Song Xi nearly fainted from the pain. She wanted to scream, but Lou Yuming covered her mouth from behind, his voice devoid of lust whispering in her ear, "If you've got the guts, shout louder and bring everyone over!"
"...Shameless!"
...
After it was over, Song Xi was practically limp in Lou Yuming's arms, her kimono hanging precariously, revealing glimpses of her figure.
Her fair skin was now mottled with marks, startlingly like red plum blossoms.
Lou Yuming, however, was quite pleased with her leaning against him. Compared to a wildcat, a docile and obedient kitten was clearly more to his liking.
Song Xi could no longer speak, her eyes glaring at him resentfully. Yet, having just gone through an intimate encounter, they sparkled with a suggestive allure.
Lou Yuming's expression softened, a look of contentment on his face as his thumb wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
He thoughtfully tidied her clothes, not averting his gaze throughout. Afterward, he patted her cheek with mock seriousness, as if pacifying a child, "There, there, Uncle's energy is not up to par, maybe next time."
!?
Song Xi almost cursed him out loud.
Her phone suddenly rang. Lou Yuming glanced at the caller ID, then plugged her mouth with his finger. Song Xi, being close, heard a woman's voice – it was Anna.
Lou Yuming replied, "Be right back," and then released her, leaving without a backward glance, embodying the ruthless abandonment of a scumbag.
Song Xi was furious but dared not speak. After a while, she finally realized that Lou Yuming hadn't paid her!
What a cold-blooded, heartless capitalist, getting it for free! Bastard!
The days immediately turned to Monday. Song Xi returned to school as usual. She didn't pester Lou Yuming, and naturally, he didn't contact her either.
Everyone tacitly agreed to treat everything that happened yesterday as a breakup game.
Thankfully, Song Xi was open-minded, considering it as being bitten by a dog.
Upon entering the school, Song Xi noticed people staring at her. Normally, with the "Zhang Qi's girlfriend" label above her head, such attention was nothing new. But today, for some reason, the commotion was greater than usual, and she could faintly hear whispers about Zhang Qi wanting to break up with her.
? She, the person involved, didn't know about this?
The dismissal bell rang. Song Xi packed her books, ready for lunch, when Yi Xiaoling called out to her from behind.
"Song Xi, when did Zhang Qi break up with you?" Perhaps feeling her question was too direct, she hastily added, as if to cover her tracks, "I heard it from others."
Song Xi looked at her guilty reaction and immediately understood that the breakup rumors were related to her. So, she deliberately provoked her, "Zhang Qi treats me very well. The last time we went back, his grandmother even suggested we get engaged..."
"What!"
Yi Xiaoling immediately became agitated, grabbing Song Xi's hand, her voice distraught, "He's going to get engaged to you? When did this happen!"
Song Xi winced, her eyebrows furrowing in pain, "Let go."
Yi Xiaoling yanked her hand away as if venting, causing the canvas bag slung over Song Xi's wrist to fly off, scattering its contents on the ground.
She put on an innocent act, "Sorry, I didn't mean to."
Song Xi rolled her eyes and went to pick up her things.
Yi Xiaoling gritted her teeth in anger. Her gaze swept over, and she noticed the white medicine bottle Song Xi always carried. Song Xi claimed it was vitamins, but Yi Xiaoling had long been suspicious. Who took so many vitamins?
And... when she crouched down, there were obvious hickeys on her neck!
Didn't Zhang Qi disdain touching Song Xi! So where did the hickeys on her neck come from? Could it be that she had another man outside, and this so-called "vitamin" was...?
Yi Xiaoling, as if discovering a monumental scandal, hurried to inform Zhang Qi.
"Song Xi has someone else!"
