Having gone through much before and been trained by Qin Xiao at the old house, Xiao Li now has some intuition about danger. At the moment their figures disappeared into the elevator in the lobby, someone passed by the laboratory door as if unintentionally. Seeing Xiao Li return to school again, Gu Zhiyuan’s heart raced; as long as she came back to school, that was all that mattered. She was here, and he finally had a chance! After class, Qin Xiao returned to find Xiao Li sitting there lost in thought, not even noticing his arrival, "Nini, what are you thinking about?" "Little brother, you’re back. I have something to tell you. Just now, as I was returning from Professor Chen’s, I felt someone was secretly following me. But it’s been so long since I last returned to school, and I haven’t offended anyone, so why would someone be stalking me here?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment, "Maybe some tabloid reporters. When you woke up, I only revealed publicly that you had awakened, didn’t say much else. The day you were discharged, there were people hiding in the shadows taking photos, but I had it handled. Don’t worry, I’ll have Feng Ye investigate who might be lurking around the school." Although the university controls the entrance of outsiders, they can still come in with an appointment. Upon hearing this, Xiao Li relaxed a bit; if paparazzi wanted to take photos, then it was no big deal. But when did she become so famous? "Why would they take pictures of me? I don’t think I have any newsworthiness!" Qin Xiao laughed, "Who said you weren’t newsworthy? Before going to the disaster area, you were exposed as a white-clad angel fighting the epidemic, but soon after this news came out, you were severely injured while helping in the quake zone. During the time you were injured, many were waiting outside the hospital for news about you. Later, when you woke up, I informed the media that you had regained consciousness, but didn’t mention your amnesia. Then many just stayed at the hospital gate, hoping to snap a picture or two of you." Xiao Li pouted, "I’m just an ordinary person, yet these people are really just too idle." Qin Xiao laughed, "You sit for a while, I’ll go check the laboratory." Xiao Li shook her head, "I won’t sit. Since we know it’s some bored people stalking, I won’t worry, and sitting here is boring. I want to go to the library and read for a bit." "Alright, I’ll come directly to the library to find you after I’m done." Xiao Li packed her bag and left, heading straight for the library after exiting the lab. The library was very quiet, Xiao Li picked up a book and found a corner to read. But she had only read for a little while when someone sat down opposite her, "It’s you!" Because they were in the library, the other’s voice was small, but the surroundings were quiet, so Xiao Li heard it immediately and looked up to see a boy standing before her. Where had she seen this person before? Gu Zhiyuan smiled, "I’m Gu Zhiyuan, we met by the lake last time, I even gave you a painting." With Gu Zhiyuan’s reminder, Xiao Li remembered, "Oh, it’s you! I haven’t thanked you for the painting yet!" By the way, where is that painting? Probably thrown away by her jealous little brother! Gu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly, "I should be the one saying thank you, you gave me great material. It felt great painting it." Xiao Li smiled without speaking further, her gaze returning to the book. Gu Zhiyuan was not offended, and simply sat next to Xiao Li with his book. Seeing with the corner of her eye that he wasn’t sitting across from her, Xiao Li sighed in relief. If he sat opposite, she’d have to change seats, otherwise if her little brother saw, he might overturn the vinegar jar again. If he overturned the vinegar jar, it was her who would be troubled! After finishing his tasks, Qin Xiao came to the library, and standing outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he saw Xiao Li sitting there reading, and directly walked in to sit opposite her. As soon as Qin Xiao sat down, Xiao Li knew it, smiling and raising her head, "You’re done, huh?" Qin Xiao nodded, "Yeah, let’s go have lunch!" "Okay, let me return the book first." They chatted and stood up together to return the book, then left the library. Gu Zhiyuan sat at his spot, watching the backs of the two leaving and the smile on Xiao Li’s face, a fierce storm brewing in his eyes! After leaving the library, Qin Xiao took Xiao Li to the garage, planning to take her out for lunch, and then go home since he had no classes in the afternoon. At night, Gu Zhiyuan arrived at his apartment with a cold air; inside, Yue Wenwen was eating. To prevent Gu Zhiyuan from noticing her ulterior motives, during her confinement, she obediently stayed put, ate on time, and slept at bedtime. Even though she worried about her sister to the point of sleeplessness, she feigned sleep regardless. Gu Zhiyuan opened the door and saw Yue Wenwen eating, walked over and pressed her face into the noodle bowl with one hand. Caught off guard, the noodle soup in the bowl was still very hot; Yue Wenwen instinctively tried to scream but was choked by the noodle soup! "Cough, cough... cough, cough..." Gu Zhiyuan released his hand, allowing Yue Wenwen to raise her head. "Cough, cough... Brother... I didn’t do anything! Why are you?" Gu Zhiyuan pulled her hair, forcing her to face upwards, "Why? Because you did nothing, you deserve to die! If you had just told me she lost her memory from the start, then I would have had more opportunities to plan. Now, even though she has lost her memory, she’s fallen in love with someone else again, and I’ve lost the chance. It’s all because of you!" Talking, Gu Zhiyuan dragged Yue Wenwen to the ground, took off his belt, and lashed it onto Yue Wenwen’s body! "Ah... Brother... I was wrong, I won’t dare again next time!" No matter how Yue Wenwen pleaded, Gu Zhiyuan didn’t stop, hitting her with the belt over and over. Only when Gu Zhiyuan felt satisfied did he throw the belt aside, grabbed her collar, and smiled coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know, you deliberately didn’t tell me earlier. You didn’t want your dear sister to get caught by me, since in your heart, this brother of yours is nothing less than a demon! Rest assured! Even if she’s fallen in love with someone else now, so what? I will still have her! It doesn’t matter if I can’t have her heart, as long as I can have her physically!" With her mouth bleeding, Yue Wenwen weakly pleaded after hearing Gu Zhiyuan’s words, "Brother, my sister saved your life, Professor Qin saved our whole family’s life, no, he saved many people, you can’t repay kindness with malice!"
