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

"What other video could it be!" Chen Jingmo tossed his spare phone to Shen Qinghuai. "See for yourself."

"I didn't want to record this, but it happened in the early hours of the morning, and I thought maybe you wouldn't have seen it... and you really didn't! Are you an idiot? Sleeping so soundly!" Chen Jingmo kicked the wall again. "And I even called Lu Huai Ren 'Uncle,' that guy is a beast! A bastard, a worthless piece of trash!"

"How can you treat your own child like this? Hitting him..." Chen Jingmo's eyes reddened. "Just watching him hurts, but Lu Sui endured it without uttering a sound."

"Damn it, if murder weren't illegal, I'd go kill Lu Huai-ren right now!"

"Although Chen Yunting wasn't good to me, he never hit me like this. No, this isn't just hitting, this is pure abuse!"

Shen Qinghuai's eyes instantly became bloodshot, his hands trembled slightly, barely able to hold his phone, and his breathing was shaky. The air seemed to be a knife, cutting his nasal cavity and throat, causing him excruciating pain.

He saw Lu Sui chained around the neck, saw Lu Sui beaten and curled up on the ground, unable to get up, except for the slight rise and fall of his chest that proved he was still alive, saw the cat that had been strangled to death, Lu Huai Ren's distorted expression, saw the origin of the scar on Lu Sui's lower back... How could his small body bleed so much? No wonder he wasn't allowed to buy a knife at the supermarket before, no wonder he was in poor health, he hadn't been properly cared for, how could his body be healthy?

"This morning Chen Yunting said that Lu Huai Ren was arrested by the police. Lu Sui's way of protecting you is to release these videos to the public. He's always been very proud, and there will probably be many more like this in the future—hey, where are you going?"

"Take him home."

Shen Qinghuai wanted to take Lu Sui home so that these disgusting people at school wouldn't bother Lu Sui.

At the entrance of the art department classroom.

Shen Qinghuai appeared and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

"Please ask Lu Sui for leave; he had a fever last night and it hasn't gotten better."

Upon hearing that it was for Lu Sui's sake, who dared to stop him? The tutor symbolically asked how long the leave would be, and Shen Qinghuai replied, "I'll come when I'm better."

Shen Qinghuai walked towards the corner, thinking about how Lu Sui had said that his easel had been deliberately knocked over and soaked when it rained, and he wanted to smash everything here.

At the Lu family home, Lu Huai-ren and Fang Yu bullied Lu Sui. At school, most people secretly mocked her, while some openly disliked her, all bullying Lu Sui. That's why Lu Sui said this the first time he made her cry—

You're all bullying me.

He was also bullying Lu Sui.

When they first got together, Lu Sui's eyes were sometimes visibly red, but he didn't care. Lu Sui stood up for him, but he angered Lu Sui instead. So what if he killed someone with a paperweight? He could just pay compensation. Anyway, the other person wasn't a good person and deserved to be taught a lesson.

Shen Qinghuai half-squatted in front of Lu Sui and packed his things.

"Class time."

"Let's not go anymore, let's go home."

Jiang Xiu, who was standing next to him, also saw the video. He was writing fan fiction last night when his screen was flooded with one Weibo push notification after another. When he clicked on them, his eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying. This morning, he startled Jiang Wang, who said he thought he was dead and that Jiang Xiu was mourning him.

Jiang Xiu immediately knelt down, forbidding Jiang Wang from saying the word "death." He hugged Jiang Wang's leg, crying with snot and tears streaming down his face, begging him to use underhanded tricks on Lu Huai Ren, preferably to tie Lu Huai Ren up and beat him up.

He arrived at the classroom very early today, bringing a lot of food. He waited for a long time before Lu Sui arrived. He wanted to say something to comfort Lu Sui. He felt sorry for Lu Sui, but he felt that if he said it, it would sound pitiful and make Lu Sui feel worse, so he decided not to mention it.

Shen Qinghuai saw the large bag of snacks. He looked up and met Lu Sui's gaze. Lu Sui was about to open his mouth, but then closed it again, tilting his chin slightly towards Jiang Xiu. Shen Qinghuai nodded knowingly.

Shen Qinghuai put the things that Lu Sui couldn't fit in his crossbody bag into his own bag, bent down, picked Lu Sui up with one hand, took two steps, and said to Jiang Xiu, "Could you please bring his easel back after school this afternoon and leave it at the door? Thank you."

He doesn't have a free hand right now, so he can't hold the easel.

Don't ask why I don't let go of Lu Sui.

Because Shen Qinghuai didn't want to let go, he wanted to hold on to her.

"Mmm." Jiang Xiu watched Shen Qinghuai carry Lu Sui away, feeling both like crying and somewhat relieved.

He didn't know where this feeling of relief came from, but he knew that if anyone dared to speak ill of Lu Sui and Shen Qinghuai again, he would never lightly curse them like before. He would curse them so badly they couldn't lift their heads, he would curse them so badly they would never find a sugar daddy for the rest of their lives! He would also have his brother find out all these people's information and chase after them to curse them!

Lu Sui was somewhat surprised when Shen Qinghuai picked him up. He swallowed back his exclamation and the words he wanted to say to put him down when he saw Shen Qinghuai's red eyes. He quietly held Shen Qinghuai and no longer concealed their relationship.

Go ahead and guess whatever you want. What's wrong with guys dating? Is it illegal? Whose law are they breaking? What law are they breaking?

"Don't cry."

"I couldn't control myself." Shen Qinghuai's voice was hoarse. He smelled the faint scent of wormwood on Lu Sui's breath and thought to himself, "No wonder he didn't speak earlier."

He asked Lu Sui, "How many cigarettes did you smoke today?"

"One."

"to be honest."

"...Three."

"Please try not to smoke in the future, okay?"

"Um."

Shen Qinghuai opened the car door and put Lu Sui in the passenger seat. After putting his things away, he drove back to the apartment. Once inside, he took off his coat, picked up Lu Sui, and sat her on the sofa. He didn't dare to hug her too tightly, but looked at Lu Sui's face and leaned close to touch it.

Lu Suiwei's cool fingertips touched the corner of Shen Qinghuai's eye, frowning helplessly, "You have so many tears, you've been crying all the way."

"I couldn't hold back anymore. I saw the video. There was something wrong with the water last night. Did you put sleeping pills in it? I usually wake up in the middle of the night to cover you with a blanket. I couldn't possibly be sleeping so soundly," Shen Qinghuai said. "You must be in a lot of pain. You must have lost a lot of blood. Why didn't you call the police?"

"That happened a few years ago, it doesn't hurt now... This time, Grandpa helped me. Before, I didn't have him, and I didn't collect much evidence. I don't know how to manipulate things with a computer, and calling the police is useless... Don't cry, I'm getting revenge for myself."

It's not just for you.

So stop crying.

"My eyes are swollen."

Where did you go last night?

"..."

"Tell me, okay?"

"...Lu Huai Ren's family took Fang Yu away."

Are you sleepy now? I'll lull you to sleep.

"Sleepy."

Lu Sui didn't sleep well and had nightmares all night, but in the end he dreamed of Shen Qinghuai. Shen Qinghuai smiled and said to Lu Sui's chest, but when he saw Lu Sui crying, he said, "Really," and only behaved after being slapped.

Shen Qinghuai let Lu Sui sit on his lap and sleep, hugged Lu Sui and patted him, and seeing Lu Sui's tired face, kissed him on the forehead.

Chen Jingmo: Don't mention this in front of Lu Sui. Let's talk about it tomorrow or the day after. Aren't you good at cooking? Cook for him. Take him out to play, or even play games, to distract him.

Chen Jingmo: Shen Qinghuai, if you ever dare to treat Lu Sui badly in the future, I'll be the first to object and I'll just draw my 800-meter-long sword and chop you up!

Shen Qinghuai: I will treat him well, I promise.

Shen Qinghuai didn't have Weibo on his phone. He had just downloaded and opened it when all the trending topics were about Lu Sui.
