"Red Joy, are you in a bad mood?" Shi Huaifeng suddenly asked.
Le Yu was drinking an iced Honey Five-Flower Tea while watching the idiots who had been arrogantly throwing their weight around moments ago, but were now crying for their mothers as they swam in the sea. At those words, he blinked. "No, I'm in a great mood."
Could it be that the punishment I proposed was too harsh and made them suspicious? After all, Le Yu had only been dead-substituting for Qin Leyin for less than a day. He had yet to sort through all the memories, and he had inherited none of Qin Leyin's habits. Right now, he was simply the authentic Le Yu wearing a different skin.
"You rarely offend people. Otherwise, you just make sure they don't walk away." Shi Huaifeng shook out his blue-and-white windbreaker. "I thought you'd either teach them a lesson and then placate them, or just sink them in the river. They're either friends or corpses. There's no third option."
"So it's because I wasn't ruthless enough..." Le Yu smiled. "I just suddenly realized that watching them glare at me with gritted teeth, helpless and too afraid to come over and bite me, actually feels pretty good."
Shi Huaifeng was somewhat surprised. "Isn't this kind of twisted pleasure, deriving enjoyment from the weak, what you used to despise most, Red Joy?"
"People always change." Le Yu raised the drink in his hand. "For instance, I suddenly discovered that Honey Five-Flower Tea is pretty tasty too."
Shi Huaifeng was about to say something else, but his younger brother Qin Yueyang suddenly patted him on the shoulder and mouthed three words.
Jing Zhengwei.
Shi Huaifeng immediately nodded pensively. When he looked at Le Yu's back, a trace of emotion showed in his eyes.
