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

It was clear that Jiang Xiu wanted to dye his hair, but didn't have the guts and felt it would be a waste to throw it away. After dyeing two clumps, he held up his hand covered in paint and tried to rub it on Jiang Wang's head. He got a beating and cried as he smeared it evenly for him.

Jiang Xiu stood up straight immediately.

Chen Jingmo reached out and ruffled his hair.

Yes, it still feels just as good as before.

Shi Qianqiu pulled his hand back and asked Jiang Xiu, "Where's Lu Sui?"

Jiang Xiu stared at their clasped hands, his mouth agape, unable to close, "You you you you you—"

Chen Jingmo interrupted Jiang Xiu, "Hasn't Lu Sui arrived yet?"

"You're here, in the classroom. I'll come out and wait for you."

"?" Chen Jingmo said, "Your brother is so nice, he waited for me under the scorching sun."

"Sigh, he insists on waiting—"

Jiang Wang interrupted Jiang Xiu, "You were the one crying and begging for my life, clinging to my legs and not letting me leave."

Chen Jingmo: ...

Jiang Xiu: I originally wanted to create a cool and aloof new image for myself when school starts, but now it's all ruined.

There is an entrance exam at the start of the second year of university.

Lu Sui was confident because Shen Qinghuai tutored him, and he was also intelligent.

Chen Jingmo was also confident, as he was so bored at home that he could only listen to online classes, so he learned a lot.

Jiang Xiu had a little bit of confidence, even though Jiang Wang was tutoring him, he couldn't understand it.

Lunchtime, a private room in the school cafeteria.

Shen Qinghuai peeled shrimp for Lu Sui, who then picked one up and placed it on Chen Jingmo's plate. "Are you happy now?"

Chen Jingmo popped all the shrimp into his mouth. "Mmm, happy."

Jiang Xiu held up his bowl, "Boss, I want one too."

Shen Qinghuai peeled one and threw it into his bowl, saying, "You all do it yourselves. My little treasure hasn't eaten much yet."

Jiang Xiu's face immediately broke into a loving smile as she happily ate the shrimp that Shen Qinghuai had peeled. "So good."

Chen Jingmo: ?

"Where is it good?"

"Senior Shen and the eldest brother are a couple, and you also have a girlfriend. You're both happy. That's great."

Chen Jingmo asked, "What about you? When are you going to find someone?"

"My brother said I'm still young and can't judge people well. If I find a boyfriend, he'll kill me. If I find a girlfriend, it will be very inconvenient to eat together. More importantly, there's only one sofa here. If she sleeps on it, I won't have any to sleep on."

Chen Jingmo served him some food, saying, "Well, then you'll be alone for three years."

Just as Jiang Xiu was about to say something, he caught a glimpse of Chen Jingmo's wrist. "Brother Chen, your bracelet is really nice."

"I think it looks good too, do you want it?"

"think."

"No way—"

"No, no, I should say I don't want to. This must have been a gift from your boyfriend."

"..."

During his afternoon nap, Chen Jingmo lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep, and looked through the photos he had secretly taken of Shi Qianqiu.

In these photos, Shi Qianqiu is still very young. They are all hidden in his private album. He will transfer the backup when he changes phones. He will secretly rejoice in these photos every day. He actually feels that he has been sick for a long time, and he is quite sick. Otherwise, why would he want to die as soon as he feels that Shi Qianqiu is away from him and hates him?

Compared to Chen Yunting, Chen Jingmo only cares about Shi Qianqiu. In the entire broken and disgusting house, he only cares about Shi Qianqiu, but he doesn't know how to express it. He forces and coerces her to stay by his side in his own way, and when she gets jealous, he only warns her in a nonchalant tone.

Shi Qianqiu said that he felt he had led Chen Jingmo astray, and that Chen Jingmo's feelings for him were just a passing fancy. He didn't dare to respond, and he didn't dare to respond. He went abroad at Chen Yunting's suggestion, partly to show off in front of Chen Yunting, and partly to escape, giving Chen Jingmo enough time to let those inappropriate thoughts disappear.

Chen Jingmo understood him from his perspective, but she couldn't forget those two years either. Every time she thought about them, her heart would clench with pain to the point of suffocation.

Brother: I'll take you swimming tonight.

Before Chen Jingmo could even process what was happening, his hand had already clicked on the message. He opened his mouth, feeling ashamed of his lie, and forced himself to type.

Sweetie: No need.

Brother: It's just the two of us.

Chen Jingmo couldn't refuse. Before he could figure out what to say, another message came from the other end.

Brother: Sweetie, how many more times can I use the card from last time?

Chen Jingmo was embarrassed and wanted to lie again, but in the end he obediently answered.

My darling: ...once.

The next second, Shi Qianqiu made a video call to him. As soon as he answered, Chen Jingmo pulled the blanket over his face, only showing his eyes to look at Shi Qianqiu.

"If you only have one more time left, I'll get you a new card. Can you ask me to come with you next time you want to go?"

Shi Qianqiu, on the other hand, had gotten used to the title "brother" and even referred to himself as such.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you."

"My sweetheart must have had her reasons for lying to me, there's no need to apologize."

Aren't you angry?

"Don't be angry, you just went swimming." Shi Qianqiu glanced at the time and told Chen Jingmo to take a nap, otherwise he would be very sleepy in the afternoon.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jingmo put his phone aside to charge.

At 6:10 p.m., Shi Qianqiu picked up Chen Jingmo on time. The air conditioning in the car was on full blast. He wiped Chen Jingmo's sweat, pulled him onto his lap, and asked, "Were you tired from class today?"

Chen Jingmo said he wasn't tired because he was just sitting in the classroom listening to lectures, but he was tired because Shi Qianqiu had to use his brain a lot and handle a lot of company affairs.

Shi Qianqiu said, "Just because someone does something complicated doesn't mean they can complain about being tired. Everyone has the right to complain. Besides, the things we do are different. My dear, you have to get up very early every day and sit in the classroom for a long time. You must be very tired."

Okay, I am indeed tired.

Chen Jingmo ate at a restaurant again tonight, and he received roses again, sent by Shi Qianqiu. They came with a small vase, and he couldn't help but look at them. After dinner, he took the vase to his car.

Shi Qianqiu took Chen Jingmo to a private swimming pool.

Inside the changing room, Chen Jingmo put on the swimming trunks that Shi Qianqiu had brought, wrapped a bath towel around his neck, and was about to go out. He then changed back to wearing the bath towel, but seeing that Shi Qianqiu was already changed and sitting there waiting for him, he suddenly looked away, his face burning. "Ahem, let's go."

"it is good."

The two went out one after the other. Chen Jingmo looked at the sky and the ground but not at Shi Qianqiu, because Shi Qianqiu had many scratches on her back. He also couldn't look at his own body, which was covered in small flowers. Fortunately, there were no surveillance cameras here, so the privacy was relatively strong.

At the edge of the pool, Shi Qianqiu turned to look at Chen Jingmo.

Chen Jingmo: ?

"What's wrong?"

"I can not swim."

"Then, shall I teach you?"

Chen Jingmo swam the water once, explaining the movements to Shi Qianqiu, trying his best to make it clear. Afterwards, he returned to the poolside, looked up at Shi Qianqiu, and asked, "Do you want to come down and try?"

"Mmm." Shi Qianqiu held onto the railing and went into the water.

He didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by water, but Chen Jingmo seemed to like it very much. He floated in the water like a fish, and every movement was pleasing to the eye. His arms were firm and beautiful, and his abdomen was thin and narrow, but he could eat a lot.

Shi Qianqiu stood behind Chen Jingmo, her hand on his stomach. As the water swayed, her fingertips moved, so she had to use a little force. With her other hand, she held his waist. "Sweetie, you said to use your waist strength, but I didn't hear you clearly. Can you demonstrate it again?"
