Everyone Knows I'm a Good Person

Chapter 145.2

Editor: Sahloknir

Shi Qing heard the System’s notification as he was about to push open the door.

[Ding! Song Xiabing’s animosity value: 489/100]

He raised an eyebrow. [Not bad, not bad. It’s certainly dropped a lot already.]

The System couldn’t tell for a moment if he was being sarcastic or not.

[Host, it’s already been half a month but his animosity value is still almost 500...]

Shi Qing: [Don’t be in such a rush. You have to put in the work so you can cut loose and have fun later. See? Now Songsong doesn’t want to kill me anymore.]

The System: [...]

But no matter how much work you put in, the animosity value is still in the 480s, ah...

It’s pretty much given up on this world.

Oh well, it’ll just go play its games.

As long as the Host’s happy.

Shi Qing pushed open the door and flashed a smile at Song Xiabing.

“You’re looking better today.”

Song Xiabing put down the book he was holding and smiled gently. He came forward smoothly to help Shi Qing unload his weaponry.

“Boss, can you take me with you when you go out?”

“What for? You don’t even have an ability. Don’t you know how dangerous it is out there? What if something happens to you?”

Shi Qing enjoyed Song Xiabing’s attentive service that made him seem like a little wife. He yawned and waved a hand impatiently.

“Just be good and stay inside.”

Song Xiabing didn’t get angry.

After spending almost two weeks with Shi Qing, he knew that this was just how the man was. His tone wouldn’t improve much even when he genuinely cared.

Song Xiabing only raised a hand to his forehead and softly said, “But spending so much time inside is suffocating me. I’m finding it hard to breathe these days, but the doctors couldn’t find anything wrong.”

As expected, the man seemed to hesitate.

Song Xiabing struck while the iron was hot. “Boss, I promise I’ll always stay close to you. I’m sure someone as powerful as you will be able to protect me.”

The man seemed to be fed up with his persistence. He shook off his hand and muttered, “Fine, fine. You can go out with me tomorrow.”

A faint smile appeared on Song Xiabing’s face. A hand fell on that big, fiery red tail as he spoke quietly in his charming voice.

“Thank you Boss. I’ll touch your tail for you.”

Not long after, the man’s weak, quiet pants came from inside the room.

After that pleasurable experience, Shi Qing fell asleep immediately.

Song Xiabing stayed awake. He turned to look at the man sleeping next to him.

He reached out slightly. His long, good-looking fingertips hovered by the side of Shi Qing’s face.

Through the air, he traced the man’s handsome, chiseled features.

Why is this person always shrouded in mystery?

Song Xiabing thought.

Shi Qing is clearly a simple man to read.

Song Xiabing should have either made the man into his puppet or killed him after his abilities surpassed Shi Qing’s.

But now he was hesitating for some reason.

Yes, it was true that Shi Qing had been nothing but kind to him these days.

And yes, it was true that Song Xiabing craved the care given by Shi Qing since he had only experienced it from his mother before.

He wouldn’t deny that Shi Qing did care for him.

He could feel it.

Song Xiabing was expressionless as he silently made a decision.

He would test his hypothesis tomorrow.

If it was really like what he thought....

Then it wouldn’t hurt to try it out with Shi Qing.

He slowly closed his eyes. His breathing gradually evened out.

Shi Qing, who had been pretending to be asleep, did not open his eyes.

He was busy chatting with the System: [He’s definitely going to create a dangerous situation tomorrow to test me. Let me guess, zombies? Yeah, probably zombies. After all, mutant plants and animals aren’t as easy to wrangle.]

The System didn’t understand. [A test? What kind of test?]

Shi Qing explained things to it in simpler terms.

[What I mean is that he’s going to find a zombie tomorrow and make it look like he’s about to be mauled. He wants to see if I’ll risk my life to protect him.]

The System: [...What an insane test. Isn’t he afraid of actually getting injured?]

Actually, there was no chance of that happening.

If Song Xiabing was just an ordinary person, he would have to be insane to go through with this plan.

But he wasn’t an ordinary person. In fact, he was a high level ability user, one able to devour all things with a thought.

Why would he fear a mere zombie?

The System: [Besides, Host, the original host would never risk his life to protect someone.]

Shi Qing: [Hehehe.]

The System: [...]

Shi Qing: [That’s right. I would if things go the way you’re thinking.]

System: [...But what about going OOC.]

Shi Qing: [Don’t worry. I definitely won’t be going OOC. You’ll get what I’m doing about a month from now.

The System: [...]

It still didn’t think this was possible.

How could anyone risk their own life to test someone else? No one was that dumb, right?

The next day...

The System could only watch, flabbergasted, as Song Xiabing suddenly left the group and deliberately attracted a zombie to his side while everyone was fighting.

Then, he cried out miserably, “Help me, Boss!”

The System: [...]

This move looks so familiar...

Its Host liked to do things this way too.

The zombie was too close to Song Xiabing. Even Shi Qing’s fire wouldn’t reach him in time. A flash of panic crossed the eyes of the handsome man running over as he watched that zombie go in for a bite. He rushed forward almost subconsciously and embraced Song Xiabing, exposing his back to the zombie.

The zombie’s bite landed directly on his shoulder.

A split second later, Shi Qing’s flames engulfed its body.

The little brothers nearby were all flustered at this sudden turn of events. “Boss!!”

No one noticed that a wisp of black mist entered the zombie’s mouth just before it bit Shi Qing and devoured its teeth.

And the one who did that, Song Xiabing, remained still in Shi Qing’s arms. His eyes shone to a frightening degree. He watched silently as the taller man looked back at his shoulder with bewilderment.

“Fuck me, is Laozi’s luck this good today? I’m actually fine after being bitten by a zombie?”

The little brothers rushed over. Some of them checked out the zombie. With a dumbfounded, ‘holy shit this is a miracle’ expression, they announced, “This zombie is actually toothless.”

“Toothless?? Was it an old man before it turned into a zombie?”

“Boss, you’re so unbelievably lucky. That was way too close just now.”

“Are you really alright, Boss? Should I call a doctor over?”

Song Xiabing never said a word from the beginning. He watched the little brothers crowd around Shi Qing like he was the moon and they were the stars. Then he watched as the man breathed a sigh of relief after making sure he really wasn’t bitten and shoo away his subordinates like flies.

“Shoo, shoo, shoo. Laozi’s fine. All of you, hurry up and fight the zombies!!”

Then he turned to examine Song Xiabing nervously. “Song Xiabing, are you okay? Were you bitten? You just had to come out even though I told you not to. Why are you always such a pain in the ass...”

The taller man was cursing and swearing, but Song Xiabing’s heart was warm.

Shi Qing...was actually willing to risk his life for me.

Did he really love me to such an extent?

[Ding! Song Xiabing’s animosity value 100/100]

Surprised by this sudden decrease, the System popped out. [Host! You actually did it??!! Wonderful! This is wonderful!]

Shi Qing: [Don’t get too excited yet. There’s still 100 to go.]

The System sang his praises: [Host, you managed to make it drop so drastically in one go and there’s still half a month left. 50 seems more than doable.]

If it had a chest, it would be puffed out proudly.

My Host! Is so badass!

Shi Qingg hummed. [You’re being too optimistic. What goes down must come up.]

The System: [???]

Song Xiabing followed the Blazing Thunder Company back to his room.

He was experiencing a sense of joy that he’s never felt before.

Someone was actually willing to risk their life for him in this world.

He still had many doubts, such as why Shi Qing hated him with such a passion half a month ago, or why there was a rumour going around that Shi Qing was homphobic.

But all of those became unimportant once Shi Qing proved he was willing to risk his life for Song Xiabing.

After some thought, Song Xiabing retrieved a level three crystal nucleus.

He headed outside and approached a random little brother, asking him to go buy some lubricant elsewhere in the base.

Since there was a feast spread out before him, why shouldn’t he indulge?

The little brother didn’t find this request of his strange.

Shi Qing’s basically been glued at the hip to Song Xiabing these days. Their boss guarded this guy even more fiercely than a dragon guarded its pearl.

He even blew a gasket with his own people over this ‘outsider’ before.

Rumours have been circulating around the company for a long time already.

They all said that Song Xiabing was their boss’ lover.

In their eyes, Song Xiabing was just like Daji.

But their boss was no King Zhou of Shang.

Their boss! Was a wise leader!

In the past, the little brothers didn’t dare to talk to Song Xiabing much, for fear of making their boss think they were trying to hook up with their sister-in-law.

But today, this little brother looked at Song Xiabing sympathetically

“Um, Song-ge, you don’t know yet, do you...”

Song Xiabing slightly narrowed his eyes at the little brother’s stammering. “Know what?”

“Um, uh...I heard that a group of prostitutes from the neighboring base came over. There’s a lot of pretty ones. Boss he, he just...”

The youth’s expression gradually twisted. He coldly ordered, “Spit it out!”

The little brother was initially just sympathetic towards him. But for some reason, Song Xiabing’s current expression actually sent a shiver down his spine.

It was almost like the one in front of him wasn’t trash, but a high level agility user.

But that can’t be, ah....

He didn’t think much about it and stammered out, “T-the Boss he...he took a liking to one of the women. Right now he’s doing you know what with her in the west room.”

Song Xiabing’s fists clenched until they shook.

Darkness seemed to gather beneath his eyes.

And in his palm, black mist violently surged.

Shi Qing, who was laughing with the woman in the west room, sensed something. He raised an eyebrow slightly.

[Tong-er?]

The System had no tears left to cry.

[Wuwuwuwu... Song Xiabing’s animosity value: 800/100]
