Sheng Qiming had just returned home from the hospital after his injury was treated when his father's slippers came into view. He skillfully dodged them and said with displeasure, "What are you doing? I haven't done anything wrong lately."

Mr. Sheng angrily retorted, "If you hadn't done anything wrong, would Zhou and Huaizhi have called me repeatedly to give you a good talking-to?"

"What?" Sheng Qiming's eyes widened. When did he offend the two of them?

Although his father asked them to keep a close eye on him outside, there was no need for them to all complain against him, was there? Besides, they were slanderers, pure and simple slanderers.

Sheng Qiming was very indignant, and his father asked, "Who slapped you in the face?"

"Zong Yan, I told you not to hit someone in the face," Sheng Qiming said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Sheng became even angrier, "Well, what have you done to offend all your friends at once!"

Sheng Qiming: "?"

Sheng Qiming was furious. He was being held captive at home by his father, and in his anger, he called He Zaizhou and Shao Huaizhi to hurl insults at them one by one.

However, no one answered his calls, and his messages were rejected.

Sheng Qiming coughed up a mouthful of blood. He turned around and called Lin Su again, but she didn't answer his calls.

Enraged, he switched to sending text messages, sending over a dozen at once to condemn her.

"Buzzing".

Lin Su's phone, which was on the bedside table, kept ringing. A hand that clearly belonged to a man picked it up, casually entered the password, and logged in.

It was an unknown number without a contact name, and more than a dozen messages were all condemning Lin Su for not answering his calls.

The tone was all too familiar. Zong Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and casually dialed back.

"Lin Su! Why didn't you answer my call just now? You hung up on me yesterday, and your boyfriend really did hit me. Why don't you believe me?"

When Sheng Qiming saw the call coming back, he answered excitedly, "I already gave you an apartment, and your boyfriend still hit me. He's so unreasonable, you should be with him..."

"Zong Yan." Lin Su entered the bedroom and saw Zong Yan leaning against the headboard holding her phone. The call seemed to be going on, so she called out without thinking.

Sheng Qiming's voice stopped abruptly. Zong Yan, holding his phone, raised his eyelids and looked at the woman standing at the door. "Wife, come here."

Lin Su walked over in small steps, glanced at her phone screen, and asked, "Who called me?"

"A lunatic." Zong Yan glanced down at him. Sheng Qiming had already hung up the phone in a particularly cowardly manner. He scoffed and casually tossed his phone aside.

"He actually came all the way to you to complain," Zong Yan said with a sneer, putting his arm around Lin Su's waist. "Don't you think he's crazy?"

Lin Su: "What's wrong with him now?"

Zong Yan: "He's always being sarcastic and won't behave unless he's beaten up."

Lin Su: "Is it serious?"

Zong Yan raised an eyebrow. "What, he actually succeeded in suing me?"

Lin Su shook her head. "No, but you're friends, why are you fighting?"

"I only hit him because we're friends." Zong Yan pinched her cheek. "Besides, when he talked about you, weren't you angry?"

Lin Su wasn't angry. What she said was true; she wasn't pretty enough, but her boyfriend was indeed tall, handsome, and rich.

Lin Su lowered her head and pressed her forehead against Zong Yan's, then kissed him on the lips, her voice soft, "You're so good to me."

Zong Yan chuckled, "Good to know. Remember to repay me."

"Um?"

"Loving me well is the best way to repay me," Zongyan said.

"Um."

……

In the stillness of the night, Zong Yan heard steady breathing beside him. He sat up, shook off his pajamas from the floor, put them on, and walked out of the bedroom barefoot.

Pushing open the study door, Zong Yan sat on a sandalwood chair, crossed his legs, and casually scrolled through a mobile phone.

He went into his call history and focused on looking for numbers and text messages that had no notes.

After browsing for a while, he discovered that, apart from some junk guys, Sheng Qiming was actually the person who called and texted her the most.

However, Zong Yan deleted him from WeChat, so he could only send text messages to Lin Sufa. Fortunately, he was still polite, otherwise Zong Yan would have come to his house that night to beat him up.

The call logs were clean. Zongyan then opened WeChat, where he found only a few dozen WeChat friends, each with a note.

Zong Yan started clicking from the bottom all the way to the top, where his WeChat profile picture was pinned—the only one pinned.

He clicked in and took a look, then suddenly snorted. At that moment, it was already getting light outside.

Zong Yan stretched his sore neck, yawned, and felt incredibly stupid for not spending this precious time sleeping with his girlfriend instead of staring at his cold, impersonal phone.

He returned to the bedroom, where the figure on the bed was still fast asleep. However, when Zong Yan lay down and hugged her, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his waist.

Zong Yan lowered his head and kissed her forehead, his voice gentle in the dark room, "Sweetie, go to sleep."

Lin Su slept until nine o'clock. When she woke up, Zong Yan had already gone to work, and her phone was neatly placed on the bedside table.

After quickly tidying up, Lin Su went to school.

Once she was seated in the classroom, she checked her phone. Her social media was actually quite simple, as there were only a few people on it, and you could see the bottom after scrolling down a few times.

Lin Su didn't know why her WeChat friend Zong Yan could watch for several hours.

She herself didn't think it was anything special, but he still secretly looked at it. Sometimes she really didn't understand him.

"Hello, classmate, did you do your homework from last week? Can I borrow it to take a look?" Lin Su was in a daze when a clear female voice asked.

She turned her head and realized that someone was sitting on her outside. Someone had sat next to her in class before, but they never talked and left after class.

Xu Shuqing met her gaze, smiled at her, and said generously, "There are some formats I don't understand, so I'd like to borrow yours to take a look."

"Okay, how do I send it to you?" Lin Su asked, holding her phone.

"Let's add each other as friends," Xu Shuqing said, handing over her phone with a smile. "I'm also in Class 1, so we can keep each other informed if anything happens in our class."

"My name is Xu Shuqing," she introduced herself again.

Lin Su also gave her name, and after adding her as a friend, she sent her the file. Just then, the teacher arrived, and she looked up to listen attentively to the lesson.

After class, as she was tidying up her books, Xu Shuqing said, "Are you going to the cafeteria for lunch? Let's go together."

Lin Su paused for a moment, pursed her lips and nodded. Xu Shuqing immediately took her arm in a familiar manner, and her little mouth never stopped talking on the way from the classroom to the cafeteria.

It turned out that she arrived a month late for school because of family matters, and she didn't live on campus, so she didn't have anyone to talk to during class.

After a week of observation, she chose Lin Su, who was attentive in class and had a quiet temperament, and seemed easy to get along with.

Lin Su felt a little embarrassed when she heard that she paid attention in class, as she sometimes played on her phone during class.

Xu Shuqing laughed and said, "Then I'll just skip class."

As the two approached the cafeteria, Lin Su saw Shao Huaizhi coming out of the cafeteria.

Because there were other people around, she hesitated whether to greet him, but he had already walked towards her.
