[ABO] President Shou Is Not a Total Shou Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Rejecting Porn, Gambling, and Drugs La La La La La

Because Yin Xi worked at the nightclub in the evenings, he would seize the time after lunch, when others returned to the dorms for a nap, to read in the classroom.

Coming in as usual today, he happened to run into Shou Jiaxun and Xiao Yu in a standoff inside the classroom, looking as if a fight might break out at any moment.

Seeing this situation, Student Yin naturally stopped outside the door to watch how things would unfold. He was genuinely curious—and very concerned—about what exactly had happened between Xiao Yu and Shou Jiaxun in the private room last night, and why the two had parted on such bad terms.

After all, when they left the booth, they were laughing and linking arms, getting along harmoniously…

Unfortunately, the live broadcast of President Shou’s “reincarnation” couldn’t be replayed, so the fog of confusion shrouding Yin Xi’s head wouldn’t disperse anytime soon.

Xiao Yu, provoked into a rage by Shou Jiaxun’s cold mockery and satire, raised his palm as if to strike.

Seeing this, Shou Jiaxun immediately braced his hands on the desks in front and behind him, leaped onto a chair, arched his back, and bent his knees in readiness. The meaning was clear… Dare to hit me, and I’ll kick you to death.

Rich Young Master Xiao had probably never encountered such a brazen, shameless, wicked, and brainless individual. He was so angry that his brain lacked oxygen and his heart rhythm went erratic; if they argued any longer, he didn’t know if he would die young.

The palm raised in mid-air slowly clenched into a fist. He flung his hand down and roared, “You don’t know what’s good for you!”

Shou Jiaxun jumped down from the chair and retorted at Class Monitor Xiao’s furious retreating back, “Whether I know what’s good for me or not, what business is it of yours?”

Yin Xi, peeping from outside the door, hurriedly took two steps back and ducked into the classroom next door.

He waited until Xiao Yu had walked far away before returning to his own class. He quietly walked up behind Shou Jiaxun, who was bending over to wipe the chair seat with a tissue. “Shou Jiaxun, I have something to say to you. Let’s find a place to talk.”

Shou Jiaxun had blocked Student Yin at the Academic Affairs Office all morning to get his nightclub work badge back. However, now that he had shifted his thinking and prepared to drop out, he instantly lost interest in Yin Xi and the leverage Yin Xi held.

“Say what? Just say it here. There’s nobody around.”

Yin Xi had just eavesdropped on Shou Jiaxun and Xiao Yu from outside the door, so naturally, he was worried someone else might do the same to him. He whispered a refusal: “Class is starting soon; people will be back shortly.”

Shou Jiaxun wiped the seat clean, straightened up, frowned, and suggested, “Then how about… the Sky Garden?”

Yin Xi nodded and turned to walk out first.

The so-called “Sky Garden” was the top floor of their teaching building, a place with planter boxes for flowers and grass.

This place was very lively during breaks in spring and autumn because students could sunbathe, look at the scenery, and incidentally water the plants to release some love.

However, at noon in midsummer, there was definitely no one there. After all, with the sun baking down on a place where you could fry an egg on a metal plate, who would be so irrational as to come up here and “dehydrate” themselves?

President Shou went up to the top floor and, before even leaving the stairwell, shouted at Yin Xi, “Hey, stop walking. Let’s just talk here! It’s hot enough to kill someone out there.”

Yin Xi didn’t listen to the advice. He took out Shou Jiaxun’s nightclub badge, waved it backward, and continued walking toward the water tower.

The water storage tower was the only small structure on the flat roof, and the only patch of shade on the entire platform was right beside it.

Shou Jiaxun followed Yin Xi and stood under the water tower. “I’m quite busy this afternoon. If you have a fart, let it out fast.”

Yin Xi relaxed his expression, smiled at Shou Jiaxun, and then handed over the small card in his hand. “I drank too much last night and didn’t control my temper well. Sorry.”

Shou Jiaxun glanced expressionlessly at the small object. “Keep it as a souvenir.”

Yin Xi paused, showing a confused expression. “Is your family problem solved?”

“No. How could it be that easy? Your dad is just in poor health so you’re steadily poor. My dad played with hedge funds…”

Bringing up this troublesome matter, Shou Jiaxun subconsciously touched his trouser pocket, wanting to fish out a cigarette to calm himself. The result, of course, was empty air. In the end, he could only touch his mouth with an empty hand. “You can check online casually and know which one is more deadly.”

Student Yin persisted in returning the nightclub badge to Shou Jiaxun, not hesitating to apologize again. “It was my misunderstanding last night. I was wrong. I’ll pay attention in the future. We each do our own thing; I won’t cause you trouble again. Don’t act out of spite. You were right; although my family is poor, we are poor very stably. I never worry about them selling the house and running away just because of a disagreement. But you, leaving school now without even a place to live, and with no income—how will you solve the problem of eating?”

President Shou, who had just read Yin Xi’s memories and inner thoughts this morning, scrutinized the concerned face before him with deep meaning, finding it increasingly amusing.

“Yin Xi, you’re still young. I won’t hold yesterday’s events against you. Besides, ‘sitting at tables’ never solves any problems. If it did, ‘Porn’ wouldn’t be ranked ahead of ‘Gambling’ and ‘Drugs,’ right?”

Yin Xi’s face instantly turned cold, and he clenched Shou Jiaxun’s nightclub badge back into his palm. “Don’t judge others’ choices without knowing their suffering. Besides, I spend my own time and energy earning hard money. I haven’t hurt anyone.”

Shou Jiaxun pursed his lips and scoffed, “In this world, if you really want to help someone, I’ve only heard of persuading people to be good. I’ve never heard of persuading people to sell their bodies.”

“Who told you to ‘sell your body’?!” Student Yin scolded in a low voice, astonished. “Shou Jiaxun, are you sick? I told you clearly from the start, going to ‘Huiye’ is just selling alcohol. Whether you want to sell your body or your kidney, what does it have to do with me?”

“You introduced me to ‘Huiye’ because there’s an old lecher named Dong who kept pestering you. You needed to find a foolish Omega about your age and build to take the bullet for you.”

President Shou chuckled with disdain. “Not very old, but plenty of schemes.”

Yin Xi furrowed his brows and flatly denied it. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Shou Jiaxun sneered, “Fine, fine, let’s not mention the past. Since you insist you were helping me, then I thank you for introducing me to ‘Huiye’ to sit at tables. After all, it covered my food money for half a month. I’ll return the favor and give you a piece of advice: pull yourself out early! Unless you want to be a ‘Duck’ for the rest of your life.”

Student Yin listened until his face turned iron-green, his eyes cold and gloomy. “I wish you a lifetime of being high and mighty too.”

With that, clutching the ironclad evidence of Shou Jiaxun’s nightclub work, he walked quickly away from the rooftop.

President Shou watched Student Yin walk away, sighed deeply, leaned against the outer wall of the water tower, and called out softly, “Husband, come out if you’re there.”

“Don’t call me that randomly. We’re both poor losers; let’s not drag each other down.”

The voice arrived with the person. A tall, strong boy with dark skin walked out from the sunny side of the water tower, frowning and grinning as he complained, “If you two had chatted any longer, I would have been roasted to death.”

In Year 3 Class 1, Yin Xi wasn’t the only diligent “catfish” who insisted on using the lunch break to recite books and study.

The “Husband” in front of Shou Jiaxun was named Guo Duoyu. He was the other “catfish” top scholar in their class.

Because they were both “catfish,” there would inevitably be a day of reckoning to compete for the advancement awards. So they strove separately—kings did not see kings.

Where Yin Xi reviewed his books, one would definitely not see Guo Duoyu’s struggling figure. Even if the two bumped into each other in the classroom, they wouldn’t spare a second glance at one another.

However, even setting aside their relationship as “fated rivals,” Guo Duoyu and Yin Xi’s personalities were very incompatible.

Because Yin Xi took the low-key progressive route, enduring in silence, secretly competitive.

Guo Duoyu, on the other hand, was blatantly mercenary.

Simply put, Yin Xi cared about face; Guo Duoyu found “caring about face” superfluous.

At the entrance ceremony, Student Guo introduced himself to the class like this: “My name is Guo Duoyu (Fruit Extra). My Omega father was a mistress who failed to rise to the top, so I am very superfluous (duoyu). In summary, my family is not only single-parent but also particularly poor. We move on average once every six months; as long as the landlord raises the rent, we move. The houses I’ve lived in since childhood vary, but they always leak wind in winter and water in summer. Therefore, I have only one dream: that one day, an Omega stepping out of a BMW, draped in gold and silver, will walk up to me and say, ‘I’ll support you for ten thousand years.’ I am willing to bet my entire youth on this, sparing no effort to improve my exam scores. I applied to ‘Li Mai’ because this is the place closest to my dream. To all the wealthy Omega classmates present, congratulations, you are already standing on the threshold of my mate selection range. Inquiries are welcome, calls only, no text messages accepted. …Mainly because my phone has two broken keys, so typing is inconvenient.”

On the podium, Guo Duoyu was complacent; below the podium, the students roared with laughter.

That day, the person scheduled to introduce himself after Guo Duoyu was Shou Jiaxun. Shou Jiaxun said, “Hello Guo Duoyu, my name is Shou Jiaxun. I think standing on the threshold is a bit tiring. My family can be considered to have some money… Do you think you can let me step down from the threshold first?”

An Omega classmate behind Shou Jiaxun found the two of them too funny, so he extended Shou Jiaxun’s sentence structure: “Hello Guo Duoyu, I also think standing on the threshold is quite tiring…”

Eventually, a group of wealthy Omegas with mediocre grades but great family backgrounds took pride in self-deprecatingly standing on the top scholar’s “threshold” and called Guo Duoyu “Husband.”

However, recently, with Shou Jiaxun’s dad going bankrupt and running away, little Student Shou had been stripped of the right to call Scholar Guo “Husband.”

After all… the poorer one is, the more one must be a person of principle.

Especially on the road to getting rich, sticking to the bottom line is key.
