Late at night, Du Ruoying and William were walking back to the apartment.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled the water surface of Qinxue Lake and shrouded the flowers along the way.It was June in midsummer at this time, and it was also the time when the roses of Beiyu University were in full bloom. The entire shrub was dotted with dots of rose red and milky white flowers, and under the reflection of the moonlight, it was almost weirdly coquettish.

"Ah, such a naive script, I never thought that you, a nobleman, would condescend to participate in it, and play it quite seriously." Du Ruoying complained.

"Maybe it's because it can bring back some interesting memories." William replied pretending to be relaxed.

He failed to say, in fact, more because of a premonition.But this premonition is too vague, too vague to express.This premonition made him realize that instead of watching from a distance in the auditorium, it is better to go directly to the stage and keep the closest distance to her, which is more convenient for protection.

Even so, compared to killing people, protecting people is not his specialty after all——

It seemed that it was time to involve the knight who belonged to her.

Back at the apartment, Du Ruoying fell down on the couch tiredly, staring quietly at the ceiling in a daze.William sat on the single sofa on the side of the balcony.Standing beside him is a black Bauhaus-style floor lamp. The warm yellow light sets off the old and textured pages of the book in his hand.

After a while, she sat up again: "By the way, I have a final exam the day after tomorrow."

"Oh, so?"

"So I want to stay up late these two days to prepare for the exam."

"Does this have anything to do with me?" William closed the book and looked at her with a little teasing in his eyes, "Or do you want me to help you with tutoring?"

"... What kind of tutoring, can you still help me recite our country's building fire codes?" Du Ruoying sighed speechlessly.

"It's hard to say," he gently rested his chin with the corner of the book unhurriedly, "the last time I checked the information on the arson case, I flipped through it a little bit, maybe—now I have a better grasp than you oh."

This guy is quite arrogant...

So, she asked casually suspiciously: "Then let me test you, the width of the evacuation aisle in the auditorium of the theater is not less than how many meters per 100 people?"

"0.6 meters, and the total width should not be less than 1 meter."

Actually...the answer is correct...

Mom, is this person in front of you a monster? ! !

"Okay, you won," Du Ruoying sighed in shock, "No, no, that's not the point! That's not what I want to talk about, so don't get off topic, hey!"

"It's Will, not hello."

"...It's not important! What's important is that I can't sleep all night like this anymore. If I don't review, I will really fail." As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes again.

"Oh, do you want to do the same trick again, classmate Xiaoying?" He smiled, "If your only weapon is tears, then you will not be able to cope with what will happen next."

Seeing that this trick was no longer effective, Du Ruoying couldn't help but pouted in frustration: "So you just decided not to talk about where you put the medicine."

"What medicine, I don't understand what you're talking about." William shifted his gaze back to the page, "Don't think so much, if you really want me to say it, I think it's better to get enough sleep before the exam. It's more important than anything else. It's not advisable to cram, Xiaoying."

"...Hmph, even if you don't tell me, I will definitely figure it out tonight!" She stood up angrily, "If there is nothing else, I'll take a shower!"

"Please."

As the moonlight gradually moved west until it completely disappeared at the edge of the city skyline, the clock in the living room finally pointed to two o'clock in the morning.

William pushed open the door of Du Ruoying's bedroom slightly. With the light still on, he saw her messy bedroom: she had moved all the clothes from the closet to the floor, and all the drawers and bookcases The messy traces that have been turned over.And she herself was reclining by the bed, snoring motionlessly, and seemed to have fallen asleep.There was a half-open cosmetic box in her arms, and the bottles and jars that were supposed to be in the box were scattered at her feet in an orderly manner.

She is really a girl who refuses to admit defeat...

William shook his head helplessly, removed the makeup box she was holding, put her back on the bed, and covered her with a thin blanket.After finishing these, he turned and left.

However, as soon as he closed the door for no more than two seconds, he suddenly opened the door and folded back, returning to her bedside.

He silently looked at her suspicious sleeping face.

Still in that sideways posture, the long hair scattered on the pillow is the same as before, accompanied by a calm breathing rhythm, and the eyelashes tremble slightly from time to time.

There doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary.

For the sake of caution, he further extended his hand to the side of her neck.I felt her pulsation with my fingertips, it was very soothing, and my heart rate would not exceed 60, it seemed that I was really asleep.

After making these confirmations, William went out to Bai Qirun's apartment.

"Can you check the monitoring of the bus?" William asked.

"Okay, which trip do you want to check?" Bai Qirun said.

William handed him a note with a string of license plate numbers written on it: "This time, I want to see its monitoring from 12:1 noon to [-]:[-] p.m. yesterday."

"Well, I found it. Then?" Bai Qirun clicked on a video and said.

"These two thieves, and these two old people, help me find out their origins." William pointed to the screen and said, "If I'm not wrong, these four people should be related. I hope I'm wrong Otherwise, it means that classmate Xiaoying and I may have been targeted."

"Okay, I'll give you the results tomorrow night." Bai Qirun said, "Is there anything else?"

"Yeah, there's one last question," William said, choking Bai Qirun on the gaming chair.He grabbed the other person's throat with one hand, and put the other hand into his pocket, "The one who came to see me today seems to be the other one, right?"

Bai Qirun tried in vain to break the opponent's hand away, but the sudden lack of oxygen made him unable to use his strength at all: "What...the important thing is, I'm helping you anyway."

"Help me with errands? You really are a dishonest child." William glanced sideways at Bai Qirun's bedroom, and found that a mirror that had stood on the table had shattered, and sharp pieces fell all over the floor. "What, Got into a fight with another self?"

"That mode...sometimes it's not easy to control, so I want to use it less...ahem...what, you're going to kill me for it...?" Bai Qirun's voice gradually weakened.

"Oh? You don't know? This is really interesting. It seems that you don't share all the memories." William sneered and took out a pill and said, "In fact, another person in your body once entrusted me, Said that if he was restrained, let me come forward and help him."

"Could it be that..." Bai Qirun's pupils suddenly widened, "No, wait! Do you know what you're doing, ahem, that mode is very... easy to lose control, if you force it, even you will be hurt... ..."

"Don't bother you," William reached out and thrust the pill into Bai Qirun's mouth, "To be honest, I think he's much more loyal than you—"

"Stop!" The door was suddenly kicked open by Du Ruoying.Regardless of her poor state of being out of breath, she threw herself at William and knocked him away from Bai Qirun.

"Sure enough..." William stood up silently, and he didn't seem surprised by her appearance.

Bai Qirun, who regained his breath, immediately leaned over and coughed violently. Du Ruoying stepped forward to pat him on the back, while glaring at William angrily: "What are you doing? Are you going to kill him?"

"Then how could it be?" William smiled innocently, "Don't worry, student Xiaoying, I'm not stupid enough to attack people around you, it's not good to make our relationship stiff."

"Then what are you doing?" She nervously protected Bai Qirun and asked.

William glanced at Bai Qirun, who was still coughing with his head bowed, and found that the pill he stuffed earlier hadn't fallen out, so he said in relief: "Everything I did was entrusted to me by classmate Bai Qirun. If you don't believe me, just ask me." he."

"Huh?" Du Ruoying looked suspiciously at Bai Qirun, "Is that true?"

However, Bai Qirun didn't say a word.

Du Ruoying stared at William vigilantly for a moment, and then comforted Bai Qirun: "Qi Run, you don't have to be afraid of him, I will back you up. Tell me the truth, what happened just now?"

"The same..." Bai Qirun murmured.

"What?" Du Ruoying and William showed a confused look at the same time.

"I said," Bai Qirun raised his head and glared at Du Ruoying who was bewildered. At the same time, his thin palms suddenly held her shoulders tightly. The strength was so great that she couldn't help but frown in pain. Eyebrow, he shouted at her in an extremely sad and angry voice, "Why do you smell the same?"
