Ling Chunan flipped over with his eyes closed, pulled up the blanket to cover his head, and just when 098 thought he had fallen asleep, Ling Chunan spoke, "I didn't see it at first either."
"It's hard to deny, that Tang Shouxu was very realistic, exactly like how I imagined him to be, even the taste was the same," Ling Chunan paused here, "Hmm, even his reaction when I killed him was pretty similar."
...How could you still go through with it?
098 didn't voice its complaint, but Ling Chunan always seemed to guess what it was thinking, "But the fake is after all fake, if you ask me how I was so sure he wasn't the real Tang Shouxu, maybe it's because the cake he made tasted better than Tang Shouxu's." Ling Chunan said with a somewhat accusing tone, "You know, I prefer something sweeter." But no matter the world, men's desserts are never sweet enough.
098 felt speechless upon hearing this reason — blaming it for not having taste buds and therefore not recognizing the food's flavor.
Thinking this way, 098 felt slightly comforted, suggesting its intelligence wasn't particularly low.
Of course, that was just one reason. For someone who had been together for countless years, even if he didn't recognize him at the start, the way they interacted later on would have made it impossible for Ling Chunan not to notice, or he wouldn't have instinctively distanced himself from the fake Tang Shouxu.
Remembering the look in the man's eyes when he stabbed him the second time, Ling Chunan sighed, knowing even then that he was fake, he almost couldn't hold the knife.
...He might have fallen for it.
This realization didn't make Ling Chunan feel too pleased, even after completing his mission.
Then, Tang Shouxu entered the room, seeing the blanket bulging on the bed, his eyes full of mirth, "Baby, are you awake?"
Seeing Ling Chunan ignoring him, Tang Shouxu wasn't annoyed. He sat by the bed and gently pulled at the blanket, "Baby, are you hungry? I've made food."
Ling Chunan remained still, and Tang Shouxu added, "You have an exam today, you're going to be late."
Ling Chunan: "..."
Though he had spent several months in that blood-mist simulated world, in reality, only a little while had passed, just yesterday, Ling Chunan had just seen Bao Jing.
Today was the final exam of the first semester of senior year.
"I don't want to go," Ling Chunan's voice was muffled.
"Okay," Tang Shouxu didn't ask why, compliantly saying, "Then I'll call the teacher to reschedule your exam."
"Forget it." Ling Chunan threw off the blanket and sat up, meeting Tang Shouxu's gaze. He was startled for a moment, then said, "Dress me."
Tang Shouxu chuckled softly, his eyes almost overflowing with indulgence, "Okay."
Watching the man seriously dressing him, Ling Chunan felt a bit more at peace, as if this wasn't too bad.
But it must be said, this man's method of boiling a frog in warm water was quite impressive.
When Ling Chunan arrived at the school, it was nearly exam time. Since the entire school's seating arrangement was based on the mid-term grades, Ling Chunan's exam room was not in his classroom. As soon as he entered the first exam hall, dozens of pairs of eyes focused on him.
Ling Chunan smiled and nodded at them, then casually walked to his seat and sat down, "098, what's going on?"
Although Ling Chunan was popular in school, he was always quite low-key, it definitely wasn't like now, where his entrance caused complete silence.
Before 098 could investigate, the classmate sitting next to Ling Chunan pushed his glasses up, his eyes full of gossip and excitement, even the freckles on his nose were sparkling, "Ayan, was that girl who came to find you yesterday your girlfriend? You don't know, the rumor that you took a leave the day before the exam to hang out with a girl made so many female students heartbroken, and male students beating their chests, after you left, the whole school was plunged into silence, as if the sky and earth lost their light..."
Regarding this person's exaggerated words, the classmates secretly listening to their conversation couldn't help but blush. If not for wanting to hear Ling Chunan's answer, probably everyone present would have liked to beat him up.
Five minutes later, the bespectacled student finally finished speaking, then pushed his glasses up again, his eyes shining brightly.
Ling Chunan checked the time, waited a bit, then said, "I don't have a girlfriend."
"Ring—"
As soon
as Ling Chunan's words fell, the exam bell rang, leaving everyone unable to hide their regret. However, knowing that the idol didn't have a girlfriend, their hearts were finally at ease.
And quite a number of them, while turning their heads, did not forget to glare at the bespectacled boy. If he hadn't been so long-winded, Ling Chunan would have definitely said more.
The bespectacled boy looked innocent, what did he do wrong?
After Ling Chunan finished the paper and rested for a while, he handed in his paper half an hour early and left the exam hall, leaving the others who were still writing in shock: "..."
Time flew by, even though it was the last semester of senior year, many students still harbored springtime fantasies, especially for boys like Ling Chunan who were good-looking, performed well academically, and although it was hard to see their family background, were definitely wealthy. He was always the most popular.
So, as graduation approached, Ling Chunan received more and more love letters, not limited to girls, as there were quite a few from male students, making Tang Shouxu jealous to the point of not letting Ling Chunan see any of the letters.
Ling Chunan was happy for the peace, not caring how Tang Shouxu dealt with those letters.
Finally, the college entrance examination ended, and Tang Shouxu, who had been inseparable from Ling Chunan lately, finally breathed a sigh of relief, delightfully planning to take his darling home for a coming-of-age ceremony. But just as Ling Chunan stepped out of the exam hall, he was stopped.
"Xie Ziyin." The girl's voice was soft and pleasant.
Ling Chunan turned his head, looking at the girl with her head bowed and cheeks flushed, "He Qingyu student, what's the matter?"
Hearing Ling Chunan actually call out her name, the already blushing girl became even more nervous, her pretty face flushing, she mustered her courage and handed Ling Chunan an envelope, "For, for you."
Ling Chunan glanced at the letter, then reached out to take it, "Thank you."
He Qingyu's face turned even redder, "I, I'm leaving first." After saying that, she turned and ran, almost tripping over a flower bed. Fortunately, she steadied herself in time, perhaps out of shyness, she then ran even faster.
Ling Chunan looked at Tang Shouxu beside him, then at the letter in his hand, uncharacteristically not handing it over, "You go start the car."
Tang Shouxu glanced at the envelope in Ling Chunan's hand, then at Ling Chunan's expression, making sure he really didn't plan to give it to him, then reluctantly headed towards the parking lot outside the school.
Not until Tang Shouxu's figure disappeared did Ling Chunan suddenly laugh out loud, this person was really too cute.
At this moment, 098 said, "Host, there's a sinister aura in this letter, you need to be careful."
Although Ling Chunan's cultivation wasn't low, 098 always remembered the adult's request before leaving, it had to protect the host, so the protective work also had to be done well.
Ling Chunan nodded, then opened the envelope while walking.
The envelope contained only one piece of paper, the handwriting was quite childish, although it was written very seriously, it didn't seem like it was written by a high school girl, but more like a primary school student, with many pinyin annotations.
After reading the letter, Ling Chunan was about to put it away when Tang Shouxu drove up to him, opened the passenger door, "Baby, let's go home."
"Hmm." Ling Chunan got into the car and handed the letter to Tang Shouxu, who was eagerly looking at him, "Take a look."
"Really?" Tang Shouxu's face lit up with joy.
Ling Chunan gave him a sideways glance, "If you don't look, forget it."
"I'll look, I'll look." Tang Shouxu hurriedly said, worried that his darling might be swayed by someone else's sweet words.
However, Tang Shouxu's brows furrowed after just a few seconds, "A suicide note?"
Indeed, the letter wasn't a love letter, but a suicide note, seemingly written by a child under ten. Despite the misspellings and pinyin, the child's writing was not bad, deeply accusing their parents of beating them for poor grades, forcing them to do homework without meals, sending them to cram schools, and not allowing them to play with peers. The letter ended with: "When I die, I'll become a ghost and make you taste what it's like to do homework without meals and be beaten for poor grades!!"
After reading, Tang Shouxu tapped his finger on
the letter, "He's already dead."
He Qingyu ran quite a distance before finally calming down, gently patting her burning hot face, then couldn't help but cover her face and laugh, Xie Ziyin had just accepted her love letter and even smiled at her, he really was as gentle as everyone said.
Oh no, she forgot to ask which university Xie Ziyin was planning to attend. She wanted to go back and ask, but suddenly stopped, would it be too abrupt to go back now? Maybe it would be better to ask a few days later when the results are out?
After hesitating for a while, He Qingyu decided to wait a few more days. With her mind made up, she resumed her good mood and walked home, not noticing that a pink piece of paper had fallen out of her bag and was blown onto the road by the wind, run over by car tires several times, before a diligent cleaner swept it into a trash can.
He Qingyu's home was in an old but dignified neighborhood in the east city, mostly inhabited by influential and wealthy people. Her parents had gone through a lot of trouble to finally secure an apartment in this neighborhood not long ago. However, she found it odd that the neighbors seemed to look at her strangely.
