Lu Yi and Ye Ran played until after dinner before going home. "Alright, Mom and Dad, you don't need to see us off. We'll go out by ourselves."
The two houses are so close, we'll come back often, and you can come visit us if you miss us.
"Alright! It's getting late, let's go!"
"We're leaving now. Take good care of yourselves at home!"
The two waved goodbye to their parents and slowly walked out of the alley. Just as they reached the alley entrance, they both saw Yi Ming returning with his things.
Seeing Lu Yi and Ye Ran holding hands, a flash of resentment quickly crossed Yi Ming's eyes, but the emotion vanished in an instant, so fast that neither Lu Yi nor Ye Ran noticed it.
Yi Ming suppressed his jealousy and walked over with a smile, "Hello!"
Lu Yi looked at him expressionlessly without saying a word, and Yi Ming didn't feel awkward at all. "Are you guys going back?"
Ye Ran quietly tugged at Lu Yi's sleeve, "Yes..."
Sensing the two people's resistance towards him, Yi Ming's expression changed several times before he forced a smile and said, "Then I won't keep you any longer, goodbye..."
"goodbye……"
Lu Yi ignored him, grabbed Ye Ran, and left without looking back.
Yi Ming was both shocked and furious. What on earth was going on?
He hasn't done anything yet, so why are these two people treating him like this?
Could it be that they already know his identity? But that's impossible!

Yi Ming slowly returned to his current lodgings, which were pitifully simple, unlike the well-equipped place next door.
Yi Ming sat heavily on the only wooden bed in the room, the bed creaking loudly with the movement.
The sound startled a mouse in the corner, which ran in a panic to Yi Ming.
Yi Ming's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he grabbed the rat in his hand, which struggled incessantly.
Seeing this, Yi Ming exerted even more force in his hands. Looking at the rat that was gradually losing strength, he muttered nervously, "Look, what's the use of you struggling?"
No matter how much you struggle, you can't escape from my grasp...
The more you struggle, the more I want to strangle you...
But as long as you behave and listen to me, I will treat you very well...
Weren't we happy before? Why have you suddenly changed?
It's all because of him! I won't let him get away with this! I won't let him get away with this!
You will never escape my control. You will always, always be mine!
Haha...you can't escape..."
Under his frenzied actions, the rat slowly stopped moving, and drops of blood seeped from its pointed mouth...
When Yi Ming came to his senses, the rat's corpse was already cold.
He disgustedly tossed the rat's carcass aside, then lay down on the bed, which consisted of only a wooden plank, without even wiping the blood from his hands.
Looking at the dark rooftop, he slowly closed his eyes...
