Chapter 153: I Am An Evil Pen (X)

---

TL: Resonance

    闻景戎最近养成了笔不离手的习惯，办公的时候玩笔，喝咖啡的时候玩笔，看报刊的时候玩笔，顺便和他的笔讨论一下时事新闻，吃饭的时候将他的笔放在碗边下菜，上厕所的时候还会带着他的笔玩九宫填数……

Wen Jingrong has recently developed a habit of his pen not leaving his hand. He played with his pen while he was working, drinking coffee or reading the newspaper. He also discusses current affairs with his pen. When he was eating, he would place the pen beside his bowl. When he goes to the toilet, he would bring his pen along to play sudoku.

    秘书觉得他的上司得了严重的恋笔症，每次不小心看到他和自己的笔聊人生就觉得三观尽毁。闻总身边不是有一个美得冒泡的男朋友吗？赶紧过来拯救一下啊！

The secretary feels that his boss has a severe love illness for pens. Everytime he accidentally sees Wen Jingrong chatting about life with his pen, he always feels that his three views are getting destroyed. Didn’t president Wen have an extremely beautiful boyfriend? Quickly come and save him!

    “闻总，新厂房那边已经安排妥当，一次可以招纳200人进行培训。”秘书一板一眼地汇报，视线却不自觉地落到闻景戎手上那支笔上。

“President Wen, the arrangement at the new factory has been made. They can take in 200 people for training each time.” The secretary reported in a systematic manner, but his line of sight landed on the pen in Wen Jingrong’s hand unconsciously.

    闻景戎点点头，在文件下方签上名字，然后吩咐道：“这里是人员名单，你派人通知他们，愿意参加培训的，我们都无条件接纳。”

Wen Jingrong nodded his head and signed on the lower end of the document. Then, he commanded, “This is the name list. Send someone to inform them. We will accept all of the people who wish to participate in the training unconditionally.”

    “好的。”秘书接过名单后便离开办公室。

“Okay.” The secretary left the office after receiving the name list.

    “你觉得怎么样？”闻景戎看向正在他茶杯中游泳的拇指尚可。

“What do you think?” Wen Jingrong looked towards the thumb-sized Shang Ke who was swimming in his cup.

    “棒棒哒。”尚可一边惬意地仰泳，一边给他男人点了个赞。

“Very good.” Shang Ke swam backstroke comfortably while giving his man a thumbs up.

    闻景戎打量自己的杯子，装一个可可就没剩多少空间了，根本游不开。所以第二天，他让人买了一个鱼缸摆在桌上。

We Jingrong looked at his own cup. It didn’t have much space left after having Shang Ke in it. Shang Ke had no space to swim at all. Hence, he bought a fish tank the next day and placed it on his table.

    尚可蹲在鱼缸旁，看着里面畅游的金鱼，突然对身后的男人说：“闻景戎，能不能和你商量一件事？”

Shang Ke crouched next to the fish tank and looked at the goldfish swimming inside. He said to the man behind him, “Wen Jingrong, can we discuss something?”

    “什么？”闻景戎的视线不着痕迹地在他和鱼缸之间游移，暗道他今天不游泳吗？“泳池”已经扩大了几倍，还是透明的……

“What?” Wen Jingrong’s gaze wandered between the fish tank and Shang Ke without a trace and thought: Is he not swimming today? The “pool” has already been expanded many times bigger and is also transparent… 

    “不要养金鱼，我们养乌龟吧，乌龟好养。”还能骑乘什么的。

“Let’s not raise goldfish but turtle instead. Turtles are easy to raise.” I can even ride on it.

    “好。”闻景戎宠溺地应道。

“Okay.” Wen Jingrong replied dotingly.

    正在两人愉快地过着非一般的二人世界时，却收到了一个坏消息。

Just when they were happily enjoying their own unordinary lives, they received bad news.

    警方找到了三名纵火凶手，确切地说，是找到了他们的尸体，线索在他们身上全部中断了。

The police found three arsonists. To be more exact, they found their bodies. All the clues ended with them.

    但如今基本可以肯定，此次事件绝对不是什么报复社会的随机行为，而是明确冲着闻景戎而来。

But they are basically certain now. This incident was definitely not a random act due to someone wanting to have revenge on society. It was clearly targeting Wen Jingrong.

    闻景戎此刻自然不会将这件事与尚可联系起来，毕竟尚可身份特殊，与外界没有什么恩怨纠葛。闻景戎只能从自身寻找线索，方向完全错误，更不会想到这件事只是某人一时泄愤之举。

Naturally, Wen Jingrong wouldn’t have thought that this incident was linked with Shang Ke. After all, Shang Ke’s identity was special and didn’t have much association with the world. Wen Jingrong could only find clues starting with himself which was completely in the wrong direction. He also wouldn’t guess that this incident was actually just someone venting his anger.

    如此平静过去一个月，尚可积攒的煞气，足够让他“长大成人”，只是他并没有立刻雄起，依然只在梦中与闻景戎缠绵悱恻。但经常性的梦遗，却让闻景戎苦不堪言，床单洗了一条又一条，都快没地方晒了。

One month passed by calmly just like this. The negative energy that Shang Ke has accumulated was enough for him to “grow up”, but he didn’t do so immediately. He continued being entangled with Wen Jingrong only in his dream. However, the frequent dreams were making Wen Jingrong feel miserable. His bed sheets were washed one after another, he was running out of place to dry them.

    尚可心疼他男人，于是不再频繁出现在他梦中，以免他脱精而亡。

Shang Ke felt distressed for his man. Hence, he didn’t appear in Wen Jingrong dream as frequently as before in case Wen Jingrong died due to excessive sperm loss.

    闻景戎暴躁地表示：我宁愿脱精，也不能忍受饥渴！

Wen Jingrong expressed himself irritably: I would rather lose my sperm than bear the thirst!

    直到半个月后，尚可名单上的无业者，在闻景戎的帮助和自己的努力下，基本都得到了新工作，人数超过一千人，顺利达到任务指标。

Half a month later, the unemployed people on his name list were able to find a new job with his hard work and the help of Wen Jingrong. The number exceeded 1000 and Shang Ke successfully achieved the mission requirement.

    【恭喜宿主完成主线任务——解决一千名无业游民、下岗职工、退伍军人或刑满释放人员的就业问题。奖励滞留时间三年。特别提醒，主线任务的英勇值不足30%，请宿主尽可能英勇地完成附加任务，否则很可能拿不到回溯之匙。】

【Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Solve the Work Problems of 1,000 Unemployed Travellers, Laid-off Workers, Veterans or Ex-Prisoners. The reward is three years of detain time. A special reminder, the heroic value of the main mission is less than 30%. Host, please try your best to complete the additional mission heroically. Otherwise, you might not be able to obtain the return card.】

    尚可对此无话可说，作为一支艰难求生的煞笔，他在这个世界的表现确实很“煞”。主线任务的完成，也多依赖于闻景戎。

Shang Ke had nothing to say about this. As an evil pen who was struggling to survive, his performance in this world is indeed very “evil”. He had mostly depended on Wen Jingrong to complete his main mission.

    【附加任务1——五个月后，庆威建业的工地将会发生一场重大事故，请宿主拯救至少五名遇难者，拯救人数越多，完美值越高。】

【Additional mission 1: Five months later, there will be a major accident happening at the site under Qingwei. Host, please rescue at least five victims. The more people you rescue, the higher the completion value.】

    庆威？不就是柏霖所在的公司吗？

Qingwei? Isn’t that the company where Bai Lin works?

    尚可在网上搜索了一下，结果发现他们竟然成为派诺岛开发项目的承建商之一。在失去闻景戎的支持后，他们还是成功取得开发权，那个柏霖果然有些本事。

Shang Ke went online to search and realise that they were actually one of the contractors for the development projects on Pano Island. They managed to obtain the rights to develop on the island even after losing Wen Jingrong’s support. That Bai Lin really has some ability.

    任务提到五个月后将有一场事故发生，尚可不知道事故发生地，自然也无法提前预警。材料开采厂，建筑工地，陆运海运等等，都符合重大事故的发生条件。

The mission mentioned that there will be an accident happening five months later. Shang Ke doesn’t know the location of the accident, so he isn’t able to warn in advance. Material mining site, construction site, land transportation and sea transportation site etcetera all satisfy the requirement for the major accident to happen.

    所以只能等到事故发生后再行动？系统，敢不敢将事故地点和事故原因告诉他，直接避免事故发生不是更好吗？

So he can only wait for the accident to happen before he can make a move? System, why don’t you just tell me the cause and location of the accident? Wouldn’t it be better to directly prevent the accident from happening?

    【这是积煞之后的必然结果，即使避免了这一次，还会有下一次，宿主的任务，主要是为那些无辜者创造生机，而不是为凶煞者阻挡煞气。】

【This is the inevitable result from the accumulation of negative energy. Even if you prevent it this time, there will still be a next time. Host’s mission is mainly to create a chance of survival for those innocent people, not to block negative energy for people with strong negative energy.】

    “好吧，我明白了。”尚可躺在闻景戎为他准备的玩具床上，抱着小枕头翻滚。

“Alright, I understand.” Shang Ke laid on the toy bed Wen Jingrong prepared for him and rolled about while hugging a small pillow.

    这时，一颗硕大的脑袋伸过来，将他完全笼罩在阴影中。

At this moment, a large head stretched over and enveloped him in the shadow.

    “可可，我要去洗澡了，你要一起吗？”闻景戎问道。

“Keke, I’m going to bath. Do you want to bathe together with me?” Wen Jingrong asked.

    尚可翻身而起，踩着他的手臂，跳到他肩膀上：“一起。”

Shang Ke got up, stepped on Wen Jingrong’s arm, climbed onto his shoulder and said, “Together.”

    两人来到浴室，各自开始脱衣，然后一个进大浴缸，一个进小浴缸。小浴缸是用木头做的，可以漂在水面上。

The two arrived in the bathroom and started removing their own clothes. Then, one of them entered the large bathtub and the other entered the small bathtub. The small bathtub is made of wood and can float on water.

    闻景戎舒服地靠在浴缸一头，视线时不时落在泡沫中小人身上。看着看着，困意来袭，在氤氲的水气中，不知不觉中睡着了。

Wen Jingrong leaned comfortably on one end of the bathtub and his sight landed on the small figure within the bubbles from time to time. As he looked and looked, sleepiness soon struck him and he fell asleep within the warm moisture.

    朦胧中，仿佛又进入梦中，可可正坐在他身上，温柔地亲吻他的嘴唇。

He seemed like he had entered his dreamland again in his hazy sleep. Keke was sitting on him and gently kissed his lips.

    闻景戎用力抱住他，加深力度，与他的香舌缠绵共舞，手臂也熟门熟路地开始摸索起来。

Wen Jingrong hugged him tightly and deepened the kiss. Their tongues tangled and danced together, while his hand began touching about familiarly.

    尚可原本见闻景戎睡着，想小小捉弄他一下，于是变成正常体型，偷偷啃咬他的嘴唇。谁知闻景戎一点即燃，反守为攻，瞬间掌握主动权。

Originally, Shang Ke saw that Wen Jingrong was asleep and wanted to tease him a little. Hence, he turned normal in size and secretly bit Wen Jingrong’s lips. He never expected that Wen Jingrong would be ignited with just one spark and counterattack, instantly taking the lead.

    尚可还来不及喊疼，就被闻景戎挺腰贯穿，硕大的硬物冲入体内，直没顶点。多日的饥渴在此刻完全爆发，翻身将人压在浴缸旁，大力进出，激起阵阵水波。

Shang Ke didn’t even have the time to cry out in pain and was penetrated straight with a movement of Wen Jingrong’s waist. The large and hard thing rushed into his body and hit the peak. The many days of thirst exploded at this moment. Wen Jingrong turned over and pressed the person on the side of the bathtub. He went in and out vigorously, causing waves of water to be formed.

    尚可在疼痛中吸收男人的淫欲之气，浓郁的淫气第一次超过了煞气消耗的速度。

Shang Ke absorbed the man’s lust energy amidst the pain. The overflowing lust energy exceeded the speed of negative energy consumption for the first time.

    这难道就是传说中的“久别胜新婚”？尚可迷迷瞪瞪地想，原来做爱间隔时间长一点也有好处……

Is this the so-called “absence makes the heart grow fonder”? Looks like there are some advantage of having longer time intervals between each sex.

    闻景戎睁开眼，猛地一个冲刺，达到高潮。他好不容易等到尚可“长大成人”，又岂会轻易放过？打开喷头，匆匆冲洗之后，便抱着尚可回到卧室，继续下一轮碰撞……

Wen Jingrong opened his eyes, gave a violent thrust and reached climax. He finally got to see Shang Ke “become an adult”, how can he let him go so easily? He quickly rinsed themselves with the shower head. Then, he carried Shang Ke back to the bedroom and continued the next round of thrusting… 

    第二天，尚可又变成拇指人，跟着闻景戎去公司。

The next day, Shang Ke turned back into a thumb-sized person again and followed Wen Jingrong to the company.

    闻景戎正在批示文件时，突然像是想起什么，抬头看向正在键盘上蹦跶的小人，问道：“可可，你以前说自己有女朋友原来都是骗我的？”

Wen Jingrong was writing on the documents when he suddenly remembered something. He looked up towards the small person who was jumping about on the keyboard and asked, “Keke, so you were actually lying to me when you said that you have a girlfriend previously?” 

    尚可冷不丁听到这个问题，脚下一滑，踩进按键的缝隙中，眼看就要滑倒，闻景戎连忙将笔伸过去，横在他手臂下。

Shang Ke was shocked when he heard the question. His feet slipped and stepped into the gap between the keyboard buttons. He was about to fall, so Wen Jingrong quickly extended a pen over and supported Shang Ke under his arm.

    尚可抱着笔杆，镇定道：“我确实有女朋友。”

Shang Ke hugged the pen and said calmly, “I do have a girlfriend.”

    “什么？”闻景戎眼神一厉，冷声问，“谁！”

“What?” Wen Jingrong’s eyes turned fierce and he asked coldly, “Who!”

    “就是你的备用魔数笔啊。”尚可赞叹道，“那精美的外形，时尚的设计，恬静的性格，简直就是我心目中的女神！”

“Your spare magic pen.” Shang Ke said in admiration, “That exquisite appearance, aesthetic design and tranquil personality, she is simply the goddess in my heart!”

    闻景戎：“……”可可是一支笔，所以他中意另一支笔，似乎很符合常理？

Wen Jingrong: “…” Keke is a pen, so it seems pretty normal that he likes another pen?

    尚可又用挑剔的目光上下扫视闻景戎：“相比之下，你性格强势，需索无度，完全超出了一支笔所能承受的范围。若非被你绑定，我早就圈养好几只漂亮的‘笔友’了。”

Shang Ke used a picky gaze and glanced at Wen Jingrong from top to bottom. “In contrast, your personality is domineering and demanding, completely exceeding the limits a pen can take. If I wasn’t bound by you, I would have already kept several beautiful ‘pen pals’.”

    反了天了，还想圈养好几只！

How rebellious! You even wanted to keep several of them!

    闻景戎忍了忍，还是反驳道：“你是一只笔妖，怎么可能和普通的笔谈恋爱？”

Wen Jingrong tried to control himself but still couldn’t help but retorted, “You’re a demonic pen, how can you fall in love with normal pens?”

    “你作为人类都能和一支笔谈恋爱，为什么我这么笔直笔直的笔，反而不能和自己的同类谈恋爱？”

“You can even fall in love with a pen as a human, why can’t a straight pen like me fall in love with my own kind?”

    闻景戎：“……”

Wen Jingrong: “…”

    尚可见他吃瘪，又安慰道：“放心，我是一只有原则的笔，既然已经被你弄弯了，就不会再直。”

Seeing Wen Jingrong feeling defeated, Shang Ke comforted, “Don’t worry, I’m a pen of principle. Since I’m already bended by you, I won’t become straight again.”

    闻景戎：总觉得这句话有哪里不对。

Wen Jingrong: Why do I feel like there is something wrong with that sentence.

    处理完一天的事务，闻景戎正准备将尚可别在袖扣，却瞥见那里正扣着一支备用魔数笔，他顿了一下，将那支魔数笔取下来放进口袋，然后才把尚可扣上去。

After Wen Jingrong was done dealing with the work for today, he was about to wear Shang Ke on his sleeves when he saw the spare magic pen being worn there. He paused for a moment before he removed the magic pen and placed it in his pocket. Only after that did he wear Shang Ke on his sleeves.

    这绝对不是嫉妒，只是因为一个衣袖放两颗袖扣太挤了！

This is definitely not jealousy, it’s only because it is too crowded to wear two cufflinks on a sleeve!

    几天后，庆威那边送来请帖，邀请闻景戎参加他们争取到派诺岛开发权的庆祝酒会。

A few days later, there was an invitation card from Qingwei, inviting Wen Jingrong to participate in their celebration party as they managed to win the development rights on Pano island.

    闻景戎应邀而至。事实上，他对于庆威能够争取到这个项目颇为好奇，不知道是谁在背后资助他们。

Wen Jingrong accepted the invitation. He was actually quite curious how Qingwei was able to win the project. He wondered who provided Qingwei the funding.

    与闻景戎一同参加酒会的，还有尚可。他穿着一套白色西服，与闻景戎一身暗黑形成强烈反差。一个温润如玉，一个冷峻邪佞，毫无意外地成为众人瞩目的焦点。

Shang Ke also attended the party alongside Wen Jingrong. He wore a white suit and formed a strong contrast with Wen Jingrong who was in full black. One looked warm and gentle while the other looked cold and evil. Unsurprisingly, they became the center of attention.

    尚可原本并没打算以成人的形态陪闻景戎出席酒会，但昨晚这个男人亲自下厨，给他做了一顿黑暗料理，尽管他对普通食物没兴趣，但这顿黑暗料理硬是让他吃出煞气的味道，所以他欣然同意了他的邀请。

Shang Ke originally didn’t intend to attend the party with Wen Jingrong in the adult form. However, this man personally cooked last night and made for him dark cuisine. Although Shang Ke wasn’t interested in normal food, he actually tasted negative energy when he ate the dark cuisine. Therefore, he readily agreed to his invitation.

    尚可发现，闻景戎在厨艺上有非同一般的黑暗天赋，为他提供了新的煞气来源。

Shang Ke realised that Wen Jingrong had extraordinary dark talent in cooking and provided him a new source of negative energy.

    酒会中，一派和气兴荣，实则暗潮涌动，时有煞气显现。虽然被闻景戎净化不少，但尚可也能吸收到那么一点点。

The party looked harmonious on the surface but there was actually evil going on as negative energy appeared from time to time. Wen Jingrong’s blessing has purified a significant amount, but Shang Ke was still able to absorb little amounts of negative energy.

    不多时，柏霖代表庆威向众人致辞，言行举止落落大方，引来一片热烈的掌声。

A while later, Bai Lin represented Qingwei and made a speech to everyone. He spoke naturally and gracefully, people gave him a warm round of applause.

    尚可发现他身上的煞气比之前更加浓郁，但真正吸引尚可注意的，却是另一名男子。那人四十上下，面带凶相，脸上的笑容让人感觉十分虚假，眼神如毒蛇一般，闪烁着阴冷的光芒。

Shang Ke realised that the negative energy on his body was stronger than before. However, what caught Shang Ke’s attention more was another man. That person looked around 40 and had a fierce look. The smile on his face looks extremely fake and his eyes were like a venomous snake flashing a cold glint.

    他身上的煞气，是尚可迄今为止见过最浓的，与监狱中的重刑犯相差无几，显然是个行事狠辣、草菅人命的不法之徒。

The negative energy on his body is the strongest that Shang Ke has ever seen, almost the same as the criminals in prison with heavy sentences. It was very obvious that this person was someone very ruthless, an unlawful person who treated other people’s lives like nothing.

    似乎察觉到尚可的注视，那人猛地转过头，两道犀利的目光直直朝他射来。见到尚可后，先是一愣，随即微笑着向他举杯示意。

The person seemed to have perceived Shang Ke’s gaze as he suddenly turned his head around. The sharp eyes stared straight at Shang Ke. When he saw Shang Ke, he was stunned for a moment before he immediately smiled and gave Shang Ke a toast.

    尚可装作没看见，转开视线。

Shang Ke pretended not to see and looked away.

    那人轻啄红酒，饶有兴味地在尚可身上扫视。

That person sipped on his red wine as he glanced at Shang Ke with interest.

    “时间也不早了，我们回吧？”闻景戎在尚可耳边说道。他来参加酒会只是为了捧个场，既然已经露过面，自然没必要久留。

“It’s getting late. Let’s go back?” Wen Jingrong spoke next to Shang Ke’s ear. He attended this party only to show his support. Since he has already shown his face, there was no need to stay too long.

    “闻总，请留步。”柏霖叫住闻景戎，微笑道，“派诺岛的纳本先生也来了，想请您过去‘单独’聊聊。”

“Please wait a moment, President Wen.” Bai Lin called out to Wen Jingrong and said with a smile, “Mr Naben of Pano island also came. He wished to invite you ‘alone’ for a chat.”

    他刻意加重了“单独”两个字，随即若有所指地瞥了一眼尚可。

He purposely emphasized on the word “alone” as he gave Shang Ke a glance.

    闻景戎皱了皱眉，纳本是克律沙的贵族，也是派诺岛开发项目的负责人之人，他们虽然并无商业往来，却也不好拒绝。

Wen Jingrong furrowed his brows. Naben is an aristocrat from Cresa and also one of the persons in charge of the development project on Pano island. It wasn’t good to reject even though they had no business dealings together.

    于是他让尚可在休息区等他一会，然后便随柏霖一起离开了。

Hence, he let Shang Ke wait for him at the rest area. Then, he left with Bai Lin.

    看着自己男人被别人勾走，尚可可不会坐以待毙。他转身朝洗手间走去，打算找个没人的地方，化身煞笔，回到闻景戎身边。

There’s no way Shang Ke would sit still and wait when he saw his man being taken away by someone. He turned and headed towards the restroom, intending to find a place with no one so that he can transform into a pen and return back to Wen Jingrong’s side.

    尚可转入走廊后，那名身带煞气的男人也慢悠悠地跟了过来……

After Shang Ke walked into the corridor, the man with strong negative energy also slowly followed him …
