BTMDHSD Chapter 37 Part 2

Qin Shiwu turned his head and asked in surprise, “Is he drunk?”

Qin Chu, “Isn’t that obvious?”

Qin Shiwu paused briefly before quickly asking, “You’re not thinking of striking while the other side is vulnerable, are you?”

Qin Chu, “If you want to be beaten, just say it.”

There were still a few sober people at the table.

Qin Shiwu didn’t want to be beaten by his dad. After all, he who can suit his actions to the time was the one who was wise. So he glanced at the time and said, “Then let’s go back to the dormitory first.”

Zhong Yubing said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t expect him to be able to drink so little.” After saying this, he asked tentatively, “Is your friend…… An alpha?”

Qin Shiwu straightened his chest, “Doesn’t he look like one?”

Zhong Yubing looked at Lu Tong, who was leaning obediently in Qin Chu’s arms, and critiqued in his heart: He really doesn’t look like one.

He was like a kitten, so well-behaved.

It was night and day from the frosty expression he wore earlier.

“It’s nothing. I was just a little curious.”

He had never seen Qin Chu so concerned about anything, and it would have made sense if the other party was an omega.

Unfortunately, it was an alpha.

Zhong Yubing’s thoughts were like heavenly steeds, soaring across the skies[footnote](of writing, calligraphy etc) bold and imaginative / unconstrained in style[/footnote]: Was it deep brotherly love?

The group of people staggered downstairs.

Lu Tong walked unsteadily. At first, Qin Chu was still holding him. Later, Lu Tong moved so badly that he was not well-behaved while leaning on him. So he simply picked Lu Tong up.

As they reached the ground floor, Zhong Yubing said, “Let’s call it a day. When you’re free, we can meet up again sometime.”

Huang Nian asked, “Do you want me to go buy some hangover medicine? Your friend seems to be very drunk.”

Qin Chu, “No need. I will just……”

“Qin Shiwu!”

Before Qin Chu could finish speaking, someone suddenly called Qin Shiwu from the side.

Qin Shiwu was still trying to figure out how his mother had ended up drunk like this. It had completely derailed the dramatic “original wife catches the mistress” scene he had so meticulously planned! Now that sly fox Huang Nian was going to get away without a scratch.

Just at that moment, someone called out “Qin Shiwu,” and the voice reached his ears.

Qin Shiwu looked back. Across the road, a group of ruffians with sticks climbed over the railing and came directly towards him.

Qin Chu stared at Qin Shiwu sternly.

Qin Shiwu’s “kitten radar” kicked in immediately, and he hurriedly said, “I’m innocent, Dad! I have no idea what’s going on!”

Kaiyuan Hotel was situated in a relatively remote area, and since it wasn’t a holiday, the streets were mostly empty. The few innocent bystanders didn’t even blink at the sight of a group of students fighting — — There was a vocational high school near Kaiyuan, and the students inside were very hot-tempered, and fighting seemed to be a common occurrence.

Passers-by quickened their pace, trying to avoid getting involved.

The leader of the gang, who had three earrings in his left ear, tapped his stick against the ground.

“Who is Qin Shiwu?”

Qin Shiwu raised his hand and said, “Looking for me? I’m not free now. Let’s talk another day.”

The older brother with pierced ears said, “We’re here to see Qin Shiwu today. People who have nothing to do with him can get lost.”

Zhong Yubing’s brows frowned slightly, “What’s the matter?”

Qin Shiwu himself didn’t know what was going on!

After he travelled back to sixteen years ago, everything he did in the school could be said to be very law-abiding. The only fight he had was with Gu Kaifei.

It was simply impossible for him to provoke such an off-campus bully.

Among the seven or eight punks, several wore the uniforms from Kaiyuan No. 4 Vocational School.

There were also some older people, who were obviously unemployed vagrants who had nothing to do in society and watched the games in Internet cafés and billiard halls.

The big brother with the pierced ears said, “Do you know why we are going to teach you a lesson?”

Qin Shiwu stood and said, “I don’t know. But you may not be able to teach me a lesson. Apart from my parents, no one who can teach me a lesson has been born yet.”

The big brother with the pierced ears ignored Qin Shiwu’s fierce words and continued, “You threatened my sister in Provincial No. 1 High School this afternoon, right? Who gave you the courage to do that?”

Qin Shiwu was taken aback for a moment, “Your sister?”

He carefully recalled what he had done in the afternoon.

The only impression that remained was of the handful of rebellious girls he’d encountered by the snack counter.

Sixteen years ago in high school, it was really popular to “adopt” fake family ties. The big shots who managed to make a name for themselves at school usually had a dozen sworn big brothers and sisters outside. The delinquent girl Qin Shiwu had crossed probably happened to be the sworn little sister of this guy with all the ear piercings. 

Qin Shiwu hadn’t even taken the incident seriously, but it seemed like the other side had held a grudge first.

“I remember now.” He turned around and reported the cause and effect of the incident to Qin Chu.

Zhong Yubing was curious: Why was this kid telling Qin Chu everything?

As far as he knew, Qin Chu was not a nosy person.

Returning to his home country today, he had already seen too many unexpected things. Qin Chu’s behaviour was really surprising, as if he had changed into a whole different person.

He could still stand here and listen to Qin Shiwu’s words?

According to his personality, wouldn’t he just turn around and leave?

The guy with the ear piercings said, “It is good if you remember. Saves you from getting beaten up without knowing why. I’m not the type to settle scores blindly.”

Growing up, Qin Shiwu had been in plenty of brawls. He flexed his fingers and chuckled lightly, “Who beats who is still up for debate.”

The guy with the pierced earrings let out a roar — — It was practically a ritual for high school fights, as if there would be no sense of ceremony if they didn’t shout like this. He and his gang rushed straight toward Qin Shiwu.

Zhong Yubing originally hadn’t planned to get involved, but after glancing at Qin Chu and sizing up Qin Shiwu’s situation, he decided not to leave after all.

He was not someone to be trifled with, when he was abroad either, and gang fights were nothing new to him. Although his friends were drunk, there were still a few sober ones, who were enough to deal with this group of hooligans.

Lu Tong heard the chaos and uproar and woke up in a daze.

He leaned on Qin Chu and shook his head, “What’s going on?”

Qin Chu replied, brief and to the point, “A fight.”

Lu Tong paused for a long time while his mind probably analysed the meaning of Qin Chu’s words. He then asked, “Who is fighting?”

Qin Chu said, “Qin Shiwu.”

…… Qin Shiwu.

— — Qin Shiwu is fighting?

Lu Tong stood up straight.

Qin Chu didn’t go up at all because of his consideration for him.

Zhong Yubing and the others had all trained in Sanda[footnote]mixed martial arts[/footnote] while abroad, so they didn’t want him to get in on the action.

Lu Tong staggered forward, and Qin Chu hurriedly pulled him, “What are you doing?”

Lu Tong, “I’ll go help him.”

Qin Chu laughed, “You really care about him. However, you can’t even walk steadily now. Then what can you do to help?”

After drinking wine, Lu Tong’s personality became strangely cute, terribly stubborn, and a little childish.

“I just want to go up and help him.” Lu Tong said solemnly, “Suppose……”

Qin Chu was all ears.

“Suppose there are twenty people beating him, I can wipe out half of them as soon as I go up!”

Qin Chu perfunctorily said, “Great, great.”

He grabbed at Lu Tong’s back and stabilised him, “How are you going to wipe them out?”

Lu Tong struggled to ask him to let go, “I’ll go up and beat…… Beat half of them, beat half of them…… You let me go……”

Qin Chu said, “Now that you’ve said that, there’s no way I can just stand by and let you get beaten.”

Lu Tong looked quite anxious.

He didn’t have much physical strength, and he became even weaker after he was drunk. Qin Chu grasped his two hands together with one hand and grabbed hold of him.

Lu Tong used his hands and feet to toss around beside him for a long time but still couldn’t run away.

But then as he got tired from tossing from side to side, Qin Chu opened his mouth and spoke like a complete chūnibyō, “Are you tired now? You are not a competition to me, you know.”

Lu Tong had a sudden complete change from the normal state, and instead of running out, he ran into his arms.

He was more than half a head shorter than Qin Chu, and he leaned in his arms with no sense of disobedience.

Qin Chu said to his heart: Just fight if you want to. Why are you so clingy?

“You are taking advantage of me when you are drunk?” Qin Chu raised his eyebrows.

Lu Tong raised his head from his arms and stared at him misty-eyed.

Qin Chu’s heart immediately skipped a beat, and he complained: He is too close.

Lu Tong softened his voice and seemed to have a coquettish tone, “Can you let go? I promise not to run around?”

Alarms started to sound loudly in Qin Chu’s heart, and he said in horror, “Don’t use beauty tricks!”

With a ”click”, a black mobile phone fell at Qin Chu’s feet.

Lu Tong was staring at Qin Chu so intensely, it looked like he was moments away from doing something not suitable for children. But the sudden noise snapped his attention back.

He slid down Qin Chu’s body and finally squatted on the ground.

Qin Chu reluctantly squatted down with him and saw the mobile phone at his feet.

— — It should have been thrown out from the fight in front.

Qin Chu looked up and saw that Zhong Yubing and the others had already dealt with the gang of gangsters.

Qin Shiwu was extremely arrogant and stepped on the back of the gangsters. Judging by the way he looked, it seemed like he might burst out with a villainous “Mwahahahahaha” laugh at any moment.

“Don’t pick up trash.” Qin Chu tried to pull Lu Tong up from the ground.

After Lu Tong was drunk, he was very curious.

Although Qin Chu dragged him, he couldn’t stop him from picking up the phone.

He had never seen such a mobile phone.

Lu Tong held it in his hand, fiddled with it a couple of times, and suddenly the screen lit up.

“Huh?”

He tilted his head, stared at the screen hard, and uttered a puzzled sound.

On the screen, a strange time was displayed.

It was definitely not this year, and it was even pushed forward to sixteen years later.

Qin Chu had turned his head to talk to Zhong Yubing and did not take note of Lu Tong.

Zhong Yubing, “Let’s go first. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain when the police come later.”

Qin Shiwu patted himself down and asked nervously, “Where’s my phone?”

Zhong Yubing asked him, “Lost your phone?”

Qin Shiwu, “Maybe it was lost during the fight just now. Fuck, where did it go?”

Zhong Yubing, “If it’s lost, just buy another one.”

“No way!” Qin Shiwu refused flatly.

That phone — —

That phone was not from this era at all.

Although others couldn’t unlock it, once the screen lit up, then the time above would be exposed.

Qin SHiwu’s phone was also trembling with fear as they went back sixteen years.

Qin Chu glanced at Lu Tong, pulled the phone out of his hand, and threw it to Qin Shiwu, “Is it this?”

Qin Shiwu felt relieved, and at the same time, he glanced nervously at Lu Tong, who was half leaning on Qin Chu with his eyes closed and seemed not to have touched the phone.

Zhong Yubing said, “Then let’s go first.”

Qin Shiwu had a ghost in his heart[footnote]to harbor ulterior motives[/footnote], and hurriedly said, “I’m leaving first. I remembered I still have something to do!”

He ran even faster than Zhong Yubing. Even though they’d just won a fight, his expression was frighteningly serious, like a rabbit bolting away, and within a few quick hops, he was out of sight.

Qin Chu accepted his fate and carried Lu Tong on his back.

Lu Tong pushed him and muttered, “I’ll go by myself.”

“How will you get there when you are drunk like this? Do you plan to climb back to the dormitory on all fours?”

Lu Tong stubbornly said, “I don’t think I’m drunk.”

Qin Chu, “Yeah, yeah, yeah. May I ask you, schoolmate, what year is this year?”

Lu Tong, “Ding!”

Qin Chu, “Ding?”

Lu Tong, “’Ding’ means I have thought of it[footnote]Aaaaw, soooo cute! I wanna pinch his cheeks~[/footnote].”

Qin Chu said, “You also dubbed for yourself.”

Lu Tong, “The year is— —” He remembered the year on the phone he saw, and said with great confidence, “2028!”

After all, how could the date on a phone be wrong?

Qin Chu nodded, “Hmm. You are not drunk.”

Lu Tong lay on his back and gasped, “I’m not drunk.” He was very close to Qin Chu and commented in a low voice, “Your pheromone smells very good.”

Qin Chu asked flatly, without a hint of flirtation, “Are you s**ually harassing me?”
