the next day.

Early in the morning, the school's courier station called Wen Yisheng.

"Is this Wen Yisheng? Please come and pick up your package as soon as possible."

"oh."

Wen Yisheng was washing up. She didn't have early classes today and slept in. She had just woken up and was still a little groggy. She mumbled a reply, but the call ended before it was even finished.

She does have a package to pick up.

The logistics were pretty fast though; I placed the order yesterday at noon and it arrived first thing this morning.

I didn't think about it too much.

Wen Yisheng changed out of her pajamas, left the dormitory building, and rode a shared bicycle on campus to the express delivery point.

She rode her bicycle, dappled sunlight filtering through the sycamore branches and falling on her. The summer breeze ruffled her hair, revealing a bare face, yet she was the most eye-catching sight, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

After picking up the package, a sense of doubt arose in my mind.

She bought underwear, but why is this package box so big?

Wen Yisheng took out her phone from her bag to check the logistics information, but it showed that the underwear she ordered had not been shipped yet.

"..."

This is strange.

She carefully examined the shipping label on the package. There was no sender's name on it, but the recipient's name and phone number were indeed listed.

She shook the package, and a crisp sound of small objects colliding came from inside.

Hmm, it's probably not a bomb.

With people coming and going in broad daylight, there was nothing to be afraid of. Wen Yisheng found a shady roadside bench to sit down and opened the package.

Upon opening the package, I was immediately struck by its beauty.

Wen Yisheng couldn't help but gasp...

Rabbits, rabbits, all I see are various kinds of rabbits.

There are StellaLou and Judy Hopps plush toys, as well as various co-branded keychains and pens.

The workmanship is exquisite, and you can tell it's an authentic product at a glance. There are also other cute bunny designs; it's practically a whole bunny family!

There's also Bonnie the Bunny.

Wen Yisheng flipped through it, then pouted, showing the slight disappointment one gets when opening a blind box.

Where is Bonnie's lover, Sampoo?

Judy Hopps will be with Nick Wilde too, right...?

The package was full of female rabbits; my partner wasn't there.

and many more.

Is this the key point? Wen Yisheng was suddenly stunned, her excited mind slowly returning to rationality.

She admitted that she was bewildered for more than ten seconds by this family of rabbits of unknown origin.

Who delivered it?

Wen Yisheng picked up a Stellar ballpoint pen and thought of something.

Yes, Wen Zhi?

Yesterday he deliberately stepped on his rabbit pen, and today a package full of rabbits appeared out of nowhere...

Is this compensation?

That's insane.

Just thinking about it made Wen Yisheng's blood run cold.

Looking at the package again, those rabbits no longer seemed cute.

In an instant, it transformed into a terrifying rabbit with a sinister, ghostly glow and a hideous face.

Whether it was psychological or not, she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if she were being spied on and watched. She turned her head but didn't see anything.

Wen Yisheng's heart sank. With a blank expression, she casually put the package into the trash can.

Only after her figure disappeared did Wen Zhi emerge from the shadowy corner.

He had no expression, glanced at the package that had been thrown away like trash, his lips were pressed straight, and his eyes were lifeless.

-

Peking University will have a three-day holiday for the Dragon Boat Festival in June.

The school was much quieter during the holidays. The campus avenues were less crowded with bicycles in the mornings, with only some out-of-town students staying on campus.

Wen Yisheng was all alone, with nowhere to go during the holiday, and she was the only one left in the dormitory.

She applied for a translation job in advance. It was for a large multinational company. Normally, a college student like her wouldn't even be qualified to apply, let alone the company hire a novice part-time worker.

However, the interview went very smoothly.

I passed the interview at Yizhong! HR told me I can start work tomorrow. It feels unbelievable, but I'm also very happy ᵔᴥᵔ.

Wen Yisheng, her face mask on, remained expressionless as she rapidly typed the message on the screen and clicked send.

There was no immediate reply.

However, the WeChat chat interface shows that the other party is typing at the top.

A full ten seconds.

Twenty seconds later.

After typing for a long time, only one word was sent: "Hmm."

Wen Yisheng glanced at it, ignored it, put her phone aside, and removed her face mask.

Normally, Wen Yisheng can't occupy the common space in the dormitory. Only when her roommates go home for holidays does she lay a mat on the floor to practice her flexibility.

Her body was incredibly flexible, especially her slender waist.

Her movements are both graceful and powerful, and every gesture is pleasing to the eye.

The phone on the table suddenly beeped again.

It's still just those four dry, unambiguous words:

You are excellent.

Wen Yisheng saw the message twenty minutes later. She remained calm, turned off her phone, didn't reply, and went to bed.

On the other side...

Zhong Xu sat at his desk, his fingers tapping on the keyboard, but his eyes couldn't help but dart toward the cell phone next to his laptop.

The messages I sent seemed to sink without a trace, receiving no response.

...Recently, Sheng Sheng and he have gotten much closer.

She would occasionally confide in him about small things in her studies and life.

A few days ago she mentioned wanting to find a part-time translation job and went for an interview at Yizhong. How could she possibly succeed...?

Yizhong is a multinational corporation with a dedicated translation department staffed by highly skilled professionals.

Coincidentally, Yizhong is a company owned by the Zhong family, and the chairman is also the father he dislikes the most. Zhong Xu couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he had the board assistant solve the interview problem.

Knew it.

She was so happy to have passed the interview, and she shared it with him right away...

Chung Hsu had no idea that Wen Yi-sheng would have any other intentions, such as knowing in advance that Yi Chung was a Chung family business.

After all, she was so clean and innocent, like a blank sheet of paper.

Zhong Xu's protective instincts towards her grew stronger day by day. The trivial things she confided in him could no longer satisfy him. He wanted to be closer to her, much closer...

He simply couldn't concentrate, so he closed his laptop, picked up his phone, and went back to his bedroom.

Brother, I miss you so much. I want to go back to China.

The message from Zhong Yue'er made his face turn cold and hard.

He didn't reply.

Open the chat interface with Wen Yisheng.

But Wen Yisheng didn't reply to him again until 11 p.m.

Are you asleep?

Zhong Xu remained glued to his phone, his handsome brows furrowed slightly.

Wen Yisheng would indeed share her joys with him, but that was all; she didn't reply to his messages very often.

We've never even exchanged good morning or good night greetings. Maybe we just don't have that habit?

Zhong Xu's cold heart was repeatedly stirred, then cooled, then stirred again.

He knew he should take the initiative, but he was by nature a reserved person and not good with words, so he didn't know what to say.

Finally, he slowly typed four words on the screen and sent them:

Goodnight, Sheng Sheng.

-

Meanwhile, in the dormitory, Wen Yisheng had already snuggled up in her small bed and fallen into a good sleep.

She kept Zhong Xu hanging on, hot and cold, waiting for an opportunity.

Didn't this guy love her a lot in her past life? He even tried to take her away from Wen Zhi.

In this life, to fulfill his love, I'll help her send her own sister to life imprisonment.

Two o'clock in the morning.

When a person is sleeping most soundly.

Because it was during the holiday, the dormitory supervisor was not there, and only a few students stayed on campus in the entire apartment building.

Wen Yisheng didn't sleep well. Her hair was spread out on the pillow, as if she had a bad dream. Her delicate eyebrows were also furrowed with a small vertical line, which made her look adorably cute.

She tolerates heat well, so she didn't turn on the air conditioner.

A small fan was installed at the head of the bed, separated by a curtain, blowing directly at her little face.

After a while, apart from the sound of the fan running...

In the quiet, dark dormitory room, a faint sound seemed to suddenly break out.

Like the dull sound of shoe soles rubbing against wooden floors...

Darkness amplifies all sounds.

Whoosh—the curtain hooks slid along the track.

creak.

The bed is made of solid wood with a good feel.

The bunk bed with a desk underneath, while sturdy, was perhaps a bit old, as it emitted a very short, strained sound when bearing weight exceeding the design of a single bed.

Wen Yisheng has a habit of covering her mouth and nose with a blanket when she sleeps, leaving only her bright forehead and eyebrows exposed.

A bony hand reaches out towards the bedside fan in the darkness.

The fan was pointing directly at the head of the person sleeping soundly on the bed. The hand turned the fan down, adjusting the angle of the airflow downwards.

After adjusting to a suitable angle.

That white, glowing claw in the darkness pulled off the blanket covering her face, revealing her fully sleeping face.

This action did not wake the sleeping person.

The man then turned on the small hanging lamp on the wall.

The lamplight cast a warm yellow hue on the bed curtains, illuminating the person's features as well.

He's still not awake.

The man stopped causing trouble, turned to the side, squeezed into the small bed, and lay down next to Wen Yisheng.

He rested his face on one hand, quietly gazing at Wen Yisheng's sleeping face with soft eyes.

She slept so peacefully, with long eyelashes drooping under her eyes, her lips pursed, and her delicate nose gently twitching.

He couldn't resist raising his finger and gently brushing her eyelashes with his fingertip.

That's when Wen Yisheng, still asleep, frowned even more deeply.

She groaned uncomfortably, her nasal tone sounding like she was being coquettish.

woke up.

My eyelashes fluttered open a crack, and I immediately frowned as the light stung my eyes.

"What...?" The lights aren't off. What time is it?

Wen Yisheng was still quite dazed.

I rubbed my eyes.

A soft, gentle voice reached my ears.

"You're awake? Let's talk."

Wen Yisheng's eyes widened, and her expression changed instantly.

I forgot to breathe; my heart was in my throat.

She turned her head and met a pair of light-colored eyes without any warning.

"Ah!" she screamed again in fright.

"You, you..."

Like a cat with its fur standing on end.

His expression was more terrified than if he had seen a ghost.

"Shh." He remained calm, rolled over and pressed down on her, gently pressing his hand against her lips. "If you scream again, I'll kiss you to silence you."
