My Scumbag Sentinel Ex Says He Wants to Win Me Back

Wei Zhao was a naturally aggressive S-class Guide, an action team captain who could take down a squad of Sentinels. He often left his team of Sentinels behind and charged into battle alone.

The White Tower's senior commander was both exasperated and helpless. "I've seen Sentinels abandon their Guides, but this is a first. Why don't you wait for your partner?"

Wei Zhao scoffed. "You want a leopard to slow down? Why not ask a shark to go vegetarian?"

The commander said, "...How about finding a Sentinel with a higher compatibility rating and trying to build a relationship?"

He laughed in disbelief. "Old man, you said that three years ago, too. That scumbag cheated on me, and still hasn't shown his face. How dare you bring it up again?"

But when he saw the scumbag in the interrogation room, he was cold and sarcastic to his face, while the leopard ears that popped out betrayed his flustered state.

The scumbag wore a loose white robe, tied carelessly, its collar open down to his abs. The slit he'd torn in it revealed his thigh as he leaned elegantly against the interrogation chair. "I want to pursue you again."

If he hadn't looked so pale he might faint at any moment, and if his mental barrier hadn't been so easy to pierce, Wei Zhao might have thought he'd changed careers and become a gigolo.

He swallowed, then pulled his ears back in. "A good horse doesn't eat the grass behind it."

The scumbag rubbed his bare foot against Wei Zhao's calf. "I'm not a horse, and neither are you. Besides, I can't find anyone better than you."

"..." Wei Zhao was speechless. "Do you think picking a boyfriend is like shopping for vegetables at the market? Comparing prices and quality?"

He made up his mind: even if he stayed single for the rest of his life, he wouldn't say another word to that scumbag!

But the commander grabbed him, looking troubled. "His mental contamination is at 95%. Other Guides can't even reach his mental barrier, let alone break through it. You're the only Guide he accepts."

"...**** it, whatever!"

Later, the scumbag slept in his bed, ate his snacks, and bought flowers with his credit card.

He complained that Wei Zhao's steak had too much pepper, that the apartment was too low-rise and they should move to a high-floor unit, and that his office had no sense of style.

He even used Wei Zhao's tie as a blindfold...

Wei Zhao finally snapped. "...Is this how you pursue someone?"

"If you don't like it, don't roll over and show me your belly."

Later, on the training field, an owl's wings blotted out the sky as a shadow streaked across it. The black leopard behind him ran as fast as he could, but still couldn't catch up.

Wei Zhao: "Xiaoxiao, baby, kiss me, wife, husband! Wait for me!"

The blurb for Scumbag Top Binds to the Male Virtue System:

There is a certain kind of person in this world:

They are naturally cold and self-serving, hiding their schemes behind a kind facade. They deliberately approach strong yet unfortunate people, using false concern to trick them into giving their hearts, then stepping on their shoulders to get everything they want.

Then they coldly abandon their penniless lovers and walk away.

They are known as scumbag tops.

The Male Virtue System gives them a chance to start over: [Our motto is: Refuse to be a scumbag top, and uphold male virtue!]

The scumbag tops at first: Scornful.

The scumbag tops later: Studying every word.
