She thought about how he had been taking advantage of her illness to treat her without restraint these past few days, making it known throughout the school that she was his woman.

Now they're actually turning around and demanding some kind of official status from me.

Isn't this acting first and informing later?

She snorted and then said somewhat deliberately, "Didn't you say you were going to be my antidote?"

"I agree."

"Isn't giving you the title of a miracle drug enough?"

Zhou Yushen pinched her face and watched as her lips were squeezed into two narrow lobes, pouting towards the middle.

An increasingly irresistible liking welled up in my heart.

He chuckled softly.

"Good."

"Let's see how long you can keep up your stubbornness."

Shen Zhiyi snorted again and turned her head away.

Looking at her coquettish expression, Zhou Yushen felt an indescribable happiness and satisfaction rising in his heart.

But in an instant.

His usually calm mind stopped him from rejoicing.

He had never been so lucky.

Meeting Xiaoyi was the only sweet, soft candy that enveloped him in his sharp and dark life.

Will they keep having this good luck?

Zhou Yushen's smile gradually faded.

When people are overly happy, they often feel inexplicably worried about the future.

I'm afraid that everything I'm seeing now is just an illusion.

He feared that fate wouldn't be so kind to him, and that at some unexpected moment, all his joy would be taken away overnight.

Zhou Yushen suddenly remembered the empty house outside the school.

I remembered all the things he had treasured there, things related to Shen Zhiyi.

His gloomy emotions, like a waterfall cascading into a deep valley, plunged into an instant.

If she knew...

If she discovers things that cannot be shown to others...

It will remain the same as it is now.

Should we just stay by his side, watch him, and let him take whatever he wants?

Zhou Yushen looked at her.

An irresistible fear and anxiety arose in my heart.

Will she run away?

Will I still accept... this dark and despicable version of myself?

Zhou Yushen dared not think about it.
