I downloaded the app and discovered that my childhood sweetheart's affection level had skyrocke

"Wanwan."

"Late night~"

"Are you still eating, Wanwan?"

"No, Dad, I need to be alone for a while. Don't come in."

"Forehead……"

With a click, the door slowly closed, as if shutting out all the disturbances from the outside world.

The girl leaned against the door, took a deep breath, and walked expressionlessly to her wardrobe. After opening the hidden compartment, Bai Wanwan took out a coat—the coat was small, probably like a little boy's clothes.

Looking at the arrangement of the hidden compartment, it was filled with photos of Lin Zhou from childhood to adulthood.

Bai Wanwan hugged her clothes tightly, lay on the bed, and almost buried her face in the clothes to take deep breaths, a blush slowly appearing on her face.

Her legs moved on the bed, making the sound of fabric rubbing together, and her snow-white, rounded toes curled slightly.

"Lin Zhou..."

"Lin Zhou... can only be mine..." Her eyes were vacant, and she uttered a muffled sound.

After a while, she lay down, hugging the clothes, her slender fingers gently stroking the fabric, her thoughts gradually drifting away.

……

……

"Zombie woman, zombie woman, zombie woman."

The mocking laughter was clear and piercing, reaching her ears when she was not yet seven years old.

Malice, like a tide, gradually engulfed her heart.

She was subjected to the purest malice simply because she couldn't express her feelings, because she didn't like to talk, because she had no expression, and because she liked to shrink into a corner.

Several little boys surrounded her, occasionally tugging at her hair, pushing her body, or lifting her skirt, as if they had found interesting toys. It was hard to tell whether they were teasing her or showing disgust.

Bai Wanwan doesn't understand, nor does she want to understand, why others treat her this way.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" An angry voice rang out, and the mocking laughter stopped abruptly. At that moment, a thin figure stood in front of her.

"Oh? The sickly guy is going to protect the zombie woman? You two are quite a good match, aren't you?"

"After all, they don't look like normal people."

"Hahahaha, together! Together! Together!" The clamor echoed in the corridor outside the classroom, and many onlookers joined in the cheering.

Bai Wanwan stood behind Lin Zhou, her eyes lowered.

"Do you even know what 'cold-faced cuteness' means? Wanwan is the cutest girl ever, what do you know? (Cantonese swear word)"

Bai Wanwan was stunned for a moment, only to hear the boy in front of her praising her endlessly.

"You're so arrogant." Seeing that they were being insulted, the boys attacked Lin Zhou without hesitation, with one of them even grabbing Lin Zhou's neck tightly with his arm.

Lin Zhou was knocked to the ground in an instant, and without hesitation, he bit the other person's arm.

"Release!!!!"

Lin Zhou's face was scratched, and he even gripped the other man's scrotum tightly with his other hand.

"ah!!!!!!!!"

The other party retaliated decisively, and they ripped each other's genitals out, causing Lin Zhou to scream in pain.

Seeing Lin Zhou being beaten by several people, a surge of resentment welled up from Bai Wanwan's heart. She grabbed a plastic utility knife from the table next to her and stabbed the strongest boy with all her might!

A plastic knife certainly won't pierce the skin, but getting stabbed hard can still be very painful.

"W-What are you doing?!"

Bai Wanwan gripped the plastic knife and stabbed several times, coldly staring at the boys in front of her.

"Let's go, let's go," a companion said.

"Tch, that's pointless. A good man doesn't argue with a woman."

"Let's go, let's go."

The group dispersed, and Lin Zhou was still rolling on the ground in pain, clutching his wound.

"It hurts, it hurts so much..." His face turned pale.

After a while, Lin Zhou finally stood up, trembling. Bai Wanwan supported him. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Lin Zhou scratched his head. "Are you alright?"

"..." Seeing that the other person was concerned about her, Bai Wanwan was just a little confused, "Why..."

"Why? Why?"

"You fought for me... even though you're so weak..." Bai Wanwan whispered, "I... am not likable..."

"Yes!" Lin Zhou said.

Bai Wanwan was stunned for a moment, her eyes darkening, but Lin Zhou's next words stunned her again.

"Yes, I'm too weak! Don't be afraid, Wanwan. After I train, I'll definitely be able to protect you... Sigh, I wish my body could be a little stronger..."

"I'm a champion of justice..."

"Ouch, that hurts..."

Bai Wanwan reached out and gently touched the other person's wound. "Don't do that again next time..."

"No way! I'll protect you for the rest of my life!" Lin Zhou said. "I like you."

"..."

"And everyone else too!"

Bai Wanwan remained silent. "A lifetime... I'm not your fiancée."

"What's a fiancée...? Hmm? Never mind, just treat me as your fiancée, and I'll protect you from now on!"

"..."

"..."

"What's wrong? You don't want to?"

"I'm willing, but... is that alright?"

"Oh, never mind them, let's go, Wanwan. We're not playing with them, we'll play by ourselves. We'll tell the teacher later."

"Okay..." Bai Wanwan confirmed again, "I'm ugly."

"Isn't this super cute?! They don't understand, I love you so much... You're like... my sister's Barbie doll!" Lin Zhou scratched his head. "Anyway, you're just super cute."

"Barbie doll, a strange way of using metaphors."

"It's okay, let's go build a sandcastle. Come to my house after school to watch Pokémon, you know? That Infernape beating Electivire was so cool! That fire bang... I was so excited last night I couldn't sleep..."

"Okay...can you still walk? Your legs are shaking so much."

"My... my scrotum hurts a little."

"You cried?"

"Who's crying? I'm not crying! Let's go!"

Similar things happened after that, in kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school... but after high school, nothing like that happened again.

Every time, Lin Zhou would rush in like an idiot, only to get beaten black and blue, then struggle to his feet and shout, "Do you even know the value of a cold-faced cuteness?"

He couldn't fight, and he was often sick and hospitalized, yet he displayed extraordinary energy and initiative.

We've always been together—

We've been together since we were little.

We'll be together from now on.

No one can separate us.

Her thoughts returned to the present. Bai Wanwan sat up in bed. The room was dimly lit, and she didn't turn on the light.

She turned on the tap, washed her hands, and gently patted her cheeks. Looking at her face in the mirror, she cupped her face, appearing both sickly and perfect.

"I can't let Lin Zhou know this side of me..."

I really want to hide him away...

"Those women..."

"No one is allowed to approach Lin Zhou."

He's mine.
