Ye Chen closed the window and walked towards Shi Nian, asking, "Niannian, why did you lock the door from the inside?"

Shi Nian: "Do I need to report to you before locking my own room?"

Ye Chen: "We're boyfriend and girlfriend. I come over every night. You never used to lock me up so tightly..."

Shi Nian sneered: "You've never been this reckless before."

Ye Chen said innocently, "Niannian, Qiu Sheng's situation really can't be entirely blamed on me. My accident with her happened before I started dating you, and her pregnancy wasn't something I could control..."

Shi Nian looked at him expressionlessly.

Ye Chen walked over and sat down next to her, putting his arm around her shoulder. "Niannian, think carefully. Since we started dating, have I ever done anything to betray you? Every time something happened, haven't I always stood by your side and helped you?"

"That time you cheated on me and I lost my temper doesn't count; you were also at fault that time!"

Shi Nian thought about it carefully.

After they started dating, he seemed to be helping her the whole time.

The first time at school, Bai Lian'er pretended to be his girlfriend, but he ruthlessly exposed her.

The second time, Bai Lian'er took out the photos she had secretly taken and falsely accused her of wanting to be a third party and ruin their relationship. Ye Chen had just been bled dry by her at the time, and after receiving her call, he immediately ran to find her, ruthlessly slapped Bai Lian'er in the face, and even threatened to sue her.

Later, Bai Lian'er ran away from the police station and hired someone to kill her. Afterwards, he caught Bai Lian'er and asked her to come up with a way to punish her, which he did.

When Qiu Sheng and Qiu Bai came to him this time, forcing him to make a choice, he chose to die, without saying that he would abandon her and be with Qiu Sheng.

After they started dating, he always sided with her.

But the thought of the accident that happened between him and Qiu Sheng left her with a knot in her heart that she couldn't untie.

Even if she didn't love him, the thought of his body being dirty and him coming to her... made her feel terrible.

"Niannian, don't be angry anymore, okay? I promise that nothing like this will ever happen again. No matter how Qiu Bai or Qiu Sheng pressure me, even if they use the debt of saving my life to force me, I will never betray you." He solemnly swore.

Even if it costs him his life, he would never betray Shi Nian!

Shi Nian's face was grim as she pushed him away, her voice icy, "Leave my room. From now on, without my permission, you are not allowed to hold my hand, touch me, kiss me, or hug me."

"Nian Nian..."

"If you don't listen, we're ending this relationship." She gave him a warning look.

Ye Chen's words came to an abrupt end.

He looked into Shi Nian's cold eyes and his heart skipped a beat.

He could tell that Shi Nian was serious and not joking with him.

There was obvious rejection and disgust in her eyes.

Perhaps the fact that she didn't immediately break up with him was already an act of kindness on her part...

A hint of hurt appeared in Ye Chen's eyes.

He wanted to say something more, but looking into her eyes, he couldn't utter a single word.

He opened his mouth, but finally said, "Then... you should get some rest. I'll take you to school tomorrow."

He stood up, gave her a deep look, and then turned and left the room.

His tall figure looked very lonely, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.

…

Meanwhile, Qiu Bai and Qiu Sheng, brother and sister, returned home.

"Brother, why did you take me away so suddenly today? We haven't even forced Fifth Master to take responsibility for me yet. If we miss this opportunity, we'll never have another chance!" Qiu Sheng angrily questioned.

Qiu Bai said, "Even if we stay, it's no use. Fifth Master would rather die than force him. There's no point in forcing him."

Qiu Sheng asked angrily, "Then what do we do now?"

Qiu Bai sneered, a sinister glint in his eyes, "Don't worry, little sister, I've already thought of another way..."
