Pei Zhiyu stood there in a daze, unable to move.

She had been abandoned so many times that she thought she had become numb and would no longer be sad.

But obviously, she cares about Qin Hezhou more than she could imagine, so she is so sad.

She spent the whole day in a daze and didn't even remember how she got back to the classroom. More than half a month passed after that and she didn't see Qin Hezhou again.

Just when Pei Zhiyu thought that it was all over.

He appeared again.

Still in the cafeteria, even in the same seat, Qin Hezhou sat face to face with her.

But this time the place was full of people.

He held the milk, hesitant to speak, looking worried. If I hadn't heard those words with my own ears, I might have been deceived by him again.

"Well, my condolences. Drink some milk, it might make you feel better."

"Ha!" She laughed instead of getting angry.

It's a shame for Taihe Zhou's acting skills if he doesn't go into the entertainment industry and win an award for Best Actor.

Pei Zhiyu stood up and wanted to leave, but after hesitating, he put down the plate, then took the milk from Qin Hezhou and unscrewed the lid.

"Splash--" Pei Zhiyu poured the whole bottle of milk on him.

Suddenly the whole place was silent.

Everyone around was frightened by this scene, and some even spat out their food.

She threw the bottle casually, and the empty bottle fell right at Qin Hezhou's feet, bumping him lightly.

The little flame that had just ignited in his heart was extinguished in an instant...

Pei Zhiyu said, "Get lost."

Later, the entire high school knew that Pei Zhiyu from Class 10 and Qin Hezhou from Class 8 were not getting along.

They are sworn enemies.

Pei Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief as the memory ended. She brushed her hair as if nothing had happened, trying to hide her slightly red eyes, but her voice was hoarse.

For no apparent reason, she brought up another matter: "Actually, this used to be my home."

Qin Hezhou was stunned.

There were many mixed feelings in his expression, and it was hard to tell whether it was more of surprise or pity.

"Are you surprised?" Pei Zhiyu asked with a smile.

She didn't wait for Qin Hezhou's answer and continued, "When I was three or four, my mother died. My father... Pei Guangyuan, he took me home because of pressure. He actually didn't want to care about me at all."

As he spoke, Pei Zhiyu unbuttoned his coat and pulled open the collar of his inner shirt, revealing his smooth and white neck.

There is a subtle scar near the artery.

The color of the scar has become very light, but it is still very glaring to Qin Hezhou.

It must have been scratched by a sharp blade or something.

If the position was a little off, Pei Zhiyu would probably be killed on the spot.

"Who did it?" he asked, his tone hiding a cruelty that he himself didn't even realize.

"My sister, Pei Yuanyuan, you've met her."

Pei Zhiyu restored his clothes to their original state and said nonchalantly, "It's normal for the mother and daughter to dislike me and use me as a punching bag. To the Pei family, I'm nothing."

When she found Pei Guangyuan covered in blood, he just glanced at her indifferently, then casually called a gardener to take her to the hospital.

Pei Zhiyu was led out by the gardener. Suddenly, he turned around and saw Pei Guangyuan hugging the culprit and coaxing him.

How ridiculous.

That man turned out to be her biological father.

Qin Hezhou clenched his fists and asked her again: "Why didn't you go to see your grandfather earlier?"

If she had escaped earlier, she wouldn't have to suffer so much.

Hearing this, Pei Zhiyu laughed, "Do you think he loves me very much? Just because of these inheritances?"

"He just couldn't stand Pei Guangyuan's behavior. As for the reason for leaving the inheritance..." She paused and said helplessly: "I can't guess."

Pei Zhiyu suddenly turned around and stared at Qin Hezhou. "I know you don't want to live under surveillance, and neither do I."

But she wanted a home so badly.

She had to admit that this apartment was even more tempting to her than the company's shares.

"Anyway. If you feel even a little bit guilty about what happened back then... could you please help me? Move in and get through these three months."

She said this through gritted teeth, but Qin Hezhou still did not answer.

"I told you on the day we got the marriage certificate that unless there are special circumstances, you must cooperate with me. Have you forgotten?" In desperation, she had to produce the contract.

"Not me."

"What?"

"I didn't condone Qin Yu harming you." Qin Hezhou said seriously.

Pei Zhiyu subconsciously denied him, "What nonsense are you talking about..."

"I didn't go to see you at that time because I was injured," he said.

"I know."

"Qin Yu beat me."

"..." Pei Zhiyu held his breath

Her intuition told her that today's conversation might overturn everything she had believed in for many years.

Qin Hezhou didn't beat around the bush. He told the story of the "accident" that year, which Pei Zhiyu didn't know.

Few people know about Qin Hezhou's shameful past.

In fact, he had never fought with any gangsters.

That time, Qin Yu couldn't bear to see him being in the news, so he beat him up to vent his anger.

As he started to fight, he angrily shouted, "This is what happens when you act so cocky! You think you're so great?! No matter how capable you are, you'll only be fit to carry my shoes in the future...it's all because your parents are useless."

Qin Hezhou held his stomach and said nothing.

In fact, what Qin Yu said was not completely unreasonable. Even if he tried to show off his ability, he could not defeat the favoritism of the elders in his family.

He and Qin Yu had a common grandfather, the founder of the Qin Clan Group - Qin Wenhua.

In Qin Hezhou's mind, he is just an old man who is both biased and stubborn.

Qin Wenhua had only two sons and one daughter in his life: the eldest was Qin Hezhou's father, Qin Zhengye; the second was Qin Yu's father, Qin Zhenghao; and Qin Hezhou's younger sister-in-law, Qin Mengzhi.
