FIMA Ch138: Childishness

Gu Siyuan’s voice wasn’t loud. With many people in front of the teaching building, it was quite noisy, so only he and Qi Yue heard the insult clearly.

Qi Yue thought he hadn’t heard correctly, frowning: “What did you just say?”

“I said…” Gu Siyuan’s face was as cold as ice, his words harsh: “Get lost!”

Whether intentionally or not, Gu Siyuan raised his voice significantly the second time.

So, everyone in front of the building heard it and saw the situation clearly.

Immediately, there was another round of murmurs.

“Damn, what’s going on?”

“This is like a soap opera…”

“Wasn’t this scumbag the one who cheated with Qi Yue? What’s happening now…?”

Xie Fengqing at the staircase entrance naturally heard it clearly, his elegant eyebrows slightly raised.

But he quickly returned to normal.

In his eyes, Gu Siyuan and Qi Yue were birds of a feather. Their dogfight was well-deserved.

He had no intention of being surrounded by people because of their scandal and coldly started to walk away from the scene.

At this moment, Qi Yue’s face became extremely ugly.

Who did Gu Siyuan think he was? A plaything he paid for fun, daring to speak to him like that.

However, Qi Yue, who always appeared graceful and gentle, forced a smile despite feeling utterly embarrassed and tried to coax him: “Siyuan, did you get jealous seeing me talk to a pretty girl? Come on, we’re all friends here. I was just joking with her. Do you have to be so serious? How about we go to Qingshui Building for dinner and then shopping? I’ll pay for whatever you like…”

“No need, not interested.”

Gu Siyuan coldly rejected him.

He couldn’t even be bothered to look at this inexplicable obstacle.

Just then, Xie Fengqing and his companions passed by.

Gu Siyuan took a few steps sideways with his long legs, directly blocking their way.

Xie Fengqing stopped in his tracks, glaring at Gu Siyuan. What was this guy up to?

Gu Siyuan stood in front of him, glancing slightly at Ying Ning, and asked calmly, “Who is he? How do you know him?”

At this moment, standing on the cement path in front of the building, while Xie Fengqing stood a head taller on the three steps, it seemed as if he was looking down on Gu Siyuan.

However, when Gu Siyuan looked over, both Xie Fengqing and Ying Ning felt as if they were the ones being looked down upon.

“…” Xie Fengqing’s pupils slightly contracted.

What was wrong with this guy? How dare he speak to him in such a questioning tone?

Ying Ning quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand, we…”

Onlookers couldn’t help but wonder about the scene.

Shouldn’t it be Xie Fengqing catching them cheating?

But looking at Gu Siyuan’s cold face, it seemed the roles were reversed?

However, his face and aura were truly intimidating, no wonder he could live off others.

Gu Siyuan stared intently at Xie Fengqing, coldly advising: “Even if you like romance games, you should be cautious and not fall into meaningless love traps, being played by one or two love scammers.”

“……” Xie Fengqing almost burst out laughing.

You’re really shameless.

One or two?

You know you’re not a good person, huh…

If you hadn’t done such a scummy thing back then, would there be this spectacle in front of the teaching building now? Would everyone be looking at you with sympathetic eyes?

And now, how can you have the face to come at me so righteously?

Xie Fengqing curled his lips into a slight smile, his tone extremely gentle: “Love scam, are you talking about yourself, dear classmate Gu Siyuan?”

Gu Siyuan: “……”

Alright, someone with a record might indeed lack the strength to scold others.

He softened his tone and said, “In short, don’t blindly throw yourself into a relationship just because of a momentary dopamine rush.”

Xie Fengqing retracted his fake smile and said indifferently, “My business has nothing to do with you.”

With that, he bypassed him to leave.

But, maybe because his mood was unstable, or maybe he was holding his chin too high, when he stepped down the three steps, he directly missed a step.

Xie Fengqing’s eyes widened, his body trembled uncontrollably, and the next moment he was about to stumble in front of so many people.

“Damn…”

Gu Siyuan was internally helpless.

With quick reflexes, he stepped to the side, his body moving just in time to block the direction Xie Fengqing was falling, and extended his long arm to catch the stumbling person directly into his arms.

His nose hit the hard chest, causing a slight pain, but at least he avoided a big fall.

“……” Xie Fengqing wanted to die in his arms.

Why does he always embarrass himself in front of Gu Siyuan?

You know, when he was dating this scumbag a few months ago, they never had any close contact.

But now that they’ve broken up, it’s happening every other day…

Annoying!

Gu Siyuan looked down at the person in his arms, lifted his chin and asked, “Are you okay?”

Xie Fengqing’s ears turned slightly red, he turned his head away: “I’m fine, don’t touch me… thank you.”

“Ah, so handsome, so charming, this scumbag…”

“Ah, really strange, this face-valuing world…”

“But it seems a bit shippable, scumbag seme, dumb uke…”

At the entrance of the teaching building, especially among the girls, whispers and murmurs arose.

Today’s story development is really confusing.

Is Scumbag Gu still hung up on his old love and wanting to reconcile? They say he even came to their classroom for a wall slam yesterday…

And Qi Yue, staring at these two hugging and acting indifferent, had a face as dark as the abyss, and said, “Gu Siyuan, do you really think my temper is this good? You have guts, eating from the bowl while eyeing the pot, no one has ever dared to play with my people like this…”

His words were indeed domineering and cool.

Unfortunately, Gu Siyuan didn’t pay him any attention at all, continuing to instruct Xie Fengqing: “Watch your step, and remember, before you think about falling in love again, first understand the other person’s emotional status and marital relationship.”

Marital relationship?

He made it sound like he was going to be a third party, getting more and more ridiculous.

Xie Fengqing stepped out of his arms, glanced at the nearly furious Qi Yue, and smiled: “Classmate Gu, you should solve your own mess first. As for my future relationships, they have nothing to do with you.”

Hearing this, Gu Siyuan raised an eyebrow, looked impatiently at Qi Yue: “Why are you still here?”

Then he turned to Xie Fengqing and said, “This guy is sick, probably thinks he’s in some domineering CEO drama, you don’t have to pay attention to him.”

“Ha…” Hearing this, Qiu Yu couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Seeing everyone’s gaze sweep over, he looked at his friend, then at Gu Siyuan, and quickly covered his mouth, mumbling: “Sorry…”

But his laugh seemed to press some switch, as others in the crowd also started chuckling.

Gu Siyuan’s words were quite amusing…

Why hadn’t anyone noticed before?

Xie Fengqing really didn’t want to stay here any longer, he was already miserable being cheated on, why should he stay here and watch these two idiots perform a comedy?

He quickly threw out a line: “You’re both sick, stay away from me.”

Then he turned and ran away, his back showing clear signs of panic.

Qiu Yu turned his head, looked at Gu Siyuan with interest, then followed along with Ying Ning.

Seeing that the target had left, Gu Siyuan naturally had no interest in wasting more time here, glanced at the onlooker Tao Xiangwen, and prepared to leave.

Qi Yue raised his hand to block Gu Siyuan: “Gu Siyuan, don’t push your luck. While I’m still interested in you, you better explain yourself and make me happy, or you won’t get another chance even if you regret it…”

“Get lost, I don’t have time to play your childish domineering CEO game.” Gu Siyuan’s gaze turned cold, he casually pushed away the arm blocking him and strode away from the teaching building entrance.

With his strength, Qi Yue, a playboy grown up with wine and women, almost instantly lost his balance, staggering several steps before stabilizing against the onlookers.

Qi Yue stood up straight, watching Gu Siyuan’s departing figure, frost gathering in his eyes, and sneered: “A boring game? From now on, the game gets interesting…”

When had Young Master Qi ever been humiliated like this?

…

Tao Xiangwen followed behind Gu Siyuan, still somewhat nervous from the recent scene.

“Siyuan, you’ve really offended both the old flame and the new interest, what exactly are you trying to do?”

Gu Siyuan didn’t look back, coldly said: “There’s no old flame, nor will there be any new interest. I’m not interested in love.”

“……” Tao Xiangwen.

For a moment, Tao Xiangwen had the same thought as Xie Fengqing.

This shameless guy.

Not interested in love? Weren’t you the one who pursued Xie Fengqing in the first place? Weren’t you the one who cheated on him with Qi Yue?

Is this what the internet calls a “simp” who takes the initiative, licking when they want and turning cold and heartless when they don’t, leaving the licked person bewildered and anxious?

What happened earlier didn’t affect Gu Siyuan’s mood at all.

After returning to the dormitory, he immediately turned on his computer and immersed himself in the unfinished program from yesterday.

What’s love compared to the joy of work?

He didn’t know how much time had passed. When he snapped out of it and glanced out the window, the sun was already setting; the day was nearly over.

He completed the program testing and sent it to the client via email.

Then he opened his phone and casually ordered takeout.

While waiting, he checked the stock market for recent trends and then clicked on the “Great Wilderness” icon on his desktop.

In the game, no matter where he went, there were still crowds of people.

Gu Siyuan noticed that his ‘Smurf’ account had received a few private messages.

He moved over to check and saw two familiar IDs, ‘Beauty Overwhelms the City’ and ‘Zhufeng Qing’, both asking about the rare material, Heart of Ice and Snow.

He directly opened the chat with ‘Zhufeng Qing’ and typed: “Available.”

Xie Fengqing was also online and immediately replied: “What price would satisfy you?”

Gu Siyuan: “No money needed, I can give it to you.”

Seeing this, Xie Fengqing frowned slightly, feeling more worried than pleased.

In this world, free things are the most expensive.

He sent back a “?”.

Gu Siyuan got straight to the point: “Agree to one request: stay away from Ying Ning. By the way, his in-game ID is ‘Not Fighting’.”

“……” Xie Fengqing.

Xie Fengqing was very confused.

What background does Ying Ning have? Why are two people so concerned about him in one day?

He actually just met Ying Ning yesterday.

According to his usual practice, his game team typically consisted of himself and three regular teammates, plus the deadweight Gu Siyuan.

However, after Gu Siyuan did that disgraceful thing, he naturally wouldn’t indulge him anymore. As a result, they were one person short for dungeon runs.

Last night, unable to sleep due to Gu Siyuan’s wall-slam incident in the classroom, he went out for some fresh air and happened to see a newcomer moving into the villa next door. The guy had “Great Wilderness” merchandise in his luggage, so they casually chatted. After learning he was a student at N University, it was natural to ask for his game ID.

Finding out his skills were decent, he invited him to join the team.

And today was a coincidence too, as Ying Ning had a class in the same teaching building and they went downstairs together after class.

“What is your relationship with Ying Ning?” Xie Fengqing sent over.

However, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

With this tone, it was likely a love dispute.

Ying Ning was good-looking and had a nice personality. This guy was probably a secret admirer.

Seeing the reply, Gu Siyuan squinted his eyes: “No relationship.”

Xie Fengqing sneered and replied: “If you really like Ying Ning and want to pursue him, you shouldn’t be doing such childish things.”

Gu Siyuan frowned: “I don’t like him, but Ying Ning is already married. You should keep your distance from him.”

Xie Fengqing laughed.

Hah, still arguing, and even saying he’s married?

So young, probably just something you dreamed up.

He replied: “Everyone has the right to make friends. I have no intention of discussing a friend’s personal matters behind their back. I hope you understand respect and take care of yourself.”

After that, he directly blocked this ‘Smurf’ account ID.

Lu Qianfan said his skills were good, but who knew he had a sick mind.

Just like that guy Gu Siyuan, all sick.

Thinking this, Xie Fengqing couldn’t help but frown…

Could that scene Gu Siyuan put on this morning in front of the teaching building be because he has taken a liking to Ying Ning again?

Xie Fengqing’s eyes darkened.

This guy’s speed of falling out of love is faster than normal people walk.

One per day…

Gu Siyuan looked at the suddenly darkened ID and the messages that couldn’t be sent, raising his eyebrows.

Heh, this world’s mission target is really temperamental.

The scumbag account ‘Gu Daxia’ wasn’t blacklisted, but his anonymous ‘Smurf’ received this treatment.

On the other side, Tao Xiangwen saw the game friend’s online notification and leaned over: “Siyuan, you’re in the game…”

Yesterday, he had added Gu Siyuan’s ‘Smurf’ account as a friend too.

Gu Siyuan responded: “Mm.”

“Well, I’m free now. Let’s go through the dungeons together and get you some decent gear. Since you started an alt, you should train it properly. Your main account is infamous; who knows when you can use it again.” Tao Xiangwen smiled.

Gu Siyuan casually nodded: “Alright.”

Tao Xiangwen, though not a top-tier player like Xie Fengqing, was still very skilled compared to average players. He was ranked in the top ten at their school and within the top hundred in the server’s PK arena.

Much better than the original body, who lived off others.

The other two in the dorm occasionally wanted him to help, but Tao Xiangwen never had the time.

“Your alt is level 80, right,” Tao Xiangwen continued, “You can try the new dungeon. I went there yesterday; though it’s really complex and the monsters are hard to fight, the rewards are good. Even if there’s something you can’t use, you can trade it to your main account.”

The new dungeon was just released a few days ago for Christmas, called the Island of Shadows.

Gu Siyuan agreed and coldly said, “Wait a moment, I’ll check the map and introduction on the official website first.”

“……” Tao Xiangwen.

No wonder he could win over the godly Xie Fengqing; he’s really good at putting on airs.

Five minutes later, Gu Siyuan returned to the game interface and said indifferently, “Let’s go.”

Looking at his serious demeanor, Tao Xiangwen couldn’t help but laugh, “Boss, with such thorough preparation, I’ll be counting on you to carry me, alright?”

Gu Siyuan shot him a cold glance and nonchalantly nodded, “Sure.”

“……” Tao Xiangwen.

Call someone fat, and they actually start panting?

How can anyone be so shameless?

…
