Your mom was so happy that day, and she even asked me to buy a bunch of vegetables to keep Xiao Ya for dinner. But later she had something to do and left early, so she didn't eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Driving fast on the road, He Lele's face was like it was covered with a layer of dark ice crystals, faintly revealing a cold aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Le Le?\" Li Yiquan looked at her with great worry, regretting once again that he hadn't learned more about her sooner.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele didn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Happy! What exactly happened? Does Auntie's discomfort have anything to do with that 'Xiao Ya'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele slammed on the brakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>She gritted her teeth and endured for a while, \"Don't talk to me for now, don't ask anything, don't say anything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At the fastest speed, He Lele drove to the computer mall. The computer mall was already closed for rest, so she got the contact number for Nie Xiaoqian's mother from the management office.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Auntie, this is He Huan, I want to find Xiao Qian.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, you... sigh... wait a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Soon, Nie Xiaoqian's voice came from the other end of the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"He Huan? Where are you now? I've been looking for you! I have something very important to tell you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, in a small noodle shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian, who had lost a lot of weight, looked at Li Yiquan beside He Lele, hesitating whether to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Xiao Qian, can you do me a favor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nie Xiaoqian's eyes turned red immediately, \"Of course! I'm willing to help with anything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I want Cui Yaran's phone number, it's better if I can find her in person.\" Many of their high school classmates were from the Second Middle School, but she had never been in contact with her classmates, and the only person she could think of was to find her through Nie Xiaoqian.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, why are you looking for her?\" Nie Xiaoqian seemed very nervous about He Lele's answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I have a few questions to ask her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...He Huan, do, do you know that those rumors about you for so many years were deliberately spread by someone!\" Nie Xiaoqian felt even more surprised when she saw He Lele's calm reaction, \"You know? Then do you know that the person who instigated the spreading of rumors is, is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's Cui Yaran, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, when did you know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The day before the college entrance exam, she called me and told me herself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele spoke lightly, but Nie Xiaoqian burst into tears the moment she heard the answer, looking at He Lele in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>My God! For so many years, what kind of life has He Huan been living? All along, she thought she was the one betrayed by friends, she thought she was the one who was most hurt and pained, until now she realized... the pain she felt she couldn't endure was not worth mentioning in some people's lives! Because the pain others endured was thousands of times that!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I should have believed you! I...\" Nie Xiaoqian choked with remorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Nie Xiaoqian crying bitterly, the flame of anger in He Lele's heart because of Cui Yaran eased slightly. Taking a tissue from her cloth bag and pushing it to Nie Xiaoqian, He Lele pulled the corners of her mouth, revealing a shallow smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You didn't do anything wrong, you just made a judgment that a normal person would make.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You, have you never resented me, hated me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele shook her head, her eyes completely calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then, are we still friends?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele was slightly stunned, then smiled sincerely, \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Watching her smile without blinking, Nie Xiaoqian's tears still fell, \"Really, how can there be someone like you in this world!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Uh... He Lele couldn't answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"He Huan! You are really too stupid! So you must find a man who is extremely smart to protect you well! You must be very, very happy in the future, happier than everyone else! Otherwise... otherwise God is too unfair!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Leaving behind a USB flash drive and a stack of A4 paper, as well as an empty tissue bag, Nie Xiaoqian took He Lele's phone number.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Clutching the USB flash drive in her hand, He Lele slowly flipped through the stack of A4 paper clipped into a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Yiquan accompanied her, watching without blinking. For every line he read, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. Just as He Lele flipped to the fourth page, he couldn't control himself and pressed his hand on it, covering the text.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Let him slow down, slow down.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Growing up watching records of cases from various countries and personally coming into contact with various evils, he didn't know if he had been numb from contact too early or if he was born heartless, he... lacked sympathy. And it was precisely because he didn't mix emotions that he was invincible! At least today he knew—he didn't lack anything compared to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that all his emotions were concentrated on one person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You... grew up like this?\" Asking this with difficulty, Li Yiquan found that he couldn't even remember how to breathe or how to move his hands and feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Turning his head to look at Li Yiquan's eyes full of pity and heartache, He Lele looked for a long time before shifting her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't look at me like that, even if I beg you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Yiquan pulled her shoulders, making her look him in the eye, \"Are you scared? Scared to admit that you have me in your heart? That's why you were so afraid of Xiao Yu knowing, and that's why you didn't dare to face me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele lowered her eyes in a panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Li Yiquan sighed lightly, \"...Little fool, can't you see it? Who Xiao Yu truly fell in love with is that Caesar the Great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at her gentle and stubborn little appearance, Li Yiquan stroked her lips and kissed her slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While typing this chapter, I kept getting distracted... because I kept thinking about what that bodyguard was doing... his eyes, expressions, psychological activities...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Why am I so twisted?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Girls~~ Girls should still read the updates in the morning these days~~ After the vacation, I will update earlier~~ It's estimated to be quite late these days~~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>☆, (12 Xian Coins) Chapter 238: Want More\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Her mother's routine ECG and echocardiogram didn't show any abnormalities. To be safe, she still carried a box home to do a 24-hour dynamic ECG measurement. After her parents finally rested, He Lele breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the living room—there were still two men there.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>There was only one guest room in the house, but the bodyguard who looked like he was from a military background had spontaneously slept on the sofa, and she naturally arranged the room for Li Yiquan. After all, the two of them weren't familiar, and she was embarrassed to say they should squeeze together.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After taking a shower and returning to the bedroom, He Lele turned on the old computer at home. Just as she plugged in the USB flash drive, there was a light knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...Is something wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I want to see.\" Li Yiquan said in a tone that didn't allow for refusal.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"L...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His stubborn appearance, mixed with warm affection, made her unable to resist. Li Yiquan took the opportunity to squeeze into the room and sat down at the computer desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In addition to the text materials they had seen before, the USB flash drive also contained a large amount of audio and candid videos. Judging from these materials, Nie Xiaoqian had been looking for people everywhere for the past two months to confirm the source of those rumors and visited the parties involved in the rumors. Finally, she pried out from the old principal of the First Middle School the person who pressured him—the mayor's wife at the time, Cui Yaran's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since you know it was someone else who deliberately framed you, why didn't you clarify?\" Li Yiquan asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...Don't you think it's interesting?\" He Lele pointed to the screen, \"Many things even the parties involved aren't sure about, but those who heard them say they are the truth. When asked why they are so sure, they say they heard it from so-and-so, as if what they heard must be true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\" Li Yiquan was silent for a while. After reading the materials in the USB flash drive, his body and mind felt like they were piled with marble, so heavy that he couldn't move. \"So many years... how did you endure it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele pulled out the USB flash drive and turned off the computer, \"No matter how uncomfortable it is, there are only 24 hours in a day. Day by day, year by year, it will pass. Besides, I met Lingyu after college, which is already very lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lucky...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But her luck was so short! Why does God want to torture this girl like this! Why... punish him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Reaching out to pull her into his arms, the love and pity in Li Yiquan's eyes almost overflowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He Lele turned her head away, \"I don't need sympathy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You know very well that I'm not sympathizing with you.\" Li Yiquan lowered his head to capture her lips. Her red lips were so fragrant and soft, so intoxicating, so much so that once tasted, one would want to taste them again and again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It turned out that a kiss could make one feel soft from the lips to the heart, making the whole body excited and slightly numb because of this intimate entanglement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He wanted... wanted more, but she, however, quietly shed two lines of clear tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Why are you crying?\" Heartache struck, so clear and so intense.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking through teary eyes at the man she had known for more than three years but had met for less than three months, He Lele shook her head, \"I don't know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then don't think about anything. Sleep.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"L! Can we go back to how it was before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes! Go back to before we met. You are still L, not Li Yiquan, and I am just Happy, not He Lele. Just like in the past, chatting occasionally, leaving messages occasionally, I sing for you, you teach me hacker technology... okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...\" Gazing at her pleading little face, he couldn't bear to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I beg you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Le Le, whether in the past or now, I am not just L, but the living Li Yiquan. L likes Happy, Li Yiquan likes He Lele. This point, I cannot deceive myself into forgetting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, no!\" Tears were even more fierce, and she gradually knew what she was crying about, \"L can like Happy,\" shaking her head, \"but Li Yiquan will not like He Lele, and shouldn't like her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"...Stop talking, sleep, it's very late.\" Pulling a few tissues from the desk to wipe her tears, Li Yiquan advised, suppressing his heartache.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No,\" He Lele took a deep breath to stop the tears, \"You just asked me why I didn't clarify those rumors. In fact... those rumors were rumors to the past me, but to the current me, they are not. The current me is indeed the same as in the rumors—lewd, promiscuous...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Author's Note:\u003C\u002Fp>",1904,"2026-06-14T03:55:59.415Z","2026-06-17T08:39:51.626Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c3c9ff7a54ee9a35d39d74bd25300cc12abee8d1865b95b25eb5d54ad8f89777","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-220","the-ultimate-men-s-apartment-chapter-218",301,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ultimate-men-s-apartment-cover.jpg"]
