After pinning Hu Lianglu down, Xia Yu first took a look at the girl. She was wearing a tank top and shorts; she must have been sleeping before he opened the door.
What caused her to develop the idea of attacking him and put it into action within the short time after he opened the door?
Was it a loss of humanity or a moral decline?
As Xia Yu was thinking, Hu Lianglu struggled, shouting, “Let me go!”
Feeling Hu Lianglu’s goodwill increasing slightly again, Xia Yu concluded that her resistance was as laughable as saying “I need to study hard” while watching videos.
Perhaps it was because he hadn’t visited her all day, causing her some emotional distress, which led to the sudden attack. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have started gaining affection just from being pinned to the ground.
Not releasing Hu Lianglu, Xia Yu asked first, “Why did you attack me?”
“So what if I attacked you!” Hu Lianglu bared her fangs and said fiercely.
“Naughty children need to be punished.” Xia Yu pinched Hu Lianglu’s face and started kneading it hard.
Hu Lianglu stubbornly remained silent, enduring over a minute of kneading.
This was just her personality. Xia Yu even suspected that if he had spanked her instead of kneading her face, she would have reacted the same way.
However, although he was currently using An Siyao’s body, he still needed to maintain some level of decorum. What if An Siyao thought he was a pervert?
Releasing Hu Lianglu, Xia Yu pulled her to sit on the sofa.
He rubbed her knee gently, asking, “Does it hurt?”
When Xia Yu subdued her, Hu Lianglu had first knelt on the ground before being pinned down.
The girl didn’t speak, silently increasing her goodwill.
What Xia Yu cared about was only the numerical value of her goodwill; he didn’t really care about Hu Lianglu’s reaction.
While rubbing her knee, he explained, “I was busy yesterday, so I couldn’t come. I’m busy tomorrow and the day after too. I’ll come to see you the day after that.”
The day after tomorrow was the 7th, the day he had agreed to meet Wen Ziying. Tomorrow was the day he had arranged with Xu Youxiang.
After rubbing for a while and noticing that the goodwill had stopped increasing, he stood up and went to the kitchen to pour Hu Lianglu some water.
Hu Lianglu drank three glasses and couldn’t drink anymore.
Xia Yu then started washing her face, dressing her, and combing her hair.
After finishing, he glanced at the bathroom and asked, “Do I need to help you with this too?”
Hu Lianglu walked in by herself and closed the door.
Xia Yu went downstairs and bought breakfast to bring up; breakfast could also increase some goodwill.
At this rate, within half a month, Hu Lianglu’s goodwill would probably reach the level of the Feng sisters. At that point, tool Hu Lianglu could be put into use.
Quickly returning to the second floor, Xia Yu took out the key and opened the door.
After having breakfast with Hu Lianglu, Xia Yu felt there was nothing more to gain in terms of goodwill, so he stood up.
“I’m leaving,” he told Hu Lianglu.
Hu Lianglu didn’t speak or look at Xia Yu. Only after hearing the door close did she quickly turn her head to look.
She saw Xia Yu standing behind her, smirking.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, Hu Lianglu picked up the chopsticks from the table and threw them at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu caught the chopsticks and placed them on the shoe cabinet nearby, then reopened the door, saying, “Well, this time I’m really leaving.”
Seeing Xia Yu truly disappear behind the door, the previously fierce Hu Lianglu immediately changed to a look of emptiness.
She went to the window on the balcony, watching An Siyao get into the car and leave.
After the car disappeared from her sight, Hu Lianglu went to the sofa, curled up her body, rested her face on her knees, and felt very peaceful.
Memories of her childhood flashed through her mind—scenes of her mother comforting her when she was injured.
It was a summer noon. A small cut on her hand made her cry loudly. Her busy mother put down her work, applied a band-aid for her, and held her to comfort her.
The chaos and cicada chirping outside the window, combined with her mother’s gentle words, gave her a sense of summer tranquility.
However, her father immediately pulled her mother away, and the two got into a car, not returning for the next half month.
In her memory, the car that took her mother away gradually overlapped with the one Xia Yu had just taken.
She took a small knife from the drawer of the coffee table.
He said he wouldn’t come tomorrow and the day after because of other plans?
What choice would this person make?
She took out her phone, opened QQ, and found An Siyao’s QQ account.
This was one Xia Yu had forcibly added before.
Well, tomorrow would tell.
Putting down the phone, Hu Lianglu, wearing the clothes Xia Yu had dressed her in, went downstairs and rode a bicycle out for a fast ride.
Her motorcycle had been confiscated, so she could only ride this.
Thus, the day passed.
In the morning, Xia Yu, who had originally planned to go to Xu Youxiang’s place, received a message from An Siyao.
“[Photo]”
When the pop-up showed the word “photo,” Xia Yu was even excited for a moment, thinking that An Siyao, the slow-to-respond one, had finally woken up and decided to send him some benefits as a temptation.
But when he clicked into it, he saw an arm covered in blood.
He immediately called An Siyao.
The phone was answered after one ring. Xia Yu hurriedly asked, “How did you hurt your hand?”
“It’s not me; it’s from Hu Lianglu,” An Siyao replied.
Hearing that it was Hu Lianglu, Xia Yu relaxed.
“Did she send anything else?” Xia Yu asked.
“No, just this,” An Siyao answered.
“Okay, be careful,” after instructing An Siyao, Xia Yu hung up the phone and began to think about what Hu Lianglu meant by this.
He carefully observed the arm covered in blood. It was a large cut on the back, looking scary but not actually serious.
He carefully examined the arm’s features and confirmed it was indeed Hu Lianglu’s.
Although he didn’t know exactly what Hu Lianglu meant, why she, who was always so proud, suddenly sent a message to An Siyao, this was an opportunity to increase goodwill that couldn’t be missed.
If he didn’t go, it might cause irreversible consequences.
He could only skip going to Xu Youxiang’s place for now.
After explaining briefly to Xu Youxiang on QQ, Xia Yu clicked on the avatar and logged into An Siyao’s body.
He went downstairs, called the driver, and headed to Hu Lianglu’s house.
Upon entering, Xia Yu immediately saw Hu Lianglu sitting on the sofa.
Hu Lianglu was staring at her phone. When she saw An Siyao appear at the door, she showed a faint smile.
Xia Yu almost thought he was seeing things.
Without bothering to figure out why Hu Lianglu was smiling, Xia Yu came to her side, pinched the artery on her upper arm to stop the bleeding simply, then picked her up and got into the driver’s car.
The driver was already fully prepared. Upon arriving at the hospital, nurses, stretchers, and specialists were all ready.
The specialist dressed the wound and prescribed medicine, resolving the issue.
Although the wound looked big, it wasn’t deep, not even requiring stitches, though it might leave a scar.
This wasn’t a big problem. If An Siyao had a scar, Xia Yu would be heartbroken and try to fix it, but he didn’t plan to do anything for Hu Lianglu.
After bringing Hu Lianglu back to her house and feeling that her goodwill had nearly reached the level of the Feng sisters, Xia Yu was very satisfied.
“You should rest well. I have something else to do, so I’ll go back first,” Xia Yu said, eager to return for a video call with Xu Youxiang. That girl had quite a temper; she would definitely throw a tantrum after being stood up.
However, Hu Lianglu grabbed his clothes.
Hu Lianglu used her injured hand. Because of her action, the wound reopened again, the white bandage soaked in red blood.
