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

Jiang Xiu paused.

Chen Jingmo burst into laughter, laughing so hard he almost lost his balance. He squatted down and slammed his fist on the table leg, yelling, "Hahahaha! Did you understand, Jiang Xiu? Are you sad? Aren't you heartless?"

Shen Qinghuai couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing Lu Sui looking at him blankly, he leaned closer and kissed his cheek, "Little Bao is so cute."

Did he understand?

Chen Jingmo said, "You've explained it so clearly. If this wicked little Jiang Xiu still doesn't understand, then it's not just a matter of being heartless, it's a matter of being mentally challenged!"

Jiang Xiu: ...In the desolate land of Bashan and Chushui, there is a fool who mocks me.

Lu Sui stood up and went to the restroom to wash her hands. Shen Qinghuai screwed the lid on, wiped the bowl clean with a wet wipe, and followed him to the restroom, still worried. Lu Sui waited for him to approach, then stretched out her hands and said, "Wash your hands."

Shen Qinghuai turned on the tap, grabbed Lu Sui's wrists with one hand and pulled them under the water to rinse them, squeezed out some hand soap and rubbed them, and even used cotton swabs to clean under his fingernails. Lu Sui said, "Troublesome."

"It needs to be washed clean."

"Do roasted sweet potatoes still taste good when they're cold?"

"It's hot now."

"The air conditioner is on."

Shen Qinghuai threw away the cotton swab, put Lu Sui's hand under the water to rinse it, then dried it and told him to eat sweet potatoes first, while he washed himself as well.

As soon as she walked out and stood next to Lu Sui, a spoon filled with sweet potatoes was handed to her.

Jiang Xiu thought to himself, "This young couple is so sweet; they even know to feed each other first."

The next second, Lu Sui saw Shen Qinghuai slurp twice with the spoon, then took it back and ate it himself.

He thought to himself, "They really are a young couple. They know what the other wants to do. Ahhhhh, this is going to be so sweet!"

Seeing Jiang Xiu's expression, Chen Jingmo said, "How come eating a sweet potato made you constipated?"

"...Has anyone ever told you that you have a sharp tongue?"

Chen Jingmo blurted out, "What the hell is wrong with my mouth? He always praises me for being soft-spoken."

Jiang Xiu: !

"Brother Chen! You're in a relationship? With whom? A guy or a girl? How long have you been dating? Did you kiss? When did you kiss?"

Chen Jingmo sat on the stool, silently eating sweet potatoes. He was quieter than usual at this moment. Jiang Xiu's persistent questioning nature was driving Chen Jingmo crazy.

Lu Sui looked at Shen Qinghuai.

Shen Qinghuai said, "I don't know."

If you don't know, you can say so.

Lu Sui said to Jiang Xiu, "He's a man, and they've been dating for a long time."

Upon hearing the word "male," Jiang Xiu stomped his foot excitedly, then felt a surge of betrayal. "Boss, when did you find out? Senior Shen, you knew too? Why didn't I know? Have I finally become superfluous?"

Chen Jingmo gave Jiang Xiu a beating, not caring that he was sweating, "I don't want to talk to you because you're so brainless. Who knows, you'll probably be secretly writing fanfiction about us again tonight. It's so embarrassing, okay? I don't even want to open my eyes to see you when I come to school!"

Jiang Xiu stammered and couldn't say anything.

His brain has really been acting strangely lately; the fanfiction he's writing is particularly... well, you know.

Lu Sui asked, "Fan fiction?"

Chen Jingmo stuck a spoon into a sweet potato, making a clinking sound against the plate underneath. "Damn, you guys have no idea, this guy—"

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen, Brother Chen!" Jiang Xiu clasped his hands together.

"...His fanfiction is really good. Ask him to send you one when you have time." Chen Jingmo thought of something and looked at Jiang Xiu. "You're not sweating so much because you've been staying up all night writing fanfiction and it's made your kidneys weak, are you?"

"How could I possibly have kidney deficiency at such a young age!"

"A cover-up is the truth," Chen Jingmo said. "Get it checked out sooner, get better sooner, don't delay too long and it will cause long-term health problems."

Jiang Xiu asked Chen Jingmo anxiously, "What kind of lasting health problems will it cause?"

"Probably... Yang-?"

"..." Jiang Xiu messaged Jiang Wang, asking him to make an appointment with a doctor. Jiang Wang asked what was wrong, and Jiang Xiu said he had kidney deficiency. Jiang Wang told him to get lost, but Jiang Xiu insisted that he really did have kidney deficiency, sweating so much in the middle of summer. Jiang Wang then sent a voice message—

"You said it yourself, it's summer. You don't sweat in summer but you do in winter? You're really going against the grain! So what if you sweat a lot? That means your body has good detoxification functions. Not sweating is more likely to indicate kidney deficiency!"

He then sent another message: "You're not fucking sick, your mom checked you out when you were a kid."

"..."

Chen Jingmo started to get nervous after hearing this.

He sweats very little, could it be that he has kidney deficiency?

No way...

How could someone so young have kidney deficiency?

No, I'll drink goji berry tea and eat some oysters when I get home tonight.

Lu Sui looked at Shen Qinghuai, "Do I have kidney deficiency?"

"Not at all." Shen Qinghuai ruffled his hair. "You're fine."

Around 3 PM, Shen Qinghuai was cornered in the restroom by Xiang Xun, who glared at him with hatred. "Was it you who wouldn't let Lu Sui message me?"

Shen Qinghuai pressed the volume down button for two seconds with his hand in his pocket, his tone indifferent, "Yes."

"Why can't you let him message me!"

"Just because I'm his boyfriend," Shen Qinghuai said coldly, a hint of mockery in his eyes, "and you, ha, you're not even a stranger."

"Has Lu Sui admitted you're his boyfriend? He hasn't admitted it at all. I still have a chance. You wait, I'll definitely bring you down!"

"Are you determined to become Lu Sui's mistress?"

"So what if it is!"

"You have no chance, he only likes me."

boom.

Xiang Xun threw a punch, and Shen Qinghuai's face turned cold. He dodged the punch by tilting his head and then kicked. As he turned to leave, Xiang Xun threw another punch, which landed on his shoulder. Shen Qinghuai could no longer hold back. He pulled off the decorative ribbon from his chest and wrapped it around his hand. Each punch was accompanied by the wind, and it was filled with more of his previous anger.

Someone heard the commotion, glanced over, and then quickly ran out.

About two minutes later.

Chen Jingmo arrived. It was the first time he had ever seen Shen Qinghuai beat someone, and he was so shocked that he joined the fight after recognizing the person on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.

Five minutes later.

The ambulance took Xiang Xun away, and Chen Jingmo went to the principal's office to plead for him. As they were talking, a voice came over the school's loudspeaker—

"Has Lu Sui admitted you're his boyfriend? He hasn't admitted it at all. I still have a chance. You wait, I'll definitely bring you down!"

"Are you determined to become Lu Sui's mistress?"

"So what if it is!"

"You have no chance, he only likes me."

Chen Jingmo raised an eyebrow.

This move is brilliant! It can ruin your rival's reputation while also clearing your name and officially announcing your relationship.

The principal felt a little heartbroken after hearing this. Shen Qinghuai, such a promising talent, had become a couple with Lu Sui... Wasn't this ridiculous?

[I hate snow the most: Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, they really are real!]

[My hands are freezing! Shen's statement, "He only likes me," was so resolute! A few days ago there were rumors that someone was keeping him as a sugar daddy; could that have been just a rumor spread by that guy on the radio?]

[I hope my novel becomes a huge hit: Definitely! Remember that basketball game where someone posted something about what they'd heard, only to be exposed as complete fabrication? It was disgusting; I don't even want to talk about it.]

[May my serialized novel become a huge hit: He wants to be the mistress of that crazy guy? There are plenty of women who want to be his mistress, does he even deserve it?! Does anyone know who he is?]

[I wish all my novels would become huge hits: it seems to be about Xiang Xun, the guy who transferred from another school and is incredibly good at video games, who was in the top three of the school's heartthrob list yesterday. He's quite handsome and tall, and he's the same type of aloof male god as Shen Qinghuai. Who knew that he would secretly be eager to become someone's mistress... You can know a person's face but not their heart.]

Shen Qinghuai couldn't bear to see Lu Sui suffer, and Lu Sui couldn't bear to see him suffer either, so he took Lu Sui directly from the classroom and drove him home.

apartment.

Lu Sui applied an ice pack to Shen Qinghuai's lips. Seeing how red his eyes were, she kissed him twice and said, "Don't cry."

"He insists on being your mistress."

"I don't want a mistress."

"During the two weeks you were apart, did you chat with him every day?"

"We didn't talk," Lu Sui said. "He gave me a very uncomfortable feeling."

Shen Qinghuai hugged Lu Sui's waist, "If my mouth is damaged, I can't give it to Xiaobao. Will Xiaobao be disgusted with me?"
