Xi Yue curved her lips slightly at Wang Jin, then went over to join Na Ru.
Fang Mo placed Xi Yue’s things on the windowsill, sensing a burning gaze fixed on him. Turning his head, he saw Wang Jin’s hostile stare.
He grinned, baring his teeth, “Xi Yue is very beautiful, right?”
Wang Jin’s gaze was full of contempt as he scrutinized him disdainfully.
Fang Mo was tall and lean, with broad shoulders and a sexy waist.
Even in dusty, cheap sportswear, his excellent physique was evident.
Under his washed-out T-shirt, the outline of his well-defined muscles was faintly visible, complemented by his handsome yet lively face...
He was indeed a good-looking guy. But looking at his worn-out canvas shoes and wrinkled jeans, Wang Jin withdrew his gaze, thinking he was unworthy of being a love rival.
Seeing that Xi Yue had already been assigned a role, Wang Jin didn’t stay long. He greeted Na Ru and asked her to take good care of Xi Yue, and then, he went back to the adjacent music room.
Na Ru nudged Xi Yue’s shoulder, “How considerate, huh?”
Xi Yue smiled awkwardly.
Seeing there was nothing for him to do, Fang Mo picked up the empty bucket he had replaced and walked out.
Passing by the adjacent music room, he glanced inside. Wang Jin was flipping through sheet music, standing in the light, as pure as an untouched prince.
“Huh, he’s so fake,” Fang Mo muttered under his breath.
...
The rehearsal began in the dance studio.
The seniors were much stronger than the juniors, both in terms of skills and experience.
Xi Yue, like a thirsty sponge in the ocean, absorbed everything frantically.
Na Ru was somewhat surprised to see the sparkle in Xi Yue’s eyes.
Xi Yue had solid skills, a good figure, and a pleasant appearance, making her a top performer among the juniors. However, compared to the seniors, she was still a bit lacking.
Na Ru agreed to let her join the rehearsal out of respect for Wang Jin, initially planning to let her practice for a while without expecting her to perform on stage. But now, seeing her in action, Na Ru realized Xi Yue was truly impressive.
Even with a minor role, she managed to stand out on stage with her solid foundation.
When Zong Du and Lin Yanyan arrived, they saw Xi Yue’s graceful and alluring movements.
Lin Yanyan’s eyes lit up, and she pulled Zong Du towards the window, “Brother Zong, look! Xi Yue is so beautiful!”
She had a radiant smile and didn’t hold back her praise.
Zong Du glanced briefly, looking back at her, smiling, “Not as beautiful as you.”
Lin Yanyan’s face flushed, and she quickly turned back to look inside, “You are really a talker.” Yet she couldn’t help but lean closer to him.
Zong Du glanced around the room before heading to the adjacent music classroom.
In the neighboring classroom, the deep, melodious sound of a cello filled the air.
A boy in a white shirt and black trousers sat alone, engrossed in his music. Sunlight streamed in from the window, illuminating him, making him look bright, dazzling, and pure.
Zong Du observed for a moment.
Was this the “Mr. Wang next door“?
A 30,000-dollar S brand limited edition poplin shirt, 88,000-dollar T brand custom trousers, and a master-level antique cello.
What a whore.
Yet he pretended to be innocent and unpretentious. Only a fool like Xi Yue would believe he was just “chatting.”
Zong Du sneered.
As the dance studio’s training session ended, Lin Yanyan, seeing everyone taking a break, came over to pull Zong Du inside. But Zong Du didn’t move.
“I’m going to the restroom. You go ahead.”
Lin Yanyan had to go in by herself. She found Na Ru and looked around, “Where’s Xi Yue?”
Na Ru wiped her sweat, “She might be in the restroom. Do you need her?”
“No, I need to talk to you.” Lin Yanyan handed over a business card, “I’d like to invite the dance troupe to perform at my home. Is that available for you?”
...
Before going abroad, Zong Du also studied at Huai University for his undergraduate degree, so he was very familiar with the university’s buildings.
Seeing the girls rushing downstairs, he thought for a moment and leisurely turned around, heading upstairs.
On the fourth floor, Zong Du arrived at the restroom door, found a “Under Maintenance“ sign, hung it up, and pushed the door open.
...
Xi Yue had been exhausted from last night’s activities. When she woke up in the morning, she found that her private area was almost rubbed raw, red, and swollen. As she had to go out during the day, she only did some simple treatment.
She applied some ointment to the wound and covered it with an invisible patch. As long as it didn’t rub while walking, it was fine.
However, after a dance, sweat made the covered area start to hurt. Xi Yue took a small bag from her purse and headed to the restroom on the upper floor.
The Art Building had only one restroom per floor, with odd-numbered floors (1, 3, 5) being male restrooms and even-numbered floors (2, 4, 6) being female restrooms. Because the fourth-floor restroom frequently had water issues, it was generally considered abandoned, and people seldom went there. Afraid of being discovered, Xi Yue went to the fourth floor alone, seeing everyone else rushing to the second floor.
Inside a stall, she carefully peeled off the edge of the invisible patch, feeling hot sweat trickle out.
When she completely removed it, she saw a pool of sweat. She hissed in pain, took out a tissue, and gently wiped the red and swollen wound.
That badass Zong Du, he bit anything when he went crazy. She used the tissue to absorb the sweat, fanning it with her hand to dry it. If everything was fine in a while, she planned to sprinkle some talcum powder and reapply the privacy patch. Although it was only a temporary solution, it was better than nothing.
Just halfway through wiping, she heard the door open.
Xi Yue frowned. Someone’s here?
She kept quiet, waiting for the person to leave. However, after a while, there was no sound of anyone leaving.
Instead, the footsteps got closer.
No way?
Are they also here to fix their clothes?
Just as she thought this, she heard a bang from the next stall.
Kicking the door?!
After kicking open one door, the person didn’t stop and seemed to be approaching her stall.
Xi Yue felt a pang of anxiety.
Could it be a maintenance worker? She pursed her lips, quickly fixing her clothes.
To cool the wound and handle the privacy patch, Xi Yue had pulled her top up to her neck and her bra up to her collarbone, leaving her full chest exposed.
She hurriedly tried to fix the patch, but it had stuck together when she tore it off carelessly earlier.
The harder she tried to separate it, the more it stuck.
“Damn it!” Xi Yue cursed softly, putting the patch aside and trying to fasten her bra. Unexpectedly, the strap and the extender were tangled together. The more she pulled, the more the clasp got caught in her T-shirt.
The more she hurried, the more chaotic it became.
The footsteps outside got closer. Xi Yue steeled herself, unhooked the strap, and was about to put it back on. At the same time, she covered her chest with her hands and shouted, “Stop kicking it, someone’s in here!”
Just as she finished speaking, the door in front of her banged open.
“Ah!” Xi Yue stepped back, falling onto the toilet seat.
Zong Du stood at the door, looking at her through the unsteady door. He raised an eyebrow.
Xi Yue was wearing a light blue quick-dry outfit, with matching undergarments.
At this moment, her T-shirt was pulled up high, and her bra had one clasp undone, and the remaining strap dangled precariously on her arm. Two trembling red tips were in plain sight.
Her white hot, full boobs adorned with two cherries, reddened by his recklessness last night, stood out vividly. Xi Yue snapped back to reality. Her face flushed, and quickly covered herself, “Hey, don’t stare at me!”Zong Du raised an eyebrow and walked in. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms with a strong tug. As her bra slipped off, her skin pressed against his shirt. The warm, snow-like breast were squeezed into new shapes.“Mr, Mr,” Xi Yue said in embarrassment, pushing him, “Don’t do this.”Zong Du’s voice deepened, “Why... It’s my thing...I have the right.”His arms tightened around her as she moved, making it painful. Xi Yue didn’t understand what the hell Zong Du wanna do this time, but she knew resistance was futile now.She took a deep breath and looked up at him.Zong Du’s cold, chiseled face showed no expression, but his hawk-like eyes were filled with intense desire.His gaze lin
Zong Du looked at her, his eyes darkening gradually.“Well, by the way, what the hell is that junior bitch?”“Junior? Oh, you mean the younger student Na Ru brought?”“Yeah, didn’t we say we’d reject juniors? How did she end up coming?”“Huh, didn’t you see who’s next door?”“Next door?”“Wang Jin!”“Huh? Wang Jin? And that junior girl?”Zong Du suddenly gripped Xi Yue’s hands tightly, and lowered his head to capture her lips and tongue.Xi Yue felt like a small boat, unable to do anything but go along with his movements.Those girls outside seemed to be addicted to gossip and showed no signs of leaving.Zong Du abruptly stopped his actions.Xi Yue was barely conscious, aware that people outside were discussing her, but their voices seemed distant and unclear.Zong Du raised his hand to brush her hair back and asked in a breathy voice, “Next door, Mr. Wang?”Xi Yue lightly bumped her forehead against
Zong Du simply leaned against the car, smiling teasingly at her, “You jealous?”Lin Yanyan’s face heated up, and she didn’t respond.Zong Du grabbed her wrist, pulling her in front of him, and brushed the long hair from her chest.“She was disrespectful to you at the hotel.”Lin Yanyan tilted her head, “So what?”“I’m standing up for you, little girl,” Zong Du said dotingly, tugging at her hair. “Get in the car, I’ll take you home.”Lin Yanyan immediately smiled and got into the passenger seat.Zong Du closed the door, and as he turned around, the smile on his face vanished.On the way, Lin Yanyan occasionally chatted with Zong Du.“I just heard them talking, and I realized that universities in China are so easygoing,” Lin Yanyan wrinkled her nose, “I’m always busy writing papers and don’t even have time for romance.”Zong Du raised an eyebrow, “You mean that I’m delaying your studies?”Lin Yanyan’s face turned red, “
Xi Yue instinctively raised her hand and slapped him.“Pop!”Wang Jin’s hand was knocked askew, instantly swelling and turning red. Xi Yue stepped back, her eyes full of caution. “Mr. Wang, I’m sorry. I’ve trained in self-defense techniques, and it was just an instinct...”This made Wang Jin feel even colder inside. Did she not even see him as a good person?Wang Jin’s eyes darkened, and he unwillingly stepped forward again. Xi Yue backed up two steps, finding herself trapped against a Royce Rolls.“I really like you. Please give me a chance to take care of you. I promise...”“Mr. Wang, I want to focus on my studies. I have no plans for a relationship. Thank you for your feelings, but I’m truly sorry.”“Xi Yue,” Wang Jin raised his hand to touch her face, “let’s give it a try, shall we? Trust me, I—”Click.Just as Xi Yue was about to push him away, she heard the sound of a car door opening behind her. Turning her head, sh
Zong Du reclined the seat and pressed his body against hers. “Good girl, just relax.” He lowered his head and kissed her moist eyes. His gentle tone and actions made it seem as if she were his beloved, held tenderly in his heart. Xi Yue, feeling aggrieved, clung to his shoulder, and her tears flew uncontrollably. Zong Du easily pulled down her pants, his fingers gently stroking the scar on her upper abdomen. Xi Yue trembled, unable to suppress a soft moan. He touched her face with satisfaction, “Took your medicine?” Xi Yue nodded. Zong Du smiled, “Good girl, save a condom.” With that, he lifted one of her legs. Xi Yue obediently relaxed her body, cooperating as he removed her pants. Her skin, exposed to the cool air, shivered in response. Her overused body could no longer endure his intensity. Just as Xi Yue was bracing herself with a pale face, Zong Du produced a bottle of lubricant from nowhere.
Xi Yue instinctively looked away, her fingers unconsciously gripping the seam of her clothes. “No, you look... really pretty today.”Zhuang Yi smiled and gave her a playful pat. “You naughty girl, even teasing your own mother.”Xi Yue’s voice was hoarse. “Have you... seen him recently?”Ever since that incident when she was eighteen, Xi Yue had never called Xi Kuoshan “Dad“ again. When she had to refer to him, she either called him “he“ or used his full name.Zhuang Yi’s smile faltered, and she sighed. “I saw him a few days ago. He’s... doing fine.”Xi Yue thought of the missing vase from the fourth floor and the new debts they owed, and her chest tightened with anxiety.Zhuang Yi glanced toward the kitchen. “The soup is almost ready. Later, I’ll serve Senior Zong and Mrs first, then leave a bowl for Mr. Zong. You can take it upstairs.”“No!” Xi Yue quickly refused. “...He can come down to eat.”“Mr. Zong was busy until late last night
When Zong Du came downstairs, it was just in time for lunch. As he entered the dining room, he saw Mrs. Zong sitting in front of a table, looking displeased.He pulled out a chair and sat down. “What’s wrong?”Mrs. Zong frowned. “Nothing but your father. He came back late last night and left again this morning without even eating.”For the past few years, Zong Yuhai rarely came home. When he did, it was like clocking in—sleeping in the bedroom and leaving as soon as he woke up.Mrs. Zong was very dissatisfied with this.Zong Du smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. “Huh, he’s quite busy.”Mrs. Zong was unhappy. “Come on, he’s not a boy. Why does he still work so hard? Isn’t it enough that you’re here? He should spend more time with me.”Zong Du didn’t respond.Mrs. Zong sighed. “How are things progressing with Yanyan?”Zong Du made a sound of acknowledgment. “Fine.”Mrs. Zong’s eyes lit up. “Going okay? Can I start having
The man’s urgent kisses were accompanied by the removal of clothing, making Xi Yue both flustered and embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment before softening her body, cooperating with his movements and leaning into him. Just as her clothes were wide open and she was completely naked, Zong Du suddenly stopped.Xi Yue opened her eyes in confusion, seeing Zong Du still fully dressed, looking at her with clear eyes. Only she stood naked by the window, her whole body enveloped in a blush. Instinctively, Xi Yue raised her arms to cover her chest, with goosebumps rising on her skin. Her eyes were moist as she silently questioned him.Zong Du’s gaze darkened as he scanned her body. Her body were exquisite, her skin as white and smooth as always, covered in his marks. Just like yesterday. But he had never touched her face. Her small face was noticeably swollen on the left side, with a bruise at the corner of her mouth.
