"You already know about Duo La's true nature long ago?" There were only two people on the roof—Ke Bu and Zhi Li. Zhi Li held a band-aid and applied it on the wound on Ke Bu's face. The wound was quite shallow and would heal in two days.

"I've roughly guessed it."

"If you've guessed it, then why did you let Youyan..."

"It's not a bad thing to let them compete with one another. However, Youyan's temper was still too lacking. At first, I thought she could teach Duo La a lesson."

"Who do you think will suffer from it? You clearly know that Duo La's so dangerous."

"I've already asked someone to eliminate the real danger."

"What do you mean?"

"You don't need to know."

"Anyhow, you're unexpectedly kind-hearted, too. It's obvious that Duo La wanted you to bear the guilt for her but unlike anyone, you pretended not to know about it. You do that with others, too. No matter if it's Youyan or Ying Xiujie, their badness is all tolerated by you. Do you want to be judged as a triple-A student?" Ke Bu ridiculed.

"Tolerated?" Zhi Li showed a meaningful  expression that made Ke Bu's hair on his nape stand on end. "Isn't that the real fun part of darkness?"

"Are you a demon reincarnate? Even though I don't think Duo La will change, she was exposed in front of you, so she wouldn't mess things around and play those tricks, right?"

"That child can still be taught."

"Taught? Duo La's dark heart can still be saved?"

"Those who like me proved that they still have a noble sentiment." Zhi Li actually said these words as a matter of course which made Ke Bu vomit blood: "This is the most shameless sentence I've ever heard in my life!!!" After Ke Bu roared, he felt that all of his energy was used up. He leaned against the wall, then slipped down, and sat. He reached out and tugged on the corner of Zhi Li's pants. He patted the spot next to him. Zhi Li then sat down and leaned his head against the wall.

"This is what you always do. Let me face my own fears. If you'll put a stop on it in the beginning, then I'll only feel like I'm a useless waste. Even though I usually don't care about things that doesn't concern me, I always say this to myself. This is fine, but I still can't help but have the idea that I can narrow the gap between us, even only for a little bit so that I can match with you a little bit more. It seems that after your training, I gradually become stronger. I'm no longer the junior high school student who dared not to face the facts and will only throw myself in your arms and cry."

"Then thank me properly." Zhi Li accepted it too calmly.

"You're definitely not the kind of person who'll do these kind of things out of kindness. You should say your purpose, Zhi Li." Zhi Li had not even spoken yet when Ke Bu added: "Don't just say this 'because you love me' nonsense." Zhi Li faintly smiled and placed his hand on his knee, waving his finger in the thin air. "Of course, the result of the training will remain until you confess about us to your parents."

Surprised, Ke Bu's mouth was agape. He adjusted his position so he could face Zhi Li, then he shouted in disapproval: "You schemer. You even think about things that's so far away! On top of that, who...who will confess to them!? Stop dreaming. I...I'm just playing with you."
