Wish to Get Rich But Wear a Scumbag A - Chapter 34

After cycling back near their lodging, Qi Xingwan first returned the bicycle next door while Yan He went to pick up their assigned tasks.

They split up to save time.

Du Yihan and He Jiamu screeched to a halt beside her just as they were borrowing a bike to leave.

“Xingwan, what kind of tasks does the school have? Are they difficult?”

“Not really. One is serving meals to students, and the other is helping students choose performance pieces for their graduation ceremony.”

“Sounds easy enough! Mu Mu, let’s finish quickly and get back to our A-grade room!”

Qi Xingwan stopped He Jiamu, cautioning, “The children… might say some unfiltered things. Don’t take it to heart, you and Director Han.”

He Jiamu nodded in agreement. “What performance piece did you choose?”

At this, Qi Xingwan’s expression turned peculiar. “I didn’t choose it…”

“I chose ‘Blooming All the Way’!” Yan He dashed over, wedging herself between Qi Xingwan and the others. “I figured if they get into university, they’ll have to make a video of it sooner or later anyway. Might as well start learning it young! Even if they don’t get in, they can still become content creators!”

He Jiamu: “???”

Du Yihan quietly tugged at Qi Xingwan’s sleeve and asked bluntly, “Has she lost her mind?”

“I…” Qi Xingwan began.

“Didn’t you tell them?” Yan He interrupted the Female Lead before she could finish. “I bumped my head getting up to pee the other night—it hurt so bad! You girls really need to turn on the lights when you get up at night!”

Du Yihan: “???”

Qi Xingwan: “……” It’s not easy being her. She even knows that being drunk on a livestream sets a bad example.

Actually, there’s this thing called a motion-sensor light. Doesn’t the Eldest Miss have those at home?

Motion-sensor lights are a scam! I can press my face right against the bulb and it won’t turn on, but a mosquito zips past and it lights up instantly!

Sisters, you can buy small, floor-mounted ones.

So the Eldest Miss has to go to the bathroom herself too!

Noob question: If the Eldest Miss gets constipated, does she call her doctor friend to give her an enema?

Does the butler stand by and say, “This is the Eldest Miss’s first time being constipated”?

Are rich people’s toilets really made of gold?

Getting up to pee in the middle of the night? Does Yan He have a weak bladder or is she just weak?

Kids choose one or the other. The Eldest Miss wants both.

Yan He: “Excuse me, where are your manners?”

Oh my god, Xinxin finally finished cleaning those glass jars at the old lady’s house! I was about to fall asleep…

Warm congratulations to Ke Wenxin & Li Jin for completing their second mission!

Already looking forward to seeing how the Eldest Miss will help with housework. Dog head emoji.

When Qi Xingwan learned that one of her tasks was to clean the home of an elderly person living alone, she grew deeply worried.

Du Yihan and He Jiamu, who spent the entire year traveling across the country, were undoubtedly the most skilled team when it came to practical tasks.

Zhou Yunuo had been able to roast melon seeds with a large shovel since childhood, making small household chores a breeze. Mu Xu was also highly capable.

Ke Wenxin and Li Jin’s struggles with housework were purely due to bad luck. The elderly person they were assigned to help had numerous bottles and jars covered in layers of stubborn, years-old grime. Lacking proper techniques, they could only scrub relentlessly.

Considering all this, Qi Xingwan began to wonder where she would be sleeping that night.

“What’s wrong?” Yan He asked, grabbing the towel hanging around her neck to wipe away sweat. Noticing the Female Lead’s furrowed brow, she quickly pressed the towel against Qi Xingwan’s face. “Are you feeling unwell? Go get some fresh air; I’ll keep an eye on things here.”

Yan He’s back was drenched in sweat, the dark patch on her shirt steadily expanding. To cool down, she had rolled up her pant legs and paired the towel around her neck with a damp cloth pressed against her forehead, creating a striking visual contrast.

Qi Xingwan hesitated, then said, “Stay away from the stove.”

Who gets closer to a heat source when they’re already hot? Aren’t you afraid of getting burned?

It was hard to imagine this was the same Yan He who would call for a doctor over a minor scratch.

“It’s fine. I’m just watching to make sure it doesn’t burn. Why don’t you go wash your face?” Yan He took the towel from her neck and offered it to Qi Xingwan.

“No need, I’m not sweating that much,” Qi Xingwan replied gently, careful not to hurt Yan He’s fragile feelings.

She didn’t know how to explain to Yan He that under the same temperature, one person could be drenched in sweat while the other merely felt warm, without a single bead of perspiration on their face.

Yan He cast her an envious glance. “They always say becoming a big star isn’t something ordinary people can do. They’re right.”

Whether in the original world or this ABO world, the celebrities on screen never seemed to sweat. Even in the sweltering summer heat, wearing thick period costumes, their faces remained perfectly dry—truly photogenic deities.

As the Female Lead, Qi Xingwan naturally possessed the special skills expected of a major star.

While she barely perspired, Yan He was drenched in sweat. After a moment’s thought, Qi Xingwan decided to be honest. “What I mean is, go find a cold water basin and wring out the towel for me. If I don’t wash my face soon, I’ll turn into Director Han.”

Director Han… Qi Xingwan chuckled abruptly, grabbing the towel and heading out. “Then you should definitely go get some fresh air. Don’t want to end up pickling the melon seeds in your sweat.”

Qi Xingwan’s Favorability +10

Yan He: “???”

Yan He mentally called out to the System:  Xiao Qi! Is the System malfunctioning or has the Female Lead lost her mind?

I advise you to be polite,</i 007 replied. <iThe System can’t be malfunctioning, and neither can the Female Lead.

 Then I can’t be malfunctioning either!  Yan He retorted.

I’ve already convinced myself to be the Female Lead’s dog. What could possibly go wrong now?!

 I get it now,  Yan He realized.

Qi Xingwan likes things that stink!

007’s interface glitched into a jumbled mess of code. It couldn’t comprehend human logic.

Why is she laughing? Scared cat emoji.

Qi Xingwan actually went to wipe this Alpha’s fur with a towel? I thought they were the divorce squad?

Oh my god, I’m starting to ship them! Spoiled Eldest Miss & Gentle Best Actress!

Honestly, Xuxu and Nono’s divorce vibes were stronger than this pair. (Don’t hate, just my opinion. Feel free to delete if you disagree.)

Thank you for wishing my OTP would get married! If Xuxu and Nono are secretly already married, I’ll give you a huge red envelope!

Holy crap, Yan He is stealing sunflower seeds! Is the Eldest Miss’s upbringing really this bad?!

That’s called sampling! Can’t the boss see her standing right there?

I’m telling Qi Xingwan’s fans to stop being ridiculous. You’ve been harassing her since the official announcement. If you’re so bold, make your idol divorce her. Otherwise, shut up.

It’s not us. We’ve already united to treat that person like an invisible wall.

Seriously, it’s not my fandom. Please check our profiles before accusing us.

Hurry to Director Han’s livestream! She’s so cool!

That brat is a total kid boss. One three-pointer and she had all the little hellions eating out of her hand.

Why are kids these days so obsessed with glands and pheromones? I remember when we were younger, everyone had much more restraint…

Times have changed. Back then, only a few students in each grade would differentiate. Now, parents are pushing their kids to differentiate into Alphas or Omegas.

Alphas and Omegas are just stronger than Betas. Even with the heat cycles and rut periods, the enhancements from differentiation are worth it.

Director Han is a proper Alpha. Unlike someone who just stood by recording while a bunch of kids harassed his Omega.
