Noon, days later.
The bell rang as a sign that the morning class was over. All of the students started to leave their classrooms and went to eat in the school cafeteria.
The green-eyed boy also tidied up his desk and put his books into the school bag, ready to leave the classroom.
“Classmate Zhou Yu!”
The coy voice stopped him.
Zhou Yu turned around and looked at the source of this voice indifferently.
Karina, who met her sweetheart, immediately fiddled with her long blond hair, “Uh, hey~ Are you free tonight? Do you want to watch a movie together?”
There was only one theatre in town, and it was nearby. Usually, there are a lot of couples going there, thus it was also named as “Couple Cinema”
So if a girl asked to watch a movie together there, then it was obvious what she meant.
Zhou Yu frowned and replied coldly, “No time.”
When Karina saw Zhou Yu was going away, she panicked and reached out to stop him, “Wa, wait! My dear Zhou, why are you so cold?”
Karina smiled brightly again, looking at the beautiful youth in front of her, “Forget it~ Say, I like you and you don’t have a girlfriend, right? So, how about dating me?
As it was shown, Karina was the kind of person who would never surrender unless she achieved her goal.
In the face of such a beautiful youth who suited her taste so much, how could she let it go so easily —— Moreover, this beautiful youth, who arrogantly rejected her, was like a Kaolin flower[1]. This made her more tempted to chase him.
Zhou Yu looked at her indifferently and answered with disgust, “No. I still have something to do, so please don’t bother me anymore.”
Zhou Yu walked out of the classroom, leaving the head-over-heels schoolgirl behind.
It’s been a month since Zhou Yu reported the Holy Sect. All of its believers, who had become lunatics because of their immersion in dreams, was admitted to a mental hospital for various reasons —— including Morris’ mother, Emily. That woman, who sent her own son to the altar, and afterwards pretended that he had moved somewhere else, was completely crazy now. The Holy Sect she believed in abandoned her and sent her to the mental hospital.
Some of the students in the school also went crazy and were sent to the mental hospital. Now, everything seemed to be calm again.
But Zhou Yu knew that it wasn’t over yet.
Because the Holy Sect didn’t only exist in this place, it was spread all over the country.
The families behind those crazy fanatics had brought these scandals down and there were no media that dared to post something about that event —— Morris’s grievances had never been washed away.
But, Morris’s power was also limited. He could only move around in this town, so he could not punish the sinners who were far away from here.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu glanced down at his portrait in the book —— Samael.
Zhou Yu didn’t like this God who caused Morris’ suffering. But if the records in the books obtained from the villa are correct, then Morris could inherit all of this god’s power.
And, the faith from the Holy Sect, who worshipped Samael, could be flowed to Morris. Turning those faiths into his power.
Now, Morris has stopped taking revenge and stayed at home quietly because all of the people who directly caused his death had been punished. But the quieter Morris was, the more Zhou Yu felt that those sinners could not be forgiven.
One day, he would make this entire Holy Sect pay the price.
After having lunch very quickly, Zhou Yu quickly went back to the classroom to do his homework for his afternoon class. Accidentally, he heard the conversation of several students who like gossip.
“Scared me to death! Di, did you know! W, what happened just now!”
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you stammering…”
“What, what I said was… Karina! That super hot transfer student jumped off and committed suicide!”
“W, what? She’s dead? Impossible, why didn’t I hear anything!”
“…She jumped from the second floor. She hasn’t died yet, but the blood and screams just now were very miserable!”
Zhou Yu stopped turning over the textbook.
A hint of helplessness flashed in the depths of his green eyes.
Just now, he was thinking that Morris had been behaving very well recently and deserved to be praised, but now he made a mess[2].
In the evening, the bell rang which meant school was over. Zhou Yu swept away the irrelevant past days, quickly packed his books and ran out of the classroom.
He needed to find Morris to confirm something —— to ask what happened in the morning.
Seeing the warm lights in the empty small building, Zhou Yu’s originally indifferent eyes gained some warmth in them.
“Morris?”
Although the lights in the room were on, Morris was nowhere to be found.
Zhou Yu was standing in the living room, calling Morris out. But, he still didn’t get any answer.
The TV in the living room was still on, with the latest news on it.
“The once-in-five-year religious painting contest is about to begin!”
“Anyone can participate! You can join if you want to make your gods get more believers! Or if you are very devoted enough to your religion!”
“… Join us! The address is …”
Zhou Yu was attracted by the news. In a moment, he immediately thought of a better idea —— about how to get the Holy Sect to hell.
Ring ——
Morris, who originally wanted to see his friend’s panic-stricken face, finally showed himself unwillingly and sighed on Zhou Yu’s shoulder.
Morris looked at his friend’s fair and small earlobe redden. He obsessively looked at the earlobe, slowly getting closer. In the end, he couldn’t help licking it.
! ! !
Zhou Yu, who was still thinking about the countermeasures, instantly got goosebumps, “Morris! What are you doing?!”
Morris came back to his senses and immediately stood upright when he heard his friend’s angry shout.
Looking at Morris who had a sullen expression, Zhou Yu also started to have headaches and wondered what to say.
Recently, Morris has been doing more and more pranks.
In fact, Zhou Yu knew that Morris felt lonely because he (ZY) couldn’t be with him during the day, so Morris used various methods to attract his attention —— but, the problem was these methods were equal to seduction, especially for Zhou Yu who liked Morris.
Feeling helpless, Zhou Yu reached out and stroked Morris’ aggrieved face. Zhou Yu let Morris’ blue eyes look directly at him and asked as gently as possible, “Morris, it’s okay, there’s no problem… I just want to ask you about Karina…”
Zhou Yu just wanted to know if it was Morris who had done it. He never meant to blame him.
However, Morris indeed needed to change his approach a little which was also somewhat related to Zhou Yu’s next plan.
“Do you like that woman?” Morris laid his scarred hand on Zhou Yu’s fair one, his eyes darkened.
That woman’s confession this morning had made him furious.
Even if his friend refused her firmly, she still made Morris feel a sense of panic about losing his friend, so he let her have a nightmare. The reason why she fell down was simple because she accidentally got pushed by coquetting students.
Looking at his friend in front of him, Morris felt his heart hurt.
Shouldn’t they belong to each other forever?
Why add that strange woman?
Morris could not imagine what would happen if Zhou Yu fell in love with a girl. Maybe he (M) would become crazy.
Morris simply wanted to get rid of them —— all the third wheels that dared get in the way.
Although his common sense told him that Zhou Yu wouldn’t fall for a female, there was a wave of inexplicable anger in his heart that made him restless.
Was there a way to stop Zhou Yu from falling in love with others?
If you have to fall in love with someone… Why could it not be me?
As soon as this shocking idea appeared in Morris’ mind, it quickly grew from a seed into a towering tree.
Yeah, of course, there was a relationship that was closer than a friend —— a lover.

[2]: “结果现在就出了篓子”, in literal this is translated as the result now, it is all out of the basket. This is also a metaphor, which means making a mess or screwing up something, not throwing things out of a basket.
