Chapter 283

"Don't look at me like that, even if I beg you."

Li Yiquan pulled her shoulders, making her look him in the eye, "Are you afraid? Afraid to admit that you have me in your heart? That's why you're so afraid of Ren Lingyu knowing, and that's why you don't dare to face me?"

He Lele lowered her eyes in a panic.

Li Yiquan sighed lightly, "... Little fool, can't you see it yet? The one Ren Lingyu truly fell in love with is that Caesar the Great."

He Lele looked surprised.

Looking at her gentle yet stubborn little appearance, Li Yiquan stroked her lips and kissed her slowly.

Author's Note:

When I was typing this chapter, I kept getting distracted... because I kept thinking about what that bodyguard was doing... his eyes, expressions, psychological activities...

Why do I have such a weird sense of humor?

Girls~~ girls, you should still read the updates in the morning these few days~~ I will update earlier after the vacation~~ It will probably still be quite late these few days~~

☆, (12 Fresh Coins) Chapter 238: Want More

Her mother's routine ECG and echocardiogram showed nothing abnormal. To be safe, she still carried a box home to do a 24-hour dynamic ECG determination. After her parents finally rested, He Lele breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the living room—there were still two men there.

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. She naturally arranged the room for Li Yiquan. After all, the two of them weren't familiar with each other, and she was embarrassed to tell them to squeeze together.

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 drive, a light knock sounded on the door.

"... Is something the matter?"

"I want to see," Li Yiquan said, not allowing for rebuttal.

"L..."

"Happy."

His stubbornness 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.

In addition to the text materials they had seen before, the USB drive also contained a large amount of audio and candid videos. Judging from these materials, Nie Xiaoqian had been asking around for the past two months to confirm the source of those rumors and visited the parties involved in the rumors. Finally, she pried out the person who pressured him from the old principal of the First Middle School—the mayor's wife at the time, Cui Yaran's mother.

"Since you know it was someone else who deliberately framed you, why didn't you clarify?" Li Yiquan asked softly.

"... 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 hearsay are spoken with certainty that what they say is 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."

"..." Li Yiquan was silent for a while. After reading the materials on the USB drive, his body and mind felt like they were piled with marble, so heavy that he couldn't move. "All these years... how did you endure it?"

He Lele pulled out the USB drive and turned off the computer, "No matter how hard it is, there are only 24 hours in a day. Living day by day, year by year will pass. Besides, I met Ren Lingyu after college, which is already very lucky."

Lucky...

But her luck was so short-lived! Why does God want to torture this girl like this! Why does he want to... punish him like this.

Reaching out to pull her into his arms, the love and pity in Li Yiquan's eyes almost overflowed.

He Lele turned her head away, "I don't need pity."

"You know very well that I'm not pitying 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 wanted to taste them again and again.

It turns out that a kiss can make one feel soft from the lips to the heart, making the whole body excited and slightly numb because of this intimate entanglement.

He wanted... wanted more, but she, however, quietly shed two lines of clear tears.

"Why are you crying?" Heartache struck, so clear and so intense.

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."

"Then don't think about anything. Sleep."

"L! Can we go back to how it was before?"

"Before?"

"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 hacking techniques... okay?"

"..." Gazing at her pleading little face, he couldn't bear to answer.

"I beg you!"

"Lele, whether in the past or now, I am not just L, but the living Li Yiquan. L likes Happy, Li Yiquan likes He Lele. I cannot deceive myself and forget this point."

"No, no!" Tears flowed more fiercely, 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."

"... Don't say any more, sleep, it's very late." Pulling a few tissues from the desk to wipe her tears, Li Yiquan persuaded her, suppressing his heartache.

"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 no longer rumors. The current me is indeed the same as in the rumors—lewd, promiscuous..."
