After Transmigrating, I Saved the Saintly Male Lead
o0o
Ji Anche noticed that Gu Hanzhou seemed to be lost in thought.
Although his gaze was focused on his face, the depths of his pupils were hazy and unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Ji Anche patted his shoulder and frowned, asking, "Gu Hanzhou, did you hear what I said?"
Gu Hanzhou suddenly woke up, a look of panic appearing in his eyes.
His ears turned slightly red, and he pretended to be calm.
"I... I heard it." ?
Why did the male lead blush from time to time?
Ji Anche recalled what he had just said.
He hadn't said anything suggestive.
Why was he blushing again?
Ji Anche felt that something was wrong with the male lead.
"What did I just say?"
"Hmm..."
Gu Hanzhou's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes and murmured:
"You said..."
"You said you wouldn't fall in love."
Ji Anche raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yes, and what else?"
"And..."
Gu Hanzhou raised his eyes, a dazzling smile spreading across his face and brows, his gaze clear and gentle, "Ge, you said you would always be with me."
Ji Anche's expression froze slightly.
Ah? Did he say that?
Although the meaning was similar, why did it sound a little... a little strange coming from the male lead's mouth?
...Was he overthinking things?
Ji Anche looked away and joked, "Hahaha, people who don't know might think we're dating after hearing that."
Gu Hanzhou pursed his lips, "Eum."
Ji Anche lowered his head and continued to eat his strawberry cake.
The rich milky fragrance and sugar granules melted in his mouth, even his heart tinged with sweetness.
"Classmate Gu Hanzhou, I've noticed that you've been overthinking things a lot lately."
"Yes," Gu Hanzhou lowered his eyes and said softly.
Ji Anche picked up his cake fork and pondered seriously, "I've been thinking, and the main reason is that you're usually too free."
"Let's add five more sets of math papers every day from now on."
Gu Hanzhou's expression stiffened slightly: "?"
Ji Anche used his plastic fork to pick up a strawberry and put it in his mouth.
The sweet and sour fruity aroma of the strawberry mixed with the sweet cream was simply wonderful. Ji Anche narrowed his amber eyes contentedly and sighed.
"If that's not enough, I have a lot more comprehensive science papers here, which will definitely cure your habit of overthinking."
Gu Hanzhou's throat felt dry, and his fingertips curled slightly.
Even if he could answer all the questions on one set of college entrance exam math papers, it would still take about forty-five minutes to complete. Five sets would take about two hundred and twenty-five minutes, which was almost four hours.
His current workload was already very heavy, and he had very little free time.
"Good boy, immerse yourself in the vast ocean of mathematics and swim to your heart's content!"
Ji Anche patted his shoulder reassuringly and instructed, "I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to complete the task perfectly."
Gu Hanzhou called softly, "Ge."
Ji Anche bit into his mille-feuille cake with cream and asked, "What's wrong?"
Gu Hanzhou's face was pale, and he forced a smile, "I'm afraid I'll drown in the vast ocean of mathematics."
Ji Anche choked, "Cough cough cough cough cough!"
He took a sip of hot water to swallow the bread stuck in his throat and tried hard to suppress the smile that crept into his eyebrows and eyes, "It's okay, you won't drown. Ge will provide you with humanitarian aid."
"Born a person of mathematics, die a soul of mathematics."
"If it's really unfortunate," Ji Anche seriously and solemnly placed his hand on Gu Hanzhou's shoulder and declared, "Ge will give you a burial with the highest honor."
"After all, you fought for mathematics, fought for dignity, and fought for honor."
The corners of Ji Anche's lips curled up, the smile trying hard to be suppressed, overflowing from his bright amber pupils, like glittering sugar crumbs on a strawberry cake.
Gu Hanzhou clearly hadn't eaten the cake, but it was as if he had tasted the sweetness of the cream cake.
He thought to himself, the sweetness of the cake should be nothing more than this.
Gu Hanzhou agreed as if possessed, "Okay, fight for honor."
Looking at his well-behaved and sensible son, Ji Anche nodded with satisfaction.
So good!
So obedient!
But being a dad was really not something anyone could do. It took too much thought.
A slight itch came from the back of his neck, and Ji Anche reached out to scratch it.
Unexpectedly, he scratched the wound that Gu Hanzhou had just bitten, and sharp pain traveled along the nerve endings.
"Hiss..."
Ji Anche gasped in pain.
He勉强 maintained the calmness on his face, trying to appear nonchalant, but in reality, it almost felt like he was exploding with pain.
In the original world, Ji Anche was quite afraid of pain.
After coming to this world, his body's sensitivity to pain seemed to have increased several levels. Not only did he leave scars very easily, but his tolerance for pain was also particularly poor.
As a tough guy, his hardware was actually so fragile.
Was this reasonable?
Ji Anche felt angry, suffocated, and annoyed, but there was no solution.
Waves of pain continued to spread from the back of his neck.
Damn it, how hard did Gu Hanzhou bite?
It was all Gu Hanzhou's fault!
Ji Anche glared fiercely at Gu Hanzhou.
He turned around angrily to get the ointment from the drawer.
The sound of pulling the drawer was also particularly harsh.
Gu Hanzhou seemed to know that he had done something wrong and followed him meekly, his expression showing obedience and self-reproach, not daring to say a word.
Ji Anche took the ointment and planned to sit on the stool next to him to apply it.
From time to time, he could sense Gu Hanzhou's cautious glances.
Ji Anche hardened his heart and didn't plan to pay any more attention to him.
He unscrewed the cap of the ointment bottle, dabbed some on his fingertip, and wanted to apply it to the wound on the back of his neck.
However, the location of the wound was really inconvenient.
Ji Anche couldn't see where the wound was at all and could only fumble around to apply the ointment.
He didn't want to experience the sharp pain of accidentally touching the wound again.
Ji Anche heavily placed the ointment on the desk and gestured with his eyes, "Come here."
Gu Hanzhou moved the stool next to him, sat down obediently, and asked softly, "Ge, what's wrong?"
Ji Anche simply and directly ordered, "Apply the ointment for me."
"Okay."
Gu Hanzhou took the ointment and stood up to go behind the young man.
Looking down, he could clearly see.
On the white and delicate skin of the young man's nape.
The bite mark was a light pink, a slightly curved crescent shape.
Gu Hanzhou leaned down, dabbed some white ointment on his fingertip, and gently covered the red and swollen area with the cool ointment.
Strands of pain came from the back of his neck, and Ji Anche tightened his brow, angrily saying in exasperation, "Gu Xiaozhou, if you bite me again, I'll add ten extra sets of math papers!"
Gu Hanzhou nodded obediently, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "I promise I won't do it again."
He lowered his head and carefully applied the transparent ointment to the white and delicate skin. The gentle and harmless expression faded away, and desire surged in his eyes.
The corners of his lips slightly curved.
Ten sets of math papers might not be enough.

Arriving at the classroom in the afternoon.
Ji Anche took out five sets of math papers from his drawer and handed them to Gu Hanzhou with a smile, "Work hard on these, I'll check them later."
Gu Hanzhou pursed his lips and reluctantly took the math papers, "Okay."
Li Xiangwen rushed over like a whirlwind, "Ge Che is here! My Ge Che is still as heroic and handsome as yesterday!"
The corners of Ji Anche's lips curved slightly, and he praised, "Good taste."
"Hehe, of course." Li Xiangwen pulled a stool over from the side and sat next to Ji Anche.
"Ge Che, let me tell you a secret." Li Xiangwen leaned close to Ji Anche, his chubby cheeks almost touching Ji Anche's face.
Ji Anche frowned and leaned back uncomfortably, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't get so close to me."
Li Xiangwen sat up straight with a wronged expression, pouting and muttering in a hurt tone, "Then why can Gu Hanzhou get so close to you?"
Ji Anche cleared his throat in a concealing manner, "Is there? You must have seen wrong."
"I didn't see wrong!"
Li Xiangwen's wronged little eyes swept over Ji Anche, and he roared angrily, "I even saw Gu Hanzhou hugging you last time!!!"
Li Xiangwen's voice unconsciously amplified, and almost half the class heard his loud voice.
The students who were studying in the front all turned their heads, their curious gazes shifting back and forth between him and Gu Hanzhou, making it seem like they had some kind of illicit affair.
Ji Anche: "..."
He took a sip of wolfberry tea from his thermos cup, trying hard to suppress the strong urge to beat someone up in his heart.
"Li Xiangwen, what exactly do you want? If there's nothing, get lost."
"There is, there is!" Li Xiangwen smiled mysteriously and whispered, "Ge Che, do you know?"
"It seems Liu Lifei offended some enemies, and his ending was particularly miserable. His legs were even broken."
Ji Anche widened his eyes in surprise.
Liu Lifei had done so many bad things over the years. He had personally broken the male lead's right leg back then, and now his own legs were broken by someone else.
It could be considered karmic retribution.
Ji Anche lowered his head and looked at Gu Hanzhou's right leg.
Gu Hanzhou was now sitting here properly, both his legs intact.
The book described that after the male lead's right kneecap fractured, although he could still barely walk, he could no longer do strenuous exercise, and even the simplest jogging was a luxury, let alone sports like basketball and swimming.
But he clearly remembered that the male lead had originally participated in the men's 3000-meter race and even won first place.
Whenever it rained, the male lead's right leg would experience severe pain.
Even though the male lead had suffered so much pain, Liu Lifei later repented and went to the male lead to apologize. The male lead actually forgave this enemy who had broken his right leg very magnanimously. ??? That was outrageous!!!
What was the use of an apology?
Gu Hanzhou's right leg would never recover.
A belated apology was lighter than dust!
Given the male lead's saintly personality, which was kind to the point of being bottomless, it was completely impossible to expect him to take the initiative to seek revenge. This time, it was probably heaven's will that avenged the male lead.
But they couldn't always rely on luck.
Ji Anche poked Gu Hanzhou's elbow and asked seriously, "If I betrayed you, what would you do?"
Gu Hanzhou's pen tip paused slightly, and he turned to gaze at him, "Ge, are you going to betray me?"
Ji Anche inexplicably felt a trace of danger, and he emphasized, "I'm just talking hypothetically!"
"Hypothetically, if I betrayed you, what would you do?"
Gu Hanzhou pondered for a few seconds, tentatively looking at Ji Anche's expression, and replied.
"Ge, I should forgive you. After all, you're so good to me, I'm already very satisfied. If you do something wrong, I believe you must have some unavoidable difficulties."
How could he forgive?
He liked Ji Anche so much, liked him to the point where he could even cut out his heart and give it to him.
If Ji Anche dared to betray him.
He didn't even know what he would do.
Ji Anche's expression was serious, his voice slightly cold, "What if I had no difficulties?"
"Maybe I just betrayed you purely for profit or money."
The smile on the corner of Gu Hanzhou's lips gradually couldn't be maintained.
He lowered his eyes, not wanting Ji Anche to see the gloom and darkness in his eyes.
His voice was slightly hoarse and dry, "Then I probably wouldn't forgive you."
Ji Anche frowned, "Just wouldn't forgive me?"
"Aren't you angry? Not furious? Not resentful?"
"Don't you want to take revenge on me?"
Gu Hanzhou said in a low voice, "I will be angry."
I will lock you up, and no one will be allowed to see you.
Make you into a beautiful toy, only for my own enjoyment.
He raised his dark eyes, a hint of resentment faintly revealed at the bottom, "I will take revenge on you."
Ji Anche was finally satisfied. If it were anyone else, he definitely wouldn't guide them to produce such negative emotions.
But the male lead was too much of a saint.
This kind of vengeful emotion was more beneficial than harmful for the male lead.
Ji Anche patted the male lead's shoulder with relief, "That's right, never show mercy, never show mercy to anyone. Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself."
Gu Hanzhou's expression was dazed.
This was the first time he had heard such a request.
In the past, after those people made mistakes, they all cried and knelt on the ground, recounting various unavoidable hardships, pitifully begging for his forgiveness.
Ji Anche actually asked him not to be soft-hearted.
It was truly a novel experience.
In gege's heart, how kind was he?
A keen interest appeared in Gu Hanzhou's eyes, and the smile on the corner of his lips carried a pleasant light mockery.
Could pure white flowers really bloom in the soil of malice?
How could it be possible.
Growing up being watered by malice would only make one more terrifying.
Gege was so naive.
So naive... somewhat adorable.

Next to them, Tong Xiaotao quietly leaned close to Li Xiangwen's ear and secretly whispered, "Xiangwen Ge, did you just say you saw Gu Ge hugging Ge Che?"
Li Xiangwen nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Tong Xiaotao covered her mouth, revealing a shy and bashful smile, "Could you describe in detail how Gu Ge hugged Ge Che? I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little curious."
Seeing a pretty girl strike up a conversation with him, Li Xiangwen proudly straightened his back, "Of course, that's easy."
"I not only know how they hugged, I also know how they slept!"
Tong Xiaotao was stunned, "??? So exciting?"
Li Xiangwen was confused and asked blankly, "What's exciting?"
"Nothing, nothing." Tong Xiaotao's cheeks flushed with excitement, and she grabbed Li Xiangwen's sleeve, urging, "Xiangwen Ge, please tell me in detail!"
The class bell suddenly rang.
Li Xiangwen apologized, "I'll tell you in detail after class. Let's go to class first."
"OK! Then we'll chat after class!" Tong Xiaotao hurriedly returned to her seat.
The physics teacher was writing on the blackboard.
Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open.
Liu Lifei sat in a wheelchair, wrapped in bandages all over, with his lackey pushing the wheelchair behind him.
To return to Liu Lifei's seat from the back door of the classroom, one had to pass Gu Hanzhou's seat.
Liu Lifei was like a frightened bird, startled by the slightest noise. When a classmate accidentally dropped his black pen on the ground, it made Liu Lifei's back tremble violently.
Liu Lifei's face turned purplish-blue, and his whole body twitched nervously. Seeing Gu Hanzhou was like seeing a ghost. His throat seemed to be tightly choked, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't say a word.
Li Xiangwen sneered disdainfully, "What's wrong with Liu Lifei again?"
Ji Anche opened his physics book, lowered his head, and wrote notes, "Who cares about him?"
The homeroom teacher suddenly walked into the classroom and instructed, "Classmates Ji Anche, Gu Hanzhou, and Liu Lifei, please come out for a moment."
Ji Anche walked outside in confusion.
Arriving in the corridor, Ji Anche discovered that Tian Junxiong, who had already been expelled from school, was also here.
Tian Junxiong's cheekbones were slightly prominent, and the expression on his face was suppressed to the extreme anxiety.
There were also two strange men.
"Hello, students, I am Officer Wang from the A City Police Station." The strange man in the blue shirt took out a police ID from his chest pocket to prove his identity.
Seeing the police ID, the expressions of the few people varied.
Tian Junxiong's face was ashen, and his thin body trembled uncontrollably.
Liu Lifei curled up in his wheelchair, his teeth gnashing, his pupils shrinking in fear.
Ji Anche secretly guessed that the police had come to the school probably to investigate the theft case of the homeroom teacher's lost phone.
It seemed that the truth was finally about to come out.
The original plot line had already been changed, and the terrible things wouldn't happen again. This time, Liu Lifei hadn't successfully framed the male lead. Instead, more people suspected that Liu Lifei had stolen the homeroom teacher's ten thousand yuan phone.
Officer Wang smiled kindly, "We would like to take up a little of your time. We hope that the students can assist us in investigating a theft case."
Liu Lifei's body couldn't help but tremble, and large drops of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, "I haven't broken the law, why do you want to arrest me?"
"We just want to ask you to assist with the investigation."
Liu Lifei looked terrified and turned his wheelchair, wanting to escape, "I won't go, I won't go! You can't force me!!! I don't want to cooperate with the investigation, go find someone else!"
The two plainclothes policemen understood what was going on when they saw his appearance.
"We received a report from the public that you stole your homeroom teacher Ms. Song Songxiao's mobile phone and resold it to others. Since there is currently conclusive evidence, please come with us."
The two plainclothes policemen were both tall and strong men, very intimidating. Liu Lifei was like a thin and weak chick in front of them, not to mention he was sitting in a wheelchair and couldn't even run away. Liu Lifei cried and begged, "It really wasn't me, you've got the wrong person! You must have the wrong person!"
Officer Wang's face was stern, "Please cooperate with the investigation, otherwise we will have to take compulsory measures."
Liu Lifei let out a hoarse and shrill cry, "I won't go! No one can force me! I want to go home!!!"
Officer Wang exchanged a look with the policeman next to him, "Take him down."
After dealing with Liu Lifei, Officer Wang turned around and said with a kind expression, "Please, the two of you, come with us as well."
"Okay."
Ji Anche took Gu Hanzhou's right hand.
The male lead's hand felt very cold, probably because he was scared.
Indeed, most people would feel afraid in their hearts after seeing the police, even if they hadn't done anything wrong.
Ji Anche leaned close to his ear and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
"We just need to go and make a statement, and later ge will treat you to barbecue, we'll go eat skewers!"
The warmth from the young man's palm was scorching, and his smile was warm and bright.
Gu Hanzhou held Ji Anche's hand back and said softly, "Hmm."
Seeing that these two students were so obedient, Officer Wang also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Tian, Ms. Song, please come with us as well."
o0o
Tong Xiaotao had been thinking about it for the entire class.
Finally, class was over.
Tong Xiaotao hurriedly rushed to Li Xiangwen and asked, "Xiangwen Ge, you still haven't told me how Ge Che and Gu Ge..."
Li Xiangwen asked in confusion, "What?"
Tong Xiaotao desperately winked at him, "How did they sleep?"
"Oh." Li Xiangwen scratched his head and smiled, "They just slept together. Last time I was wandering around their dormitory, I happened to see them sleeping together."
Tong Xiaotao asked, "And then?"
"Huh?" "There was no then."
Tong Xiaotao: "?"
Wasn't "sleep" a verb?!?!
Arriving at the police station.
Officer Wang laid out the key evidence.
"According to the investigation, these are the physical photos and transaction order numbers of the mobile phone you sold online.
Order number: 9217xxx.
Seller: Liu Lifei.
ID number: 140xxx."
After seeing the clearly listed evidence, Liu Lifei completely gave up.
Officer Wang asked, "Why did you say that Gu Hanzhou stole the phone?"
Hearing the three words 'Gu Hanzhou,' Liu Lifei's voice trembled uncontrollably, "I originally wanted to frame classmate Gu, but I regret it now, I know I was wrong."
"Please. Officer Wang, I'm still young, I can't have a criminal record, otherwise my whole life will be ruined! I don't want to go to jail, I don't want to go to the juvenile detention center, sob sob sob."
Officer Wang said, "If you can make amends and provide some additional key evidence, we can consider reducing your punishment."
"I can provide evidence!"
Liu Lifei was delirious and explained anxiously, "The phone was in the office at the time, Tian Junxiong insisted on giving me the phone, he stole it, it's not my fault. This matter has nothing to do with me."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Tian Junxiong was so angry that his face turned red and his neck thickened, "You were the one who begged me to help you get the homeroom teacher's phone! Now you're throwing dirty water on me???"
"Do you think you can fabricate all this with just your mouth? Hehe, let me tell you, I have the recording of our conversation at the time. You can't fool the police."
Tian Junxiong regretted it immensely. He originally wanted to curry favor with Ouyang Wei behind Liu Lifei, but he didn't expect to lose his job and his wife, and didn't get a single penny.
"Officer, please don't believe Liu Lifei. He's a treacherous villain full of lies who can do anything disgusting. If he's not disciplined properly now, he will definitely be a huge threat to social security in the future!"
Liu Lifei's face was livid, "You call me a treacherous villain. Where are you any better?! Embezzling public funds, insulting students. Don't think I don't know you wanted to use me to climb up to Ouyang Wei. Humph, I won't help you make connections, you can dream on."
"Oh, right! I suddenly remembered something! Officer, I want to report something to you!!!" A smug and sinister smile appeared on the corner of Liu Lifei's lips, "Tian Junxiong physically punished students, causing a student to... mmm mmm mmm..."
Tian Junxiong's face was deathly pale, and he hurriedly rushed over to cover Liu Lifei's mouth, "Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about?!"
Officer Wang rushed over and quickly pulled Tian Junxiong away, handcuffing his wrists, "Tian Junxiong, this is the police station, we won't tolerate your lawlessness. Get back to your seat!"
Tian Junxiong was taken back to his seat, his gaze like a cold and venomous snake sticking to Liu Lifei, and he threatened through gritted teeth, "Liu Lifei, you better think carefully about the consequences before you speak."
Liu Lifei shrank back in fear and asked expectantly, "Officer Wang, will it really reduce my punishment if I tell you?"
Officer Wang nodded, "I will report it to my superiors."
Liu Lifei swallowed his saliva, nervously clutching the corner of his clothes, and stammered.
"I also heard about it. Two years ago, Tian Junxiong physically punished a student, causing the student to become severely disabled and unable to get out of bed. Later, the student was forced to drop out of school, and the matter was never resolved in the end. Tian Junxiong, as the perpetrator, did not receive any punishment. Officer Wang, you can investigate, you should still be able to find out about this, I guarantee that every word I said is true."
Officer Wang naturally believed what he said.
Because just yesterday, they received an anonymous report document, and the specific source of the document could not be traced. The document contained video evidence of Liu Lifei and Tian Junxiong stealing the phone, as well as physical photos and transaction order numbers of the transaction with the online store.
The evidence was so detailed that it saved them a lot of investigation time.
Tracing the source, they could easily find out that the ID card bound to the seller's account was indeed Liu Lifei himself.
The document also contained a detailed record of the incident in which Tian Junxiong physically punished a student, causing disability, that year.
They brought Tian Junxiong over this time also because of the incident of physically punishing a student and causing disability.
The truth finally came out.
Officer Wang said coldly, "Tian Junxiong, two years ago, you physically punished a female student surnamed Qi, causing the student's Achilles tendon to rupture and become severely disabled, which is an extremely serious teaching accident. Furthermore, you deliberately concealed the truth and used your power to suppress the victimized student. For this, we will pursue criminal responsibility according to the law."
Tian Junxiong slumped onto the ground with a gray face, as if all the strength in his body had been instantly drained.
It was over, now it was completely over.
He had long studied that such teaching accidents causing disability could not be resolved by just paying compensation, and it was enough to put him in jail for several years.
The matter was settled.
Ji Anche, Gu Hanzhou, and the homeroom teacher finished making their statements.
After understanding the relevant situation, Officer Wang sincerely thanked them, "Thank you for your cooperation, the three of you. We've taken up your class time."
