Weird Rules: I'm so handsome, they all want to seduce me.

Lu Yun Shen stood there, watching her back as the gentle smile on his face slowly faded away.

In the end, only a gloomy chill remained.

He looked down at the expensive box of pastries in his hand, a twisted smile spreading across his face.

"What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for..." he muttered, his voice filled with suppressed anger. "She's just the daughter of a warlord, does she really think she's some kind of precious princess?"

The screen flashed.

It's still Lu Yun Shen, but the scene has changed to a pavilion in the school's back garden.

He sat on a stone bench, opposite a girl dressed simply but with sparkling eyes.

It is Shen Qinghe.

When she was young, Shen Qinghe's face still showed a bit of timidity, but the way she looked at Lu Yunshen was so intense that it was almost burning.

"Senior Lu, you were looking for me?" Shen Qinghe asked softly.

Lu Yun Shen put on his gentle mask again. He sighed and said in a low voice, "Junior Sister Qing He, I... I'm heartbroken, and I can only talk to you about it."

Shen Qinghe immediately tensed up: "Senior, what's wrong? Is it... that the woman in red... again..."

"Don't mention her." Lu Yun Shen waved his hand, his face full of pain. "I treated her with all my heart, always going along with her wishes, giving her the best things in the house... But what did she do? She rejected me every time, always gave me the cold shoulder. In all my life, I, Lu Yun Shen, have never suffered such humiliation!"

Shen Qinghe was heartbroken, twisting the hem of her clothes in her hands: "Senior, don't be sad... It's just that Hongyi doesn't understand how good you are to her. She... she's probably just spoiled by her family and doesn't know what's good for her..."

Lu Yun Shen looked up and gave Shen Qing He a deep look. Suddenly, he reached out and grasped Shen Qing He's hand, which was resting on the stone table.

Shen Qinghe trembled, her face instantly turning red.

"Qinghe," Lu Yunshen said in a low, seductive voice, "you're the only one in the whole school who truly understands me."

"You know my ambitions, you know my difficulties... unlike her, who only cares about herself."

"Senior, senior..." Shen Qinghe's heart was pounding like a drum.

"I know you're good to me." Lu Yun Shen stroked the back of her hand, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. "I also know that Hong Yi... sometimes her words and actions may have unintentionally hurt you."

"She's straightforward and spoiled by her family, so she doesn't understand social etiquette. Don't take it to heart."

These words really hit Shen Qinghe where it hurt.

She remembered the clothes and snacks that Jiang Hongyi had casually given her that she couldn't afford, remembered how others always said, "Hongyi is so good to you," and remembered the bitterness and inferiority in her heart that she couldn't suppress.

"I...I don't blame her..." Shen Qinghe bit her lip, but the resentment in her eyes was impossible to hide.

"You're kind." Lu Yunshen released his grip and sighed, "But I can't just stand by and watch you suffer."

"How about this... In a few days, I'll find a way to get her to apologize to you in person, and also... teach her a little lesson so she can change her spoiled brat attitude."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and won't really hurt her."

"It's just to scare her a little, to let her know that not everyone will spoil her like her family does."

Shen Qinghe's eyes lit up: "Really? Senior, you...you're willing to stand up for me?"

"Of course," Lu Yunshen smiled. "You are my most important... friend."

The screen flickered violently again.

This time, it was night.

The location was this dormitory room 308, but it was much newer than it is now.

Jiang Hongyi, dressed in her pajamas, was cornered against the wall, her face pale.

Five shady-looking strangers stood before her, blocking all her way.

At the dormitory entrance, Lu Yun Shen stood there with a complicated expression.

Beside him was Shen Qinghe, her face beaming with a gleeful and maniacal smile.

"Lu Yunshen! Shen Qinghe! What do you want to do?!" Jiang Hongyi's voice trembled, but her back was straight, and she tightly gripped the pair of scissors in her hand—the dowry scissors her mother had given her.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qinghe took a step forward, her smile twisted. "Red dress, my good sister, we're here to 'teach' you a lesson."

"I'll teach you to see clearly what you really are!"

"Qinghe, stop talking." Lu Yunshen frowned. He looked at Jiang Hongyi, his eyes filled with struggle, but more so with resentment and unwillingness that had been suppressed after being rejected many times. "Hongyi, as long as you behave tonight, agree to marry me, and listen to me from now on, I promise you will be fine."

"Your Jiang family is no longer in power. A marriage alliance with my Lu family is your best way out..."

"Pah!" Jiang Hongyi spat at his feet. "Lu Yunshen, I saw through you long ago! You don't love me at all; you're just after the Jiang family's wealth and power! You want to be the master of the Jiang family? You're dreaming!"

Lu Yunshen's face instantly turned ashen.

Shen Qinghe burst into laughter, turning to Lu Yunshen and saying, "Brother Yunshen, did you see that? She's so ungrateful! Even at a time like this, she's still acting like a spoiled young lady!"

She suddenly pulled out a pair of the same scissors from her bosom—much more ordinary in style, but very sharp.

"Why waste your breath on her!" Shen Qinghe's eyes were vicious. "Brother Yun Shen, didn't you say you wanted to teach her a lesson? I'll do it!"

She raised the scissors and rushed towards Jiang Hongyi.

Jiang Hongyi gritted her teeth and swung the scissors in her hand to defend herself.

But how could a girl like her possibly stop it?

In the chaos, Shen Qinghe's scissors plunged deep into Jiang Hongyi's shoulder!

Blood gushed out instantly.

"Ah—!" Jiang Hongyi cried out in pain, and the scissors in her hand clattered to the ground.

Shen Qinghe pulled out the scissors, ready to stab again.

"Stop!" Lu Yunshen suddenly shouted.

He looked at Jiang Hongyi's blood-stained shoulder and her pale yet still stubborn face. Those eyes, which once held only indifference and rejection, were now filled with pain and despair, yet they still shone with an astonishing light.

Something deep inside Lu Yunshen was suddenly struck hard.

A distorted, belated "love," a mixture of possessiveness and a desire for conquest, suddenly surged up.

"Enough!" He stepped forward, stopping Shen Qinghe. "Don't kill her!"

Shen Qinghe froze, staring at him in disbelief: "Brother Yun Shen? You...you've softened your heart? Just for this bitch?!"

Lu Yun Shen ignored her and looked at Jiang Hongyi. His voice softened: "Hongyi, you... you beg me, beg me and I'll save you."

"From now on, stay with me, and I promise I'll treat you well. The Jiang family's things will still be yours, I..."

Jiang Hongyi smiled.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, yet his smile was utterly ironic.

"Lu Yun Shen," she said softly, but every word was like a knife, "I would rather die than beg a hypocritical beast like you."

She looked down at the pair of scissors on the ground that belonged to her and were stained with her own blood.

Then, with her last bit of strength, she lunged forward and grabbed the scissors.

It wasn't aimed at anyone.

Instead, without hesitation, he slashed at his own neck.

Blood blossoms bloom.

Lu Yunshen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

Shen Qinghe was also stunned.
