Chapter 115: The Unseen Observer

Su Yao had no intention of confronting Xiao Fish, who was approaching Lin Qing with ill intent. Instead, she watched the situation unfold with amusement and did not expose the truth. She even advised Lin Qing to wait and see what Xiao Fish was up to. At first, Lin Qing was unwilling to agree. He didn’t want to get closer to Xiao Fish, whom he found distasteful. However, after discovering that Xiao Fish was a classmate and noticing the unusual change in the number of white skulls above her head, Lin Qing no longer resisted approaching Xiao Fish—or rather, the disguised Liu Ying. Only Lin Qing, through identifying the white skulls, knew that Xiao Fish was Liu Ying. But no one else was aware of this, not even Liu Hong, who had fallen for Xiao Fish at first sight. Su Yao probably didn’t know either. Oh no… But with her hair covering her face, how could Su Yao know that he was watching Liu Ying? She hadn’t even glanced in his direction! She remained seated, making no move to look back, let alone notice that he was watching Liu Ying. After reading Su Yao’s message, Lin Qing felt a moment of panic, but once he calmed down, he realized something was off. Even if Su Yao knew him well, she couldn’t possibly tell what he was looking at. To avoid being noticed by Liu Ying, Lin Qing had been using his peripheral vision to sneak glances.

‘[吃掉你呦]’: Scared, are you?

‘[林青]’: I’m not talking to you.

Lin Qing realized he had guessed correctly. Su Yao was just teasing him. He had almost fallen for it. This made Lin Qing stop staring at Liu Ying and instead lowered his head to play with his phone, waiting for Su Yao’s next response. However, while Lin Qing was looking at his phone, Liu Ying, who had been reading a book, casually glanced back. Seeing Lin Qing’s silent demeanor, she couldn’t help but smile. Yes! Just like this. She and Lin Qing were the same. Both were ignored at school and had no friends. In fact, Lin Qing’s situation was even worse. When Lin Qing first transferred to the school, he immediately caught Liu Ying’s attention. His awkward movements made it clear he wasn’t well-liked. Later, he was bullied by his desk mate, Wang Fan. When Liu Ying heard Wang Fan using hurtful words to bully Lin Qing, her anger flared, reminding her of her own experiences in middle school, where other girls had called her ugly. Wang Fan was the kind of person who spoke cruelly and acted even worse. This made Liu Ying pay even more attention to Lin Qing. She observed him daily, seeing him sit motionless like a statue, just like herself. Every day at school felt like a torture. Liu Ying believed she and Lin Qing shared a similar situation and that they had a common bond. However, if she approached Lin Qing, this stubborn guy would probably make fun of her. She didn’t want to draw attention to herself at school, as it would reveal her ugliness. So, Liu Ying could only silently watch Lin Qing, trying to find their similarities. This gave her a sense of security and prevented her from being betrayed. When she secretly saw Lin Qing’s family situation in the teacher’s office and found out he came from a poor family, her sense of identification deepened. She and Lin Qing were so alike! This way, Liu Ying continued to watch Lin Qing from afar until Wang Fan falsely accused Lin Qing of inappropriate behavior in the classroom, when in reality, Lin Qing had suddenly fallen ill. At that moment, Liu Ying wanted to rush to Lin Qing’s side, hold his hand, and give him strength. She wanted to angrily scold Wang Fan and tell him to go to hell! But in reality, Liu Ying remained seated, acting as if nothing was happening. She couldn’t approach Lin Qing; it would cause trouble. She watched as others gathered around, seeing Lin Qing’s body shake uncontrollably. Eventually, Zhou Lin saw the situation and quickly took Lin Qing to the infirmary, dispersing the crowd. This made Liu Ying breathe a sigh of relief and start praying that Lin Qing would be okay. Later, Lin Qing returned unharmed, making Liu Ying overjoyed. Her other half was safe! But the happiness was short-lived. Liu Ying soon became restless. Lin Qing no longer silently endured bullying; instead, he stood confidently before everyone, meeting their gazes naturally. It was as if a rat that had been scurrying in the sewers suddenly put on expensive clothes and became a beloved star—impossible. Even if he became popular, he was still just a rat. How could he coexist peacefully with others? Everything was just an illusion. Lin Qing had to be her companion, her other half, hiding together in the dark corners! Seeing Lin Qing’s drastic change, Liu Ying couldn’t accept it. Her heart was filled with anger and restlessness, and she couldn’t calm down. Liu Ying felt that her current state was much better. She had learned to put on beautiful makeup, transforming herself completely. She had also gained a large amount of money through special transactions, achieving financial freedom. Now, she had the confidence to approach Lin Qing. However, Liu Ying still didn’t want to draw attention to herself at school, even though secrets might leak out. But there’s no wall that doesn’t let wind through, and if discovered, she might face expulsion and never see Lin Qing again. Although Liu Ying hated school, now that Lin Qing was there, she found school life quite enjoyable. If Lin Qing could accept Xiao Fish’s affection, that would be even better. As for the day she saw Su Yao in the car, touching Lin Qing’s cheek, Liu Ying thought it was just a rich girl’s fleeting fancy to tease Lin Qing. Girls like Su Yao, born into wealthy families, have everything from birth, and everything they use is the best. Even their choice of men is like that. Lin Qing and she were both imperfect. How could Su Yao be interested in him! Liu Ying thought about her movie date with Lin Qing on Saturday, her face filled with joy. She had decided to dress up that day to win Lin Qing over. While Liu Ying was smiling, Su Yao glanced at her with interest and then returned her gaze to the phone screen, reading the chat messages. Apart from initially startling Lin Qing, Su Yao quickly revealed what she knew. The Xiao Fish who had been bothering Lin Qing was actually a classmate. Su Yao had thought Lin Qing hadn’t noticed, but today she was surprised. After seeing Liu Ying, Lin Qing immediately recognized her as Xiao Fish. But how did he identify her? If Su Yao hadn’t gotten the information in advance, she wouldn’t have paid attention to a stranger and missed the chance to discover Liu Ying’s true identity. Apart from Lin Qing’s keen observation, Su Yao felt there was more to it. Just like the previous Saturday, when Lin Qing and the others were working and a drunk man suddenly rushed in, he fled in a panic after Lin Qing spoke to him. The next day, he turned himself in and confessed to murder. When Su Yao saw the police interrogation records, she found something interesting. The drunk man’s reason for confessing was that he thought his crime had been exposed. To reduce his sentence, he chose to confess. Although the drunk man didn’t make it clear, from the interrogation records, it was implied. The drunk man mentioned a long-haired child several times, making Su Yao realize he was talking about Lin Qing. The person who made the drunk man see the error of his ways. Who had softened his heart? Seeing this, Su Yao couldn’t help but smile. Softened? She probably knew the drunk man was a murderer! But Lin Qing’s life was simple, and now he didn’t even interact with strangers. How did he know the drunk man was a murderer? It was strange and interesting. Lin Qing always brought her surprises and kept things fresh. Thinking about Lin Qing’s hidden secrets, Su Yao felt a surge of excitement, knowing that she would be the one to unveil them. The moment of revelation would be the peak of satisfaction! Although Su Yao was excited about Lin Qing’s secrets, she hid her emotions well, so others wouldn’t notice her thoughts and cause unexpected events. Regarding Liu Ying, who wanted to get close to Lin Qing, Su Yao hadn’t directly told Lin Qing about her secret transactions. It wasn’t that she found it hard to talk about; she just wanted to use this information for something. Oh! The urge to kill was creeping up again. What should she do? The last plan was too brutal and caused Lin Qing to resist extremely. This time, she had to plan carefully and avoid another disappointing result. She wouldn’t let Lin Qing hurt himself again. Then, how would Lin Qing stop her plan? It was something to look forward to. Su Yao smiled, her black eyes sparkling as she thought about her plans. Unconsciously, she raised a hand to prop up her chin, her index finger slowly caressing her lips. Over and over. Her already red lips became even more vibrant, captivating the boys around her, who stared in awe, their faces flushing red as they dared not look anymore. Su Yao was both pure and alluring, a truly charming woman. As Su Yao thought about her future plans, her phone buzzed a few times. When she looked at the screen, she saw a new message from Lin Qing.

‘[林青]’: With Liu Hong’s help, I’ll meet Liu Pei on Saturday.

Su Yao read Lin Qing’s detailed report, paused, and couldn’t help but smile, wondering how he could be so adorable. He didn’t need to report everything so thoroughly. After all, everything was under her control. But Lin Qing’s frank behavior pleased her. After thinking for a moment, Su Yao slowly typed out a message and sent it.

‘[吃掉你呦]’: Okay, be careful, okay~
