The sweet and gentle boy is actually crazy and bad.

Wen Yisheng went to the library on the third floor. The books on the third floor were from an unpopular section, and there were usually very few students reading there. At this time, there was practically no one there.

It was quiet here, with a light dust floating in the air. The girl walked briskly through the book aisle, glancing back at the bookshelves to see if the boy she was looking for was there.

No. Where is he?

As she was wondering, an arm suddenly reached out from the bookshelf in front of her and pulled her over.

Wen Yisheng was so startled that she leaned back and almost screamed softly. Wen Zhi smiled and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "Ah Sheng is so slow. I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Why did you make me come out?" Wen Yisheng steadied herself and gently brushed his hand away.

Long after the isolation, Wen Yisheng's wounds had healed, but her dependence on Wen Zhi remained unchanged.

She even began to feel somewhat comfortable and enjoy his meticulous care, though she sometimes told herself that this was wrong...

But every time she had the thought of wanting to be independent, Wen Zhi would appear at the right time and quietly erode her little thoughts.

He completely controlled their minds and spirits.

Wen Zhi gently brushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear with his fingertips, his tone casual, "Have you thought it through? Will you choose humanities or sciences in your second year?"

Wen Yisheng's grades in science and engineering subjects were average.

"Choose a text," she said softly.

Wen Zhi didn't react unusually, only idly playing with her soft, stray hairs. "I'll choose science. But if that happens, we'll have very few opportunities to spend time together at school..."

Wen Yisheng knew this, of course. She lowered her head and remained silent.

She remembered that he had once said something like... that he wanted her to choose science too.

Wen Zhi's expression turned indifferent, his eyes dark and unfathomable. "But this is the only way. After all, studying is the most important thing. I can't force Asheng to choose science. What kind of person would my brother become? That would be too unreasonable."

Wen Yisheng was slightly surprised and raised her eyes to look at him.

Wen Zhi smiled. "What's wrong?"

"No, it's fine." Wen Yisheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't seem to be that much of a sister-complex.

Wen Zhi's smile deepened, but it didn't reach his eyes.

Once they reach the legal marriage age and get their marriage certificate, these short separations won't seem like a big deal anymore.

As for whether Wen Yisheng is willing to marry him... Wen Zhi wouldn't even consider that question.

Of course, who else could she be with in this life if not him?

If the soft approach doesn't work, he'll try the hard one; he has plenty of ways to make her obey.

After the last subject of the final exams was over, everyone returned to their respective classes. After the homeroom teacher finished the last class meeting, everyone cleaned up the classroom and then packed their bags and left the school building.

Summer vacation begins at this moment.

Wen Yisheng's summer vacation was monotonous yet fulfilling. She practiced dancing at Fanxing Dance Studio in the morning and worked in the afternoon.

It seems Wen Zhi didn't have any plans for the summer vacation. He just stayed in Hetang Bay, and provided her with three meals a day and picked her up and dropped her off from get off work every day.

That day, Lu Zhizhou came over for a free meal: "Brother Zhi, I never expected you could cook so well. It's better than any of the famous foreign chefs I have at home."

Indeed, men in love are terrifying.

There's nothing he can't do.

Wen Zhi frowned, not even wanting to give him a second glance.

His gaze fell on Wen Yisheng, who was eating quietly. He smiled and picked up a piece of fish and handed it to her: "Eat more."

Wen Zhi took out a pen and paper from his pocket and said softly, "By the way, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll write it down."

"Anything is fine, as long as it's basic." Wen Yisheng has recently gained four pounds, which is really tough for a dancer.

Wen Zhi nodded and wrote in his notebook: Dinner will be entirely vegetarian.

Lu Zhizhou felt that he was somewhat superfluous in this situation.

The way Wen Zhi looked at Wen Yisheng and the gentle tone in which she spoke to him truly frightened him, giving him goosebumps.

After the meal, Wen Zhi drove her to work. Lu Zhizhou had come with a driver and happened to hitch a ride with him.

Wen Yisheng waved to the two of them and ran into the mall.

Lu Zhizhou's phone rang. After answering and saying a few words, he hung up. He turned to Wen Zhi and said, "Brother Zhi, Qilin is at the airport. His home isn't in Beijing, so he's staying at my house since he came to Nanchuan to study."

Wen Zhi nodded. "You're going to pick him up from the airport?"

"Hmm," Lu Zhizhou paused for a moment, then said, "Brother Zhi, why don't we go together? You don't have anything to do at home."

Wen Zhi's expression was indifferent, and he casually curved his lips. "No, I'm going home to prepare dinner for my Ah Sheng."

Lu Zhizhou said, "We just finished lunch..."

Wen Zhi didn't say anything more, opened the door and got out of the car.

Lu Zhizhou scratched his head, got out of the car, and chased after him. "Brother Zhi, the last time we met... hey, don't take it to heart. Qilin and I grew up together. He's a really good guy, just young and sometimes immature."

Last time Lu Zhizhou organized a gathering, he introduced them to each other.

Unexpectedly, Qi Lin didn't even give Wen Zhi a second glance, and Wen Zhi's initial gentle and polite demeanor vanished as a result.

Lu Zhizhou still felt embarrassed when he recalled that scene.

Afterwards, he naturally dragged Qilin out of the private room and berated him, asking him what he meant and what his attitude towards Wen Zhi was.

Qi Lin was scolded, then touched his ear, looking lazy as if he didn't understand what the scolder was saying.

It wasn't until later, after the dinner was over, that Qi Lin gave him an explanation: "I just didn't like the look of him. Was there anything wrong with my attitude? I just didn't fawn over him like you did. There was absolutely nothing wrong with me."

Lu Zhizhou rolled his eyes in anger. Was he fawning over Wen Zhi? That's something only a dog would do!

These two seem to be natural enemies; it's best to keep them away from each other in the future.
