Horror games? Whatever, I'll die.

"Am I the only one who cares? Why didn't Vice President Jiang notice the marks on his body back then? That's solid evidence of infidelity."

"Is it possible that he knew, and that he just liked this kind of thing?"

"Actually, there's another possibility: our son is the top one for Young Master Sheng."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Liang Zaibing was too lazy to pay attention to the comments in the live stream about the landslide, so she simply laid it all out on the table.

“I messaged each of you saying I wanted to play a prank on my roommate, but I only provoked you to do it; I didn’t do it myself.”

"You'll have to ask yourselves how Yu Nian died."

The joint testimony effectively cleared him and Jiang Qingjian of suspicion, but Sheng Jingyu, who wanted to betray him, was now a suspect.

After a moment of silence, Ivan was the first to speak.

“In May, Yu Nian took a class on horticulture and floriculture and planted hydrangea seedlings in the experimental field area.”

“At that time, a wild boar had just wandered into the school. After hearing Bing’s suggestion, I led the wild boar into his work field.”

The result was obvious: because the assignment was destroyed and there was no time to replant it, Yu Nian almost failed the course. Although she got a high grade in the end, she was still unable to get a scholarship because her GPA was lowered.

Liang Zaibing couldn't help but ask, "How did you lure the wild boar there?"

“It’s not quite accurate to say I led it there,” Ivan pondered for a moment. “When no one’s around, I just pin the wild boar down at the entrance of the shed, and when I let go, it goes inside.”

"Huh? Barehanded?"

Although Ivan was puzzled as to why he asked that question, he nodded anyway. "After Yu Nian's homework was destroyed, I handed the wild boar over to the security guard."

As long as the wild boar was accidentally released due to a momentary lapse in capture, there's nothing that can be done even with surveillance cameras. Yu Nian and the other classmates who were accidentally injured can only accept their bad luck.

However, this approach is rather abstract.

Liang Zaibing held it in for a long time but finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Meanwhile, he muttered to himself, "Don't be surprised if I'm being strange. I just have a low threshold for laughter; I'm not a bad person."

Mo Qiuping adjusted her glasses. "Because Liang and I only met at the library, Yu Nian didn't know about our relationship and thought I was just his classmate."

"Then I took the initiative to approach him, went to study together, took general courses together, and worked part-time at the same coffee shop on weekends."

"He just fell in love with me like that, and all I had to do was say 'break up' to finish this boring prank."

The other name on that prayer strip that wished for Yu Nian to be with her forever was hers, but of course it was just a joke.

Song Yinghao rested her chin on her hand and smiled gently, "I can't understand why you would do something so pointless for someone."

Mo Qiuping frowned and emphasized, "It's a game character."

She would never do something so stupid.

"Okay." Song Yinghao's eyes were still smiling. "I didn't tease Yu Nian. I just fed the chocolate that Liang gave me to Yu Nian's kitten."

When his classmate called Yu Nian, he hung up while still in class, but the person quickly sent him a WeChat message.

"Come quick, something's happened to Xiaohua! She's under the mimosa tree next to the dormitory building."

Yu Nian froze for a moment, then, without even bothering to put on her bag, grabbed her phone and rushed out of the classroom, ignoring the teacher's questions.

When he arrived, Xiao Hua was lying listlessly in the grass, her mouth open and breathing rapidly. Her usually neat and tidy long fur was now dirty and matted.

When Yu Nian picked him up, she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

I was fine this morning, why did this suddenly happen?

Fortunately, Xiaohua was taken to the hospital in time and was saved, but the expensive medical bills have almost wiped out his savings.

When Yu Nian looked at Hua Hua through the cage, she felt no resentment, only endless fear and relief.

It's okay. He can earn money again by working, but once the flowers are gone, they're gone forever.

But this relief didn't last long; three weeks after returning to school, Xiaohua disappeared again.

Yu Nian searched the entire school but couldn't find it. He begged the security guard for a long time before he agreed to check the surveillance footage.

In the blurry screen, Yu Nian saw Xiao Hua being choked by a person wearing a mask and hat, stuffed into a sack, and taken out of the school gate, never to be seen again.

They eventually learned what happened: the little cat that loved to cling to people and act cute turned into a skeleton buried by the lake.

"The second cat was probably caught by Yun Jie," Song Yinghao calmly pointed out the real culprit behind the cat's cruelty.

Sheng Jingyu's focus, however, was completely different. He was so shocked that his voice rose eight octaves, "You're saying the chocolate was given to you by Liang Zaibing?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Is it a black box sealed with gold sealing wax? And is the sealing wax stamped with 'sf'?"

Song Yinghao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded again, "Yes."

Sheng Jingyu was furious. If looks could kill, Liang Zaibing would have been torn to pieces long ago.

"You said you couldn't bear to eat it in front of me and wanted to take it home to eat slowly, but which sister did you end up giving it to?"

"explain?"

Facing Sheng Jingyu, Liang Zaibing felt unusually guilty.

After all, his character in the dungeon was indeed unkind, a modern version of the "eating and sleeping in the west" idiom. He not only ate, but also used the food to curry favor with the lovers of the north, south, and west families.

She treated Young Master Sheng like a sucker, using his money to support her mistresses, giving away gifts without a second thought, and now she's even cursed because she indirectly gave him chocolates.

In the entire instance, Yu Nianshu was the unluckiest among them.

Liang Zaibing replied dryly, "I don't like chocolate."

Sheng Jingyu laughed angrily, "I stood in line for you under the scorching sun for ages, and you fucking say you don't like it!"

SF's handmade chocolates use raw materials air-shipped from Belgium, making them not only expensive but also limited in quantity, requiring daily queues to grab.

While having money does allow him to hire someone to buy things for him, sometimes when he's blinded by love, he just wants to create trouble to show how much he loves her.

The other party involved showed no awareness of avoiding suspicion, instead smilingly comforting him, "Try to think positively; at least those sweet memories are priceless."

"What do you know?" Sheng Jingyu glared angrily at Song Yinghao. "All I can remember is hatred!"

Seeing Sheng Jingyu get his comeuppance, the live chat was bursting with laughter.

"Our son is really something else. He even dared to cuckold the young master of the Sheng family, and he even wore six hats at once."

"Have you decided which hospital you want to go to upstairs?"

"I've even decided where to buy the house."

"Young Master Sheng, don't be angry. Our son cheated on you because he likes you and doesn't want to break up with you. That's why he cheated. Otherwise, why would he cheat? Wouldn't it be better to just break up with you directly? Why can't he be open and honest with other people? Why does he cheat secretly? Does he like being secretive and ashamed? Isn't it all because he loves you and doesn't want to break up with you?"

"Dude, try to think more positively. In life, it's all about knowing when to play dumb."
