On the terrace, rose petals slowly fell, and the edges of the clouds in the sky softened with the June breeze.

Gu Shiche hid his big bad wolf tail and watched the little rabbit that he was about to swallow start to shed little pearls.

Hesitant to speak.

He still held Jiang Wanqing in his arms, and the rocking chair made a creaking sound as it rocked, but he controlled the amplitude just right.

Tears slowly slid down his cold white cheeks, along the corners of his lips, and into his mouth.

Salty.

"Why are you crying?"

She was still crying breathlessly, choking and unable to speak.

Gu Shiche's fingertips gently stroked her cheek, wiping away her tears.

"Didn't you come up to me and kiss me this time? Why are you crying when you're being a hooligan?"

"It was...it was...accidental." Jiang Wanqing shook her head and choked.

"Accident, then what's written in your notebook is also...accident?"

Gu Shiche held her notebook in his hand, and the stick figures on it were vivid.

Jiang Wanqing stopped crying and snatched the notebook and held it to her chest.

She wanted to leave, but Gu Shiche held her waist.

Jiang Wanqing's beautiful eyes were misty, and she cried, "Let me go...just go."

"Don't go."

Gu Shiche curled his lips, pinched the back of her neck, and forced her not to move.

He sat up straight and leaned forward to shorten the distance between them.

He lifted the sleeve of his sweatshirt, revealing the tattoo on his wrist with the words "Jiang Wanqing".

Gu Shiche then took her wrist, turned her over, and tore off her tattoo sticker.

The three words "Gu Shiche" were clearly visible on her wrist.

Gu Shiche lifted his lips, "You belong to me, and so do I."

"Your name is tattooed on my skin and engraved in my bones. Even my joints creak when I miss you. What else are you trying to escape from?"

Jiang Wanqing looked at him who was so close to her, and she couldn't describe the emotion in her heart.

Her lips trembled as she blurted out, "But...we can't be together."

"why."

"Because... because I can't face those dead relatives."

Gu Shiche paused, his hands still on her waist, and stopped moving.

Jiang Wanqing shook her head, her voice trembling violently.

"I know your biological mother is Liu Mei, not Ruan Ji. Lu Qi has already told me this in an email."

"But even if that's the case, Ruan Ji, Chen Xinuo...the people in the Ruan family were forced to death."

"And my biological father and his family, whom I have never met, were all killed by the Gu family!"

"And I... chose to be with the descendants of the Gu family. This goes against common sense and is impossible!"

Gu Shiche frowned slightly, "Then...what do you want me to do?"

"If you drain all the blood from your body at once, you'll die. So, let's drain a little bit each day, is that okay?"

Gu Shiche's eyes were slightly red, and he inexplicably felt a sense of powerlessness.

There were too many heavy memories between the two of them, weighing him down to the point of suffocation.

Jiang Wanqing wiped her tears with her sleeves, "You lunatic, you're talking nonsense."

She escaped from Gu Shiche's confinement and ran into the bedroom with her notebook.

She crawled into the quilt, wrapped herself up again and again, and buried her face in the pillow and cried.

"Crazy, what a lunatic... You shouldn't mess with this kind of lunatic."

The sky outside the window gradually turned gray, and the sunlight was blocked by thick dark clouds, not a single ray of light coming in.

At the same time, Gu Shiche stood alone outside the bedroom door, half leaning against it.

As he listened to Jiang Wanqing's sobbing, his eyes began to turn red.

He was wrong.

It's still too hasty.

The dark personality in the brain is making a move.

"Why not just tie her back and lock her up like before."

The green tea personality spoke up, "How can you be so rude to your sister? You should pretend to be pitiful and seduce her."

"It's like that... a puppy left in the rain, looking at my sister with those pitiful eyes, trying to seduce her!"

The pink personality scoffed.

"Oh... If you guys can get Jiang Wanqing back, I'll stand on my head and eat shit."

Other personalities: "Then what do you say?"

The pink personality raised her orchid finger.

"You know how to play hard to get? A man should maintain a sense of mystery and let her fall into the trap herself."

"You must create a sense of crisis and learn to keep a proper distance."

"Women understand women best~"

Other Personalities: "So...what to do."

The pink person pulled the ears of the other personalities and said a lot of gibberish.

Inside the mind, all personalities were holding a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Finally, an ultimate battle plan was formulated.

-

Gu Shiche knocked on the door and spoke to Jiang Wanqing through the door.

"I'm leaving, please close the door."

"Didn't they say these past few days are not peaceful? Be careful."

"Don't open the door to others easily."

Jiang Wanqing got up from the bed, curled up by the door, and heard his footsteps leaving.

The front door clicked shut, and then her bedroom door slowly opened.

This time, Gu Shiche really left.

Jiang Wanqing looked at the empty living room and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

She picked up the chocolate cake that Gu Shiche bought, opened it expressionlessly, and ate it expressionlessly.

Jiang Wanqing took out her cell phone and blocked and deleted Gu Shiche's number.

But she had his number memorized in her head, so it didn't help.

Jiang Wanqing threw her phone aside and stared blankly at the sky outside the window which was about to rain.

This time...it should really be over between the two of them.

Out of her sight, the phone screen lit up, with a small roundel icon on it.

Yuan Biao remotely controlled the phone and restored the number that she had blocked and deleted.

At this time, it started raining outside the window.

The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today.

Jiang Wanqing sat in the rocking chair, which still had the lingering scent of his.

She turned on the TV and played the English news.

The familiar scent of pine after the snow in her memory slowly enveloped her and dragged her into her dream.

She fell asleep with the TV on.

The host on TV was reporting the news in a serious tone.

Dear residents, three homicides have occurred recently. Police have confirmed that the same serial killer is to blame.

The killer often targeted Asian women living alone, and he often targeted rainy days.

[The murderer has not yet been apprehended. Please pay attention to safety.]

Outside the window, it was raining continuously and the sky was gray.

While Jiang Wanqing was sleeping, the apartment door slowly opened.

A dark shadow appeared.
