Everyone Knows I’m a Good Person-Chapter 112.2
Chapter 112.2
Editor: Casey
“You– Wait a minute, wait a minute.” Cheng Yunling was really confused, “You mean, you’re asking me how to make a person like you?”
Shi Qing had an arrogant expression. “Wasn’t I clear enough before? Tell me how already.”
“That’s not it.” Cheng Yunling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “I’m not some kind of love expert. How would I know?”
“How did you get a boyfriend so fast if you didn’t know? You two are already so close this quickly, even feeding each other. That’s right, I saw it all.”
The young man’s face seemed to say, ‘don’t try to bluff me’. He urged, “Come on, tell me how you and him got together.”
Cheng Yunling: “……”
Was he talking about them feeding each other? That just happened in the heat of the moment because she was infected by Shi Qing’s elementary school chicken childishness.
But seeing how the face of the young man in front of her seemed to say ‘I won’t let you off’, she could only explain how she and her boyfriend got together.
The summary was that she already had a crush on him before, so she just went and confessed to him when Shi Qing agreed to let her go if she wasn’t single.
It was a coincidence that her boyfriend also had feelings for her. Thus, they hit it off like a fated pair.
Now that she was thinking about it, she really had to thank Shi Qing. If he didn’t act like an elementary school chicken, Cheng Yunling wouldn’t have had the courage to confess to her crush.
After listening to Cheng Yunling’s brief description, Shi Qing looked pensive.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Yunling cautiously said, “Sooo, I’ll go back first if there’s nothing else. My boyfriend is still waiting for me.”
“No. Not yet.”
Shi Qing yanked her back.
The young master looked indignant and very upset: “Who let you deliberately flaunt your love in front of me like that just now? If you don’t help me think of a plan, don’t even think about smooching that boyfriend of yours!”
Cheng Yunling: “Uh, Young Master Shi, I did as you commanded and got a boyfriend. How can you still not let me go? I’ve told you how I’ve gained five pounds already. I won’t take another bite this time even if you put a knife to my neck!”
Ripping out the nails and cutting through steel!
Full of confidence!
Shi Qing smiled cruelly: “I won’t force you to eat anymore. Instead, I’ll arrange lots of good opportunities for you and your boyfriend. While you’ll be filming in the east for half a year, he’ll be sent to the west. If I can’t get a boyfriend, let’s see how you two will handle a long-distance relationship.”
Cheng Yunling: …What a vicious threat.
Elementary school chickens weren’t usually scary.
Not unless they had power as well like this guy.
What sins had she committed in her previous life to have such an elementary school chicken torment her in this one?
So she compromised.
“Then I’ll try my best. Young Master Shi, tell me who you… Wait, boyfriend??”
Cheng Yunling, who just realized Shi Qing had said he wanted a boyfriend, jolted.
“Tch.”
Still with a disdainful expression that made people want to punch him, Young Master Shi snorted coldly, “You sound like a country bumpkin.”
After realizing that Shi Qing was serious, Cheng Yunling’s grievances from Shi Qing’s ‘cruel treatment’ over the past few days seemed to dissipate in an instant.
No wonder Shi Qing could be so cruel as to use high-calorie food to deal with a beautiful girl like her, it was because he liked men.
She had met all kinds of people in the entertainment industry, so Shi Qing’s orientation didn’t bother her. She skipped past that and asked.
“So this guy you like, is he straight?”
Shi Qing: “I don’t know.”
Cheng Yunling: “It’s usually easy to tell. Like has he ever had a girlfriend or a boyfriend?”
Shi Qing: “No, he’s always been single.”
Cheng Yunling rubbed her chin.
So he seems to be a rather innocent type…
Makes sense. Isn’t that how it goes in all the books?
The most popular type for a rich young man like Shi Qing was the pure-hearted type.
Cheng Yunling continued to ask, “Then is he close to you?”
The young man again raised his chin proudly, very pleased with himself: “Of course we’re close, we live together.”
Cheng Yunling: “…You two live together?”
What?? Then what are you asking me for???
As expected, Young Master Shi’s previously smug expression faded. He gave Cheng Yunling a rather disgruntled look, gloomily saying, “Just living together. Nothing else.”
Cheng Yunling: Tsk tsk tsk.
As they say, love makes you blind. Even a spoiled young master like Shi Qing was willing to rent to be with the person he liked.
Having acted in several idol dramas, Cheng Yunling immediately thought up a delicately beautiful (was that Young Master Shi’s type), pure (never been in a relationship before), and poor (why else would he need a roommate) bishounen.
She’s even thought of a title: “Overbearing Young Master Shi’s Cinderella Boy”.
This title was sure to be a hit!
Luckily, Cheng Yunling didn’t go too off-track. She got down to business.
“So when you two live together, have you ever come into physical contact? Like touching hands or legs? How does he react? Does he shy away or not notice it at all?”
According to Cheng Yunling’s (nonexistent) experience, the more straight a guy was, the more he wouldn’t mind contact with other males.
He would even sometimes initiate contact as part of a joke.
If that guy shied away, then she was 80% sure that the pure and poor bishounen also had some feelings for Shi Qing.
The youth in front of her was deep in thought. He counted on his long and pale fingers.
“He’s ruffled my hair a lot, tucked me in, fed me fruits… Oh, and I’ve fed him too. Does that count as close?”
With his descriptions, an image immediately appeared in Cheng Yunling’s mind.
A bishounen warmly smiled as he ruffled Shi Qing’s locks. With his other hand, he delivered a piece of fruit to the youth’s mouth. Shi Qing reciprocated in kind. When it was time for bed, Shi Qing obediently laid in bed and closed his eyes, allowing the bishounen to tenderly tuck him in.
What a beautiful fairy tale romance.
Cheng Yunling was more than sure. “He definitely has feelings for you.”
The youth was taken aback. His beautiful eyes lit up. “Really?!”
Cheng Yunling couldn’t help but be happy for him, seeing how delighted Shi Qing was. She nodded confidently again. “Really. A straight guy wouldn’t always ruffle another guy’s hair, much less feed him fruit or tuck him in. Since he did that to you, he’s definitely interested.”
As she spoke, Cheng Yunling sighed in her mind.
Sigh. A man doing these things for another man.
This bishounen might be secretly pining after Shi Qing as well.
Just like my boyfriend and I.
Neither of us knew until we confessed.
Cheng Yunling urged Shi Qing, “Young Master Shi, if you doubt what I’m saying, just go and confess to him. That way you’ll know for sure, right?”
The joy on Shi Qing’s face gradually faded, replaced with worry. “I can’t. What if he doesn’t like me? What if he kicks me out after I confess?”
A young master like him can’t afford to rent a room?
Look how insecure love can make you.
Cheng Yunling sighed again. Even someone as arrogant and conceited as Shi Qing was afraid of being rejected by the one he loved.
Sigh. Even though he’s an elementary school chicken, his heart isn’t particularly bad. He’s a pretty pitiful little chicken troubled by love, ah.
[Ding! Cheng Yunling’s animosity value: 60/100]
Cheng Yunling: “How about this. You can test the waters instead of immediately asking him out.”
Young Master Shi blinked blankly. His sheltered upbringing seemed to have caught up with him.
Perhaps due to the circumstances, his voice even became softer.
“How should I do that? Teach me. If you help me now, I’ll definitely pay you back.”
He was naturally beautiful, with delicate features, plush red lips, and white teeth. After reining in his overbearing attitude, he was the kind of person motherly types liked to fawn over.

[Ding! Cheng Yunling’s animosity value: 55/100]
People treated others differently depending on their appearance. When she saw Shi Qing’s nervous and timid expression on his pretty face, Cheng Yunling’s previous grievances disappeared like her food.
Chomp and it’s gone.
She thumped her chest. “It’s simple. Just do what I say. When you two are sitting together, reach over and hold his hand. Make sure to, you know, interlock your fingers. Then watch how he reacts.”
Shi Qing hesitated. “Is this considered testing the waters? It seems more like an outright confession to me.”
“You have to go one step at a time. If he reacts badly to holding hands, just say you were joking around.”
Shi Qing: “Will he believe that?”
“That’s why you need an excuse.”
Cheng Yunling confidently patted herself again. “How about this? Considering we get along pretty well, I’ll go with you to meet him. If he gets too out of hand, I’ll play along by laughing when you say it’s just a joke. With me there on your side, he’ll definitely believe you.”
The main reason she was acting so confident was because she wanted to see what kind of bishounen could possibly move an arrogant young master like Shi Qing.
He was definitely a pure little cutie with pale and tender skin who would blush every two sentences.
Cheng Yunling’s idea really seemed failproof. As expected, Young Master Shi agreed with a determined expression after a moment of consideration.
“Okay, we’ll go with your plan!”
He regained his confidence. “Don’t worry. I won’t forget you doing me a favour. I’ll definitely have the company treat you and your boyfriend well.”
Cheng Yunling’s eyes brightened. She didn’t try to reject this. After all, she earned this opportunity through her own hard work!
“Don’t worry Young Master. This will definitely make things clear! I’ll do my best to assist you.”
“Alright. Let’s head back then.”
Cheng Yunling thought that Shi Qing was telling her to go and get her boyfriend. She happily nodded. “Okay!”
So the two returned to the table.
Just as Cheng Yunling got ready to leave with her bag, she saw the youth sit right in the seat that her boyfriend just vacated, the one beside President Tan. Then Shi Qing immediately reached for the man’s big hand…
Interlocking all ten fingers too.
Cheng Yunling: “???”
She stared blankly from her spot. Shi Qing’s previous words came to mind.
Ruffling hair, feeding fruit, and tucking him into bed…
Normally, a man wouldn’t do such things for another man.
But what if it was an uncle taking care of his nephew?
Cheng Yunling: “……”
Oh! My! Fucking! God!
“Thump!”
The man that used to be smiling when he saw Shi Qing sit by him froze as his hand was held. The glass in his other hand fell onto the table.
Water slowly flowed out, drenching the table.
His heart thudded as he looked at Shi Qing with a complicated but warm gaze.
Finally, the man recovered and opened his mouth. “Shi–”
Shi Qing immediately yanked his hand back. “Hahahahahahahaha it’s just a joke.”
“Cheng Yunling said this would be really funny hahahahahahahahahaha!!!”
Saying that, he turned to the befuddled Cheng Yunling and raised his eyebrows and urged quietly:
“Why aren’t you laughing?! Hurry up and laugh!!”
Cheng Yunling: “…Ha, haha……”
She felt like she was on the brink of death.
The image of the pure and cute Cinderella boy in her head was shattered into pieces by Tan Mingjin, whose entire body was emitting black smoke…
