Chapter 16: TORTURE·A·LIVE

TORTURE·A·LIVE

At this moment, the bell announcing the end of class rang.

"Then let's end it here; I have other matters." The homeroom teacher picked up his teacup and walked toward the door.

After a brief explanation, the homeroom teacher, who seemed to be heading to another class, quickly left the classroom.

As the door closed, the students in the class began to move. With ten minutes remaining until the next class, even though time was so limited, Ling Yu's surroundings were instantly crowded with people. After all, she looked like a middle school student and possessed near-perfect beauty, yet her true age was unknown even to Qing Qing Xukong.

"Uh... that Ling... Ling..."

"Just call me Ling Yu."

"Um, are you a local?"

"No, I only recently came to this city."

Listening to Ling Yu's conversation with others, Qing Qing Xukong breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed this fellow was actually listening to his words properly. Why not have started like this from the beginning?

"Eh, really? Are you alone? Won't it be very unfamiliar?"

"Not really; I'm temporarily staying at Qing Qing Xukong's house."

Wait, it seems some incredible information has just been spilled. Qing Qing Xukong wanted to stop Ling Yu, but it was already too late.

"Wh-what?! You're living in Qing Qing Xukong's house!" Some boys nearby let out cries of despair, staring at Qing Qing Xukong with the eyes of evil wolves.

"Young men and women living under the same roof... By the way, Qing Qing Xukong lives alone, right?" The girls nearby burst into exclamations, looking at Qing Qing Xukong with incredulous expressions.

"No, it's not like that." Qing Qing Xukong tried to explain, but his voice was drowned out by the noisy air.

"What is your relationship with Qing Qing Xukong? Why are you living in his house?"

"How about it, how about it? Could it be that Qing Qing Xukong is actually very gentle, unlike his outward appearance!"

"He's very beautiful, right? Although this kind of evaluation might be strange for a boy, he is indeed very delicate! Honestly, I'm a bit envious too."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah." The surrounding area erupted with the screams of girls.

Qing Qing Xukong understood that the torture known as interrogation had begun; he would be the mortal hanging on the cross, Ling Yu would be the chief judge, and the surroundings would be the jury.

"Hey, hey, you're causing trouble for others; stop making a scene." Mocheng intervened.

"Mocheng..." Qing Qing Xukong had never experienced a moment of such emotion.

"So, just talk to me alone. By the way, how far have you progressed? You haven't already..." Mocheng said to Qing Qing Xukong with a sunny smile.

It seemed only another juror had been added; no one cared about Qing Qing Xukong's life or death.

"Um... relationship? For now, we're just cohabiting. As for why I live in his house, the situation is a bit complex... But indeed, unlike his appearance, he is very gentle. Although he always says no with his mouth, he still accompanies me shopping. Putting aside carrying things, he pays all the bills. As for his appearance, I can say I fell in love at first sight..."

"Stop... stop... Just this point!" Qing Qing Xukong looked at Ling Yu with pleading eyes.

Ling Yu stopped, looking at Qing Qing Xukong in confusion.

"Shopping together... and he pays the bills? Unexpectedly very manly."

"By the way, if two people go shopping together, doesn't that completely count as a date?"

"By the way, what exactly is this complex situation!"

The crowd around had already fallen into chaos; some looked at Ling Yu with despair, while others stared at Qing Qing Xukong with hostility. Regardless, Qing Qing Xukong had thoroughly become the hot topic of the class, all thanks to a certain godly my lord.

"Damn it, living with such a cute girl, this is simply, simply..."

"So Qing Qing Xukong has that side too? The type who is cold outside but warm inside? Honestly, my heart is a bit stirred."

"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" Qing Qing Xukong shouted loudly. But this interrogation would not end because of that.

"It's quite lively, Qing Qing Xukong. What happened?" A young girl walked into the classroom. Judging by her face, she might not compare to Ling Yu, but at least she had the advantage in figure. Her beige long hair reached just to her shoulders, and her green eyes shimmered with a look of confusion. She was also one of the few friends of Qing Qing Xukong, Zhong Zhong Yuxin. This fellow seemed to be late today for some reason, and it appeared she would not understand the current situation for a while.

"Ah, Zhong Zhong Yuxin, you're here. Qing Qing Xukong... Qing Qing Xukong has... finally... made something of himself!" Mocheng looked at Zhong Zhong Yuxin and choked out the words.

"Huh? What exactly is going on?" Zhong Zhong Yuxin looked at the surrounding crowd and Mocheng in confusion.

"I can't explain it clearly right now; I'll explain it to you clearly later..." Qing Qing Xukong answered before Mocheng could make the situation even more complicated.
