Chapter 1583: The False Young Master Is About to Be Pampered by the True Young Master 13

~8 min read 1,543 words

When Zhou An and Jiang Wen met, they were both preoccupied.

Under Jiang Wen's deliberate arrangements, Zhou An's trust level in him rose sharply, and sometimes he would share secrets known only to the two of them.

Except for the fact that he is not the Zhu Family's true young master.

Zhou An always believed that only by possessing this identity could he continue his relationship with Jiang Wen.

"What's wrong with you? You're out on a date but absentminded." Jiang Wen looked at him doubtfully, the gaze behind the rim of his wine glass somewhat strange.

Lately I've felt that Zhou An's protagonist halo is constantly fading, and the system can't even detect what's causing it.

Zhou An hesitated while recounting what happened last night, but what he told Jiang Wen was another version.

In his account, Jin Chen was not the suspected changer of the jade pendant; instead, he had seen Jin Chen produce many copies, and previously he thought it better to avoid trouble, never expecting Jin Chen to actually steal the real jade pendant.

Zhou An sighed, looking displeased: "I never expected Jin Chen to go this far; could the next step be... to replace me?"

Jiang Wen: "……"

He slowly set down his knife and fork, his expression inscrutable.

Frankly, given how many times he's undertaken capture missions, the probability that Zhou An just lied is high.

〖System, confirm Zhou An has no problem—he wouldn't be the one impersonating the identity, would he? 〗

〖No problem, a low-probability character deviation; please Host, do not doubt the stability of the plot in the book. 〗

Jiang Wen showed a slightly worried expression, covering Zhou An's hand: "Don't worry, as long as Jin Chen remains a student at Flourishing Star, I can help you."

"By the way, how's your relationship with Zhu Suisheng lately?"

Jiang Wen couldn't understand why, after so long in the plotline, the false young master still hadn't been driven out of the Zhu Family—this is also completely different from the book's plot.

"He..." Zhou An's bitter smile became more genuine, his words hiding an unavoidable resentment: "He pretends, his parents dote on him, and I can never find an opportunity."

Even though Shi Qian clearly knows Zhu Suisheng is a fake, why does she treat him so well?

Zhou An gripped the fork in his hand, unaware he was being a bit indiscreet, but soon he became somewhat pleased: "But my recognition banquet is coming up soon; perhaps things will improve after that."

That is not only a banquet celebrating his return to the Zhu Family, but also an occasion for him to publicly expose Zhu Suisheng's false young master identity!

But before that, dealing with Jin Chen is the most important.

"Senior, do you have any good ideas?"

——

Zhu Suisheng himself wasn't clear what he was thinking, but he really went to see Jin Chen the next day.

It wasn't a deliberate meeting; Zhu Suisheng thought, and sat down beside Jin Chen with justification, they just happened to have another big class together.

Before class even started, Zhu Suisheng was already a bit drowsy, propping his chin to look at the person beside him, he poked his arm with a finger and whispered: "How can you pay such close attention in this water class?"

Jin Chen lowered his eyes to look at him: "We have attendance points; this class also has an exam."

"Is that so, oh." Zhu Suisheng then remembered that recommended students' exams differ from theirs.

"Then what should I do? It's so boring."

Zhu Suisheng regretted coming a little, a small emotion surfacing: "No, why is it always me coming to find you to play? You were spouting nonsense last night, right? You don't even want to see me."

Jin Chen promptly soothed his frazzled self, looking earnestly at Zhu Suisheng, his tone soft as melted snow over a full pond: "No, you can come; I'm happy."

"I've arranged an exhibition; shall I take you to see it after class?"

Zhu Suisheng lay sideways on the desk, after a few seconds of eye contact with Jin Chen he buried his face in his arm; aside from any emotion, his tone softened considerably.

Zhu Suisheng was lying sideways on the table; after making eye contact with Jin Chen for a few seconds, he buried half his face in his arms, let alone any emotion, his tone softened considerably.

"Cough cough cough..." Yu Xing had just lifted his head from a phone post, and in an instant saw Jin Chen and Zhu Suisheng leaning so close it was almost improper.

Looking around, many classmates obviously had eaten the same melon, frequently casting gossipy glances at the two in the center, murmuring to their neighbors about the melon.

Glancing around front, back, left, and right, many classmates obviously had all eaten the same melon; they frequently threw gossipy glances at the two people in the middle and muttered to their companions about eating melon.

He didn't disturb Jin Chen's listening anymore, merely raising his head in doubt, looking around then at Yu Xing: "What are you looking at?"

Yu Xing glanced at the teacher lecturing alone on the podium, then went behind Jin Chen's seat to pass information to Zhu Suisheng.

"Didn't you go to the library yesterday to look for Chen-ge, and say some weird stuff… Someone snapped it and uploaded it to the forum; now everyone says you're crushing on Chen-ge, flashing your bank card to keep him."

He handed his phone to Zhu Suisheng; the top post marked hot on the Campus Forum is precisely the so-called sponsorship post.

The covert photographer might possibly have heard his explanation to Jin Chen, but didn't catch it all.

The person secretly filming could possibly have heard his explanation to Jin Chen, but didn't hear it all.

No matter how you turn it, you can't escape the sponsorship topic!

I wish I hadn't asked more that day.

Moreover! These people are saying outrageous things!

Things like spending a fortune to chase a husband, or a young master chasing a poor scholar…

Zhu Suisheng tightly pressed his lips and scrolled down, his face growing redder, until he saw a floor post say: "Sure enough, these recommended students are just lowly scum; they previously acted all aloof, but it's just that they lack money—what are they pretending for?"

He immediately frowned, clicked into that person's homepage, and lo and behold it was exactly the individual he had previously investigated who wanted to sponsor Jin Chen!

"Send the post to me." Zhu Suisheng angrily returned his phone to Yu Xing.

Zhu Suisheng wasn't so irrational as to use his own account to curse back; he simply forwarded the post to the PR staff of the Zhu Clan Group.

They quickly replied: "Young Master, may I ask if you want help clarifying or preparing a confession ceremony?"

The other party quickly replied: 'Young master, may I ask if you want help clarifying or preparing a confession ceremony?'

Zhu Suisheng flipped his phone face-down on the table, seriously thinking that these PR staff should collectively improve their reading comprehension.

He was about to blush from his own imagination, but when he glanced at Jin Chen, who was listening earnestly to class, he hadn't diverted even half a glance.

Zhu Suisheng pressed down on Jin Chen's pen-holding hand and whispered: "I just helped you again."

Jin Chen turned his eyes to him, raised a hand to smooth his ruffled hair, and said: "Thank you."

The next second, various crackling sounds not to be ignored rang out around them, accompanied by sharp intakes of breath from eating the real melon.

In the next second, various cracking sounds that could not be ignored rang out all around, accompanied by the sharp intake of breath from someone who had just eaten a real melon.

Zhu Suisheng: "……"

Fine, now it's completely impossible to explain.

He silently covered his face, even his fingertips tinged with pink, feeling somewhat embarrassed, "Aren't you afraid they'll misunderstand?"

"Do you mind?" Jin Chen asked.

Zhu Suisheng's fingers over his cheeks twitched, and he stubbornly said, "Not at all."

He shoved the casually brought book in front of Jin Chen, "As a return gift, you also take notes for me."

Although they had long realized they'd taken the wrong book, they both tacitly sought an excuse—no rigor needed.

Jin Chen looked at him, looked away, and said, "Don't act coquettish."

Zhu Suisheng: "Huh?"

Who's being coquettish!

Jin Chen simply doesn't know what true coquettishness is.

Zhu Suisheng, who always likes to act coquettish to appear cute, let out two hums, leaned over and grabbed Jin Chen's arm, tilted his head and rubbed, his smile beautiful and soft, "Please, you haven't seen coquettishness before, have you?"

Jin Chen lowered his eyes, hid the smile overflowing between them, pinched Zhu Suisheng's collar at the back of his neck, lifted him up and seated him properly, "Now I've seen it—it's impressive."

Zhu Suisheng watched his expression turn gentle, only then realizing what he had done, he lay flat, burying his face in it, the exposed neck red like strawberry jam oozing from a pierced glutinous rice skin.
