The God of War Returns and Spices Up Life With Marriage

Chapter 6

He is my boyfriend now.

When Ding Shi arrived at the campus dorm, Ren Xingliu was digging into the roasted chicken he had taken home, with two suitcases by his feet.

Ding Shi gasped, “A-Xing, are you really going to live in the dorm?”

Young Master Ren complained about the awful environment for the four-person room on the campus. After military training during his first year of college, he quickly rented a luxurious apartment off campus and drove in and out of the campus every day. His supercar had always been the university’s scenic spot.

He often ran from classes anyway. So, it wasn’t big of a problem.

Never would he think that Ren Xingliu would move back to the campus dorm in his fourth year of college, where the majority of the students were starting to rent out or going on internships.

Ding Shi was aware of the economic sanctions imposed on his friend by the Empress Dowager, but it shouldn’t have affected Ren Xingliu’s living situation, because the advance rent payments on his apartment were enough to last until his graduation.

Ren Xingliu said, “They confiscated my car keys, so commuting off campus makes attending classes very inconvenient.”

“Just for that?” Ding Shi curled his lips. “That’s easy. Why don’t you just drive my car?”

As soon as he suggested that, Ren Xingliu gave him a glare. “Are you trying to get me killed?”

Ding Shi: “?”

“Do you think I can drive now?” Ren Xingliu pointed to the plaster hanging on his chest and said, “Besides, it’s inconvenient to attend classes when I live outside. I’m about to graduate and I haven’t finished my thesis yet, so I have to study hard. That’s all.”

“You think I can drive in my current condition?” Ren Xingliu pointed to the plaster cast in front of his chest, then added, “I just said, living off campus makes going to classes very hard. I’m about to graduate, and I haven’t finished my thesis yet. I should be focusing on my education.”

Returning from the chaotic times, Ren Xingliu came to a deep realization of just how valuable studying in a peaceful and comfortable environment was.

“More convenient to attend classes? Focusing on your education?” A series of question marks slowly popped out from the top of Ding Shi’s head.

If he had thought that Ren Xingliu turning to the campus dorm was from the recent blow, but now, it might be because his friend had gone mad.

From what Ding Shi could remember, other than the time Ren Xingliu was forced to study diligently in his third year of senior high school by his family, the college years afterward were completely free range. Even now, his friend probably wouldn’t even know where the campus library’s entrance was.

If it wasn’t for Ren Xingliu’s decent intelligence, able to barely assault exams into a passing grade, who knows how many subjects he would have dropped out.

Ding Shi asked with a distressed heart and a pained head, “Xing-bao, what cruel and inhumane thing did the Empress Dowager do to you?”

To succeed in torturing a dishonest-working silk pants into a modest and assiduous student?!

Ren Xingliu: “...”

He was too lazy to explain to Ding Shi and ignored the inquiry, instead, he commanded, “Stop chit-chatting. Hurry up and make my bed.”

Ding Shi was in even more disbelief. “...So, you called me to come over asap, was to have me make your bed?”

Ren Xingliu gave him a glance. “Of course not.”

Ding Shi breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good...”

Ren Xingliu pointed to the desk and wardrobe, saying, “Take care of these hygiene along the way as well.”

Ding Shi: (Choke.jpg)

His eyes were filled with confusion. “Young Master Ren, isn’t our friendship built on flowers in the sky, alcohol on the ground, intoxicated paper, mesmerized gold, and pleasure seeking?”

“You’re not wrong.” Ren Xingliu thought this over seriously. “It seems like it’s time for me to make new friends who are also diligent and hardworking.”

“Wait, wait, don’t.” Ding Shi gritted his teeth and eventually yielded, “You just need the bed to be made and room to be cleaned, right? I’ll do it.”

What could he do besides pardon him?

Ren Xingliu nodded and gave him an approving look, encouraging, “Rest assured that the bitterness you will eat today will become valuable experiences for your future growth.”

In fact, Ren Xingliu didn’t want to embarrass him, but he had a cast on one hand and it was really inconvenient for him to do it. Otherwise, with his experience of surviving in troubled times, he would be able to do it quickly and well.

So the two well-known dandies of Lingcheng University started cleaning the dormitory in full swing, mainly Ding Shi, while Ren Xingliu pointed and occasionally handed a rag.@@@@

This was how two well-known skill pants from Ling University were cleaning up Ren Xingliu’s dorm with blazing intensity. Well, it was mainly on Ding Shi, while Ren Xingliu worked as the commander, pointing his finger and occasionally passing the cleaning rag.

While Ding Shi was working, he was questioning life. How did a young master like him end up like this?

What made him question everything the most was how proficient Ren Xingliu was in this. His friend was on the same boat as him, never touching the March water with their ten fingers.

But since he had already got on the deceitful bed, it was useless to say more.

Compared to that, there was something else he was more curious about.

As Ding Shi was wiping the bed board, he showed his face above the edge of the bed, asking, “A-Xing, I heard you went on a blind date with Bai Yao’s cousin?”

Ren Xingliu looked up at him. “I see the news has reached you already.”

“That’s quite a difference.” Ren Xing looked askance at him. “Others wouldn’t eat shit at any given chance.”

Ding Shi shed silent tears. “...I ate it all for you.”

Ren Xingliu pretended not to hear that, then he suddenly realized that it might not be that easy to get through this together with Bai Juanqiu.

This disclosure was ultimately classified as a rumor and didn’t cause many waves, but it also reminded him once more just how bad his reputation was before his transmigration.

Even his fellow students didn’t believe that he would date Bai Juanqiu.

Bai Yao was able to see this chat, being a student in this university. What would he make of this?

There was no more trust Ren Zhu had in him. It was just the heat of the moment that got to her. Once she calmed down, would she also doubt their relationship?

To solve these complications, one must make the relationship more solid before the raise of suspicion.

Ren Xingliu mulled it over for a moment before quickly coming up with an idea.

“...Fenghan Capital’s itinerary has been finalized. Their team will arrive in Lingcheng and visit our company in two weeks. Please make preparations in advance for all departments.” Wei Duzhou clapped his hands after explaining all the matters. “Okay, that’s it for today’s meeting. If there’s nothing else, let’s adjourn.”

“...Fenghan Capital’s plan of action has been finalized, and their team will arrive in Ling City and visit the office in two weeks. Please have all departments make preparations ahead of schedule.” Wei Duzhou clapped after instructing all the matters. “Alright, that’s all for today’s meeting. If there’s nothing else, then back to work.”

With his cue, people in the conference room stood up one after another and rushed out.

Bai Juanqiu also stood up. As he was about to leave, he was stopped by Wei Duzhou, “Not you, stay.”

Bai Juanqiu stopped and gave him a questioning look.

Wei Duzhou glanced at the entrance. Once everyone had left, he frowned and said, “Bro, did you really go on a blind date with the Ren Family’s young master?”

Wei Duzhou is the apparent boss of Shengjing Technology and Bai Juanqiu’s high school classmate. He has been with Bai Juanqiu these years and knows a lot about the Bai family, but he still felt uncomfortable after hearing the news a few days ago. I can believe that it was just that he was on a business trip in the city and had no time to ask carefully. As soon as he came back, he immediately asked Bai Juanqiu to find out the situation.

Wei Duzhou was the boss of Shengjing Technology, and also Bai Juanqiu’s senior high school classmate. Over the years, he had been by Bai Juanqiu’s side and knew quite well about the Bai Family. However, a few days ago, he had learned of this news and couldn’t believe it. It was just that he was on a business trip in another city and didn’t have time to inquire. So, now that he was back, he sought out Bai Juanqiu to get into the bottom of things.

Bai Juanqiu nodded. “Yes.”

“Outrageous.” Wei Duzhou smacked the table in anger. “Bai Guanghai is simply bullying intolerably. What does he take you for?”

Wei Duzhou felt indignant at the injustice, while Bai Juanqiu remained calm as usual. The most puzzling thing was the hint of amusement in his eyes. “It’s fine.”

“How is that fine?” Wei Duzhou gritted his teeth and said, “I know you definitely won’t let Bai Guanghai have his way in this. This is too vile, asking you to go on a blind date with another man. It’s like selling your ass to get him glory. Well, kudos for him to think of this!”

The more he went on, the angrier he got. “I also asked around. That Ren Xingliu has no good bones in him. His eyes are on the top of his head usually, and even if you can handle it, it’s still a revolting matter... Oh right, you have already met that Ren guy. I hope he didn’t make things difficult for you?”

“Not at all.” Bai Juanqiu gave his friend a look and said indifferently, “We really hit it off. Also...”

There was an agreement between Ren Xingliu and him. He must not reveal the truth, even with close friends.

As for what to say specifically, Bai Juanqiu had already planned it out in advance. Just copy and paste Young Master Ren’s claim, “We fell in love at first sight, and decided to go out on the spot. He is my boyfriend now.”

Wei Duzhou: “???”

He was clearly dumbfounded. After a long trance, he asked with uncertainty, “Wait, bro, I’m talking about Ren Xingliu. Who are you referring to?”

Bai Juanqiu replied, “...Ren Xingliu.”

Wei Duzhou was silent for a longer time this time. He lowered his head and didn’t know what he was thinking. After a while, he finally raised his head again. The expression on his face changed, and there was a hint of sadness: “Brother, I know that the people over at Bai Guanghai are so powerful.” It’s very tight, but Shengjing is already on the right track. As long as we take Fenghan Capital and slowly figure it out, we can always wait until the clouds clear and the sun comes out... You really don’t need to make such a sacrifice!”

Wei Duzhou remained silent for longer this time. He lowered his head, thinking of something. After a while, he finally raised his head, showing all the emotions happening inside, with distress lingering the most. “Bro, I know Bai Guanghai over there can really corner you, but Shengjing is already on a positive trajectory. As long as Fenghan Capital will invest in us, and we take things slow, the clouds will disperse eventually, and we will be able to see the sun... You really don’t have to make such a sacrifice!”

Bai Juanqiu found his words weird and frowned. “What are you talking about?”

“I know that if we could get assistance from the Ren Family, it would be much easier for our operation. However...” Wei Duzhou’s words were filled with forbearance. “You have already waited for so many years, why rush and give your body to someone like Ren Xingliu!”

Bai Juanqiu was taken aback right then, and a vein pulsed on his forehead. “Aren’t you overthinking it?”

“I obviously thought too little!” Wei Duzhou was heartbroken. After learning from the pain, he finally made up his mind, took a deep breath, and looked straight at Bai Juanqiu, his eyes filled with the solemn and heroic self-sacrifice, “Brother, I Think about it, you still have a lot to do in the future, and you still have a bright future in life. You must not leave such a stain, so let me do this!”

“No, I’m clearly not thinking enough!” Wei Duzhou was in pain, both mentally and physically. After recalling the past painful experience, he finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and looked straight at Bai Juanqiu with eyes filled with sorrow, because he was about to give up his life for righteousness. “Bro, I have thought it over. You still have so many important things waiting for you, and a bright future ahead of you. You must not leave a mark on your record, so allow me to take your place!”

He had even thought about the concrete details. “But I’m not into men, maybe I’ll have to take drugs to help when the time comes...”

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt a freezing aura assaulting from the side.

Wei Duzhou turned and saw Bai Juanqiu staring at him with a chilling gaze.

Wei Duzhou’s hair was stood up by that look, and his voice turned timid, “What?”

Bai Juanqiu sneered, “You thought quite beautifully.”

Wei Duzhou: “??”
