HP: Becoming a Maiden Heartthrob

"Did he hurt you?"

Mrs. Cole brought Tom and Lee En to the office and asked her with concern.

Li En glanced at Tom, who looked at her expressionlessly. She lowered her head and shook it, remaining silent.

This made Mrs. Cole even more convinced that Tom had bullied her, and she couldn't help but yell at him, "You really deserve to die, Riddle, how could you hide her? She is a person, not your pet!"

Tom stared at Li En, seeing that she didn't even look at him, he couldn't help but retort, "I picked her up, she's mine!"

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Cole was so angry that she slapped him.

With a snap, Tom fell silent.

Li En was startled and looked at Tom.

He didn't look at her.

Mrs. Cole then looked at Li En, and seeing her frightened expression, she quickly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I've already taught him a lesson."

Li En nodded.

Mrs. Cole looked at her smooth long hair and asked worriedly, "Did you run away from home?"

She was taken care of so well that she didn't feel like an orphan.

Li En lowered his head and whispered, "I don't remember."

She said this with tears in her eyes.

"Oh, poor child," Mrs. Cole hugged her.

Li En leaned in Mrs. Cole's arms, feeling a strong gaze. She looked over and met Tom's cold gaze.

But there was a red slap mark on his cheek, which made him look not very intimidating.

She turned her head.

*

Tom was put in solitary confinement by Mrs. Cole because he not only stole Ms. Martha's pudding, but also kept Lee En in his room.

Li En was registered in an orphanage by Mrs. Cole. She had her own room and got to know the other children in the orphanage.

Billy Stabta was the boy who went to Mrs. Cole to rescue her.

"Thank you, Billy," Lee En thanked him while they were having dinner together.

Billy blushed and shook his head.

"It's a good thing Billy rescued you," said Amy Benson, the lovely girl who sat next to her and shared the same room with her. "You have no idea how really Riddle was..."

She winced.

Dennis Bishop, who lived with Billy, nodded.

Tom is the only one who has a single room here because no one wants to share a room with him.

Dennis said, "He took us into the cave and told us we were going on an adventure, but he pushed us into the pool of water inside the cave."

"Didn't you tell Mrs. Cole?" Li En couldn't help but speak.

Mrs. Cole didn't look like someone who wasn't worried about the children.

"We can't talk about this," Eric Wallace shook his head. "He'll take revenge on us."

Li En learned a lot about Tom's great achievements from them. Stealing things and food were just trivial matters, and using snakes to scare and threaten people was normal.

Moreover, he seems to have super powers, he can control things to fly, and he can even talk to animals.

Li En: What Disney princess?

After not seeing Tom for a few days, Li En felt refreshed, but was soon defeated by the food in the orphanage.

Brown bread and baked potatoes alternate, and maybe a little milk sometimes.

It was hell.

Li En simply couldn't bear it any more.

So about a week later, Li En went to find Tom.

Although he was an annoying kid, he saved her after all.

Most importantly, she didn't really want to live like this.

dong dong.

Arriving at the door of Tom's room, Li En knocked on the door and called out, "Tom."

There was no sound inside.

Li En called out a few more times, but when he didn't respond, she knew he was angry with her.

Given his personality, he probably thought she had betrayed him.

Or she is his pet.

It really is life-saving, why does she think so.

She sighed and said, "Tom, I'll help you plead with Mrs. Cole. I know you must hate me, but you really need to understand one thing -"

"People can't be kept as pets."

"Go away!"

Tom's voice finally came from inside the house, a suppressed roar in anger.

Li En left obediently. According to her usual habit, she usually stayed away from people like Tom who refused to change and were self-centered.

But these days, every time she lay in bed, the image of a boy with black hair and black eyes appeared in her mind, which made her unable to let go of Tom.

It turns out that having a life saved is so important.

She now had a deep understanding of the domineering CEO in those romance dramas who is obsessed with the heroine who saved his life.

Then help him correct his ideas first, teach him how to be a good person and how to become powerful.

But what if he becomes powerful and starts bullying others?

This thought flashed through Li En's mind before he came to see Mrs. Cole.

"Mrs. Cole, I actually have a request..."

But that's none of her business.

*

Only after finding Mrs. Cole to plead for Tom as promised did Lee En return to the house.

Amy saw her approaching, "Where have you been?"

Li En took off his shoes and said, "I'm going to pee."

"Oh," Amy responded, placing the doll in her arms in front of her, "Do you want to be friends with her?"

Li En looked at the doll in front of her. It had the same hair color as Amy and was wearing the same clothes. She couldn't help but say, "It looks a lot like you."

"Yes, Cole's mom made it for me," Amy said, kissing her doll on the cheek. "She said I would have a baby like this one someday."

Her smile was bright and sunny.

"Wow," Li En responded and asked flatteringly, "What's her name?"

Amy laughed, "It's called Margaret. Mama Cole said it means Pearl."

When he heard her word "pearl", Li En, who had been indifferent, was stunned and subconsciously touched his wrist.

"What's wrong?" Amy noticed that something was wrong with her.

"Nothing," Li En frowned and looked at his wrist.

Why did she think she should wear a pearl?

After Martha came to remind everyone to go to bed, Amy blew out the lights and Li En closed his eyes and went to sleep.

She slept very uneasily, with a vague figure always in front of her. It was very far away from her, but it occupied her mind and made her keep chasing it.

Until he stopped for a moment, she rushed to catch up with him, and when she saw his blurry black hair, her heart ached.

Li En suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of black eyes, full of extreme hatred and crazy possession.

"Tom..." she cried, feeling a sharp pain in her heart.

She looked over and saw that he was holding a knife to her heart, the blade already piercing it, causing a little blood to seep through the fabric.

"Even if I don't want you," Tom said in her ear as she watched, his voice hoarse and hoarse, "I won't give you to anyone else."

"I am going to kill you."

But the fear and pleading he expected were absent, nor were there tears or signs of weakness. Instead, she calmly said, "Okay."

Tom's face twisted and he growled uncontrollably, "I'll really kill you!"

"Well?"

Before Li En could respond, his voice caused Amy to mumble in her sleep on the bed.

Tom froze.

He had escaped secretly, and if he had been discovered and sent to Mrs. Cole, he would have been locked up longer.

Li En took a look and pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them.

Tom paused and looked at Li En with a complicated expression.

She could have asked for advice...

"If you kill me," she whispered to him, "you will be sent to prison."

"I don't want to see that ending."

"Just let me die, okay?"
