Chapter 7

The live stream data and account have already been cleared.

Lianyun didn't know how to say it.

I was forced to do it at the time, but it was truly my own choice.

No one forced them.

"It has nothing to do with Lianyun."

Ye Lingchen spoke at this moment.

"I forced him."

Lian Yun heard a buzzing sound in his ears.

Ye Lingchen, he—

Before Lian Yun could react, a sandalwood cane suddenly slammed heavily onto Ye Lingchen's back.

The sound was extremely loud. Ye Lingchen staggered, his face turning from red to white, and it took him a long time to slowly straighten his back again.

"Fine, fine, fine." The father's face was flushed, and his whole body was trembling. "Who are you, brat, to treat someone else's child like this!"

"Since your parents aren't here, I'll teach you a lesson on their behalf!"

Ye Lingchen kept his eyes down.

"It was my fault." He bowed slightly. "I apologize to you."

What's the use of an apology?

His father struck him several times with a stick, then slammed it into Ye Lingchen's knee.

These blows were too brutal; Ye Lingchen could no longer stand and groaned as he half-knelt down.

Blood slowly seeped through his shirt, turning his back crimson.

"Stop hitting him!" the mother said, pulling the father back. "What if he gets seriously injured?"

"It's nothing." Ye Lingchen's breathing was heavy, his face ashen. "It was my fault, I deserved to be punished."

"But I do like Lianyun, it's uncontrollable. It's wrong, but I don't regret it."

like--

It turns out he liked her.

When the cane fell again, it was caught by Lian Yun.

He had practiced some kung fu and was very skillful with his hands; with a twist, he pulled the cane out of his father's hand.

“It’s not entirely his fault.” Lian Yun lowered his head. “I… also agreed.”

"you!"

The father grew increasingly angry, grabbed a cane from somewhere else, and started hitting Lianyun repeatedly, regardless of whether she was standing in front of Ye Lingchen.

Lian Yun was pushed away by Ye Lingchen, whose cane hit his shoulder and scratched the back of his ear.

Fresh blood dripped down.

Fearing something might happen, the mother pulled the father away.

"I will handle everything." Ye Lingchen swayed slightly, slowly stood up, and forced a smile. "And I also want to tell the two elders something."

"I want to marry Lian Yun." He spoke very softly, but his tone was firm. "Although not now, but after graduation."

Even his father glared at him, so angry he couldn't speak, and just sat on the sofa pounding his chest.

A terrible silence fell over the room, but it was soon broken by a knocking sound on the door.

The mother opened the door and saw a person in uniform standing in the outer room.

How could there be police?

Lian Yun glanced at Ye Lingchen, then at his father.

"My name is Ye Heng." He showed his ID and frowned when he saw Ye Lingchen's back covered in blood after entering the room. "I came to your house because of the live broadcast incident."

The mother's expression changed instantly. She wanted to say something, but remained silent, only glancing anxiously at her father, whose face was equally grave.

"I am Ling Chen's uncle. Actually, those two kids are informants, helping us investigate the details."

Ye Heng coughed once.

"Of course, in order to avoid being discovered, they also have to really pretend to be the main wave and the customer to have similar photos."

"So these two children acted bravely, not as if they had gone astray. We will contact the media as soon as possible to collect all the photos and remove any negative impact on the children. We have also contacted the school and explained the situation."

Therefore, Ye Lingchen is not really a pervert.

He became an informant to help his uncle.

Lian Yun looked at the other person, his eyes gleaming, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Ye Lingchen simply held his hand and smiled slightly.

"A heroic act." The father slowly uttered these words, blinked, and then rushed over to help Ye Lingchen up. "Oh dear, I'm so sorry."

"I'm sorry, Ye, I was just too anxious and confused."

The father frowned deeply, sweat beading on his brow.

"I misunderstood you, I'm so sorry. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"

"It's just a superficial injury." Ye Lingchen tried to take a few steps, but the movement aggravated the wound, causing his face to contort slightly. "It's nothing."

Ye Heng looked at him and seemed to roll his eyes.

In the end, of course, I went to the hospital.

While Lianyun was completing the formalities in the corridor, his father came over, patted him on the shoulder, and looked serious.

"Why didn't you tell Dad that he's Ye Qing's son?" The father looked dejected.

"What should I do? I hit the provincial party secretary's grandson."

"You shouldn't go on blind dates with that boy next door," the father thought for a moment. "Doesn't Ye Lingchen like you? Why don't you go on a blind date with him?"

No, is it really that hasty?

Although Lian Yun liked Ye Lingchen, he felt a lump in his throat from his father's casual arrangement.

"Dad," he ruffled his hair, "what do you take me for?"

"Oh, my son," the father said, clasping his hands together and bowing his head meekly. "It's not that I want to sell you for personal gain, but I really have no other choice."

"And tell me honestly, you don't like Ye Lingchen? I accidentally saw on the computer at home that you have a folder specifically for him, full of his photos."

"dad!"

How could this happen? When was it discovered?

Her face was burning, but even she knew that her father was acting impulsively out of anger, trying to protect her.

She used to think Ye Lingchen was making fun of her. She thought it didn't matter who she married, as long as he could help her family.

But if Ye Lingchen likes him, how can he accept someone else?

Ye Lingchen's injuries were not serious.

Most of them just had scrapes and bruises on their backs.

Even the father didn't dare to use too much force.

While accompanying Ye Lingchen during his IV drip, the other party revealed the whole truth for the first time.

Ye Lingchen did indeed join the live stream online, but he didn't expect to see Lianyungang listed.

His uncle promised him that if he provided any clues, he would extricate Lian Yun from this matter.

In order to avoid being discovered, Ye Lingchen made many demands despite knowing that they were excessive.

I kept contacting Lianyun, and even followed him, all to tell him this.

But for some reason, when he actually stopped Lianyun in the alley, he made up another lie.

"I've been studying since I was a child. If I can use a simple solution to skip the tedious steps, I will never write anything extra."

Ye Lingchen lowered his long eyelashes.

"It's as if there are shortcuts to everything, and you can find them if you want to."

“I’ve liked you for a long time.” He paused. “Like Dante meeting his Beatrice by the bridge.”

"We should have found a suitable opportunity to gradually advance our relationship."

Ye Lingchen looked at Lian Yun, his eyes shimmering like shattered starlight and bubbles.

"But I was too greedy. I thought, since there's a way to get you quickly, why not do it?"

"I forgot that good relationships need to develop gradually and gradually improve."

"I'm sorry." He ran his fingertips across Lian Yun's cheek. "Can you forgive me?"

The moonlight, like a small boat, tossed about among the reefs of the night sky, scattering silver sand across the ground, engulfing the heart.

"No." Lian Yun leaned closer and kissed the other person lightly. "So, repay me with your whole life."

The best hunter is the prey itself.

Thinking of this, Lian Yun slowly curled the corners of her lips and pulled her arms together.

My wish has been fulfilled; how fortunate I am!
