It was already 00:30 am, but I couldn't fall asleep. The sound insulation effect of this room was too poor and I could hear the heavy breathing of the man next door. I used to like it, but now I only found it harsh.

After a few minutes, there came the sound of tissues being pulled out, followed by the laughter of a man and a woman. I felt so numb and upset.

The man living next door was my ex-boyfriend Adam Herring, and he was laughing with his current girlfriend Lara Anderson.

I was still living in this small two-bedroom apartment because I had just broken up with him two weeks ago.

I walked out of my bedroom, went to the cold corridor, and smoked.

I took a long drag on my cigarette and I instantly found it hard to breathe. It made me shed tears.

I snuffed out the cigarette and waited for about 15 minutes before I got up and returned to my bedroom.

Lying on the bed, I was thinking that this was probably his parting gift to me.

I thought I

    6Dr. Anderson did not drive me to the subway station but directly took me downstairs to my apartment.I pretended to be unaware of it and accepted his kindness.He remembered my address. I found it interesting.When the car stopped, it was getting dark.It was good that it was getting dark. It was time to vent one's desires that had been suppressed during the day."Dr. Anderson, I'm so sorry to have kept you so long today. Are you hungry? Would you like to go upstairs and have dinner?" I sounded sincere and grateful.Inviting a strange man to go home at night implied a romantic interest.Dr. Anderson was a normal man. If he had no such interest, he would immediately reject me.If…He stared at me with deep eyes. In the darkness, his nose was straight, and he had a perfect jawline.He was way more handsome than Adam. Vanity told me that if I hooked up with him, Adam would be greatly humiliated.He thought for a while, perhaps weighing. In the end, he turned and pulled out t

    11Near midnight, Dr. Anderson finally called."What's wrong?" He sounded a little anxious, a little panting. "I'm sorry. I forgot my phone at my parent's house.""It's okay." I was calm. "Good night."Before he said anything else, I hung up the phone. He had forgotten his phone at his parents' house? What a lousy excuse.The moment had passed and I no longer needed his concern.I couldn't fall asleep. When I turned on my phone, I saw a new message."I am downstairs at your apartment. If you haven't fallen asleep, let me take a look at you, so I can rest assured."It was Dr. Anderson.I was shocked.I got out of bed and walk to the window. I saw a man sitting on the edge of the flower bed under the dim street lights. He wasn't playing with his phone, but looking in the direction of my apartment.At that moment, perhaps no one had cared about me for so long that I suddenly felt moved and tempted by Dr. Anderson.I put on my pajamas and slippers and walked out like this.Whe

    14Every time we quarreled, I would feel sad.But when I picked up my phone, I didn't know who I should talk to.In the end, I could only pick up my tablet and watch a hilarious variety show until I burst into tears.I devoted myself to the show wholeheartedly, and I wanted to talk to no one.Even when I received Sean's message, I didn't intend to reply to it after reading it.Later, when he sent another message, I didn't even bother to read it.I didn't know how I fell asleep. It was already midnight when I woke up. I was hungry and uncomfortable. I remembered that I hadn't had lunch or dinner.I got up, went to the refrigerator, and found some fruits and milk. I didn't turn on the lights. I squatted alone in the kitchen and ate slowly.After eating, I felt better, but couldn't fall asleep anymore. I started to read the messages sent by Sean."Have you woken up? Do you want me to pick you up at noon?""Or if you can't get up, I will bring lunch for you. What do you want to

    18"It's me." After a long while, Sean finally said, "I met her several years ago, but I only had the chance to talk to her for the first time last month."After he said that, everyone was shocked, including me.They waited for him to go on."Four years ago, when I was in graduate school, I went to her school to participate in a debate competition, and she was the best debater." He sighed, waiting for others' ridicule.I was shocked.If he didn't mention this, I would have forgotten that I had such an experience."Haha, Dr. Anderson, did you go to the debate competition or see beautiful girls? How can you have remembered her for so long?""Yeah, you still remember what happened several years ago. How long have you wanted her?""Linda, do you remember Dr. Anderson?"They suddenly turned to me, and I couldn't think anymore."I don't," I whispered.Then they laughed again.I didn't remember him. At that time, I had been crazy in love with Adam. How could I pay attention to ot

    24"Linda, why are you so vicious?" He rushed in and kicked the gifts sent by Sean at the door everywhere.I didn't want to deal with him. I turned around and continued to cry."How can you... be so revengeful? When I date Lara, did you sleep with her brother? You're terrible. Do you know what you look like now?" He was so angry that he was trembling."What?" I asked slowly."A vicious woman! When you go down, you bring others down with you. I'm so glad that I broke up with you. If we get married and then divorced, would you ruin my whole family?"I laughed.When I laughed, tears fell even more."Do you know that I have met with her parents? We're getting married. Her parents will give us a two-bedroom apartment to live in. Look at what you've done. Now it's all gone. Are you satisfied?"He roared and pulled my quilt.Seeing my messy clothes, he suddenly said, "You're such a horny slut."I was so heartbroken that I trembled and felt hopeless."Get out!" I pulled the quilt,

    Author: Xian De Wu Liao De Xian Nü When I was drunk, I went to see my ex-boyfriend and tried to get back with him. But when I woke up, I found his uncle lying beside me.1"You... you're sleeping on my hair." My voice was shaking.The man opened his eyes slightly, withdrew his arm under my head, and said in a hoarse voice, "Aren't you going to wait for him?"My heart skipped a beat.He was probably drunker than me.In this case, if I kept waiting for him, wouldn't I be a fool?"No." I was about to escape."Can you get me some water?" His voice was deep.I froze and didn't know how to refuse. I could only nod. I went to the kitchen awkwardly, poured a glass of water, and handed it to him.His face was pale, and I felt that he would get sick the next second. Out of safety considerations, I asked, "Are... you okay?"He took a sip of the water and sighed, "I guess I'm too old for a young girl."I froze.I felt guilty, so I had to escape.I Slept With My Ex-boyfriend's Unc

    6"He dumped you?" As soon as we got in the car, he asked me.My heart skipped a beat."So you could see it." I smiled bitterly. Justin took the girl home for breakfast and ignored me. Everyone could see it.He looked at me for a few seconds, and said lightly, "You told me last night."Well... I forgot about it.I was totally drunk when I arrived at his house last night. I just remembered that Spencer had asked me what was going on, and then I told him everything.But I hadn't expected that when I was talking, I put him on the bed.I opened the wine bottle. I had pestered him. I had made a mistake."Last night, we..." I had to deal with it, though it was difficult for me to talk about it."Well." He flipped through various documents on the tablet and seemed to be accustomed to it. "What are you going to do with me?"I was stunned. Why was he asking me what I was going to do with him?"Do you... need some mental damage compensation?" I asked tentatively.It was my first tim

    10Back in the dorm, I put the bag on the table casually. Sitting in my chair, I still felt very angry.When my roommate came back, she touched my bag with interest, and said in surprise, "Yasmine, do you have a new boyfriend?""What?" I glanced at her, uninterested."This bag was not given by your boyfriend?""What bag?""Hermes's latest card bag.""Hermes?"My other roommates were attracted. They all came over, picked up their phones, and started checking the price online."Four thousand dollars.""So expensive.""Yasmine, your boyfriend is from a rich family?"I was stunned.I glanced at the orange card bag in their hands. What? It was my Student ID!I picked it up and took a look. There was indeed a Student ID in the card bag, which was mine.After thinking about it for a long time, I was still confused. So I decided to ask Spencer.I did not answer the strange questions of my roommates. I put away the card and bag and went to the balcony with my phone.I called hi

    21As soon as I walked to the stairs, I met Charley, who was holding two cups of coffee.What a coincidence!"Joy." As soon as I turned around, he stopped me."Hi." I had to stop and say hello to him.He walked upstairs, trying to hide the coffee in his hand.The coffee should be for Jane Lynch.Thinking of that, I was amused.I used to buy coffee for him."Aren't you going to study at the library? Why did you leave?" he asked in a tone as gentle as ever.I lowered my head in embarrassment and said, "Well, I have something to do. I gotta go now.""Okay." He stepped aside to make way for me."Goodbye," I said and walked downstairs without looking back.When I was about to turn the corner, a voice suddenly came from behind me. "Are we... still best friends?"I stood rooted to the spot.I had mixed feelings."..." I didn't reply and left directly.Were we still best friends?I was just having a lot of thoughts.In the past three years, I had been hanging out with Charle

    17When I grew more and more nervous, I finally arrived at college.I got out of the cab and watched him walk over. I became even more nervous.Would he kiss me again?Would he be upset if I reject him?I was completely new to that, while he was too overwhelming. I was scared when I thought of the coming kiss.But I was his girlfriend. I couldn't say no to his request, could I?After thinking for a while, when he was approaching, I was so scared that I closed my eyes.I waited for a few seconds, but the thing didn't turn out to be as I had imagined it. I slightly opened my eyes.I looked up and saw him looking at me playfully."Were you thinking about it in the cab?" he asked me with a smile."Huh? No." I quickly returned to normal."Then, excuse me..." He pointed to the road nearby.Huh???So, was I in his way?I had thought that he was going to kiss me, but...It was such an embarrassing situation for me."Okay." I quickly stepped aside to make way for him.He put h

    14"Enough?" I didn't come back to my senses until I heard his sexy voice."Enough." I swallowed hard."Liar..." He stared at me, then lowered his head and kissed me.Help!My nerves, which had just relaxed, were on edge again in an instant.After a few seconds, he finally let go of me.He stared at me, then looked down, unzipped my bag, groped for my cotton pad for few seconds, took it out, and wiped his lips himself.After wiping, he stuffed it into my hand and turned to leave.Did he heave?Bad boy.My heart was still beating fast.The place was already buzzing with people. I didn't dare to look around."Are you not leaving?" He walked a few steps and found that I didn't keep up with him. He turned to look at me helplessly.He probably thought that I was a troublemaker."Yes." If I didn't leave now, there would be more people watching me.I hurried along after him.He didn't hold my hand, nor did he especially wait for me. Instead, he walked side by side with his bu

    11After that, my hands had been trembling while playing poker. His words kept echoing in my mind: "Can I eat you?"After two more games, I could barely keep my eyes open.After losing all my chips, I stretched lazily as if I had accomplished something important."Can... can we stop here?" I asked in a low voice."Keep going.""I'm sleepy."Looking at them in high spirits, I was speechless."Sleepy?" A boy looked at me and then at Julian. He was about to say something but swallowed the words."Okay, okay..."The boys immediately understood and stood up.Huh???They must get the wrong idea."No... you get the wrong idea.""We see, we see..."I felt so depressed and helpless.I looked back and found Julian still as calm as ever. He was not going to make it clear at all."So, get lost now!""Okay, okay, okay. You're really hoes before bros, huh?" The boys had rushed out before they could take their coats."When will you pay us?" one of the boys asked desperately."When

    7Five minutes later, I walked out of the room with Julian, clutching a blood-stained T-shirt. Seeing that, his friends were all stunned.But the next second, they looked at each other and smiled."Julian, you... come on too strong, don't you?""Yeah, too short to change clothes.""Spend less time on basketball. That will wear you out...."...I stood there awkwardly."Get lost. Cut the crap." Julian hit them with the basketball.He was so aggressive that I was too scared to make a sound.When he was leaving, I remembered the reason why I came here.I hurried up to him. "Julian."The gang of people stopped. Julian did not even turn his head as he impatiently asked, "What's the matter?""Yesterday, I... You... It was just a misunderstanding. I'm sorry that you broke up with your girlfriend..." I recited the draft of my apology.Before I finished reciting it, he turned his head slightly and said, "Broke up? With who?""I don't know. Maybe the one you met in the bar?" One o

    23As soon as I went out, I was stunned.There was a Rolls-Royce parked at the door. I saw the car's plate number. If I remember correctly, it belonged to my father, Giovanni.Ten minutes later, Samuel invited Giovanni to the back room and gave him a cup of coffee.Giovanni sat opposite me and whispered, "Soph, come here."I looked at Samuel, who was staring at me and didn't want me to go there.I had no choice but to sit still.Giovanni didn't panic, as if he had expected it. He waved his hand and the bodyguard behind him took out a suitcase and put it on the table.Then, Giovanni reached out and pushed the suitcase over."Here's 1.5 million dollars. Now give me my daughter back."Samuel didn't say anything. He glanced at me, took the suitcase, opened it, and glanced at it."There's no need to talk about money," Samuel said in a soft tone."What? Is it not enough? Don't go too far!" Giovanni got angry all of a sudden."Dad..." I whispered to my father."Soph, you don't h

    21In the days that followed, I lived a full and purposeful life.It seemed that I suddenly found the path that I would be going in life. I must enter a university and become a better person, then I could ask him if we could be together.However, my foundation was very bad.I worked very hard to get into university.I didn't even have time to think about whether I was stupid or suitable for academics.I completely drowned myself in practice questions.Every night, my mind was full of test questions, and I didn't even have time to think about Samuel.At first, I went home once a week. Near the end of the university entrance exam, Samuel thought that it would be too tiring for me to come back and forth and too much time would be wasted. Hence, he came to the county to visit me every week.Sometimes he brought Fatso and the others, and sometimes he was alone.He always said that he would pass by my school to do some errands, so he stopped by along the way to visit me.I wondere

    19When I went back at night, I was surprised to see that Samuel had learned how to cook.In the past, he would either order a takeaway or heat a dollar-slice frozen pizza. It was his subordinates who sometimes cooked nice meals.He made my favorite food, which was meatloaf and fried chicken."Mr. Carter, when did you learn to cook?""It's not that difficult.""If it's easy, then why haven't you learned it in the past 31 years?""It's not that I didn't learn it. It was unnecessary.""Is it necessary now?" I asked him with a smile.He looked at me and said, "Hmm... It doesn't seem necessary."I hugged him from behind and said, "Of course it's necessary. You made all my favorite food, so that means you've waited for me to come back to eat."He grabbed a fork and pointed it at me. "Let go of me. Who said that they were for you?"I held his waist. "No, I won't. My heart told me.""If you don't let me go, believe me or not, I'll—""Will you hit me?" I looked at him with a smil
