"Are you here to play too?" Zhao Xi tilted his head and asked Lu Qingci with a smile.

Lu Qingci seemed a little absent-minded. He kept avoiding Zhao Xi's gaze. He didn't say anything, but just nodded.

Zhao Xi didn't care, she was in high spirits now. She didn't actually have much time to play, and things like an aquarium weren't places Zhao's mother would take her to. The Zhao family doted on her, but they controlled her with the strictest rules, and she attended the most socialite banquets.

Putting the phone in Lu Qingci's hand, Zhao Xi was used to ordering him around: "Quick, take a picture for me."

Then he quickly ran to a group of clownfish, held his face with both hands, his eyes curved into crescents, his bags under his eyes like bulging beans, and smiled innocently.

Lu Qingci paused with his finger. Zhao Xi waited for a while and then ran over. He checked his phone and frowned as he said, "Why did you take such a short photo of me?" Zhao Xi looked at Lu Qingci in confusion as he could not see the bottom of the photo. "How many photos did you take? Twenty-nine? No, your fingers can fly!"

"But your hands are so steady, some of them are okay..." Zhao Xi lowered her head to look at her phone, the white light shining on her fair face, she looked quiet, elegant and pure at this moment.

She pretended very badly.

Lu Qingci almost thought sarcastically, too soft-hearted, poor performance, even though she kept yelling that she wanted him to be a dog, she actually treated him as an equal. Lu Qingci felt that if he refused Zhao Xi's request, her first reaction would not be anger, thinking that he was ungrateful, but doubt, that innocent look seemed to be asking why didn't you help me? Was her request too much?

He remembered Zhao Xi from his previous life. She almost forced Zhao Peipei to death. The worst time was when she stripped Fu Peipei naked and took photos, forcing Fu Peipei to roll down the stairs holding her. Maybe it was because evildoers would be punished for evil. Zhao Xi fainted directly, but Fu Peipei was fine with her as a cushion.

A venomous snake cannot be played by a sheep. Zhao Xi is the only variable that Lu Qingci has discovered. Coupled with her innocent behavior and beautiful looks, it is rare that Lu Qingci is interested in her. In order not to be bored, he will not let Zhao Xi die.

But what about now? Lu Qingci's soul seemed to fly into the air, half of it mocking Zhao Xi, and the other half trembling, especially when his eyes met Zhao Xi's smile, Lu Qingci almost couldn't maintain his human form.

Lu Qingci is not stupid. He knows clearly why he is like this. He has fallen in love with Zhao Xi.

Why? The evil ghost questioned in his heart: What do you like about her? Clumsy movements, pretty face? Too superficial, no, it's just that part of him hasn't disappeared yet, it has nothing to do with Zhao Xi. Didn't the one sinking at the bottom of the lake also die from that despised love?

The evil ghost's hands were filled with blood, and his dark eyes gradually turned red: If I kill her now, will I still love her?

His bloodshot eyes stared at the white neck. Just as Lu Qingci was about to raise his hand, his phone was stuffed into his pocket. Zhao Xi ran to the other side and said, "Come on, take another photo. Bend down and raise your hand higher, so you can take a higher photo of me."

Lu Qingci did as she said meticulously, listening to Zhao Xi's praise: "This time it's much better, and we have to shoot this one too."

Forget it, let's try again next time. Lu Qingci held the phone and took a serious photo of Zhao Xi.

After a very happy day, Zhao Xi said goodbye to Lu Qingci and said with a smile, "Goodbye."

But she really didn’t expect that the goodbye would be so soon!!!

Zhao Xi supported Lu Qingci's heavy body, and his soul almost flew out of his body.

Because at dusk, they said goodbye at the door, Zhao Xi had only been walking around for an hour when he saw Lu Qingci covered in blood in a dark alley. Because it was too mysterious, Zhao Xi was stunned when he saw it.

After she realized what was happening, she ran over to see that Lu Qingci's head was covered in blood and one of his hands was twisted abnormally. He must have been beaten. Even though Zhao Xi had a hundred questions in her mind, she didn't bother to think about them. She took out her phone and called 120.

As a result, Lu Qingci grabbed his wrist. He raised his eyes, blood dripped from his long eyelashes onto his silver jade face, his eyes were as fierce as a demon. Zhao Xi was frightened for a moment, and then he heard Lu Qingci say hoarsely: "Don't go to the hospital."

That's why Zhao Xi was in such an awkward position carrying Lu Qingci on her back. Because of his current appearance, Zhao Xi suspected that if she was taken out, she would be treated as a murderer and presented to the police.

So Zhao Xi picked up a shared electric bike and took the person home with great difficulty. She was afraid that the person would faint, so she talked to Lu Qingci along the way: "Lu Qingci, how did you offend so many people? Why did they beat you up like this?"

Lu Qingci's head was resting against her back, and her soft and petite body seemed to be able to transmit warmth to him. Lu Qingci could feel her heart beating violently. Zhao Xi was very nervous. He smiled helplessly with his cracked lips: You really don't know how to be a bad person at all.

Zhao Xi faced the evening summer breeze and heard Lu Qingci's answer: "Zhao Xi, my mother was killed by my father."

Her mind went blank for a moment.

Throwing the man on the sofa, Zhao Xi became troubled again when he saw him covered in blood. He could only order some medicine on the errand running app, and then went to get a clean towel, wet it and used it to wipe the blood off him.

As he rubbed his face, he touched his trembling eyeballs. Lu Qingci had opened his eyes, but his eyes were dead and cold.

Zhao Xi paused, thinking that Lu Qingci was not in good condition, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to your injury?"

Lu Qingci had already recalled this incident. It happened when he was off work at the aquarium. He almost forgot about it, but the crowd of people rushing out reminded him of it. Compared to the despair in his previous life, he was much calmer, with more disgust in his heart: "My mother's relatives are very desperate because my father was arrested, so they can only find me."

Absurd. This was the only word in Zhao Xi's mind. Why was Lu Qingci always hurt for such a ridiculous reason?

Zhao Xi took a deep breath and said, "She is their relative and also your mother. How shameless is it to vent her anger on you?"

It's bad enough that the parents divorced and ignored Lu Qingci, but now they are still dragging him down. Zhao Xi felt powerless. Lu Qingci's situation at school had just improved, and now his parents are causing trouble again.

The title of a murderer's son was given to Lu Qingci, and Zhao Xi didn't dare to imagine what Lu Qingci's situation would be like in school.

Lu Qingci said casually: "Maybe it's because I have half of my father's blood in me."

Zhao Xi stood up and turned around angrily: "In their matter, you are the one who was hurt the most!" Her cheeks turned red with anger, like an angry tomato: "What a bunch of weirdos, you are in big trouble!"
