Chapter 4: I am your boyfriend

  Kakaxi blocked my way and said to him: "What are you pulling? Hmm, why do I think you look familiar?"

  The next second he was already dodging and hiding behind the office desk. I thought to myself: You, little brother, since you're blocking my way, why don't you block it all the way? What's the meaning of this bear-like behavior?

  Wang Yaoming looked at Kakashi's reaction with some confusion, he was about to speak when Su Haicheng suddenly pushed him away, grabbed my hand and pulled me out.

  I shouted: "Ah! Let go, let go quickly, I'm not going with you! We don't know each other." There were other studios in our teaching building, and the classmates in those studios also came out to see what was happening when they heard my shout. Some people tried to step forward to stop Su Haicheng, but Su Haicheng's personal aura was too strong, his gaze alone could intimidate others, and no one dared to come forward to block us.

  After going downstairs, there was bright sunlight below. He finally let go of me and said "I won't hurt you, I just want to talk to you for a bit."

  The big sun shone on him, but his face still looked a bit pale. However, at least he wasn't a ghost, no ghost could be exposed to such a big sun without any abnormality.

  "My heart calmed down a bit. 'Talk... what do you want to talk about? We don't even know each other.'"

  "He pointed upstairs: 'We know each other! The reaction of that boy just now has already told me, you've investigated me. Let's go, find a place to have a good talk, you don't want to be treated like a monkey by others either!' "

  It was only when I said this that I noticed the classmates upstairs, each of them sticking their heads out of the window to look at us.

  Kakaxi said in a more trembling voice: "Fourth sister, do you want me to help you call the police or find a feng shui master for you?"

  I glared at him and followed Su Haicheng's footsteps. If I were to run away now, would it be in time? Would it be of any use? Those useless efforts might as well not be made. Looking at Su Haicheng now, he seemed basically normal. All I could do was silently plead with him to just chat with me about the weather today and then let me go back.

  I thought Su Haicheng said he wanted to have a chat, at least we should find a comfortable place to sit for a while. But he directly brought me to the basketball court beside the school and sat down. Now it's over two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun is shining brightly, there's no one else on the court.

  He was wearing black clothes, which seemed to be a military training uniform. The boots on his feet were still the same pair of military boots I saw in the village. I had a special impression of this pair of boots because there were some burn marks on the left foot of the boots.

  There is no comfortable table, nor a comfortable chair, and even less any drinks or snacks. I'm disappointed in this handsome Su Haicheng. Wait, what's going on in my mind? He's not even my boyfriend, what's there to be disappointed about?

  He sat there and I stood one meter away from him, indeed not daring to get close to him. He first asked: "What information have you investigated about me?"

  "Kakaxi hacked into a military website and said you died in that mission. Are you really dead?"

  He remained silent for a while without answering my question and continued to ask: "Do you live in the dormitory or rent a house outside?"

  I thought to myself, what business is it of yours where I live? But facing this mysterious person, I didn't dare ask such a question. Instead, I said: "I have a house outside."

  "Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked.

  I'm getting more and more puzzled, why is he talking to me about these things? "No, I live alone. My parents are in a very far place. This house was my grandmother's before. After my grandmother passed away, I've been living here alone. And you? Why did you come looking for me? I really didn't think you'd still remember my name."

  Su Haicheng looked at me, his eyes gleaming with sharp light: "Do you still remember that you told me your name? Then why did you just say you didn't know me? Making such a big commotion, others will think I'm kidnapping you!"

  "I'm asking you, tell me first whether you're a dead person or not?"

  "He still hasn't answered my question: 'All of my documents show that I'm already dead, in other words, I don't have an ID card now and can't find a place to live.'"

  I nodded, it should be this reason. But what does he mean by telling me these things? In other words, he probably doesn't have any money either, maybe he's going to ask me for a loan? "Alright, I'll use my ID to rent you an apartment, and I can also help you pay the first three months' rent, but don't come looking for me again, really. As soon as I see you, I get goosebumps."

  He fell silent, and with a sudden movement, he picked up a fallen leaf from the ground and tore it to shreds. I could sense that he was furious inside. We were just strangers who had met once before, and I really didn't know what he was angry about. I quickly added, "I can only help you this much, you said you're an active military personnel, you won't hurt me, so you should understand the reasoning behind this!"

  He suddenly stood up and took two or three steps forward. Those two or three steps directly forced me to retreat, leaning against the trunk of a tree beside me. He approached me, lowered his body, and his face was less than ten centimeters away from mine, making his eyebrows look even more profound.

  He lowered his voice and said to me: "I'm a dead man now, I don't have an ID card or any identity as a soldier. With my skills, I can kill you and throw you into a river, and it would take twenty years for your body to float up. Even if the police investigate and find out it was me who killed you, what can they do? In all their records, I'm a dead man. Even if they bring me in for questioning, I'm still a dead man! What can they do to a dead man?"

  My heart was racing, because he was extremely close to me. His body had a very strong masculine scent that enveloped me. This feeling was so strange and made me feel uneasy. Also, because of the things he said, his eyes told me that if he really wanted to do it, he would absolutely be able to get away with it.

  And now you, what do you want?

  He lifted my chin with one hand, making me look at him and said: "Look at me, listen clearly. First of all, I'll be living with you for a while. If someone asks, just say I'm your boyfriend. If anyone asks about my identity, tell them I'm a businessman."

  I thought to myself, who would believe he's doing business with a look like that?

  "He continued: 'My identity background, don't mention it to anyone. Also, take care of that classmate of yours, don't let him leak the secret, or I'll kill him and throw him into the river.'"

  "Why must we live together?" I almost cried out, barely finding my own voice to say to him.

  "I have my own plans, so I've arranged it this way. You arrange your work and study well today. Tomorrow, go to City A to help me pick up a package. This, I'll tell you in detail at that time."

  He finally let go of me and I took two steps back. He looked at me with a flustered expression and said, "Take me to your home!"

  My mind is as messy as a ball of hemp. Do I really have to bring this dead man back to my home? And he still plans to live in my house and make me his girlfriend. This thing doesn't look right no matter how you look at it!

  So I didn't move my feet, just leaned against the tree trunk and looked down at the stones under my feet. Not moving at all. My mind was still thinking about whether Kakashi would help me call the police earlier? If I drag out the time a bit, will the police come? Just as I was thinking this, a fist suddenly hit the tree trunk on top of my head with a gust of wind. And that fist was just a few centimeters away from my head, if it had gone down a bit more, it could have smashed my face to pieces. Then Su Haicheng's voice came: "Have you thought about it?"

  "Alright, alright, I'll take you there now." I was so scared that my eyes were closed, and I didn't care what was in front of me or what conditions he had set, I just agreed like this.

  He turned and walked out of the school gate, thinking to himself that what the old man said was true. The old man had once said that with Su Haicheng's eyes and eyebrows, from a physiognomical perspective, he was a ruthless person. He was either a hero or a villainous character. Previously, he became a hero who sacrificed himself in that village, now is he going to become a villain? And the first person he would harm as a villain would be me.
