As Shen Luoluo read this part, she began to wonder if Zhou You was even human like her. How could anyone think in such a bizarre way?

Ugh! Lu Yanze had goosebumps all over. Calling Zhou You a pervert was no exaggeration!

The saying "ugly people cause the most trouble" was made for someone like Zhou You! How terrifying!

Shen Jiayan had it rough too. Being classmates with Zhou You had even damaged his reputation.

But what happened next? How was Zhou You caught? That was what Lu Yanze really wanted to know!

Shen Luoluo was curious too. The boy had been given a sleeping pill, so he couldn't have woken up so soon. That left only one possibility.

Just as I thought!

He was caught because his other two roommates came back. They both saw the boy lying on the bed, with Zhou You sprawled on top of him...

They'd caught him in the act?! Duan Yixing and Lu Yanze exchanged an involuntary glance.

They didn't know whom to feel sorrier for: the two who had walked in, or the boy on the bed. They all needed to scrub that sight from their eyes!

They didn't need to hear what happened next. Everyone looked toward the group still tangled together in a fight—or rather, toward Zhou You, who was being beaten without landing a blow himself.

He was already bleeding, but the others showed no sign of stopping.

Duan Yixing and Lu Yanze couldn't imagine being the boy on that bed. Forget beating Zhou You up—they might have wanted to kill him!

Just thinking about it made their skin crawl!

But they were outsiders here, and all they wanted to do was applaud. Zhou You had it coming! After all these years, it was about time someone taught him a lesson!

Having someone else teach Zhou You a lesson meant they didn't have to do it themselves. In high spirits, Shen Xiche twirled his key ring twice around his slender fingers. "Let's go. We'll be late for dinner!"

"We should've left ages ago," Shen Jiayan huffed. Just thinking about it made him furious. Through gritted teeth, he added, "If we keep standing around, I might actually lose control and beat him to death!"

"You'd go to prison for killing someone, and I wouldn't visit you," Shen Xiche said coolly.

Shen Jiayan glared at him.

Shen Luoluo froze halfway into the car. Huh?

She could hardly believe what she'd heard. "So you rushed over and hit him just because he talked too much?"

"What else?" Shen Jiayan huffed. That hadn't been the reason at first, but it was now. Otherwise, he had no idea how to explain why he'd suddenly charged over and hit someone.

It was a ridiculous excuse, but it worked!

Shen Luoluo: ...

Oh my god! He's so violent! If I talk too much or walk too slowly one day, will he beat me to death too?

Shen Jiayan: ???

That's terrifying!

Shen Luoluo shuddered despite herself. Then, while Shen Jiayan watched, she quietly edged toward the car door, putting more distance between them.

Shen Jiayan gritted his teeth in frustration. I wouldn't! That's not why I did it!

Watching their little exchange in the rearview mirror, Shen Xiche fought back a laugh. Even so, he couldn't resist lecturing Shen Jiayan. "Shen Jiayan, you can't be so barbaric. Wanting to hit someone just because he talks too much is a bad habit. Girls don't like violent boys."

Shen Jiayan: ...

"Shut up!"

Shen Xiche burst out laughing.

Just then, a phone rang. Shen Xiche took out his phone, saw the caller ID, and slammed on the brakes.

Shen Jiayan and Shen Luoluo hadn't expected him to brake so suddenly. Neither was prepared, and they nearly went flying.

Shen Jiayan smacked his forehead against the seat and roared, "Shen Xiche, what's wrong with you?! Are you trying to murder your own brother and sister?!"

Holding his phone, Shen Xiche looked a little dazed. "I think we forgot someone..."

There was no question who he meant.

Shen Luoluo thought, Oh? Is the plot taking a turn?

Both men froze. What plot twist?

They wanted to hear more, but Shen Luoluo said nothing else.

Meanwhile, at the school gate.

By the time Shen Anya came out, almost everyone had left. Only a few people remained, scattered around waiting for rides. Shen Xiche was nowhere in sight!

Shen Anya stamped her foot in anger. Why was she so unlucky? Her second brother had finally come to pick her up, and she'd been ready to leave the moment the bell rang. But as soon as class ended, the teacher had called her to the office for a talk!

The teacher said she'd been distracted in class lately and hadn't done well on the quizzes!

Hoping to leave sooner, she'd quickly admitted her mistakes and promised to improve. Even so, the talk had dragged on for more than ten minutes. When she came out, the school gate was almost deserted.

It had only been a little over ten minutes, yet her second brother hadn't waited for her! If she hadn't had her phone, would she have had to find her own way home?

Why was even her second brother treating her like this?

When Shen Xiche drove back to the school gate, he spotted Shen Anya standing there alone from a distance. He rubbed his brow. How strange. How had he forgotten Shen Anya again?

"Anya, I'm sorry. Something came up, and we had to go deal with it." Shen Xiche apologized before she had a chance to question him.

Shen Anya's eyes reddened with anger. Out of habit, she went to the front passenger door, only to find Shen Jiayan sitting there. That had always been her seat!

Shen Jiayan didn't look up from his game. "I'm sitting here today. Sit in the back."

Shen Anya looked at Shen Xiche, hoping he'd say something. Instead, he answered his phone. "Soon, soon. We're heading over now."

Shen Anya understood that her second brother wanted her to sit in the back too. She didn't know why, but she didn't want to annoy him. With no other choice, she opened a rear door and got in.

Once seated, Shen Anya smoothed her hair and skirt, then asked sweetly, "Second Brother, you said you had to deal with something. What was it?"

It was a long story, and Shen Xiche didn't know how to explain it to her on the spot. "Just something personal," he replied casually.

That shut down the conversation. Shen Anya could only say, "Oh."
