Chapter 42: West Private High School

Mu Miao hurriedly leaned over the windowsill, sticking his head out to look down. On the lawn below lay two shattered bodies—Pei Qingye and Jiang Qianliu. Blood pooled beneath them, and there was no trace of life left.

"What happened?"

Mu Miao turned around in astonishment. He had only been out for a few minutes, so how had the two of them ended up dead?

Fu Wenyang glanced at Bai Jialin, whose face was bruised and swollen, and said, "He got into an argument with Pei Qingye, and then Jiang Qianliu suddenly dragged Pei Qingye and jumped out of the window with him."

---

A few minutes earlier.

After enduring a torturous class, Bai Jialin's fingers twisted nervously together. When Pei Qingye walked past him, Bai Jialin suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

Pei Qingye tried to shake him off. "What do you want now? Don't tell me it's about ghosts again. You really should get your head checked at a hospital."

Bai Jialin's nails dug into Pei Qingye's arm. He spoke hurriedly, "It's Pei Nuo! It's him! He's come to take revenge on me..."

The pain in his arm caused Pei Qingye to frown, but Bai Jialin's sudden words filled him with a sense of foreboding.

Pei Qingye clamped down on Bai Jialin's hand and grabbed him by the throat with his other hand. Breathing heavily, he demanded, "What do you mean?!"

Bai Jialin, on the verge of total mental collapse, burst into maniacal laughter. But the grip on his throat made it hard for him to breathe, and he coughed violently. "That bastard! Why couldn't he just stay dead and behave in the afterlife? If I'd known, I would've stabbed him a few more times—hahaha—why isn't he gone yet?"

Pei Qingye's mind went blank. A ringing filled his ears, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably. His eyes turned bloodshot. "It was you... You killed Pei Nuo... You killed my brother..."

"He was just a lowly commoner!" Bai Jialin screamed hysterically, his eyes filled with disdain and scorn for Pei Nuo.

"A mere commoner! Just because he looked decent, he thought he had a say. I was doing him a favor by showing interest in him, and he dared to refuse me? Who does he think he is?!"

From childhood, Bai Jialin had never been denied anything he wanted.

One day, he took notice of Pei Nuo, who always trailed behind Pei Qingye. Pei Nuo's status wasn't a secret in their circle, and everyone felt free to mock him as they pleased.

But Bai Jialin had been unexpectedly captivated by the face hidden beneath Pei Nuo's long hair—a face more beautiful than any boy or girl he had ever played with.

He cornered Pei Nuo in an alley while he was waiting to meet Pei Qingye and unilaterally proposed they sleep together. Terrified, Pei Nuo naturally refused.

That day, Bai Jialin had been drinking. Alcohol, mixed with his violent temper, flared into anger. He began beating and kicking Pei Nuo, who could only curl up on the ground, tightly cradling the kitten in his arms.

No matter how much Bai Jialin hit or cursed him, Pei Nuo endured in silence—until Bai Jialin stomped the kitten to death. Only then did Pei Nuo let out a heart-wrenching cry, struggling to rescue the kitten from Bai Jialin's feet.

Pei Nuo's stubbornness infuriated Bai Jialin. He pulled out a folding knife he carried with him, pinned Pei Nuo to the ground, and stabbed him repeatedly in the chest, blood spraying everywhere.

The thrill of murder stimulated Bai Jialin's brain. He only stopped when Pei Nuo finally stopped breathing, leaving the knife in his chest before walking away.
