Chapter 625: Chapter 625: His Obsession and Possessiveness
The two of them didn’t pay much attention, but after a while, it chimed again.
Gu Sheng couldn’t help but glance at her phone, and on the bright screen, he saw the name Cheng Xia.
Gu Sheng’s expression changed immediately.
"If someone at school is harassing you, don’t hold back, don’t hide it, just tell me directly."
Gu Sheng spoke, his tone clearly not as good as it was just now.
Gu Yao was taken aback, not knowing why Gu Sheng suddenly said such a thing.
When the phone chimed again and she noticed Gu Sheng looking at her phone, Gu Yao then realized.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks and picked up the phone to check the message.
She quickly put it down and explained, "It’s a classmate."
"A classmate? Is there anything that can’t be said face-to-face at school and needs to be said privately?"
Gu Sheng really didn’t want to say these words, to avoid another conflict with Yaoyao, and he really wanted to stay calm.
But he just couldn’t control himself.
Today when he saw those two girls, one on each side, clutching Gu Yao, pushing her in the middle, he was so angry he wanted to rush up and strangle them.
"It’s really just a classmate," Gu Yao’s tone carried a hint of helplessness.
She found that Gu Sheng was really paranoid in some ways, and he had a particularly strong possessiveness.
He forbade her from contacting strangers, let alone making friends.
Of course, she didn’t like making friends, so she didn’t think much of it.
"I don’t like them," Gu Sheng’s words carried a bit of childishness.
It was especially like a child vying for attention.
However, Gu Yao didn’t perceive this as charming.
She didn’t understand what Gu Sheng was trying to express with this sentence.
Just because you don’t like them, does that mean I can’t associate with them?
"Classmates in the same class, we see each other all the time, I don’t want to be special, I don’t want to be the one isolated in class or even in the whole school."
"...Only classmates, not friends." This was Gu Sheng’s biggest concession.
Gu Yao looked up at Gu Sheng, who was focused on his meal like a child who had been wronged, and found it a bit odd.
Is he... jealous?
It’s really hard to imagine Gu Sheng having such a... adorable side?
"...Oh, got it."
Gu Yao agreed.
She felt that Gu Sheng had indeed changed a lot; in the past, he’d never have discussed it with her—it was lucky if he didn’t smash her phone directly.
Capital City
In the southernmost place
lies an old prison.
The atmosphere here is so oppressively stifling year-round that even the sky above this prison is darker than elsewhere, and even passers-by prefer not to walk nearby.
They’d rather take a longer route than catch the bad luck here.
This place, even the Prison Guards are fierce and vicious, not to mention those detained inside.
To get into this place, either you’ve done something heinous or you’ve got blood on your hands.
International assassins, notorious thieves, anyone pulled out from here would have once had a "glorious history" as a well-known figure.
Except, of course, for Wu Zhihan.
This old prison is so worn that it’s a bit decrepit.
The money allocated for renovations has gone into other pockets.
And why keep increasing Prison Guards yet refuse to move to a place with better security measures?
That’s because there are too many prisoners inside, and relocating them is truly a difficult task.
These people could do anything, and it’s really hard to ensure nothing happens during the transfer.
The outside is still somewhat visible, but inside, there’s not even a place to set foot.
Cigarette butts, spittoons, even bloodstains are everywhere, with every step, one’s heart trembles.
