I gave my boss an aphrodisiac.

(I)

No phone calls, no text messages, no clients, no sales, no money in my pocket, no future prospects—just
another ordinary afternoon, nothing different, but not without its charm.

In the finance department office, separated by a glass partition, stood a
goddess with her back to me at a 45-degree angle—Chu Xiangyi. She was a fresh
graduate , and a star who immediately attracted attention upon joining.

Her attention wasn't due to her education; workplace competition is ruthless, and past achievements mean
nothing . Chu Xiangyi became the center of attention because of another
weapon that inspired envy and jealousy even more than her education—her stunning figure and appearance.

I still remember when Chu Xiangyi first came to work last year. The company's uniforms for new employees weren't
finished yet, so she was dressed casually that day: a blue plaid shirt, distressed skinny jeans, and white high-top
sneakers . Her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and she had willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and a pair of bright eyes that revealed a hint of nervousness and
unease. The faint freckles on her small nose couldn't hide the soft glow emanating from her fair skin.

Her tall figure, over 165cm, was curvaceous, especially her long legs encased in jeans—straight,
rounded , and seamlessly connected to the pert curves of her hips, a masterpiece of nature. Though she wore no
makeup , her beauty was as pure as green tea and as pristine as snow, yet she exuded a captivating and alluring sensuality.

After a year of working life, Chu Xiangyi now always wore just the right amount of light makeup, dressed in
a well-fitting gray business suit that perfectly accentuated her feminine curves. Her long legs were
encased , and her jade-like feet were clad in black or white high heels. Compared to the fresh-faced college student she once was, she possessed
a unique and elegant charm befitting a professional woman.

In this appearance-obsessed society, a woman like Chu Xiangyi was always the center of attention, and I
was no exception. Although I could only see part of her profile from where I was sitting, it was the perfect spot to observe her beautiful figure through the slightly
reflective glass.

Whenever she was looking down at her work, organizing reports, or resting her chin on her hand while deep in thought, I couldn't help
but stare intently at her full, high breasts encased in her clothes, her slender, supple waist
swaying from the chair thanks to its fitted design, her shapely legs in stockings sometimes crossing, sometimes stretching, and her beautiful feet that would occasionally
peek out from her shoes after wearing high heels for too long, curling and stretching her toes and moving her toes.

At this time, I would feel my little brother swell painfully in my suit pants, so I could only hunch over,
like a shrimp, and bury my face in the table to hide my embarrassment. But my eyes would still linger on her
beautiful figure , unwilling to miss a single second. So, ever since Chu Xiangyi sat in that office, I went out to do business
less and less, and my performance got worse and worse.

Today is the end of the month, an ordinary day for me, but
different . As I lay there, as always, gazing at Chu Xiangyi's beautiful legs in stockings,
wrestling my goddess finished her tidying up.
She gently tucked her delicate heels, which had unconsciously slipped out of her high heels, back into her shoes, and gracefully rose, carrying
a stack of forms, as she walked out.

This was a monthly routine; Chu Xiangyi, the company's accountant and statistician, would
review everyone's sales performance at the end of each month, have everyone confirm it was correct, and then sign off on it before determining the monthly
sales commission.

Xiangyi stepped out of the glass booth, the crisp clatter of her high heels echoing like a beautiful
butterfly flitting between desks. She bent down before each male employee with ill intentions,
speaking softly to them, her long hair hanging low, emitting a faint fragrance, obscuring my view of her face
.

The clattering grew closer; it was clearly just normal business behavior, yet I found my heart pounding
fiercely. Chu Xiangyi walked gracefully, approaching me step by step. I felt I should act
more natural, but as always, it was futile. I just stared blankly at
her beautiful face, forcing myself not to fixate on her alluring
breasts .

"Brother Liu, I'm sorry, you're not getting any this time either." Mistaking my gaze for
expectation , Xiangyi smiled apologetically as she passed me.

"Ah! I know, I know." I tried to act nonchalant, but I came across as a
pathetic homeless man pretending not to care about not receiving welfare, responding to her like an idiot.

"Keep it up! I hope I can get your autograph next month!"

Her melodious voice, like a nightingale's song, brimming with goodwill, made my heart
slow down with her gentle, spring-like smile. I stared blankly as she walked past me, leaving a trail of fragrance, to another colleague's
desk, forgetting even to say thank you.

How useless I am…

Yes, "useless" is an invisible label plastered on my forehead.

My name is Liu Zicheng, thirty-two years old, single, no house, no car, no girlfriend. I've been working in sales at this company for eight years,
the only one still doing sales after eight years, and the only one who still
frequently gets shaving his head (meaning he's been in sales for so long).

Isn't that pathetic? Anyone else, after eight years, even if not a department head, should be a seasoned veteran
who can bully new employees at will. But my current status is still that of an
old slacker with consistently poor performance, good for nothing except fixing computers.

Being good at computer repair means being a backup option forever. I know my place; even if I were to be a backup option for Chu Xiangyi, it wouldn't be
me. So I've always been secretly watching her, treating her as a goddess who is close yet unattainable.
I don't even dare to try to get closer to her; I just silently watch her back, suppressing my desires,
or secretly masturbate in the bathroom.

I admire her beauty and her kindness, but if I could, I would rather she
approach me asking me to get her a virus checkup or pour her a cup of coffee than greet me with that
warm, almost scalding, bright, almost blinding smile, uttering a seemingly harmless but ultimately sarcastic and pity-filled statement.
Her encouragement only made me feel further away from her.

Xiangyi had all her colleagues sign the forms and then sent them to Manager Wu's office. It was
the only opaque office in the large office building, spacious and comfortable. Every time Xiangyi walked in alone
, I felt a strong sense of worry and resentment. Manager

Wu was a middle-aged divorcee, forty-six years old, obese, and sleazy. If it weren't for his
job , he would be the kind of person people would dislike seeing on the street. Most importantly,
it was common knowledge in the company that he harbored ill intentions towards Chu Xiangyi.

Of course, there were plenty of men in the company who had designs on Chu Xiangyi.
It was normal for a wealthy and influential single man like Lao Wu to be attracted to such a young and beautiful woman. So, although everyone
was indignant about Lao Wu's habit of calling Xiangyi into his office all the time, he hadn't actually done anything outrageous. And Chu Xiangyi
had always maintained a cool and distant relationship with him, deliberately keeping the proper distance between employee and boss, showing no
intention of putting herself on the chopping block. So, although everyone was indignant and worried, no one dared to express
their dissatisfaction.

Besides, even if something had actually happened between them, the idea of a beautiful female employee having an affair with her boss
was commonplace in today's society. What could others do but be envious and jealous? Therefore, watching
Chu Xiangyi walk into Lao Wu's office and close the door, all I could do was worry and feel resentful.

Xiangyi only stayed in that office for a few minutes before coming out, but those few minutes felt like years to me
. Seeing the goddess reappear, her expression normal and her clothes still neat, I secretly
breathed a sigh of relief, and then I saw her walk up to me again.

"Brother Liu, Manager Wu is looking for you." She looked around, then lowered her head and moved a little closer to me,
saying , "Be careful, he seems a bit unhappy."

Who cares if that old guy is happy or not! This was the first time I'd been this close to Xiangyi. The faint
fragrance was intoxicating, and her breath was gentle and fragrant. For this moment alone, even if Lao Wu was looking for me
to duel, it would be worth it!

I thanked Xiangyi gratefully, but she just smiled and turned to leave, the clattering sound fading into
the distance. I stared at her retreating figure for a moment before heading towards Lao Wu's office.

"Hey, Xiao Liu, how long have you been with the company?" I didn't have the right to challenge Lao Wu. As soon as I entered
the office , the oppressive atmosphere and his barrage of questions overwhelmed me.

"Eight years," I replied, my voice full of guilt.

"Eight years! The company has been supporting you for eight years for nothing!" Lao Wu slammed the report he was holding onto the table,
making no attempt to suppress his anger. I glanced back at the office door; thankfully it was locked, and thankfully Xiangyi
was already far away, so she shouldn't have heard.

"Tell me, do you still want to work here?!" Old Wu asked, trying to calm himself down.

"Of course I do," I replied softly.

"If you want to work here, then act like you do! The new sales staff from last year all had sales this month, and you,
the most senior, have given me the only bald head in the whole department! If this continues, you might as well just take minimum wage and
work full-time repairing computers!" Old Wu exploded again, banging on the desk as he spoke.

It was a beautiful desk, solid wood, more than twice the size of mine, perfectly complementing
Old Wu's short, fat frame. I didn't dare speak, silently thinking.

"I don't want to say anything more to you. I'm deducting half of your basic salary this month!" Old Wu
said angrily, his hand seemingly a little sore from slamming the table.

"This isn't fair..." I protested softly. Without commission, half my salary wouldn't even cover my rent.

"Oh? Not suitable? Then what do you think would be suitable? Go to finance, collect two months' salary, and then get
out !?" Old Wu slammed his fist on the table again. "If it weren't for the fact that you're over thirty and still unemployed, I
would have reported you and applied for your dismissal long ago! You're already an old man, and Xiao Zhang, who joined the company a year after you, is about to be promoted to
team leader next month. Your former apprentices have already climbed above you. If I were you, I wouldn't dare stay here any longer!"

Xiao Zhang was my apprentice when he first joined the company, and we've always had a good relationship, but I've
never heard . Is it to avoid hurting my pride as his mentor?

I gave a wry smile and asked Lao Wu if there was anything else. "No, that's all. Take care of yourself!" Lao Wu
waved his hand impatiently, shooing me out of the office.

"Hey, are you alright?" Xiao Zhang's desk wasn't far from mine, and as soon as I sat down, he came over and
asked .

"I'm fine." I shook my head. "Congratulations! You'll be getting it next month." "

Huh? Lao Wu told you?" Xiao Zhang scratched his head awkwardly. "Isn't it still undecided?"

"Since he said so, it's practically settled. Treat me to dinner tonight to celebrate!" I glanced
at Chu Xiangyi, who was chatting and laughing with the cashier across the glass, and said casually.

"Hey, what's the problem! But don't tell anyone about this, otherwise
it'll be embarrassing if they don't mention me later," Xiao Zhang patted my shoulder and warned me.

Embarrassing? Shouldn't I be the one who's embarrassed? Lao Wu is right, I really don't have the face
to stay at the company anymore. I'm not jealous of Xiao Zhang; his performance has always been excellent. The fact that he's only being mentioned now
is a result of Lao Wu suppressing him.

The reason for the suppression is simple: Xiao Zhang's wife, Xu Wan, was also a colleague at the company four years ago. Although
she wasn't as outstanding as Chu Xiangyi, she was still enough to tempt Lao Wu, who had just divorced at the time. Because Xu Wan was
won over and , and then resigned to find a better job, Lao Wu held a grudge. This promotion must have been
a decision made by higher-ups, not Lao Wu's intention.

I consider Xiao Zhang a friend and sincerely wanted to congratulate him. At the same time, I also wanted to tell him about my planned resignation
. People say one should be established by thirty; I'm thirty-two, useless, and my career hasn't improved in eight years. Maybe I'm
really not cut out for this industry, and finding another way is the real priority. I've been with this company long enough,
and there are many people I'd love to leave, Xiao Zhang is one, and so is Chu Xiangyi. However, Xiao Zhang might miss me, but Chu Xiangyi
won't , so there's no need to say goodbye to her.

We made plans to have hot pot that evening, and Xiao Zhang brought Xu Wan along. When this girl first joined the company, she was just a blond-haired kid.
My friend, now a married woman and a junior project manager at another company, dressed impeccably.
I hadn't seen her much in recent years, and I almost didn't recognize her at first.

"Brother Liu, long time no see!" Xu Wan greeted me warmly. Today, she wore a pale
yellow floral dress, flesh-colored stockings, and white high-heeled sandals. Her hair was tied in a bun at the back of her head.
At twenty-seven, she exuded an elegant and mature charm, even more alluring than when she was at the company.

"Yes, long time no see. You've become more and more beautiful! Xiao Zhang is so lucky." I exchanged pleasantries with her and sat down
. Xiao Zhang was ordering food, constantly asking for our opinions. I wasn't there for the meal, so I smiled and said that we could order whatever we wanted,
just a few bottles of beer would be fine.

"I can't drink with you today, I have a mission lately." Xiao Zhang glanced at Xu Wan with a smile, and the latter
lowered her head shyly. I knew what was going on and didn't insist.

The two had been married for quite some time, but they still didn't have children. Xiao Zhang always said the time wasn't right. After becoming a team leader and taking
a commission, his income doubled. This guy said he hadn't decided yet, but he had already made up his mind.

"Brother Liu, here are two bottles for you to drink yourself. We'll get you some juice," Xu Wan said to me, but I
shook my head and refused: "I'm not drinking. Drinking is about having fun. Seeing you two like this is already enough for me
. It doesn't matter whether there's alcohol or not."

I was quite grateful to Xiao Zhang. It's obvious to everyone that Lao Wu doesn't like me, and no one among my colleagues wants to be
too close to me either. But even now, he still treats me like an older brother. In today's workplace, that kind of favor is rare.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, all the dishes were served, and the hot pot was boiling. I picked up a slice of beef and dipped it into the bubbling red oil
broth , casually mentioning, "Xiao Zhang, I'm thinking of resigning."

"Huh? Why?!" Xu Wan, unaware of my situation at the company, asked in surprise.

"Is it because of Lao Wu? What did he say to you today?" Xiao Zhang wasn't as surprised as Xu Wan. Perhaps
in his eyes, I should have resigned long ago!

"It's nothing. It may not sound nice, but the logic is right." I put a piece of beef in my mouth. "I'm over
thirty . It's not good to keep wasting my time here. I should start thinking about myself. In a while, you two
will both have kids, and I'll still be all alone. That's not right."

"Brother Liu..." Xiao Zhang's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say. He silently cooked a piece of beef and ate it
before asking again, "Have you found a new job?"

"Not yet." I shook my head. "I'm too old for sales. I want to see if there are any suitable
small businesses. I'll go back and borrow some money from my parents to try it out."

"Oh..." Xiao Zhang fell silent again.

"If you ask me, that old Wu is a real scoundrel! Brother Liu has worked for so long, he should..." Xu Wan
stopped mid-sentence, probably thinking that if Old Wu remembered my hard work and promoted me, her husband would
have no chance .

"Brother Liu, you... haven't done anything for me, have you?" Xiao Zhang, sensing the implication in Xu Wan's words,
asked .

"What are you talking about!" I took a sip of juice, finding it incredibly weak, and waved to the waiter for two bottles
of beer. "Even if we didn't mention you, it wouldn't have been my turn anyway, I know that. You did a good job, but you've been suppressed for so
many years , that's what the company owes you. Now that you've made something of yourself, I, as your mentor, am happy too. At least it shows I didn't
accomplish nothing, I at least trained a decent apprentice."

The waiter brought the beer, and I poured myself a glass. Xiao Zhang glanced at Xu Wan and poured himself a glass as well.
The atmosphere became a bit dull because of me; the three of us didn't talk much, just ate and drank. But this way, the food went down quickly, and soon we
were all about 80% full.

"Brother Liu, tell me the truth, did you want to resign yourself, or did Lao Wu force you?" Xiao Zhang hiccuped.
We both have a decent alcohol tolerance, and once we started, we couldn't stop. The two bottles we ordered weren't enough, and now there
are . Xu Wan, being sensible, didn't stop us.

"There's no point in talking about this now," I said, a little dizzy, waving my hand at him. "Today is to congratulate you,
don't keep blaming me."

"No way!" Xiao Zhang slammed his hand on the table. "If he really forced you, even if I, as the team leader, don't mention it anymore,
I'll still get you an explanation!"

I laughed and clinked glasses with him. I thought to myself, why do all leaders love to slam their hands on the table? Old Wu loves to slam his, and now
Xiao Zhang, who's about to become a leader, loves to slam his.

Words spoken at drinking parties don't count. I appreciated Xiao Zhang's loyalty, but I didn't believe the truth of his words. Besides
, even if it were true, what explanation could he possibly get for me? Just have children when it's time!

I admit I resent Lao Wu, but my own poor performance is also a reality. Sometimes I
feel that my resentment towards him is unreasonable, but I just can't control it, especially
when he called Chu Xiangyi into his office. Later, I gradually realized that this wasn't resentment, it was jealousy. It's not sad for a toad to not be able to eat swan meat,
it's sad to be madly eager to eat swan meat.

That day we said a lot of bad things about Lao Wu. Although Xu Wan was no longer in the company, she suffered
the most harassment at that time. Being a woman, she talked a lot and kept talking non-stop. In the end, even I felt that it was all
Lao Wu's fault, that he had wronged me.

As we were leaving, Xiao Zhang said to me, "Since you're planning to leave anyway, aren't you thinking about getting revenge?"

Revenge? How? Storm into his office and beat him up? I can't even afford rent, let
alone medical bills. I know that against Lao Wu, someone of my status would have to lose eight thousand yuan first, and I might not even
be able to actually lose ten thousand yuan. Besides, he has a hundred thousand, a million, and I only have eight thousand.

I shook my head and didn't reply.

"Wait a minute, let me show you a joke." Xiao Zhang downed his drink in one gulp, took out his phone, scrolled through it
for a while, and then handed it to me.

That was a story shared by a netizen on a popular joke website, about getting revenge on their boss. They said they added Viagra to
their boss's coffee, and the boss went to the bathroom three or four times that morning,
staying inside for ages each time.

Our company does have a coffee machine.

(II)

Xu Wan was also there. I couldn't possibly agree to this on the spot, so I silently returned the phone to Xiao Zhang.
After drinking for a while, we were full and started slurring our words. Xu Wan saw it was getting late and paid the bill.

I usually fall asleep quickly after drinking, but this night I tossed and turned, unable to sleep. That joke
kept , and the more I thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Actually, even if I really drugged Old Wu, it wouldn't make much difference. At most, he'd be hiding in his office
masturbating a few times, helping him speed up his path to kidney failure. But for a nobody like me, it might be
the only way I could console myself and vent my anger.

However, I've never tried Viagra before; I've heard it's expensive, and with my limited funds, it's not worth
starving myself just to spite Old Wu. What about regular aphrodisiacs? That's fine, but I have nowhere to buy them,
and even wouldn't know if they were genuine.

A laxative would be better! Suddenly, this thought occurred to me. Imagining Lao Wu
collapsing would be quite satisfying, and it would be cheap too. Hmm, not a bad idea. I drifted off to
sleep with this pleasant fantasy.

The next morning, I was still planning it. Yesterday, I was drunk and my head was spinning, but now that I was sober, I started to
carefully consider its feasibility. If Lao Wu drank the coffee I gave him and immediately got diarrhea, he would definitely
suspect me. Getting a lecture from him would be a minor matter, but if it escalated to the legal system, it would be serious. Alcohol emboldens, but unfortunately
, the alcohol I drank yesterday wasn't strong enough. My courage had almost completely vanished by the time I reached the company gate.

I guess I should just resign. I sat down at my desk, taking advantage of the fact that Chu Xiangyi hadn't arrived yet, so I could
calmly search for how to write a resignation letter on my computer.

Just then, Xiao Zhang arrived at the office, glanced at my computer screen, and discreetly slipped a small paper packet into
my hand. "Brother, that's all I can do for you. Whether you use it yourself or give it to that old man is up to you."
He casually sat down, turned on his computer, tidied his desk, and muttered to me.

Damn it! My mind started racing again.

I went to the restroom, opened the packet, and found a small blue pill inside. I'd never met Viagra,
but I'd heard that popular song from over a decade ago, "Lately I'm Feeling Annoyed," which described something similar.
This Xiao Zhang is willing to spend money on me; it seems he harbors quite a grudge against Lao Wu.

After putting the pills away, I washed my face, shook the water off my hands, and headed out. As I
turned

the corner from the restroom, I heard a soft gasp: "Ah!" The beautiful woman standing in front of me, turning her head away, was Chu Xiangyi. She was still wearing her gray suit and white shirt, but
today she was wearing flesh-colored stockings. Her calves reflected a soft light under the lamp, making me want to swallow hard.

"Good morning, Brother Liu," Xiangyi greeted me, wiping her face with her small hand. I immediately realized that
my gasp was because I had splashed water on her face, and quickly apologized.

"It's alright." She smiled gently. "Manager Wu was angry with you yesterday, wasn't he? Our total
sales , he must be in a bad mood. Don't take it to heart."

"Okay, thank you." I nodded and walked past her, inhaling her fragrance.

I liked her gentleness and thoughtfulness, but I didn't like her speaking up for Lao Wu, and I especially disliked
the implication in her words that Lao Wu taking his anger out on me was perfectly justified. Although I was indeed useless, I
still had the sensitive self-esteem a man should have.

At this moment, I finally made up my mind.

Lao Wu arrived a little late today, but thankfully he showed up before my resolve crumbled. During this time, I secretly
crushed the pill into powder. After seeing him enter the office and patiently waiting for five minutes, I stood up,
poured a cup of coffee, and added the powder to it.

"Come in." His voice came from inside after I knocked. My heart pounded, and I took a few deep breaths
before pushing the door open.

"Manager Wu," I greeted him.

"What is it?" Old Wu looked at me suspiciously. Normally, I would never step into this place unless he summoned me
.

"Manager Wu, I thought about it all night and felt truly ashamed of your years of cultivation, so
I came to express my determination to you first thing this morning." Since I had decided to take revenge, I couldn't say I was resigning now. I went over
and placed the coffee on his desk. "This is coffee for you. I hope you can forgive me and give me another
chance. I promise I'll work even harder in the future."

"Hmm." Old Wu brought the coffee to me, rubbing his fingers on the cup handle. "
It's good that . I know you've had a tough time working at the company for so long. I was wrong yesterday too; I shouldn't have yelled at you so
much. How about this, I won't deduct your basic salary for now. I'll put it on your record, and if there's no
improvement I'll deduct it all."

"Thank you so much!" Hearing this, I really regretted getting revenge. It seems this old guy
still has some conscience. However, it's too late to say anything now. I secretly hoped he would accidentally
drop the cup, then I wouldn't have to feel guilty.

"If there's nothing else, you can go now and get back to work!" Old Wu said, seeing me still standing there
, signaling me to leave. I had no excuse to stay any longer, so I agreed and left.

"Have you had your coffee?" As soon as I sat down, Xiao Zhang came closer and asked.

"Not yet," I shook my head. After all, the coffee I brought in was piping hot, and even if Old Wu wanted some, he would have to
wait a while . I started thinking about how to get it back, but what could I do? I sat there restlessly for
over ten minutes, unable to come up with anything. The coffee cooled down quickly; it was probably drinkable by now. "

Chu Xiangyi, there seems to be a problem with the report you submitted yesterday. Come into my office for a moment!" Old Wu opened the door and called out.
Xiao Zhang and I turned our heads simultaneously, a look of shock crossing our eyes.

"Oh!" Xiangyi, who was secretly eating breakfast inside, her mouth full of food, was startled by Lao Wu's
sudden her face showing confusion. Company reports were always simple, a piece of cake for her;
she'd never made a mistake since she started, and Lao Wu had reviewed the report yesterday. How could there suddenly be a problem today?

Chu Xiangyi didn't know Lao Wu's current state, but Xiao Zhang and I knew perfectly well. At that moment, only two words echoed in my mind:
Oh no!

What to do? What to do? What to do?!

I'd fixed Lao Wu's computer before and knew he had a lot of adult videos on his hard drive. I figured he
'd be masturbating until his legs were sore after drinking coffee, but I never expected him to call Chu Xiangyi in. Although
I know Chu Xiangyi won't have any feelings for Lao Wu, but once she's in that office, alone with a grown man,
what can a delicate young girl like her do if Lao Wu really wants to? Can she resist?

I know Lao Wu is inherently quite cowardly, otherwise he wouldn't have failed
to seduce any of the many beautiful women in the company. But, alcohol emboldens the timid, what about lust? In his current state, can he really resist
forcing himself on Chu Xiangyi? Daring to call Xiangyi in is tantamount to giving me the answer!

"It's okay, Brother Liu, it's just in the office. If you shout, everyone will hear you. What can Lao Wu do?"
Xiao Zhang noticed my worry and came over to comfort me. Although what he said made sense, I was still filled with remorse.
It was because of my damn desire for revenge that my goddess was left alone in that small space facing a
lecherous man on drugs!

Chu Xiangyi went into the office, closed the door, and then there was no further sound. I stared at that
door like an eternity, hoping she would come out in a few minutes as usual, and nothing would happen. But today
, time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly, as if it had stopped. A full ten minutes passed, and the doorknob didn't
turn again.

No, I have to get her out! I started racking my brains for an excuse to go back into Lao Wu's office.
To report on business? I haven't done business in ages! To reaffirm my resolve? I've only been out for less than half
an hour ! No, no! What to do? What to do? This

was the first time I truly understood what it felt like to be an ant on a hot plate. I was so anxious that all I wanted to do was walk over and
kick the door open, pulling my goddess out of her clutches.

"Brother Zhang, someone's looking for you!" Just then, the waitress at the table by the door called out,
drawing everyone's attention. There stood a smart-looking middle-aged man, looking around.

"He's my client," Xiao Zhang said to me, standing up and calling out loudly to the man, "
Brother Gao, over here!" He got up from his seat and walked towards him.

"Hey, Zhang, this place is really hard to find!" The client surnamed Gao responded as he walked over and shook hands with
Zhang . "We talked last time, and I thought your indoor air circulation system was pretty good. I'm considering getting it
installed in our community. I came here today specifically to see the model apartment. Do you have time?"

"Yes! Of course!" Xiao Zhang said with a beaming smile. "The model room isn't far from here. I'll take you to see it right away.
But I'm not exactly an expert in this area. Brother Liu is my mentor, and he knows our system much better than I do.
We both go with you."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhang pointed at me and introduced me to the other person, while winking at me. "Brother Liu, go and
say hello to Manager Wu. We'll go with Brother Gao to take a look. You can explain it to him properly!"

Damn! This kid! I had no idea what he was up to, but I didn't expect him to be
so quick-witted. He just gave me a chance to get into Old Wu's office!

"Okay!" I readily agreed, smiled at Mr. Gao, and strode towards Old Wu's
office .

I appeared calm, but inside I was a whirlwind of thoughts. Reaching the door, I didn't
knock , but turned the handle directly. Surprisingly, the door wasn't locked!

"Look, here, here, and here, there are problems here."

The scene inside the office was different from what I had imagined. Chu Xiangyi sat upright at her desk, holding
a report , her gaze following Old Wu's finger as it moved back and forth on the monitor. Old Wu stood beside her, relatively
close, but not to the point of inappropriate contact. His expression was grave, as if the report truly
had a serious problem.

On the table in front of them, the cup of coffee remained full, steaming hot. No!
Old Wu didn't drink it! In an instant, I thanked every god and Buddha in the world, almost crying with joy.

"Little Liu? What's going on? You're so clumsy, coming in without even knocking!" The two were
startled , and Old Wu questioned me with displeasure.

"Um, I... I went with Little Zhang to meet a client, and I just wanted to say hello." My situation was rather
awkward . Chu Xiangyi's gaze was fixed on my face, and I didn't want to make a bad impression on her, much less
be scolded by Old Wu in front of her.

"Oh, you even bothered to report such a small matter. Go on, go on, learn from Little Zhang!" Old Wu waved his hand
impatiently , saying nothing more. But those words stung me. Seven years ago
, when Xiao Zhang first started working, Lao Wu brought him to me and told him, "Learn from Xiao Liu." Now, the same words were spoken,
but the context was completely different.

I left Lao Wu's office, gently closing the door behind me. In the instant the image disappeared, I heard Lao Wu say to
Chu Xiangyi , "This Xiao Liu, over thirty years old, still so impulsive, has no tact. He's worked here for eight years
and didn't even know I don't like coffee! Sigh..." Damn

it! In my thirty-two years of life, I've realized for the first time that not liking coffee is one of the greatest advantages!

Relieved, my heart, which had been pounding for so long, settled down, and I secretly gave Xiao Zhang an OK sign. The
commotion I caused thankfully didn't escalate into anything serious, and I was in high spirits,
becoming even more attentive to Mr. Gao.

They say you should stand firm until your last shift, and now that I have no more worries, I've decided to take good care of this last
client, and then decisively resign tomorrow morning!

Mr. Gao was very meticulous, asking very professional questions. He stayed in the room all morning, and even after lunch,
he didn't leave, returning to the model room to continue explaining further.

During our conversation, I learned he was the project manager for a high-end residential development, and his purpose in visiting was
to our company's indoor water recycling system into one of their upcoming projects. In other words
, this is a huge deal that, once closed, will provide for you for three or four years!

"How about it? If you don't quit, this client is yours." While Mr. Gao was tinkering in the kitchen
, Xiao Zhang whispered to me. If he gets promoted next month, he won't have to negotiate deals personally; he'll get a commission no matter who the client
is with it's a favor, after all.

"Really?" I quit because of my lack of sales; if I were to close a contract worth tens of millions, who the hell
would want to quit!

"Really!" Xiao Zhang nodded firmly. I almost burst into tears. First, there was a surprise on Goddess Chu's end...
No worries, another big client has fallen from the sky! Could my luck be getting a little too good today?

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Liu," Mr. Gao said, coming out of the kitchen, "I think your product is excellent!"

My throat was practically leaping out of my chest! Holy crap, gold ingots really fell from the sky?!

"However," he abruptly changed the subject, "this concept is a bit ahead of its time, and the cost is too high. I'm not
sure if it's suitable to import it on a large scale right now. I need to go back and report to my supervisor for approval .
Thank you both for your help today!"

His words sank my heart. He said it was because of the high cost, but he hadn't even confirmed the lowest possible
price . His so-called "reporting for approval" was just an excuse. My get-rich-quick dream was
shattered in less than a minute. I guess I really have to quit!

After leaving the show flat and seeing Mr. Gao off, it was almost time to leave work, so I didn't go back to the company.
Xiao Zhang had to pick up Xu Wan and left in a hurry, so I ate a bowl of noodles nearby and went back to my room.

I searched for a resignation letter template on my computer, made some changes, and dragged it to a USB drive. I watched a movie for a while and then
went to bed early. I didn't sleep well last night, and today I still couldn't sleep because my mind was racing. You know, people are just like that; I
finally made up my mind, but then I thought about Chu Xiangyi, and the thought of never seeing her again made me feel really reluctant.

"When you're full and warm, lust takes hold." As I pondered this, I began to imagine
what Old Wu would do to Chu Xiangyi if he had actually drunk that coffee today…

I imagined Old Wu, blinded by lust, holding the struggling Chu Xiangyi, taking off her high heels, tearing off
her stockings, pressing her down on that huge office desk, lifting her skirt, and thrusting his
erect penis into her body from behind, pumping relentlessly amidst her cries.

I imagined Chu Xiangyi enduring the immense pain of losing her virginity, her face streaked with tears, yet under the man's rape, she involuntarily
succumbed to lust, half-heartedly yielding as she thrust her hips.

I imagined Old Wu taking off her shirt, removing her bra, and groping her magnificent breasts with his hands, kneading
her erect nipples wantonly.

I imagined Chu Xiangyi moaning in a daze, turning her head to embrace Old Wu's fat
neck , and passionately kissing him with her cherry-like lips...

Damn it! I've read too many erotic novels!

I don't know why I'm thinking these things, but my penis is swelling and tightening uncomfortably because of these imagined scenes
. I put my hand inside my underwear and continue imagining, unable to stop myself.

I imagined Chu Xiangyi's tender flesh, glistening with virgin blood and splattered vaginal fluid,
being thrust ; I imagined Chu Xiangyi biting her fingers, desperately suppressing her wanton moans; I imagined
Chu Xiangyi's slender legs tightly wrapped around Old Wu's thick, barrel-like waist, her delicate little feet, encased in tattered stockings
, constantly stretching and clenching, her toes opening and closing; I imagined Old Wu finally
ejaculating , then using his foul mouth to silence her screams of unbridled climax...

I imagined all this, and then I ejaculated hard in bed.

After my desire subsided, I slept soundly. The next day, I arrived at
the company . As I entered the elevator, I ran into Xiao Chen from the office.

Although Xiao Chen was a man, he had a mouth that was more gossipy than a woman's, always chattering
and gossiping. Nobody liked him, but no one could deny that he was always the most well-informed person in the company
.

"Good morning, Brother Liu!" Xiao Chen greeted me warmly, but I felt his gaze was
a little .

"Good morning," I replied with a smile. No matter how much I disliked him, he was still
a colleague After today, we probably wouldn't see each other again, so of course I wouldn't greet him with a bad face.

We went into the elevator together. The company was on the 24th floor, and most of the offices below were rented out.
Employees from different companies crammed the small space full, and Xiao Chen and I were squeezed into the corner, shoulder to shoulder.

"This lousy elevator, it'll cause pregnant women to miscarry sooner or later!" Xiao Chen
muttered angrily, half his body pressed against the glass.

"Yeah!" I wasn't as upset as him and casually agreed, "But at least I won't have to
squeeze in anymore."

"Huh? Why?" Xiao Chen turned to me and asked.

"I'm planning to resign." I didn't want to hide it and answered frankly.

"Huh? Weren't you not at the company yesterday?" Xiao Chen exclaimed in surprise, "So, you knew everything
?"

"Know what?" I didn't understand what he meant.

"Uh...nothing." Xiao Chen shook his head, but continued to mutter softly, "I wonder what
job you resigned from..."

His words made me suspicious. Could something have happened to me while I wasn't at the company yesterday
?

The elevator stopped on the nineteenth floor, and a large group of people rushed out
. I didn't care about anything else and pulled Xiao Chen down with me. "Hey! What are you doing? We're not there yet!" Xiao Chen was caught off guard and stumbled as I pulled him
. He tried to turn around and get back into the elevator, but I held him tightly.

"Tell me, what happened yesterday?" I asked him with a stern face.

"Sigh... Why are you asking so many questions if you're planning to quit?" Xiao Chen
shook his head , seemingly unwilling to tell me, but his gossipy nature kicked in, and after a pause, he continued, "
Do you like Chu Xiangyi?"

"Of course! Who doesn't like her?" I shrugged, deliberately misinterpreting his question.

"Hey, you don't need to argue, the whole company can see you drooling over her every day!" Xiao Chen
chuckled , looked around, and leaned closer to whisper, "Yesterday, the relationship between Goddess Chu and Lao Wu was practically public
!"

(Part Three)

"Yesterday, the relationship between Goddess Chu and Lao Wu was practically public!"

Hearing this, my mind went completely blank! What relationship do Chu Xiangyi and Lao Wu have!?

"I thought you found out about this and were so disheartened that you wanted to resign!" Xiao Chen continued mysteriously
, "Yesterday morning, wasn't Goddess Chu called to Old Wu's office? You and Brother Zhang left shortly after,
so you didn't know she stayed inside for a whole day and didn't even come out for lunch!"

"No...no!" I screamed internally, "It can't be!
I saw Chu Xiangyi working on the reports in there yesterday."

"Hehe! She made quite a commotion with those reports, even losing her stockings," Xiao Chen
grinned .

"How is that possible? Xiangyi was wearing flesh-colored stockings yesterday, are you sure you're not mistaken?" I couldn't believe him
. When I left, the two people in the office seemed perfectly normal, they hadn't even had their coffee, how could
things have progressed that far!

"Tch! You think you're the only one in the office staring at Chu Xiangyi's legs all day? If I was the only one who was wrong,
does that mean everyone else was?" Xiao Chen scoffed. "Besides, they
came out together yesterday afternoon. Old Wu was holding Chu Xiangyi's arm, and judging by Chu Xiangyi's gait, her legs were practically weak she couldn't walk! All
day long, tsk tsk..."

How could this be? How could this be!? I was completely speechless. I thought I could
leave , but why did things turn out this way? I don't believe Xiangyi and Old Wu have anything going on; it must be
that Old Wu drank that cup of coffee later! So, did I ruin Chu Xiangyi's life?

"Hey bro, what's with us standing around outside someone else's company? Let's get to work!"

The elevator stopped again, and Xiao Chen pulled me inside without a word, joining a few other colleagues
on the 24th floor. Although everyone just exchanged brief greetings, I could sense that their gazes towards me
were just as strange as when they saw Xiao Chen. Perhaps they were all watching with
a smug, one-eyed schadenfreude as the swan flew away!

I was the one who ruined Chu Xiangyi, handing over my goddess to someone else to be defiled! Suppressed
and tormented by these thoughts, I walked into the office in a daze. Chu Xiangyi's seat was empty, and Lao Wu's door was closed. I
numbly looked around and saw Xiao Zhang already sitting at the table.

"Xiao Zhang, come out with me for a second," I called out to him. He looked up, gave
me a complicated look, and without saying a word, stood up and walked over.

In the quiet stairwell, we each lit a cigarette. Before I could even ask anything, he
spoke first: "Brother Liu, I know what you want to say. I heard what they said." Xiao Zhang took a deep drag on his cigarette and
rubbed his hair. "I know what you're thinking too. I've been thinking about this the whole time."

"..." I didn't know how to respond and silently smoked.

"If you ask me, although we're both involved, it's not entirely our fault," he
continued when I didn't speak.

"How the hell aren't you angry? I drugged Xiangyi, and Lao Wu took it!" I was agitated, my voice
a little loud, and Xiao Zhang quickly gestured for me to be quiet.

"I just asked a few colleagues carefully. Yesterday, after we left, Chu Xiangyi did
n't come out, but there was no noise coming from inside either." Xiao Zhang smoked quickly, finishing his cigarette in a few puffs
. "Lao Wu's house is so close; if Chu Xiangyi struggled or shouted, they could
hear it . But they said there was no noise yesterday, so I don't think Lao Wu necessarily used force
."

"You mean..." I understood the implication in his words, the implication I least wanted to admit:
"Chu Xiangyi was willing?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Zhang nodded. "I think maybe they've been having an affair for a while, but Lao Wu's stamina
isn't good, so Chu Xiangyi never stays in his office for long, and nobody suspects anything. But yesterday Lao Wu
took some medication , and it lasted a lot longer, so he gave himself away. If it were really forced,
the police would probably be investigating in our office by now, right?"

Despite my reluctance, I had to admit he had a point. But Chu Xiangyi, the girl I
'd been secretly watching for so long, I'd never once thought she was the kind of
woman who would engage in this kind of "pillow business"!

"Brother Liu, let me give you some advice." Xiao Zhang threw his cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out. "Although we're the ones who
caused , no one suspects it yet. You're leaving anyway, so there's no need to create any more trouble. If Chu Xiangyi
is really that kind of woman, she's not worth doing anything for. Besides, to put it bluntly,
a woman of that caliber isn't someone a man like us can mess with. It's better to avoid trouble and just let it go!"

Just let it go? If my actions hadn't harmed Chu Xiangyi, but had only accidentally uncovered
her secret relationship with Lao Wu... maybe then, it would just have to be this way! But
the goddess I've secretly liked for so long shouldn't be that kind of person!

I didn't say anything more to Xiao Zhang. I silently walked back to my office, ignoring the strange looks from my colleagues, and
then stared blankly at the empty seat in front of me.

Chu Xiangyi didn't come all morning, and neither did Lao Wu.

At lunchtime, Xiao Zhang dragged me to lunch. He seemed to have recovered quickly, looking completely nonchalant, but
I still couldn't get over that hurdle in my heart. I told him I had no appetite and declined his invitation. He shrugged and left with the others
, leaving me alone in the office.

The finance cubicle wasn't locked. I stared at that chair for a while longer, then, as if driven by some force, I slowly
stood up, like a ghost, and slowly approached it. That was
a place . This was the first time I'd stood there, bent down, and reached out, gently stroking
the chair Chu Xiangyi had sat in. It was cold, devoid of warmth, just icy leather.

On her desk was a small framed photo of her in her graduation gown, wearing black-rimmed glasses, standing outside
the university gates, arms outstretched, a radiant smile on her face. My fingertips traced that smiling face,
and I simply couldn't
reconcile . I still couldn't believe she would do such a thing. At this moment, I'd rather it was my drugging
that led to her being raped by Lao Wu than feel the shattering of a perfect goddess statue in my heart.

"Squeak~~" The sudden sound of the door opening startled me. I instinctively took a step back, putting some distance between myself and Chu Xiangyi's
desk and chair , before turning around to see Old Wu's head peeking out of his office. This guy
had been in there the whole time!

"Little Liu? Didn't you go to eat?" Old Wu was also surprised to see me, but immediately put on a smile.

"No." I awkwardly walked out of the finance office, without explaining why I was inside, and Old Wu
didn't press me.

"..."

An unexpected encounter, neither of us knew what to say. After a long silence, I finally made up my mind and spoke: "
Manager Wu , I want to resign!"

Actually, I had many questions for him, but I didn't dare. I didn't know how to start, nor did I know
what right I had to ask those questions. Right now, I just wanted to escape, to escape the fear deep inside me,
the fear that behind that not-quite-open door was my goddess, Chu Xiangyi.

"Resign? Come in and talk!" Old Wu paused for a moment, then opened the door completely. There was no one else inside.

"Why? Because I snapped at you? But didn't we agree on this yesterday?"
Old Wu asked as soon as I sat down.

"Nothing, I just feel like I might not be suited for this job." I lowered my head, relieved that I hadn't
seen Chu Xiangyi, but then I remembered that even without seeing her, I couldn't deny
what happened here yesterday, and my heart ached again.

"Oh? You've been doing this for eight years and only now you realize you're not suited for it? That's a long time coming!" Old Wu chuckled
, but seeing that I wasn't going to laugh, he stopped his pointless joke: "There must be other
reasons right?"

"No." I shook my head.

"Hey! Young man, you're so dishonest." Old Wu chuckled, picked up a cigarette from the table, and tossed one to me:
"I bet there were a lot of rumors going around the office this morning, about me and Xiangyi."

"..." I looked up, silently staring at him.

"Sigh, looks like it." Old Wu lit his cigarette and shook his head: "Such a small matter, yet it's caused such a fuss."

"Manager Wu, you and Chu Xiangyi..." I couldn't help but ask.

"What?" Old Wu probably already understood what I meant, but pretended not to understand. Behind the smoke he exhaled was
a disgusting old face with a smirking grin.

"She's your mistress?" I gritted my teeth and asked.

"Pfft..." Old Wu exhaled another wisp of smoke, blowing away the thick fog in front of him. "Little Liu, I
hope you understand that this is our private matter, and we don't need to explain it to you. Besides, Xiangyi and I are both single,
and the word 'mistress' is too strong a word."

"I understand." He spoke vaguely, but his words clearly acknowledged my feelings, and I no longer harbored any illusions.

"I know you like Xiangyi," Old Wu said again, "but feelings can't be forced. If you're
resigning because of my relationship with Xiangyi, I must say, you're immature. Every company has
beautiful women that everyone envies. If you choose to run away just because you can't have them, that's incredibly irrational."

"Manager Wu, thank you for your wise words." I didn't want to hear another word he said. "However, I
've thought it through, and I'm resigning!"

"Hmm..." Old Wu stared at me for a moment, then laughed and tossed me a newly opened pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from the table:
"Take this. You're unemployed now, so every penny saved counts."

"Thanks." I took the cigarettes and stuffed them into my pocket.

"Xiangyi hasn't been feeling well these past couple of days, so she might not be coming to work. You'd better wait until she comes to
settle your wages."

Hmph, now that their relationship is public, she's already legitimately enjoying special treatment? A pang of
pain shot through me, and I suppressed the urge to throw the ashtray on the table at Old Wu.

"I think, since I don't have much work to do anyway, I'll come back to complete the paperwork when Chu Xiangyi comes to work
!" I didn't want to stay any longer, so I stood up as I spoke.

"Alright." Old Wu remained leaning back in his boss's chair, showing no intention of seeing me off. I didn't say
anything more , shrugged, and turned to open the door.

"By the way, Xiao Liu, you've worked for me for so long, I have something for you to hear."
Just as the door was about to close, Lao Wu's voice sounded behind me. I turned around and peeked at him through the crack in the door. He
clicked a few times on the computer, and then a melodious moan flowed from the speakers.

"Mmm... a little lighter... a little slower... too deep..."

I'd never heard a girl say those words before, but I could easily recognize her voice. That wanton
moan was undoubtedly from Chu Xiangyi.

"Bang!" The door locked behind me.

I didn't contact anyone, nor did I tidy my desk. Like a dog with its spine broken, I
walked slowly with my head down, out of the office, into the elevator, and pressed the button.

When I first joined the company, the HR manager pointed to the elevator and said to us, "When you step into this place, each
illuminated floor signifies that you've climbed another step in your life. Twenty-four is your
current endpoint, but also the starting point for your future. I hope that one day, you can use this as a foundation to rise
to even greater heights!"

Eight years later, I left this place, and my life, along with each floor's indicator light, plummeted to its lowest point. I

finished the soft Zhonghua cigarettes Lao Wu gave me in one go, the smoke burning my heart,
liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys along with the strong, cheap liquor. For two days, I didn't contact anyone, and no one contacted me. In that small room
, I numbed myself again and again, but even after vomiting everything in my stomach, I couldn't get rid of the
excruciating pain. When I was spying on Chu Xiangyi in the office, I never imagined I had
fallen for her to this extent.

On the morning of the third day, I received a call from an unfamiliar number.

"Hello!" Having not spoken a word for two days, my lips were practically glued together, and it took a lot of effort
to produce a hoarse sound.

"Hello, Brother Liu, this is Xiangyi." The voice on the other end of the line was as sweet as ever. 'Mmm… a little gentler… a little slower… too deep…' Almost instantly, that moan echoed

in my mind again. 　　"Brother Liu?" Chu Xiangyi urged uncertainly on the other end. 　　"Yes, sorry, I'm here." I tried to keep my voice steady and answered calmly. 　　"Um, I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time. I'm already at work. If you have time today, you can come and complete your resignation procedures." She said softly, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Also, if it's convenient , could we have dinner together tonight?"

Chu Xiangyi invited me to dinner! If it were before, I probably would have jumped for joy. But now,
with her moans still echoing in my head, I simply replied, "Why?"

"Nothing much. We've been colleagues for over a year, but we've never eaten together. Now that you're leaving, I feel
a bit sad," she said.

She said she was sad to see me go.

"Where?" Faced with the words "sad to see you go," I gritted my teeth again and again, but ultimately couldn't refuse.

"Come to my place, I'll cook for you." She seemed relieved. "I'll text you the address."

"Okay."

*** *** *** ***

Only two days had passed, and returning to the company already felt like a lifetime ago. Chu Xiangyi was still dressed
radiantly , showing no sign of anything amiss. She remained remarkably calm throughout the entire process of completing the formalities,
never mentioning dinner. If she hadn't quietly told me as I left, "I'll be waiting for
you at home at eight o'clock tonight," I would have almost thought the phone call I received that morning was a hallucination.

Xiao Zhang wasn't there; he must have gone out to meet a client. Old Wu saw me to the door, again
not mentioning a word , but his smile held a hint of ambiguity.

I went outside, carrying my suitcase, and turned into a nearby alley, selling everything to a scrap metal
yard . Then I stood by the roadside, feeling lost and disoriented.

It was still a long time before 8 PM. I stood there, gazing up at the tall office building,
counting down to the twenty-fourth floor, looking at the small window, wondering what Chu Xiangyi was doing now. Was she as
anxious as I was about her date that evening? What was Lao Wu doing? Was he still locked up, watching his sex video with
the company goddess? Or perhaps, were they even together...?

I couldn't think any further. I took out my phone and called Xiao Zhang. I hadn't properly
said goodbye to him since resigning.

"Brother Liu, what's wrong?" It was noisy on the other end of the line, filled with the blaring of car horns; he seemed to be in
the middle of the city .

"It's nothing, just wanted to let you know I came back today to renew my job. I didn't see you, so I just wanted to say
hello ." At this point, only Xiao Zhang's voice could offer me a sliver of warmth.

"Oh! Oh! What brings you here today? I'm out here!" Xiao Zhang paused, then scolded
me, "You didn't even give me a heads-up! I was hoping to have another meal with you!"

"It's okay, I just resigned, I'm not dead. There will be plenty of opportunities to eat! You should focus on your work."

I joked with him, but then I heard a hissing sound from the receiver, and then the line went dead. He didn't call back. I
tried calling again, but couldn't get through. He must have gone somewhere with no signal.

After waiting a while, he didn't call back. I checked the cash in my pocket, thinking that since it was our first time
having dinner together, I should go to her house and bring a gift as a courtesy. So I went into a shopping mall. But the things
were too expensive . If it were before, I would have been willing to spend money for her, but now, I only bought some fruit.

At 7:55, I rang Chu Xiangyi's doorbell.

"Brother Liu is here, please come in."

Before seeing her, I was worried that it would be Lao Wu who opened the door for me, but thankfully it wasn't.

Not at the company, Xiangyi's attire was also very casual. Her long hair was clipped back with hair clips, and she wore a
pink full-body apron. Two slender legs covered in black stockings peeked out from under the hem, and her little feet were in cartoon
plastic slippers. If it weren't for the two white bra straps visible on her shoulders, I would have almost thought she was wearing
nothing but an apron and stockings.

I looked down; there were no men's slippers in the entryway, and I wondered if I should take them off before going in.
Seeing quickly said, "No need to change your shoes," and took the bag from my hand.

"Brother Liu, please have a seat for a moment, I'll just cook one more dish." The sizzling
sound Chu Xiangyi called out and hurried off. Only after she turned around did I notice she was wearing a white
tank top, revealing her snow-white shoulders and a large expanse of smooth back; she wore very short denim shorts, the hem
almost revealing the edge of her buttocks; the black pantyhose underneath were embroidered with delicate patterns,
adding a mysterious allure to her long, straight legs.

Even though I repeatedly reminded myself that she was no longer the goddess I worshipped, Chu Xiangyi still
possessed a damnably fatal attraction for me.

I laughed at myself inwardly. A woman willing to be played with and exploited by Lao Wu at will, even having videos recorded
for his amusement—yet I was swallowing hard as I watched her retreating figure.

I went inside and sat down on the sofa. The house wasn't large, but it was very tidy.
Several plates of home-cooked dishes were already laid out on the coffee table. There weren't any expensive ingredients, but they were exquisitely prepared and smelled delicious.

For a single man, having food on the table and a beautiful woman in the room was the dream life, not to mention that
the food was so appetizing and the woman so ethereal. I have to admit, setting aside her willingness to be a mistress
, Chu Xiangyi was indeed perfect.

After sitting for a while, Xiangyi brought out a plate, pulled up a single sofa, and sat down opposite me. To be honest, this
was my first time dining at a female colleague's house. Although my feelings were quite complicated, my demeanor could
be summed up . Xiangyi also seemed uneasy. When the food was served, she didn't invite me to eat; she
just bit her lower lip and stared blankly.

I knew she must have something to say to me, but what could it be? Her relationship with Lao Wu
was already public knowledge, so asking me to keep it a secret or to be honest with me was pointless, and besides, she
had no reason to tell me.

So, was she really just reluctant to part with a colleague who was about to leave? I don't consider myself that charming. I've been secretly watching her for over a year and she's never turned her head once. If that's enough to make her reluctant to part, then I'd probably cry three times when
the neighborhood committee auntie downstairs retires. 　　"Bang!" Xiangyi seemed to have finally made up her mind, throwing her chopsticks on the table and looking at me. I also looked up at her. 　　"He raped me." She finally spoke: "Thanks to you!" 　(IV) 　　"He raped me. Thanks to you!" 　　Chu Xiangyi dropped this bombshell before dinner even started, and my brain hadn't even...

Before I could even process what it meant, my heart had been torn in two. Pain, yet a trembling excitement
.

Rape! Thanks to you!

Perhaps deep down I had been searching for excuses to deny the possibility that Chu Xiangyi was actually a slut,
so when those words entered my ears, that stubborn conviction immediately leaped out, overturning all my previous
assumptions and taking the blame for forcing this goddess into a relationship with that beast.

Chu Xiangyi, not Old Wu's mistress, it was all my fault! I was overjoyed to discover this fact; I had
never happier than now, knowing I had committed a colossal mistake.

"I don't understand what you mean." But I still tried to argue, saying that
Chu Xiangyi couldn't possibly know the details of this whole affair, so why would she suddenly say something like that?

"Don't you understand?" Chu Xiangyi's face was filled with deep resentment: "Why did you drug me?"

Drug me? These four words sent a shiver down my spine, and I thought of a
possibility : "That cup of coffee... did you drink it?"

I had once seen a news report about a teenage girl who had been taking Viagra for a long time to treat an illness. It didn't
mention the side effect of arousing lust. It was precisely because I knew that Viagra didn't have the same effect on women as it did on men that
I had never thought about the possibility that Chu Xiangyi had actually drunk that cup of coffee. But now, looking back, Xiao Zhang never
told me that what he gave me was Viagra. It was a prank; he didn't need to go to such great lengths. If
what I added to the coffee that day was just a regular aphrodisiac…

"Are you willing to admit it?" Chu Xiangyi wasn't happy to hear that I hadn't denied it; instead, large
tears streamed down her face. "Why did you do this? I heard from my colleagues that you liked me, so I
trusted you, thought you were a good person, and believed you wouldn't harm me. But you drugged me and then
appeared at his office door at that time, making me believe that the coffee was safe. If it weren't for you, I
would never have drunk anything Wu Jinquan gave me!"

"No! It's not like that! Let me explain!" I never imagined that what happened that day would turn out like this! Xiangyi
is right, it's all my fault, but she still misunderstood me.

"Explain yourself! Tell me what evil intentions you had to do such a thing!" Chu Xiangyi cried
uncontrollably, tears blurring her light eye makeup, making her look heartbreaking.

"I... I didn't drug you, I was just playing a prank, just to get revenge on Wu Jinquan because
he lashed out at me the day before, I really didn't expect it to turn out like this..." I explained frantically, but
I saw Chu Xiangyi's eyes grow colder and colder.

"Is that all you've prepared for my interrogation? Is this the ridiculous lie you came up with?"
Her body trembled violently with sobs and anger. "You want to tell me you just played a harmless
little joke, and that my being assaulted was all a coincidence? That it's my own
fault for ?!"

"No...no..." Faced with her sharp questioning, I didn't know how to respond.

"Enough." Chu Xiangyi sighed. "At this point, there's nothing I can do. I
have no evidence, and no way to punish you. Even if I expose this, only
my reputation will be damaged. But I'm so unwilling to accept this..."

Chu Xiangyi's voice was heartbroken, and every word made me tremble. She looked up at me,
her eyes brimming with tears. "I just want you to tell me, did you conspire with him? Now, whenever
I close my eyes , I see what happened that day. It terrifies me, it even makes me want to die. I
know I can't get revenge, but at least I want to know who I should hate. Wu Jinquan said he was innocent, that it
was all because of your coffee, and now you say you were just playing a prank. Is it all
my fault?!"

"No…no…" I repeated weakly, unsure how to face
the heartbroken girl's questioning. Why? Why did a small act of revenge escalate to this?

"Then tell me what! Tell me whose fault it is, okay?" Chu Xiangyi was almost
out of control , shouting at me with tears streaming down her face.

"It's me! It's all my fault!" Tormented by my conscience, I roared at her with all my might, "It's all my
fault! I shouldn't have secretly watched you behind your back, shouldn't have thought about you every single day, shouldn't have been so distracted by my feelings for you and my
fantasies that my grades kept getting worse and worse; and I shouldn't have blamed others for these mistakes and gone on some
pointless revenge! It's all because of me, I'm sorry, Xiangyi, I'm so sorry..."

"You..." Chu Xiangyi stared blankly at my roaring self, and said incredulously, "
