Feign Compliance

Rae Bennett gave herself a birthday gift at her coming-of-age ceremony—a golden cage. Then she put the boy she loved into the cage. Friends said: We, girls, need to be gentle. So she painted the cage a powdery pink and studded it with glittering diamonds. He asked, "Why?" "Because I love you." She will do whatever it takes to make him hers, even if it means breaking him. What kind of person is Rae Bennett? Everyone would reply: She's a sunny girl who loves to laugh and brings warmth to the world. Wyatt Wright said: She's the moon on Halloween, capable of taking lives. Alternate title of the book: How the Scheming Little Witch Pretends to be Good (PS: The male protagonist is not weak. This is a sweet and healing story)

463: The True Cause of Ninth Master's Death_1

After the funeral, Wyatt Wright sent Cole Rodriguez and the others back, but he planned to stay until the soul returning day had passed. Rae Bennett stayed to keep him company, living in Grandma Spencer's old house.

The temperature outside was very high.

Dogs barked, cicadas sang, chickens and ducks chattered away, and village children returned from fishing, stepping on the joss paper scattered during the funeral procession as they ran past the single-story bungalows.

There was no air conditioning in the bungalow, and the old electric fan swayed violently when it turned, making a creaking sound. The weather was so hot that even the wind carried the heat with it.

Under the fan, there was a rocking chair on which Wyatt lay, his eyes closed.
