It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

"I've been thinking about something lately, Xiaoyu. Am I being too good to you? I feel like I'm spoiling you a bit."

"What makes you think you can disobey my orders?"

Su Yu raised his head and looked into An Ruxue's eyes. Although her eyes were still full of love, they were now filled with frost.

"Xiaoyu, you know what I'm capable of, don't you? I don't want our relationship to change, which is why I haven't used those methods on you."

"Do you feel like you have someone backing you up? Xiaoyu, who is it? Lin Qingmeng? Bai Xiaoxiao? Or my silly little sister, An Ningying?"

"Who gave you that confidence?"

“In China, their power is about the same as mine, but all my power belongs to me. I can risk my life against them at will, but can they?”

"Okay, okay, even if they could, I have a way out. Do they? I really want to take you abroad. Who can stop me?"

Her hand climbed up Su Yu's cheek, and only then did Su Yu remember something.

An Ruxue's methods...

An Ruxue started by taking advantage of the An family and eventually rose to her current position. She never hid her work from Su Yu and always let him see it.

Therefore, Su Yu was also very aware of An Ruxue's level of expertise.

Able to rival the height of Anjia…

This kind of person has been abroad for so many years, is it just for ordinary studying?

Su Yu didn't believe it.

"Do you think I'm not brainwashing you now because I can't do it?"

An Ruxue's voice was soft and low, and Su Yu fell silent.

"I just don't want our relationship to be flawed; I just want you to truly fall in love with me."

"But, but you've really been getting more and more disobedient lately, Xiaoyu."

"But I really, really love you. Your name is etched into my very bones. What should I do?"

"Since your master treats you well, I'll give you a choice."

"Either come up with me now, or..."

"Come with me abroad, and see if I can really brainwash you..."

Choose.

139 is doing well now.

What to choose?

Actually, this is no longer a problem. At this point, unless Su Yu has lost his mind, he will choose to accompany An Ruxue.

Su Yu never doubted An Ruxue's methods.

He had seen too many people trying to reason with him when he was young, but none of them succeeded, because Su Yu's will was actually quite strong.

But An Ruxue…

It's clear from some of Su Yu's genuine actions that his fear of An Ruxue is truly ingrained in his heart.

An Ruxue is a good person now, even though she's bad; she really dotes on Su Yu.

Give her whatever she wants, including freedom. As long as she can feel that you care about her, you can do anything except cheat on her.

But An Ruxue wasn't like this a long time ago...

Thinking of this, Su Yu silently walked upstairs. When An Ruxue saw Su Yu's actions, the coldness on her face faded, and a smile appeared on her lips.

Li Qingqing's grave is at the very top; you have to walk a bit to see it.

Su Yu looked up at the grave, feeling a strange emptiness in his heart, not the usual emotionless emptiness, but something else entirely…

It seems like I'm overflowing with so many emotions that I can no longer perceive them.

An Ruxue wasn't lying to herself.

This is indeed the best.

She had lived in cramped houses her whole life, never having much space. Su Yu knew that she really wanted to decorate her room like other girls.

But she didn't.

Because the bed was only big enough for one person to lie on; there wasn't even room for a plush toy to hug.

She slept in the bedroom, while Su Yu slept in the living room.

A one-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom apartment is the best they can afford.

But it's still so small it's almost suffocating.

She always told herself that it would be okay, things would get better, and that they would live in a big house and buy a bed big enough for both of them.

Every time she said this, a blush would spread across her flawless face.

A mix of excitement and shyness.

But Su Yu knew that without him, she would have been able to live in a big house long ago, and she would have been able to buy a bed that could fit two people.

It's all because of myself.

Later, she did lie in a large bed, but it was a hospital bed. Now, she has a large space, but it's a cemetery.

If it weren't for myself...

Li Qingqing's grave is very nice. The top part of the grave has such a large space, which is only for Li Qingqing's "home". It is very big and much better than before.

She finally finished decorating it, with not-too-bright night lights on both sides. The monument was beautiful, much more upscale than the ones below, and surrounded by beautiful green plants.

Although there was too much greenery, which might disturb her with the cicadas' chirping, and although the lights were dim, only illuminating her and the path down the mountain, but…

very good already.

There was a bouquet of flowers in front of the grave. It looked very high-end and expensive. Su Yu turned to look at An Ruxue, who nodded.

"Yes, I had these flowers delivered by someone. Doesn't she really like flowers? I send someone to clean this place every day and bring her a bouquet of flowers as well."

“Hmm… that also includes the time I was in school.” After thinking for a moment, An Ruxue added, and then the two of them walked to the grave.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

This is what An Ruxue said to Li Qingqing.

Su Yu glanced at the flowers in front of her, remaining silent. She did indeed like flowers; like other girls her age, she loved flowers and romance.

Flowers and romance are just too expensive, which is why she kept pretending she didn't like them.

It's just because it's too expensive.

Su Yu didn't speak. A few minutes later, An Ruxue spoke up: "It's been so long since I've seen her. Aren't you going to talk to her?"

A sour feeling, a sour taste in her throat, a tightness in her chest—Su Yu had thought that if this ever happened, she would be quite at ease, since her emotional perception was limited anyway, but…

What is this feeling...?

You can't do that, you can't have such strong emotions...

After the breakdown comes relief.

The words I wanted to say stuck in my throat, and in the end, I couldn't say anything; I swallowed them all down.

Is it because you don't know what to say to Li Qingqing?

No, no, it's because...

Su Yu turned to look at An Ruxue. She had suppressed her smile and was staring intently at Su Yu. After meeting Su Yu's gaze, she showed no embarrassment and smiled frankly.

Looking away after making eye contact is something only little girls would do; when it comes to making eye contact with An Ruxue, only Su Yu would look away.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yu finally spoke up: "Could you wait for me downstairs?"

There are some things that An Ruxue finds difficult to say here.

An Ruxue thought about it seriously for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sure, but how will you repay me?"

...

Su Yu turned his head to look at Li Qingqing's grave, then at An Ruxue's smiling face. He clenched his fist and forced out the words from his throat:

"Can we talk about this back home? I don't want to discuss this here..."

An Ruxue smiled happily. She reached up and tucked her hair behind her ear, leaned down, stroked her face, and turned her head towards her. She spoke softly.

"But I don't want to wait. What should I do? I'm so conflicted. We are..."

Haven't you tried being outdoors yet? Otherwise…”

Su Yu interrupted An Ruxue, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but his tone became more assertive: "Let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"

An Ruxue seemed to have no complaints whatsoever. Even though Su Yu went against her wishes, she showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever. In the end, she kissed Su Yu and turned to leave.

An Ruxue walked back down the path she had come from, reached the car, leaned against it, and lit a cigarette.

Amidst the billowing smoke, An Ruxue saw the future of the two of them.

Why doesn't Su Yu accept An Ruxue?

This is actually a problem.

An Ruxue fulfills every boy's fantasy of a future partner; her looks are beyond just pretty, they're perfect, so perfect they seem like the daughter of the Creator.

Yes, the other three girls can do that too.

Having money means you can buy whatever you want, a trait shared by the other three.

But there is one exception.

Why doesn't Su Yu stay with the other three girls?

Because he feared the power behind them, he knew that if he married them, he would never have peace of mind, he would be constantly criticized, and he would never live a peaceful life.

Because of their families, Su Yu will not marry them.

But An Ruxue didn't have this problem.
