Regarding Xie Yuan and Jiang Yu, there are some groundless speculations in the school—
"Xie Yuan is notoriously bad-tempered, and no one will give face to him. How can he be so nice to Jiang Yu?"
"Jiang Yu is also strange. He has never argued with Tao Anxin about these things before, so why is he suddenly so active."
"Why else? She broke up with Huo Cheng, maybe waiting to find another home. With such a woman, who can't be next to her."
"I'm going, don't you mean that she told Xie Yuan... God, Xie Yuan is in his forties and can be her father!"
"Does the sugar daddy still look at the age? It's okay if you have money."
…
The boy who was talking only tried to speak quickly, but he didn't think so. Qiu Li, who passed by, grabbed his neck with his backhand.
This sudden change scared the surrounding classmates back again and again.
Qiu Li grabbed the boy's neck with one hand, lifted him up, and lifted his feet off the ground.
The boy tightly held his hand and pinched his own, struggling vigorously, showing an extremely frightened expression.
Because from Qiu Li's dark eyes, he saw the abyss of death, like a shadow.
It seemed like the next second, he could snap his neck.
A lot of students gathered around, watching this scene, whispering—
"What's up?"
"I don't know, it suddenly started fighting."
"For any reason, Qiu Li is a lunatic! He is mentally ill!"
Jiang Yu, who had just walked out of the school gate, was frightened by the scene in front of him.
Huo Cheng in the previous life died in Qiu Li's hands.
At that time, he smiled at everyone, seemingly good and harmless, but he was a complete devil.
"Qiu Li, let go!" Jiang Yu hurried over to stop him, "Let him go!"
Qiu Li shook off the male voice with one hand and threw him on the ground, falling badly.
"Fuck you!"
The boy let out a foul language and wanted to step forward, but when he saw Qiu Li's black eyes with no human emotion, he was still frightened.
He scolded and called "madman" a few times and left unwillingly.
As if nothing had happened, Qiu Li turned and left with a blank expression.
Jiang Yu trotted to catch up with him and asked, "Why did you fight with him?"
"Because I'm crazy."
His voice was infinitely cold.
"What's your temper?" Jiang Yu muttered in a low voice: "If you don't control yourself, you will be expelled from Yuxi Middle School sooner or later. Don't you still want to be admitted to a key university?"
"I was fired, what does it have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Yu said reluctantly, "Am I not your girlfriend?"
The words "girlfriend" suddenly touched the softest part of Qiu Li's heart.
Yes, she is his girlfriend.
She should be protected.
Qiu Li stopped and tried to talk to her calmly: "What did you and Xie Yuan say on the playground in the morning?"
"Ah, this... just something in the science and technology museum."
"A lie." Qiu Li mercilessly debunked Jiang Yu's excuse: "What kind of technology, he will be so excited to grab your hand."
Jiang Yu was slightly dissatisfied with the tone of his questioning: "You care so much, it's my business."
She couldn't explain it to Xie Yuan, and naturally she couldn't explain it to Qiu Li.
Qiu Li's face was ugly.
He didn't know why he was so angry, but when she was in contact with other men, he was just upset and was about to explode/explode.
The boy's words just now deeply stimulated his nerves.
Jiang Yu is the only color of splash ink in his black and white world, bright and beautiful.
He wants to monopolize this beauty, and no one can take it away, and he will not allow anyone to slander his beauty.
…
Seeing that Qiu Li was no longer arguing with her, Jiang Yu just kept his face sullen and did not speak.
She didn't know what kind of madness he was getting at, but this guy's personality was like this, and it was a common thing to be unhappy for no reason.
All in all, this commission was completed very smoothly, successfully earning 120,000 yuan, and more importantly, Esmera's tuition has been settled.
She was quite happy anyway.
"Qiu Li, we won't quarrel, I'll invite you to dinner tonight." Jiang Yu took the initiative to make peace: "You can eat whatever you want."
"I want to eat dumplings." Qiu Li closed his clenched fists under his sleeves, then loosened them: "Go to my house and cook me dumplings."
"You are so troublesome."
"I don't want to eat out all the time."
"All right."
Jiang Yu didn't think much, went to the convenience store with him, and picked out a bag of his favorite beef and corn dumplings.
After checking out, and walking out of the convenience store, Qiu Li opened the candy wrapper and put the lollipop into his mouth.
Jiang Yu looked at how cute he was eating a lollipop and couldn't help laughing: "It's cute when you eat candy."
"As long as you like it."
Qiu Li tasted the tasteless lollipop on the tip of his tongue, like a glass bead in his mouth, without feeling anything.
At first Qiu Li felt that the satisfaction of the simple taste of food might be enough. But now he finds that not enough, far from enough, what he wants... more.
Without her, the world would have no meaning to him.
He wants to perceive the world, to perceive love and joy, to be responded to, to be valued, even sad, even jealous...
Qiu Li handed the eaten lollipop to Jiang Yu's mouth: "Eat."
"I'm not like you." Jiang Yu pouted in disgust: "Who wants to eat what you have eaten."
"Disgusting me for being unclean?"
Jiang Yu didn't dislike him, but she knew that her relationship with him was not that far.
She is helping him, saving him... Of course, she is also saving herself.
If it's just a partnership, will she eat the lollipop that Party A has eaten.
True, not.
Seeing that she was obviously unwilling, Qiu Li didn't force her. He took a colorless and tasteless lollipop and walked away silently.
She didn't like him at all, not from the beginning.
Qiu Li saw this very clearly.
Originally, Qiu Li didn't care that much.
But gradually, he found that he began to have desires, began to sleepless nights, and began to want more.
And "she doesn't like him" is like a serpent's letter, it seems to be slowly killing his heart.

...
Back at home, Jiang Yu brought the quick-frozen dumplings to the kitchen, ready to cook.
The kitchen of Qiu Li's house is very clean, there are no oil stains even in the dead area, and the pots and bowls are all new.
It seems that there is never a fire for cooking at home, and there is no seasoning.
Jiang Yu searched for a long time before finding a package of unopened iodized salt from the cupboard.
Okay, anyway, you don't need too many seasonings to cook dumplings, you can just make do with it.
She boiled the water and neatly put the frozen dumplings out of the pot.
While waiting for the dumplings to boil, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the deposits in her account that were getting closer and closer to the target tuition fee, bursting with joy.
Cherish the opportunity to start over, learn dance well, and live her life well.
Jiang Yu pondered about his own affairs, but did not notice at all, the young man behind him walked into the kitchen and closed the door.
"Oh, there are so many savings."
The deep voice sounded after itself, and Jiang Yu was shocked and quickly locked the phone screen.
She was so fascinated by her savings that she didn't notice when Qiu Li came here.
"It's all my hard work." Jiang Yu picked up the shovel and stirred the dumplings in the stirring pot: "It's my tuition for the Esmera Art Center."
"How do you make money, do you rely on meddling?"
Jiang Yu didn't want to explain more, so he simply followed his words and said lazily: "Yes, it's just meddling."
"That sister is amazing."
Qiu Li stood behind her and leaned her against the cupboard. Jiang Yu could even feel his hot breath patted on the skin of her neck.
The distance... seems too close.
Jiang Yu tried to move sideways.
However, Qiu Li lowered his hand and grabbed her slender wrist.
His palm was very hot, and there were rough calluses on the belly of his palm. He clasped her wrist with a slight force, and she couldn't break free.
"elder sister... "
He sniffed her temples lightly, with a low-pitched temptation in his voice: "I seem to like you a little bit."
Jiang Yu looked at him in shock, and he asked again, "Can you... like me."
Jiang Yu's voice trembled slightly: "I like it."
"Lie." Qiu Li squeezed her chin with the other hand, forcing her to look at him: "You come close to me, don't have a purpose."
"Qiu Li, don't do this, I'm a little scared."
Jiang Yu looked at his dark and bottomless eyes, really frightened, and said in a trembling voice, "What do you want?"
Qiu Li didn't know either, he just frantically wanted to feel something and grab something.
In the past, he would use self-mutilation to perceive the world.
He continued to provoke and find fault, and was beaten violently. Although he didn't feel any pain, the red blood reminded him that he still had life.
Jiang Yu is the only person who can bring him the truth.
He cannot lose.
Qiu Li pinched the girl's chin and asked desperately, "Can you like me?"
"..."
Until this time, Jiang Yu gradually realized that he was really playing with fire.
Her initial purpose was to make Qiu Li like her and listen to her own words.
That way, she can guide him more easily and keep him from going astray.
But until today, she discovered that a person's liking is not so easy to endure.
Because you like it, you can't help but miss, long for, and even possess...
She suddenly thought of the advice that [Chou Li] gave her in the future—
"If you don't make up your mind, don't make such a joke on him."
Now, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
The demon was already tempted, and he stretched out a hand to her from the abyss.
Should Jiang Yu catch him...
Do you want to save him...
The answer is yes, she has already realized it.
Jiang Yu raised his head and looked at the handsome face of the young man who was close at hand: "I'm just... a little scared."
"Then now, is my sister ready?"
Qiu Li tried to get closer to her.
Jiang Yu didn't avoid her, letting his cold lips gently brush past the corner of her mouth.
It seemed that he didn't feel anything, and Qiu Li felt unfulfilled.
This time, he greedily touched her soft lips.
