’t know his personality. He didn’t have to pretend to be kind of introverted, and as for Shuang Yue, he would let this “nice” person become selfish.
Shuang Yue came from a poor family. During his first year in college, he didn’t have much money, and he would always stay with Zhou Xu, studying together and going to the Xiaoxiao Club together. Many times, he would often take Zhou Xu’s kindness as his, and Zhou Xu never cared.
But the Zhou Xu now was different from the Zhou Xu before. If Shuang Yue was truly kind or forgot, Zhou Xu wouldn’t mind either, but if Shuang Yue wanted to take advantage of him on purpose, he wouldn’t be fooled.
As he was thinking about it, a handsome young man came in the door.
The person saw Zhou Xu and smiled brightly, “Hi there, my name is Shuang Yue. I guess we’ll be roommates from now on, right?”
Zhou Xu didn’t smile and just said, “I’m Zhou Xu.”
“The other two aren’t here yet. That’s great! I’ll take this bed, I like to be beside the window.” As he said that, Shuang Yue already placed his luggage next to the bed closest to the window.
Zhou Xu chose a bed diagonal to his, as he didn’t want to stay too close to him.
As the two unpacked, the other two roommates didn’t arrive. There were a total of three days of check-in, so it was possible that they would arrive later. Shuang Yue said, “Zhou Xu, let’s go buy something to eat. Right, we also need some supplies for our room, let’s just go shopping together after too.”
Zhou Xu nodded, and they bought a lot of items, but it was Zhou Xu that paid for them all, because whenever it was time to pay, Shuang Yue always was busy doing something else, like checking his phone or looking around.
Zhou Xu didn’t pay because he wanted to but because he wanted to see how Shuang Yue took advantage of other people.
After they got back to their dorms, Shuang Yue saw that the other two roommates were here too, so he smiled and said, “Hi! I’m Shuang Yue.”
“My name is Wang Xinping.”
“Qi Mingtao.”
“Come, come. We just got some food. Let’s eat together, it’s just fried chicken. Right, we also bought toiletries, and we can share.”
Shuang Yue was very enthusiastic, but Zhou Xu just sneered, knowing that it was him that paid for everything, but Shuang Yue made it seem like it was not.
At first, Zhou Xu just wanted to make sure if he had truly forgotten or didn’t pay attention, but now, he changed his mind. Zhou Xu wouldn’t bother if Shuang Yue wanted to share truthfully.
But if it was intentional, then this person had moral issues.
If it wasn’t on purpose, then he didn’t know how to respect others, at least not respecting Zhou Xu.
So, Zhou Xu said, “Sorry, Shuang Yue, but didn’t we say that we’ll split the bills? How about this, can you pay your portion now? I just want to make things clear, you won’t blame me for being selfish, right?”
Shuang Yue paused for a moment and smiled awkwardly, “Why would I? How much was it? I’ll pay right now.”
Zhou Xu said a number and Shuang Yue awkwardly paid Zhou Xu. Zhou Xu said to the other two roommates, “Come, let’s all have some food. I heard that this fried chicken is really good.”
The other two also felt a bit awkward, so they only each took one and left to buy food themselves.
Zhou Xu knew for sure that all three of them felt that he would be hard to deal with, but he didn’t mind.
Zhou Xu felt that he didn’t need to befriend someone who only cared about the small benefits. They would only be his roommates and nothing more.
Just as Zhou Xu thought that Shuang Yue would maintain a distance from him, Shuang Yue took the initiative a few days later to invite him to the Xiaoxiao Club, the club where his host’s idol was in.
