HP: Hogwarts Snake

Della's feeling was right. Zhou Yushi didn't really like her. He had always maintained a respectful admiration for her from a distance.

Della was powerful, Della was troublesome, Della was like him.

Zhou Yushi has a different surname, so his grandparents have nothing to admire about him. It is normal for the elders who have returned from the battlefield to dislike him, and it is also normal not to teach him about family matters.

When he was a child, before he had read many books and was constantly experiencing bad things, Zhou Yushi secretly resented something, and then he found his universal magic trick - pretending to be pitiful.

He didn't choose his family background, and he didn't choose his parents who gave him a lot of trouble.

If he feels disappointed about the first point, his grandparents will teach him Chinese medicine and how to read; if he cries about the second point, his grandparents will fulfill all his wishes.

Zhou Yushi will also use this little trick when he grows up. When he first saw Della, he knew that she was also a person who was very good at taking advantage of her own conditions. The reason he kept away from people like her was that they could use any conditions, whether good or bad, to benefit themselves.

It's okay if you hide it well, but if you are discovered, it's very creepy for people to tear open their scars and show their flesh and blood just for their own benefit.

It rained heavily this afternoon. The clouds have dispersed, the night sky is clear, and a bright moon is visible among the twinkling stars. Tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Zhou Yushi looked at the moon and put down the cup of tea he had been drinking from for a long time but had not seen much less. After reviewing his childhood to the present, he decided to drive away the dark clouds between him and Bellinda.

He stood up, and Tang Yu and Tang Yu, who were accompanying him and worried that he would do something stupid, also stood up. Tang Yu grabbed Zhou Yushi's hand and said, "What are you going to do, cousin? Don't go to Belinda if you are not calm."

"Yes, big brother," Tang Yun also echoed, "Only people who volunteer to stay in this family can do so."

Zhou Yushi frowned and looked at his two younger brothers speechlessly, "Who do you think I am?"

"A man who is about to go crazy for love." Tang Yun summarized it accurately.

Zhou Yushi glanced at him and shook off Tang Yu's hand. "Don't worry, I can only talk."

He walked out of Tang Yu's courtyard and headed towards his own courtyard. Zhou Yushi wiped the scars on his face that were about to be torn open.

Della hadn't come back yet, and Belinda's luggage was already piled up against the wall. When Zhou Yushi entered the room, she was looking at the photos she had taken during her travels over the past six months.

In the photos, they look carefree, with pure happiness and appreciation in their eyes. They are a perfect match as a couple enjoying life. However, when it comes to real responsibilities, the usually fickle person steps forward, while the usually calm person steps back.

When Belinda saw Zhou Yushi come in, she didn't even close the photo album. She just looked at him coldly, "What are you doing here? Are you still trying to persuade me to get rid of him?"

"Yes," Zhou Yushi admitted directly. He walked over despite Bellinda's increasingly cold gaze and sat on the chair next to her. "I should have told you that I have parents, but they are not married. Legally, I am actually an illegitimate child."

"And then?" Belinda waited for his next words.

"And it was an unexpected pregnancy. It was actually my father's fault. He trusted his fortune-telling too much and thought he wasn't destined to have children, so he didn't take the best measures." Zhou Yushi lowered his eyes and continued, "And my mother didn't want a child in the first place. She only reluctantly decided to have one out of love for my father."

Bellinda snorted coldly, "Look, if you can't even do this reluctantly, you just don't love me enough."

"That's the sentence that hurts me the most," Zhou Yushi said with a wry laugh. "But when I was born, my grandfather told me that my father hugged me, looked at my wrinkled face, and left my mother that same day. There was no news from him for several years."

Bellinda's eyes flickered, she pursed her lips, and didn't try to find any more words to provoke Zhou Yushi about this matter.

"What followed was a nightmare for a woman," Zhou Yushi said slowly. "Love left, and her parents' prestige required her to be a good mother. Things became unbearable, like a nightmare, to the point that she gradually began to think I didn't exist."

"She didn't mean to do it, but I almost starved to death in her place," Zhou Yushi's voice trailed off. "So my grandfather sued her in court and demanded that I be given custody of her."

"In hindsight, she was suffering from postpartum depression. The repeated delays must have made it quite serious. The hospital was definitely able to provide relevant evidence in her favor," Zhou Yushi's voice rose and fell. "She's a lawyer, a very outstanding graduate, but at the time, she didn't think of this at all, and she filed her worst case."

Bellinda's eyes gradually became complicated. She saw some of her mother's madness in this reason.

"But she finally got a good outcome, because she no longer had to face the nightmare left by me." Zhou Yushi's eyes flashed with tears that his lover had never seen before. "But from the time she had me to the time she ran away from me, everyone hurt her, including me. You see, Belinda, children are never a gift, but a further shackle."

"It's just a parasite, not even the kind of symbiotic parasite. It's a vampire like me who bites flesh and drinks blood." He lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, sighing deeply. "I don't want you to become like that. I don't want me to become another perpetrator, and I don't want another child to be born into this world as both a victim and a perpetrator."

Zhou Yushi raised his head, his dark eyes stained with tears of despair. He placed his hands on Bellinda's shoulders and said anxiously, "So, don't leave it behind. I'll take you back, but don't leave it behind."

"..." A bitter feeling of sympathy welled up in Belinda's throat. She held Zhou Yushi's face and looked into his eyes for a moment. She still didn't waver in her decision to keep this little life. Instead, she gave the poor man one more chance. "Are you really not brave enough to try at all, Zhou Yushi?"

"I'm scared," Zhou Yushi's hand on Belinda's shoulder trembled. "I've never experienced being a good father, and I don't know if I have the ability to be one. What if I'm just a perpetrator who creates victims?"

"I don't know if I'm capable of being a good mother, but didn't we think about family before it came?" Belinda's amber complexion was also soaked in water. "You have no doubt about your ability to love me, so why would you doubt your ability to love me in a family?"

"Child, everything will change." Zhou Yushi's black eyes moved closer to amber, with fear and tangled emotions flowing in both eyes, but gradually, a kind of determination was reflected from one eye to the other.

"For me, for me whom you love so deeply," Bellinda said softly, "Just give it a try, Zhou Yushi."

"..." Zhou Yushi stared at Amber, the woman who loved him. He said hoarsely, his throat rolling, "As soon as we return to France, we will get married. I will find my mother and set the most stringent legal restrictions for me. If I become the perpetrator of harm to my wife or children, you will deprive me of everything, Belinda."

"We're still one step away from a proposal," Belinda said, suppressing the sourness in her nose. She didn't prepare a ring for Zhou Yushi, but simply held his hand in front of her knees. "You said that you should propose on someone's home turf. That way you can get a thoughtful acceptance, and that's what's fair."

"Now, you are in your home, on your home turf," Belinda slowly tightened her grip on Zhou Yushi's hand, looking at him with tender affection in her amber eyes. "So, will you marry me, Zhou Yushi?"

Zhou Yushi's breathing paused for a moment before trembling. His eyes grew redder and the corners of his lips curled upwards as he gave his carefully considered consent, "I do, Belinda."
