Chapter 4, So Unnatural, So Impure

In the interstellar era, all cheap labor AI robots could handle everything. Although this had made human physical labor uncompetitive to a certain extent, in some places people were still used, such as the waiters at high-end Situlanya Restaurant. That would make Situlanya Restaurant seem retro, distinctive, and classy.

This was one of the few good part-time jobs a student could find.

[But that is not a reason for you to be ignoring proper business and really standing here serving dishes.] Paper airplane said around a straw to Bo Yu.

There were small pieces of watermelon on the table. Paper airplane had a napkin tied on, and was sitting leisurely on the table and chairs prepared for it by the boss who loved pet property rights.

"Give me money, I'll quit right now." Bo Yu reached out his hand.

Paper airplane silently lowered its head and obediently took a sip of watermelon juice.

"So it was you who managed to slip in here. Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

Bo Yu looked at the boy in front of him, who was wearing an arrogant air, and asked curiously, "What am I up to?"

The Situlanya Restaurant opened at school for students. Most of the waiters inside were students from the school working their way through school, but students in extreme poverty like Bo Yu were not qualified.

The waiters here were at least middle class, and every one of them was not short of money.

In the interstellar era, discrimination against the poor was very direct. It was reflected in certain jobs openly reserved for the poor, the poor being excluded from eligibility first.

Because poor people were looked down on and did not dare to reach out for subsidy money, rich people could pretend to be poor, use the student aid subsidy to eat a meal, and working as a waiter at a high-end Situlanya Restaurant to experience life was a trendy way to show off.

"People like you we've seen plenty of, any rich person can...?" The boy with the provocative expression slightly froze when he saw Bo Yu's face clearly.

Bo Yu had not yet reacted when Paper airplane immediately threw off the napkin around its neck and said irritably and coldly: [Then do you know you will get beaten for saying that!]

Bo Yu reached out and stopped Paper airplane. "It's fine, let him keep talking."

"No, isn't that the idea? Who else in the whole school doesn't know what you're after. Everyone, everyone says so."

The tone went from contemptuous and lofty at the start to weak by the end, and the boy's face was a little tense and red. "I, I also heard it. You don't seem quite like what the rumors say."

Bo Yu blinked. "No, I am exactly like the rumors say."

The boy froze.

"It's just what you think. See that Mu Yuesen sitting there? He should be the richest and best-looking person in the whole school. In a moment I'll cling to his thigh, make him become my boyfriend, then slap you all in the face and take revenge."

"Don't, don't joke. How could he take a liking to you..." By the end, the tone was not very firm because of Bo Yu's face.

Bo Yu's expression and tone throughout were very calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was seriously joking or telling the truth. "A normal method won't work, but I'm very scheming. In a moment I'll deliberately spill a drink on him, then use compensation as an excuse to wash his clothes for him, let him see that I am so unconventional and not at all pure, and he will fall in love with me."

The boy listened, dumbfounded. "Th, this can work?"

Bo Yu: "You still don't quite understand people like us. We know best how to move that kind of cold-looking rich person. He won't care whether his friends have money or not. After all, no one is richer than him. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Passing the boy, Bo Yu walked straight toward the drink area.

"Come with me." A girl with a high ponytail suddenly said coldly to Bo Yu. After saying that, she walked toward the staff area, then looked back and signaled for Bo Yu to follow.

Bo Yu tilted his head and let out a light breath, put down his things, and followed her out.

"So it was you who managed to slip in here. Don't think I don't know what you're up to, I've seen plenty of people like you."

A familiar line of dialogue.

Bo Yu and the Paper airplane that had followed over exchanged a look. This time, even Paper airplane could not work up any anger.

"The Mu family is not something a poor person like you can covet, and he won't take a liking to someone like you... I am not insulting you, I, I am doing this for your own good, afraid you'll take the wrong path..."

The corner of Bo Yu's lips lifted slightly in a smile. The smile was soft, his half-lowered gaze clear. "Mm, thank you, but you also know that a poor person like me, in order to achieve my goal, will stop at nothing. I have done a lot of homework. He is not the kind of person who cares whether you have money, he likes that kind of person who can see through the lonely soul beneath his coldness. In a moment I'll walk up to him, confess frankly and sincerely, and the burning love will melt and move him."

"You... you... you really are going to... will doing this be useful?"

"Someone as cold as him is most easily moved by a kind, pure, soft, and cute little sun. No matter how unpleasant the things he says are, just keep telling him on your own, Mu Yuesen, I understand you, no matter what you say I actually know, you are not actually that kind of person, only I know the real you. Although on the surface he may be all words and no action, sneering at it, he will definitely be moved in his heart. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Bo Yu said with a smile, then turned and passed her, walking out. The soft smile vanished without a trace as he turned.

...

Inside Situlanya Restaurant.

Mu Yuesen, who was sitting at the center of Situlanya Restaurant, was eating with complete concentration, and the diners around him were all looking at him, to be precise, at the conflict happening beside him.

A boy whose looks were at least 19 points was being covered over the mouth by a bodyguard and dragged out.

While wiping glassware, Bo Yu said in a livestream-like tone with calmness: "In the short span of less than fifteen minutes, three men and women in succession tried hard to cling to that future crippled big boss's thigh but failed. Including but not limited to, provocative challenges using the tsundere route, direct confessions, and deliberate collision scams using the white lotus route. But apart from the first one, the latter two all ended with being dragged out by bodyguards, and were warned not to appear here again, otherwise they would be submitted to the school board and expelled for malicious harassment."

[Making a tall and strong boy act like a white lotus, making an heroic girl act like a dumb and sweet innocent, you've really got something. With this kind of ancient melodramatic idol drama trope, isn't failure normal? But how do you know they would do it themselves after listening to you?]

"Although people who usually make random guesses that others are vain, want to cling to rich people, and have crooked values, actually want to do that themselves even more, them doing it has nothing to do with me at all. I am the victim, the victim whose ideas were plagiarized twice in a row."

Paper airplane: [Then you didn't seize the chance to go forward and save the day, to score some favor?]

"He is paying the bodyguards, not me."

Just as everything returned to calm, in the quiet Situlanya Restaurant someone suddenly said loudly, "It was Bo Yu who taught them to do this! The scheming person who wanted to cling to a rich thigh is the real green tea, Bo Yu!"

Everyone looked toward Bo Yu, including the boss of Situlanya Restaurant, and the expressionless, low-pressure Mu Yuesen, who had been harassed all morning.

The one shouting was a soft and cute little boy, his eyes radiating the light of justice and purity. "It was him who instigated them, sentence by sentence, to do this. I heard it all myself the whole time."

Paper airplane: [Fuck, it flipped. I actually didn't notice someone following and eavesdropping.]

Bo Yu: Fuck, it flipped. I actually didn't notice someone following and eavesdropping.

"Bo Yu, why are you framing a colleague?" the boss of Situlanya Restaurant said unhappily.

"I didn't." Bo Yu denied it with a face full of innocence.

"I have a recording." The little boy came prepared and immediately played the recording.

Recording--

"See that Mu Yuesen sitting there? He should be the richest and best-looking person in the whole school. In a moment I'll cling to his thigh, make him become my boyfriend, then one by one slap you all in the face and take revenge..."

Everyone looked at Mu Yuesen, the richest and best-looking person in the whole school, who had a blank expression.

"... I'm very scheming. In a moment I'll deliberately spill a drink on him, then use compensation as an excuse to wash his clothes for him, let him see that I am so unconventional and not at all pure, and he will fall in love with me."

Everyone looked at the scheming green tea Bo Yu, whose face was calm and revealed no emotion.

"... You still don't quite understand people like us. We know best how to move that kind of cold-looking rich person. He won't care whether his friends have money or not. After all, no one is richer than him. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Everyone looked at the cold and rich Mu Yuesen.

"... You also know that a poor person like me, in order to achieve my goal, will stop at nothing. I have done a lot of homework. He is not the kind of person who cares whether you have money. He likes that kind of person who can see through the lonely soul beneath his coldness. In a moment I'll walk up to him, confess frankly and sincerely, and the burning love will melt and move him."

Everyone looked at... everyone's necks were a little sore, and they all raised their hands to rub them at the same time, not knowing who they should look at to avoid missing this wonderful performance.

"... Someone as cold as him is most easily moved by a kind, pure, soft, and cute little sun. No matter how unpleasant the things he says are, just keep telling him on your own, Mu Yuesen, I understand you, no matter what you say I actually know, you are not actually that kind of person, only I know the real you. Although on the surface he may be all words and no action, sneering at it, he will definitely be moved in his heart. If you don't believe it, just wait and see."

Because two employees in a row had done something that harassed customers, the boss of Situlanya Restaurant was already very upset. Now that he knew it was all Bo Yu's doing, he immediately looked at Bo Yu furiously. "You still won't admit it?"

Bo Yu looked at everyone. His half-lowered eyes were calm and unruffled, frank and innocent. He said to the boss, "I was only joking with them privately. Since everyone heard the recording, although it was edited, they should still be able to hear it. I only said I planned to do it myself. I did not ask, threaten, or诱ce anyone to do it."

Everyone: "..."

This was true.

"But they did this because of the implication in your words! Most importantly, the customer thereby suffered unprovoked harassment, and that is also an established fact." The little boy was not fooled, his logic firm.

Bo Yu nodded and looked at him calmly. "Well said. Then, since you heard the whole thing and were wise enough to record it, of course you knew about my scheme, and you also knew that the customer was about to be harassed. So why didn't you stop them in advance, or tell the boss?"

The little boy was left speechless, completely not expecting him to give up resistance and turn around to ask him instead: "I, I..."

Bo Yu looked at the little boy and nodded, his face showing no expression, and said calmly, "I think, of course you were not trying to swoop in afterward, to show off your intelligent and unique personal charm and move Mu Yuesen. Rather, like me, you were trying to drive away a competitor and keep your job at Situlanya Restaurant."

The little boy hurriedly nodded. "Yes, yes, that's right. We were completely acting out of legitimate workplace competition!"

Bo Yu looked at the boss. "Boss, we did this all for you, to get your high-paying job, which is why we schemed against each other and fought in secret."

The boss looked at that handsome and breathtakingly beautiful face, those black, bright, and clear eyes looking at him calmly, unable to tell any emotion. Hearing those words, this is for you, for getting you, even though he knew it was a matter of sentence breaks, his little heart was still thumping wildly, and a wave of fatal dizziness hit him.

The Paper airplane on the side gave a nimble little glance and immediately followed Bo Yu in looking pitifully at the boss: [Boss, scheming is also for you, give him another chance!]

Author's note: A green tea with a breathtakingly sculpted handsome face, but half-lowered eyes, a calm poker face, and a talent for reverse brainwashing with the tone of seriously telling cold jokes. Come and take a look.

For now, no one is worthy of setting off his dimensionality-reduction face attack~
