City: I Started As A Rich Second Generation Villain - Chapter 43: Su Chen’s Social Death Scene

Su Chen felt a wave of sorrow wash over him—his sphincter had ultimately failed him.

The first sound echoed throughout the entire classroom.

The exam had been proceeding in complete silence, with an atmosphere of tension enveloping all the test-takers. But then, a series of soft, rhythmic pfft pfft pfft noises broke the stillness, making it nearly impossible for everyone to keep a straight face.

Still, since it was an exam, no one dared to turn around to look, and no one knew who was responsible.

Only the students around Su Chen knew it was him. They glanced his way, stifling laughter.

But what could anyone do about someone else’s flatulence? They simply covered their noses and mouths and continued working on their papers.

The teacher cleared his throat, and the class gradually regained their composure, returning to their exams.

No one expected Su Chen to continue.

One pfft after another resounded through the room, accompanied by a foul stench that made the nearby students miserable.

If they stopped working, their exam scores would suffer. But if they kept going, they were practically being suffocated by the odor.

Fortunately, Su Chen soon managed to hold it in again, and the smell finally dissipated.

The students around him shot him disgusted looks—their exam results were surely doomed by now.

Su Chen’s face was flushed red with effort. He had slowed his pace on the test, using all his energy to suppress the turmoil in his stomach.

Finally, with only a few questions left, he relaxed slightly—only for his stomach to rebel once more.

He silently chanted to himself: Take it slow, take it slow. Just let out a quiet one.

But he had never heard the saying: never trust a fart when you have diarrhea.

As he eased up slightly, a loud, unmistakable sound erupted, filling the entire classroom.

Su Chen’s face turned as pale as paper. He realized he could no longer hold back at all.

One after another, the pfft pfft pfft sounds continued, almost rhythmically, as if providing background music for the exam.

This finally pushed the entire class over the edge, especially as the foul odor began to spread throughout the room.

The female students rushed out of the classroom in a panic, abandoning everything in their haste to escape the stench—a single whiff was enough to make them feel faint.

Only a few brave souls, who valued their grades more than their dignity, remained behind.

Soon, they realized that only they and Su Chen were left in the classroom—even the teacher had made a swift exit.

As for Murong Wan and Luo Ningyu, they had already handed in their papers early and left with Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing had advised them to answer what they could, skip the difficult questions, and finish as quickly as possible—after all, their grades were already secure in the class.

So they were spared the “honor” of experiencing this uniquely pungent ordeal.

As for Su Chen, he could feel that he had soiled his pants—the mess was even beginning to drip onto the floor.

In a daze, utterly defeated, he stumbled out of the classroom and hurried to the restroom, but the smell clung to him wherever he went.

He was truly in despair.

For the next few days, he would not dare show his face in public. For the first time, he understood what it meant to experience social death.

Su Chen could not figure out what had gone wrong. He was always careful about monitoring his health.

He had not been poisoned, and ordinary laxatives should not have had any effect on him.

He did not know what to suspect. Could it simply be bad food? Su Chen felt utterly lost.

Was it that bottle of water? Or something else? His mind went blank. He had never suffered such a humiliating blow—it felt as though his entire life had turned gray.

However, no matter what, Su Chen would not be stepping outside his home for quite some time.

As he walked down the street, a foul odor still clung to him. Seeing the strange looks from people around him, he could only cover his face and flee back to his rented room.

Gu Junqing watched Su Chen running home from a distance, a slight smile curling at the corner of his lips.

[Ding, the host has caused the protagonist Su Chen to lose face and suffer psychological damage, earning 3000 Villain Points.]

Li Xixue was overjoyed to see Su Chen humiliated so thoroughly.

She quickly bounced over to Gu Junqing.

“What kind of medicine is this? It’s so potent. I heard from my father that Su Chen is a divine doctor.”

“Although I don’t believe his medical skills are that great, he must have some tricks up his sleeve to convince that old fox of a father of mine.”

“Do you have any more of this medicine? Share some with me.”

Li Xixue wore a sly, fox-like smile.

Gu Junqing chuckled and gave her a firm flick on the forehead.

“Do you think I have an endless supply? Well, I’ve avenged you. How are you going to thank me?” Gu Junqing said with a grin, looking every bit like a cunning old fox.

“Ouch, that hurts! Why do you always hit my head? What if I become stupid?” Li Xixue grumbled.

“Don’t worry, you’re not that smart to begin with. Maybe two negatives will make a positive,” Gu Junqing retorted with a sincere expression.

“You… you… Hmph, I won’t bother arguing with you,” Li Xixue snorted.

“Hmph, how should I thank you? Since we’re already besties, why bother with thanks? Isn’t it only natural?” Li Xixue smiled like a sly fox.

“But, to make sure you help me out a few more times, I’ll be generous and thank you this once.”

With that, Li Xixue stood on her tiptoes and gave Gu Junqing a quick, woodpecker-like peck on the cheek.

Then she turned away as if it meant nothing, though her bright red ears gave her away completely.

[Ding, female lead Li Xixue’s favorability toward the host has increased by +20, rewarding 2000 Villain Points.]

Gu Junqing curved his lips into a smile. He had almost been fooled by this girl.

Although Li Xixue had no interest in academics, influenced by her family background, she was quite skilled in palace intrigue and interpersonal relationships.

As the saying goes, low IQ but high EQ.

After all, the Li Family was a prominent clan, and Li Xixue had been immersed in such an environment since childhood. Even a blank sheet of paper would have been stained black.

It was precisely because of her unique talents that, in the original story, she was able to stabilize Su Chen’s harem.

After all, Su Chen’s harem was far larger than even Lin Tian’s.

For Li Xixue to secure the position of head wife in such circumstances, her methods were undoubtedly profound.

Even in the later stages, when Su Chen discovered that his master was a woman and tried to use his feelings for her as leverage, it did nothing to shake Li Xixue’s position as the head wife.

Although Li Xixue had matured a lot by then, even at this point, her tactics and foresight were remarkably deep.

Gu Junqing even suspected that Li Xixue’s decision to join his class might not have been without the intention of using him as a shield.

She likely wanted to leverage the reputation of Young Master Gu to make Su Chen back off on his own.

That explained why Li Xixue had approached him as a best friend from the start, confided in him about her troubles, badmouthed Su Chen, and occasionally flirted with him.

Although Gu Junqing had been used by Li Xixue, he was not the least bit angry. Because he was also using Li Xixue to achieve his own goals, the two of them were essentially equally matched.

Both of their targets were Su Chen; it just so happened that their objectives aligned.

Moreover, a villain and a female lead conspiring together against the protagonist—no matter how you put it, it was somewhat thrilling.

And, to be honest, their collaboration was reminiscent of Ximen Qing and Jinlian scheming against Wu Dalang.

The only pity was that Su Chen did not have a loyal younger brother like Wu Erlang.

However, Su Chen had his martial arts peak before his master appeared—his senior sister, Chen Lingyue.

If she found out that Su Chen had been harmed by him, it was uncertain whether she would seek revenge like Wu Erlang.

But what if Wu Erlang also fell for Ximen Qing?

No, no—wrong plot. It should be: what if Su Chen’s senior sister, Chen Lingyue, also fell for him, Gu Junqing? Now that would make for an interesting show.
