Li Ji, no, Mu Li slowly recounted the happy and beautiful memories between him and Jiang Huai.
They studied together, ate together, skipped classes together, hid from the rain together, and went on Spring Festival trips together on March 3rd. He accepted flowers from girls, and then he put those flowers on Jiang Huai's hair, which made him playful...
Those memories were so beautiful, vivid and lively that they made Mu Li's depression disappear.
But all this was ruined by the classmate who made fun of other people's privacy. In fact, Mu Li realized very early that he had fallen in love with Jiang Huai. He also thought about leaving, but found that he really couldn't bear to do so. Jiang Huai's silly smile had already deeply entered his heart.
He once tried to confess his feelings to Jiang Huai, but Jiang Huai thought he was attracted to a girl from another family and joked that if he didn't dare to pursue her, he would help him pursue her.
He understood that Jiang Huai was different from him. Jiang Huai liked girls who were as delicate as flowers still covered with dew in the early morning, and his feelings for him were simply brotherhood.
So he decided never to tell Jiang Huai the truth, and just stay by his side as a brother. Maybe he could even act recklessly in the name of making a fuss in the bridal chamber on the night when Jiang Huai married his beautiful bride.
But all this was ruined by that classmate. It was also his fault that he was so careless as to drop such an important notebook in class.
Everyone knew about his unspeakable thoughts about Jiang Huai. For a moment, everyone looked down on him, hated him, and cursed him. Even the teacher who had always favored him began to pretend to ignore him. The dean finally came to him to persuade him to leave the academy.
He will never forget that day. It was pouring rain and he left the academy with his things. No one came to see him off. Only the disgusted glances from the darkness followed him like a shadow.
Bang~
A small stone was thrown from somewhere and hit his forehead. Slowly, he felt pain. He reached out and touched it. There was a faint crimson color, but it was quickly washed away by the rain.
With a self-deprecating smile, even after he left, you are still unwilling to let him go?
Yes, in their eyes, it was this pervert who brought shame to Qingzhou Academy and tarnished this land, so he deserved to be beaten.
Small stones, eggs, and tomatoes were thrown from all directions. A lot of people suddenly appeared in the place that was empty just now. Their eyes were full of disgust and nausea, and they threw the things in their hands with all their strength.
Mu Li did not resist, but just held his things tightly and walked slowly out of the academy step by step.
"Stop it! Stop smashing it, don't smash it. What did Mu Li do wrong?"
Suddenly, those things stopped and nothing hit Mu Li anymore.
He turned around and found that it was not the people who were throwing things who stopped, but Jiang Huai who suddenly appeared and blocked those things for him, and all of them fell on Jiang Huai.
Looking at Jiang Huai's wet body covered with egg liquid and rotten vegetable hearts, the mood of suppressing himself and silently enduring no matter how others bullied him finally collapsed at that moment.
Why, why are you doing this?
I just don’t like girls like you, is that not okay?
Mu Li threw down the things in his hands and protected Jiang Huai behind him, but those people did not stop what they were doing, and more things were thrown at him from all directions.
"Mu Li, hurry up and leave. I'll block them for you. They won't dare to hit me."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Huai pushed Mu Li away and told him to leave quickly.
Jiang Huai clearly... clearly knew that Mu Li had ulterior motives towards him, but he still stood up to protect Mu Li in the critical moment.
Not long after that incident, the news of Mu Li's suicide by jumping off a cliff spread throughout Qingzhou City, and everyone said, "He deserves it. It's his fault that he is abnormal and perverted."
Only Jiang Huai went to the place where Mu Li was said to have jumped off the cliff to pay tribute to him.
"You know, back then, I was hiding in the bushes, watching him mourn me so sorrowfully. My heart was both broken and filled with satisfaction. It turned out he still had me in his heart. Having Jiang Huai in my life was enough. But I only regretted it: why wasn't I a girl? Why couldn't I be with him? Why couldn't I even quietly wait by his side?"
Mu Li looked crazy, obviously talking about the pain. His hands moved a little too much and accidentally pulled the hair of Jiang Huai who was sleeping. Jiang Huai made a "hmm~" sound. Mu Li calmed down instantly and carefully comforted Jiang Huai.
He waited until Jiang Huai fell asleep again before continuing.
"Actually, I really wanted to die at that time. I stood on the edge of the cliff, with half of my foot already sticking out. But the mountain breeze blowing on my face was so comfortable, the birds singing was so beautiful, the mountain flowers on the cliff were so beautiful... Jiang Huai's smile was so silly, all of these made me reluctant to leave.
But at that moment, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe I could fake my death!
Let Mu Li die, change his identity, and no one will know his past...
I had originally planned to leave Qingzhou and start a new life somewhere else, but when I saw Jiang Huai weeping and offering sacrifices to me on the cliff, I couldn't bear to leave. The world is so big, but this is the only person who would cry for my death. How could I bear to leave him?
"So you disguised yourself as a woman to approach Jiang Huai, right?"
Feng Yuyun held her chin with both hands and listened to Mu Li telling his love story with a dreamy look on her face. From time to time, she would say a few words to complement Mu Li when he was too emotional to continue. She did a very good job of supporting the main role.
"Yes, I even went to school to learn how to be a woman and how to walk like a woman, but he still recognized me the first time he saw me."
Mu Li looked down at Jiang Huai with more affection, and her love was so deep that she placed a kiss on Jiang Huai's temple.
"So what did he mean when he said someone was going to hurt you?"
Feng Ming asked a question, but unexpectedly Mu Li's expression changed suddenly, and the cold and ferocious temperament of the little beast he had when he first broke into the room appeared again.
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just curious. If you don't want to say it, you don't have to."
Mu Li glanced at her and said, "Actually, there's nothing you can't say. I've been holding these words in my heart for a long time. Now that I've said it, I might as well say it all at once.
The one who wants to kill me is his father, the high and mighty governor Jiang, the official in charge of Qingzhou.
"Does he know you're a man?"
"That's not the case. Right now, the only people in this world who know that I'm not a woman are him and you."
"Then why did he want to kill you?"
"Hehe, he's the governor, how could he tolerate his son spending every day in brothels and getting entangled with a prostitute~"
Mu Li laughed sarcastically.
