For Gu Qingcheng’s death to seem believable, he had to go into hiding.

  Yun Liuli knew that they wouldn’t be able to see each other for a few years, and they wouldn’t even be able to contact each other. Since Gu Qingcheng was going to “die”, he had to be like a “dead person”.

  “We’ll agree on this. When my hair reaches my waist… you’ll come back!” Yun Liuli choked up as she looked at Gu Qingcheng. “You’ll come back and marry me, and I’ll provide for you!”


  Gu Qingcheng nodded, replying, “Okay! I’ll wait for you to provide for me…”


  Yun Liuli bit her lip, and tears threatened to spill from her eyes once more.

  She buried her head in Gu Qingcheng’s chest again and secretly wiped her tears with his shirt before looking up at him. “I won’t give up until I have you. I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes. If you don’t come back for a day, I’ll wait for a day. If you don’t come back for the rest of my life, I’ll wait for you for the rest of my life! I mean what I say, Gu Qingcheng! So don’t make me spend the rest of my life alone…”


  Gu Qingcheng’s heart ached at her words.

  “Okay, I promise!” Gu Qingcheng replied. He tapped on the phone screen and continued, “Remember to study them well!”


  Yun Liuli’s ears turned red. She didn’t think Gu Qingcheng was like that!

  He told her to study those things well with a straight face!

  But Yun Liuli was still pretty happy to hear that. After all… that showed that Gu Qingcheng really wanted her too!

  Yun Liuli nodded. “Don’t worry. On our first night together, I’ll make sure you have a wonderful time!”


  Wasn’t the guy supposed to say this to the girl?

  Gu Qingcheng reached out to stroke Yun Liuli’s hair. “I believe you!”


  So long as Yun Liuli was there, the night… would definitely be wonderful, and Gu Qingcheng would never forget it!

  “Then, will you have to avoid me after I go back to school tomorrow?” At this moment, Yun Liuli suddenly thought to ask an important question.

  “I’ll have to start making preparations soon…” replied Gu Qingcheng.

  He had to start preparing to create conflict between him and Cen Mo, and he would need time for that to build up before Cen Mo killed him, which he only had one chance to do.

  Gu Qingcheng didn’t want to involve Yun Liuli in those matters.

  “Then, I want to stick to you today!” Yun Liuli looked at Gu Qingcheng pitifully.

  She was really upset. After today, she would have to wait until her hair was long before she could see him again…


  That was worse than taking Yun Liuli’s life.

  Gu Qingcheng agreed to her request and cuddled with her while watching a cartoon together on the couch, even though he hadn’t eaten his lunch yet. The young lady trying not to wipe away her tears with her sleeve was a pitiful sight.

  “After you leave… can I still come to the Cloud Top Condominium?” asked Yun Liuli.

  The apartment smelled like Gu Qingcheng, so when Yun Liuli missed him, she could sleep on his large bed… She thought that would perhaps make her feel better.

  “Isn’t this place already yours?” Gu Qingcheng gently stroked the young lady’s hair as she laid in his arms. “If you want, you can move out of the dormitory and stay here instead. It’s safe here.”


  Yun Liuli held back her tears and crawled back into Gu Qingcheng’s arms…


  They were watching “Crayon Shinchan” on TV. Yun Liuli would always burst out into laughter every time she watched the show, but now, it didn’t seem so funny anymore. In her sadness, she suddenly found that Crayon Shinchan was a pervert.

  The innocent Crayon Shinchan was criticized for no reason.

  …


  Lu Jinnan was injured, and Bai Xiaonian had planned to send him home on her way back. However, he insisted on going to her house instead, as there was no one around to take care of him at home. He further justified himself by saying that his father was now staying over at Bai Xiaonian’s house.

  The tense expression on Bai Xiaonian’s face only relaxed after hearing Lu Jinnan crack such jokes…


  Bai Xiaonian said, “You’re injured because of me and Xiao Nuan. I’ll bring you back to my house and take care of you until your injuries heal… but leave my house after that so that we can part on good terms!”


  In her heart, Bai Xiaonian continued, telling him not to get injured because of her again.

  Lu Jinnan knew that Bai Xiaonian always had an unforgiving tongue. It was already a good thing that she relented and said he could stay at her house to recuperate, and that he didn’t have to shamelessly pester her any further.

  As such, Lu Jinnan nodded. “Okay, I’ll recuperate first!”


  His answer was vague, but Bai Xiaonian didn’t ask further and instead continued to drive silently.

  When they reached Bai Xiaonian’s house, Lu Jinnan became the center of attention!

  Bai Xiaonian’s father’s heart ached at the sight of Lu Jinnan. He glared at Bai Xiaonian and asked her if she had fought with Lu Jinnan…


  Lu Jinnan’s father, who was unaware of what really happened, advised Bai Xiaonian’s father, saying, “Forget it, Old Bai! As elders, we shouldn’t meddle in the couple’s affairs!”


  Lu Jinnan then explained to them what had happened, causing Bai Xiaonian’s father’s heart to ache even more. “You suffered these injuries to save Xiao Bai and Xiao Nuan…”


  Then, Bai Xiaonian’s father ordered Bai Xiaonian to let Lu Jinnan sleep in her room instead of on the couch.

  Bai Xiaonian refused!

  Very well. Bai Xiaonian’s father would let Lu Jinnan sleep in his room, and he would sleep in the living room…


  Bai Xiaonian was rendered speechless.

  Lu Jinnan openly hogged Bai Xiaonian’s bed, and Bai Xiaonian became his personal maid after her father pressured her to do so. One moment, she would pour water for him, and the next moment, she would bring him fruits!

  Lu Jinnan had become the Bai family’s little baby, while Bai Xiaonian was now like the wild grass on the side of the road.

  Bai Xiaonian’s attitude could sometimes be bad when her temper flared up. Lu Jinnan would shamelessly whimper in pain, and Bai Xiaonian would then be lectured by her father.

  After Bai Xiaonian had a few strokes of luck, she told herself… that her father was a sick person and that she couldn’t make him angry!

  So, Bai Xiaonian looked at Lu Jinnan with resentment, as if he had snatched her father away!

  Lu Jinnan facepalmed as he watched Bai Xiaonian’s father defend him. He wasn’t acting as planned…


  He and Bai Xiaonian’s father had already agreed on him standing on Bai Xiaonian’s side no matter what. Why was he standing on his side now that he was injured? He was clearly attracting hatred for him!

  Lu Jinnan thought he had better find an opportunity to talk to Bai Xiaonian’s father. Otherwise… he would be doing him more harm than good.

  That night, Bai Xiaonian’s father made dinner, and Lu Jinnan’s father was in charge of serving the rice and side dishes. Since Lu Jinnan was injured, Bai Xiaonian’s father shouted from the kitchen, “Bai Xiaonian, Lu Jinnan’s injured. Do you expect him to clean the table? Come over here and help!”


  The door to Bai Xiaonian’s room was kept open at the request of her father. He said this was in case Lu Jinnan wanted to drink water or something, and they couldn’t hear him while preparing dinner… and no one would respond to him.

  She was sitting in front of her study table and was organizing program materials. When she heard what her father said, she frowned and slammed the door. Her blood was suddenly boiling to the point where she couldn’t calm down.
