Chapter 8



Su Liang saw Lu Zhizhao at the school gate.

He was leaning against the door of the hovercraft with an ugly look on his face. Anyone could see the low pressure hanging over him, so much so that at this moment, there were not even the people and followers around him who used to come in groups of two or three and could not be driven away. Perhaps even they could sense that Lu Zhizhao was in a bad mood at the moment, so they wisely chose to avoid him to avoid bad luck.

——No matter how kind, cheerful, and sociable they appear to be, the heirs of the Lu family are always powerful and high-ranking officials, and no one would be stupid enough to take risks and cause unnecessary trouble.

Except for that overly stupid guy named Su Liang in the previous life.

Su Liang paused when he saw Lu Zhizhao, but soon he continued walking towards him.

"Lu Zhizhao."

He shouted.

Lu Zhizhao raised his head immediately.

"Xiaoliang, you are finally here!"

As usual, Lu Zhizhao wanted to hold Su Liang's hand, but Su Liang cleverly avoided him. Lu Zhizhao looked at Su Liang in some surprise, but Su Liang just looked back at the person in front of him calmly.

However, the meeting between the Lu family heir and the gifted students in the school was indeed eye-catching enough. Su Liang had already felt that some people in the school were beginning to look over here, and he frowned slightly.

"Let's get in the car first."

Su Liang got into the hover car, and soon Lu Zhizhao also sat in the driver's seat.

The car took off into the air and started to move smoothly.

"Xiaoliang, didn't your class end a long time ago? Why did you come out so late? I was so worried that I almost went in to look for you..."

Lu Zhizhao spoke to Su Liang while driving, and his tone sounded as gentle as before. However, having lived with this man for too long in her previous life, Su Liang easily detected the tension hidden beneath Lu Zhizhao's gentle tone.

He ignored Lu Zhizhao's seemingly casual conversation and looked ahead, asking directly, "What do you want to tell me?"

Lu Zhizhao paused.

After a moment, Lu Zhizhao said solemnly, "Jiayi was admitted to the emergency medical cabin today." After a moment, he added, his voice even lower, "Did you say anything to him? His health deteriorated directly after he went to apologize to you."

Although she had already prepared herself that what Lu Zhizhao was going to talk to her about might not be something pleasant, Su Liang still opened her eyes wide in surprise after hearing Lu Zhizhao's vague words.

He turned his head and looked at the man beside him with great confusion, who already looked a little anxious.

"Ning Jiayi came to me to apologize, and I accepted it. After that, he went into the medical cabin. What does it have to do with me?"

Su Liang said it very calmly.

But perhaps it was this frank, almost indifferent attitude that made Lu Zhizhao, who seemed particularly weak just now, become a little stronger.

Lu Zhizhao stepped on the brakes and drove the car to a quiet road.

He stared at Su Liang straight, as if he could figure out why Su Liang had been acting so abnormally during this period of time.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Jiayi is in the pre-differentiation stage. I have already told you this before. You should know that he cannot have too much emotional fluctuation and cannot be stimulated, because once his emotions get out of control, his life may be in danger." Lu Zhizhao's face was gloomy, and he rubbed his eyebrows. "Xiaoliang, he has been spoiled since he was a child. He has never suffered any grievances in his life, so he came to you to apologize, and his attitude may be a little wrong... But even if you are still dissatisfied with him, you can be patient, at least wait until he successfully differentiates!"

As he spoke, Lu Zhizhao's tone became colder.

He thought of the conversation he had with Ning Jiayi this morning and felt extremely painful.

Before Ning Jiayi passed out, the pale and fragile boy felt aggrieved and told him carefully that it was Su Liang who was unwilling to accept his apology. But at that time, Lu Zhizhao still trusted Su Liang wholeheartedly and thought that Ning Jiayi was just throwing a tantrum, and didn't believe Ning Jiayi at all.

It was not until Ning Jiayi was sent to the emergency room that the Lu family's doctor told him with absolute certainty that Ning Jiayi's illness this time was entirely caused by emotional fluctuations. Only then did Lu Zhizhao realize that maybe Ning Jiayi was not just losing his temper...

Moreover, even Lu Zhizhao himself felt that Su Liang seemed to have become a completely different person in the past few days. The gentle young man who made the heir of the Lu family dream and whose heart beat like a pounding horse seemed to be suddenly covered with a coat covered with spikes.

The eyes that used to be gentler than spring water are now frozen.

Lu Zhizhao had completely lost track of what Su Liang was thinking.

This made Lu Zhizhao feel indescribably anxious.

After he raised his voice and said those words in a very serious tone, the carriage fell into silence instantly.

Lu Zhizhao felt a little stuffy in his chest, and he couldn't help but look at Su Liang again. He was ready to have a big fight with Su Liang, but Su Liang said nothing.

There wasn't even a hint of anger in Su Liang's eyes.

Even the way he looked at himself was as if he was looking at some hopeless fool. A strange thought flashed through Lu Zhizhao's mind.

The anxiety that had been suppressed for a long time was a little out of control at this moment. Lu Zhizhao didn't know why he suddenly made such a fierce accusation against Su Liang:

"Xiaoliang, why did you suddenly become so willful and unreasonable? Do you know that the Ning family will not let it go after you provoked Jiayi so much during the day and asked him to give him first aid? It was because I stepped in to cover up for you that Jiayi finally woke up and did not pursue your responsibility. That's why you can sit in the classroom and finish today's class safely! But if you continue like this... I will not be able to protect you, do you know that?!"

"I know."

Su Liang blinked and finally spoke slowly.

"you……"

Before Lu Zhizhao could speak again, a small smile suddenly appeared on Su Liang's lips.

That smile almost stunned Lu Zhizhao. Su Liang was originally the kind of beauty that could make people dream about her, but in the past, he was always too gentle, like a jade sculpture that had been rubbed and polished for a long time, warm and smooth, without any edges or corners. After getting along with him for a long time, it is inevitable that one would feel that his personality seems to be somewhat unworthy of that beautiful and exquisite beauty.

But at this moment, the sneer with a hint of sarcasm on Su Liang's lips made him look unusually lively. His eyes were as bright as cold stars, his lips were as red as roses, cold and sharp, as if he could cut people's eyes at any time.

"Believe me, Lu Zhizhao, no one knows better than me. You won't protect me."

Lu Zhizhao began to panic.

He leaned towards Su Liang: "Xiao Liang, wait, listen to me, that's not what I meant--"

"In order to avoid getting myself into more trouble, like what happened today, Lu Zhizhao, it's better for us to completely break up and never have any contact with each other again. This way, it will be better for both Ning Jiayi and me." Su Liang said to Lu Zhizhao, "Of course, breaking up is mainly for my own sake. Both you and Ning Jiayi are complete troubles to me, and I really don't want to get involved in your mess anymore."

"Xiaoliang, do you know what you are talking about?"

Lu Zhizhao looked in astonishment at Su Liang, who had a cold tone and even colder eyes in front of him.

"I'm saying, I hope you and Ning Jiayi will go away and stop bothering me."

Su Liang kept smiling, but his eyes were extremely cold. He said this to Lu Zhizhao word by word, then unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door and got out.

Looking at Su Liang's resolute back, Lu Zhizhao's face turned pale instantly.

"Xiaoliang, wait... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now and my tone was a bit harsh, but I'm really just worried about you. Don't be angry! I apologize to you!"

Lu Zhizhao rushed out of the car right behind Su Liang. He had completely lost his previous momentum, and only fear and humility remained in his tone.

Before coming to find Su Liang, he had never thought that things would turn out like this.

In fact, just as he said, he had already solved the problem with the Ning family. When the Ning family's senior steward righteously demanded an explanation from the Lu family about Ning Jiayi's physical condition, Lu Zhizhao directly told them that it was his quarrel with Ning Jiayi that caused Ning Jiayi to fall into a coma and need emergency treatment, and for this he would have to undergo a three-week mental punishment program. But whether accepting the punishment or being held accountable by the Ning family, he never regretted it from beginning to end. He was just very scared.

If he had not arrived in time, and if Ning Jiayi had not cooperated with him to complete that clumsy lie, the Ning family would most likely have found Su Liang.

Lu Zhizhao knew very well that the Ning family had already noticed Su Liang, who had been in close contact with him, and they would most likely find a way to get rid of Su Liang.

The existence of Su Liang is a huge hidden danger to the marriage between Lu and Ning's two families.

The only thing Lu Zhizhao wanted to do was to protect Su Liang.

Because he really likes the other person.

But……

But Su Liang told him that he wanted to cut off all ties with her?

Lu Zhizhao didn't know why, but just thinking about Su Liang leaving him, a huge pain that almost crushed his soul instantly surged into his heart.

[“A Zhao, don’t go crazy, he’s gone!”]

[“A Zhao, can you please sober up a little? Can’t you just let him leave peacefully and give him a little dignity? He’s gone! He won’t come back!”]

[“Lu Zhizhao, in this world, some things are irreversible. The dead cannot be resurrected. You must learn to accept this.”]

It was as if some vague words flashed through his mind.

At the same time, some rapidly changing images emerge.

Lu Zhizhao let out a low cry and hugged his head in extreme pain.

He was completely unable to grasp the true meaning of those words and images, because a hot current gushed up from the back of his neck and directly into his head.

“Ding ding ding—”

"Warning! Warning! Alpha's mental power is out of control at coordinates 153·15·1 on A-23 Street in the Central Star Region."

"Preliminary detection shows that this Alpha is registered as S, triggering a level 3 warning—"
