Ye Zhiwei thought: This is probably what people online call social death.
Ye Zhiwei felt that it would be better for her to faint and pretend to be dead than to stare at Jiang Jianian like this.
"This is..."
Jiang Jianian gripped the necklace tightly, looked at Ye Zhiwei, and asked softly, "Wasn't this a gift for me?"
"It's for you, but you might misunderstand this gift when you see it—yes, isn't there a card with this gift too?" Ye Zhiwei said hurriedly.
Jiang Jianian took out a card from his pocket.
“Yes, yes, this is the card. Not only this card, but there are also matching sets.” Then Ms. Ye took out all the criminal law books she had bought. “This is how you make a complete set.”
Jiang Jianian simply took out a pen knife from the table.
Long, slender fingers pressed against the gift box, and the exquisite box was cruelly torn open.
There are two books: "Criminal Law" (General Principles and Specific Principles), "On Crime and Punishment" and "Case Analysis of Criminal Law," as well as a red book, which all seem to discuss relevant cases.
Jiang Jianian's hand covered the book. "Given to me together?"
"Yes, this is a birthday present I prepared for you." Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath. "I just think there's no harm in learning some law, and the handcuffs are to encourage you to study together."
"Isn't it to help me control my desires?" Jiang Jianian looked at Ye Zhiwei intently.
Ye Zhiwei forced a smile and said, "That's part of the point! But the main thing is to study hard..."
She casually flipped through the "Criminal Law" textbook and happened to come across the section on rape and forced indecency. Looking at Jiang Jianian's pretty face, she suddenly had a sudden urge to ramble on and on, saying, "I'm actually telling you to study criminal law for your own good, you know? In our country, the crime of rape can only be committed against women, not men. If a man is assaulted in this way, it's not considered rape; it's only considered forced indecency. The statutory penalty for forced indecency is much lower than that for rape. Jiang Jianian, you're so good-looking, you must take good care of yourself. This world is too unforgiving towards pretty boys!"
She spoke these words offhand, almost convincing herself. The central idea of her speech was to tell Jiang Jianian her original intention in giving him the gift, that the purpose of giving the gift was all for his own good. It was a heartfelt and touching statement, a genuine expression of her dedication to cultivating a revolutionary friendship with Jiang Jianian.
Jiang Jianian's attention, however, was on the small handcuffs. He fiddled with them a few times and looked at Ye Zhiwei, saying, "These handcuffs are quite sturdy. If they were made bigger, it would be very difficult for them to break free from the wrists."
“These are made of platinum, so of course they’re hard to break free from—” Ye Zhiwei’s words trailed off. She glanced at Jiang Jianian carefully, took a deep breath, and continued, “Whether these handcuffs are secure or not isn’t really important. What’s important is the handcuffs in your own heart. That’s what can truly bind you.”
Ye Zhiwei had already started talking as she moved towards the door. Even before she turned to open it, Jiang Jianian stepped forward, startling Ye Zhiwei so much that she pressed herself against the wall. "Are you dissatisfied with my gift? My gift meant no harm; it was filled with my best wishes for you and—"
"I'm just opening the door for you."
Jiang Jianian grasped the doorknob, and with a ding-dong, the door unlocked automatically.
The boy gripped the doorknob with one hand and held the necklace in the other. He bent down slightly to look at Ye Zhiwei, restraining his emotions, and said in a low voice, "Ye Zhiwei, I really like the gift you gave me."
