Chapter 16 tells the story

One day, when Yu Weiyou returned home and opened the door, she happened to see the beautiful woman embracing Lu Jiucheng. She looked up, stared directly at Yu Weiyou, and smiled gently.

Yu Weiyou closed the door, and only then did Lu Jiucheng break free from the woman and turn around. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Weiyou spoke first, "You can continue."

She then went back to her room without looking to the side.

It's impossible for her to remain completely unmoved, but she should have known that sooner.

"That still has nothing to do with me, right?" Yu Weiyou muttered to himself. He really had no connection with Lu Jiucheng. If he had to say, it was just a fling. After all, she seemed to have never known much about Lu Jiucheng, and Lu Jiucheng only knew about her from files and her sleep talking. She herself hadn't mentioned much else, and the things she had confided were just empty, superficial observations. So, he couldn't really say he knew anything about her past.

"Who cares?" She turned and crawled under the covers. He probably thinks the same thing.

For some reason, Yu Weiyou began to frequently encounter that beautiful woman.

She even struck up a conversation with Yu Weiyou: "Little girl, aren't you ashamed to live in other people's houses every day?"

Yu Weiyou didn't even raise his head: "What's it to you?"

She said smugly, "I've been on a blind date with Jiucheng for a long time, so you probably won't be staying here for long."

Yu Weiyou said expressionlessly, "Really? Then I'll wait for your good news. I'm going to rest now."

Seeing that Yu Weiyou was completely unconcerned, she became even more furious and said, "You, how can you be so shameless! Don't go! Come out here!"

Upon hearing the noise, Lu Jiucheng asked, "What's all the commotion?"

She: "Hisaki, it's her!"

Lu Jiucheng: "I'll take you back."

She feigned a coquettish reproach: "Jiucheng!"

Their voices gradually faded into the distance.

There's really no escaping this world. Maybe I should apply for a dorm room at school sooner rather than later. Anyway, I'll have to leave sooner or later and adapt to this world. With that thought, Yu Weiyou went out of her room and poured herself a glass of water.

I don't know when I started to become a little fond of the taste of alcohol. When there's no rooftop to go to, I inexplicably crave a drink.

"Wei You? Why are you sleeping here... Have you been drinking again?" As soon as Lu Jiucheng returned home, he saw Yu Wei You slumped on the sofa.

Yu Weiyou drawled, "What's it to you?"

"Hey, this is my wine, how can it be unrelated?" Lu Jiucheng felt both annoyed and amused at the same time.

Yu Weiyou: "...I don't care."

"Is it because of her?"

"I'm not that petty," Yu Weiyou said with a hint of sarcasm. "You can do as you please. I'll leave on my own from now on."

Lu Jiucheng raised an eyebrow: "You're moving out?"

Yu Weiyou rolled her eyes: "So what do you want? Do you want me to watch you do it?"

"Tsk." He grabbed Yu Weiyou's shoulders and forcefully helped her sit up. "Yu Weiyou, wake up! I only like you."

“But I don’t like you,” Yu Weiyou said lazily.

Lu Jiucheng let out a long breath and said, "Yu Weiyou."

"what."

"Would you believe me if I said she was sent by my family to spy on me?"

Yu Weiyou brushed aside Lu Jiucheng's hand that was supporting her and slumped down again: "Oh, I don't care."

"Actually, I can be considered to have escaped."

She waved her hand impatiently: "You don't need to say anything."

"I'm going to say it!" Lu Jiucheng helped Yu Weiyou up again.

Yu Weiyou rolled her eyes silently.

“My family was very strict with me when I was little. I was forced to learn this and that every day and had to pay attention to etiquette and morality. Once, another child said I was pretentious, so I got into a fight with him. As a result, my family punished me by making me stay home and study for a whole month.”

"That child was right, it was all pretentious. My family wasn't rich or powerful, so I don't know why we acted so particular. The adults said that being poor doesn't mean you have to be barbaric. They weren't wrong. It's just that my childhood was too repressive. I had no fun, no hobbies, and was always locked up in the house. When I was bored, irritable, or angry, I could only vent my frustrations on the only two people I had: the maid and the servant. I would think of many ways to tease them, and sometimes I would put a hood over their heads and tie them up to prevent them from running to tell on me when I went out to play... Perhaps that's where my strange hobbies come from."

"It's a cliché story, isn't it? But that's the truth. I can't resist. My family has already arranged my future, even my friends are arranged by them. They'll make me associate with some rich and beautiful young men and women. Dealing with those people is really tough. They don't say it to my face, but they look down on me. And even if I don't like associating with them and want to resist, I'm still required to complete the tasks assigned by my family. My family always says that this is all for my own good, that it can help the family, and that it will be very beneficial in the future."

"Until later, I fell in love with photography. Although my family could afford a camera, no one in my family supported my hobby. They said photography was useless and had no future. In short, they insisted on sending me to business school. I agreed on the surface, but secretly I started learning photography on my own and often went out to take pictures and have fun. Later, they found out what I was doing and wanted to bring me back to study hard. I ran away that very night."

"After that, I went far away on my own to make a living by filming, and I also reapplied to my desired school. Later, I also worked part-time as a teacher at the facility, and gradually I stayed there. Although it wasn't a very good school, the pay was pretty good, perhaps because of the substantial subsidies. And that's how I met you."

"The moment I saw your eyes, I knew I had to get close to you no matter what. The thought of your seemingly fragile yet incredibly resilient nature was just so intriguing. That was the first time I realized I had this kind of fetish..."

Yu Weiyou raised an eyebrow expressionlessly: "So you've even prepared the tools, just waiting for the day I take your bait?"

"To put it simply, that's true."

Yu Weiyou rolled her eyes again.

Lu Jiucheng continued, "Later I met her, and she was indeed very ladylike. Unfortunately, I had seen too many people like her since I was a child, and I was already indifferent to their hypocrisy. I only vaguely sensed that her background seemed unusual, and after getting to know her a few times, I found out that she was indeed sent by my family to test me."

Yu Weiyou became impatient again: "Who knows if what you said is true or false. Even if it is true, it's none of my business. I'll just treat it as a story."

"But could you please not move out?"

Yu Weiyou snorted coldly: "I didn't really want to move in the first place. It's free to stay here. Do you think I'm stupid for not taking advantage of this?"

"Oh? As expected of Wei You, you would never easily give in on ordinary matters." Lu Jiucheng said with a laugh.

"Say what you will." Yu Weiyou slumped back down.

"After saying all that, I actually have a question about you." Lu Jiucheng slumped down, mimicking her posture.

Yu Weiyou stated bluntly: "I refuse to answer."

"Rejection is invalid. I just want to know if you don't like me, or if you don't like men, or something else?"

"???"

Lu Jiucheng continued his analysis: "Look, you rejected Shuciyin too, right? But you've been thinking about Lirong for so many years, and now you even have a female follower, what's her name, Xuefu, right?"

"Knowing too much can lead to your death," Yu Weiyou replied coldly.

"I told you long ago that you could kill me, but at least let me die knowing why!"

"..." Unable to withstand Lu Jiucheng's fierce attack, Yu Weiyou could only coldly reply, "I haven't thought about that kind of question. If I had to ask, I don't like anyone."

"That's not right. If you were frigid, you wouldn't have slept with me twice, would you?" Lu Jiucheng blinked and said seriously.

"………………"

"I didn't say anything wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You might as well just die!"
