After a night of ups and downs, Su Li felt incredibly sore all over. This man was truly inhuman; he had tormented her for who knows how long yesterday...

Seeing that the man beside her was still sleeping soundly, Su Li got out of bed.

She was starving and had to go to school today. She cooked some porridge in the morning and left a note for Gu Huanian, telling him not to forget to eat when he got up.

After finishing her meal, Su Li rode her bicycle straight to school.

When Gu Huanian woke up, he found himself lying in the house that Su Li had just bought.

He had a headache and tried hard to recall what had happened yesterday, but he just couldn't remember.

He only remembered drinking a glass of wine for Ye Wanyu, and then thinking about coming back as soon as possible.

But he had no recollection of how he got to Su Li's place.

He got out of bed and saw a red stain on the sheet, which left him momentarily stunned.

Could it be that he did something to Su Li yesterday...?

He couldn't even imagine how Su Li would view him after he had done such a thing.

Did he force her last night? She must have hated herself for it!

Gu Huanian slapped himself across the face, saying, "What a beast."

He folded the sheets on the bed little by little, into a small square, and kicked it into his arms.

Then he walked out of the room and saw a note on the table in the main room: "There is porridge cooking in the kitchen. Don't forget to eat breakfast."

Gu Huanian put the note in his pocket, feeling a warm glow in his heart. His Ah Li was truly wonderful.

I just remembered that glass of wine last night. I don't know what kind of drug was in it, but it made me forget everything that happened yesterday when I woke up this morning.

If it weren't for the messy bed, the marks, and the bright red stain on the sheets, he probably wouldn't have known he had done such a thing yesterday.

It's terrifying to think about. If that person used this wine on someone else, even if he committed a crime, the other person would forget about it completely the next day.

After having breakfast, he went home and locked the bed sheet and the note in a safe.

He then rode his bicycle directly to the military base. He briefly recounted what had happened the day before to his superiors, omitting the part about him and Su Li.

The old leader felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing his words.

If Ye Wanyu also had this medicine, it would be incredibly easy for her to tamper with the research institute, since no one would remember what she did back then anyway.

"Go and find out the name of the man who handed you the wine yesterday. I'll send someone to investigate his background and see what his relationship is with this Ye Wanyu."

Gu Huanian nodded.

Su Li was distracted at school all day, her mind kept replaying Gu Huanian's dreamy yet sexually charged expression from last night.

The image made her feel a rush of blood to her head, and her cheeks turned bright red.

"Su Li, Su Li?"

It wasn't until Bai Zhenzhu nudged her from behind that she snapped out of her daze; "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhenzhu looked at her face and teased with a smile, "Why is your face so red? Are you thinking about your boyfriend?"

Su Li covered her face with her hands, looking a little shy, and said, "No, maybe it's just a bit hot!"

It's already the beginning of autumn, and to be honest, it even feels a bit chilly in the mornings and evenings. Where's the heat?

"Su Li, do you know what kind of girl Lu Huai likes?"

Su Li: "........."

Su Li really couldn't respond to this. She had already discovered Lu Huai's feelings for her back in Lijiatun.

But I can't exactly tell Bai Zhenzhu that he likes me the way I am! That would be too narcissistic.

"I don't know either."

Bai Zhenzhu took a chocolate out of her bag and handed it to Su Li, saying, "I heard that the place you went to before was in the village where Lu Huai lived. Did he have a girlfriend before?"

Su Li didn't take the chocolate, replying directly, "Keep this for yourself. Lu Huai didn't have a girlfriend when he was in the village."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenzhu was incredibly excited: "That's great! I've decided, I'm going to pursue him starting today."

Su Li simply smiled and did not offer any opinion.

Youth is about bravely pursuing love. No matter what, as long as you try, you won't regret it even if you fail later.

After school, Su Li had just stepped out of the school gate when she saw Gu Huanian waiting there.

The woman standing next to him this time was Ye Wanqing.

This man is really a handful. As she approached, she heard Gu Huanian say, "Do you know the name of the man who served your cousin wine at that banquet last time?"

"Then tell me your name first?"

Although she had already found out, she still wanted to hear him say it himself.

"Gu Huanian".

Ye Wanqing's smile widened. He really did like her, otherwise why would he have told her his name?

"I've heard my cousin mention that man before. His name is Mo Yu. He's also a student who just returned from studying in the US. He and my cousin had a relationship before, but they broke up a long time ago. However, he was unwilling to give up, and when he learned that my cousin had returned to China, he followed her back. Yesterday, he did it on purpose, trying to embarrass my cousin."

Ye Wanqing felt very lucky today; she saw Gu Huanian as soon as she left the school gate.

She went up to greet him as usual, but to her surprise, he actually responded this time. It was like the sun had risen in the west.

Is he also interested in her, but he's been ignoring her because Su Li has always been by his side?
