[ID: A series of photographed excerpts from Scum Villain's Self-Saving System volume 4.
“How far has your relationship progressed?”
“We’ve done all the things we should have, and some things we shouldn’t,” said Shen Qingqiu.
“Where do your dates often take place?”
Shen Qingqiu rested his chin on his hand. “The moment I open my eyes, I see him. And when I close my eyes, he’s still the one I see in my dreams. Does that mean we’re on dates all the time?”
“What things does your partner do that make you feel helpless?”
Shen Qingqiu shrugged and said weakly, “Whenever he starts to cry, there’s nothing I can do.”
“Whenever Shizun gets mad, I’m unable to do anything.”
Shang Qinghua hummed in acknowledgment, bouncing his leg. He wrote it down while roasting them in his heart: They really are exactly like a kindergartner and his teacher!
Shang Qinghua shrugged. “My bad. How did you make up afterward?”
Shen Qingqiu waved his hand. “We boned to save the world!”
“What sort of agreements do you have about [beep—]ing?”
“If it hurts, he has to tell me,” said Luo Binghe. “He absolutely has to!”
“No crying allowed!” said Shen Qingqiu.
“Say, have you guys misunderstood the implication behind the word ‘agreement’?” asked Shang Qinghua.
“If a good friend said to you, ‘I’m very lonely, so just for tonight, would you…’ and asked to be intimate, would you agree?
“I don’t have such shameless friends,” Luo Binghe said indifferently. “I don’t need friends.”
Head lowered, Shen Qingqiu scraped at the tea leaves in his cup, then took a sip. “I also don’t have such friends.”
“Really?” Luo Binghe said doubtfully. “Liu…Liu-shishu wouldn’t say that kind of thing?”
Tea sprayed all over the floor.
Shang Qinghua, who’d had his upper body sprayed with tea, had gone to change his clothes and returned, and now continued his questions. “Do you think you’re good at sex? What about your partner?”
Shen Qingqiu let out a dry laugh. Luo Binghe looked on the verge of tears. End ID]
