 Jiang Nian immediately looked away, hoping that Pei Shuheng wasn't there to see him. But no matter how much he tried to hide, he couldn't escape; Pei Shuheng was there specifically to ambush Jiang Nian.

Pei Shuheng hadn't slept since last night. Every word he had said to Jiang Nian before was true, but Jiang Nian hadn't believed him.

From the very first day Jiang Nian started flirting with Pei Shuheng, Pei Shuheng had followed Jiang Nian to his dormitory. After observing him for several days, he discovered Tan Shisheng's presence and deliberately avoided Tan Shisheng's presence, sneaking into Jiang Nian's dormitory and leaving a camera.

Later, Pei Shuheng would always stand by Jiang Nian's bedside watching his sleeping face when Tan Shisheng wasn't there, until one day he accidentally discovered that Jiang Nian slept very soundly and wouldn't be easily woken up.

Things started to change completely, although it wasn't normal at first.

Pei Shuheng considered himself a pure virgin. In the beginning, he only kissed Jiang Nian's lips, which he wouldn't let anyone touch, and pinched Jiang Nian's hands, which he didn't resist. This made Pei Shuheng feel very satisfied.

If he could, he'd want to pin Jiang Nian down on the bed and toss and turn, keeping his poor wife cooped up in bed all day, only able to cover her bottom and cry as she hit him. But it wouldn't work; it would just lead to another round of passion and desire.

But Jiang Nian wouldn't agree, and Pei Shuheng felt heartbroken.

But this was alright too; his wife was pursuing him, and he was pursuing his wife, though he didn't understand why she was avoiding him more and more lately.

Was he too enthusiastic, scaring her away?

Then Pei Shuheng became increasingly unsatisfied, increasingly excessive, making a mess of Jiang Nian's life. He then half-heartedly held his sleeping wife, and in the dark, took a picture of their cheeks touching in the darkness.

Like a couple intimately tasting forbidden fruit.

This photo remains his phone's wallpaper. The

system, witnessing the whole thing, thought: "I really want to call the police."

Pei Shuheng was too immersed in this feeling of being with Jiang Nian, causing him to sometimes blur the lines between reality and fantasy. The Jiang Nian who avoided him during the day and the Jiang Nian who wouldn't reject him at night were two completely separate experiences.

This drove Pei Shuheng increasingly insane until he couldn't take it anymore and told Jiang Nian the truth about everything he had done to him. In his view, his intimacy with Jiang Nian had surpassed everyone else's, and no matter how bad Jiang Nian's reputation was, he should have taken responsibility for him, but he hadn't. Jiang Nian was terrified.

He thought Pei Shuheng had lost his mind.

But Pei Shuheng's "fantasy" was actually real behavior.

The system vaguely reminded Jiang Nian not to get too close to Pei Shuheng.

Jiang Nian didn't know why, but the system wouldn't harm him, so he completely cut off contact with Pei Shuheng. To prevent Pei Shuheng from bothering him again, he found Xu Haiyuan, who was also in the top class and seemed unapproachable, to be his tool for avoiding Pei Shuheng.

The effect was good; even when Pei Shuheng came looking for him, he didn't have a chance to get close.

But if pushed too far, Pei Shuheng wouldn't just come looking for Jiang Nian to take responsibility, so Jiang Nian would maintain a lukewarm chat with Pei Shuheng in the future.

The reason Pei Shuheng hasn't gone crazy yet is actually quite simple: if Jiang Nian doesn't give him any incentive, he'll take it himself. He's been constantly observing Jiang Nian's daily life and habits in bed through a webcam. His

daily records are stored in secret files on his computer, totaling dozens of gigabytes.

That's why he saw Tan Shisheng's actions last night.

Pei Shuheng was undoubtedly furious. He could do this himself, so why should anyone else?

Especially not Tan Shisheng. Pei Shuheng didn't consider Tan Shisheng a rival in love. After all, firstly, Jiang Nian was his roommate, and there was no hint of Jiang Nian trying to seduce him; secondly, Tan Shisheng rarely returned to the dormitory, spending most of his time sleeping in the private dormitory provided for the vice president by the college.

Therefore, Pei Shuheng had always assumed Tan Shisheng wasn't interested in Jiang Nian.

Now, thinking about it, that's utter nonsense!

How could a vice president like Tan Shisheng share a double room with someone else!

If he didn't have ulterior motives, how come Pei Shuheng was the only one in the entire school to accidentally discover him living with Jiang Nian?

Pei Shuheng wanted nothing more than to kill Tan Shisheng, but his remaining rationality calmed him down. He wanted to be with Jiang Nian for a long time, and he couldn't waste time on unimportant people.

Even so, Pei Shuheng still suffered from insomnia all night, his eyes glued to the screen, afraid that even a second, even a second, would be enough for Jiang Nian to be taken advantage of by a bad guy without her noticing.

Pei Shuheng had no concept of himself being that bad guy.

In a way, Jiang Nian was right to think he had mental problems.

After seeing Jiang Nian wake up, Pei Shuheng rushed to the dormitory building with his phone, waiting for her.

He missed Jiang Nian so much. His poor wife had no idea what she had been through, treating that bastard Tan Shisheng as her good roommate.

But Jiang Nian was still avoiding him.

"Wife, let me take you to class today." Pei Shuheng hadn't slept all night, but he wasn't sleepy at all. He followed Jiang Nian energetically, and seeing the dumplings Jiang Nian was carrying, he felt a little annoyed that he had forgotten to buy his wife breakfast. He wouldn't do that again.

"He's really not a good husband,"

Pei Shuheng thought.

Jiang Nian, unaware of Pei Shuheng's inner turmoil, assumed he was having another episode of delusions. She tightened her grip on the bag, turning away to avoid his gaze.

Although petite, Jiang Nian had a straight back and perfect proportions; even her hurried walk to avoid Pei Shuheng was remarkably elegant.

But Pei Shuheng was like a leech, impossible to shake off. He kept muttering to himself, telling Jiang Nian about his plans for their future and how much he missed her.

He kept emphasizing, "Tan Shisheng isn't a good person, wife, you should stay away from him." "

So you're a good person?"

Jiang Nian pretended not to hear. Halfway there, her eyes lit up. Ahead was Zhong Rui, carrying a schoolbag and walking slowly.

Jiang Nian felt she and Zhong Rui were fairly familiar with each other. After telling Pei Shuheng he was leaving, she ran to Zhong Rui's side, panting slightly, and pressed herself tightly against his arm, her fingers gripping his clothes as if she were terrified.

Zhong Rui initially mistook her for someone else and almost pushed her away, but then he caught a glimpse of Jiang Nian's sweaty nose and immediately recognized her, relaxing.

Seeing Jiang Nian's tense state, he turned to look behind him and saw Pei Shuheng following them.

Zhong Rui recognized him; in D City's upper echelons, everyone knew each other. Zhong Rui hadn't met Pei Shuheng many times, but he had some impression of him, mainly from the Pei family. There was a rumor in the Pei family that there was a family history of mental illness.

Zhong Rui immediately understood the reason for Jiang Nian's unusual behavior—she had offended someone she shouldn't have and couldn't shake them off.

It was only right that the fickle Jiang Nian suffered a little.

However, Zhong Rui thought that since Jiang Nian had come to him for protection, it was a sign of trust and reliance, so even for his own sake, he couldn't stand idly by.

Thinking this, Zhong Rui's expression remained as calm and confident as ever.

He didn't take Pei Shuheng seriously.

He took his hand out of his pocket and gently placed it on Jiang Nian's waist.

This made Pei Shuheng's face darken.
