【Aww!! Why aren't you wearing it? Don't you like it? How about we take the cub to pick out a new one today?】
As soon as she finished speaking, the eyes of the wolves at the dinner table immediately fell on her, and even Zhu's parents stared at her.
Zhu Hao thought of the pigeon egg ring, which was bigger than her thumb, and paused before saying, "Uh... I'm afraid it will fall off."
"If it's lost, just buy a new one." Tang Song stopped eating and stared intently at Zhu Hao, the tip of his tail spinning wildly like a top.
Zhu Hao's heart softened, "I'll go up and put it on after I finish eating."
Hehehe~
Without the Fang family's interference, life went by smoothly, as if it had been put on accelerator.
It's been a month since school started.
It was still quite cold in March.
After class, I took my textbook and went downstairs, just about to go to another building for class, when suddenly everything went dark.
"Best wishes... I like you!" A clear voice rang out from above her head. "Can... can I pursue you?"
A young man in a camel coat, with a straight posture, stood in front of her, holding a bouquet of flowers with fresh and clean colors.
Her ears were unusually red.
Zhu Hao was stunned for a moment; this wasn't the first time a boy had confessed his feelings to her this month.
Since she returned to normal, everyone around her has become friendlier, and she's even attracted more suitors.
She smiled apologetically with practiced ease, took a step back, and said, "I'm sorry, I have a boyfriend, and we're already engaged."
She raised her hand to show the ring on her left ring finger.
It's not that pigeon egg.
It was a ring she made with Tang Song, engraved with each other's names.
It's very plain and unremarkable.
The boy glanced at the plain silver ring, his face full of disbelief. "You don't need such a lame excuse to reject me. I've never met your boyfriend, and he can only give you something cheap like this. I can give you something better. You can consider finding someone else."
Zhu Hao wasn't immune to encountering disbelieving boys. She didn't say anything, just hugged her textbooks tightly and turned to leave.
She had to rush to class!
"I won't give up!" the boy's loud voice rang out behind her. "Even if there really is such a man, I will make you change your mind!"
Hearing this, Zhu Hao felt a jolt run through him and quickened his pace.
"Little Zhuhao!" Geng Ying suddenly appeared out of nowhere, skillfully hooking her arm around Zhuhao's shoulder and pulling her into her embrace.
She glanced back at the boy with the affectionate expression on his face and shook her head. "Tsk tsk tsk... He doesn't even know who his opponent is, yet he dares to say such things. He has no self-awareness. How could my little Zhu Hao possibly be interested in someone like him?"
Zhu Hao patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, stop teasing me."
Geng Ying raised an eyebrow and poked Zhu Hao's cheek. "That's right. You're completely focused on Tang Song now. It's been a month since school started, and you haven't eaten with me even once. If it weren't for the fact that the next class is a general education class, which we both chose, we might not have even seen you."
Geng Ying's tone was as if she had suffered a great injustice, "I don't care, you have to give me a day today."
Zhu Hao puffed out his cheeks and narrowed his eyes into a straight line. "Who is it that keeps thinking about going back to feed the foxes and dogs every day, and won't come out even after I've asked them to come three times? I won't say who it is."
Geng Ying choked back a sob, then playfully pinched Zhu Hao's chubby little face in a vengeful gesture, her voice menacing, "Little Zhu Hao has turned bad now!!"
Zhu Hao raised an eyebrow, not refuting, "Let's hurry up, we're going to be late!"
This general education course is offered by the law school. Sometimes, recent criminal cases are presented in class to explain the criminal law provisions and judgments.
Zhu Hao and Geng arrived late and could only sit in the first row.
Zhu Hao took out his computer, opened the design software, and prepared to finish the assignment from the previous women's clothing design class.
Geng Ying also took out her script and kept reciting it to practice. She was going to host a legal program on TV after class, and this was an opportunity she had worked hard to get, so she dared not slack off.
"Alright, students, today's case is a murder case." The professor's voice slowly unfolded, almost hypnotic.
"About a month ago, a tragic case occurred at a private hospital where a couple was murdered. The suspect was the couple's son, Fang..."
Zhu Hao, who had just opened the design draft, paused, looked up at the professor on the stage.
Having grown accustomed to students with their heads down, the professor suddenly became fascinated when a student began staring at him.
He specifically turned on the electronic screen, opened the case presentation slides, picked up a laser pointer, and pointed to the scene photos that had been pixelated.
"This case is extremely heinous, bordering on inhuman. The murder weapon was a shard of porcelain, the fatal blow was to the heart, and it was an instant kill. Numerous pieces of evidence were left at the scene. The suspect, Fang, was arrested a week ago, and he has confessed to the murder. The prosecution has filed charges, and today is the trial date. Today, we'll discuss how many years should be sentenced for a case like this..."
"According to police reports, this is not the first time Fang has targeted his parents; this is the second time. Two lives have been taken, and he fled to evade punishment. The circumstances are serious, and according to the criminal law..."
At this moment, Geng Ying, who was silently reading the manuscript, also noticed something was wrong and looked up at the PPT.
She recognized at a glance that this case belonged to Fang's parents.
Geng Ying turned her head and looked at Zhu Hao.
She held Zhu Hao's small hand, which was resting on the mouse, and whispered comfortingly, "Are you alright?"
Zhu Hao snapped out of her daze, glanced at the professor, smiled politely, and lowered her voice, "It's nothing."
The professor glanced at the two girls in the first row, then looked back at the slightly gory picture on the screen.
He initially thought the two girls were frightened by the photos of the scene.
He thoughtfully switched the PowerPoint presentation, replacing the scene photo with a police report.
The blue background of the report casts an eerie light and shadow on the professor's profile.
I wish you well and that you can turn your attention back to working on the design draft.
Geng Ying glanced at her again, then stopped memorizing her script and secretly took out her phone to search for the case of Fang's parents.
The trial has ended, and the verdict has been announced.
After glancing at the report and confirming that there were no bloody or stimulating words or pictures, Geng Ying pushed the phone towards Zhu Hao.
Zhu Hao glanced at it sideways.
life imprisonment.
Zhu Hao pursed his lips, picked up his phone, and carefully browsed through the report.
Fang Ming's crimes were heinous and he should have been sentenced to death. However, he had a good attitude and cooperated with the investigation by the prosecution and the police. There was also a mental health evaluation report that appeared out of nowhere. His lawyer negotiated a life sentence for him, and he was taken into custody three days later, just like Fang Ling was taken into custody.
The report remained on the last page, unmoved for a long time.
The phone screen automatically turned off. Geng Ying snatched the phone away and looked at Zhu Hao with concern, "You..."
Zhu interrupted her, "Come with me somewhere after class."
Geng Ying hesitated for a moment, but then agreed, "Okay."
