I'm in Teyvat, join the chat group.

Eriri looked at Aki Tomoya with a completely devastated expression.

She never imagined that her childhood sweetheart would treat her like this.

"You don't want the final payment anymore, Aki Tomoya?"

But then, Li Xiao suddenly said something completely irrelevant.

"What do you mean?"

Aki Tomoya frowned at him, not understanding what he was saying.

"You're the one who sold Eriri's identity information and Eri's identity to me online, right?"

Upon hearing this, Eriri looked at her childhood friend with disbelief.

"You mean... so what if it's me?"

Aki Tomoya, who didn't know what Li Xiao was talking about, was about to refute, but suddenly admitted it as if he had lost his mind.

Because he had already been hypnotized by Li Xiao.

Hearing Aki Tomoya admit it himself, Eriri looked at him sadly and angrily, feeling extremely disappointed in him.

She demanded, "Rinya! Why did you do this?!"

She had found it strange before; so few people knew her identity, so how did Li Xiao find out? It turns out it was Aki Tomoya who leaked it!

If it weren't for him, how could Li Xiao have done all these things to me? Now he's jumping out and saying he wants to ruin my reputation. What kind of nonsense is this?

Faced with Eriri's questioning, Aki Tomoya showed no remorse and acted as if it were perfectly normal.

"Of course it's for the money! I'm planning to make a game and I'm really short on funds; working isn't enough."

Just then, someone offered ten million yen online for Kashiwagi Eri's identity, so I sold it.

"Just for ten million?!"

Eriri found it unbelievable that Aki Tomoya would betray his childhood friend for such a small amount of money.

But Aki Tomoya ignored her and just stared intently at Li Xiao, as if he had discovered some major secret.

"I see, you're the buyer."

He adjusted his glasses, feeling a surge of confidence, as if he had found a bargaining chip to fight back.

"You're the Eriri who used this information to threaten me, right? I'm warning you, you'd better stay away from her, or I'll call the police!"

His words carried a threat, as if he occupied the moral high ground.

At this moment, he felt that Eriri might not have betrayed him willingly. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he thought that the most important thing was to win Eriri back. He also wanted Eriri to help him complete his game.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's lips curled into a cold smile, and she retorted, "Call the police? Isn't it a crime for you to sell Eriri's information? Aren't you afraid of getting arrested too?"

But Aki Tomoya said confidently, "Eriri will testify for me voluntarily, so I'll be fine. But you'll be going to jail! Oh, and you have to give me the rest of the money too!"

His confidence was unbelievable, as if everything was under his control.

Li Xiao smiled and looked down at the blonde girl in his arms.

"Eri, this is what he said, what do you think?"

Eriri just kept her head down, trembling all over, without saying a word, as if all her strength had been drained away, leaving only despair and helplessness.

Seeing this, Aki Tomoya immediately became a little anxious and tried to comfort Eriri:

"Eri, say something! Don't be afraid, this person won't dare to do anything to you, and I've already forgiven you!"

Li Xiao couldn't help but laugh when she heard his words. To betray someone and then claim that it's forgivable is just too presumptuous.

Moreover, Li Xiao dares to swear that he only implanted the false memory of "selling Eriri's identity" into Aki Tomoya.

But all of Aki Tomoya's subsequent words were spoken out of his own will.

In other words, his thought process is just that unbelievable.

As expected, Eriri immediately lost her temper after hearing Aki Tomoya's statement.

"Go to hell! You bastard!"

In a fit of rage, she threw her lunchbox at him, which hit Aki Tomoya squarely on the head. The sound was crisp and loud, as if it were an outpouring of all the betrayals and deceptions of the past.

Aki Tomoya was also knocked to the ground, his glasses falling off. Without his glasses, and being severely nearsighted, he couldn't see clearly and panicked, shouting:

"Eri, what are you doing?!"

"What did you say I did?"

Eriri broke free from Li Xiao's hand again, and this time Li Xiao did not stop her.

She walked up to Aki Tomoya, suppressing the urge to kick him a few times, but her tone was full of determination and indifference:

"I'm telling you, Aki Tomoya! We have nothing to do with each other anymore, so get the hell out of here!"

"Eri, don't be afraid of his threats, we can call the police!"

Aki Tomoya stubbornly believes she is lying and has been coerced by Li Xiao. He tries to use the law as a shield, as if that could salvage everything.

Eriri took a deep breath, then said, word by word:

"I wasn't threatened by him, I did it voluntarily, are you satisfied now?"

"how come?!"

Aki Tomoya could hear the determination in her voice, his face contorted in disbelief, unable to accept this fact.

How could you do this?

Eriri's gaze sharpened as she stared directly at Aki Tomoya, her tone carrying an undeniable authority:

"Aki Tomoya, you betrayed me, you betrayed me, and you still dare to ask me why I did this?"

What you call friendship is nothing more than a tool you use to achieve your goals.

You used me, deceived me, and in the end, you even wanted me to commit perjury for you. What do you take me for?

Her words were like sharp blades, piercing straight into Aki Tomoya's heart.

Aki Tomoya's face turned pale. He seemed to realize the seriousness of his actions, but his pride wouldn't allow him to admit his mistake.

"You...you can't do this to me! We're childhood sweethearts, we're friends!"

Eriri shook her head, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Aki Tomoya, our relationship ended the moment you betrayed me. From now on, let's pretend we never met."

Honestly, Li Xiao never expected that Eriri, who was so easily fooled and timid in front of him, could be so tough.

Seeing her so heartless, Aki Tomoya realized that things were beyond repair, and immediately disregarded everything else, directly threatening her:

"Eri, don't forget I still have your recordings!"

"You're hopeless."

Seeing that Aki Tomoya still wanted to threaten her with despicable means, Eriri felt extremely disgusted with him at this moment.

She even began to doubt her own judgment. How could she have liked someone like him before? Even Li Xiao was better than him!

She said coldly, "Tell me, how much money do you want?"

She felt that Aki Tomoya had betrayed her to Li Xiao before for money, so this time was probably no surprise.

"I don't want money, I want you to make my game!"

Aki Tomoya thought that even if the relationship between the two was irreparable, he would still continue making his game, and Eriri was the best artist he knew, so he naturally wouldn't let her go.

"You still want money, right? I don't have that much time to play games with you."

Eriri responded coldly, saying she didn't want to see Aki Tomoya's face at all right now, let alone help him with the game.

"No, you have to help me make the game! Otherwise, I'll release this video to the whole school!"

Eriri didn't want to agree, but she felt somewhat helpless; she really didn't want this matter to be made public.

At this moment, Li Xiao, having finished watching the show, stood up and walked over, looking at Aki Tomoya with indifferent eyes.

"What did you say you were going to do?"

"I want......"

Aki Tomoya's words came to an abrupt halt as Li Xiao pressed his face to the ground and began rubbing it against him.

Aki Tomoya screamed and struggled, but Li Xiao's strength was as solid as a rock, making him unable to move at all.

This somewhat brutal scene startled Eriri. Li Xiao had never been this fierce when they interacted.

She grabbed Li Xiao's arm, trying to stop him.

"Li Xiao, don't do this, you're committing a crime!"

"Huh? You're going to stop me? I'm just helping you get revenge."

“Hmm…” Eriri never expected that now, when she was threatened with betrayal, the first person to stand up for her would be the one who had bullied her in the past.

Her opinion of Li Xiao changed drastically, and she even found him much more agreeable.

"Even if you want to help me get revenge, you can't do it this way. It's not worth it."

Eriri's words were filled with worry and admonition; she didn't want to see Li Xiao get into trouble because of her.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

You're kidding, who in this world can judge him? Who dares to judge him?

After a dozen seconds, Li Xiao lifted An Yilun up. At this point, his face was chafed and bleeding, and he looked utterly disheveled.

Li Xiao looked at him with a smile, "Say it again, what are you going to do?"

"I was wrong."

Aki Tomoya was in tears, his voice trembling, and his eyes flashing with fear.

"So, do you know what you should do?"

"I will... delete the recording."
