Shen Ruzhi has recently started to feel that something is wrong with the world.
For example, monsters flashing past on the street, classmates suddenly losing their facial features, and blood gushing out of manhole covers...
For a while, she wondered if she had developed a mental illness.
But those things were secondary. What chilled her to the bone most was this:
She felt like someone was watching her.
At school, on the street, at the mall, and even at home.
That prying gaze was everywhere.
In the end, before going to bed, she simply left a note on the living room table:
[Hello. Could you please stop staring at me?]
The next day, the hand holding the note trembled slightly.
It said: [Nope~]
Angry, she impulsively added another line:
[If you've got the guts, come out where I can see you!]
That night, when she woke in the middle of the night, she found someone standing right beside her bed, holding a fruit knife.
Moonlight poured through the window, illuminating the young man's blood-soaked appearance, as though he were a murderer, and the blood still dripping from the knife in his hand. She saw it all clearly.
In that instant, Shen Ruzhi's breath caught. She even thought of her last words.
Then an amused, teasing voice came from above her:
"Surprise!"
"As you wish, I'm out~"
Shen Ruzhi: ...
She wanted to strangle her past self for writing that note.
When she found out she had somehow become bound to this man, she suddenly felt that her future was bleak.
The young man just grinned beside her. "Don't be so down, darling~ I've already tried several ways to almost kill you over the last few days. I feel like I'm about to figure out how to do it!"
Shen Ruzhi: ...
Help, help, help!
Later, she discovered that there was more than one lunatic in this world.
After being betrayed countless times, she shed crocodile tears:
I just want to stay alive! Why is that so hard, aaaaah!
Everyone else: You're talking as if you haven't betrayed anyone yourself!!!
Ji Ming: Darling just wants to stay alive~ What's wrong with that?
Everyone else: Compared to us, aren't you the biggest danger to her?!
Ji Ming: ^_^
Bonus Scene:
"Hm? You... brought me flowers?" Shen Ruzhi looked at the young man holding out the flowers, her face full of suspicion.
The young man smiled and waved the bouquet in his hand. "Darling, don't you think our relationship is a lot like these black datura flowers?"
Black datura flowers: Endless love and revenge, the despair and loneliness of a road with no way back.
