Fu Hao handed Luo Zixi a bottle of sports drink, and at the same time took out a pack of tissues from his coat pocket, took one out and thoughtfully wiped the sweat from Luo Zixi's forehead.
Luo Zixi blushed immediately.
"Everyone's watching."
"It doesn't matter."
Fu Hao smiled and, seeing that Luo Zixi didn't open the drink, took it back, opened it for her, and handed it to her.
Drink small amounts frequently.
"good."
The three little girls not far away all wore kind, maternal smiles as they watched this scene.
Although Luo Zixi used to be domineering, after meeting Tu Keke and getting together with Fu Hao, she is now as low-key as a nobody, enjoying an ordinary and happy campus life.
Tu Keke knew that she had bullied Yu Xiaoyu in the past, and she couldn't get rid of her resentment towards Luo Zixi. However, seeing that the other person was doing well, she was genuinely happy for him.
Xiao Nixiang unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to Man Sui, then unscrewed another bottle of water and handed it to Tu Keke.
"You two run so fast, it puts a lot of pressure on me."
Man Sui took a small sip of water.
"Moon, don't be nervous, relax."
Tu Keke nodded with a smile.
"That's right, that's right."
Just then, the PE teacher called out Xu Rongyue's name, and it was her turn for the next group's physical test.
Xu Rongyue stood up, her figure resolute, like a soldier heading to the front lines.
"I'll be right back!"
Man Sui and Tu Keke huddled together, their expressions filled with worry, looking quite forlorn.
"My lord, we await your return!"
You must come back!
Xu Rongyue nodded heavily, adjusted her glasses, and the glasses reflected a white light.
"Once this war is over, we'll come back and have a few big, healthy boys, and raise them to adulthood together!"
The three little drama queens burst into laughter.
After seeing Xu Rongyue off to the "battlefield," Tu Keke started talking to Man Sui again.
"Xiao Sui, do demons have very long lifespans?"
Man Sui looked at the blonde girl beside her.
“It’s very long, much longer than a human. You can tell by looking at Sister Xinci. She’s lived from the ancient times recorded in ancient books to the present day.”
Tu Keke knew Man Sui would say that.
How can a person live as long as a demon?
"I don't want to be separated from everyone."
Man Sui shook her head.
The atmosphere between the two became somewhat heavy.
After a moment of silence, Tu Keke stood up and looked at Xu Rongyue, who was running hard on the field.
"Moon!! Keep it up!!!"
Then, she turned to look at the little pink-haired girl.
"Life is short, only a hundred years. Live each year you can!"
"Just cherish the present moment."
"I want to create many, many more memories with everyone in the future!"
A glint of light appeared in Man Sui's pink eyes as she looked at the blonde girl's radiant smile. Her previously sorrowful expression was now replaced by a smile.
"Um!"
In winter, the days are short and the nights are long; by the time the school bell rings at five o'clock, it's already dark outside.
Luo Zixi and Fu Hao walked side by side, hand in hand, preparing to leave the school gate.
Although the two were childhood sweethearts, Luo Zixi's father, Luo Zhong, bought a new house two years ago and moved away from their original house. Now, the two will separate at the school gate because they are on different roads.
"See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow. Shall we call each other tonight?"
Fu Hao held Luo Zixi's little hand, reluctant to let go. Luo Zixi leaned closer, stood on tiptoe, and gently tapped Fu Hao's cheek.
"Hit me, I want to hear your voice, I want to hear you say goodnight."
Fu Hao smiled gently.
"good!"
After they parted ways, Luo Zixi headed home, while Fu Hao went to find his mother to go home together.
Luo Zixi took out Bluetooth earphones from his schoolbag, put them in his ears, and played a light and cheerful tune for going home.
She was completely unaware that a figure was secretly following her from behind.
She had only taken a couple of steps when Fu Hao sent her a message.
"Xiaoxi, Mom and I are going home now. Be careful."
Luo Zixi's lips curled up.
【Okay!】
With her phone screen off, she habitually faced the screen, wanting to check if her hairstyle was messy.
The newly lit streetlights shone on her, and Luo Zixi saw a figure rapidly approaching her from behind through the black screen. Just as she turned around to see who it was, she felt a sharp pain and then lost consciousness.
Having nothing to do lately, Luo Zhong went home early to cook for his wife and daughter.
Son? He sent him to his parents' home in the countryside, so they wouldn't have to see him.
It was almost seven o'clock, and his wife had already come home from get off work, but his daughter, who was supposed to be dismissed from school at five, was nowhere to be seen.
Luo Zhong initially thought he had gone out with friends and forgotten to come home, but after sending several messages without receiving a reply, as a father, he was immediately filled with a strong sense of unease.
Luo Zhong took off his apron and hung it on the side of the refrigerator. He put on his coat and prepared to go out to look for Luo Zixi. Luo Zixi's phone had a location tracking feature, so he could find her by using that location.
Once in the car, Luo Zhong checked the real-time location, and immediately frowned.
"Why would they be outside the city?"
Having been a policeman for many years, Luo Zhong was very cautious. He did not choose to go alone, but instead called some of his subordinates who were off duty, in case something happened and he couldn't handle it alone.
In an undeveloped forest outside the city, a dilapidated old house stands in a clearing in the middle of the forest.
Luo Zixi woke up groggily and found herself tied to a wooden chair. It was dimly lit, but she could still see a person in a black robe sitting opposite her.
With something stuffed in her mouth, she couldn't speak and could only make muffled sounds.
The man in black robes stood up from his chair and walked straight toward her, taking off his hat to reveal a face that Luo Zixi recognized very well.
With a sinister grin, Yu Xiaoyu reached out and ripped the gag out of Luo Zixi's mouth.
"How could it be you? Weren't you dead?"
Looking at Yu Xiaoyu's pale face, Luo Zixi felt a surge of fear, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Her mind began to replay the scenes of bullying Yu Xiaoyu.
Yu Xiaoyu gently patted Luo Zixi's pretty and smooth face with her cool palm.
Why can't it be me?
Looking into Yu Xiaoyu's bloodshot eyes, Luo Zixi felt even more terrified, and his body trembled even more violently.
"What...what exactly do you want to do?"
Kidnapping is illegal!
Yu Xiaoyu chuckled lightly upon hearing this.
Do you remember how you bullied me?
After saying that, Yu Xiaoyu walked out of the old wooden house and brought in a red bucket filled with ice water.
Without saying a word, he poured the water on Luo Zixi.
The sudden chill made Luo Zixi breathe faster, and he couldn't stop breathing through his mouth.
"That time in the bathroom, it was winter, and it was very cold. You poured a bucket of water on my head just for fun, didn't you?"
"How does it feel, so refreshingly cool?"
Luo Zixi gritted his teeth, trying hard not to tremble.
"Is that all the tricks you have? Bring it on!"
