[Urban] Rebirth of My Sister's Lover - 13-15

81. Girl, your name is Innocent

Century Café, a place sparsely populated. In the most secluded corner, a tree as tall as a roof blocks the view from the outside.

A man sits casually in a leather chair, one finger bent, tapping repeatedly on the round wooden table.

Wei Xuan had just ordered a coffee when a boy of about fifteen or sixteen, wearing a baseball cap, rushed in and handed him a bulging envelope. The shy boy bowed and then quickly ran out.

After reading the long letter, Wei Xuan's face turned ashen.

It was a detailed and focused investigative letter. Wei Xuan had hired a trusted private investigator to find out about Ai Xiaoli's past and how she met Yuan Sili.

A girl from a well-off family, with living parents and a younger brother, she had excelled academically and had outstanding talents since childhood, making her well-liked by those around her.

Yet, even such a woman was not good enough for Yuan Sili. Wei Xuan thought to himself.

Wei Xuan clenched the letter in his hand, veins bulging on his forehead like crawling earthworms, ready to burst at any moment.

So that's how it is, Wei Xuan thought. He drove while recalling the contents of the letter, growing angrier with each passing thought. Before even reaching the Sang family home, he called Sang Rou.

Wei Xuan's first words were aggressive and demanding, "Did you introduce that Ai Xiaoli to Yuan Sili?"

Sang Rou thought for a moment and immediately remembered Ai Xiaoli, the cute junior from elementary school. They had worked together a few times; Ai Xiaoli was hardworking, had a strong stage presence, and could command the audience. Sang Rou admired diligent girls, so their relationship was generally pleasant.

Sang Rou didn't take the hostility in Wei Xuan's tone to heart; after all, Wei Xuan was always quick-tempered and straightforward.

So she casually replied, "Yes, I once asked Siri to partner with Xiaoli at the welcome party, and that's how they met."

"Partner?... Sang Rou, when did you become so nosy? Isn't Sang Pei enough for you to worry about? Why are you so nosy?"

Sang Rou realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked into the phone, "Wait, wait, what are you saying? I don't understand. Wei Xuan, can you explain this to me?"

"They're together now," Wei Xuan said angrily.

Sang Rou breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, you mean Siri and Xiaoli are dating? What's wrong with that?"

At the same time, an absurd thought arose in Sang Rou's mind: Siri can date too.

Although it's normal for Yuan Siri to date, Sang Rou still felt a sense of unease. Because Yuan Siri had been held back by Wei Xuan for so long, it had become a habit. In his youth, Wei Xuan was a notorious playboy and rebellious teenager; he'd had at least a whole regiment of women, if not a whole division. On the other hand, looking at Yuan Sili beside him, Wei Xuan would go to Yuan Sili for shelter whenever he ran away from home after arguing with his family, or when he was upset after breaking up with his girlfriend… He wouldn't say anything when he had something to do, but he would still go to Yuan Sili for shelter

even when he had nothing to do. Despite this, Yuan Sili, with his good family background, good looks, and impeccable character, had never had a serious relationship.

Thinking of Wei Xuan's anger, Sang Rou's womanly intuition kicked in, and her heart skipped a beat… Could it be that…?

Sang Rou cursed herself inwardly, scolding herself for overthinking. These two people were people she valued highly; how could she have such messy thoughts?

"No, of course not. That woman isn't good enough for him; he should find someone better."

"That should be Sili's judgment; we have no right to interfere," Sang Rou said, trying to be as objective as possible.

While on the phone, still angry, Wei Xuan didn't see an oncoming truck. By the time he realized what was happening and swerved the steering wheel, it was too late.

No matter how good Wei Xuan's sports car was, it couldn't possibly compete with a truck.

A sharp horn blared in the middle of the road, and Wei Xuan's last thought was that the matter with Yuan Sili wasn't finished.

He had so much to do; he couldn't die…

Bright red blood flowed from his body.

Sang Rou heard something amiss on the other end of the phone, suspecting a car accident, and called out several times, "Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan, where are you?"

There was no answer, and after a while, the call automatically ended.

Her phone automatically shut down. Sang Rou panicked and frantically called her brother. At that moment, her instinct was to help her closest person.

"Brother, Wei Xuan's been in an accident."

After Sang Rou and Wei's mother waited outside the emergency room, and Wei Xuan emerged safely from the operating room, Sang Rou remembered to call Yuan Sili.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Sili's reaction was rather calm.

"…He's still alive?"

"It was just a minor accident, but Wei Xuan is seriously injured. Come see him," Sang Rou said urgently.

"As long as he's not dead, I'll go see him when he's better. That's all, I have things to do, I'll go now."

Sang Rou stared at her smartphone in disbelief; this couldn't possibly be what Yuan Sili said.

After Sang Rou told her brother about her doubts, Sang Pei simply pinched Sang Rou's cheeks and pulled them outwards forcefully.

"Girl, your name is Innocence."

82. I have the right to be flirtatious, you don't have the right to harass me (micro)

The room was decorated warmly and elegantly, with several fashion magazines on the bedside table, a flat-screen TV taking up half a wall, warm-toned beige curtains, fresh lilies with dew on the balcony, and even a clean bathroom... Don't doubt it, this isn't a hotel room, but a high-end suite in a private hospital.

Wei Xuan played the mobile games over and over again, and after completing all the games on his phone, he casually tossed it aside and looked at the lilies outside the window with annoyance.

When Sang Pei and Sang Rou came in, this was the scene that made them feel "bored."

Sang Rou walked to a round table, first replacing the withered roses in the vase, then placing the orchids she had brought into the empty vase.

Sang Pei approached Wei Xuan and said to him, "The truck driver only suffered minor injuries. He stopped talking after paying compensation, and the aftermath has been handled. Just focus on your rehabilitation. But the main responsibility lies with you; your driver's license will be suspended for a month. Is that alright?"

"Oh, thank you," Wei Xuan nodded absentmindedly.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine."

Seeing that Wei Xuan no longer wanted to talk, Sang Pei and Sang Rou left after sitting for a while. As they reached the door, Wei Xuan suddenly said, "Xiao Rou, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that that day."

Sang Rou turned back and smiled, "It's all over now. You need to recover quickly. My brother and I will come to pick you up from the hospital."

She didn't mention Yuan Sili. Because she had called Sili several times afterward, but Sili always made excuses about being busy and couldn't come.

The scenery beside her moved quickly past, and Sang Rou rested her elbow on the car window, her face full of confusion.

Sang Pei glanced at her out of the corner of his eye while driving, and, unable to bear it any longer, comforted her, "Alright, silly girl, don't think about it anymore, it's none of your business."

"Why is it that when Wei Xuan got into such a big mess, the root cause was still with Sri, yet he didn't even have time to come and see him?"

"Because it's inconvenient," Sang Pei said calmly.

"What's inconvenient about it? Is it the end of the world?" Sang Rou glared at her brother, retorting.

"Rou'er, don't worry about these things. Some things lose their meaning if you talk about them too much." Sang Pei's tone had unconsciously become stern.

Sang Rou's mouth moved, but she finally managed to squeeze out a dry sentence. Why dry? Because she knew her words were ridiculous.

"...Wasn't it better the way it was before? Let's go back to the way things were."

"I wish, but reality doesn't allow it."

"Why, why? Why is it like this?" The oppressive atmosphere made Sang Rou shout.

"Why, why, are you a walking encyclopedia of questions? It's simple, because our political stances are different now. Friendships are temporary, but interests are eternal. Before, our interests were aligned, which is why we were so close, but that's not the case anymore. We're on different sides now." Sang Pei suddenly stopped, shouting.

At this moment, his true feelings were revealed; he was also in pain. The reality presented far more suffering than joy.

"What do you mean? Even if interests are important, haven't we built a real bond over the past ten years? Interests can easily change people, but not everyone is driven by interests. Faced with the choice between interests and feelings, I will absolutely put feelings first. I believe Siri is the same kind of person." "

In your heart, what kind of person is Yuan Siri?"

"A very good person," Sang Rou blurted out.

"What kind of good person?" Sang Pei asked again, and Sang Rou couldn't answer.

There was a long silence between them, with pedestrians coming and going outside the window. Later, Sang Rou asked softly, "Brother, what about you? Is interests more important or feelings?"

"You are more important."

"...Forever?"

"I can't guarantee the future, but it is now."

"..."

That's enough, probably enough.

The past and the future are equally important, but only the present is the most important. The past is made up of the present, and the future is being built by the present. Grasp the present, and you have already grasped the past and the future.

Enough... enough my ass. Sang Rou cursed inwardly.

That evening, Sang Rou wore an extremely seductive pale yellow blouse, paired with lake-blue suspender stockings and pointed silver-gold high heels, her private parts barely concealed.

"Brother, do I look good like this?" Sang Rou lifted her pale yellow blouse and twirled. Having studied dance, her twirling was effortless, like she was about to take flight. Her figure was light and beautiful, and combined with her alluring attire, what man could resist such temptation?

Therefore, Sang Pei was a normal man, not only perfectly normal, but also possessing extraordinary talent.

"Beautiful, baby, you're so beautiful," Sang Pei murmured affectionately.

"Your mouth is always so sweet when you need something from me," Sang Rou said coquettishly, pinching her brother's lips.

"Then, kind sir, have pity on me and give it to me," Sang Pei pleaded in her ear.

Her brother rubbed against her incessantly, and Sang Rou couldn't help but moan softly. But as soon as the sound left her mouth, she snapped back to reality, pinching herself hard to suppress her passion.

Sang Rou subtly spun her brother around a few times until they reached the doorway. Feigning surprise, she said, "Not today. My head hurts so much. You should go home."

Sang Pei's face instantly turned ferocious. "Are you kidding me?"

His large hand gripped her delicate arm tightly, as if to kiss her fiercely.

Sang Rou feigned pain: "Let go, unless you want to rape me today."

"Rape is fine, it's a kind of fun. You're dressed so provocatively, isn't that just so I can have my way with you?"

"Sorry, I have the right to be provocative, but you don't have the right to bother me. Please leave," Sang Rou said righteously.

With that, she opened the door behind her brother when he wasn't looking and shoved him out.

Sang Rou leaned against the door, covering her face and chuckling. He deserved it.

Sang Pei knocked on the door from outside, "Rou'er, have you had enough playing? Open the door

if you have." "Take care, don't bother seeing me out." Even though her brother couldn't see her, Sang Rou still waved.

Yes, she was angry, very angry, and the consequences would be severe.

Sang Rou changed back into her soft pajamas and went to bed.

84. Dizziness to Death (Spicy)

In the dead of night, the pale purple curtains moved, like leaves falling onto the wooden floor, spiraling and gently drifting down, but there was no sound of wind rustling the leaves outside the window.

Sang Rou was always a light sleeper, and she let out a soft moan, her voice still hoarse from sleep, a hoarseness with a fleeting sensuality. Then she slowly woke up, and after a while, she was still dazed before she could see the person in front of her.

The starlight flowed, the moonlight was soft, but Sang Rou still covered the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Aren't you bored? You clearly have my room key, yet you climbed out the window. This is the second floor! What if you fell?" she pouted softly, her sleepy little face utterly charming.

She hadn't meant to stop her brother at all. It was just playful banter between them; they used to do this all the time. Didn't he know all this?

"Stolen is always better," Sang Pei laughed.

Sang Rou only showed her eyes outside the blanket, blinking like little stars in the sky, giggling.

"Try stealing it, and I'll kick you in the groin."

Sang Pei took off his coat and slipped under the covers. He pressed Sang Rou's head towards him and transferred the chocolate he was holding into her cherry lips.

"Try it."

"Ah, it's that." Sang Rou's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise. It was a special chocolate ball from a private chocolate shop in America, soft and silky, with a subtle and unique pine cone aroma, but it wasn't available in the market. Sang Rou had only tasted it once and remembered the flavor.

"You little glutton, I brought this back for you, I kept forgetting to give it to you. Did you really think I called you in the middle of the night for that?" He flicked her forehead with his finger.

"You should try some too." Sang Rou parted her cherry lips slightly and fed the chocolate ball into her brother's mouth.

Saliva mingled between them, the delicious chocolate ball being passed back and forth. Their eyes met, conveying their unspoken feelings, a gentle warmth rippled between them.

Sang Pei enjoyed this atmosphere.

"Want some?" Sang Pei's hand reached under the covers and gently touched Sang Rou's soft crotch.

"Yes... ah... no." Sang Rou repeated.

The blankets rippled, the two of them shifting constantly. Occasionally, two playful heads would peek out from under the covers, only to quickly retreat back in.

Their intimate playfulness seemed to transport them back to their childhood.

"By the way, how do you masturbate when I'm not around? I've never seen you do it by yourself."

"Of course I have. When you were in America, you often made me do it for you in front of the computer."

Speaking of this, Sang Rou's cheeks flushed, tinged with shyness.

"That's different. Before, I wasn't there. This time, I want to watch you do it in front of you myself."

"No, no!" Sang Rou shook her head vigorously.

"So, do you want it or not?"

Sang Pei tickled the itchiest spot under her armpit, the most effective and immediate result.

"Haha...you should break up with me soon..."

After taking off her pants, Sang Rou still felt embarrassed and uncomfortable all over, so she said, "Close your eyes first."

Sang Pei's heart pounded. At this moment, he understood perfectly that he was just an ordinary man, an ordinary man easily seduced by the woman he loved.

"Go deeper, are you just fooling me? Your fingers aren't even fully in." Sang Pei said sternly.

His voice didn't sound fake, as if he would tear Sang Rou to shreds if she didn't comply the next second.

"Mmm...oh..."

Sang Rou's slender fingers went another centimeter deeper into her body, her waist trembled, and she couldn't help but feel goosebumps, every pore on her body opening infinitely.

"What does it feel like inside?" Sang Pei shamelessly asked, not letting her off the hook.

"...Hot."

"Anything else?"

"Still hot." Sang Rou lied.

"I said anything else?" Sang Pei's tone was icy.

"Wet, wet..." Sang Rou's voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"Add another finger," Sang Pei commanded.

"Brother, it's already soaking wet inside, any wetter and it won't do. Waaah, brother, no!"

"Wasn't my word clear enough? Add another."

This woman had to be treated harshly; if you were gentle with her, she'd just follow the lead.

There's an old saying, "If you don't beat a woman for three days, she'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles." This old saying is blatantly patriarchal, and while I don't advocate it, upon closer examination, there's a certain truth to it. Women's desire to be conquered by strong men is an innate nature.

For thousands of years of feudalism, the inherent weaknesses of both men and women have remained unchanged.

"Brother, this is already the limit."

"No, I know where your limit is, here, isn't it?"

Sang Pei inserted his own finger as well, pinching that slippery spot.

"Is it going to flow out?" Sang Pei suddenly asked.

Sang Rou nodded with difficulty.

Upon hearing this, Sang Pei buried his head deeply between Sang Rou's legs.

85. Masturbation Across the Ocean (Spicy)

I remember when Sang Pei and Sang Rou were separated by a vast ocean. But when two people love each other, they can overcome all difficulties, and distance becomes less daunting.

When they missed each other, the internet made things convenient.

I don't know who was the first to discover that video chat could not only be used for chatting, but also for… masturbation.

This amazing function saved many long-distance couples.

That day, the two siblings were chatting. Sang Rou didn't know what she said that offended her brother, but on a whim, he asked her to turn on the computer, saying he wanted to see her. Sang Rou knew Sang Pei's lewd intentions all too well, but since she was at school, she naturally refused.

So that night, instead of going back to her dorm, she went to their small apartment.

Sang Rou closed all the windows and drew all the curtains before turning on the computer, and Sang Pei was already waiting on the other end. As soon as Sang Rou logged on, she saw his avatar lit up.

"What?" Sang Rou rested her chin on her hand, adjusted the camera, and asked her brother on the screen, feigning ignorance.

Sang Pei laughed, "What? To you."

Sang Rou nodded as if she understood. "Oh, even though we're so far apart, you're still so domineering. Is this really okay? Aren't you afraid I'll turn off the computer?"

Sang Rou's voice was soft and sweet, deliberately lowered, full of coquettishness, showing no intention of turning off the computer at all.

Sang Pei laughed, "You wouldn't want to."

Her brother's voice came from across the ocean, as if it were ringing in her ears, hoarse and dry.

Actually, the two of them didn't have many opportunities to video chat like this, and Sang Rou was indeed a little reluctant to let it go. Moreover, she was afraid that those enthusiastic American girls would seduce him.

Let her satisfy his desires.

Sang Pei nodded and gestured to Sang Rou, "Be good, take off your clothes. I missed you."

Sang Rou's heartstrings trembled. Even though she and her brother had already done all sorts of lewd things, the shyness of a girl still made her embarrassed.

She turned away from the camera, instinctively obeying her brother's words.

From Sang Pei's perspective, it was like watching a modern movie.

Sang Rou first unbuttoned her orange cardigan, neatly folded it, and placed it on a table. Then, she unzipped her light white underskirt, slowly lowering it inch by inch until it reached the floor. Sang

Rou loved this cute, petal-shaped dress; the floral ruffles at the hem were particularly appealing, so she cherished it. Afraid

of getting it dirty, she quickly bent down to pick it up. However, this bending over exposed her shapely buttocks to her brother's eyes.

"Brother, you're done."

Sang Rou turned around, crossing her arms over her chest. This gesture only made her breasts appear larger and her cleavage deeper.

"And your bra and panties," Sang Pei commanded from the other end of the computer.

Sang Rou hesitated for a moment before obediently removing the only two pieces of cloth covering her body.

"Raise the chair higher and spread your legs."

Sang Rou did as instructed, a hint of curiosity lingering in her heart about what her brother wanted her to do.

"Like this... won't anyone see?" Sang Rou nervously glanced around, always afraid someone might be spying on her.

"Trust me," Sang Pei replied confidently.

"Yes, like this, put both legs on the armrests of the chair."

Only after assuming the position did Sang Rou realize how shameful this action was. Her private parts were wide open, revealing a dark, dense forest, and this breathtakingly beautiful sight was captured by the camera and reflected in her brother's eyes.

"What does it feel like?" Sang Pei's throat was dry. Seeing Sang Rou's unconsciously seductive movements, he couldn't help but want to cross the ocean via the internet, pin Sang Rou down, and have his way with her until she cried and begged him.

His lower body was already erect like a golden cudgel, his thick dragon root clamoring…

“…It’s chilly.” Sang Rou’s heart was pounding like a rabbit in her chest. She didn’t dare watch the video and turned her head away

as she replied. “Did you miss me?” Sang Pei’s voice was tender and seductive.

“Yes.” Sang Rou answered without hesitation.

…

On the big bed, under the covers, Sang Pei held Sang Rou and asked, “What were you thinking about? Your face is so red.”

“…Nothing.” Sang Rou blushed, wanting to forget that embarrassing incident.

“Judging from your blushing face, you were thinking about that day, weren’t you?” He smiled, kissing her cherry lips.

“Brother!” Sang Rou trembled and said seriously, “We agreed not to mention that day.”

“Sorry, it’s my fault.” Sang Pei found her tongue and took it in his mouth.

That day's ending was far from pleasant. During Sang Rou's climax, her cool bottom slipped, and she fell off the chair. Not only did the pleasure vanish instantly, but tragically, she sprained her ankle, taking a week to heal.

When her classmates smelled it, Sang Rou could only use the lame excuse of "falling down the stairs" as a shield.

Sang Rou desperately wanted to erase this embarrassing incident forever.

"Baby, okay, okay, let's forget about that day."

"I really don't want to talk to you. I clearly said no from the beginning."

"Yes, yes, I know, I know, it's all my fault, I'll slap myself."

Saying this, Sang Pei actually slapped his own mouth, mercilessly, until it turned red in a few strokes. Sang Rou felt sorry for him and hurriedly grabbed his hand.

"Okay, I'm not really blaming you."

"Really not blaming you?"

Sang Pei subtly set a trap.

"Mmm."

"Then put it in your mouth, like I did when I was licking my pussy."

Sang Pei pointed to his trembling member, enticingly.

86. Making a mountain out of a molehill (spicy)

Oral sex is oral sex, why make it sound so lewd?

Experience proves that neither women nor men should be indulged; once indulged, things get out of hand. Look, she's blushing.

Although she had some reservations, Sang Rou obediently licked as instructed. In this regard, she rarely refused her brother.

Although Sang Rou didn't care about the formalities of marriage, she was still a little domineering at heart. Her brother was hers; he couldn't touch other women.

Sang Rou's clothes were already disheveled from playing with her brother on the bed. She squatted down, raised her hips, and lifted half of her nightgown. Then, she gently held his huge penis with both hands, and like a beautiful snake, she gently licked the shaft with her fragrant tongue.

The wonderful taste of sandalwood could make one feel like they were dying of pleasure. His

huge penis was gently caressed and licked from top to bottom, and Sang Pei squinted his eyes, enjoying the moment with satisfaction. When he was far away in America, one of his biggest regrets was not being able to touch her often. In the dead of night, when no one was around, what he missed most was her lips, her feet… every inch of her fragrant flesh.

After a period of inactivity, Sang Rou's movements became somewhat rusty. So, when she accidentally bumped her teeth against her brother, she felt a deep sense of guilt.

Sang Pei hissed and suddenly cupped Sang Rou's face in his hands.

"Have you forgotten how to love it? Have you rarely practiced with those toys when I'm not around?"

"No, I haven't forgotten," Sang Rou lied sweetly.

"Is this how I've taught you since you were little? If you're wrong, you should have the courage to admit it. Have you forgotten?"

"...I've forgotten." Sang Rou sadly lowered her head.

"If you're wrong, you should accept the punishment. What should you do?"

Sang Rou was confused, suddenly unable to recall what punishment meant. It wasn't until Sang Pei's meaningful, drawn-out nasal tone that she suddenly realized.

After a second's pause, she timidly turned around, lying on the bed like a puppy, her bottom raised high.

"Brother, please punish my little bottom," Sang Rou said with difficulty.

"Hmm? So unruly, is this how I taught you?" Sang Pei lowered his voice, slightly panting.

"Brother, please punish me...please punish me...please punish me..." Sang Rou's voice choked with sobs.

"Has it been a while since I punished you? You've forgotten what rules are?"

"...Brother, please punish this bitch's little butt hard." After saying that, Sang Rou felt extremely dizzy; she felt like dying of shame.

Sang Pei was satisfied. He patted Sang Rou's fair buttocks with his hand. "That's a good girl. Stand at the forty-five-degree angle I taught you."

The most tender skin on everyone's body is probably the buttocks, because the buttocks are the least exposed to light. And Sang Rou's buttocks were even more delicate. Sang Pei's fingers felt like they were being sucked in by some exquisite warm jade; he couldn't bear to let go.

While stroking Sang Rou's warm buttocks, Sang Pei took off the belt from his trousers, first raising it in his palm to test the feel, and then suddenly lashed it out at Sang Rou with a "snap," hitting her buttocks right in the cleft. "Does it feel good?"

The crocodile leather belt was rough and resilient, giving Sang Rou a contradictory feeling of pain and pleasure.

"...It feels good." With each lash, Sang Rou's heart skipped a beat, and she let out a muffled groan.

"Does it hurt?" Sang Pei asked again, thoroughly enjoying her shameful expression.

"...It hurts."

"That's strange, are you feeling good or in pain?" Sang Pei asked, feigning surprise.

"I...I don't know...please, brother, have mercy on me."

"Oh, how can I have mercy on you?" Sang Pei whispered a phrase in Sang Rou's blushing ear, "Say this, and I'll give it to you."

"Please...brother, fill...fill the little bitch's cunt." Sang Rou said in a daze.

As her brother forcefully thrust in, Sang Rou let out a cry, tears welling up in her eyes, her face gaining a touch of rosy color.

87. Night Market

Stroll On a noisy, bustling night, Sang Rou and Sang Pei sat shoulder to shoulder in the dark movie theater watching a film.

They sat in the middle, near the front. Sang Rou ate popcorn, speechless, watching the couple piled up in front of her. Even movies weren't this intense.

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this is a horror movie, right? Why are they so..." Sang Rou hesitated to speak.

It wasn't that she was peeping; they were so close, she couldn't help but watch. Besides, this was a public place. Why didn't they consider other people's feelings? Intimate things could happen at home; the house was big enough for them to do whatever they wanted.

Sang Rou clicked her tongue as she ate her popcorn. No way, that guy had already taken the girl's pants off! Was there anything more passionate?

"You're not just jealous, are you?" Sang Pei said, his eyes glued to the big screen.

"...No, that's not it." Sang Rou tentatively touched her brother's shoulder with her own, and seeing that he didn't react, she carefully rested her head on his shoulder. "I don't want to be seen naked by others." "

Then watch the movie properly. And keep your eating quiet, don't disturb others."

Sang Rou vented her frustration by increasing the intensity of her popcorn-eating, and seeing that her brother was unmoved, she lowered her voice again.

After the movie, as night deepened, Sang Rou took her brother's hand and went to Jiangzhou's famous but chaotic night market. Like any ordinary young couple, Sang Rou was determined to sweep through all the night market stalls.

"I want to eat this." From a distance, Sang Rou could smell the unique aroma of stinky tofu, and her mouth watered from the sourness.

"Hmm, but eat less. Don't eat junk food as soon as your asthma gets a little better."

"I'm already better, okay? Do you think I'm fat?"

"I think it's rough on your hands."

"Fine then." Sang Rou ate heartily, knowing that her brother would pay for it.

Sang Pei was putting out condiments and chili sauce for her. Sang Rou knew her brother didn't eat this, so she ate by herself while trying to start a conversation: "Where's Wei Xuan? Is he feeling better?"

"He went back to the capital to take his final exams."

Sang Rou's body trembled. She was about to speak when she remembered she hadn't swallowed the stinky tofu in her mouth. She quickly covered her mouth and said, "Ah, my exam!!! I forgot all about it! There's only a week left! What am I going to do? What am I going to do? It's all your fault! If you hadn't been bothering me, how could I have forgotten something as important as the exam?"

"...Still acting crazy?" Sang Pei looked at Sang Rou speechlessly. "I knew you'd do this. I'll tutor you starting tomorrow." "

Brother, you're a good person. I misunderstood you." Sang Rou cleverly changed her tune immediately.

"Don't emphasize it. I knew it all along. Isn't that what you call me in bed every day? Okay, aren't we going to the haunted house? Let's go after we finish eating."

On the way back, Sang Rou linked arms with her brother, hanging all her weight on him like a giant koala.

"Brother, can you play like this with me every year?"

"If you don't find it boring to play like this every year, I don't mind."

"Hehe, I'm so happy today."

How could she be bored? Wherever he was, there was the secret to her happiness.

"...Silly girl."

The next day, before dawn, Sang Pei woke Sang Rou up. Looking at her neatly dressed brother, Sang Rou felt like going back to sleep.

"This book..." Sang Rou took out a brand new book.

"Brother, can you understand it? I absolutely, absolutely don't doubt you, it's just that you're not in this major."

"The knowledge is different, but the learning methods are the same." Sang Pei flipped through the table of contents of Sang Rou's textbook, skimming it. "Okay, let's begin."

"Brother, I feel like my worst week has begun."

"Stop talking nonsense, read the book, do you want to fail?" Sang Pei tapped the book cover with his fingers.

Oh~~

Laziness really does come at a price.

88.

What is the most lively and festive time of the year for power struggles? It's the Lunar New Year.

The Lunar New Year is not only a festival of universal celebration, but it also embodies the gratitude of the Chinese people for the fruits of their labor in the past year, and also their blessings for the new year.

Friends and relatives from afar returned one after another, a good opportunity to reconnect and build relationships, a showcase for the successful and a place for the unsuccessful to fall silent.

After a grueling Sunday-night reversal of training, Sang Rou barely passed her final exams, but thankfully, she did.

Wei Xuan returned before the New Year, bringing several friends from the capital. They claimed to be visiting Jiangzhou, but what they actually did was known only to themselves.

It's unclear what the Wei family and Wei Xuan discussed, but Wei Xuan seemed to have forgotten his argument with Yuan Sili, continuing his dissolute lifestyle, though no gentle person was by his side anymore.

This was a year of unpredictable political upheaval, with a new leader to be initially established.

The two major powers were maneuvering, and local forces had already taken sides.

In her previous life, Sang Rou lived at the bottom of society, her contact limited to the upper-class playboys. Although she hadn't paid special attention to political news or had such close contact with politics as in this life, she still knew who the leader would be on television every day.

Therefore, she wasn't worried at all, because her brother's choice was correct. What troubled her was Yuan Sili. The Yuan family's stance this time differed from that of the Sang and Wei families. But she knew that the general course of history wouldn't change, so Yuan Sili's fate was already sealed—a crushing defeat.

Sometimes she impulsively wanted to advise Yuan Sili, but at the same time, she understood that family power choices were mostly the result of weighing various factors, and it was impossible for her few words to change the Yuan family's stance. Moreover, even if she tried to persuade Yuan Sili, Sili wasn't the actual person in charge of the Yuan family, so it would be useless.

Sang Rou kept these things buried in her heart, only bringing them up to ponder when no one was around.

Sang Pei ruffled Sang Rou's hair, "What are you thinking about, silly girl? Get out of the car."

"Oh, oh," Sang Rou responded, quickly lifting the hem of her dress and taking her brother's outstretched hand to get out of the car.

Today, the entire Sang family attended a gathering at the Wei family manor. She had made a special effort, wearing light makeup, her fair face accentuated by a delicate blush. Her dark hair was half loosely styled in a bun, the other half cascading down her chest. A pure white strapless chiffon dress cinched her slender waist, and large, round, natural South China Sea pearls around her neck made her neck appear even longer. Sang Rou looked incredibly pure and innocent today.

But it was her brother who attracted the most attention.

After the extended Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped, Sang's parents walked in front, followed closely by Sang Pei and Sang Rou.

Sang's father praised Wei Xuan to Wei's father until he blushed.

"Like father, like son, Lao Qing. You graduated from Kyoto University, right? Old-school universities are definitely better. Jiangzhou University in our city is good, but its political foundation isn't as strong as Kyoto University's. Nine out of ten prime ministers throughout history have

graduated from Kyoto University. Looks like you're planning Xuan'er's political career." "It's not that good. I had to pull a lot of strings to get the school to accept him. Unlike Pei'er, who's already far ahead of his peers at such a young age, much better than my son." Wei's father laughed heartily, while Sang's father remained noncommittal, accepting the praise as a matter of course.

Wei's father then addressed the young men, "The children are still young, and their potential is limitless. Alright, Lao Wei, the kids are all grown up now, they don't want to talk to us anymore, let them go play somewhere else." Wei

Xuan couldn't wait to leave; he'd rather go pick up some pretty girls than listen to the two old men's mutual flattery.

As soon as Sang Pei and Sang Rou entered the back garden, someone greeted them.

"Brother Pei, long time no see! I thought you weren't in Jiangzhou anymore."

"I'm back."

"Brother Pei, you'd better take good care of the brothers from now on."

...

Greetings rose and fell, finally bringing a brief moment of peace.

Wei Xuan handed Sang Pei a cigarette and secretly asked, "You two got it done? Look at how strange your mother's eyes are when she looks at Xiao Rou."

"Yeah, I mentioned it to them both," Sang Pei took the cigarette and shrugged indifferently.

"Tsk, I really didn't expect your dad to agree."

"He had a condition. He asked Rou'er to bring all the property her parents left her into the Sang family as her dowry... Rou'er agreed.

And I also promised him that I would give birth to a child for the Sang family as soon as possible."

"Uncle Sang doesn't seem to care about Xiao Li's feelings. How much of the inheritance did Xiao Rou actually inherit?" Wei Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Sang Pei said indifferently, "I don't know, probably a lot of antiques. I don't plan to take them. Everything about her and me, I will create myself."

But things in this world rarely go as people expect. That's why there's a saying that life is unpredictable.

89. The legendary Crown Princess

A gust of wind blew, green leaves swayed in the wind, and the fresh scent of earth filled the air. Because of the heavy dew, a layer of white mist floated in the garden at night, drifting ethereally above the garden. From a distance, the figures were graceful and the voices were lively, like a fairyland.

In a secluded corner of the garden, Wei Xuan was introducing three friends he had brought back from the capital to Sang Pei.

Two boys and one girl, all in their early twenties. Because the boy was of average appearance and the girl was tall and pretty, they looked like a princess with two bodyguards.

Afterwards, Sang Rou secretly told her brother her thoughts. Her brother tapped her a few times, "Am I not enough for you to look at? You still have the energy to look at other men."

Sang Rou stuck out her tongue, "Everyone has a love for beauty. Don't you like beautiful women yourself? Besides, brother, you are the most handsome in my heart. Even if other men are really more handsome than you, I still think you are the most handsome."

This is full of grammatical errors... Sang Pei felt that this praise didn't make him happy at all. His sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and his handsome face looked bitter and resentful.

Wei Xuan laughed heartily, "Little Rou'er, you have a sharp eye. That's the legendary Crown Princess of the capital, isn't that the princess you mentioned?"

Sang Rou poured out the first brew of tea and held out the second brew of tea with both hands, handing it to her brother and Wei Xuan respectively.

"What a coincidence? She seems quite easy to get along with; there's no hint of arrogance or condescension in her tone."

"Easy to get along with," Wei Xuan shrugged, blew on his Maojian tea, took a sip, and smiled. "Even if she's easy to get along with, don't get too close. As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. Princesses aren't easy to please either. We just need to keep a proper distance. They're only in Jiangzhou for a few days, just casually connecting with us. They'll naturally go back for the New Year. Let's not talk about those irrelevant people. By the way, Xiao Rou, I heard you're getting married. How are the preparations going?"

Sang Rou smiled shyly, glanced at her brother, and whispered, "We haven't told anyone yet. We plan to get engaged first. Sigh, actually, we haven't prepared anything."

Her parents died early in this life, and her elders all had their own agendas towards her. At this crucial moment, she didn't have a single female elder by her side to consult, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She missed her parents from her past life terribly; they had been selfless and kind to her, asking for nothing in return, and always thinking of her needs. If she had a relative by her side now, she could… But she immediately suppressed her racing heart. Their lives were completely different now; how could she disturb their peaceful existence and drag them into the quagmire of chaos?

“Hehe, take your time preparing. Sang Pei definitely won’t want you to be hasty,” Wei Xuan said with a mischievous grin, bumping Sang Pei’s shoulder.

Sang Pei nodded seriously, "Take your time, don't rush, we have plenty of time."

"Oh, right, Pei," Wei Xuan said, as if suddenly remembering something, "I'll bring the three of them to your house tomorrow. Last time we chatted, that short guy said that China has only been open to the outside world for a few years, and the country has only been established for a few years, but the real aristocracy has been overthrown, and all of China is now populated by peasants, with no aristocrats left. I got angry and told them that I would take them to see the real aristocratic families in Jiangzhou. I heard that when your great-grandmother got married, the whole street saw her off, with ten miles of red cloth, and I think a great poet from the Qing Dynasty wrote a poem for her. That inscription should still be in your safe, right? I told them about it, and they said they absolutely have to meet her. You don't mind, do you?"

"It doesn't matter, meeting her privately is fine. But you can't be as flamboyant as before when you're out in public... Sri Lanka isn't with you right now... After all, these are extraordinary times." Sang Pei replied calmly.

Wei Xuan seemed to recall some unpleasant memory, his fist clenching unconsciously. He responded softly, "...I understand."

From now on, he would truly be alone.

90.

What is deeper in a woman's heart than her desire for sex?

It's having a man who knows and loves her.

Sang Rou saw Ai Xiaoli during the New Year, the junior schoolmate she once thought was very cute.

Why "once"?

Ai Xiaoli hadn't done anything wrong, but everyone has biases, right? On one side was the junior schoolmate she'd only met a few times, and on the other was Wei Xuan, her childhood sweetheart and brotherly lover. Sang Rou harbored a hidden resentment towards Ai Xiaoli for instigating the conflict between Yuan Sili and Wei Xuan.

So when she saw Ai Xiaoli on the street, Sang Rou didn't go over to greet her. On the contrary, Ai Xiaoli was very happy to see Sang Rou. She ran over and called out to Sang Rou, "Senior, senior, it's me, Xiaoli! Haha, it's been so long, you probably don't even recognize me anymore."

Ai Xiaoli was quite different from before. Although her clothes hadn't changed to well-known international brands, she paid much more attention to details like hair clips and bracelets, and her hair was styled in a cute bun. Her clothing choices showed a trend towards being as understated and reserved as Sri's, indicating that Sri had a significant influence on her.

"I remember," Sang Rou smiled. She couldn't bring herself to embarrass a young girl in person, especially since the other girl knew nothing about it. In the end, she decided to maintain a comfortable distance.

Ai Xiaoli cheerfully said to Sang Rou, "Senior, I haven't really thanked you properly yet. You not only gave me a chance to go on stage, but you were also my matchmaker with Sri. By the way, you should know by now, Sri and I are together. He's a very nice person and has mentioned you to me many times. You two have a really good relationship."

Sang Rou indicated that she hadn't thought about being a matchmaker. The direct consequence of this incident was Wei Xuan's car accident, and she still feels guilty about it.

Ai Xiaoli stuck out her tongue and smiled. Her cheeks were a bit chubby, and her face was rather long, giving her a Korean star-like appearance. So, when she stuck out her tongue like that, it wasn't disgusting at all; instead, it was rather charming and cute.

"Okay, I understand." Sang Rou nodded, her eyes darting around as she looked for an excuse to leave. Seeing Ai Xiaoli so happy, she couldn't help but think of Wei Xuan, who had been sitting forlornly in the hospital, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Ai Xiaoli's face showed a mixture of joy at meeting her senior and apology. She bowed deeply, "I'm sorry, senior. I only found out later from others that I caused you so much trouble. Because you stood up for me... you were even slandered by others. I'm so, so sorry. I went to look for you later, but I learned that you had gone home. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be like this. Fortunately, I heard later that things were resolved satisfactorily."

After saying this, Ai Xiaoli bowed again, her face full of apology.

Sang Rou had already dealt with the incident of Li Weiwei storming into her dormitory and hurling insults. Later, due to her brother's intervention, Li Weiwei wouldn't be released without spending several months in prison. Sang Rou considered the matter closed and didn't want to do anything more to Li Weiwei; it was enough that she knew where she had gone wrong. Therefore, when Ai Xiaoli brought it up, she felt no unease.

"It's not your fault. That's a personal grudge between Li Weiwei and me. We have a deep-seated resentment, and she just used your situation to vent. The facts prove that your abilities are undeniable," Sang Rou said truthfully. She glanced down at Zhong, "I'm sorry, I have things to do, and someone is waiting for me, so I'll go now."

"Okay, bye-bye, senior."

"Goodbye."

Sang Rou waved goodbye.

Above the vast blue sky, white gulls soared, and white clouds shifted.

Sang Rou stood blankly by the wide body of water, gazing at the tranquil lake, lost in thought.

Sang Pei wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, rested his chin on her head, and said helplessly, "Your little head is always thinking about all sorts of nonsense. Aren't you tired? Just have fun when you're out having fun."

Sang Rou sighed, turned around, buried her head in her brother's arms, and said softly, "Brother, I was just thinking that dating a rich and powerful man is really tiring. There's so much to worry about. I saw Ai Xiaoli today, who's Sili's current girlfriend. She seems so happy now, but when they break up, won't it be even more painful? Because it's hard to be together. Everyone is like that. The more you have, the more responsibilities you have. Sometimes, it's not as simple as just saying 'let's be together' to solve the problem. It's really rare for us to have come this far."

"Have I been letting you have too much free time, giving you so much energy to think about all this and that?" Sang Pei ruffled Sang Rou's hair. "Alright, why worry so much about other people's business? Come on, let's go boating."

What troubled Sang Pei the most was that Sang Rou was too sensitive, overthinking everything. Even the family's old doctor, Dr. Li, had said that Sang Rou's heavy thoughts were not good for longevity.

Seeing her brother trying so hard to distract her, Sang Rou stopped herself from saying what she was about to say. She almost wanted to tell her brother that they didn't need anything, just to find a quiet place to spend their middle and old age peacefully, with him farming and her weaving, or even her supporting him, and he not having to do anything. But she also understood that the moon has its phases, and life has its joys and sorrows; nothing is ever perfect, and her brother was more ambitious than most men.

Sang Rou gazed intently at her brother's hand tightly holding hers. As long as he could hold her like this, that was enough for her.

Asking for too much will bring bad luck.

"Xiao Rou, Apei, come here quickly, we're about to board the ship."

Wei Xuan straightened up and waved to the two of them.

Sang Rou smiled again, her steps quickening. "Coming, coming."

91.

The bright daylight provided more light to the office. The students were working hard, their work accompanied by the rustling of pages and the occasional sip of water.

Sang Rou was hunched over the desk, rapidly flipping through papers. She was slightly nearsighted, but because she never wore glasses, no one except her brother knew. After checking her own papers, she passed them to the next student, then quickly picked up another stack.

The twenty-odd students in the same row were doing the same thing, the whole office was in a flurry of activity, and the students' faces showed the frustration and helplessness of volunteering in the school office during the New Year.

Teacher Yang, the person in charge, was responsible for the final review process. She meticulously examined each sheet of design paper in her hands. Some were graduation theses from graduating students, while others were works by renowned masters who had graduated from the design department of Jiangzhou University; their value varied.

Teacher Yang glanced at the distressed faces of the students around her and couldn't help but sigh.

Yesterday, a small fire broke out in the design department's archives. Yang Wenjing discovered it in time and called for help to put it out. However, some materials had already been destroyed, or the order of the drafts had been disrupted, and the archives were a mess of water stains. After the cause of the fire and the results of the accident were reported to the school, the school only instructed Yang Wenjing to do remedial work as soon as possible.

This unfortunate Yang Wenjing was left behind at the school. She had no one and no money, but she needed to quickly assess the losses and

organize everything that needed to be done. She was frantic and didn't know what to do.

Normally, it would be easy to ask students for help. But because it was the New Year period, teachers and students had all left the school, and some even lived far away, making it impossible to find anyone at the last minute.

When Yang Wenjing talked to her friend Su Xiaoxiao about this, she was full of helplessness. The school only asked her to solve it, but didn't say how. Even a skilled cook can't cook without ingredients; just organizing the data was a massive undertaking.

Su Xiaoxiao was also a teacher at the same school, but her family was from out of town, so she couldn't help much. So she came up with a solution: "Are you stupid? Ask someone for help! I'll tell you, isn't that tall, thin Mr. Fu from the Computer Science department from Jiangzhou? Ask him to come help you, so you won't be overwhelmed. I've met him; he's a good person, he'll definitely come. Hey, do you think we might just become a couple?"

"You're always daydreaming, but I really have to thank you this time. Xiaoxiao, do another good deed, give me his phone number too."

Fu Youkang frowned at the mess in the office, then relaxed, and immediately said, "I submitted a report to the higher-ups, requesting that a local student from the Design Department come to the school to help for a couple of days."

And so, the scene at the beginning unfolded.

By the time half the work was completed, it was already dark.

Yang Wenjing touched her empty wallet and said shyly, "Thank you all for your hard work today. How about I treat

you all to karaoke or a meal?" "Who's relying on your meal? No thanks, we're all so tired, I'd better go home and rest," a girl said irritably.

"Ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute." Fu Youkang called out to everyone with a smile, "I just brought a big bag of zodiac dolls from home. They're all handmade, brought back by my friend from his trip. Everyone can take one, it's a good omen, right? I heard they've been blessed, they can make beautiful ladies even more beautiful and handsome gentlemen even more handsome. Ladies, take at least one. Handsome gentlemen, if you don't like one, take it home and give it to your girlfriend, she'll give you a sweet kiss in return."

"Teacher Fu, you're so naughty, I want one."

"I'll choose one..."

"Me too, me too..."

Sang Rou looked at the various lifelike zodiac dolls in the pocket, each about the size of two palms, some standing, some squatting, some grinning, some adorably silly... Sang Rou was completely charmed. She smiled and said, "Teacher Fu, can I take two?"

Teacher Fu opened the pocket for her to choose, "Take whichever you like."

Sang Rou chose one for herself and one for her brother, and left happily.

On the sidewalk, Yang Wenjing said apologetically, "Professor Fu is really resourceful; it seems like no one really wants to talk to me."

"Anyone wouldn't be happy to come back to school to work during the New Year holiday, you're overthinking it. Speaking of which, I'm annoyed by this too."

"I'm sorry, you're not in the design department, yet I asked you to help. And in the end, you even had to spend money." "

Since I'm already here," Professor Fu said nonchalantly.

"By the way, you bought those dolls at a boutique, right? Professor Fu, give me the receipts, maybe I can get reimbursed by the school when classes start." Yang Wenjing said, thinking she was being considerate.

"...My girlfriend gave them to me, they're really handmade dolls. I don't know where she brought so many back, they've been sitting here with me. I was going to throw them away anyway, so this is a good opportunity to give them away."

"Ah...your girlfriend will be very angry when she finds out."

"It's okay, we've already broken up."

Yang Wenjing was embarrassed, feeling even more ashamed.

Outside the school gate, Sang Rou called out to the two walking side-by-side.

"Teacher Fu, Teacher Xie, want to get in? It's on the way."

Sang Pei sat in the driver's seat, and Sang Rou sat in the passenger seat; he was there to pick her up.

Fu Youkang and Yang Wenjing both declined.

Watching the car disappear into the dust, Yang Wenjing couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, there are so many rich students at our school. Like Sang Rou, it seems like every time someone picks her up, it's a luxury car."

"It's alright, Teacher Yang, aren't you also in the design department?"

"Yes."

Yang Wenjing replied dejectedly. 01-15 92. Sick

Yang Wenjing stirred the mung bean porridge in the small pot listlessly. She didn't use much force, and her eyes darted around, clearly lost in thought.

She was indeed a design graduate, but her family wasn't wealthy. When filling out her university application, her teacher thought she had talent in this area and strongly encouraged her to apply to design. Her brother also wanted her to study, saying he could afford it. Because she also liked design, she agreed. Unexpectedly, the tuition and fees at university were even heavier than anticipated. My brother had the hardest time, and my sister-in-law even argued with him several times about supporting her studies. Fortunately, she graduated and stayed on as a faculty member.

My brother also entrusted his young niece, who was about to start elementary school, to her care, so she has been raising her niece for the past two years.

A faint cough came from the small bedroom, so low and weak that it was almost inaudible unless you listened carefully. Startled, she quickly turned off the gas and ran into the bedroom.

Yang Wen smiled when she saw Yang Wenjing enter: "Auntie, have you had lunch?"

"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?"

Yang Wenjing touched Yang Wen's forehead with concern. "It's all my fault. I was so busy at school today and neglected you. I forgot to put on extra clothes."

"I...cough cough, no, it's nothing, cough cough..."

Although only eight years old and still in elementary school, little Yang Wen was already very sensible.

"Stop talking." Yang Wenjing stopped her niece, tears welling in her eyes.

Her brother had entrusted his daughter to her, and she hadn't taken good care of Wenjing; she felt utterly guilty.

"Come on, let's go to the hospital first."

Yang Wenjing draped a small coat over her niece and carried her into the snow-covered street.

During the Spring Festival, the hospital was even busier than Yang Wenjing had imagined. However, with the flu season approaching and temperatures fluctuating, the number of patients was only increasing,

while the number of doctors was far from meeting the demand. Yang Wenjing waited in line for a long time, but the line barely moved. Yang Wenjing's face grew increasingly flushed, and her breathing became rapid.

Yang Wenjing panicked and suddenly remembered Fu Youkang. In this desperate situation, she could only try anything.

"Teacher Fu, could you please do me a favor? My niece is sick, but there are so many people with colds and flu these days, and the nearby hospitals are overcrowded. Could you please recommend a hospital? I'm so sorry, I really don't know Jiangzhou very well."

Yang Wenjing finished her long plea without taking a breath, as if afraid the other party wouldn't agree.

Fu Youkang was playing mahjong with his friends, and they were talking about Sang Peiwei and others who were a few years younger than them. Fu Youkang had lost interest when one of his friends at the next table started talking about his girlfriend, a minor celebrity. This was the perfect excuse.

"Where are you?"

"Kangda Hospital." Yang Wenjing's tone was cheerful.

Fu Youkang greeted his friend and was about to leave.

"Who is it?" a man asked, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

"A troublesome new woman at school. She somehow got my number and keeps calling me. It's annoying."

"Just ignore her."

"We're from the same school, give her some face."

"Youkang, you've ruined this." The man laughed loudly.

"Haha, have fun, everyone."

Knowing the other party had misunderstood, Fu Youkang didn't want to explain anymore.

At the hospital, after making arrangements, Fu Youkang waited outside with Yang Wenjing.

Yang Wenjing secretly glanced at him, feeling a chill as she looked at his cold profile.

"I'm sorry."

"Can't you say something more than those three words?" Fu Youkang said without any gentlemanly manners.

"...And thank you."

She didn't know what else to say, because she might have disturbed his wonderful evening, but if she hadn't been forced to, she would never have bothered him.

"You're so annoying," Fu Youkang said irritably, suddenly changing the subject. "Is this really your niece? I wouldn't be surprised if you said she was your daughter."

Yang Wenjing was a little confused by his train of thought, but she immediately stammered back, "She really is my niece."

Did she look that old? Yang Wen was already eight years old, so wouldn't she be at least thirty? But she was actually only twenty-eight.

"...She's really not easy to tease~~"

Fu Youkang found this woman unfunny, so he stood up and said, "I've already paid the money, you'd better take care of yourself. I'll be going now, bye."

"Bye-bye. Teacher Fu, thank you so much for today... I'll continue to thank you tomorrow."

...The aftermath of the fire was not over yet.

"I really don't like you right now, don't call me at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, I have a bad temper when I wake up..."

Yang Wenjing nodded in agreement, her face flushed.

93. Engagement Announcement

The bustling capital city, dusty and windy.

The northern winter is cold and snowy, water freezes instantly.

In the warm room, Sang Rou breathed softly on the glass, the moisture quickly condensing into mist. She first sketched on the glass from a short distance, then drew two simple smiley faces on the misty surface.

Sang Pei entered the room, slightly bending his head to untie his scarf. He found it amusing to see Sang Rou playing alone.

"So, have you chosen your wedding dress yet?"

"I've got my eye on ten, waiting for you to pick three." Sang Rou turned around and said.

"Then I'll buy them all." The tycoon was spending lavishly.

"You're just throwing money around. Three is enough, I don't want any more. You come with me to choose."

"Alright, alright, my little wife, photos aren't enough, are they? Let's go to the store and try them on to see how they look. Let's go."

He teased her, and she lightly punched his shoulder.

"I've been waiting for you, haven't I? You've been so busy as soon as we got here, it's so annoying."

Sang Pei captured her pink lips and said, "How about I make it up to you tonight?"

Sang Rou glanced at her brother, her eyes full of allure.

Inside the spacious Yinyin International Bridal Shop, two or three couples were trying on wedding dresses.

The bride-to-be whispered to her boyfriend, "It's so expensive, let's go to another shop."

Her boyfriend replied in a similarly soft voice, "It's okay, it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, so it has to be expensive. I can afford it if I save up." Their

sweet and secretive manner made Sang Rou, standing nearby, unable to suppress a smile.

Sang Rou whispered to her brother, "Brother, you bought the wedding dress so easily, it makes me feel less happy. Why don't you save some money and buy me a wedding dress too?"

"You're asking for it," Sang Pei said irritably. "Just this pink and white cheongsam and that white wedding dress. You can wear the wedding dress on stage and change into the pink and white cheongsam when you're toasting. Get that light red dress too, you look good in it."

Sang Rou quickly grabbed her brother's arm to appease him, "Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'm so happy today, I want you to come with me somewhere, okay?" After

going through all that trouble, Sang Rou finally said what was on her mind.

Sang Pei glanced at her, a half-smile on his face, "Where to?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just come with me."

Sang Rou was a little nervous. She led her brother to the entrance of a small supermarket, where a sunny teenager was playing soccer.

She took a deep breath, went into the supermarket, and bought a lot of expensive things, sweeping through the small store with an air of urgency.

At the counter, the shop owner was happily scanning barcodes on each item when a big customer approached. Suddenly, Sang Rou said, "This is my husband. We're getting married soon."

The shop owner nodded repeatedly, saying, "You two look so well-matched. You'll definitely be very happy."

"Thank you for your blessing. We definitely will be happy," Sang Rou said, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Mom." Sang Rou could only whisper the name in her heart. Her parents had been separated for many years since moving from Jiangzhou to Kyoto in her previous life, and both had become completely different people. But her mother remained the same, working diligently and living earnestly.

Time, why can't you slow down? You've turned my mother's hair white, and she's no longer young.

Sang Rou carried a small bag, while Sang Pei carried a large bag as they walked along the road.

"Why are you doing such a strange thing?" Sang Pei asked calmly.

"Because I'm happy. I want everyone to know we're getting married, to share in the good fortune," Sang Rou said playfully

. "You're lying," Sang Pei asserted.

"Ugh, if you know I'm lying, don't call me out on it. It's so embarrassing."

"Why does that woman look so familiar? Have I seen her before?"

Sang Rou's heart skipped a beat. No way! That was so long ago. She had only taken him to see her mother when he was very young. She hadn't expected him to still remember it.

Sang Rou feigned surprise, "Oh, so you know them? You should have said hello earlier."

"Never mind, I won't make things difficult for you."

Sang Pei shook his head, chuckled, and didn't pursue the matter further.

Their hands, tightly clasped, swayed back and forth.

Sang Rou said, "...Brother, I don't want the compensation you promised. How about inviting that family to Jiangzhou for my engagement ceremony? Actually, you lied to me. I know those three people. That aunt helped me when I was very young, and I'm a grateful person, so I've always remembered her."

Having received a little, she wanted more. Originally, she only wanted her parents to know she was getting married, but now she wanted them to attend her wedding.

"Invite them if you want. Just come up with a good excuse. People won't attend without a reason, but compensation is absolutely necessary."

Sang Rou returned the favor, saying seductively, "Then please make sure you compensate me properly, very properly."

94. Numb and tingling (spicy)

The pitch-black underground parking lot was extremely quiet. Rows of luxury cars were neatly arranged, and in the deepest darkness, a rustling sound stood out starkly.

The vast parking lot echoed with a desolate silence.

"Brother, it's just a few steps upstairs, let's go back to our room,"

Sang Rou said, engaged in a difficult battle of wits with her brother. When he tried to unbutton her clothes, she immediately grabbed his hand to stop him; when he tried to kiss her neck, she pushed his head away.

She had agreed to his "compensation," but not to meet him in the parking lot.

The underground parking lot of a five-star hotel was the kind of place where cars would come no matter how late, mostly from well-known but distant acquaintances. If she were discovered, she'd never be able to face anyone again; she might as well just buy a block of tofu and kill herself.

"I like it, right here,"

Sang Pei said, his every move blocked by Sang Rou's hands. He then bit her soft, white hand. This tactic of fighting fire with fire proved too much for Sang Rou to resist.

Sang Pei grabbed her left hand and pinned it behind her back, while simultaneously sucking on her right fingers, starting with her little finger and nibbling at each joint, much more meticulously than when eating a pig's trotter. They say the ten fingers are connected to the heart, and the delicate nibbling on her skin was so clear, a fine, tingling sensation traveling from Sang Rou's fingertips to her heart, eliciting a sweet, muffled groan.

"—What if someone sees us?" Sang Rou tried to stay calm, but in reality, she had to press her toes firmly against the cold floor to keep from falling.

"I'll block you," Sang Pei answered, licking her sensitive palm.

Good heavens, Sang Rou had never known her palms could be so sensitive.

"No, what if it's a woman? She'll see everything! I'll be at a disadvantage!"

"Then cooperate."

Sang Rou was about to say something when her brother covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh, be good." He made a shushing gesture.

As he spoke, Sang Pei squatted down and unbuttoned Sang Rou's pure blue jeans. He didn't actually pull them off completely, just unbuttoned one end, and then directly slipped his rough hand inside, covering Sang Rou's sensitive vulva entirely.

"Why is it only a little wet?" Sang Pei asked, somewhat dissatisfied. His hand kneaded through the thin, soft fabric, trying to squeeze out more lubricating fluid.

Sang Rou's legs trembled from the overwhelming pleasure, and she had to bend over slightly and press her brother's shoulder to steady herself.

"Brother, I'm still a little scared. Let's go back, please," Sang Rou's voice began to tremble with sobs.

"Okay, okay, we'll go back right away,"

Sang Pei replied insincerely, standing up as he unzipped his pants, pulling out his enormous member and lightly touching Sang Rou's vulva. His massive member didn't directly touch her delicate vulva, but rather, through the thin fabric, he used his large head to tease the petals of her vulva as if scratching an itch through a boot.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Sang Rou's lower body was soaking wet. Even through the thin fabric, Sang Pei could feel the powerful contractions of her vaginal walls.

Such a wonderful experience was too good to pass up. He parted the bottom of Sang Rou's wet pants and forcefully thrust his thick, hard member inside, tearing open her vulva.

The tender inner walls contracted sharply, and Sang Pei felt a slight pain from the tightness.

"Baby, hold on tight, don't let me fall down," he said, patting her pink buttocks.

In the dark and silent space, Sang Rou's coat could be seen being taken off and carelessly tossed onto the hood of the car, but her jeans were still hanging around her ankles, not completely removed. And, surprisingly, even her underwear hadn't been taken off; only the crotch was slightly parted, and her brother was forcibly entering her from the front.

"Waaah, you lied to me, umm... what am I supposed to do like this, umm..." Sang Rou said awkwardly, filled with shame, reluctance, and the embarrassment of being discovered. At the same time, a secret desire arose within her, her small mouth panting softly. She wanted him to stop being so rough, yet secretly hoped he would stop and push harder.

"Sweetie, sweetie, just bear with it a little longer. I'll make it up to you and then I'll carry you home, okay?" Sang Pei was already immersed in the gentle warmth, and it was rare for him to spare a thought to comfort her with sweet words.

"I'll never believe you again, you big liar, ah, no, no, it's going in, it hurts..." Sang Rou complained, sounding like she was in pain.

A surge of rage welled up in Sang Pei's heart, and his hard member thrust deeply and fiercely. "If you don't believe me, who else can you believe, huh?"

"Ugh, ah... Brother, be gentle with me, don't be too rough, it hurts so much, sob sob..."

With her brother's fierce thrusts, Sang Rou felt an unbearable ache and itchiness, hoping that her brother would be more gentle with her and relieve the unbearable itch.

"Is it a tingling and sour feeling? Silly girl, how can you say it hurts when you feel so good? Isn't this cheating me?"

He had guessed right.

95. Spring Scenery in the Parking Lot (Spicy)

A bright yellow light shone into the parking lot, and a bright-colored luxury sports car slowly drove in. Sang Pei suddenly covered Sang Rou's lips. Her body stiffened, and her buttocks trembled violently with fear, and her hot passage tightened even more. Neither of them moved, but their connected parts were tightly sealed together, and the soft inner walls seemed to have countless thirsty little mouths, doing their best to gnaw and suck on the huge root.

A surge of ruthlessness welled up in Sang Pei's heart. He hated the insatiable lust of her little cunt, yet he also hated himself for being forever attracted to her. He wanted to forcefully destroy her, but seeing her furrowed brows, an uncontrollable pity spread through his heart.

The feeling of loving someone is so complex, a mixture of love and hate, where success and destruction are separated by a single thought.

Afraid of being discovered, Sang Rou wished she could dig a hole and disappear on the spot.

The car stopped, and the people inside gradually left. Sang Pei then released his hand from Sang Rou's grasp. Sang Rou took a few deep breaths of fresh air, her tender walls contracting with each breath, writhing against his hard yet fragile member. Sang Pei thrust his hips upwards at an angle, and Sang Rou felt an unbearable tingling sensation in her lower back, as if countless ants were crawling on it. Her legs gave way, and she fell backward onto the car hood.

Sang Pei quickly wrapped an arm around Sang Rou's waist and helped her up.

With a twist, Sang Pei and Sang Rou switched places; Sang Pei sat on the smooth car hood, lifting Sang Rou onto his lap as well.

He had initially thought this position would be very difficult to penetrate, but to his surprise, Sang Rou squatted on the car hood with her legs wide open, one hand supporting her brother's shoulder for balance, the other parting the bottom of her panties. With a slight aim,

her vulva spontaneously opened wide, allowing his massive penis to enter. Sang Rou let out a soft, delicate moan, as melodious and alluring as a nightingale, swaying her hips and writhing wantonly against her brother's body.

Occasionally, Sang Pei would thrust his hips forward, welcoming Sang Rou's offered vulva.

The passionate moans grew more frequent, occasionally mingling with the rough male voice and the soft female voice. The passion surged so quickly; despite the slightly cool weather, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Sang Rou's forehead, clinging to her delicate face. Tempted, Sang Pei slightly raised his upper body and licked away the thin layer of sweat with his tongue.

"Mmm, brother, it's hot..." Sang Rou whimpered, her starry eyes wide.

"Then take it off."

On the hood, Sang Rou straightened her upper body, pushing her top and bra up to her armpits, revealing a glimpse of her fair and tender skin. The intoxicating aroma of flesh wafted over, and Sang Pei took a deep breath, inhaling the tempting scent. He cupped her full breasts in his hands, pressing and kneading her nipples with his palms, then pinching and lifting them with his fingers, letting them fall heavily. He played with them like this several times, until the nipples bounced and turned a deep, blood-red color, as if they would bleed if pricked with a needle.

Sang Pei whispered in Sang Rou's ear, "How about I play with your little nipples with my mouth?"

He then buried his head between Sang Rou's breasts, his dark head bobbing against her chest.

Sang Rou cried out intermittently, "Oh, brother, don't bite the tip, it'll hurt... mmm..."

Sang Pei chuckled, cupping her buttocks with both hands and moving more vigorously, "You're moaning so well, say some more..."

Sang Rou bent down and buried her head in her brother's shoulder, biting his strong shoulder, her eyes filled with seductive allure, "You just like to tease me about this..."

"I just like to tease you like this, I wouldn't even be happy to tease other women." Sang Pei laughed lewdly.

Sang Rou, like a little animal guarding its food, lightly bit her lower lip, threatening, "You dare..."

Seeing her playful and mischievous appearance, the love in Sang Pei's heart surged like a flood breaking through a dam.

96. A Pool of Spring Water (Spicy)

Sang Rou was extremely cooperative. When her brother told her to move herself, she spread her legs and shook her buttocks. When her brother told her to stick her buttocks up, she obediently turned around, pressed her waist down, and stuck her buttocks up high, waiting for her brother's favor...

Her long hair, which was originally coiled into a scorpion braid, had come loose in the heat of lovemaking, becoming a loose braid. One of her pearl earrings had also fallen off, but she didn't notice at all. She was only concerned with shaking her head and swaying her buttocks, panting softly, while the beautiful waves of her breasts in front of her were even more captivating.

Sang Pei pinched and squeezed her wanton breasts, so that these damned white jades would no longer disturb his mind. He knelt on the hood of the car and entered her from behind, thrusting and pounding hard. Her snowy buttocks were completely exposed to the air, a large wet patch, and the skin in the very center was still slightly red, which was not hard to imagine was caused by something hitting her.

Sang Pei couldn't bear to watch. She was half-clothed, pinned against the car hood, being forcefully penetrated by him. Her snow-white skin gleamed silvery-white in the darkness. Her white shirt and bra were pushed up to her armpits, and her thin panties, deemed cumbersome, were eventually removed. This small, lewd piece of fabric was rolled around her right ankle, her round, white toes curling tightly into a beautiful arch.

Sang Rou, unable to contain her passion, buried her face in her arms, her body going limp like a pool of spring water. Deep inside, she felt a tingling, itchy sensation from her brother's penetration, trembling uncontrollably. The heat traveled from his fiery member to her core, spreading to her limbs, her spine softening.

Sang Pei said as he continued, "Call me husband."

He lightly pecked her smooth, white face, enveloping her in a gentle web, tempting her to say what she wanted to hear.

"Mmm... Brother..." Sang Rou waved her hands, refusing.

"What's wrong? You're always calling me 'good brother' and 'bad brother,' but you get shy just saying 'husband'?" Sang Pei laughed.

Sang Rou whimpered, too ashamed to look at him, "No... well, we're not married yet."

"Good wife, just say it once, I want to hear you say it."

"Husband...husband..." Sang Rou was overwhelmed with shame, her soft body slumped into her brother's arms, softly uttering the two repeated words.

Sang Pei, amused, became even more obsessed, pressing against that crucial little piece of flesh, gently stroking and poking it.

That was the most sensitive spot on Sang Rou's body, how could it withstand her brother's teasing?

"Hmph...hmph...good brother, let me go, you're going to crush me down there."

He entered very deeply, penetrating her body, possessing not only her body, but also her once helpless heart.

"Let me try...it didn't break, it's even biting me tighter." Sang Pei feigned surprise.

Sang Rou's body convulsed with desire, sometimes fast, sometimes slow. She cried out incoherently, the itchy, tingling sensation surging from deep within her body almost killing her.

"Ouch!" Sang Rou bit her brother's hand, "It's all your fault, all your fault! You made my body so wanton, you have to make it up to me!"

Sang Rou's coquettishness and adoration captivated Sang Pei, drawing half his soul away.

The lubricating fluid between their joined bodies, under the relentless pounding of the massive rod, turned into tiny white foams, accidentally smearing various parts of their bodies.

Suddenly, Sang Rou's starry eyes widened, her legs kicking wildly, her inner walls contracting and convulsing with all their might. Sang Pei thrust upwards several times, hard and forcefully against her clitoris, pressing against the ever-shrinking clitoris, enjoying the rapid and greedy massage of the soft inner walls.

Sang Pei tilted his head back in ecstasy, his strong hands pressing down on Sang Rou's trembling body.

Is there any other such ultimate enjoyment in the world? Soul and spirit scattered, body and mind no longer under one's own control, wandering aimlessly between heaven and earth, yearning for life yet also for death—even ascension to immortality is no more exhilarating.

Even if there were, he wouldn't want more. One treasure is enough.

97. Even with nothing left

, Sang Pei wrapped his pure black coat around Sang Rou's limp body, lifting her with one hand and fumbling for the car's interior light with the other.

The dim, yellowish light was somewhat eerie in the darkness. Sang Rou closed her eyes tightly, feeling a chill spreading in the air, and clung tightly to her brother's neck.

Sang Pei sensed her fear and patted her back gently in a comforting manner.

Sang Rou lay on the seat, her delicate brows slightly furrowed. Perhaps something was wrong; she shifted her body and slowly opened her eyes, her luscious red lips parting slightly. Because of the fiery passion just now, her throat was now so dry she couldn't speak.

She couldn't say it, so she could only do it. And this was something she had to do.

Her hand struggled to reach the front seat of the car, shoving the entire box of tissues into her brother's hand.

"The...the hood...is dirty, remember to wipe it clean."

Sang Pei chuckled softly, pinching her delicate nose with a mixture of pity and affection.

"You, you're always worrying about everything, you're not destined for a life of comfort. How could I forget something like this?"

"...And the security cameras..."

"Since I dared to do it, of course I avoided the cameras. Don't worry, don't be afraid."

He was so audacious; he wasn't truly fearless.

Sang Rou was truly exhausted and had no energy to pay attention to him. She closed her starry eyes and drifted off to sleep in the car seat.

In her hazy state, she knew that her brother had carried her out of the car, then they went up the elevator, and then...and then, she passed out, her memory fragmented, knowing nothing more.

The warm, thick quilt wrapped her tightly, making her feel as comfortable as if she were walking in the clouds. When Sang Rou peeked out from under the quilt, she heard indistinct voices coming from the living room.

The voices were very soft. The bedroom and living room were already separated by a thick wall, and the other person was speaking in a low voice. Because of this, Sang Rou only knew the other person was talking, but not what they were saying.

She got out of bed without slippers and tiptoed to the bedroom door to eavesdrop on the sounds coming from the living room.

"The engagement can wait, but if it's a wedding, I'll go with her to Paris to have her wedding dress made." She recognized the voice; it was her brother.

"...I might be sorry to say this, Xiao Rou, but are you really sure? The Luo family proposed a marriage alliance with you today after much consideration. Only marriage can foster closer ties and build trust." She also recognized this; it was Wei Xuan.

Damn it, he actually dared to encourage her brother to marry someone else. Sang Rou cursed Wei Xuan fiercely in her heart.

"My decision will never change. Ah Xuan, she gave me everything she had, I can't and won't let her lose everything."

"Even if you lose everything, even if you lose everything you have, even if your ambitions can never be realized..."

"Yes, as long as I live, I will not let her down. I have ambition, but compared to that, she is more important."

Wei Xuan pondered for a moment.

"...Okay, I understand. You really are my brother, I didn't misjudge you. I'll cover for you from now on."

"Thanks, brother."

"Brothers are for doing things like this."

"Then Rou'er will be up soon, you should go now. Remember not to let her know about this, she likes to overthink."

"Hey, you can't be so quick to kick me away." Wei Xuan's voice suddenly rose a notch, then he realized it and immediately lowered it, making a gesture to Sang Pei, "I know, shh..."

Knowing that Wei Xuan was leaving, Sang Rou quickly tiptoed back to bed, pretending to be asleep.

Sure enough, a moment later, her brother entered the bedroom, stood by the bed for a while, and then snuggled into Sang Rou's blankets.

"Silly girl, the blankets are a bit cold," Sang Pei sighed.

98. Little Snowball (Micro)

In the Thai-style bedroom, everything was dominated by yellow and red, with bold and unrestrained furnishings, successfully mimicking the exotic atmosphere of this hotel.

On the spacious and warm bed, Sang Rou rolled around like a little snowball into her brother's arms.

Sang Pei knew she wasn't asleep, so he stroked her long hair and asked softly, "If I had nothing, where would you want to go with me?"

Sang Rou hesitated for a moment, then laughed carefree and happily, "Abroad."

"No, going abroad costs money. I won't have a penny then," Sang Pei shook his head, feigning nonchalance.

"It's okay, little sister, I have money. My money is all overseas; they can't reach that far. I'll take care of you," Miss Sang said, patting her chest confidently.

"Wouldn't that make me lose face?" Sang Pei feigned a sigh.

"Then... let's find a remote rural area, buy a house, buy a piece of land, you till the land and I'll weave cloth," Miss Sang hesitated.

"Oh, that costs money, doesn't it? Besides, you can't even hold a needle." "

Who said that? I can hold a needle! I even sewed buttons for you when you were little!" Miss Sang's eyes widened in anger, as if this concerned her personal dignity.

"Yes, so what if you can hold a needle? So you sewed the buttons on my shirt! I thought some servant was so bad at

sewing." Sang Rou realized her brother was being sarcastic and glared at him fiercely.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Anyway, you promised to marry me this year, and I don't care, I'm determined to marry you this year."

"What a fierce woman," Sang Pei laughed. "It would be even better if we could get married smoothly... If not, just listen to me, do whatever I say, okay? Don't feel wronged or sad, because I'm ultimately doing this for our future."

After Sang Rou nodded, Sang Pei remembered something else.

"Right, come with me to see Luo Bairong tomorrow."

"I'm not going. I thought she was approachable, but I didn't expect her to have her eye on my man and try to trip me up."

This won't do. Sang Rou turned around angrily, leaving her beautiful back to her brother.

Sang Pei comforted Sang Rou, supporting her rounded shoulders, "It's because we entertained her when she came to Jiangzhou that she insisted on being a good host this time. I'm not interested in her, and I'm afraid she's not interested in me either. What kind of woman is she? She has plenty of men fawning over her, all of them rich and powerful, and she probably wouldn't even look at me. Let's just go have some fun, it'll look better on the surface."

Sang Rou pouted and said, "Then you can't look at her. If I find you glancing at her, I'll rip your eyes out."

"You're really jealous. Can I consider returning you?" He kissed her soft, black hair, burying his face in it and inhaling its fragrance.

"You think you can return something after you've opened the package? Don't even think about it."

His words were extremely ambiguous. Holding a hot and beautiful woman in his arms, how could he not be moved? His desire surged, and his manhood swelled.

Sang Pei pinned Sang Rou down beneath him, biting her rosy earlobe. "Now that the packaging's open, I'll have to try it a few more times to make a profit."

"Get away! What kind of cunning merchant are you, unwilling to suffer even a little loss?"

He then bit her soft, fragrant lips. "Of course, if I didn't cheat you, how would you end up in my hands?"

His words were double-edged, and Sang Rou, blushing uncontrollably, teased his massive member with her toes. "If you keep being so naughty, see how I deal with you."

Sang Pei found her blushing, teasing manner exceptionally adorable, and tenderly pecked her lips a few more times.

"Little sister, I'm sick, it hurts so much down there, come and cure me."

This guy is so shameless, always twisting her words.

99. The Heat Intensifies

After a night of commotion, Sang Rou drifted off to sleep again, nestled in her brother's arms.

The next day, the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly, illuminating the earth. The forest was a scene of lush greenery, abundant foliage, and butterflies and birds singing, a testament to the return of spring.

Sang Pei drove his SUV toward Zhan Bairong's villa. The road was bumpy, and birdsong filled the air, chirping and twittering around the transparent windows, occasionally pecking at them. Sang Rou, seeing the birds' fearlessness, found it charming and rolled down the window to lure them in, but they quickly flew away in small groups.

In front of the villa's gilded iron gate, more than a dozen gleaming sports cars were parked.

Everyone saw Sang Pei, wearing a thin gray sweater, get out of the driver's seat, followed closely by Sang Rou, wearing a fitted black knee-length skirt, her light gray, irregularly shaped long-sleeved shirt tucked into the skirt.

A gentle spring breeze kissed her skirt and hair, making her radiant as spring blossoms and as bright as the autumn moon. Her clear eyes and charming smile were captivating.

It was clearly a brother-sister outfit, or perhaps a couple's outfit.

Several dissolute third-generation scions of powerful families whistled loudly, their thumbs and index fingers to their lips, in a gesture of enthusiastic welcome.

Luo Bairong approached, smiling, "You two are dressed so beautifully, you've outshone us all. What are we going to do? You should be punished. You'll have to wait with me for another person."

Luo Bairong didn't say who they were waiting for, and Sang Pei didn't ask either. They then chatted casually with the people around them about trivial matters. They were all seasoned veterans of the power circle, and not a single word of their true feelings was spoken.

Luo Bairong introduced the other girls present to Sang Rou.

In less than ten minutes, a black German Maybach 62s smoothly glided in front of them.

The true identity of the driver was revealed.

His driving skills matched his appearance; the man looked to be only in his early thirties, yet he was already very calm and reserved. Sang Rou sized him up. She could tell he was a man who had long been giving orders, yet his brow was relatively smooth, suggesting a gentle nature, a dislike of temper, or perhaps a reserved nature. He was slender, tall, with thick eyebrows, handsome but not dissolute. His clothes were also a classic, tailored suit. Sang Rou wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt a strange sense of familiarity, a strange warmth.

"Let me introduce you, this is my new friend, Li Jingyao, who just returned from overseas," Zhan Bairong said, clapping her hands. She wore a smart red suit, exuding the air of a hostess. "It's a small party for friends, I hope you won't mind. Make sure you eat and drink well, or I won't forgive you!"

Outside, there was a swimming pool, a sizzling barbecue grill, and a constant stream of buffet food. Beyond the courtyard lay a lush, verdant forest. The hostess had perfectly captured the current desire to reconnect with nature while remaining attached to the conveniences of modern life.

Sang Rou had been observing the gathering with a detached attitude, so the three or four hours passed uneventfully, without any surprises or excitement.

After the gathering, the green trees rushed past, and looking at the unfamiliar scenery outside the window, Sang Rou asked in surprise, "Brother, aren't we going back to the hotel?"

"Yes, come with me to see someone." Sang Pei gripped the steering wheel tightly, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice.

They arrived at a farmhouse restaurant with a flowing stream and built with bamboo and wood as building materials. Sang Pei pulled Sang Rou's hand and led her directly to a secluded private room on the third floor.

Sang Rou's eyes widened in surprise.

Inside was Li Jingyao, whom she had met for the first time that day. He must have come directly here after the gathering as well, judging from the steaming tea on the table.

Sang Pei pressed Sang Rou's shoulder to make her sit down and whispered in her ear, "I'll go out and get you some pastries." Then he left.

It was clearly intentional; she had just eaten, how could she eat again so quickly?

Inside the room, the bamboo windows were elegant, and the bamboo wind chimes tinkled. Only the two people who had just met remained; perhaps, only Sang Rou thought so.

Li Jingyao picked up the teacup and poured Sang Rou a cup of green tea, saying gently, "Was he good to you? He's Sang Pei; I've heard of him since America."

"You…"

The question was abrupt, and Sang Rou didn't know how to respond.

"By the way, Xiao Rou, you've probably forgotten me, haven't you? You were so young then. Do you remember Aunt Bei? Her husband's surname was Li; she was my mother." Li Jingyao spoke with his usual calmness, his voice clear and soothing, like a cool breeze.

Sang Rou parted her lips slightly, then immediately denied it, "Aunt Bei had no son."

Although she was young when she was reborn, she already possessed the judgment of an adult and roughly knew that Aunt Bei's husband was dead and childless. Otherwise, she wouldn't have so decisively and without any attachments jumped to her death.

"I'm a posthumous child, adopted by my uncle at birth. I've lived in America since I was little, so I've always called her Aunt. I have a complete identity document here; take a look." Li Jingyao took a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Sang Rou.

Sang Rou flipped through a few pages and was already mostly convinced, or more precisely, she believed her brother.

Her brother had brought her here.

"I'm sorry." Thinking of Aunt Bei's death, Sang Rou felt guilty and apologized to Li Jingyao.

"It's alright, that was her own choice. She was a loyal servant, willing to give up her own son for her master. What is death... I'm sorry, may I have a cigarette?" Li Jingyao's voice lowered as he spoke of his pain.

Sang Rou nodded.

In the swirling smoke, white smoke rings drifted upwards, blurring their faces.

"Actually, it was Sang Pei who contacted me. He wanted my help. My mother... my aunt called me before she died, asking me to keep an eye on you and help you secretly. You were probably too young then to know, but the struggle between the various collateral branches for your parents' inheritance had reached a fever pitch. We were too weak to help much at the time."

"From what I've heard, your childhood, though slightly turbulent, was generally smooth sailing. That's why I didn't show up, not wanting to disturb your life. When you were five, your nanny neglected you, and Sang Pei replaced her with a new one. When you were ten, you were bullied by classmates, and Sang Pei helped you get revenge. At that time, I thought you wouldn't need me anymore. But a few months later, Sang Pei contacted me again, asking for my help. We talked for a long time. The more I learned about him, the more I admired him. He's responsible and has a strong sense of duty. He knows you're his person, so he's protecting you. Entrusting you to him is also fulfilling my aunt's last wish."

Li Jingyao suddenly changed the subject, speaking seriously to Sang Rou: "Sang Rou, please get engaged to me."

"Ah..."

Sang Rou was slightly startled; the situation had taken a dramatic turn.

"It's just a fake marriage. Right now, all eyes are on you and Sang Pei. He just needs someone to take the blame, and I, being engaged to you, am undoubtedly the best choice. Don't worry, there won't even be an engagement banquet; it's just a public announcement." "

But I'm about to get engaged to my brother, and our sibling relationship on the household registration will be dissolved. Uncle Sang and Aunt Sang have both agreed, so why bother?"

"The Zhan family has their eye on Sang Pei and wants him as their son-in-law. They want to use your sibling relationship on the household registration to their advantage. Words are meaningless; for their own benefit, they can immediately go back on their word. Because this is a power transaction, neither Sang Pei nor Zhan Bairong has the power to make their own decisions. Do you think Sang Pei's parents are really that kind? It's a miracle you're still alive."

"Even if I agree to cooperate, what then? People will be suspicious. This is our first meeting today." Sang Rou was incredulous, her hands clenched tightly together on her knees.

"So, from today onwards, I've fallen in love with you at first sight and will pursue you passionately," Li Jingyao said firmly, his gaze sharp and unwavering.

"Wait... let me think about it, let me think about it."

100. Heartbreaking

A vast expanse of thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing an unbelievably beautiful fairyland. Exotic flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, butterflies kissed the bright petals, ladybugs crawled slowly across the green leaves, and the fresh, slightly earthy scent wafted through the air. The ethereal air refracted a kaleidoscope of colors.

She wanted to break free, to escape, knowing it was all an illusion, yet she couldn't escape—this was a dream.

That feeling of powerlessness, so deeply bound.

Sang Rou stood atop a towering, steep mountain peak, looking around blankly, unsure of her surroundings, until she saw the thin string clutched in her hand, realizing she was flying a kite on a lush green meadow.

Something was missing. She looked around again, bewildered. The terrain was extremely high, the mountain walls steep and jagged, the summit a flat meadow. Looking out, everything was clearly visible.

She racked her brains before remembering that there should be someone beside her, that person… But the person who had always been by her side was nowhere to be found.

She ran across the hilltop, holding the thin string of a kite in her hand.

Suddenly, she tripped over a pebble while running too fast. Stumbling, she leaned forward and fell awkwardly into the earth's embrace. Her

wrist loosened its grip, and the kite, now free, drifted upwards, growing smaller and smaller until it disappeared.

But there was no one there to comfort her, no one to hold her.

She felt so wronged.

Why had she been so pampered, unable to bear even the slightest pain and bursting into tears? She wasn't like this before.

It was all that person's fault.

But who was that person? She couldn't remember.

In that instant, her heart ached like a sponge filled with water, ready to overflow at the slightest touch.

Sang Rou's body convulsed on the bed, and she suddenly opened her eyes wide. Touching her forehead, she found it covered in cold sweat. After a long while, she realized she had been dreaming, but she couldn't remember the details.

All she knew was that her heart was heavy.

She carefully turned to look at her brother beside her, moved her body with minimal movement, and gently got out of bed, entering another bathroom outside the bedroom.

When Sang Pei reached out and didn't touch the warm body beside him, he suddenly woke up. He saw the hazy moonlight outside the window, and the beauty beside him was nowhere to be seen.

When Sang Pei found Sang Rou in the room, he only saw her crouching in the bathtub with her arms crossed. Her hair was wet and clung to her face, her thin clothes were half-damp, and her small body was trembling… Her pitiful appearance made his heart clench.

If it weren't for her, he would have almost forgotten what heartache felt like.

"What's wrong?" Sang Pei went over.

Sang Rou covered her face, and tears that she couldn't hold back flowed freely, streaming down her cheeks.

Sang Pei's hand touched Sang Rou's hair and gently touched her cheek.

"Don't worry about me, let me be alone for a while," she said softly, waving his hand away.

"Tell me what's wrong, you're crying." His hand remained unmoved.

"It's my own business if I cry, get out." Sang Rou still refused to look up; this was probably one of her few remaining shreds of self-respect.

Sang Pei pressed her head against his chest, still unwilling to let go.

"I'll say it again, get out." Sang Rou pushed him away forcefully.

"Tell me what you're sad about, okay?" Sang Pei asked softly, gently stroking Sang Rou's back.

Sang Rou was no match for his strength and could only pound his back, "...If you can't do it, don't make promises about marrying me. I also have expectations, I also get disappointed, I also get hurt. What's going on now? If you can't handle it, just push me to another man."

She bit his arm and yelled.

"I said it's only temporary." Sang Pei held down Sang Rou's twisting body, cupping her hands and speaking earnestly.

"...Okay, you go out first, I want to be alone for a while. Can you give me some private space?" Sang Rou turned her face away, speaking seriously.

Sang Pei looked at her quietly for a long time, and finally stepped out of the bathroom.

Sang Rou ran over and locked the door. Her back pressed against the frosted glass, her body unable to support her weight, she slid down.

Sang Pei leaned against the bathroom door, pressed close to Sang Rou's back.

One inside, one outside.

A thin door seemed to suddenly divide them into two worlds.

For the first time, the two were so close, yet their hearts were so far apart.

101. Industry Legend

Some feelings don't fade with time; instead, like a blurred bronze mirror, they become smoother with each passing day. Like familial love, like romantic love, a mixture of many elements, in the end, there's no need to distinguish them; just knowing it's love is enough.

Sang Rou hugged herself and cried in the bathtub, releasing much of her pent-up emotions, and her mood improved.

When she opened the door, she saw her brother squatting on the floor. He was still wearing dark gray pajamas, sitting on the cold floor with one leg bent and the other straight. His颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and a lack of motivation) appearance suggested he

was about to smoke a cigarette.

"The floor is cold, let's go back to bed," Sang Rou said softly, her head bowed. Seeing him like this, she felt bad too. She secretly scolded herself for being so pathetic, feeling more pain for him than for herself.

But they had been together for so long, countless years, that she couldn't even count the passing years.

Sang Pei got up and hugged Sang Rou, gently embracing her head.

"Rou'er, if you want to cry, you must cry in my arms. Seeing you crying alone in the corner, and me being able to do nothing, makes me feel so powerless."

"Mmm," Sang Rou responded softly, burying her face in her brother's neck and taking a deep breath.

She shouldn't have been angry with him; he was suffering too. Sang Rou told herself this; she should be more generous.

Thinking of the hardships her brother had endured over the years, her heart suddenly softened.

Three days later, Sang Rou returned to Jiangzhou, exhausted.

Li Jingyao also came to visit.

Jiangzhou, the Sang residence.

Li Jingyao, the latest rising star in the business world, visited the seasoned veteran, Mr. Sang. They chatted amiably, the old fox and the young fox subtly probing each other.

Sang Rou, having finished her cosmetic procedures, came down from the second floor to greet the guests. She had clearly dressed meticulously today. Sang Pei, wanting to create an opportunity for the two, had gone out early that morning; he had other matters to attend to.

As Sang Rou descended the stairs, she saw Li Jingyao and Uncle Sang chatting and laughing.

Sang Rou wore a lead-white strapless lotus-patterned skirt, with a string of pure, natural ocean pearls around her neck, each one full and identical in size. Her right wrist also wore a matching double-strand pearl bracelet.

She walked down the stairs with perfect straight steps, her skirt swaying like lotus leaves, making her appear even more delicate than a lotus flower.

Mr. Sang stood up and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is my…"

Before he could finish, Li Jingyao appeared absent-minded and lost in thought.

"You… know each other?" Mr. Sang asked, slightly embarrassed.

Li Jingyao nodded. "Yes, we met briefly at a gathering before, but unfortunately I forgot to ask for her contact information. Mr. Sang, is this your Ehime?"

"Yes, as dear as my daughter, Rou Rou, come and greet Mr. Li. You must have heard of Tongda Electronics, right? The new leader in the high-tech industry, Mr. Li is the founder. He's a legend in the industry!" Sang's father beamed.

"It's just an unknown small company, nothing to brag about," Li Jingyao said, perfectly portraying the outward demeanor of someone trying to belittle themselves while inwardly displaying extreme pride upon seeing their beloved.

Li Jingyao's acting was so convincing that if Sang Rou hadn't already known, she probably would have thought he had fallen for her at first sight and become her devoted admirer.

The next day, rumors swirled in the circle.

The online trolls Li Jingyao had sent out had their effect.

102. If life were only as beautiful as the first encounter with

the vibrant pink or red cherry blossoms, burning passionately, such a beautiful scene would be found in the Sang family's back courtyard. Walking here, one couldn't help but feel relaxed and carefree, forgetting to return home.

Sang Rou accompanied Li Jingyao on a stroll along the forest path. As they reached a emerald pond, a clear, melodious voice reciting lessons drifted over, like a gentle breeze.

"This is…?" Li Jingyao turned and asked.

Such loud reading aloud in the back hills of the Sang family estate suggested a very close relationship.

"My younger sister, Sang Qi. She's the real little princess of the Sang family, taking the college entrance exam this year,"

Sang Rou replied with a faint smile.

"You two have a very good relationship,"

Li Jingyao concluded confidently. He had his own unique way of handling things. The affectionate tone in Sang Rou's voice revealed the close bond between the two sisters.

"Yes."

"So many people and things worth cherishing, that's why you refused to leave, isn't it? Although it's cruel, it brings you more beautiful things."

Li Jingyao had once suggested taking Sang Rou to live in America, to escape this mess, but Sang Rou had refused without hesitation. Li Jingyao remembered a sentence Sang Rou had said then: "There are many people and things here that I care about, I won't leave."

She was probably referring not only to Sang Pei, but also to that little girl, Sang Qi.

Sang Rou parted the cherry blossom branches and peeked into the pavilion nestled among the flowers. Sang Qi was sitting there, diligently studying.

Li Jingyao stood behind Sang Rou, following her gaze.

The girl sitting in the pavilion was radiant and elegant, with a beautiful and charming appearance. Her unadorned face was like snow reflecting the morning sun, her skin clear and luminous, her eyebrows like crescent moons, her bright eyes captivating, and she exuded an elegant and leisurely air.

"I originally thought she was an unattractive girl, which is why she wanted to be a successful businesswoman. I didn't expect her to be so good-looking," Li Jingyao said with slight surprise.

Girls from privileged backgrounds often possess an undeniable air of arrogance. Moreover, they prefer to leverage their family connections to obtain more and more powerful resources without much effort.

With such favorable conditions, fewer and fewer people are willing to work hard.

"Shh," Sang Rou put her hand to her mouth to indicate that she shouldn't disturb Sang Qi's studies.

She also gestured for Li Jingyao to leave.

"My sister is a very competitive person. She has her own set goals, so she works harder than most people," Sang Rou explained softly as she strolled along the tree-lined path. "Many times I feel I can't compare to her because I'm much lazier than her."

Although they were quite a distance from the pavilion where Sang Qi was studying, she was still afraid of disturbing her.

Li Jingyao glanced back and nodded. "A person who can stick to their principles amidst so many temptations is bound to be extraordinary."

Although Li Jingyao was praising Sang Qi, Sang Rou felt even happier than if he were praising herself. This must be what it feels like to be with someone special!

"Of course, she's my sister."

Li Jingyao smiled as he looked at Sang Rou's innocent and carefree demeanor.

"Really?"

Sang Rou went to the front yard, and Li Jingyao strolled alone in the backyard. He stopped to watch the cherry blossoms falling from the sky, gazing expectantly at the swaying cherry branches full of hope.

A series of hurried footsteps approached, catching both of them off guard.

Sang Qi blindly stumbled into Li Jingyao's arms.

So hard. Sang Qi touched her sore forehead, lightly biting her lower lip, her cheeks flushed. She looked up and asked, "Who are you? How did you get into my backyard? Didn't anyone guide you?"

Sang Qi looked around, crimson petals kissing her cheek, falling onto the fragrant soil, where he stepped forward and crushed them.

The fragrance of the petals lingered on the soles of his shoes.

If only life could be like the first meeting, may beauty remain as it was.

103. Spring colors fill the garden.

The walls are adorned not only with festive red couplets but also with large, irregular, off-white Western-style abstract ornaments, yet they don't look out of place at all; instead, they possess an aesthetic pleasure, fresh and unconventional, making one feel comfortable and close to nature.

The rooms, thanks to superb design techniques, are interconnected, one space within another, overlapping each other. One could easily fall into the designer's trap if not careful. The continuous archways and corridors, the high ceilings and large windows of the living room, all stir the heart.

Sang Qi sat in the living room, accepted the hot tea Li Jingyao handed her, and nodded and smiled in thanks.

Li Jingyao had invited the three siblings to his home today, and he was cooking for them himself.

Sang Qi found it somewhat amusing to see Li Jingyao wearing a wolf-themed apron and struck up a conversation, "I didn't expect you to cook for yourself."

"I've always been self-sufficient," Li Jingyao said calmly, but Sang Qi somehow sensed a hint of sadness in his tone. That nonchalant attitude unexpectedly made her heart tremble.

She had heard from her sister that his father had died early, his mother had passed away early, and he had always lived with his uncle. His childhood wasn't exactly tragic, but it certainly wasn't happy. But looking at him now, so elegant and refined, with a cheerful and approachable smile, it was hard to imagine that he had such a past.

Feeling that she was paying too much attention to him, Sang Qi glanced at her watch to distract herself. "It's already 9 o'clock. Why haven't my brother and sister arrived yet? I wonder what's holding them up. I'll give them a call."

Li Jingyao picked up his phone and waved it in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "I'll call them."

Sang Qi looked at Li Jingyao from the side and said.

"Hmm, no time? It's okay, we can get together again next time... Okay."

"Right, your sister has arrived. Don't worry, I'll take her home safely after she eats here."

"What, don't you trust my character?"

Li Jingyao held up his phone, looking at Sang Qi helplessly. "Your brother got caught up in an emergency and probably can't come today."

Sang Qi picked up her coat. "Then I..."

She should leave too.

"I've already cooked rice and stir-fried dishes. Eat before you go. Don't worry, I promised your brother I'd take you home safely." Li Jingyao gave a sly smile.

Sang Qi had no choice but to thank him, saying, "Brother Li, thank you for your trouble."

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sang Rou, with her head on her brother's shoulder watching a horror movie, became uneasy after he answered a phone call. "Is this okay? We've sold Xiao Qi out, and she's even helping us count the money."

"She'll be happy we sold her out later," Sang Pei said, stuffing popcorn into Sang Rou's mouth to shut her up.

"Be careful she doesn't hate you for scheming against her later."

"It's okay, I'll say it was all your doing." Sang Pei said confidently.

"You..."

Sang Rou pointed at her brother with her index finger, speechless.

The blood-covered female ghost in the movie finally appeared after a long build-up, but the two people outside the screen were completely unaffected.

Sang Pei pressed down Sang Rou's raised finger, "Be good, watch the movie. She's my sister, do you think I won't think about her? If Xiao Qi doesn't like him, we can just keep quiet about it. Would I let her suffer? If she does like him, Li Jingyao is a really good person, I think it's a good thing."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier, making me overthink things."

"You're blaming me for overthinking?"

Sang Rou didn't know what she was thinking, she felt like he was bullying her, but there was also a kind of fun in being bullied.

He was such a bad guy that people both loved and hated.

But she was so deeply trapped, like in a quagmire, unable to climb out.

104.

The magpie chirped, bringing good news. Flowers swayed in the breeze, their fragrance filling the air. Every girl dreams of being a June bride, for June's weather and atmosphere are undoubtedly perfect for a wedding.

Who wouldn't want to walk down the aisle surrounded by flowers with their beloved?

Time was tight, and the couple seemed indifferent to the wedding. Being casual was the most troublesome thing; the wedding planning team could only rely on their experience, resulting in a chaotic frenzy. Sang Rou, however, went from tense preparations to idleness. Without expectations, she no longer cared about the engagement's progress.

All she knew was the date of her engagement. She

hadn't even informed her parents from her past life, whom she had initially intended to invite, because the engagement would ultimately become a joke. She didn't care, and therefore had no need to flaunt her happiness to her loved one.

Fortunately, the renowned domestic wedding planning team was incredibly fast and efficient, quickly preparing everything. Sang Rou only needed to prepare herself.

On the eve of the engagement, Sang Rou had just unpacked the snow-white dress delivered by the wedding company. She didn't even want to try it on or look at it; she would simply put it on an hour before the engagement.

The warm moonlight was hazy.

Sang Pei half-squatted down, holding Sang Rou's small hand, and asked, "Want to do something naughty?"

Sang Rou sat on the bed, looking down at her brother who was half-squatting on the floor. His eyes were smiling, his sword-like eyebrows relaxed, as if he had returned to their childhood, when he led her in wicked pranks.

Back then, he smiled like this too. Although the smile was very faint, it was a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart.

"What are you doing?" She was not happy, her hands obediently placed on her knees, unwilling to be held by him, "You can't do anything tonight. If others find out tomorrow, I'll be the one who's embarrassed."

"How can your thoughts be so wicked. Don't think badly, this time it's as pure as it gets."

"Change your clothes first."

Sang Pei opened the package, took out an exquisite and beautiful white flowing dress, and helped the reluctant Sang Rou put on the dress. After she was fully dressed, he led her quickly towards the door.

Only then did Sang Rou notice that her brother was dressed unusually formally tonight.

"What do you want to do?" Sang Rou asked curiously.

"Shh, come with me."

Her brother led her out the back door.

Wei Xuan, sitting in the driver's seat, waved to them and whispered, "Quick, get in."

They drove for an unknown amount of time before arriving at a white, pastoral church.

Inside, filled with seasonal flowers, were her parents and brother from her past life, Sang Qi, Li Jingyao… not many people, but all genuinely caring for her.

Sang Rou couldn't help but cover her face with her hands. She suddenly understood everything, her heart filled with a warm glow, and tears welled up in her eyes. "You…"

"The time was a little rushed, but this is the wedding I did my best to give you," her brother said softly.

A quiet and warm wedding followed. Sang Rou was so happy her head was spinning. She was vaguely carried to the car by her brother.

"…Where are we going now?" she managed to squeeze a moment of space from her clouded mind.

"To our honeymoon." He lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips.

The sports car sped away.

…Sang Pei had already arranged everything; it was up to Wei Xuan to figure out how to proceed.

In the sweltering summer heat, Sang Pei took Sang Rou on a trip from Europe to the Mediterranean, and then from the Mediterranean to Australia.

One morning, Sang Rou suddenly vomited. The two looked at each other, then couldn't help but laugh.

The trip was forced to end, and Sang Pei and Sang Rou temporarily settled in a farm in Australia. 01-15

12. Where exactly did he stand for how long?

A group of energetic college students went to a small restaurant for stir-fries first, and after eating, they crowded around several key football players to the football field. During this time, Su Ye intentionally kept her distance from Shi Lei, but Shi Lei's gaze seemed glued to Su Ye.

When the football match started, one of Shi Lei's friends came up and patted Shi Lei on the shoulder: "Buddy, stop watching."

Shi Lei nodded, picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it, then walked over to Su Ye with the football in his arms.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two of them. Shi Lei walked over calmly, looked down at Su Ye, and said: "Thank you for coming to watch my game."

This boy was so close to Su Ye that Su Ye could almost hear his rapid and powerful heartbeat.

Su Ye chuckled softly, "Good luck."

Shi Lei stared blankly at Su Ye. He had previously only thought this girl was delicate and elegant, but now he realized that her simple smile was like a lotus leaf after a gentle breeze and rain—exquisitely beautiful and uniquely charming.

He swallowed hard, licked his dry lips, and said hoarsely, "I will definitely try my best!"

=======

In this match, both sides gave it their all, with Shi Lei giving it his all. He wanted to win in front of the girl he liked.

Su Ye stood quietly by the court, watching the boys sweating profusely. They jumped gracefully, ran swiftly, and dodged nimbly. Every jump was full of power and beauty—the passion, energy, and dedication of young boys.

Su Ye lowered her eyes. She suddenly felt very distant from all of this. The shouts and hoarse cheers filled her ears. Everyone was waving their little flags, jumping, shouting, and laughing, but none of this mattered to Su Ye.

She felt like she was standing on the shore, gazing at a distant dream, a place she could never reach on the other side.

When the game ended, cheers and screams erupted. Su Ye looked up and saw Shi Lei's gaze also piercing through the crowd to look at her.

Su Ye smiled and mouthed to Shi Lei, "Great job!"

Shi Lei seemed to understand; he paused for a moment, then a broad, unprecedented smile spread across his face.

The game was won, and applause continued. Shi Lei's team wanted to celebrate, suggesting a meal outside of school. They invited Su Ye and a few other girls to join them. Sun Qiqi readily agreed, and Su Ye readily agreed as well.

The meal was lively; the boys even drank. By the time it ended, it was already 7 PM.

Shi Lei offered to walk Su Ye back to her dorm, and Xu Panpan teased, "Who's going to walk us?" Several boys nearby immediately chimed in, offering to take the three beauties back to their dorms.

As they parted, Dong Qian glanced sadly at Shi Lei and Su Ye before leaving.

Shi Lei, however, was oblivious; his attention was entirely on Su Ye.

As the two walked along the grove again, Su Ye felt uneasy. She remembered the scene from the previous night and her dream, and lowered her head, her face flushed. The

only men she could think of now were Shi Lei and Du Heng, but why did the man in her dream seem like both Du Heng and Shi Lei?

Su Ye felt ashamed. As a married woman, how could she have dreamt of being with a man who was pursuing her like this?

Shi Lei was unaware of Su Ye's dream, but he also remembered the scene from that night. He knew Su Ye had seen everything, so he secretly glanced at her and found her cheeks flushed, as if she were drunk, and incredibly alluring.

His throat bobbed again, the alcohol surging within him. Suddenly, he desperately wanted to hold Su Ye in his arms.

But he restrained himself; he knew it would be too abrupt. If he were to hold Su Ye in his arms and kiss her like that, perhaps Su Ye would never forgive him.

Su Ye didn't know that Shi Lei had also witnessed what happened that night. She raised her eyes and said softly, "Just drop me off here. I can go back by myself." It wasn't far from the dormitory.

Shi Lei stared intently at Su Ye. He noticed that when Su Ye lifted her eyes, her thick, long eyelashes formed a shape more beautiful than butterfly wings, and her watery eyes seemed to blend innocence and allure, making one want to kiss her immediately.

Seeing that Shi Lei was just staring at her blankly without saying a word, Su Ye turned and walked back.

This man's breathing was heavy now; she knew what was going on.

When Du Heng hugged her that night, she could also hear his rapid breathing.

Shi Lei suddenly grabbed Su Ye's arm, not daring to touch her hand, only her arm.

Su Ye was displeased: "Let go of me."

Shi Lei quickly released her, saying as he did so, "Don't be angry, I just wanted to say something to you." Shi Lei's voice was already hoarse.

Su Ye's heart suddenly pounded. One sentence... what kind of sentence? She looked down at the fallen leaves on the ground, her fair face flushed even more.

Shi Lei looked down at Su Ye's fair and graceful nape, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for coming to watch my match."

Just that?

Shi Lei continued, "This is my last match at school."

He said, "I'm graduating, and I'll never again be so invested in a football match like this."

Su Ye slowly turned around, carefully observing Shi Lei.

Shi Lei's young and handsome face was solemn, yet a hint of sadness lingered in his bright, fiery eyes. He gazed at Su Ye with a passion and earnestness she had never experienced before, and softly said, "No matter what happens in the future, I will always remember today."

Su Ye looked at Shi Lei for a long time, and finally nodded, "I will remember too."

===================================

As Su Ye approached her dormitory, she suddenly remembered something, reached into her bag, and pulled out her phone.

Her phone, already on silent, had over a dozen missed calls, all from Du Heng.

Su Ye frowned; it seemed Du Heng had been trying to contact her.

Just as she was about to call back, Du Heng's call came in again, and Su Ye quickly answered.

As soon as the call connected, Du Heng asked in a deep voice, "Su Ye, where are you now?"

Su Ye shrugged. She had never heard Du Heng speak in such a tone before; at least, he never spoke to her like that.

Du Heng asked again, "Where are you?" This time, his tone was subtly angry, something he'd never done before.

Su Ye could only reply, "I'm on my way back to the dorm."

Du Heng stubbornly pressed on, "Where exactly?"

Su Ye sighed helplessly, "About a hundred meters from the dorm entrance."

The call was abruptly ended. Su Ye stared at the disconnected call log, stunned for a moment before recovering and continuing to walk.

A night breeze blew, making her nose sting. She stopped under a tree, leaned against the trunk, and gazed up at the starry sky.

The mysterious, distant night sky was dotted with only a handful of stars. Su Ye stared blankly, her eyes wide.

It was said that everyone who left this world would become a star in the sky. Su Ye knew this was just a beautiful saying, but she still wanted to find them—to find where her deceased parents were.

She stood there for a long time, until she felt a chill creeping over her, before listlessly standing up and heading back to her dorm.

She hadn't walked far when she reached the dormitory entrance. Looking up, she froze.

A man in a black trench coat stood there, hands in his pockets, staring at her intently.

His lean, angular features were deep and stern; his thin lips were tightly pressed together, his handsome brows slightly furrowed, and his eyes, deeper than the night sky, were even more unfathomable. The lonely night wind tousled his short black hair and ruffled the hem of his trench coat, but his figure seemed frozen in the black background, completely still.

Su Ye's mind exploded. She knew Du Heng had seen her just now. He had been standing there for who knows how long; he must have been watching her for ages.

Su Ye's face burned. She hesitated, wanting to speak, but no sound came out.

Since she was thirteen, she had lived under this man's care; he knew almost everything she did.

She wasn't Sun Wukong; even Sun Wukong couldn't escape the Buddha's palm.

Just then, Du Heng suddenly moved. He silently took off his trench coat and walked over to drape it over Su Ye's shoulders.

Wearing the coat, still warm from Du Heng's body, the autumn chill was instantly blocked, and Su Ye was enveloped in his warmth.

Su Ye lowered her head slightly.

Du Heng placed Su Ye's hand in his palm, warming her cold little hand in his own.

Su Ye finally found her voice and asked softly, "When did you get here?"

Du Heng gazed at her and said casually, "Not long ago." His voice was rough and hoarse, low and slow.

Su Ye looked up at him, waiting for Du Heng's question. She knew he had been angry earlier and would likely question her.

But Du Heng didn't.

The two stood at the door for so long, and Du Heng didn't ask anything. He simply held Su Ye's hand in his and gently rubbed it.

Su Ye sighed. She knew she couldn't compare to Du Heng; Du Heng was a seasoned businessman, and she felt like a fledgling in his presence.

So she spoke first, explaining, "I went shopping with friends this morning, and on my way back at noon I ran into a group of male classmates watching their soccer game. After that, we went to eat..." She hesitated, unsure whether to say the last sentence.

Du Heng, who had been quietly gazing at her, suddenly interjected, "Did you drink alcohol while eating?"

Su Ye hadn't expected him to ask this, and quickly shook her head, "No, I didn't drink."

Du Heng held both of Su Ye's small hands with one hand, while raising his other hand to touch her cheek. In his still hoarse voice, with a hint of intimacy and helplessness, he said, "I knew you definitely wouldn't drink."

After he said this, Su Ye felt relieved, because she could feel the coldness and ruthlessness that had enveloped Du Heng disappear, replaced by the familiar warmth and sense of security.

Su Ye deliberately ignored the possible embarrassment from before, smiled to herself, and said softly, "Since you know I won't drink, what are you afraid of?"

Du Heng sighed and stepped forward to pull Su Ye into his arms, "Silly girl, you have a group of people with you. What if someone drinks and causes trouble, and it gets you in trouble?"

13. Du Heng's Possessiveness

Du Heng took Su Ye's hand and was about to lead her back to the dormitory. Su Ye hesitated for a moment, glancing at the dormitory supervisor at the entrance, and whispered to Du Heng, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" After all, they were on campus, and in the eyes of those around them, Su Ye was a womanizer and unmarried; how could she bring Du Heng back to the dormitory?

Du Heng, however, remained calm and composed: "It's too late now." He didn't explain further, but with just that one sentence, Su Ye understood that Du Heng was determined to spend the night at school.

Su Ye frowned helplessly: "This isn't good; it'll be terrible if people find out."

Hearing this, Du Heng stopped, turned around, and scrutinized Su Ye. After a long while, a smile curved his lips: "What, am I ashamed to be seen?"

Su Ye shook her head and said softly, "You know, that's not what I meant."

Du Heng didn't say anything more, taking Su Ye's hand and leading her upstairs. Passing the dormitory supervisor's office, Su Ye was worried about being stopped by the supervisor, but even as they walked into the elevator, the supervisor seemed completely oblivious to Du Heng.

The elevator was nearly empty. After exiting, Su Ye went out first, glanced around, and, taking advantage of the quiet hallway, quickly pulled Du Heng into the apartment.

Once inside, Du Heng released Su Ye's hand and walked to the center of the room, surveying the furnishings of the single dormitory room.

Su Ye suddenly felt a strange sensation, as if a woman's private room had been invaded and was being openly observed. Since she had lived with Du Heng since she was thirteen, she had practically no privacy in his presence; everything about her was laid bare before him. Even when they got married, she hadn't felt uncomfortable. But now, Du Heng's scrutiny made her feel like her personal space had been invaded.

Just then, Du Heng nodded and said, "It's barely habitable. I'm sorry to have to make do."

Su Ye chuckled lightly; she knew Du Heng would think that. She smiled faintly and said, "This is school; everyone's like this. Besides, compared to other students, my room is already quite nice." She remembered the envious looks Yang Qiqi and the others had given her dorm room.

But Du Heng came over and casually squeezed her hand, saying, "You're different." His voice was deep and gentle, yet it resonated with Su Ye.

A helpless smile appeared on Su Ye's lips. She recalled the scene on the playground earlier that day. Perhaps Du Heng was right; she was different from the other students.

Du Heng glanced at his watch; it was getting late. He loosened his tie and said calmly, "Get some rest. Go take a shower."

Watching Du Heng's movements, Su Ye suddenly realized that compared to the dashing and unrestrained Shi Lei on the court, Du Heng was far too steady. He seemed to have everything under control; he was always so composed and calm, and his deep, dark eyes were always unfathomable.

Du Heng felt Su Ye's gaze, stopped what he was doing, and looked up at her: "What's wrong?"

Su Ye quickly shook her head: "Nothing, nothing, I'm going to take a shower."

==========================

Su Ye's bed was really small, at least compared to the super king-size bed she and Du Heng had specially ordered from Italy in their bedroom, this bed was pitifully small. When the tall Du Heng lay on it, Su Ye felt even more that Du Heng had been wronged, and this wrong was because of her.

Su Ye felt a little guilty: "I'll go home tomorrow."

Du Heng didn't respond, he hugged Su Ye, unwrapped the bath towel, and threw it aside.

Lying in Du Heng's arms, Su Ye shrank back. She then realized that Du Heng was a little different tonight than usual. At least the usual Du Heng was gentle and polite, so polite that he would never do something like throwing a bath towel on the carpet.

And this action was just the beginning. What Du Heng did next made Su Ye shudder. He kissed her lips, forcefully forcing his way in before she could open them. Su Ye gasped for breath, her small hands helplessly gripping his arm, trying to get him to slow down. But Du Heng didn't stop; his domineering tongue relentlessly teased, intertwined, and sucked between her lips and teeth.

Su Ye's cheeks flushed, her eyes filled with panic. She tried to break free, but Du Heng's arms were like iron, holding her petite and soft body tightly within them, making it impossible for her to move. Helplessly, she tilted her face back, but Du Heng's large hands held her head firmly. She tried to escape, but he only pressed her closer, hiding in his palm, where she trembled from his kisses.

Su Ye began to sob. She didn't understand what was wrong with Du Heng; her mind was a mess. Did he know about what happened during the day? Did he know about Shi Lei?

Du Heng's lips moved forcefully, but his eyes were fixed on Su Ye's. Seeing Su Ye's confused and frightened expression, his eyes darkened, and he released her, loosening his grip.

Su Ye was finally released, gasping for breath, and was about to sit up when Du Heng suddenly pressed down again, parting his lips slightly to kiss her hard.

Su Ye whimpered in distress, "Ouch!"

Du Heng looked at Su Ye's ravaged lips, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. He still supported the back of Su Ye's head with one hand, while his other hand gently rubbed her cheek with his slightly calloused thumb, lowering his voice to whisper in her ear, "Be good, I won't bully you anymore."

Su Ye struggled in dissatisfaction; his words were sweet, but he had clearly already bullied her.

Just then, Du Heng leaned down again, and Su Ye flinched. She didn't want it to happen again. But this time, Du Heng's kiss didn't reach for her lips; instead, it landed directly on Su Ye's neck. Her

elegant, fair neck, flawless skin, youthful and supple to the touch—Du Heng's kiss landed heavily, leaving a striking hickey.

Su Ye raised her hand to push him away. This wasn't how it was before; Du Heng would never treat her like this.

Tears welled in Su Ye's eyes as she thought aggrievedly, "Du Heng has always been gentle with me; he would never hurt me."

But now, Du Heng ignored Su Ye's tearful eyes. His lips traveled down her slender neck, reaching her small, full, rounded nipple. Two fingers pinched her clitoris, gently teasing it, then he took it in his mouth, slowly sucking as if savoring a fine delicacy.

Su Ye was startled again. She tilted her head back, her ravaged lips slightly parted, her bewildered eyes filled with tears. Du Heng continued his domineering and composed actions with his fingers and lips. Su Ye protested, panting, "No, I don't like this."

Du Heng's hands remained calm, but his breathing was already unsteady. Hearing Su Ye's words, a dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low, hoarse voice, "What can I do? I just like it this way."

Du Heng carefully gathered all of Su Ye's hair to one side, then rolled over and pinned her down.

Su Ye felt increasingly dissatisfied with the weight on her, kicking her legs wildly, "You're acting so strange today, I don't want to..."

Du Heng pretended not to hear Su Ye's words. He used his legs to firmly pin Su Ye's legs down and continued his journey with his lips and tongue.

It was an unbearable torment. She had grown up nourished by the golden nectar of love; she was beautiful and delicate. She had always been cherished by Du Heng. Even during their intimate moments, even on their wedding night, Du Heng had always been careful, restrained, and composed, never allowing her to suffer the slightest harm. His

hot and domineering lips slid across her delicate, flower-like skin, leaving countless kiss marks and arousing waves of heat and trembling within Su Ye. Finally, Du Heng reached Su Ye's most sensitive spot. Su Ye was now at a loss. She gripped Du Heng's shoulders tightly, her nails almost digging into his strong muscles.

Su Ye frantically shook her head, saying in a tearful voice, "I don't want to!"

But Du Heng gritted his teeth and said, "You can't refuse." His tone was firm and unquestionable.

He lowered his head and parted the tender grass.

As his burning lips touched her most intimate spot, she let out a soft "ah," her slender neck involuntarily arching back, her long, dark, lustrous hair swaying and scattering onto the pale purple cotton sheet.

Su Ye's body remained like a floating duckweed, trembling slightly with Du Heng's movements below. She could only helplessly grip Du Heng's firm, unshakeable shoulders with her hands. Su Ye felt shame and helplessness; she could feel the fluid flowing from her lower body. She furrowed her delicate eyebrows, biting her lower lip with her clean, white teeth until it bled. Yet, soft, suppressed gasps still escaped her lips, caused by the man's lips and tongue's seemingly malicious teasing and greedy sucking.

She didn't know how much time had passed, so long that Su Ye thought this torment would never end, when Du Heng finally stopped his tongue and lips, leaning down to gaze at Su Ye, who was pinned beneath him.

The nineteen-year-old girl was as pure as a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, yet now her delicate cheeks were flushed with an alluring blush, her tender lips like petals glistening after a storm, and her eyes, half-open and half-closed, blended innocence and seductive charm.

Du Heng's Adam's apple bobbed, his eyes growing even darker.

Su Ye had thought he was finally going to let her go, and was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she suddenly felt a hot, hard object pressing against her wet, soft spot. Her body trembled, her heart tightened, and her eyes widened in alarm, her eyelashes trembling with uncontrollable fear.

In the past, Du Heng would have felt sorry for her and would have comforted her with gentle words, but today Du Heng was different. He simply pressed down on Su Ye's vulva with his hand, then forcefully lowered his waist. The entrance had already turned into a puddle of soft mud due to the flowing water, and his hard object naturally pierced through the ice and jade, penetrating deep inside.

Su Ye gasped, closing her eyes and silently enduring the sensation of that enormous object entering her body.

Once inside, Du Heng began to move rhythmically. At first, it was gentle, but the movements gradually quickened and deepened, until Su Ye could no longer suppress a soft moan, and until her brows furrowed even more tightly. Her slender shoulders and waist swayed back and forth on the pale purple pillow with the immense force of the impact, like a willow battered by a storm. Her long, flowing hair was already disheveled, swaying in alluring arcs, yet revealing the unprecedented strength of the man on top of her.

"Du Heng…you…what's wrong with you…ooh…" Tears streamed down Su Ye's face. She had never been treated like this before; she was even afraid. The Du Heng before her was clearly not the one she knew.

The only answer Su Ye was heavy breathing. Du Heng's movements did not stop; he continued to possess her fiercely, his dark eyes unfathomable, fixed on his disheveled and alluring wife beneath him.

Su Ye closed her eyes, raised her slender, white arms, and wrapped them around the man's broad shoulders.

Du Heng paused his thrusting motion as Su Ye wrapped her arms around him, but then resumed his rougher movements, churning and plunging into her.

This frail little woman was his; his actions were filled with possessiveness, asserting his dominance over her body, and even carrying a hint of fear.

When Su Ye's long hair was disheveled, when the pillow had been knocked to the floor, and when the high-quality bed creaked, the woman's soft moans and the man's heavy breathing echoed in the room, along with the suggestive sounds of splashing and impact.

Suddenly, Du Heng lifted Su Ye from beneath him, spreading her legs and placing them on his shoulders, then, supporting her slender waist, began his final thrusts.

Those two long, slender legs trembled uncontrollably on the man's shoulders. Finally, Du Heng let out a low growl, and with one last thrust, he buried himself deep inside Su Ye's body.

Su Ye felt a surge of heat within her, then suddenly it felt as if something exploded inside her, like fireworks she used to play with in the garden as a child, bursting forth in all directions.

Su Ye cried softly, tears streaming down her face again. She felt, in a daze, the tremors and shivers within her body.

She felt as if Du Heng had turned her body into a puddle of soft mud, so soft that it no longer felt like her own.

14. Du Heng's Explanation

The man's heavy breathing gradually subsided, but the air still held a strong, ambiguous atmosphere.

Du Heng raised his arm and gently laid Su Ye, who seemed to have lost all her strength, on the bed, then picked up a pillow and repositioned her.

Su Ye stared unsteadily at the ceiling, letting Du Heng do as he pleased.

Seeing this, Du Heng simply lay down himself, his arm slipping under Su Ye's slender waist, wrapping her body around his chest.

His touch brought Su Ye back from her blank state. She looked down at Du Heng's masculine arm encircling her and whispered, "Sweaty."

Du Heng glanced at himself and chuckled softly in Su Ye's ear. Actually, with such intense activity, how could he not be sweaty? But Su Ye was always picky about these things, and he was used to it.

Du Heng chuckled softly, "Okay, I'll go wash up later." He gazed at Su Ye's face, still flushed with the afterglow of her climax, and said gently, "Wash together?"

Su Ye was momentarily flustered. Her face burned, and she whispered, "No way!" She felt again that Du Heng was acting strangely today, unlike usual.

Looking at her awkward yet charming expression, Du Heng felt a surge of emotion welling up inside him. He couldn't resist lifting himself up and lightly touching her delicate, clean cheek with his lips.

Su Ye's skin was delicate and flawless, but for some reason, Du Heng had a bit of stubble, which pricked her. She had already felt repulsed and afraid of their passionate encounter, but hadn't known how to express her dissatisfaction. Now, pricked like that, she suddenly had something to say.

"Don't do that, it hurts!" she complained, sounding aggrieved.

Du Heng looked down at her limp body, his eyes darkening, and asked in a low, husky voice, "Does it hurt a lot?"

Su Ye nodded seriously, emphasizing, "It hurts so much!" As she spoke, she touched her cheek with her hand; she didn't want to think she had been pricked like that.

Du Heng suddenly chuckled softly, and after laughing, he leaned in again, mercilessly rubbing her cheek with his firm lips, occasionally brushing his chin against her lips.

Poor Su Ye, she couldn't escape or hide, and her protests were ignored. She felt itchy and numb, wanting to laugh and cry at the same time, and finally could only beg for mercy.

Du Heng's laughter was deep and resonant, even his chest vibrated. He finally stopped, holding Su Ye and gently coaxing her, "Good girl, don't be afraid, I won't prick you anymore."

Su Ye pouted, angrily raising her small fist to punch his chest, which was vibrating with laughter: "I hate you! You're so mean!"

Du Heng didn't dodge, letting her play in his arms. The two played for a while before finally quieting down. By then, their sweat had dried, and Su Ye simply lay down in Du Heng's arms to rest.

Du Heng's large hands grasped Su Ye's slender fingers, caressing and playing with them one by one. Su Ye felt extremely comfortable being touched. She suddenly remembered that when she was four or five years old, her family's nanny had once kept a tabby cat. After lunch on a winter's day, the nanny held the cat on her lap, stroking its smooth fur with her rough hands. Su Ye recalled the cat's contented, languid expression, its eyes half-closed, and wondered if she was the cat in Du Heng's arms now.

Just then, Su Ye's phone on the table chimed—a text message.

Su Ye glanced cautiously at Du Heng; she didn't know who it was from. If it was Yang Qiqi, that would be fine, but if it was Shi Lei, things would be different.

Du Heng reached out and took the phone from Su Ye, handing it to her without even looking at it.

Su Ye silently took it, opened it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, chuckling softly, "It's from one of our classmates." She glanced at Du Heng and added, "The classmate we went shopping with during the day."

Du Heng seemed completely unconcerned about the message; his large hand gently caressed her waist, his eyes filled with a doting smile.

Su Ye opened her text message and saw it was Yang Qiqi asking if she had arrived at the dorm. She quickly replied and then obediently placed her phone back on her pillow.

Du Heng took her hand again and asked softly, "You seem to get along well with these classmates?"

Su Ye nodded, "Yes, they're all very nice." A smile returned to Su Ye's lips as she spoke of Yang Qiqi and the others.

Du Heng laughed, "Since you like them so much, how about inviting them over for your birthday?"

Hearing this, Su Ye's eyes dimmed slightly, and she shook her head, saying, "No, let's not."

Seeing this, Du Heng glanced at Su Ye and changed the subject, saying, "Oh, we'll talk about it later. Shall we go take a shower first?"

Su Ye blushed and quickly shook her head, saying, "You go first, I want to rest for a while."

Du Heng understood Su Ye and knew these things couldn't be rushed. He got up, put on a towel, and went to the bathroom by himself.

Su Ye lay alone in bed, idly listening to the sound of running water in the bathroom. Suddenly, her phone rang again. She quickly picked it up and saw that the sender was Shi Lei.

Su Ye's first instinct was to glance at the bathroom. Thankfully, the water was still running, so Du Heng probably wouldn't come out anytime soon.

She quickly opened the message. Shi Lei was asking if she had arrived at her dorm and if she was asleep. Su Ye felt flustered and quickly replied. As she typed her reply, she noticed her fingers trembling slightly.

After finally finishing replying, a few moments later, Shi Lei sent another message. This time, it read: "Su Ye, I suddenly really want to hug you."

Upon seeing this, Su Ye's mind went blank, as if it had exploded. She stared at the message, her heart pounding. She

didn't know how much time had passed when she thought she heard the sound of the water in the bathroom stop. Startled, she quickly turned off her phone and tossed it aside like a hot potato.

A moment later, Du Heng came out. Seeing Su Ye's body flushed a deep red, like a steamed shrimp, he frowned in confusion. "What's wrong? Are you sick?" He sat by the bed, his body reeking of lavender bath fragrance—a scent Su Ye had chosen for herself.

Su Ye shook her head, muttering, "No… I'm just tired." She buried her head under the covers like a snail, knowing Du Heng wasn't stupid and would definitely notice her unusual condition.

Du Heng, however, was only worried that she was sick. He reached out and pulled back the covers, his large hand checking the temperature of her forehead.

Du Heng frowned worriedly, "The temperature is a bit high, but thankfully it's not serious. Do you have any medicine here?"

Seeing things had come to this, Su Ye could only whine, "No, I don't want to take medicine. I probably caught a chill outside today. I'll be fine after a nap."

Du Heng thought about it and agreed; too much medicine wasn't good. So he poured a cup of hot water, helped Su Ye drink it, then got into bed, hugged her, and covered her with the blanket. "Sleep. If you're still not better tomorrow, I'll take you to see a doctor."

Su Ye buried her face in his chest, burying her face in shame, and nodded obediently.

Du Heng patted her back reassuringly, then suddenly asked, "Did you see me when you went shopping today?"

Su Ye was startled, but then nodded and mumbled, "Yes." Because she was buried in his arms, her voice was slightly nasal.

But Du Heng misunderstood. He genuinely believed his beloved wife in his arms was wronged. He paused for a moment, then finally said, "The friend who came today is Uncle Jin from America. You've met him before, remember?"

Su Ye thought for a moment and nodded, "I remember." Uncle Jin was a kind man. The first time they met in America, he gave her an extremely rare old-mine jade bracelet.

Du Heng looked down at Su Ye in his arms and explained softly, "Do you remember he has a daughter? That daughter is two years younger than you."

Su Ye continued to think, then suddenly shocked. She lifted her head from Du Heng's embrace and looked at him in disbelief, "Could it be that today's girl is the one from the hospital?"

Du Heng smiled and nodded, "Yes, you've met her."

Su Ye tried hard to recall the girl she had seen during the day, but she couldn't connect the vibrant, sunny, and fashionable young woman today with the little girl she had seen in the hospital.

Su Ye had met Uncle Jin when she was fourteen years old, when Du Heng took her to America, and Uncle Jin was her host. Uncle Jin only had one daughter, just twelve years old, but she became a vegetable after a car accident. Su Ye saw her at the hospital with Du Heng, and she was saddened for a long time after returning from the hospital. A supposedly lively and lovely little girl, with a pointed chin and a pert little nose, lay there pale, waiting for what is called a medical miracle.

Su Ye was filled with emotion, and the sadness she felt during the day made her feel uneasy again. In the end, she could only say, "So it was her... She's grown up so beautifully..."

Du Heng tapped Su Ye's nose and smiled helplessly, "Yes, she specially brought a gift from America, saying she wanted to give it to Sister Su Ye from China, but you..."

Su Ye was extremely ashamed, her face turning red with embarrassment. She buried her head in Du Heng's arms and complained softly, "Why didn't you explain it to me clearly..."

Seeing her adorable appearance, Du Heng couldn't bear to say anything and simply smiled and admitted, "Okay, it's all my fault for not explaining it clearly, making our little Su Ye overthink things?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ye quickly protested, "No, I didn't! I didn't overthink things!"

Seeing her intense reaction, Du Heng could only soothe her, "I know, you didn't overthink things, it was me who overthinking things, okay?"

Su Ye then fell silent, but thinking about it, she inexplicably felt that there was something more to Du Heng's words.

Du Heng glanced at the time and realized it was getting late. He patted her on the back and whispered, "Never mind, take a shower and go to sleep. Uncle Jin and Annie will still be here tomorrow. I'll take you to see them then."

Su Ye hummed in agreement, got up from Du Heng's arms, and went out wrapped in a bath towel.

When she came out after showering, Du Heng was taking out documents from his bag to look at. Seeing Su Ye return, he immediately put them down.

After they lay down together, Su Ye quickly fell asleep, probably exhausted from Du Heng's efforts that night.

After Su Ye fell asleep, Du Heng gazed at his beloved wife, his brows furrowed in deep thought.

After a long while, he reached for his phone and silently sent a text message.

15.

That night, Du Heng didn't sleep well. Around midnight, he felt that Su Ye's temperature in his arms was not only not decreasing but was actually rising. He got up and searched the drawer. Fortunately, there was a spare first-aid kit with common fever reducers. He poured some cooled boiled water and fed it to Su Ye.

Su Ye was half asleep, looking at Du Heng with hazy eyes, her lips, covered in hickeys, tightly closed, refusing to open her mouth. Children who are pampered from a young age are bound to have some quirks, and one of Su Ye's quirks was her refusal to take medicine.

Du Heng looked at Su Ye's pitiful pout, feeling both amused and annoyed. He also felt guilty for making such a fuss last night because of his own stubbornness. So he helped her up and coaxed her to take her medicine.

After she took the medicine, Du Heng covered her with a blanket, held her back, and lay down in her arms. He only dared to sleep after checking that her temperature was normal.

In the early hours of the next morning, Du Heng's first instinct upon waking was to check Su Ye's temperature. The moment his hand touched her forehead, Du Heng frowned.

Why was her forehead burning up again?

Without disturbing Su Ye, Du Heng made two phone calls before carefully getting dressed and getting out of bed. Although he moved gently, Su Ye still woke up. She lay on her side, her large, lifeless eyes staring blankly at Du Heng, her once-moist pink lips now chapped.

Du Heng was already dressed. Seeing Su Ye wake up, he picked up her clothes and helped her put them on. Su Ye struggled to get up, wanting to dress herself, so Du Heng had no choice but to let her.

As Su Ye dressed, Du Heng explained, "You have a high fever. Let's go home now. I've already called Dr. Mo and asked him to come over."

Su Ye nodded listlessly, trying to put on her coat. However, because of the high fever, her arms were weak, and she could only manage to get one sleeve on after a while. Du Heng saw this and helped her put it on. At this point, Su Ye stopped struggling and simply stayed there obediently, letting Du Heng help her dress.

A moment later, the two went downstairs together. At first, Du Heng supported Su Ye, but later, feeling sorry for her, he simply picked her up and carried her into the elevator. Su Ye weakly groaned a few times in protest, but seeing that it was still early and there weren't many people in the elevator, she gave up.

When they got downstairs, an Audi A8 was already parked not far from the entrance. When the driver saw Du Heng carrying Su Ye out, he quickly got out of the car to help open the back door. Du Heng carefully laid Su Ye flat inside the car, bending slightly. He was about to let go and get into the passenger seat when Su Ye, who had been clinging tightly to his arm the whole way, suddenly appeared. Du Heng gently tried to pry her arm away, but the drowsy Su Ye still wouldn't let go. Du Heng couldn't bear it and had no choice but to get in as well. The originally spacious seat was now mostly occupied by Su Ye, leaving Du Heng, a grown man in a suit and tie, cramped in a corner.

The driver couldn't bear to watch, but he couldn't say anything about his boss's situation, especially since everyone knew how much Du Heng doted on Su Ye.

The car slowly started moving, and Du Heng gazed tenderly at his precious daughter beside him, reaching out to touch her forehead again. Just then, Du Heng felt a gaze outside the window. He looked up and saw a boy, presumably a student from the school, looking in their direction with surprise from the flowerbed not far from the dormitory entrance. He probably couldn't see inside the car, but he still stared at it in surprise.

Du Heng remembered that Su Ye usually didn't like driving near the school, and he thought to himself that this time she had attracted the attention of other students. Looking at Su Ye's slightly furrowed brows, he wondered if she would protest again.

==============================

It was early Sunday morning. There weren't many cars on the road. Urged on by Du Heng, the driver drove fast, especially after getting on the highway, where they sped along. Soon they arrived home. Su Ye's forehead was still burning hot; she had drifted off to sleep, her beautiful brows furrowed in her dreams.

As soon as they arrived home, Chen Ma rushed out. She was worried about Su Ye and immediately asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong? Is it serious? How did you get sick?"

Du Heng carried Su Ye out of the house and asked in a low voice, "Has Dr. Mo arrived?"

Chen Ma quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, he's waiting in the living room."

Du Heng nodded and immediately instructed, "Okay, please have him come upstairs first."

Du Heng carried Su Ye into the living room, where Dr. Mo was sitting on the sofa playing on his phone, with an assistant beside him. Dr. Mo was clearly surprised to see Du Heng carrying Su Ye in: "It's quite serious, what happened to her?"

Du Heng's expression was grim: "She has a fever. Examine her immediately."

Du Heng carried Su Ye upstairs, and Dr. Mo quickly grabbed his medical kit and followed with his assistant. Once upstairs, Du Heng set Su Ye down, and Dr. Mo, not daring to be negligent, began examining her.

While Dr. Mo examined Su Ye, Du Heng watched intently. When Dr. Mo loosened Su Ye's collar to listen to her heartbeat, a clear displeasure flashed in Du Heng's eyes.

Dr. Mo immediately felt a chill run down his spine. Knowing Du Heng well, he turned and smiled, saying, "Why don't you come and help me?"

Du Heng's face darkened, his tone extremely impatient: "Hurry up!"

Dr. Mo chuckled and continued his examination of Su Ye with a serious expression.

Soon, Dr. Mo finished the examination, put down the stethoscope, took the prescription, wrote out the medication, and handed it to his assistant, who then went downstairs to get the medicine.

Du Heng frowned, staring at the pale Su Ye on the bed, and asked Dr. Mo in a hoarse voice, "How is she?"

Dr. Mo shrugged: "Nothing serious, just a little inflammation and a fever. I've already prescribed medication; a few more IV drips and she'll be fine."

Du Heng had initially thought the same thing, and now that Dr. Mo confirmed it, he was finally relieved and nodded.

Du Heng spent the entire day looking after Su Ye. Su Ye was constantly awake and asleep, like a child when asleep and even more so when awake, constantly wanting this and that, clinging tightly to Du Heng's clothes. Looking at the fragile Su Ye, Du Heng thought of the Su Ye who had suddenly lost her parents at the age of thirteen.

He sighed and stroked Su Ye's forehead, which was already damp with sweat. He felt again that the Su Ye beside him was always that confused and helpless little Su Ye, the Su Ye he would never let go of in his life.

===================================

Around noon, Du Heng remembered Mr. Jin and his daughter in America. He quickly went to another room to call them, apologize, and explain the situation. Annie, hearing that Su Ye was ill, insisted on coming to see her, but Mr. Jin stopped her, saying there would be plenty of time later. Du Heng knew that Mr. Jin was worried about disturbing Su Ye's recovery, and he was grateful. He said he would definitely take Su Ye to America to visit Annie sometime, which cheered Annie up.

After finishing his call, Du Heng went downstairs and ate something. At that moment, Chen Ma had cooked millet porridge, so he brought it up, wanting to see if Su Ye was awake so he could feed her some.

When he entered the room, Su Ye was already awake, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes, looking quite well.

Hearing the door open, Su Ye immediately turned around. Seeing Du Heng carrying a tray, she said pitifully, "I don't like taking medicine."

Du Heng smiled at her childish expression, sat down beside her, and gently comforted her, "This isn't for you to take medicine. This is porridge that Aunt Chen made for you; it's perfect for you."

Su Ye nodded, pouting helplessly yet obediently, "Okay."

Du Heng first helped Su Ye sit up, then picked up the porridge and began to feed her with a spoon. Su Ye initially ate from his spoon, but later kept her mouth tightly shut and refused to eat.

Du Heng raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"

Su Ye wrinkled her little nose and said, "I don't want you to feed me; I want to eat by myself."

Du Heng paused, his gaze softening, and coaxed softly, "You're sick."

Su Ye protested, "I'm almost better."

Du Heng sighed and had no choice but to put the bowl in her hands so she could drink by herself, while he watched from the side.

Actually, Su Ye's fever had subsided by this time, and she was indeed much better, finishing the porridge by herself.

The two sat there with nothing to do, so they started talking. Du Heng thought for a moment and suggested, "Su Ye, don't live at school anymore, move back home."

Su Ye, who had been playing with Du Heng's fingers with her head down, looked up immediately upon hearing this. "Why? I'm perfectly fine living at school."

Du Heng thought for a moment before saying, "There are all sorts of people out there now, I'm afraid they'll lead you astray."

Su Ye looked at Du Heng with confusion, and after a long while, asked, "What do you mean by that? Who are you referring to?"

Du Heng was unfamiliar with Su Ye's questioning tone, but he only frowned and said, "Have you been hanging out with a few girls lately?"

Hearing this, Su Ye felt a little relieved, but she still bit her lip and asked Du Heng with dissatisfaction, "You mean Yang Qiqi and the others? How do you know they'll lead me astray?"

Seeing Su Ye speak to him like this, Du Heng became even more dissatisfied, and his face darkened. "Of course I know."

Upon hearing this, Su Ye almost jumped out of bed. "You investigated them? Or did you follow me?"

Seeing this, Du Heng simply admitted, "I was worried about you, so I had someone investigate."

Su Ye glared at Du Heng for a long time, finally her eyes filled with tears. "You...you, you've gone too far!"

Du Heng stood up, his gaze deep. "You can think I've gone too far, but I'm doing this for your own good."

Su Ye forced back the tears in her eyes and angrily accused Du Heng, "I don't want you to be good to me like this! I won't allow you to investigate my friends!"

Du Heng snorted coldly. "You're really ignorant. Do you think the outside world is that simple? If I let you continue like this, one day you might be sold out and still be the one paying for it!"

Su Ye grabbed a pillow next to her with the hand that wasn't connected to the IV drip and threw it hard at Du Heng.
