Witches, please stop thinking about me!

If something is similar in nature to having your browsing history kept secret, then having your app's browsing history discovered is almost the same thing...

Especially since the discoverer was a particularly beautiful and sexy woman...

The feeling was like being suddenly discovered during takeoff.

The moment Liu Mei exposed him, Lin Jiu felt as if his scalp was about to fly off.

So much so that he didn't even have time to catch a glimpse of Liu Mei's graceful figure as she turned and bent over...

Lin Jiu didn't know how he fell asleep; he had slept very poorly the night before.

When he woke up, Liu Mei was no longer in the villa.

Li Mo made him breakfast. And you know what? Although Li Mo always had a blank expression, his cooking skills were actually quite good.

"Do you need me to take you home?"

"what?"

Lin Jiu, who was changing her shoes in front of the shoe rack, turned around and glanced at Li Mo in a daze when she heard Li Mo speak.

"The young lady said that if you need, I can take you back."

After thinking about it, Lin Jiu decided against letting Li Mo take her home.

Now that it's not a big deal, I'll just take a taxi when I need to. And then Lin Jiu actually ran into the same ride-hailing driver from last time.

Unlike his previous silence, this time the driver was very enthusiastic.

He was implying that he wanted to learn from Lin Jiu how to find a rich woman like Liu Mei.

After all, in his view, finding a rich woman is not a skill; finding one who is both beautiful and rich is truly impressive.

Finding a rich woman can be solved by being good in bed, but finding a beautiful rich woman requires more than just being good in bed.

Faced with the driver's subtle probing, Lin Jiu was too embarrassed to say anything.

To be honest, he still doesn't understand what his relationship with Liu Mei is.

He wanted things to be simple, but he always felt that Liu Mei had some other ideas.

But he was also afraid that this was a smokescreen by Liu Mei, who wanted to win him over because of their working relationship, and was deliberately trying to keep him in suspense.

In addition, Liu Mei herself was also in danger, and there was a difference in their social status.

Lin Jiu had no doubt about Liu Mei's charm, but he lacked confidence in his own self-control.

It always feels like one of the three great illusions of life...

People like Liu Mei, who tried to take something but failed to hold onto it, can truly ruin their lives.

After returning home from school, Lin Jiu slipped two more origami cranes into the stairwell of Zhao Yingying's building.

He really wanted to find an opportunity to tell Zhao Yingying that he would cover her tuition and living expenses during college.

But if I really say that, the girl will most likely not accept it, and might even stop talking to me.

Since the incident, the only time Zhao Yingying sought help from others was when Zhao Yuru couldn't bear the blow and chose to end her own life.

To this day, the mother and daughter have never asked anyone for help again, which shows that they still have a sense of self-respect.

Although they are weak, they still hope to be treated equally.

Speaking rashly will most likely backfire.

Unable to come up with a solution after much thought, Lin Jiu decided to continue picking Zhao Yingying up from school.

Since she has nothing better to do anyway, Zhao Yingying is likely to be isolated in her current state.

Even if she doesn't do anything, just going to visit her would be some comfort to her.

At Rongcheng No. 3 Middle School, Zhao Yingying is diligently following her teacher's pace, practicing questions in preparation for the upcoming college entrance examination.

She had always been a good student, consistently ranking among the top three in the entire school during junior high, which was the source of her confidence and pride.

She has good grades and looks like a baby, so naturally she has no shortage of people who flatter her.

During the break, Zhao Yingying rubbed her sore neck in the single seat that the teacher had specially arranged for her in the last row.

There's not much the teacher can do for her, except to fight for what she should fight for, and that's about it.

It can only be a corner where the little girl, who has never asked for help from those around her even though life is so difficult, and who has maintained her little bit of pride and self-respect, can be left undisturbed.

She didn't tell others about her suffering; she was allowed to stay naturally in the classroom.

And as much as possible, be more patient with her when she encounters problems in her studies.

After a day of studying, Zhao Yingying walked out with the crowd.

Perhaps it was Lin Jiu's sudden appearance that day that gave her a glimmer of hope, or perhaps it was the stories of the male and female protagonists in the old book she had picked up that stirred her heartstrings.

She glanced around at the crowd, and then saw a figure carrying two bottles of drinks under the maple tree by the roadside.

Without exchanging greetings, the two walked side by side in silence.

It was still a twisted-open drink. Zhao Yingying reached out, took it, and sipped it.

"From now on... if you don't mind, I'll try my best to pick you up whenever I have time."

"Um..."

A barely perceptible response reached their ears on the wind, and their shadows stretched side by side forward in the setting sun.

He skillfully puts the plastic bottles he encounters on the street into his bag, and occasionally, he will hand over an empty bottle.

She was used to the strange looks from those around her, but she was afraid he wouldn't.

She only breathed a sigh of relief when she secretly glanced at his expression, which remained calm.

As we continued forward, the sky grew darker and darker.

There was an old bicycle lying by the roadside, abandoned by someone. Lin Jiu got there before Zhao Yingying and hoisted it onto her shoulder.

"Give it to me, it's dirty..."

"Just wash it."

Zhao Yingying stopped speaking, because she sensed his determination.

As she looked down at the surrounding trash cans, a happy smile involuntarily crept onto her face.

The light grew dimmer and dimmer, as dark as night.

Clang.

An old bicycle was left lying to the side, and suddenly his wrist was grabbed.

Zhao Yingying looked up in confusion, only managing to catch a glimpse of two bright moons in the sky.

Before I could even think about what had happened, I was picked up and hidden in a dark, secluded building corridor.

"Brother Lin Jiu..."

"Don't speak."

A tense voice came from nearby, and Zhao Yingying subconsciously looked around.

"roar!!"

A chilling roar erupted, and Lin Jiu's tense breaths came through Zhao Yingying's cheek, which was pressed against his chest.

thump.

Heavy footsteps echoed on the street outside, and Zhao Yingying trembled in fear.

Before the entrance to the dark stairwell, a pale foreleg, as thick as an elephant's leg and covered with dense tentacles, came into view.

Lin Jiu took a deep breath and began to activate the surrounding dark elements.

However, Lin Jiu discovered that compared to the ease with which he merged with Liu Mei, communicating with the dark element on his own was now significantly more difficult.

Even though he was frantically guiding dark elements to condense around him, he only managed to create two black spheres without any special abilities.

Instead, forcibly activating the dark element caused his brain to throb with pain, and blood kept flowing from his nose, dripping onto Zhao Yingying's head in his arms.

The sleeve of her school uniform was crumpled into a ball and stuffed into her nostril. Lin Jiu looked at Zhao Yingying, who was trembling with fear and pursing her lips tightly.

Her messy hair fell backward due to gravity, revealing her increasingly delicate face below.
