The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Lu Sui's ability to disappear is truly baffling.

Shen Qinghuai had no connections and couldn't find Lu Sui. Every morning when he opened the door, his greatest hope was to see Lu Sui in the living room. When he returned to his apartment at night, he would turn on the lights, search every corner, and continuously send messages and video call Lu Sui, hoping that if Lu Sui accidentally clicked on the video, he could see his face...

He's definitely crying, and maybe he's smoking.

Shen Qinghuai regretted being violent towards Lu Sui in the bathroom that day.

I regret my tone inappropriate in the garage.

So what if he throws tantrums? So what if he's naughty? He's older than Lu Sui, so he should be tolerant of him.

Chen Jingmo asked Shi Qianqiu to help him find Lu Sui, and Jiang Xiu also told his brother. After everything was done, he informed Shen Qinghuai and told him to wait for news.

Finding Lu Sui is difficult because Lu Sui never goes out and eats less than two meals a day. All the meat he had painstakingly raised was gone.

Wen Chengyu asked Shen Qinghuai if she wanted to study abroad. She had earned a million yuan from publishing her paper, which was more than enough to cover the cost of studying abroad for a year. Shen Qinghuai refused.

As soon as they came downstairs, Chen Jingmo rushed over and pulled Shen Qinghuai to the grove.

Lu Sui was there, next to Xiang Xun, a scoundrel who harbored ill intentions and wanted to be a mistress. The two seemed to be having a pleasant conversation. Shen Qinghuai heard him inviting Lu Sui to watch a professional game match and observe his gaming skills.

Without a word, Shen Qinghuai walked over, bent down, and picked up Lu Sui, embracing him face-to-face after several days apart. Xiang Xun immediately stood up, his expression cold and stern. He grabbed Lu Sui's coat and said, "Senior Shen, isn't it inappropriate for you to hug him in public?"

"I'm his boyfriend, who do you think you are?" Shen Qinghuai's captivating eyes were as cold as if they were covered with a thin layer of ice, and his voice was low and icy as he uttered two words, "Let go."

"So what if he has a boyfriend?" Xiang Xun took a step to the left, looking at Lu Sui's face. "He doesn't want to go with you."

Chen Jingmo strode over and slapped Xiang Xun's hand away. Seeing Shen Qinghuai carrying Lu Sui away, he turned and sneered at him, "So tall, yet your mind is disgusting. You're so willing to be someone's mistress? Let me tell you, even if you were a mistress, Lu Sui wouldn't look at you. He added you on WeChat just to make Shen Qinghuai jealous—"

"Then that proves my existence is meaningful, doesn't it?" Xiang Xun crossed his arms. "I've been having a great time with Lu Sui these past few days. He's very interested in me, and I believe I'll soon become his mistress, and soon after that, I'll be his official boyfriend—"

Chen Jingmo was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fist and swung it out with lightning speed. He sneered and jumped up to beat him, "You're quite proud of saying such shameless words, I'm fucking I’m usually the most disgusted with a person like you who knows what’s best for you! Look at your looks, look at your donkey hair, it’s so embarrassing to be a duck in a male model shop, and you have to pay someone 500 yuan, so fuck you!”

Although Xiang Xun was tall, he was usually very polite and never got into fights. He had never encountered a situation like this before, so when faced with Chen Jingmo, who was taller and had a stronger attack, he only cared about covering his head and hurriedly threw a punch, but ended up hitting nothing.

Lu Sui pushed Shen Qinghuai, "Put me down."

"If I don't let go, what if you disappear again? Where will I find you?" Shen Qinghuai's bloodshot eyes turned even redder when he saw Lu Sui.

He thought this kind of abrupt breakup only happened on his phone, but it happened to him now, completely catching him off guard and leaving him no way to cope. The main problem was that he couldn't find Lu Sui and didn't know how Lu Sui was doing lately. Lu Sui was innocent, and if he was tricked by someone else into hating him and disappearing forever, he would probably go crazy.

The two boys walking hand in hand were quite conspicuous.

They stand out even more when they're hugging.

But I didn't dare take pictures with my phone, nor did I dare look too much, because the people the principal had arranged were patrolling.

Lu Sui had finally managed to get back into his previous life these past few days and didn't want to get involved with Shen Qinghuai anymore. He said, "No need to look for him."

"Heh, no need to look..." Shen Qinghuai patted the spot on Lu Sui's coat that Xiang Xun had touched several times, then raised his hand and pressed Lu Sui's back against his body until he could feel the pounding of the other's heartbeat before he felt somewhat calm.

Lu Sui looked at the unfamiliar road, frowned, and asked coldly, "Where are you taking me?"

"The equipment room," Shen Qinghuai said. "Next class is physical education."

"I don't want to go."

Lu Sui never attends PE class, and he feels uncomfortable after working up a sweat. Shen Qinghuai whispered in his ear, "I don't want to go either, so let's slack off."

"Siwen, where are you going?" Wen Chengyu saw Yue Siwen walking north and reminded her, "It's time for PE class."

Yue Siwen rubbed her lower abdomen. "My stomach hurts a little. I'm going to the restroom. You go ahead, I'll come find you right away."

"Okay, keep an eye on the time, don't be late."

"Uh-huh."

In the dilapidated and abandoned equipment room, Lu Sui sat on Shen Qinghuai's lap, still facing him. He stared at Lu Sui endlessly. Annoyed by his gaze, Lu Sui raised his eyes to glare at him, only to see that his eyes were red. "...Don't cry."

"You abandoned me, you don't want me anymore, how can I not cry?"

"wrong."

"What's wrong with that? You give me money every month, isn't that supporting me?" Shen Qinghuai held Lu Sui's fingers and pressed them against his face. "Even if we want to break up, we should think it through carefully before saying it. If we really have incompatible values, or if we can't get along in any aspect of life—"

We just can't get along.

"Tell me where we don't get along, and I'll change."

Shen Qinghuai's body temperature is usually higher than Lu Sui's, and the tears he shed now were even more scorching than Lu Sui's; if they hit the back of his hand, they could burn a hole in that spot.

"Stop crying, you're so annoying."

"Then promise me you won't disappear again. I really can't find you." Shen Qinghuai wanted to stay in China to develop his career. Whether he studied medicine or finance, he wanted to go higher and higher, and keep Lu Sui by his side so that he could never escape. Even if he knew it was just wishful thinking, he would do his best.

"I won't agree." Lu Sui pulled her hand back, awkwardly wiping away the dampness. "We're not related."

"How can it be okay? I didn't agree to break up, so we're still a couple." Shen Qinghuai stared intently at Lu Sui.

Lu Sui said, "That's not how it is."

"That's right. Even if a married couple goes to get a divorce, they are still married as long as one party doesn't agree."

Shen Qinghuai touched Lu Sui's face, pressing his forehead against Lu Sui's with heartache, his voice hoarse, "Why have you lost so much weight? Have you not been eating properly?"

"It's none of your business."

"It's related. Everything about you is related to me."

"I don't like it—"

Shen Qinghuai didn't want to hear those words a second time. The feeling was like having his flesh cut out with a knife, it hurt like hell. He kissed Lu Sui, sucked on his lips, and used all his skills to linger on him, treating him with the tenderness of a precious treasure. Even though he was very angry and upset, he would try to understand Lu Sui's feelings from his perspective.

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared by the window.

...Was I secretly filmed?

I felt the last sentence was a bit eerie.
