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

The waiter bowed in apology, but Shen Qinghuai coldly replied, "No need, Uncle Lu."

This was a trap, deliberately designed to embarrass him. However, he wouldn't feel embarrassed because he wouldn't come to such places again, nor would he come with anyone else. Besides, no one knew him, a nobody, so there was nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.

Shen Qinghuai pinched it with his hand and put it in his mouth, then picked up a towel from the table and wiped his hands clean.

After he finished eating, the waiter next to him said that he should rinse his mouth first, and then whispered that the towel was for putting on his lap.

Shen Qinghuai hummed in agreement and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lu, I've never been to a place like this before, so I don't know anything about it."

I don't understand why I need to rinse my mouth first.

I don't understand why towels can't be used to dry hands.

But making himself appear embarrassed might satisfy Lu Huai-ren's morbid psychology.

"It's okay, you'll get the hang of it after a few more tries."

How about a few more times?

He can't afford it.

Shen Qinghuai looked down at his knees, waiting for Lu Huai Ren to speak.

"I heard you've been getting along really well with my son, Sui Sui, lately."

"……Um."

What do you think of him?

"A man of integrity."

"Oh? He has a bad reputation, and you want to associate with him?"

Lu Huai-ren used the word "play" twice. Did he think he and Lu Sui were friends?

Shen Qinghuai dared not lie, nor dared to take any risks, so he followed Lu Huai Ren's words and said, "At first, I had some prejudice against him because of this."

"No prejudice now?" Lu Huai-ren twirled his thumb ring, his slightly curved eyes devoid of a smile. "It should be gone, after all, you dared to kiss him."

Shen Qinghuai's fingers, resting on his knees, tightened inch by inch, turning white and blue, with veins bulging on the back of his hands, as if his throat had been instantly choked. All his words were forced back by Lu Huai Ren's sharp gaze, leaving only a "...sorry".

"There's nothing to apologize for; it's normal for people to have desires."

Shen Qinghuai wanted to say that his feelings for Lu Sui weren't driven by lust, but Lu Huai Ren obviously wouldn't believe him. Under these circumstances, saying it would only make him look ridiculous.

"But don't be too greedy."

greedy……

Do you think he's after Lu Sui's money?

Shen Qinghuai wondered if he portrayed himself as a villain, would Lu Huai Ren allow him to stay by Lu Sui's side and disgust Lu Sui?

"Qinghuai, I've watched you grow up, he's not right for you."

On the other side, Lu Sui stared at the monitor screen on his phone, repeatedly rewinding the progress bar to watch Shen Qinghuai get into the car, his eyes devoid of emotion.

"Boss, would you like some grape juice? It's 100% pure grape juice, and there's also hawthorn juice. This hawthorn juice is delicious, do you want some?"

"I won't drink it."

Lu Sui had already turned off his phone while Jiang Xiu was speaking, and gave Jiang Xiu the popcorn and spicy strips that Shen Qinghuai had packed for him.

Jiang Xiu was overwhelmed with gratitude, his lips trembling with emotion. He immediately sang two lines: "A grateful heart, thank you for being there."

"..."

"Boss, why do you look unhappy?"

With a doting smile, he sent a message to Lu Sui on his phone.

Little Ginger: Do you miss Senior Shen?

Little Ginger: Let's go find him after class (red exclamation mark)

Jiang Xiu stared wide-eyed, frantically fiddling with his pants, "Boss, boss, why did you block me?"

"It's too noisy, shut up."

When asked to find Shen Qinghuai, Lu Sui didn't get up. Jiang Xiu also sat obediently, secretly glancing at Lu Sui. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lu Sui had removed him from the blacklist.

After all the afternoon classes were over, Lu Sui carried her things downstairs and, as usual, went back to her car first. Chen Jingmo heard the bell and ran downstairs immediately. When she was almost at the gate, she slowed down, saw the familiar car, opened the door, and got in.

"Are you tired?" Shi Qianqiu put Chen Jingmo's bag behind him.

Chen Jingmo shook his head, "I'm not tired. How about you?"

He said, "Maybe you shouldn't come pick me up tomorrow."

"I'm not tired. I'd like to pick you up. You can message me when you don't have class this afternoon, and I'll have the driver take you home. Or you can come to the company if you want."

The atmosphere here is great. Over there, Lu Sui has already started using his mobile phone to scan and inspect, prying out the two round locators and listening devices under the chassis, and breaking off the memory card.

When Shen Qinghuai got on the bus, he was picking petals off a daisy. He had only picked one petal, and the bus window was open. A gust of wind blew the petal off his hand, and he couldn't find it anywhere.

"Chen Jingmo said he has something to do and won't be coming back to the apartment with us tonight." Shen Qinghuai wanted to pinch Lu Sui's cheek, but then, remembering that Lu Huai Ren's men might be watching them, he turned his raised hand around and gripped the steering wheel instead.

"It's dead." Lu Sui showed him the daisies in his hand.

"Then let's... go home and bury it to use as fertilizer for the pothos." Shen Qinghuai rolled up the car window on Lu Sui's side.

"Okay."

As they approached the mall, Shen Qinghuai asked Lu Sui, "Do you want to eat pizza? Shall we buy some cheese? And some fruit too? Let's make a lot of melt-in-your-mouth cookies today, so we can break them into big pieces and eat them."

Your voice is hoarse.

"...Hmm, I'm a little thirsty." Shen Qinghuai parked the car in the mall's parking lot.

As soon as he parked the car, Lu Sui handed him his cup. "You're right, eating too much dry food will make your throat hurt. My mouth is so dry today, I've almost finished drinking all my water, there's only a little left, here you go."

Shen Qinghuai felt comforted by Lu Sui's initiative in caring for him and offering him a water glass. After suppressing his bad mood, he drank the rest of Lu Sui's water. After getting out of the car, he hesitated whether to hold Lu Sui's hand, but Lu Sui naturally took his hand first.

"You seem to have something on your mind."

Shen Qinghuai nodded slightly. "I'll tell you when we get home."

"Now tell me."

"Let's talk about it when we get home." Shen Qinghuai pressed his forehead against Lu Sui's for two seconds. "Good boy."

Lu Sui tiptoed and pressed his lips to Shen Qinghuai's, "I have money, I can solve anything."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghuai knew that Lu Sui knew he had gone to see Lu Huai Ren that afternoon, and his heart immediately calmed down. He took Lu Sui's hand and went into the supermarket to buy cheese and some fruit, and also got some snacks for Lu Sui. He paid with his family card. Shen Qinghuai pursed his lips and put the things in the trunk.

When he got home, Shen Qinghuai put the daisies in the potted green ivy, heated up a nutritious meal, took his iPad to the kitchen, opened a pizza tutorial and started kneading the dough. When he saw Lu Sui come in, he moved the small table and stool to the corner, put an apron on Lu Sui, and felt a coolness on his lips. Lu Sui pinched a lychee-flavored candy between his slightly cool fingertips and fed it to him. He put it in his mouth and said, "Thank you, baby."

After putting on his apron, Lu Sui didn't sit on the stool but stood next to Shen Qinghuai, watching the tutorial with him as he kneaded and pulled noodles. Shen Qinghuai kissed Lu Sui's ear, "Want to try?"

"It will get your hands dirty."

"It's okay, I'll lick it clean for you."

"?"

Shen Qinghuai remained expressionless. "I misspoke. I meant to help you clean yourself up."

Lu Sui was tempted to give it a try. He poked the dough and said, "It's ready."

If you touch it again, you really should wash your hands, because Shen Qinghuai will lick his fingers again, just like he said before.

Bad guy.

Shen Qinghuai, whose hands were full, smiled and nuzzled his face against hers, "So cute."

"Do you like it?"

"I love it! I love it to death!" Shen Qinghuai whispered to Lu Sui, "How about I be the shopping mall tonight, and you be the parking lot?"
