Chapter 9

Facts proved that studying as if your life depended on it really worked.

The premise was that you had to find someone who would hold a knife to your neck every day and force you to study, but could not actually kill you.

People with escape routes were bound to be mediocre. Push anyone into a corner, and they could become excellent.

Lu Jiayu rising from second-tier undergraduate level to a bottom-rung 985 university was one example.

His mother gave me a red envelope with one million yuan. “Even a bottom-rung 985 is still a 985. In his circle, hardly anyone can get in through real ability. Teacher Yuan truly is Lu Jiayu’s destined benefactor!”

I refused to accept it. “Lu Jiayu helped my grandmother so much. I still do not know how to repay him.”

After I got into Jing University, the school rewarded me with five hundred thousand yuan.

I would buy him an expensive gift instead.

But his mother said, “That was what Lu Jiayu should do. After all, we will be in-laws in the future.”

Me: “Huh?”

Now his mother was the surprised one. “You and Lu Jiayu have not been dating this whole time?”

I asked Lu Jiayu out for a talk. “What exactly is our relationship right now?”

He was so excited he could hardly sit still. “After being ambiguous for so long, are you finally going to make it official?”

Me: “…”

Actually, I did have a good impression of him.

He was silly, simple, big, and obedient.

He did not hit back when struck, did not talk back when scolded, was handsome, and had money.

But he was a masochist.

How could a healthy romance compare to a twisted abusive romance in making him feel good?

So I deliberately said, “Sorry. I cannot give a man official status.”

Lu Jiayu’s shoulders collapsed. His eyes reddened. “I thought you treated me like that because you loved me. So you were only playing with me… Now that you are tired of playing, you don’t want me anymore?”

Tears fell from the broken little crying puppy, each drop huge. “Can we still get along like before? We will be in the same city for university. Can I often come see you? When I miss you, can I still see you… mmph!”

The rest of his words were sealed in my kiss.

He was startled and delighted. “You…”

“Shh.” I gently rubbed his lips, trying my best to act out the troubled conflict of someone overcome by beauty. “Don’t ask. Keep kissing.”

After that, Lu Jiayu spent all day seducing me with his looks.

His boyish voice, his cutesy voice, his whining and wheedling.

Late at night, he filmed a pile of suggestive videos and sent them to me as bedtime reading.

I dangled him along like teasing a puppy.

I simply refused to give him official status.

Every time I saw him cry pitifully,

I felt deeply gratified.

He must have been close to dying from pleasure, right?

No need to thank me.
