Chasing You Like a Tenacious Falcon

Wei Shixu has been very anxious lately about Quan Zhisui. After learning that the feng shui algorithm was a form of cheating, he grew even more anxious and has been guarding her closely, never leaving her side.

He hasn't allowed her to get involved in venture capital either. The few operations against Yan Guanghua didn't involve her this time.

He always says, "That enemy is too strong."

Across the city, Wei Shixu is Quan Zhisui's only source of information. She can't find out the details herself, so she focuses on dealing with Zuo Zhiyu, constantly setting traps for him.

Quan Zhisui feels a sense of confusion and helplessness.

As the college entrance exam approaches, she also feels some fatigue.

May Day arrives, the last holiday before the exam.

She pulls out a small suitcase and packs some clothes and socks.

Knock knock——

This is the third time Wei Shixu has come to knock on the door today.

Quan Zhisui: "Come in."

Wei Shixu opens the door and sees her packing her suitcase, frowning as he asks, "Where are you going?"

Quan Zhisui: "I'm going back to Yunyang for the holiday."

Wei Shixu nods and takes out his phone: "Alright, I'll pack up too. Since I didn't apply for the flight route in advance, it'll take a day."

Quan Zhisui stops and looks at him: "Wei Shixu, I want to go back alone, by high-speed train."

Wei Shixu looks up: "Why? You don't want to take me?"

Quan Zhisui frowns and says, "You've got it backward. I always feel like it's not me bringing you along, but you bringing me."

Wei Shixu: "What's the difference?"

Quan Zhisui: "There is a difference. Anyway, just let me go back alone this time. I want to talk to my master, go to the mountain to pay my respects, and take a walk in the mountains by myself."

She is so tired, this city wears her out.

Hatred, hostility, malice.

After leaving the mountains, she has seen countless dark sides.

In just two years, her mindset has undergone a dramatic change.

Endless homework, never-ending difficult problems, the overwhelming amount of information in the city, and the deceitful nature of human relationships.

Each of these is about to crush her!

She is just a little monkey from the mountains. She isn't that smart, her ability to process information is slow, and she has to run nonstop.

Behind her, it's like a flood of beasts, furiously chasing and biting, making her soul exhausted!

Wei Shixu strides in, grabs her hand forcefully: "Quan Zhisui, take me with you."

Quan Zhisui: "..."

Wei Shixu thinks for a moment and says, "In Liangxi Town, you can leave whenever you want, but once you leave Liangxi, no."

Quan Zhisui frowns again, feeling something strange.

Wei Shixu emphasizes again: "You must go to Yunyang with me."

Quan Zhisui looks at him: "Wei Shixu, I'm not your dog, I don't need a leash to go out."

Wei Shixu's expression changes: "Don't say it like that."

Quan Zhisui pulls her hand away: "You're making me suffocate. Do I have no freedom?"

"Suffocate?!" Wei Shixu is shocked. He looks at his fingers that she easily pried away, "I've waited for two years to do what I want, and I've never forced you. You have to push me to that point?"

Quan Zhisui takes a step back, looking at him in surprise.

Wei Shixu lifts his black T-shirt with one hand and pulls it off, tossing it onto the sofa beside him.

He reveals his finely sculpted upper body, fair skin, attractive collarbones, and well-defined abdominal muscles that look like they were carved by a sculptor.

His arms are toned and powerful, on par with those of a trained fighter.

Now Quan Zhisui understands why he was subjected to those things at ten years old. His body is truly a work of art.

The golden-red ghost money charm hanging at his chest is glaring.

But his eyes are like those of a wolf hunting its prey, revealing cruelty and coldness.

Quan Zhisui isn't afraid, only coldly orders: "Put it back on."

Wei Shixu grips her wrist again forcefully: "Quan Zhisui!"

Quan Zhisui glances at her wrist and asks, "Wei Shixu, so I'm the prey, and Liangxi Town is the cage you arranged for me?"

Wei Shixu's pupils shrink.

Quan Zhisui pries his hand off again, this time forcefully.

She says, "I've had this strange feeling before, and now I finally understand where it's coming from. I came to Liangxi Town and ended up at the Zuo Family's house."

"At first, the Zuo Family's house was my cage. I managed to escape, only to move into the Wei Family's house."

"I thought the Wei Family's house was my cage, but now I realize it's not."

"This cage is the entire Liangxi Town."

"Your domain."

With that, she raises her head, her gaze distant and aloof: "Right? A luxurious and massive cage."

Wei Shixu pauses and after a long while asks, "You really want to go alone?"

Quan Zhisui takes a deep breath and nods: "I really, really want to be alone for a while."

Wei Shixu grits his teeth, puts his clothes back on, and walks out, slamming the door shut.

Just before the door closes, he says, "I won't let you. Stay here and 'calm down.'"

Quan Zhisui stares at the locked door, at the empty yet luxurious room.

After glancing around, she looks at the window next to her.

It's useless, the cage isn't this house, it's the city.

It's the web Wei Shixu has woven throughout Liangxi Town!

He lacks love, but she doesn't.

He craves her love desperately, his possessiveness bordering on pathological.

Quan Zhisui thinks for a moment, puts her clothes back in the suitcase, and arranges them in the wardrobe.

She sits down and starts working on her practice problems.

But as she does, big tears drop onto the test paper.

She isn't short of money, but she's lost her freedom.

She really wants to go home...

Outside the corridor.

Wei Shixu leans against the door, his eyes red as he lowers his head and slowly sits down on the floor.

Why won't she take him with her?

Am I a dog? To be leashed, is that so wrong?

-----------------

This May Day was spent at the Wei Family's house.

Quan Zhisui didn't go back to Yunyang, nor did she go fishing. She stayed in her room, not even coming out for meals, which were delivered by an employee.

Wei Shixu, as usual, spoke sweet words to her, liked to hold her hand, and often came to see her, giving her all sorts of little gifts.

He no longer locked the door, and except for leaving Liangxi Town, he granted her everything she asked for.

But something was quietly changing.

A rift grew between her and Wei Shixu.

The college entrance exam was approaching.

Zuo Zhiyu began to lose money, big losses!

Yan Guanghua eventually invested as well, losing together.

With the financial hole, Wei's company took advantage and expanded the Yan Family's hole even further!

The mess couldn't be contained anymore, turning into a bottomless pit...

Quan Zhisui threw a timed bomb and then stopped paying attention, focusing on preparing for the exam.

She didn't argue with Wei Shixu anymore. Occasionally, she responded to his kindness, but she looked at him with eyes he couldn't understand.

"What are you looking at?" Wei Shixu asked, "Many times, it's like you're looking through me at something else."

Quan Zhisui touches his handsome face: "I'm looking at your soul."

Wei Shixu holds her hand and presses it to his face, not letting go: "What color is my soul?"

Quan Zhisui: "Black."

Wei Shixu asks, "What color soul do you like?"
