Qin You’s sudden outburst in the afternoon left Su Junxin feeling a little uneasy.

She had also encountered a similar situation during the apocalypse. Some people would clearly be fine a second ago but would suddenly turn into something akin to a beast that has lost all its rationale.

‘Face turning pale, bloodshot eyes, complete loss of all decision-making capabilities, desperately venting their anger… It’s almost the same as how Qin You had gone mad on me just now.’

Suddenly a pair of pitch-black eyes looked in her direction.

Su Junxin was surprised for a moment and swiftly averted her gaze as she shoved the piece of rubber band that had been pinched into two sections into her palm.

Qin You blinked his eyes.

“Was it my imagination? Why do I keep feeling that you’ve been secretly watching me for the entire afternoon?”

Riddled with her guilty conscience, Su Junxin gently coughed. “I haven’t; I was just looking at the bird that was out the window.”

“Is that so? I thought that you were looking at me… ” Qin You pouted his lips and revealed a disappointed expression. However, he quickly regained his smile. “My cat loves to lay by the balcony to look at birds too.”

By that time, Su Junxin had regained her composure, so she deliberately nodded her head casually.

“So, do you love cats?” Qin You asked.

Su Junxin looked at him and hesitated for a few seconds. “I’m… not sure; I haven’t had one before.”

The only pet she had ever raised was Rightie.

When he heard that, he immediately revealed an even bigger smile. “Then, can I invite you to my house to play? I would really like to introduce you to my cat.”

‘He actually wants to introduce me to a cat?’

Su Junxin thought that she might have misheard him, so she stopped writing and looked at him with a strange expression.

Qin You seemed to have noticed this as well. He was startled for a moment before he blinked his eyes and revealed an apologetic expression.

He was like a puppy that had just realized the mistake he made.

He drew back his body, which was close to her, with his eyes lowered and his fingers tightly crossed.

“Sorry, I actually didn’t tell you the truth all this time.” He lowered his voice and said, “I’ve been suffering from social dysfunction since I was young, so I would sometimes find it hard to understand some of the social hints that people would give me. Also, I’m not good at handling my own emotions… I’ve never had a good friend like you in the past, so I may have been too excited just now. Have I… offended you?”

When he spoke, his dense eyebrows trembled continuously under the sunlight, which seemed like a butterfly struggling to flap its wings from within its cocoon.

Su Junxin took in a breath.

‘I never expected that Qin You would have this kind of past, but this does also explain his strange actions earlier.

‘The reason why Qin You would have such enmity towards Li Weize could be because of his psychological illness…’

At the thought of that, she could not help but feel a little pity towards Qin You.

Su Junxin then raised her hand and gently placed it on his.

“No, you haven’t.” She then firmly repeated, “Qin You, you haven’t offended me.”

Qin You raised his eyes to look at her; there were even some shiny crystalized liquids beneath his eyes.

“Then, you don’t find me weird?”

“Even the moon has its own side that it doesn’t wish to show others, let alone humans. Every human has their own uniqueness! It’s these unique traits that allow us to be ourselves.”

Qin You then looked at her in a daze. “Then, do you have a “weird” trait as well?”

Su Junxin pondered for a moment when it suddenly hit her.

“Of course I do; I’ll show it to you during next week’s Biology class.”

Only after she said that did Qin You reveal a smile on his face.

“Alright then, it’s a promise!”

…

It was not known what Qin You had said to Li Weize, but they did come to an agreement in the end. In the future, Qin You would bring Su Junxin lunch, while Li Weize would be responsible for bringing them dinner since Qin You would sometimes be absent from the self-study sessions at night.

Su Junxin was unwilling to owe others any favors, so she gave Li Weize some money for the food and also shoved some red banknotes into Qin You’s pocket.

As a result, within less than half an hour, the money was returned into her hands. In fact, there was even an additional stack within it.

“Are you trying to hire me to be your English teacher?” Su Junxin looked at him with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Qin You nodded his head with a serious expression. “Yes. Don’t worry. I learn fast, so I won’t be taking up too much of your time.”

Su Junxin was dumbfounded. “But, your results are clearly better than mine.”

Qin You then pushed the money back to him.

“You’ve misunderstood; I just want you to teach me the English accent. After all, I can’t find another person in the entire high school who’s able to speak as accurately as you.”

“But, everyone’s speaking with an American accent, so why would you insist on learning the English accent?” Su Junxin asked.

“Because we would have more things in common!” Qin You revealed an innocent smile on his face. 

Su Junxin stared at him for a moment and was unable to come up with an excuse to retaliate. Hence, she could only helplessly agree.

After their self-study session that night, they discussed the details of their “tuition” timetable as they walked. Finally, they decided for it to be done every day before their afternoon break.

After watching him get on his transport, Su Junxin headed towards her own house.

However, very soon, she noticed that there was something amiss… Someone was stalking her, but it wasn’t just one person.

When she passed by a corner, she quickly turned back to take a glance.

Behind her were four men in the same uniform as hers.

Very quickly, she was able to guess what their intentions were.

…

Three kilometers is not actually a long distance, but it was not a short one either. Coincidentally, there was a small garden nearby Su Junxin’s villa.

There would not be anyone in the small garden at night, and it would be eerily silent, exactly like a scene from a horror movie.

Su Junxin would be surrounded by the four men in that very area.

Amongst the four unfamiliar faces, Su Junxin was the most familiar with their leader. He seemed 80% similar to the man she had kicked a few days ago – Youbiao.

Very soon, she was able to recall that one of them was Shi Yan High School’s bully, Youfeng, from the third year. A man who even had the courage to beat up the school’s dean.

Youfeng had a cigarette between his lips as he sized up Su Junxin. His voice was filled with disdain.

“Are you Su Junxin?”

Su Junxin expressionlessly looked at him. “Yes, that’s me.”

“I heard that you’re pretty skilled at beating people up, aren’t you?”

He then took a step towards her and may have intentionally revealed the tense and toned muscle on his arm.

The moment he took a step closer, his intense cologne rushed against Su Junxin, making it impossible for Su Junxin not to frown. She then asked, “Is something the matter?”

“You punched Youbiao, my little brother, the other day; do you remember that?” The other three people behind Youfeng glanced at her. “We originally wanted to see how great you actually were, but now…”

He turned his gaze away and revealed an inexplicable smile towards her.

“You seem to have a pretty nice face, so I’ll forget about you beating him up. As long as you accompany me into that little forest over there, I’ll wipe away everything into history. How about it?”

Su Junxin turned her gaze to look towards the direction where he hinted at.

It was the darkest corner of the garden where there were even two malfunctioned street lamps, coincidentally. 

‘Hmm, that really is an ideal place for me to make my move.’

“You’ll let me go so long as I accompany you there?” Su Junxin asked calmly.

Youfeng’s eyes glistened, obviously not expecting her to be so “cooperative.” Hence, he very readily said, “Also, from tomorrow onwards, you’ll be my woman. Within every high school in South City, no one will even have the guts to lay a finger on you!”

Su Junxin lowered her eyes to ponder for a moment before her lips curled and revealed a faint smile.

“Sure.”

Right after she said that, she turned around and walked towards the little forest.

Youfeng was extremely elated at that moment as he spat the cigarette in his mouth onto the ground and happily followed her footsteps.

Meanwhile, the other three behind them merely looked at each other.

One of them could not help but be worried. “Do you think that woman is playing some kind of trick? She agreed to it so readily.”

Another man raised his hand and smacked the first man at the back of his head. “Are you a f*cking idiot? When has Master Feng ever done something that he isn’t confident of? There’s no need for your needless worry!”

The last man followed suit and added, “Master Feng is a national blackbelt champion; how could he possibly be worried about being unable to handle a little girl?”

“You’re right, you’re right. With Master Feng’s stature, he would even be able to suffocate her to death by slamming himself onto her. I’m sure he’ll be able to take care of her properly!”

However, while the three of them were having an early celebration for Youfeng, a few muffled noises could be heard from within the dark little forest. 

Su Junxin heaved a long breath and slowly tidied up the collar of her uniform before she raised her hand to comb back her slightly messy hair behind her ear.

Then, she turned around and smiled as she looked at Youfeng.

Youfeng was lying on the ground, his body presented in a distorted state… Both his legs had been bent all the way to the back of his head, interlocked with his raised wrists with a shoelace tied in between.

The shoelace was strained into a straight line. If he were to try and move, the shoelace would pull onto his throat even tighter.

Youfeng’s face had turned completely purple, and his eyeballs were slightly bulging outwards.

He was unable to speak; all he could do was look at her to beg for mercy.

Su Junxin knelt in front of him and raised two fingers in the air as she spoke softly.

“I’m giving you two choices… you’d better think properly before you answer.”
