[Urban] Who Will Have Sex with You Tonight (Full) - 28-30

Chapter 173

Xinfen was still trembling. She knew that once her only sister
discovered beloved younger sister, blood was thicker than water, and she might never forgive her for what she had done. But
it didn't matter, because the words "stealing a lover" and "betraying a sister" were already etched in her memory. She would
always remember how Weiqiang had kissed her sister in front of her...

In fact, while Xinfen was still stunned behind the refrigerator, the two perverted Uncle Pengs and
Uncle Bing, who were in cahoots with him, had already gone into a pitch-black woodshed. It wasn't

until the iron door of the woodshed was closed with a loud "bang" that she snapped out of her daze and darted out
like an arrow, rushing to a corner of the backyard.

"Ugh... Waaaaah..." Just as Xinfen, filled with despair, rushed to
the backyard , a loud, desperate struggle echoed from inside the woodshed.

In the secluded woodshed, where not a ray of sunlight could be seen, Uncle Peng, holding a candle,
was lighting an oil lamp to illuminate the room. Meanwhile, the lewd Uncle Bing was violently
grabbing a young girl who had strayed into his den, forcing her body against a pile of hay in the woodshed, and then
ripping off the burlap sack covering her head.

Suddenly, Uncle Bing, who looked like he was wolfing down his food, hurled a scornful insult at her tear-stained, red face
: "Hahaha! Brother Peng, look at our prey, still crying!"

"Little Ni, I bet you hate your uncle right now, but ever since you first started living
under someone else's roof , you've already expected something like this to happen to you, haven't you? You might as well think
about how your stepfather raped and assaulted you back then. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck!"

"Ugh... ugh ugh ugh..." Xin Ni, whose limbs were tightly bound with hemp rope, was terrified and tried to get away
, but she was too weak to move.

"Oh dear! Brother Peng, stop being so kind to her. No matter how good you are to her, she won't forgive you anymore. I
suggest you just take action!" Uncle Bing grabbed Xin Ni, who was already trembling with fear, with one hand to prevent her
from struggling, while pressing her down on the haystack with the other.

"Hmm, that makes a lot of sense. By the way! Did you bring the things I asked you to prepare for me?"

At this moment, Uncle Peng walked to the haystack in front of her. Xin Ni, covered in sweat, saw another
lewd , and her heart sank. She instinctively let out another scream of struggle.

"Hehehe! How could I forget something so important? This is the aphrodisiac perfume you wanted.
You just need to spray a tiny drop on her nose. I had a friend smuggle this
into the country from the Middle East a while ago, so don't waste my good stuff!" Upon hearing this, Uncle Bing
ignored the shouts coming from the haystack and casually took out a small bottle that looked like a liquid from his pocket.
The bottle in his hand was filled with a strange, dark purple liquid.

Uncle Peng hesitated for a moment, looking at the bottle in his hand, before asking, "Wow! You
think you can change her personality with this weird stuff? That seems a bit unreliable!"

"Brother Peng! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know the effects of this medicine. If you don't believe me, I can show
you what this good stuff is!" Seeing the other's puzzled look, Uncle Bing
hurriedly explained, his lecherous eyes immediately turning away from the haystack. Since he entered the room,
his eyes had never left Xinni's beautiful figure, his lecherous gaze fixed on her fair, firm breasts and soft
, white cleavage.

"Alright, it wouldn't hurt to test its power. Let's get started!"
Uncle said with a smile.

"Ugh...ugh..." Xinni, still struggling desperately on the haystack, didn't know what the mysterious
liquid was for, but just looking at its color was terrifying. She was sure it wasn't good news, so
she frantically mustered her strength in her bound limbs and began to struggle desperately, trying to escape this dangerous situation.

"Hehe! Then this little brother will gladly accept your offer. The virginity-breaking ceremony will begin now!" Uncle Peng immediately heard the other party
laughing, his eyes fixed on Xinni on the haystack. Clearly, she was no longer the little girl she used to be,
yet his reluctant gaze was still fixed on her alluring body. It seemed he couldn't wait
to kiss those pink peach-like lips, so tempting.

"Waaaaah... Waaaah... Waaaah..." Xinni's limbs were bound with rough hemp ropes, her long
, soft hair swaying wildly. Her eyes instantly showed a very tragic expression as she cried, her face unrecognizable,
her sobs like wolves. Even Uncle Peng, who had lived with her for many years, would be stunned and speechless upon seeing her.

Chapter 174

"Hehe! Brother Peng, a grown man should be bold and decisive.
What are you standing there for, all dressed up? Hurry up and come help me hold her limbs down!" Uncle Bing could no longer contain his lust. As he
took off his clothes one by one, he turned his head and suddenly shouted.

"Ah...okay...okay." Uncle Peng snapped back to reality, nodding repeatedly, but his eyes remained fixed on Xinni on
the haystack . Finally, he made up his mind, stripped off his own clothes, and prepared to experience a
battle of lust.

"Quickly help me restrain her limbs so I can spray this aphrodisiac perfume on her face. Once it
takes effect, we're going to fuck your adopted daughter until her labia are turned inside out! Hahaha!" Uncle Bing
immediately lay down on the haystack, grabbing Xinni's neck with one hand, giving orders with composure.

"Won't this cause a death? I don't want to end up in jail!" The rather cunning Uncle Peng suddenly
asked.

"Don't worry! I guarantee this beautiful, delicate beauty will turn into a wanton
slut ! You have to trust my judgment! Hahaha!" Uncle Bing lewdly said as he
pulled down his underwear, revealing a erect male penis in the dim light of the oil lamp, though it was
rather small, only about four or five centimeters long.

"Ughhhhh..." Xinni, still struggling in her death throes, suddenly opened her eyes. Although the unfamiliar penis in front of her was nothing
compared to her father's genitals back then, the young girl still had her pride, and besides, she wasn't one to give in easily.
The girl, who was defecating, saw the small, erect penis in front of her. Her eyes seemed to pop out
of their sockets , her face flushed, and she quickly turned her face away to avoid his gaze.

"Brother Peng, is your camera ready? After all, it's rare to
see such a scene of defilement again! On the other hand, we can also use this video to blackmail her into making a sound! It's killing two birds with one stone!
Hahaha !" Uncle Bing said to his old friend beside him, then lewdly looked down at
Xinni, who was now crying with tears streaming down her face, while his penis throbbed as if stimulated.

"Are you blind? The camera is already set up, right in the corner next to you." After giving
a , Uncle Peng quickly pulled down his underwear,
revealing a huge penis that looked like the Monkey King's staff. It was erect and hard, and even the glans was clearly red and swollen
, like a big red date, very impressive.

"Your mother's stinking cunt! It's even longer than mine!" Uncle Bing
was quite
displeased He muttered to himself, "But it's useless if it's long, because the protagonist who's going to deflower me today
is me! Whether it's big or small, long or short, it doesn't matter at all. You've missed out! Quickly hold her down
!"

"Ugh... Ahh..." Xin Ni, who was tied to the ground like a crab,
couldn't change the minds of these two elderly men no matter how much she screamed. In this situation, her heart,
which was like a dark hell, was more painful than death, but she couldn't escape this torment and find a way out.

At this moment, while his hands were busy holding down the beauty on the haystack, Uncle Peng saw his loyal
old friend calmly pick up the mysterious perfume in his hand and carefully spray it on Xinni's delicate nose.
He could almost feel Xinni's fair and alluring body tense up instantly.

"Ugh... ugh... ugh... ugh..." Xinni, who was being restrained on the haystack, was simply crying out to
heaven and earth in vain. Her wolf-like howls suddenly shook the heavens and the earth.

Uncle Bing pinched and kneaded her trembling cheeks for a while, lewdly laughing
as he said , "Don't move! The faster you move, the faster your sense of smell will rush to your brain, and soon you'll
feel very excited and itchy! Hahahaha!"

No sooner had he said this than, less than a few seconds later, Xinni, who had been trembling and struggling in resistance... In an instant,
her face inexplicably took on a contrasting color, becoming much rosier, and
the tension between her delicate brows and forehead relaxed. Under the stimulation of the inexplicable alcohol in her perfume, her complexion and
refined features changed drastically in an instant, her face appearing pale for a moment, then rosy for a moment, and finally showing a stunning transformation with a
blush !

In the next few moments, Xinni's alluring body suddenly flushed, and her expression
had become slightly lustful. Her classically beautiful almond-shaped eyes squinted
open exhaled soft breaths from either side of her delicate nose, while a wanton, coquettish moan naturally escaped her cherry lips
.

In the dimly lit, yellowish woodshed, besides the faint yellow light of an oil lamp
, stood two naked, engorged,
lustful .

In less than a quarter of an hour, under the inexplicable influence of alcohol, Xinni, who still retained a sliver of consciousness, seemed
to disregard any semblance of modesty befitting a young woman. She couldn't control the growing changes within her body; her entire
being felt a burning, itchy sensation, a agonizing mix of life and death. In her hazy state, she felt herself collapse weakly onto the haystack. With her limbs
still bound, she was powerless to struggle, so she resigned herself to her fate, allowing others to trample
upon her ill-fated destiny.

Chapter 175

"Hahaha! Look at her, she's had enough! She's starting to flirt with us!
She looks incredibly lewd!" The old man, Uncle Bing, completely ignored her cries and struggles. He
forcefully tore her sleeve, revealing her soft, white, fleshy shoulders and armpits, which were incredibly
fragrant.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..." Xinni, gagged and lying on the haystack, no longer frowned, her
phoenix closing slightly. However, with her limbs still bound by rough hemp rope, she could no longer
struggle, only letting out soft, itchy moans.

With a "whoosh!", Uncle Bing showed no mercy whatsoever. He forcefully ripped off her top
and a pure white girlish bra, while lowering his head to pinch and caress her beautifully curved
breasts. To his surprise, Xinni, whose mind was no longer at its usual level, was also filled with
ecstasy . Her face was flushed, and her two snow-white and delicate breasts
trembled slightly in his palms, rolling back and forth on the haystack.

While pinching and kneading the pink nipple with his fingers, Uncle Bing drooled as he said,
"Truly a beauty, with a naturally beautiful figure! Brother Peng, you've been seeing her every day,
how have you managed to restrain yourself? If it were me, I would have already played with her beyond recognition!"

"Actually, you should thank your uncle for all these years of hard work. If I hadn't been
making her papaya and yam soup day and night, she wouldn't have such a beautiful figure! So if you want to go for it,
go for it; if not, shut up!" Uncle Peng, who wished he could take the plunge himself, could only watch
this virgin who had always remained chaste. He hated himself for becoming someone else's possession.
If he didn't feel a pang of envy, it would be a lie.

"Then I won't be polite! Hahaha!" With that, he immediately lowered his head to suckle the pair of
round, pink nipples on Xinni's chest, his tongue like the wet tongue of a large wolfhound, licking the two
nipples greedily.

"Ugh...ugh!" Faced with such an uncomfortable situation, Xinni, who had been moaning softly, no longer cared about
the shame of being a virgin, and shook her body desperately, her beautiful hair falling to the ground in disarray.

"How about it? Do you want to get physical relief? Do you want Uncle Bing to take you to the blissful paradise?"
"The world? You can get everything just by nodding." Bald Uncle Bing pressed his face against her breasts
like a wolfhound, his face filled with an indescribable lewd and obscene expression.

"Mmm..." Xin Ni continued to shake her head, her eyes filled with sorrow, her brows furrowed, and even
her swayed unsteadily.

"Hehehe... Do you want it or not? You brat, nod in front of the camera!" As soon as Uncle Bing finished
speaking, his foul-smelling mouth began to bite down hard on the pink areola in front of him.

"Mmm! Mmm... Ah mmm!" Xin Ni's sensitive areolas were stimulated by the sudden stimulation, and she couldn't help but open her phoenix eyes,
nod on the haystack, then quickly and desperately shook her head, letting out a series of dreamlike moans from her delicate nose.

"Brother Bing, you shouldn't treat her like this. Why make things difficult for a little girl?" Uncle
Peng couldn't stand it anymore and said in a deep voice.

"I used to think she was a haughty girl, but now that I've filmed her tacit consent
, I can make her do whatever I want. I suggest you shut up and come at me! Hahaha!"
With that, Uncle Bing deliberately cupped Xin Ni's fair breasts in his hands, kneading them mercilessly
.

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..." Under the repeated effects of the drug, Xin Ni twisted
her slender, fair waist, her flushed face swaying unpredictably. Her limbs were bound to the hay, making
her appear pitiful as she lay there crying.

(Extra Chapter 1)

Zhang Chu left the hospital and hesitated for only two minutes before hailing a taxi and heading to Shi Ming's place. It was already past one in the morning, and Zhang Chu's lover, Shi Yun, was lying in the hospital delivery room awaiting childbirth. When Shi Yun heard from the doctor that she wouldn't give birth that night, she told Zhang Chu to go home and rest, and not to stay at the hospital. He told him to come back the next morning. Zhang Chu initially refused, worried that if Shi Yun gave birth that night, she would be left without anyone to care for her. Later, Shi Yun asked the nurse on duty to persuade Zhang Chu to go home and rest, and only then did he leave. Besides, Zhang Chu felt that sitting in the hospital corridor would prevent Shi Yun from getting a good rest; she would surely worry about him staying up all night and wouldn't be able to sleep soundly.

Sitting in the car, looking at the neon lights outside the window, Zhang Chu suddenly felt a surge of emotion. Tonight seemed to be a turning point in his life; tomorrow, he would become a father. Zhang Chu didn't know whether he should feel fortunate or sorrowful.

When the car arrived at Shi Ming's building, he paid the fare and got out, then went upstairs. Reaching Shi Ming's dormitory door, he took out his key, opened the door, and quietly went inside, trying not to wake Shi Ming. But his entry into the room still woke Shi Ming. Shi Ming knew it was Zhang Chu. She had just lifted a corner of the blanket when Zhang Chu was already at the bedside.

Zhang Chu bent down beside Shi Ming, wanting to give her a kiss, but Shi Ming yawned, reached out, and pulled Zhang Chu into her arms. After a moment of intimacy, Shi Ming seemed to remember something and asked about her sister's delivery. After Zhang Chu told her about Shi Yun's situation, Shi Ming gently pinched Zhang Chu's waist and said, "You still have the heart to come here?" Although Shi Ming said this, she felt a sweet warmth in her heart. But Zhang Chu, hearing Shi Ming's words, thought she meant it sincerely, after all, childbirth is a major life event. So, after Shi Ming said this, he felt a little guilty. Thinking of this, he said to Shi Ming, "I didn't really want to come, but I was afraid you couldn't get over it right now, so I came to see you." Upon hearing this, Shi Ming immediately pushed Zhang Chu away, turned her back, and said, "So you only came because you were afraid I'd be angry. You don't care about me at all." Zhang Chu realized he had made a mistake again and quickly defended himself, saying that he had only said what she said, not what he truly felt, and that he had been thinking about her the whole time. He only stopped when Shi Ming turned around, faced him, hugged his waist, and kissed him.

When he woke up, it was already past seven in the morning. Zhang Chu hurriedly got out of bed. Shi Ming seemed to still be sleepy, curled up in Zhang Chu's arms, one hand resting on his chest, still drowsy. Zhang Chu sat up, first removing Shi Ming's hand from his chest, then jumped out of bed, grabbed his clothes, and started putting them on. As he dressed, he asked Shi Ming when they were going to see Shi Yun that day. Shi Ming turned over in bed, half-asleep, and gave a soft "Mmm," then continued sleeping, not answering Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu's mind was entirely focused on Shi Yun, and he felt a growing unease. He wondered how Shi Yun had fared last night and was starting to worry. Shi Yun was originally due to give birth a week or two later, but her early arrival left Zhang Chu completely at a loss. His mother-in-law, Shi Yun's mother, was coming from their hometown in Shandong today, and Zhang Chu was afraid he might do something wrong and that his mother-in-law would complain.

So, he gradually became impatient. After getting dressed, he didn't even bother to rinse his mouth or wash his face before heading outside. But just as he reached the doorway, Shi Ming suddenly sat up, naked, and said to Zhang Chu, "Are you just leaving like this?" Hearing this, Zhang Chu quickly went back and hugged Shi Ming, kissed her hair, and even reached out and squeezed her breast before saying, "I have to go. It would be terrible if your sister gave birth in the hospital."

Zhang Chu rushed out of Shi Ming's dormitory, hailed a taxi, and headed to the hospital. He was frantic, wanting the car to be with Shi Yun immediately. At that moment, Shi Ming was completely out of his mind; she was nowhere to be seen. Shi Ming had only divorced three months prior.

Her marriage to a researcher at the factory had lasted less than four months. She married Zhang Chu, and she divorced him because of him. Zhang Chu and Shi Yun were university classmates; they had been in a passionate and enviable relationship since college. After graduation, they both stayed in Nanjing to work. Shi Yun worked at a research institution, while Zhang Chu worked in a government agency. The first time Shi Yun brought Zhang Chu back to her hometown of Qingdao, Shandong, it was during the hottest days of summer. At that time, Shi Ming had just graduated from North China University of Technology and was preparing to rest for a few days before starting work at a factory in Nanjing. After spending a few days with Zhang Chu at her home, she was completely captivated by him.

Zhang Chu was from the South, and quite handsome. He possessed an abundance of the gentle, meticulous, and romantic qualities typical of Southern men. Furthermore, Zhang Chu was an excellent guitarist. Whenever she and Shi Yun sat together in the courtyard, listening to Zhang Chu play guitar pieces like "Love is Blue" or "I Just Like You," Shi Ming would feel a surge of emotion, her heart rippling like a tranquil stream. Especially when Zhang Chu's fleshy, sensual fingers powerfully plucked the strings, Shi Ming would be mesmerized, wondering what it felt like to have those fingers pluck against her skin.

The two sisters were almost identical in appearance. Shi Yun had been scouted by a city fashion modeling team when she was in school, and her photos had even appeared on the cover of a fashion magazine. If it were Shi Ming, she would be just as radiant. However, Shi Yun was gentler in temperament than Shi Ming. Since Shiming had fallen for Zhang Chu, and because he was her sister's boyfriend, she sometimes became quite bold in showing even the slightest intimacy towards him. Whenever she saw an opportunity, she would pour him a cup of tea or peel an apple or pear. At meals, she would even compete with Shiyun to serve him rice and dishes. At first, Zhang Chu didn't dare to think too much about it. Their first meeting was simply a gesture of acceptance from Shiming. In front of Shiyun, he would chat with her pleasantly, discussing movies, classic literature, popular music, fashion, sports, news, and so on. Shiyun, listening from the side, was quite happy, feeling she had found a good boyfriend that her sister liked so much, filling her heart with sweet pride.

Shiyun was no exception to this womanly vanity.

A few days later, Shi Ming revealed her feelings to Zhang Chu. Shi Ming's open expression wasn't pretentious; it stemmed from her genuine affection and admiration for Zhang Chu. At first, she looked at Zhang Chu's face; now, she looked at him, searching for his gaze, capturing his eyes, and then following his gaze to anticipate his next move. She was utterly captivated by these actions. Shi Ming had never been so close to a southern boy before. Zhang Chu's words and actions, in her eyes, were so cultured they seemed to flow from the poems of Du Mu and the lyrics of Qin Guan, leaving her mesmerized. However, with Shi Yun present, Shi Ming carefully concealed her feelings, lest Shi Yun become suspicious and damage their sisterly bond. Zhang Chu, of course, also liked Shi Ming, and as her future sister-in-law, his feelings were somewhat complicated. He was very careful around Shi Ming, avoiding any ambiguous words to win her heart, fearing the two sisters might conspire to set a trap for him, a test of his loyalty in love. But when

Zhang Chu read something in Shi Ming's eyes, he couldn't help but feel pleased. An act can be convincing, but the eyes can't fake it—Zhang Chu knew this. Zhang Chu usually enjoyed interacting with women; he was the kind of man who could enjoy many women, even ten, and had a touch of womanizing at heart. But when it came to love and marriage, he wasn't the type to throw his eggs at any girl. Therefore, his feelings for Shi Yun were different from his feelings for other women. Shi Yun was the kind of woman who could give a man everything—mother, wife, lover, friend—all the roles a woman plays for a man, and Zhang Chu had received them all from her. Zhang Chu's current interest in Shi Ming was entirely driven by a desire to experience more of life's pleasures. Now that Zhang Chu knew Shi Ming's feelings, he began to flirt with her. Sometimes, when Shi Yun wasn't around, he would pretend to get up to get something, and as he walked past Shi Ming, he would deliberately brush against her body. Shi Ming, of course, understood. When Zhang Chu returned, she would sometimes deliberately bump his waist with her elbow. Afterwards, neither of them would look at the other, both pretending nothing had happened.

After several such small actions, Shi Ming's heart was already fluttering with desire at Zhang Chu's touch. Later, Shi Ming began to actively create opportunities to be alone with Zhang Chu. Sometimes she would ask Shi Yun to go to the market to buy some vegetables or fruit from the fruit stand. The two sisters had been close since childhood, and Shi Yun doted on her little sister, so Shi Yun always agreed to do whatever Shi Ming wanted. But sometimes she would ask Zhang Chu to come along. On these occasions, Shi Ming felt no fun at all, and it would be better if Shi Yun didn't go. But if Shi Yun didn't ask Zhang Chu, and Shi Ming was with Zhang Chu, she felt happy. The two talked, and Shiming used words to probe Zhang Chu's heart, trying to test how sincere he truly was. Most of the time, Zhang Chu wouldn't speak clearly, intentionally leaving Shiming confused and uncertain about their relationship. Subconsciously, he wanted to win Shiming's heart, but he couldn't open the door too wide to avoid future entanglements. Occasionally, they would engage in some playful physical contact. Shiming would lightly pinch Zhang Chu's arm, and Zhang Chu would pat her shoulder. Aside from that, neither of them made any further moves. A few

days later, the three of them returned to Nanjing for work. After reporting to the factory, Shiming was assigned to a technical department to organize data. The workload wasn't heavy, and after work, she often went to Shiyun's place. Shiming's factory was on the outskirts of the city, while Shiyun's workplace was in the city center, a two- to three-hour commute. Shiming usually slept at Shiyun's place and left early the next morning for work. Shiming's visits to Shiyun were actually a pretext to see Zhang Chu. But Shi Ming's arrival, ironically, drove Zhang Chu away. With Shi Ming around, Zhang Chu had to go back to his dormitory at work to sleep. At Zhang Chu's age, he was at the peak of his energy and physique, and he felt uneasy if he didn't sleep with Shi Yun for two days and one night. Sometimes Shi Ming would come on Friday nights and not leave for work until Monday morning, preventing Zhang Chu from having any intimacy. Shi Yun knew Zhang Chu's energy, and sometimes she would pretend to go out to buy something with him, and the two of them would go to Zhang Chu's dormitory together, allowing him to relax. Zhang Chu was very grateful for Shi Yun's thoughtfulness, and their lovemaking became extremely passionate and intense. Shi Yun herself also needed Zhang Chu's caresses, longing to blossom in his arms. Lying in Zhang Chu's arms, she would always look into his eyes, wholeheartedly experiencing the exquisite beauty of their intimate moments, especially enjoying the savage and passionate style he displayed when he reached a climax.

Shiyun's dorm room was small. With a desk in the middle and two stools, there was very little room to move around. When Zhang Chu, Shiyun, and Shiming were together, they could only sit on the edge of the bed to watch TV or talk.

When Shiyun wasn't there, Shiming and Zhang Chu would also sit on the edge of the bed, watching TV or chatting jokingly.

Sometimes, when the two of them were fooling around on the bed, Zhang Chu would take advantage of Shiyun's absence to tease Shiming, pressing her down on the bed and preventing her from getting up. Sometimes, he would deliberately press against Shiming's most sensitive area. Whenever this happened, Shiming felt so weak she didn't want to move; she hoped Zhang Chu would continue his advances. But she was also worried about what would happen if Shiyun came back and saw them, so Shiming would only let Zhang Chu touch that spot before quickly laughing and getting up.

When the three of them were together, they would occasionally go to a movie or dance. In the dance hall, it was natural for Zhang Chu to invite Shiming to dance a dance or two. At this moment, Shi Ming could truly understand the feeling of Zhang Chu's fleshy and incredibly sensual fingers pressing against her body. Sometimes, Zhang Chu would deliberately pinch Shi Ming's waist while his hand was around her waist, moving his abdomen closer to her body, teasing her. Each time this happened, Shi Ming would look into Zhang Chu's eyes and let out a sweet smile, giving him encouragement.

The next day at work, Zhang Chu would talk to Shi Ming on the phone for ages about what happened the previous night, finding excuses to tease her, intentionally trying to win her heart. The more Zhang Chu said this, the more Shi Ming wanted to figure out Zhang Chu's feelings for her.

Sometimes she would deliberately scare Zhang Chu, saying, "Next time I'm going to tell my sister that you're not sincere." Zhang Chu would say

, "What did I do to you? If you tell your sister, you won't be able to come." Shi Ming would say, "She's my sister, how could she not want me? The one who shouldn't want me is you." Zhang Chu would say, "You'd be just hoping for that." When Zhang Chu said this, Shi Ming would half-jokingly ask Zhang Chu, "Is my sister better or am I better?" At times like these, Zhang Chu was always clear-headed, but his words left Shi Ming bewildered. Zhang Chu said, "She's your older sister, you're the younger sister. This order was set from birth." Shi Ming was naturally unhappy to hear this, but didn't take it seriously, asking, "What does this have to do with that?" Zhang Chu then evaded the question, saying, "How would I know you're good?" Shi Ming bluntly asked, "What do you want me to do to make you know I'm good?" Zhang Chu replied, "That's something only you, me, heaven, and earth know." Shi Ming laughed and scolded Zhang Chu for being so smooth-talking on the phone. But the next time they met, they forgot everything they had said on the phone, and all their little stories started anew.

Once, Shi Yun went on a business trip and called her sister Shi Ming to tell her she was staying out overnight and would return to Nanjing on Saturday. Shi Ming originally planned to visit her sister on Saturday, but she couldn't sit still at work and wanted to see Zhang Chu. She came over on Friday night anyway.

When she arrived at Shiyun's dormitory, she found that Zhang Chu was not there, so she lazily sat on the bed and watched TV mindlessly, waiting for Zhang Chu to come.

She thought Zhang Chu should come, should have expected her to come; he was all she could think about. But after waiting for a while, Zhang Chu still hadn't arrived, and her mind started to race. She couldn't watch TV, and she couldn't sit still on the bed. She kept checking the time and looking out the window. Around ten o'clock, Shi Ming realized Zhang Chu definitely wasn't coming, and only then did she think to go downstairs and call him to ask if he was coming. Zhang Chu usually didn't visit Shi Yun when she was away on business. His dormitory was half men and half women, mostly university or graduate students assigned there. After get off work, they would get together to play cards, chess, and chat—it was quite lively. When he was bored at night and had nothing to do, he would go to other female colleagues' dormitories to hang out, and sometimes those girls would come to his. Zhang Chu had these ambiguous relationships with many girls at work, and he was very popular with them. On Friday night, Zhang Chu didn't go out. Two female colleagues sat in his dorm room, one from the planning department and the other from the administration department. Both of them were somewhat interested in Zhang Chu. At that moment, Zhang Chu was sitting on the edge of his bed, playing "Moscow Nights" with his guitar in his arms. The two girls listened to Zhang Chu play while watching him, their hearts fluttering with excitement. At that moment, Zhang Chu's appearance was most captivating to girls; his immersion in the music and his guitar-playing posture would charm any girl.

After a while, someone downstairs called Zhang Chu to answer the phone. Zhang Chu put down his guitar, thinking it must be Shi Yun calling.

He went downstairs to answer the phone, but when he picked up the receiver, it was Shi Ming. Although Zhang Chu was happy, he was also wary. Zhang Chu asked Shi Ming where she was. Upon hearing Zhang Chu's question, Shi Ming became angry, thinking, "Zhang Chu, you've been teasing me for so many days, and you don't even know where I am! You don't know yourself, but you should know what's on my mind!" Despite her resentful thoughts, Shi Ming calmly told Zhang Chu that she was with her sister. Zhang Chu understood, but pretended not to. He wasn't indifferent to Shi Ming, but Shi Yun was far more important to him, and he was terrified of making the wrong move and losing her. Hearing Shi Ming's words, Zhang Chu excused himself, saying he was playing mahjong with some colleagues and couldn't leave, promising to come tomorrow. Before Zhang Chu could finish speaking, Shi Ming slammed down the phone and went upstairs to her dorm room, fuming. After hanging up, Zhang Chu stood in the corridor for a while before returning to his dorm. His two female colleagues were still there, so he chatted with them, discussing all sorts of romantic and poetic topics. The two colleagues thoroughly enjoyed listening to Zhang Chu talk about these things. Occasionally, Zhang Chu would interject with elegant and beautiful phrases, making them feel as if Jia Baoyu were taking them through the Grand View Garden, a truly enchanting experience. Zhang Chu himself felt quite pleased.

After a while, Shi Ming suddenly arrived. When Shi Ming arrived, Zhang Chu was initially taken aback, but quickly composed himself. He introduced Shi Ming to his two female colleagues, and then introduced them back to Shi Ming. The two female colleagues, knowing it was Zhang Chu's future sister-in-law, excused themselves and left. Once they were gone, Shi Ming felt a surge of anger. She thought, "Zhang Chu, you've got some nerve! I asked you to keep me company for a while, and you lied, saying you were playing mahjong with your colleagues and couldn't get away. Turns out you were in your dorm with some girl. No matter what, I'm your sister-in-law! You seem to have no idea who's more important, closer, more distant, more affectionate, more indifferent. I'm not letting you off today!" Thinking this, a surge of resentment rose within Shi Ming. Her face darkened, and she said to Zhang Chu, "Go close the door. I have something to say to you."

Zhang Chu, upon hearing Shi Ming's words, didn't take them lightly at all. He smiled and said to Shi Ming, "People come and go here all the time. If someone comes and asks to open the door, they might think we're doing something in the dorm. It would be even worse if your sister heard about it, especially when she's not around. I'm quite afraid of your sister. How about this, let's go for a walk, and then I'll take you home. I'll come over tomorrow when your sister comes back."

Shi Ming had originally thought that Zhang Chu was in the wrong and would listen to her, and then she could take advantage of her anger to put pressure on him and see how he would react. She never expected Zhang Chu to answer her like this, and she couldn't even feel angry anymore.

From Zhang Chu's usual words and actions, Shi Ming had always thought that Zhang Chu was the kind of man who would steal wild dates; such an outstanding man wouldn't be devoted to her sister. In truth, although Zhang Chu seemed to have some kindred spirits with many girls and harbored some feelings for them, he dared not get too close to them, fearing they would cling to him and he wouldn't be able to escape. Even if he could escape, he believed Shi Yun would definitely make things difficult for him if she found out. Ultimately, Zhang Chu cared too much about Shi Yun, so his feelings for Shi Ming were also something he dared not put into practice, merely seeking fleeting pleasure. Hearing Zhang Chu's words, Shi Ming pinched his waist hard in annoyance, sighed, and thought, "What can a sister's lover do?" Zhang Chu understood, of course. He smiled and casually ruffled Shi Ming's hair. Unbeknownst to Zhang Chu, this gesture almost made Shi Ming faint into his arms.

Even if Zhang Chu didn't try to win Shi Ming's heart, it was already difficult for her to leave his side. This was actually what Zhang Chu most desired, although he wasn't entirely clear about it, but deep down, this desire lingered within him. As Zhang Chu escorted Shi Ming near Shi Yun's dormitory building, Shi Ming suddenly hid under a tree and said to Zhang Chu, "Give me a kiss."

Zhang Chu was completely taken aback by Shi Ming's request. He paused for a moment, then thought, "Perhaps Shi Ming is still upset and wants some small compensation so she can get a good night's sleep."

With that thought, Zhang Chu smiled, took Shi Ming's hand, and leaned in to kiss her cheek, just like they usually did in jest. Seeing Zhang Chu's approaching lips, Shi Ming pushed his face away, saying, "Hey, you were never really up to anything."

Zhang Chu was startled and hadn't fully reacted when Shi Ming jumped up, wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him, and then quickly released him, running upstairs. Even after she disappeared at the top of the stairs, Zhang Chu was still in a daze, only the lingering fragrance of her clothes echoing in the moonlight. The breeze was still, the shade of the tree remained. After Zhang Chu returned home, the warmth of Shi Ming's breath lingering on his lips made him feel a dampness on his lips all night.

Flowers bloom and water flows, the story remains. In the quietude of prosperity, plum blossoms wither and bloom again, another year has passed.

Soon, Zhang Chu and Shi Yun quickly got married. In a fit of anger, Shi Ming started dating a graduate student at work, and they married after less than two months of dating. After the marriage, Shi Ming began to regret it deeply. She had married out of spite, but her husband was always speaking inappropriately when he was with Zhang Chu, sometimes rambling on and on for ages. Zhang Chu, harboring resentment, would sometimes deliberately embarrass Shi Ming's husband to spite Shi Ming. Later, when Shi Ming visited her sister, she always came alone, no longer bringing her husband. Especially when Shi Yun talked about her pride in Zhang Chu in front of Shi Ming, her face became increasingly radiant. Shi Ming felt resentful, but she couldn't say anything.

Once, Shiming visited her sister, Shiyun, who happened to be out inspecting a construction project in the suburbs and wouldn't be back that night. Zhang Chu entertained Shiming alone. The two sat at the table, drinking and eating, and after a few words, the memory of their kiss that night inevitably surfaced. Shiming harbored resentment towards Zhang Chu, but had never had the chance to tell him. So, taking advantage of a few drinks, she poured out her grievances to Zhang Chu, blaming him for pushing her away. Zhang Chu, being a soft-hearted and romantic man, and still harboring feelings for Shiming, couldn't resist her outpouring. After a few sighs, he pulled Shiming into his arms. As if everything had fallen into place, they naturally ended up in bed together. What terrified Shiming most was Zhang Chu's exquisite tenderness and care in bed, giving her an unprecedented and unforgettable experience. Zhang Chu also noticed that during Shi Ming's intense spasms, it felt as if countless gentle, joyful little hands reached out from within, supporting his body and bringing him to the brink of ecstasy.

That night, they made love repeatedly, neither of them sleeping a wink.

After that, they managed to make love several more times. Shi Ming felt she couldn't live without Zhang Chu, and Zhang Chu needed Shi Ming just as much. Shi Ming quickly got a divorce. Divorced, Shi Ming naturally gave herself completely to Zhang Chu.

Chapter Two

Zhang Chu arrived at the hospital around eight o'clock, right in the middle of rush hour. He rushed to the obstetrics and gynecology floor. Just as he entered, a woman he'd met the day before, who had brought her daughter to give birth, approached him and said, "Your wife is having postpartum hemorrhage and has been admitted to the emergency room. She's been in there for over an hour and hasn't come out yet. You need to go in and see her quickly; it's terrifying!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu felt as if his soul had left his body; his eyes widened, and he froze. The woman nudged him, and he sat down, staring blankly ahead, motionless. After a long while, he finally came to his senses, stood up, and rushed towards the emergency room without a second thought. Reaching the emergency room door, he pushed it open and tried to rush inside, but a nurse stopped him. He grabbed the nurse's hand, pushing her aside while pleading, "I need to see my wife! I need to see my wife!" The young nurse forcefully blocked the door, preventing him from entering and telling him he couldn't go in because the doctors were working on him.

But he still tried to squeeze in, repeatedly telling the nurse, "I want to see my wife, I want to see my wife."

At that moment, the head nurse came in. Seeing Zhang Chu, she asked, "Are you Shi Yun's wife?" Zhang Chu said yes. The head nurse said, "Come with me, but don't speak. Just take one look and leave." Zhang Chu quickly agreed and followed her inside. Once inside, Zhang Chu saw several doctors, each holding a shiny, blood-stained metal instrument, bustling around the operating table. He was immediately terrified, his legs trembling and his face turning pale. When he saw Shi Yun unconscious on the operating table, Zhang Chu screamed, "Shi Yun!" and lunged towards the operating table with outstretched arms…

When Zhang Chu was pushed outside, he collapsed to the ground, almost unconscious, his mind filled with panic. People kept going in and out of the operating room. Watching this scene, Zhang Chu became increasingly tense and afraid. He even silently called out Shi Ming's name in his mind. "Shiming, why aren't you here yet?" His terrifying heart desperately wished Shiming would hold him, offering him a place to lean on.

Just then, a doctor, as if suddenly remembering something, approached Zhang Chu and asked, "What's your blood type?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu immediately jumped up and said, "My wife and I have the same blood type." The doctor quickly led him inside, explaining, "Our blood bank is out of blood. There's no time to get more from the blood center. Your wife is bleeding too much; we need to hurry." Zhang Chu entered the operating room and was quickly prepared for a blood transfusion. Beside Shiyun, several doctors were still busy performing emergency procedures. Zhang Chu watched, his heart pounding. He cried out in his heart, "Shiyun, you can't leave!

" "Time is life." At that moment, Zhang Chu clearly understood the relationship between time and life. In just a short while, a transfusion tube was inserted into the back of Zhang Chu and Shiyun's hands, connecting them.

Zhang Chu's blood immediately began to slowly drip into Shiyun's veins. Zhang Chu sat there, his eyes fixed on Shi Yun's pale face. He prayed silently, counting the drops of blood, waiting for Shi Yun to wake up…

Their arrival was somewhat unexpected.

It was a sunny day in June, Shi Yun's twenty-third birthday. Zhang Chu usually didn't come home for lunch, eating at the company cafeteria. But in the South, people eat noodles for birthdays, symbolizing longevity.

So, Zhang Chu specially rushed back that noon to cook birthday noodles for Shi Yun. While they were eating, Zhang Chu and Shi Yun discussed where to eat that evening, whether to invite classmates, etc. Shi Yun, fearing trouble and since it wasn't her day off, suggested that her younger sister, Shi Ming, come over for dinner, something simple and quiet would be better. Shi Yun mentioning inviting Shi Ming made Zhang Chu feel conflicted. Shi Ming was secretly angry with Zhang Chu at that moment; his marriage had shattered all her hopes. Since Zhang Chu's marriage, Shi Ming had rarely come here. Sometimes Zhang Chu would call Shi Ming from his office to say hello, but Shi Ming would hang up as soon as she picked up the phone. After Zhang Chu got married, the girls who had once been somewhat ambiguous with him all distanced themselves from him, making Shi Ming stand out even more in his heart than before. Zhang Chu was the kind of man who needed to find more ingredients in life around him; he needed to taste the various flavors of life from these ingredients, which had nothing to do with whether he loved Shi Yun or not. When Shi Ming was angry with him, he thought to himself, "She's my sister-in-law, how could she be so angry?" So, when Shi Yun invited Shi Ming to dinner, Zhang Chu felt a surge of joy, as if he had seized an opportunity to reconcile with Shi Ming. He told Shi Yun, "Then call her and tell her." Shi Yun immediately said, "Why should I call? It's my birthday." Zhang Chu quickly said, "I'll call, I'll call."

After lunch, Shi Yun, as usual at home in the evening, sat on the living room sofa, wrapped her arms around Zhang Chu's waist, and leaned against him while watching TV, preparing to go to work later. Zhang Chu reached into Shi Yun's arms, gently caressing her breasts and teasing her. Each time, Shi Yun felt as if she were sinking into a vast, surging ocean in Zhang Chu's embrace, her body slowly unfolding in a receptive posture. Soon, Shi Yun gradually lost control under Zhang Chu's caresses. She got up, wrapped her arms around Zhang Chu's neck, kissed him, and said, "Did you come back to celebrate my birthday, or to touch my breasts?" Zhang Chu returned the kiss, laughing, "Both." Then he gave Shi Yun a firm squeeze of her breast and whispered in her ear, "I'm going to bite you later." Shi Yun's body was already so weak she felt like she had no legs or arms; she pressed herself completely against Zhang Chu's chest and said, "Carry me." Zhang

Chu picked up Shi Yun and carried her into the room. Nestled in Zhang Chu's arms, Shi Yun felt as if she were in a dream, her mind drifting in a blissful intoxication. Once in the room, Zhang Chu laid Shi Yun down on the bed. Shi Yun embraced him, saying, "This is the first time we've been intimate at home this afternoon."

Shi Yun's body was incredibly sexy—fair, rosy skin, a luminous complexion, a slender waist and legs, wide hips and firm breasts—a breathtaking sight. Each time Zhang Chu was with Shi Yun, he couldn't control his almost savage plundering, and Shi Yun seemed instinctively drawn to his wild style. Sometimes, a man's frenzy in a woman's body can ignite even greater love, showing her her place in his heart. Zhang Chu always exerted himself for a long time with Shi Yun. Once, after their passion subsided, Zhang Chu said to Shi Yun, "I really want to keep doing this with you forever." But Shi Yun was reluctant to get up, saying, "I'm with you every day, isn't that enough?

You're too greedy. A woman like me will exhaust you." "You don't know how to take care of yourself at all. You're exhausted, what if you can't have me later? I can't bear to! I want you to love me slowly, remember?" Zhang Chu patted Shi Yun's body with a smile and said, "If I didn't remember, who taught you to have such a demonic body? A body like that is meant to devour men." Shi Yun could only smile and say, "I won't do what you want, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Their time together today seemed more intense than ever before. Zhang Chu thrust his body higher into Shi Yun beneath him, and Shi Yun welcomed him with her body, her movements so graceful and supple that they stirred Zhang Chu's heart and soul, sending him into a frenzy of

pleasure. When they reached the peak of their ecstasy together, Shi Yun felt like she was about to faint, unable to even breathe under Zhang Chu.

Afterwards, they lay on the bed together, embracing each other, for a long time.

When Shi Yun rolled over and pulled the condom from under Zhang Chu, she suddenly noticed a hole in it. She quickly pushed Zhang Chu up, repeatedly saying, "It's over, it's over, this is terrible." "It was you who used so much force. Look, it's broken." Zhang Chu sat up, looked at the condom in Shi Yun's hand, and asked her, "What do you suggest we do?" "

What do you suggest we do?" Shi Yun seemed anxious and punched Zhang Chu. They had originally agreed to wait two years before having children. Seeing Shi Yun's anxious expression, Zhang Chu said, "If we're pregnant, we'll have one. What's the big deal?"

Zhang Chu's words immediately made Shi Yun laugh. Shi Yun lay down and said to Zhang Chu, "You don't know, I've actually been hoping you'd break your vow someday. I thought about it back in college, that I could have a kid right after graduation, raise them while having fun, it wouldn't be tiring at all. My mom also told me to have a kid soon. You're like a child all the time, never asking about anything except eating, sleeping with your wife, and touching her breasts. You don't care about anything else. I just want a child to help you mature. But sometimes I worry about how hard it will be for you; being a father isn't easy. People say fathers are like beasts of burden for their wives and children, you have to be prepared for that. With a child, I won't be able to take care of you as much."

Hearing Shi Yun's words, Zhang Chu felt a pang of sadness. He rolled over and said, "Oh my god, then I don't want it."

Shi Yun immediately got up, pressed her breasts against Zhang Chu's face, grabbed his ear, and said, "What did you just say you didn't want?" Zhang Chu, seizing the opportunity, bit Shi Yun's nipple, a corner of his heart turning away, and said, "I meant don't act like a child." Shi Yun laughed and pulled Zhang Chu up, saying, "Go to work, I won't be going this afternoon."

After arriving at work, Zhang Chu worried that if he called Shi Ming, she would hang up, so he took a taxi to Shi Ming's workplace, wanting to tell her in person. But he couldn't find Shi Ming there. People at her workplace said that Shi Ming had taken the afternoon off.

Zhang Chu was brooding all afternoon. He had heard from Shi Yun that Shi Ming was dating someone. He was often confused about this, sometimes sitting in his office, suddenly lost in thought. Gradually, Shi Ming's image began to appear in his mind. He was somewhat greedy—for women, for love, and for himself.

That evening, Zhang Chu returned home from work, only to find a large cake and a bouquet of flowers on the table. Looking into the living room, he saw Shi Yun and Shi Ming sitting on the sofa, chatting and watching TV. Zhang Chu immediately felt happy. He walked over and called out to Shi Ming. Shi Ming hummed in response but didn't look at him, clearly still sulking. With Shi Yun present, Zhang Chu didn't say anything else, so he presented the bouquet of flowers he had bought to Shi Yun, saying, "Happy birthday." Shi Yun took the flowers, her face beaming with joy, and even held them up for Shi Ming to see. Shi Ming seized the opportunity to tease Zhang Chu, saying, "Why did you buy so many forget-me-nots for my sister's birthday? Two roses too, and carnations too? What a mess! It's like you're trying to evoke some memories for my sister. Are you sending flowers to a former lover as a memento?" Shi Yun laughed first at this point. Zhang Chu then asked, "What flowers should I send you for your birthday?" Shi Ming replied, "Who needs you to send them? I'll send them myself." Shi Ming suddenly realized she had spoken a bit too harshly, and fearing Zhang Chu might retaliate, she quickly added, "Even if you did, it would still be a random bouquet."

When Shiyun placed the flowers on the table, Shiming, taking advantage of Shiyun's inattention, kicked Zhang Chu's leg hard.

Zhang Chu, in pain, dared not utter a sound, but glancing at Shiming, a sweet smile, barely concealed, appeared on his face. Shiming's kick dispelled much of the gloom in his heart.

A few days later, Shiyun bought a large pile of books on pregnancy and childcare from the bookstore, including titles like "Essential Knowledge for Pregnancy" and "Must-Read for Pregnant Women," hoping to acquire some knowledge in these areas. However, after reading these books, Shiyun became worried. The reason was that she had learned from the books that sperm enters the uterus through a process of natural selection. Most sperm are killed as they travel towards the uterus; only the strongest and most powerful sperm can break through the barriers and reach the egg, fertilizing it. Shiyun thought that since there was still a lot of semen left in the condom that day, the sperm that entered the uterus might not be the best. Thinking about this, Shiyun became worried that her child might have intellectual disabilities in the future. Shiyun lay in Zhang Chu's arms, worrying all night.

Zhang Chu could only comfort her, saying that she wasn't even sure she was pregnant yet, so what was she worrying about? When Shiyun's period didn't come that month, she went to the hospital for a test, and the results showed she was indeed pregnant. Shiyun became even more anxious. She later discussed with Zhang Chu about going to the hospital to have an abortion. After examining Shiyun, the doctor advised her not to abort her first child, saying there wouldn't be any problems. Shiyun's mother also called repeatedly, urging her not to have an abortion, so Shiyun kept the baby.

When Shiming learned that her sister was pregnant, she became even more resentful towards Zhang Chu.

Chapter 3

After Zhang Chu left, Shiming couldn't stay in bed. Every time Zhang Chu left, Shiming felt empty and lost for a long time afterward. After Shiyun became pregnant, in the two months leading up to her delivery, Zhang Chu visited Shiming more often. Sometimes he came at night, sometimes during the day. Zhang Chu usually came to Shiming's house at night because he had been invited by friends, classmates, or colleagues. After finishing his business, he would immediately rush to Shiming's place. He usually didn't stay there for long at night, worried that Shiyun would be uneasy if he stayed out too long, and also concerned that it might arouse her suspicion. During the day, Zhang Chu would go directly from his office to Shiming's place, and Shiming would only return from the factory after he arrived at her dormitory. Their daytime rendezvous involved spending a considerable amount of time together. When

Zhang Chu arrived at Shiming's place, he would often rush to embrace her before she had even closed the door, kissing her, touching her breasts, and pulling off her clothes. Shiming was already familiar with Zhang Chu's pattern; sometimes she would take the initiative first, making Zhang Chu feel more pleased. Zhang Chu would only be interested in talking to Shiming afterwards, and he would talk about anything and everything, even his most secret matters. Once, he talked to Shiming about what happened when he was fourteen. He told Shiming that when he was fourteen, he borrowed a handwritten copy of "A Girl's Heart" from someone. After reading it that night, he couldn't help but masturbate in bed. The next day, he spent the whole day copying it and secretly slipped it into the bag of a girl he liked. He told Shiming that he and her sister had their first affair in their second year of university, on a mountaintop, where he deflowered her. He told Shiming that the experience was unforgettable.

It was May, and the sky was a clear blue. When they climbed the mountain, they didn't see a single person. Later, they sat down to rest in a secluded spot where the grass grew lush and vibrant green. After sitting for a while, he stripped her sister naked, and she didn't resist. They rolled around naked on the grass for a long time, their bodies stained with green grass juice. They yelled, shouted, and bit each other fiercely. He thought there was no one on the mountain, but when he got off her sister, he was surprised to find many eyes lurking nearby. He never dared to tell his sister this, fearing she would forbid him from touching her again.

Shi Ming loved listening to Zhang Chu say these things; they opened up a strange world within Zhang Chu to her. After Zhang Chu left, Shi Ming would sometimes dwell on it for a long time, even after work, still agonizing over these words in her mind, having a mental dialogue with Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu's words still posed a certain danger to her; they often triggered impulses in Shi Ming, making her want to reveal some of her inner secrets to him. But she didn't want Zhang Chu to know her secrets; she even felt a little disgusted with them. She believed that men's secrets were the trajectory of growth, while some women's secrets were signs of depravity.

When Zhang Chu came to Shi Ming's place, sometimes before leaving, he would want to be intimate with her one last time. He was fascinated by Shi Ming's body, always pinning her down for a long time, ravaging her to orgasm, and then, under Shi Ming's intense spasms, he felt an immense, indescribable pleasure, a pleasure that was also like the edge of immense pain.

Because at those moments, Zhang Chu, in Shi Ming's arms, seemed to be dying, his mouth agape, making incoherent "hoarse" sounds. When Shi Ming's vagina spasmed intensely, he felt as if countless joyful, sweet little hands were reaching out from within, caressing him, breathing in him, slowly drawing his soul out of his body, into a world of unparalleled bliss where he swam and trembled… Every time Shi Ming saw Zhang Chu's ecstatic expression at that moment, her heart was filled with a soul-stirring intoxication.

When Shi Yun was seven or eight months pregnant, Zhang Chu once told Shi Ming that he would no longer have sex with her.

Shi Yun was worried about hurting the child, and Zhang Chu was also worried about hurting the child. Shi Ming asked him then, "Will you stop coming once your sister can make love to you?" Zhang Chu immediately replied, "Of course not! But I definitely won't be running here every few days like this." Hearing this, Shi Ming angrily pinched Zhang Chu's waist hard and said, "No, you have to keep coming like this, otherwise I won't talk to you anymore." Zhang Chu smiled, put his hand between Shi Ming's thighs and rubbed it, saying, "If I don't come, you can't come to me."

Hearing this, Shi Ming was even angrier and said, "I don't want to see the two of you being so intimate, it's disgusting."

Zhang Chu said, "Actually, what I want most is to hug you every day. If you come, I'll have that chance." Deep down, Shi Ming also wanted Zhang Chu to hug her every day; it was a silent, soul-stirring sense of security. But outwardly, she was unwilling to give in to Zhang Chu's wishes, saying, "You always make me nervous, arousing me but making me uncomfortable. I'm not going." Zhang Chu said, "I'm not feeling unwell, that's why I want to hear your sweet moans. They make my bones melt." Hearing this, Shi Ming felt a surge of sweetness. She jumped up and whispered a few sweet moans in Zhang Chu's ear, then, as if remembering something, asked him, "If you had met me first and married me, would you have cheated on me with my sister?" Zhang Chu hesitated, troubled by Shi Ming's question; he loved Shi Yun. He could only say, "How would I know?" Shi Ming, angered, sat on Zhang Chu, punching him, and said, "You've never been a good person." Zhang Chu laughed and said, "Huh? That's strange. If you know I'm not a good person, why are you still in love with me?" Shi Ming was speechless with anger, only able to say, "I'm shameless! Are you satisfied now?"

Gradually, Shi Ming became much more at ease when talking to Zhang Chu about her sister. Initially, when Zhang Chu talked about his relationship with Shi Yun, Shi Ming always refused to listen and wouldn't let him talk about it. But Zhang Chu ignored Shi Ming's feelings and continued talking. When he spoke of Shi Yun, he did so as if he were telling someone else's story, without any emotional involvement. Later, Shi Ming even hoped that Zhang Chu would talk about his relationship with her sister when he came, including their intimate moments. Gradually, Shi Ming's inner turmoil was completely broken down. She even felt that she shouldn't be so jealous of her sister, since she had stolen her sister's man.

But Shi Ming sometimes wondered if Shi Yun knew Zhang Chu was visiting. She felt that Shi Yun should know from Zhang Chu's desires that he wasn't someone who could stay faithful. She thought that Zhang Chu must be very good at putting on a good show in front of her sister to reassure her. Sometimes when she visited Shi Yun, Zhang Chu would have sex with her when the opportunity arose. That tense affair seemed to excite Zhang Chu greatly. But for a long time, Shi Ming couldn't shake off her anxiety. Sometimes, when Shiyun was still at home, and Shiming went to the bathroom, Zhang Chu would secretly follow her in, hug her briefly, and then quickly penetrate her, as if to greet her, before quickly leaving so that Shiyun wouldn't notice they had spent so much time together. Sometimes Shiming felt that Zhang Chu was playing a sexual game with her, a game in which he seemed to derive some kind of pleasure. But each time Zhang Chu teased her like this, Shiming's mind was entangled in a longing. She loved Zhang Chu, and was infatuated with his body and energy. Whenever she touched Zhang Chu's body, her body was filled with a shooting star-like cheer, as if her own blood was evaporating, floating in the air waiting to land somewhere.

When Shiming thought of her sister Shiyun, she worried that one day Shiyun would discover everything. She was afraid that Shiyun's knowledge would cause her pain, and she was also afraid that Shiyun's knowledge would cause her to lose Zhang Chu. Shiyun had opposed her marriage, and she had opposed her divorce.

Her sister understood her, knew what her sister wanted most in this world. On this point, Shiming understood Shiyun perfectly. She had spoken privately with Shiyun about Zhang Chu before, before Shiming's relationship with Zhang Chu had progressed to its current stage. Shiyun told Shiming that Zhang Chu wouldn't amount to much, but she enjoyed being with him. She hoped Shiming would find a successful man in the future, someone to shine in front of others. Shiming, upon hearing this, asked Shiyun what constituted a successful man. Shiyun couldn't answer. Later, Shiming became worried that Zhang Chu might be flirting with other girls and reminded Shiyun to keep an eye on him. Shiyun said he just liked to show off in front of girls. He wouldn't dare to be serious.

At the time, Shiming didn't understand why her sister trusted Zhang Chu so much; she thought it was love. But after Zhang Chu truly entered her life, Shiming felt a mixture of love and hate for her sister. Shiyun clearly possessed Zhang Chu, while she couldn't. Sometimes she really wanted to beg her sister to accept her, to let the three of them live together, and to give her a share of Zhang Chu. Sometimes, when she lay alone in bed thinking about Zhang Chu, she would imagine how he flirted with her sister, how Shi Yun embraced him, and how he entered Shi Yun's body. Those imaginings drove Shi Ming almost crazy; her nerves ached as if they were about to snap.

After getting out of bed, Shi Ming thought she should go see Shi Yun as soon as possible and do something for her sister. Besides, she was worried about Zhang Chu. After learning yesterday morning that Shi Yun had gone to the hospital, she quickly took a taxi over, arranged for Shi Yun to be admitted, and even went to Shi Yun's workplace to get a check and leave it at the hospital. She gave gifts to every doctor and nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department, asking them to take good care of Shi Yun and pray for her safety.

But Zhang Chu, besides staying with Shi Yun, had no ideas or clues. When Shi Ming saw Zhang Chu's attentive and caring manner towards Shi Yun, she felt a mix of anger, resentment, love, and pity, yet she was powerless against him and couldn't even muster a hint of jealousy. A man's eccentricities can sometimes win a woman's heart.

When Shi Ming arrived at the hospital, Zhang Chu had just entered the emergency room to give Shi Yun a blood transfusion. Upon hearing that Shi Yun had suffered postpartum hemorrhage and that Zhang Chu was currently giving her a transfusion, Shi Ming was plunged into terror, filled with intense self-reproach. She thought it must be because Zhang Chu had committed some terrible act the previous night, harming her sister. She walked to the emergency room door and glanced inside, but her vision blurred, and she couldn't see anything. She didn't dare go in, turning away to wipe her tears. She was afraid to see her sister lying unconscious on the hospital bed, and she was also afraid to see Zhang Chu. She silently prayed for Shi Yun, asking God to protect her. After a while, she remembered Shi Yun's baby and stood up to walk towards the nursery. There, she asked a nurse about her sister's child, and a nurse led her into the nursery. As she looked at the baby boy sleeping in the cradle, another emotion welled up inside her. She reached out and touched the baby's hand. Almost simultaneously, tears streamed down her face.

When she sat down again in the hospital corridor, a tremendous fear gripped her. She knew Shiyun wouldn't recover; she had harmed her sister. Time seemed to drag on endlessly; each minute felt like an added weight of pain. She even began to hate Zhang Chu. She felt he shouldn't have abandoned her sister to see her; he was too greedy for her body, only knowing how to vent his own desires. She thought, if anything happened to Shiyun, she wouldn't let Zhang Chu get away with it… (

Chapter 4, March 12

) Nearly half an hour had passed, and Shiyun still hadn't woken up. Blood dripped from Zhang Chu's body onto Shiyun. At this moment, Zhang Chu's entire focus was on Shiyun. He silently repeated her name, calling her name in his heart, urging her to wake up. He knew Shi Yun would hear his voice. Shi Yun…

Zhang Chu seemed to have grown up suddenly during this time.

Zhang Chu loved Shi Yun, but he never openly expressed his love; on the contrary, he loved her with great pride.

Zhang Chu entered university at seventeen; Shi Yun entered university a year younger than Zhang Chu, at sixteen. They studied the same major, marine engineering. Shi Yun excelled academically in university and was also a student council member. Zhang Chu, on the other hand, was the kind of

person whose "heart wasn't set on academic pursuits, but rather on pursuing trivial matters." But he was exceptionally intelligent, reading extremely quickly, especially appreciating flowing, abstract concepts. When he first began pursuing Shi Yun, she once said that he was too dashing and unreliable, making it difficult for her to accept his love.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu pursued another girl in his class the next day, hoping to provide stronger evidence for Shi Yun's statement and inflict some psychological damage on her. However, Shi Yun, in a fit of anger, immediately took out a love letter he had written to her and read it aloud in class. Embarrassed, Zhang Chu hid from everyone for days, too ashamed to face Shi Yun. After this incident, Zhang Chu rarely dared to resort to such a desperate measure in front of Shi Yun, believing her to be far more intelligent

than him. Since Zhang Chu thought Shi Yun was smarter, he carefully protected himself in her presence. Shi Yun was unaware that a man who loved her was deliberately isolating himself from her. One day, while reading *Romance of the Three Kingdoms*, Shi Yun lamented to Zhang Chu how ruthless Cao Cao was, killing Yang Xiu and Kong Rong. Zhang Chu replied, "Why shouldn't Yang Xiu and Kong Rong have been killed? If it were me, I would have killed them too." Shi Yun was shocked and asked Zhang Chu why. Zhang Chu simply said, "You wouldn't understand, and you don't need to understand; it's a man's matter."

In this respect, Shiyun couldn't understand Zhang Chu. She had given him her whole self, yet he still concealed a small part of himself. When Zhang Chu first started working, he was highly regarded by his superiors, but he quickly fell out of favor. Upon joining the organization, Zhang Chu was assigned to the review department, responsible for approving environmental impact assessment reports for construction projects. However, he only stayed in this department for seven months before being transferred due to substandard results. After his transfer, Shiyun asked him why. Zhang Chu only told her four words: "It's the reality of China." But Shiyun sometimes sensed an inner struggle within Zhang Chu, a mental state that sometimes seeped into their lovemaking. When he was trying to bring Shiyun to a pleasurable climax, he suddenly stopped, as if losing confidence, lying motionless on top of her. Yet his penis remained firmly inside her, stirring with desire. At this moment, Shiyun's sexual desire would often vanish suddenly. Then, after Zhang Chu got up again, she would cooperate with his movements to help him release.

Shiyun thought Zhang Chu might be experiencing some pressure at work, or perhaps he wasn't quite used to his job yet.

Zhang Chu was a free spirit, somewhat headstrong, and unwilling to compromise his principles to please others—something Shiyun had long recognized. Therefore, she suspected he might have had some disagreements with colleagues or superiors at work. Thinking about this, Shiyun couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. Her sadness wasn't because of Zhang Chu's behavior at work, but because she felt he didn't fully trust her. He was the man she loved; if the man she loved didn't trust her, a woman could never truly enter his heart, and it meant a door was forever closed to her. She was not only his lover and future wife, but also his most trusted friend. Shiyun was tormented by this. He laughed, played, and indulged in her; she had placed everything in his hands, even her entire life. She couldn't bear the thought of him still keeping a door closed to her. Shi Yun secretly took the opportunity to visit Zhang Chu's workplace to learn about him, hoping to open a door to him and get to know the man she loved. However, after her visit, Shi Yun couldn't shake off the same aversion she felt towards Zhang Chu for a long time.

Zhang Chu was also unaware that Shi Yun had visited his workplace to investigate him.

When Zhang Chu first started working, he was somewhat naive and still had a strong student mentality. While reviewing environmental impact assessment reports for construction projects, he discovered numerous environmental quality problems in existing or planned projects, especially since some data in the environmental impact assessment reports was clearly falsified. During an investigation of a pesticide factory in Jiangnan, he discovered that the factory was collecting large amounts of toxic wastewater on a cargo ship and then secretly discharging it at night to a location on the Grand Canal. Upon returning, Zhang Chu reported these findings to his superiors, demanding that the pesticide factory be shut down for rectification. His superiors told him they would immediately send someone to verify the situation before taking further action. Two months later, when Zhang Chu returned to the pesticide factory to check on the situation, he found it unchanged. Moreover, the factory leaders claimed that someone higher up had given their approval and tacit consent. Zhang Chu, unaware of the implications, went back to question his superiors. They told him that some issues needed to be addressed in light of China's specific circumstances. At that time, Zhang Chu didn't understand what "China's specific circumstances" meant. Later, someone reported that a joint venture in Jiangbei was never using its wastewater treatment facilities, directly discharging large amounts of wastewater into the Yangtze River, causing widespread pollution and harming drinking water sources. Zhang Chu applied to his superiors to send someone to the factory to collect water samples for testing, and if the allegations were true, to impose severe penalties. His superiors agreed, and he took a few people with him. However, upon arriving at the factory, they found it closed for the day, the iron gates locked. But peeking through the cracks, he saw that many pieces of equipment inside were still emitting heat. Upon returning, Zhang Chu truthfully reported the situation to his superiors, concluding that someone within the bureau had tipped off the factory, conspiring to harm our socialist land. His superiors told him that in their positions, they had to consider "China's national conditions" before taking any action.

Zhang Chu finally understood what "China's national conditions" meant. However, he found it somewhat absurd that ordinary Chinese people would accept such a phrase.

From that moment on, Zhang Chu completely lost interest in his job and even loathed it. Once, in a document he submitted to his superiors for review, he intentionally included "Environmental Quality Impact Assessment Report for a Certain Project under China's National Conditions," which led to his transfer

to the Social Welfare Department. After learning of this, Shi Yun went to great lengths to appease Zhang Chu, even deliberately trying to cheer him up and prevent him from struggling with his inner turmoil.

Frustrated at work, Zhang Chu became even more unrestrained with Shi Yun, seeking physical release.

One night, he woke up in the middle of the night and asked Shiyun, "How did I end up sleeping next to you?" Shiyun replied, "Who knows where you crawled in from? You flower thief." Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu said, "I remember now, you were the one who grabbed me at the door, preventing me from leaving. Letting a random man sleep at night, you're just like a little harlot." Shiyun, feigning madness, said, "You call me a little harlot? I'll show you right now!" She then rolled over and straddled Zhang Chu, kissing him while grabbing his penis, saying, "Does this count as harlotry?" Zhang Chu said, "No." Shiyun took it and pushed it into her body, asking, "How about this?" Zhang Chu said, "Still not." Shiyun sat up, bouncing around a few times, asking, "How about this?" Zhang Chu, now somewhat aroused, rubbed Shiyun's breasts while saying, "Somewhat."

Shiyun suddenly bounced violently, shouting, "Somewhat?! Tell me quickly!" Zhang Chu immediately retorted, "Little whore, little whore, little whore..."

After their marriage, Shi Yun became even more casual with Zhang Chu. Sometimes, she even pretended not to see him flirting with her younger sister, Shi Ming. Shi Yun simply thought that Zhang Chu loved her, and her sister loved her too; Zhang Chu and her sister were just playing around, and nothing would develop. But after Shi Ming's divorce, Shi Yun started to worry for a while. She feared her sister wouldn't be able to resist the loneliness and would actively pursue Zhang Chu.

Besides, she could tell from Shi Ming's eyes that Shi Ming liked Zhang Chu. But after some time, Shi Yun didn't find anything unusual about Zhang Chu, so she stopped thinking about it and focused on building a loving home with him. Whenever they were home, they were inseparable, lovingly teasing each other. Once, in Zhang Chu's arms, Shi Yun said to him, "If I count, I've been ravaged by you since I was seventeen. Over the years, how many times have you ravaged me? If you paid me a hundred yuan each time, how much would you pay me?" "The loss is too great, it's all gone to you for nothing." Zhang Chu, feigning seriousness, said, "Are you kidding me? Who's wronged?

You're the one paying me! I'm your kept man, your mistress! If you can't repay me, you'll have to pay me for life, understand?" Shi Yun immediately chimed in, "You just said you're my kept man, so listen up, you can't cheat on me." Zhang Chu, seemingly testing Shi Yun's reaction, asked, "What if I cheat?" Shi Yun immediately sat up, her face serious, and said, "You dare!" Zhang Chu laughed, "Oh my god, you'd tear me apart!" Shi Yun said, "Tear you apart?"

"I'll kick you into the street and let the dogs bite and eat you." Zhang Chu said, "Are you really that heartless?" Hearing Zhang Chu say this, Shi Yun immediately jumped up in shock, grabbed his mouth, and said, "Do you really want to steal a bite, or have you already done it?" Zhang Chu knew he couldn't continue, so he quickly pulled Shi Yun into his arms, kissing her while saying, "How can you take something so casually as a joke? You're so beautiful, why would I steal a bite? I could eat you all I want, you really are something." Shi Yun laughed and said, "That's right, you tricked me into this, and you don't even love me properly."

One night, Shi Yun lay in Zhang Chu's arms and read a story, which gave her some thoughts. The story was about a king who took a fancy to a minister's wife. One day, the king deliberately sent the minister away to his house, intending to have some fun with the minister's wife. Knowing the king was coming, the minister's wife sent someone to the city to buy a hundred hens, slaughtered them all, and then cooked each hen into a dish to entertain the king. After the king ate two or three dishes, he asked, "Why do they all taste the same? Are there any other dishes?"

The minister's wife immediately told the king that the dishes were all made with different hens, and then said to the king, "Since Your Majesty knows that all hen meat tastes the same, then what's the difference between women and hens?" The king understood his wife's meaning, stopped eating, and returned home with his entourage. After reading this story, Shi Yun found it very interesting and wanted to use it to teach Zhang Chu a lesson on relationships. She added her own thoughts to the story and told it to Zhang Chu. However, after listening, Zhang Chu said to Shi Yun, "This story is a lie. It must have been written by a eunuch who has never slept with a woman. Women are different in bed." Shi Yun was startled and immediately interrupted Zhang Chu, saying, "How do you know women are different in bed?" Zhang Chu, realizing he had let something slip, quickly replied, "When you walk down the street, do you see any girls who all look the same? Since they all look different, they must be different in bed too." Shi Yun wouldn't let Zhang Chu off the hook, saying, "That's not what you meant! You're lying! Confess!" Zhang Chu retorted, "What are you thinking? Think about it! Even when we have sex at different times and in different places, the feeling and pleasure are different. How could a man have sex with different women the same way?" Shi Yun, upon hearing this, felt there was some truth to Zhang Chu's words, but she still couldn't shake the feeling. So she grabbed Zhang Chu's ear and said, "Your wife is better than anyone else's. Remember that, understand?"

Since Shi Ming's divorce, Shi Yun rarely let Shi Ming stay overnight. She was afraid that if it became a habit, Shi Ming would frequently stay there, and Zhang Chu wouldn't be able to resist the temptation and might do something. The apartment Shi Yun lived in was allocated by Zhang Chu's work unit; it was a two-bedroom, one-living room apartment, over seventy square meters, spacious enough for the young couple. When Shi Ming came, Shi Yun never mentioned letting her stay overnight, and Zhang Chu never dared to bring it up first. Although he wanted to, he was afraid that his guilty conscience would be revealed to Shi Yun, and she would discover his secret with Shi Ming. Sometimes, when Shiming was coming over on Friday nights, Zhang Chu would tell her to come a little later, so that it would be too late for her to leave. At these times, Zhang Chu's polygamous thoughts would surface. But he didn't know that every time Shiming stayed over, she couldn't sleep a wink. Pain and longing tormented her. Especially if there was any noise in Zhang Chu's room, Shiming would assume he and her sister were having sex, and she would listen intently, her body burning with desire. Sometimes, if Zhang Chu felt Shiming was still awake in the middle of the night, he would pretend to get up to go to the bathroom. Hearing him get up, Shiming would immediately get up and wait for him in the bedroom. When Zhang Chu came over, he would gently push the door open, and the two would quickly and silently embrace. While embracing Shiming, Zhang Chu would always reach out and touch her all over, and Shiming would pinch his genitals. Then they would quickly separate, Zhang Chu would go to the bathroom, flush the toilet, and let Shiming know he was inside. Often, the day after such a brief encounter, Zhang Chu would go to Shi Ming's place and make love to her passionately, as if to make up for his apology. Shi Ming, in turn, would often display an even stronger desire, battling with Zhang Chu. After her body was ablaze with passion, her spasms would be more intense than usual. At this moment, Zhang Chu longed to be tightly grasped by Shi Ming's joyful little hands reaching out from within, to be pulled into her body, and to wholeheartedly receive that pleasurable caress.

Zhang Chu thus leaped between the two women, deriving pleasure from them and giving them pleasure in return.

But in Zhang Chu's heart, they were still somewhat distinct: Shi Yun was his wife, while Shi Ming was merely his lover; naturally, he gave Shi Yun more love. In certain situations, he would prioritize Shi Yun's protection. Sometimes, even with Shi Ming present, when Shi Yun became intimate with him, he would wholeheartedly embrace her. Afterwards, when Shi Ming became jealous of him, he would simply say, "You must accept all of this."

In men, the amount of emotion often equals the amount of cruelty. A man full of emotion often wields a double-edged sword of love and cruelty.

In Chapter Five

, when Shi Yun asked Zhang Chu to leave, she was already feeling slight contractions in her abdomen, but she didn't know it was a sign of impending labor. Unfortunately, the nurse on duty that day was a recent graduate, lacking clinical experience. Furthermore, during the shift change at midnight, the nurse handing over the duties didn't mention Shi Yun's name when telling her which pregnant women needed attention. Therefore, Shi Yun didn't pay much attention to Shi Yun during her routine check-up. At that time, Shi Yun was conflicted as she urged Zhang Chu to go home and rest. On one hand, she couldn't bear to see Zhang Chu sitting in the corridor all night; on the other hand, she felt lonely and scared without him. She really wanted Zhang Chu to sit beside her, waiting for the baby to be born, but she couldn't bear to let him sit in the corridor all night without sleep. Zhang Chu was usually quickly moved by Shi Yun's love. But Zhang Chu's emotions never seemed to linger in his mind for more than a few minutes; he certainly wouldn't lock himself into a single feeling because of them. As soon as Zhang Chu left the hospital, he started thinking about Shi Ming. At that time, although he had considered the possibility that Shi Yun might give birth at night, he always prioritized his own interests. In other words, he believed that Shi Yun wouldn't give birth at night, and that it was not a possibility. Given that Shi Yun wouldn't give birth at night, he had no reason to confine himself to another possible assumption.

Shi Yun was aware of this self-willed nature of Zhang Chu's, even when they first started dating. During his sophomore year, Zhang Chu had an appendectomy, which was done during summer vacation. Shi Yun stayed at school to take care of him. After the surgery, because it was summer, Zhang Chu was very dirty, and Shi Yun meticulously changed his clothes, helped him with urination and defecation, wiped his body, and prepared food for him every day. Almost no one in the ward believed that Shi Yun was Zhang Chu's girlfriend; they all thought only Zhang Chu's younger sister would take such meticulous care of him. When they were certain that Shiyun was Zhang Chu's girlfriend, some patients sighed, saying that these days, let alone girlfriends, even married couples rarely have wives who take such meticulous care of their husbands.

Zhang Chu was deeply moved and, in front of everyone in the room, swore to Shiyun, "I love you, with unwavering loyalty, unshakable even by a hurricane." Hearing Zhang Chu's words, Shiyun felt a sweet warmth in her heart and even kissed him in front of everyone. Shiyun believed in Zhang Chu's love; she believed it wouldn't waver even if Zhang Chu said it wouldn't be shaken by a million-level storm. Shiyun was confident in herself; she was beautiful, intelligent, and capable—that's how everyone had praised her since childhood. How could Zhang Chu not love her? Zhang Chu truly loved Shiyun, and from the moment he fell in love, he seemed inseparable from her. But his love was a deep, unwavering devotion, flowing like a river, only he dared not reveal it to Shiyun, fearing she would leave him if she knew. Zhang Chu's consistent view is that a man is not a man without a woman. Applying this to Zhang Chu's actual life, it means a man must be inseparable from women wherever he goes. Fortunately, Zhang Chu didn't initially elevate this statement to a revolutionary level of perfect harmony; otherwise, his relationship with Shi Yun would have endured countless bloody and arduous struggles.

After Zhang Chu had stayed in the ward for two days, a new female patient arrived in the next bed. This patient was from Nanjing, an art student, also a sophomore, and quite attractive. In the ward, family members weren't allowed to stay overnight unless they had a visitor's pass, so Shi Yun had to leave by nine o'clock. Shi Yun, worried that Zhang Chu would be bored in the hospital at night, had placed many books beside his bed—books by Rousseau, Kant, Fichte, Kafka, Byron, and others—thinkers, philosophers, novelists, and poets whom Zhang Chu admired greatly. But with such a girl lying next to Zhang Chu, and it being summer, with only a fraction of her beauty concealed, how could Zhang Chu's heart not be stirred? His temperament, at that moment, was as unrestrained as urinating anywhere, completely uninhibited; the pain of his incision was long forgotten. On the first night, he grabbed a book and talked to the girl about Rousseau, Kafka, and Byron, about the shock and feelings he had experienced after reading their works. The girl herself possessed a poetic and literary sensibility, and the two quickly hit it off. The following evening, Zhang Chu discussed painting with her, ranging from Byzantine art in Rome to Baroque art in Italy, from Impressionist art in Germany to Fauvism in France, leaving the girl utterly impressed and repeatedly asking what Zhang Chu's major was. Zhang Chu's talent for improvisation was well-known among his classmates, and he was particularly admirable for his ability to grasp what others overlooked and elevate it to a prominent position. For example, he once raised an objection to the color of the dog in Shen Congwen's novel *Border Town*, arguing that Shen Congwen shouldn't have chosen a yellow dog for the role, but rather a black one. His reasoning was that a yellow dog had no symbolic meaning in the old man's presence, especially in contrast to its surroundings, and didn't aesthetically align with the colors of the white pagoda and the stream. Therefore, when Zhang Chu discussed art with girls, his ideas were often brilliant and captivating. This was something Shi Yun often praised about him.

On the third night, Zhang Chu began to confide his feelings to the girl. In this area, Zhang Chu was incredibly adept, brimming with poetic charm, truly embodying the spirit of romance. The girl finally succumbed to Zhang Chu's strategic offensive, exchanging flirtatious glances and ambiguous words. Zhang Chu executed his three-step seduction strategy flawlessly, each step a calculated move. His basic strategy was: first, to test the waters; second, to cater to her interests; and third, to deepen the entanglement. Zhang Chu's skill in this area was absolute, almost masterful. However, during the day when Shi Yun was present, he rarely spoke to the girl; even when he did, it was a conversation typical of fellow patients. His flirtatious and promiscuous style was carefully concealed in front of Shi Yun. After three days, Zhang Chu seemed only to be waiting to reel in his catch. As for what to do after the catch, he didn't think about it, nor did he have any future plans. As for what a girl might be thinking, that's her business, Zhang Chu wouldn't bother with it. To use a popular saying, it's all about having fun. To comfort himself, the joy of fishing isn't in eating the fish. But on the morning of the fourth day, a patient in the same ward intercepted Shi Yun at the hospital entrance and told her everything about Zhang Chu's affair with that girl. When Shi Yun arrived, she was furious and unceremoniously poured a basin of water over Zhang Chu's head, saying, "Is your head still hot?" Zhang Chu, of course, understood what was going on and awkwardly replied, "I'm bored here tonight." Shi Yun angrily said, "Take care of yourself, nobody's paying attention to you today." She then turned and walked away. Seeing Shi Yun leave, Zhang Chu, ignoring the pain from his knife wound, immediately rolled off the bed and chased after her. Shi Yun saw him and quickly returned, heartbroken, helping Zhang Chu back to bed. She didn't know whether to hit him or show affection, so she could only say, "I hate you so much." Zhang Chu said, "You know I don't take anyone seriously, I only care about you, and you still act like this?" Shi Yun said, "What will you think if I go and flirt with other guys tomorrow? You'll drive me crazy!" Zhang Chu quickly grabbed Shi Yun's hand, as if apologizing, and whispered, "I won't do it again." Shi Yun angrily clenched her fist at Zhang Chu's mouth, saying, "Say it a hundred times, I love you, with unwavering loyalty, unshakable even by a raging storm!" Zhang Chu, however, got up and embraced Shi Yun, ignoring the other patients and the girl watching them, and kissed her. Even the most unfeeling girl would be moved by Zhang Chu's gesture, let alone Shi Yun.

Because of this, Shi Yun believed Zhang Chu was only fickle in spirit, not in body. Furthermore, she could see that Zhang Chu loved her deeply, so she believed he wouldn't cheat. But men who live in a fixed pattern for too long will try to create some excitement to spice things up, especially those with impulsive natures, who might unleash their suppressed emotions at the right moment. Shi Yun didn't fully understand Zhang Chu in this respect. She simply tried to make life more romantic, to give Zhang Chu as much pleasure as possible, hoping to capture all of Zhang Chu's personality within herself, and then pin her hopes on time to smooth out some of his rough edges, so that their world would surely be sunny and their love would protect them for life.

In the later stages of her pregnancy, Shi Yun faced her biggest challenge: how to satisfy Zhang Chu's desires. She never imagined that Zhang Chu would cheat on her, let alone that he was already involved with her younger sister, Shi Ming. Sometimes when Shi Ming came over, Shi Yun would talk to her about the baby in her belly. When Shi Yun talked, the joy of motherhood would naturally show on her face, which always made Shi Ming feel uncomfortable. Once, Shi Ming wanted to spy on Shi Yun and Zhang Chu's relationship, so she told Shi Yun, "You have to be careful now, your belly is so big, don't let Zhang Chu squeeze you when you sleep." Because Shi Ming was married, Shi Yun didn't hold back when talking about intimate matters with her. Shiyun said, "Men are just like that, and your brother-in-law is probably even more so than others, but there's nothing you can do about it. He'll have to have a child eventually, so he can only exhaust himself." Hearing her sister's words, Shiming secretly felt a surge of joy, thinking that when her sister said he was exhausting himself, she must mean he wouldn't stay with her. But she still couldn't completely relax, so she smiled insincerely, pretending not to understand her sister's words, and asked Shiyun, "What does 'exhausting himself' mean?" Hearing her sister's question, Shiyun couldn't help but laugh, and whispered in Shiming's ear, as if afraid someone would hear, "Dry puff." Shiyun then burst into laughter. Hearing this, Shiming, despite feeling a little unhappy, still laughed along with her sister, not wanting to arouse Shiyun's suspicion. That afternoon, she called Zhang Chu and asked him to come over. Zhang Chu was naturally overjoyed at Shiming's summons and quickly took a taxi. When he entered the room, he found Shiming looking angry. Zhang Chu ignored her and rushed over to hug Shi Ming, launching his first assault on her from head to toe. This time, Shi Ming resisted, pulling up her pants and demanding an explanation of what "drying" meant. Hearing this, Zhang Chu knew Shi Ming must have been wondering about it yesterday and had inquired with Shi Yun about it; he said, "You still need to ask? Let me give you a wet squeeze, then you'll know what drying is." As soon as Zhang Chu finished speaking, Shi Ming nestled in his arms, laughing for a long time without being able to get up.

Although she laughed, she probably didn't really understand what "drying" meant. At night, Shi Yun slept in Zhang Chu's arms, her hand almost instinctively grabbing his genitals. Sometimes, when she grabbed them, she would say, "Poor little thing." Zhang Chu would almost always get excited every time Shi Yun grabbed them. Each time, Shi Yun felt a warm glow inside; this warmth from her man was comforting. Then, Shi Yun would gently rub and tease them. Sometimes, after teasing him for a while, Shiyun would ask, "Do you miss me?" Zhang Chu would reply, "Do you even need to ask?" Shiyun would then say, "Let me put you down for a bit, look how pitiful it is. Be careful, don't press on me, or the baby will protest." Zhang Chu would then get up, his body suspended in the air, very carefully. After a while, Shiyun got a little tired, so Zhang Chu had to get down. After they lay down, Shiyun felt sorry for Zhang Chu not being able to have sex, and she was a little reluctant to let him go, so she would massage Zhang Chu until he released. Doing this made her feel much more at ease. After all, there were always some girls around Zhang Chu, and he was always feeling uneasy about being stuck there.

Around six o'clock in the morning, Shiyun's contractions suddenly became intense. When she pressed the alarm button by the bed, the baby had already emerged halfway from underneath, and Shiyun fainted in a tearing pain...

Chapter Six:

When Shiming's mother arrived at the hospital, she saw Shiming sitting in the hospital corridor, crying. She went up and called out to her daughter, asking Shiming what was wrong. As soon as Shiming saw her mother, tears streamed down her face even more. She immediately stood up and threw herself into her mother's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. Shiming's appearance startled her mother; her body seemed to suddenly chill, and she stood there trembling.

Before her mother could even ask Shiming what had happened, a series of cheers suddenly erupted from the emergency room. Shiming immediately abandoned her mother and rushed towards the room. When she arrived and saw Zhang Chu holding Shiyun, both of them weeping, she felt a surge of emotion. Shiyun was awake! Shiyun's face was now streaked with tears of happiness, good fortune, and overwhelming emotion. Shiming forgot everything else, rushed over, and embraced Zhang Chu and Shiyun, bursting into tears together. It was a tearful celebration of happiness!

Soon, Shiming's mother entered, and when she saw the scene before her, she seemed to understand what had just happened. When Shiyun looked up at her mother through tear-filled eyes, she called out, "Mom!" Tears immediately streamed down Shiyun's mother's face. She went over, took Shiyun's hand in her own, patted it twice with her other hand, then closed Shiyun's hand and placed it against her heart repeatedly, without saying a word.

At that moment, a nurse brought in Shiyun's baby.

When she placed the child in Shiyun's arms, Shiyun burst into tears again. Such hard-won happiness—women, how much of your carefree life was truly for yourself?

Zhang Chu, seeing the child, felt a surge of emotion. He grabbed Shiyun's hand and together they touched the child's face.

The child's eyes were closed, as if asleep. Zhang Chu gently touched the child's face with his little finger, then released Shiyun's hand, intending to pinch the child's nose. Shiyun quickly blocked Zhang Chu's hand and reached out to pinch his nose, smiling through her tears, saying, "I'll pinch your nose for the baby." Zhang Chu's nose stung, and tears streamed down his face. Shiyun quickly caught Zhang Chu's tears, then hooked her arms around his neck, pulling him close. Suddenly, Zhang Chu broke free from Shiyun's embrace and rushed out of the emergency room. He rushed down the stairs to a flower shop across from the hospital, bought a large bouquet of flowers, and carried it back to Shiyun. As Shiyun kissed the bouquet, tears welled in her eyes as she looked at Zhang Chu with a smile.

Shiming, standing silently to the side, wept, her heart aching with an indescribable mix of love and jealousy.

Shiyun stayed in the hospital for two weeks, and then mother and child returned home safely, healthy, and happy, filling the house with vibrant energy.

On the day he brought Shiyun and her child home, Zhang Chu was both excited and nervous. There would be another person in the house, someone who would be constantly by Shiyun's side; the days when Shiyun belonged only to him were gone forever.

Behind the joy in Zhang Chu's heart, there was an undeniable sense of melancholy.

During Shiyun's two weeks in the hospital, people visited her almost every day. People from Zhang Chu's workplace, people from Shiyun's workplace—the genuine and feigned concern reflected the established social dynamics. Shiyun complained of being tired, and Zhang Chu complained of being tired, but they couldn't escape it. Every night, Zhang Chu would stay at the hospital, keeping vigil by Shi Yun's bedside, pouring her tea and water, massaging her body, and talking to her. Once Shi Yun fell asleep, he would lie down and sleep on a recliner beside her bed—a chair he had borrowed from someone else. In the mornings, Zhang Chu would rush back from the hospital, following his mother-in-law's instructions to buy fresh, nourishing supplements for Shi Yun, keeping him extremely busy. Even so, he still often had opportunities to be alone with Shi Ming, enjoying moments of relaxation and pleasure.

Because of postpartum hemorrhage, Shi Yun was weak, so Shi Ming took a week off to stay at Shi Yun's home, helping her mother with chores and caring for her. Shi Ming's mother frequently visited Shi Yun at the hospital, bringing her meals and soup. With Shi Yun's mother at the hospital, Zhang Chu and Shi Ming often bumped into each other at home. At these times, Shi Ming felt less reserved when she was with Zhang Chu. At these moments, Shi Ming would immediately throw herself into Zhang Chu's arms. Love, jealousy, and lust could not fully express the complex emotions Shi Ming felt for Zhang Chu at that moment. When Zhang Chu caressed Shi Ming's body, he felt that it was much softer and warmer than before, as if a maternal element had grown within her, waiting to be nourished. After they got into bed, Shi Ming would always have Zhang Chu lie down, her hands gently caressing and massaging his body, sending her tenderness and pleasure to every part of his body, and then withdrawing, slowly lingering and gently caressing him, relaxing his body, until Zhang Chu could no longer wait and could not bear it any longer, then she would let Zhang Chu get up, press down on her, and enter her body. At this moment, Shi Ming's body would burn like a volcano, and in Zhang Chu's passionate thrusts, her excited body was like a water balloon full of hot water, waiting to explode. When Zhang Chu finally threw her into a surging, boiling world of bliss, Zhang Chu was also tormented by the joyful little hands that emerged from Shi Ming's vagina, experiencing ecstasy and near death.

While accompanying Shi Yun in the hospital, Zhang Chu often told her about things to do at home, plans for when they got back, and so on. At these times, Shi Yun's heart always overflowed with the pride of being a mother and the sweetness of being a wife. Sometimes,

when Zhang Chu was talking, Shi Yun would place her hand on his neck, touching his ear and gently rubbing it. Every time this happened, Zhang Chu felt a surge of warmth and joy.

One afternoon, Shi Ming came over and sat next to Shi Yun. Seeing how attentively Zhang Chu cared for Shi Yun, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and became somewhat absent-minded while talking to Shi Yun. Zhang Chu, however, was only focused on Shi Yun, saying whatever came to mind without considering that Shi Ming was sitting beside him. Later, Shi Ming noticed that Shi Yun's chest was a little damp and deliberately said that Zhang Chu must have fed her water poorly, trying to spite him. Unexpectedly, Shiyun told Shiming that it was because her breasts were too full and the milk was overflowing, soaking her clothes, even with a towel inside. Zhang Chu, ignoring Shiming's anger and pain, told Shiyun, "It's such a waste to let it run away. Let me drink it to relieve the fullness." Shiyun's face lit up with a smile, and she said to Zhang Chu, "Aren't you ashamed? My sister is right here! You're shameless, like you didn't get enough milk when you were little. I'll let you drink it all when we get home, let you drink your fill, and see if your son will slap you!" Zhang Chu immediately laughed. Shiming, however, felt a sharp pain in her heart. She glared at Zhang Chu, but

he pretended not to see her and ignored her. When Shiyun wasn't looking, Shiming pinched Zhang Chu hard with her nails. Zhang Chu, in pain, quickly pretended to get up to get some water and walked away, trying to distance himself from Shiming. At dinner time, Shiming's mother brought food to Shiyun and invited Zhang Chu to come home for dinner. Shiming intentionally didn't come to the hospital, waiting for Zhang Chu at home. As soon as Zhang Chu entered, she angrily went up to him, pinched him, and said, "Why do you still want to eat dinner? You're already full." Zhang Chu laughed and said, "What did I eat? I want to eat you now, will you give it to me or not?" Shi Ming grabbed Zhang Chu's mouth and said, "You're not allowed to eat my milk." Zhang Chu asked, "Then whose milk?" Shi Ming said, "If you say that again, you're not allowed to eat it." Zhang Chu said, "Then tell me, whose milk should I eat?" Shi Ming said, "If you keep asking, I'll tear your mouth apart." Zhang Chu quickly picked up Shi Ming, buried his face in Shi Ming's chest, and bit Shi Ming's nipple, carrying her to the bed like this. Once on the bed, Zhang Chu still bit Shi Ming's nipple and didn't let go, holding back his strength to bite harder. Shi Ming cried out, "It hurts so much!" and asked Zhang Chu, "Can you be gentler?" Seeing Shi Ming cry out, Zhang Chu bit even harder. Shi Ming said, "Can you be gentler? You're going to bite it off!" Zhang Chu still wouldn't let go, so Shi Ming pleaded, "Darling, try biting on the other breast, it hurts so much." Only then did Zhang Chu release Shi Ming's breast and press his lips to hers, laughing, "Want me to tell you something?" Shi Ming asked, "Tell me what?" Zhang Chu said, "It smells like urine." Upon hearing this, Shi Ming immediately burst into laughter and collapsed onto the bed.

After Shiming went to work, since Shiyun was still in the hospital, she rushed over as soon as she finished work to help her mother prepare things for the adults and children when they returned. She slept in Shiyun's bed at night, often tossing and turning for a long time before finally falling asleep. She could smell Zhang Chu's scent in Shiyun's bed. She imagined which side of the bed Zhang Chu was sleeping on, and then she would sleep on that side, imagining Zhang Chu holding her as they slept, his hands between her thighs or on her breasts, a very comforting sight. That's exactly how Zhang Chu slept beside her, sometimes burying his head in her chest. She especially loved it when Zhang Chu's hands were on her breasts, gently stroking them back and forth; the feeling was exquisitely beautiful. If Zhang Chu's hands were between her legs, Shiming couldn't calm her body; all her senses were focused on Zhang Chu's caresses, as if waiting for Zhang Chu to throw a pebble into a deeper, more secret pool, causing ripples to spread. Sometimes Zhang Chu would joke with her, deliberately startling her by pinching a tuft of her hair and suddenly pulling it out with a little force. Shi Ming would often be startled, feeling a kind of electric shock, but it was also very pleasurable. Sometimes Shi Ming felt a little pain and would laugh and scold Zhang Chu, "Are you crazy?" Zhang Chu would say, "Yes, I am crazy."

Then he would rub Shi Ming's hair with his hand.

Once, Shi Ming asked Zhang Chu, "Do you pinch my hair?" Zhang Chu said, "No." Shi Ming scolded, "You're crazy, then why do you pinch mine?" Zhang Chu said, "Yours is nice." Shi Ming laughed and said, "I really want to tell you, so you can slap me."

Lying in bed, Shi Ming thought most about how Zhang Chu made love with Shi Yun in bed, and how wild Zhang Chu was.

Thinking about this, Shi Ming felt no jealousy. Because at this moment, she also thought of the wonderful feeling when she made love with Zhang Chu, the warm and sweet feeling of her body gradually merging into Zhang Chu's body. Inside Zhang Chu's body, Shi Ming experienced a phantom-like bliss, her mind and body completely immersed in a state of intoxication. One evening, Zhang Chu returned from the hospital to take a shower. He opened the door and found the room quiet. Intrigued, he quietly entered to investigate. Shi Ming's mother, exhausted from a long day, had gone to bed early. Shi Ming had just finished showering and was standing in front of the mirror, combing her hair, completely naked. When Zhang Chu saw her, he froze, motionless for a long time. Shi Ming was radiant, breathtakingly beautiful. When Shi Ming turned and saw Zhang Chu, she was somewhat surprised. When she saw the look in his eyes, she didn't move, simply standing there for him to see.

After a while, Shi Ming quietly approached Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu closed his eyes, pulled Shi Ming into his arms, and remained silent for a long time, simply holding her gently, his hand stroking her back. At that moment, Shi Ming's body went limp in Zhang Chu's arms, lost in a blissful tranquility. It was a long time before Zhang Chu finally picked her up and put her to bed.

The two weeks Shi Yun spent in the hospital were also two very happy weeks for Shi Ming and Zhang Chu. After Shi Yun returned, Shi Ming felt completely lost, unsure how to bring Zhang Chu back to her side. Before

Shi

Yun returned home, Zhang Chu set up a small bed next to theirs. This way, Shi Yun and the child would sleep in the large bed, Zhang Chu in the small bed, and his mother-in-law in another room. When Shi Ming arrived, she slept with her mother.

Shi Ming was also there on Shi Yun's first day home. After dinner, Zhang Chu sat beside Shi Yun, spending several hours flipping through dictionaries trying to find a suitable name for the child, but without success. Seeing Zhang Chu struggling so much to name their child, Shi Yun teased him, saying, "You 'talented scholar' were a fraud all along! You can't even come up with a name for your child. How could I be so stupid? You've fooled me for so many years. Today you've finally shown your true colors, aren't you?"

Zhang Chu closed his dictionary, feigning surprise, and said, "I'm puzzled too. How could I be struggling to name my own child? I can just pick any character from my head, and the child's name will be unparalleled, resounding throughout the land. Is there some truth to this?" Shi Yun grabbed Zhang Chu's mouth and ripped it open, saying, "How can you talk like that? Insulting your wife like that, I'll make the baby hit you!" She then grabbed the child's hand and slapped Zhang Chu. Shi Yun's mother, sitting nearby, watched their antics and said, "You're making such a fuss over a name? How are you going to raise the child?" Zhang Chu smiled and said to Shi Yun, "This name is really hard to choose. How about we use your courtesy name and call him Shi Shi?" Shi Yun immediately objected, saying, "It's a boy, we should use your courtesy name. I think Chu Chu sounds quite nice. Let's go with that." Zhang Chu wanted to object again, but Shi Yun picked up the baby and teased him, "Chu Chu, quickly thank your father! Your father gave you a nice name." Looking at Shi Yun's expression, Zhang Chu felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He bent down and hugged Shi Yun, letting her choose the name.

After the baby's name was chosen, Zhang Chu felt a sense of joy and went to another room to tell Shi Ming, as if announcing

good news. Shi Ming was making the bed, preparing to rest. She had only sat by the bed in Shi Yun's room for a short while before leaving. She tried to avoid seeing Zhang Chu and her sister's affectionate interaction; it hurt her heart. In front of Shi Ming, Zhang Chu never hid his attitude towards Shi Yun. If Shi Ming was angry afterwards, Zhang Chu would always tease her about it, and Shi Ming couldn't do anything about it, much less argue with him. She even seemed to sense that Zhang Chu was forcing her to get used to all of this. Now, hearing Zhang Chu's words, and thinking that every time her sister called him "Chu Chu," it was as if she was calling Zhang Chu's name in her heart, she became even angrier. She sarcastically remarked to Zhang Chu, "Why not call him Chu Shi? It's a combination of both names; people would think it's a name taken from the 'Song of Chu,' so cultured! And it's the fruit of love; why not use such a good name?" Zhang Chu chuckled and said, "You should listen to that. But when the child grows up, if they ask you, 'Was this name chosen from your and Dad's names, or Mom and Dad's names?' how will you answer?" Shi Ming angrily pinched Zhang Chu's chest hard, saying fiercely, "Why are you dragging me into this! What does this have to do with me!" Zhang Chu seemed to be getting carried away, reciting, "Fish play among the lotus leaves to the east, fish play among the lotus leaves to the west..." Shi Ming felt a surge of resentment, and seeing Zhang Chu's continued enthusiasm only intensified her disgust. Yet, she was helpless against Zhang Chu and couldn't afford to show her jealousy, fearing her mother or Shi Yun outside would hear. She could only suppress her heartache and whisper, "You're reciting 'Chu Song,' aren't you? With such limited education, you still have to show off, like a big clown. Aren't you afraid people will find you annoying?" Zhang Chu acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued, "Lotus leaves are so lush, fish play among the lotus leaves..." Shi Ming, furious, pinched Zhang Chu hard.

At that moment, countless tears welled up in Shi Ming's heart, just waiting to be plucked. Seeing the turmoil on Shi Ming's face, Zhang Chu knew things were going badly. He quickly hugged Shi Ming and then fled her room, returning to Shi Yun's side.

Since Shi Yun returned home, Zhang Chu had spent very little time in his office each day. He usually goes to the office around 10 a.m., wanders around for a bit to see if there's anything urgent. If not, he rushes home to buy groceries, spend time with Shiyun, and take care of the baby. In the afternoon, he does n't go back to work until 3 or 4 p.m., sits in the office for a while, chats with everyone about the news or sports, and then quickly slips home to be with Shiyun and help his mother-in-law with chores.

His department doesn't have much work to begin with, and with everyone taking care of his wife after the baby's birth, he has even less to do. After a few days of this, he sometimes simply doesn't go to work at all, feeling that going would be a waste of time.

Shi Yun was in her postpartum confinement period, and with so much to do for both mother and child, Zhang Chu was preoccupied with Shi Yun and the baby. As a result, a week passed without him visiting Shi Ming. Shi Ming knew Zhang Chu was busy and couldn't come, and although she missed him, she refrained from calling or asking him out. When the weekend arrived, Shi Ming came alone and saw Zhang Chu happily doting on Shi Yun and the baby. She couldn't help but feel unhappy, secretly resenting him for not visiting her and for forgetting her. When her mother wasn't around, Shi Ming used words to provoke Zhang Chu, even subtly hinting that someone had introduced her to a boyfriend who seemed quite nice. Hearing this, and knowing that Shi Ming hadn't called him for a week, Zhang Chu assumed it was true and felt a tightness in his chest. Fortunately, Shi Ming was there; otherwise, he might have been overthinking things. But now, despite his anger, he seemed to have found a reason to retaliate against Shi Ming, so he stubbornly ignored her. Sometimes, even in front of Shiming, he would say sweet, almost nauseating things to Shiyun, and even touch her body with extra affection, just to make Shiming see and feel hurt. Shiming, seeing this, couldn't bear the torment of this heartbreak. Several times she ran to the bathroom, closed the door, and secretly wept.

After the weekend, Zhang Chu went to work on Monday, feeling even more distressed, wondering if the boyfriend Shiming spoke of was real. Finally, unable to bear the agonizing emotions, he called Shiming in the afternoon.

Shiming was both happy and angry to receive Zhang Chu's call. But in front of her colleagues, she couldn't argue with him on the phone, so she simply said, "We'll talk later," and hung up. Zhang Chu, thinking Shiming wanted him to come over, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and rushed to Shiming's place. But when he arrived at Shiming's dormitory, he waited a long time, and Shiming didn't return. Zhang Chu's anger flared even more, but he still waited patiently. He lay down on the bed and waited a while, but Shi Ming still didn't return. Zhang Chu was so angry he started punching Shi Ming's pillow. He thought to himself, "Shi Ming is definitely playing a trick on me this time."

Just as he got up to leave, Shi Ming opened the door and came in. Shi Ming was secretly pleased to see Zhang Chu, but she still pretended to be somewhat indifferent, showing him no enthusiasm. After hanging up the phone, Shi Ming sat down and pondered Zhang Chu's wild thoughts. Suddenly, she remembered what she had said to him on the phone, thinking that he might have interpreted it as a call for him to come over. She quickly called Zhang Chu to find out, but he wasn't there. She rushed back to check, just in time to find Zhang Chu angrily about to leave. Seeing Zhang Chu's expression, she knew what he was thinking and what made him angry. She thought, "Why not take this opportunity to make him angry and see how important I am to him?"

After coming in, Shi Ming simply sat down to one side, ignoring Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu, being a bit temperamental, saw Shi Ming's coldness and retorted angrily. However, his anger was different from Shi Ming's. When Shi Ming was truly angry, she ignored him, but when he was angry, he would use a whole string of words to provoke her, returning his anger to her. At this moment, seeing Shi Ming sitting to the side, ignoring him, Zhang Chu turned his back to her and said to himself, "Ignoring me, giving me the cold shoulder? Do you think I have to come here? Anyway, you'll have a boyfriend sooner or later. Tell me, I'm not surprised at all, I'm actually happy, less trouble. Besides, it's not like I don't love your sister. If I wanted to find a lover, hey, I could pick one up today and have one tomorrow. Really, these days, who's afraid of lacking lovers?

Fine, I wish you happiness."

As Zhang Chu said this, Shi Ming's tears fell. She had mentioned someone introducing her to a boyfriend, and Zhang Chu actually said he was happy; of course, she was angry. Hearing Shi Ming cry behind him, Zhang Chu realized he had gone too far. He quickly went to her, grabbed her hand, and said, as if to her and himself, "I'm so angry!" Seeing that Shi Ming still wouldn't stop crying, he added, "I was wrong, okay?" Shi Ming cried even harder, relentlessly trying to break down Zhang Chu's defenses, hoping to further humiliate him. Seeing that his pleas were useless, Zhang Chu forcibly carried Shi Ming to the bed, then lay on top of her, his face close to hers, and carefully said, "Today I'm going to be a little dog. You can mistreat me however you want." This made Shi Ming laugh. She tried to stop laughing, not wanting to give Zhang Chu such an easy time, but the more she tried, the more she laughed. Seeing Shi Ming's reaction, Zhang Chu finally understood what was going on. He sat up, feigning seriousness, and said, "So you were planning to harm me all along." Shi Ming immediately sat up, glaring at Zhang Chu, and shouted, "Say that again!"

Zhang Chu quickly retracted his tongue and said, "Fine, after the first experience of being a puppy, the second time is inevitable. Do as you please." Zhang Chu's words immediately made Shi Ming laugh again. Looking at Zhang Chu, Shi Ming truly loved him from the bottom of her heart. She reached out and tugged at Zhang Chu's clothes, saying, "Then why are you still sitting here?" Hearing this, Zhang Chu quickly hugged Shi Ming and rubbed her body. Zhang Chu hadn't been intimate with Shi Ming for over a week, and now, holding her, he felt a little restless. Shi Ming noticed that Zhang Chu was very eager and wanted to give in to him, but she was worried that he would get excited too quickly and she wouldn't be able to keep up, preventing him from experiencing that incomparably pleasurable feeling. So she had Zhang Chu lie down, and she straddled him, gently moving in and out, exploring her own body first. When her body was almost overflowing, she rolled off and let Zhang Chu get up and ravage her. As Shi Ming's body convulsed and crawled onto Zhang Chu, Zhang Chu felt as if he had completely slipped into Shi Ming's body, swimming within her and experiencing that incomparably wonderful, almost overwhelming pleasure. After an even stronger spasm in Shi Ming's body, Zhang Chu's body suddenly exploded inside her. Then he felt countless gentle, joyful little hands crawling and caressing him. After a series of soft moans, Zhang Chu's body went completely limp in Shi Ming's arms. A few

days later, Shi Yun's mother said that once Shi Yun was a month old, she would take her home to recuperate in their hometown.

Shi Yun had the same idea. She felt that it was too tiring for Zhang Chu to rush to work and back home. He could hardly focus on his work, spending all his time at home taking care of Shi Yun and the baby. In particular, Zhang Chu couldn't sleep at night. The baby was always crying at night, and Shi Yun had to sit up, hold the baby, and sit on the bed to soothe him. Seeing this, Zhang Chu would always rush to get up and hold the baby so that Shi Yun could lie down and rest. Shi Yun was somewhat reluctant, but she couldn't resist Zhang Chu's insistence, so she had to let him take the baby. While Zhang Chu held the baby, Shi Yun couldn't actually sleep. The young couple would talk like this at night, sometimes until dawn. One night, Zhang Chu said to Shi Yun, "I've never had a child before, I really didn't know it would be so tiring." Shi Yun, thinking Zhang Chu was complaining about being tired, said, "I told you to just go to work, my mother can handle things, it's you who's tired." Zhang Chu realized Shi Yun had misunderstood and quickly said, "I meant you're tired. Look at you now, you really look like a little housewife." Shi Yun immediately said, "I am your little housewife, how can I look like one? Do you think I've become ugly from having a baby?"

Zhang Chu laughed and said, "I had completely forgotten that you were already a little housewife. Saying you're a little housewife now means you're busy with the baby and thinking of me, worried you'll get too tired." Hearing this, Shi Yun felt a warmth in her heart and softly said to Zhang Chu, "I often think about you, and sometimes I worry that you'll get into trouble outside. You have a bit of a flirtatious streak, and you're quite easygoing. Even the best woman would find it hard to keep you, especially when a woman is pregnant and giving birth. Men are most prone to getting into trouble at this time. And you're so energetic, how can you stay still? I've always been a little uneasy."

Hearing Shi Yun's words, Zhang Chu quickly replied, "Look at me now, I'm rarely in the office anymore, I'm always thinking about coming home to be with you. Would I be like this if there were other women? You still don't trust me?" Shi Yun said, "Of course I trust you. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have a child.

Anyway, you can't cause trouble outside. If there are other women, I'll rebel against you." After saying this, Shi Yun laughed at herself. Then she reached across the bed, grabbed Zhang Chu's penis, and massaged it for him. Zhang Chu also reached out and touched Shi Yun's face, but a hint of apology crept into his heart.

Shi Ming was naturally happy to learn that her mother wanted to take Shi Yun home to recuperate. She thought to herself that this way she could spend some more time freely with Zhang Chu. When she went to Shi Yun's place, she couldn't help but repeatedly encourage her mother. Furthermore, she was worried that Zhang Chu wouldn't let Shi Yun leave, so when Zhang Chu visited her once, she asked him what he thought about Shi Yun going home to rest. Zhang Chu naturally didn't dare express his opinion in front of Shi Ming, and could only say that it was up to her. Just as Zhang Chu was about to get into the mood, Shi Ming added, "You're not allowed to stop me!"

Zhang Chu couldn't resist such emotional manipulation and gave in completely, saying, "Whatever you say." Only then did Shi Ming let Zhang Chu proceed.

After Shi Yun's one-month celebration, Zhang Chu specially booked several tables at a restaurant to entertain friends, classmates, and some colleagues. It was also to celebrate Shi Yun's safe return. That night, for the first time since Shi Yun gave birth, Zhang Chu slept in her arms, caressing her body and kissing her passionately. Shi Yun then put her nipple in Zhang Chu's mouth for him to suckle. After a couple of small sucks, Zhang Chu suddenly became more forceful, simultaneously kneading Shi Yun's other breast and rubbing his legs between hers. These actions instantly made Shi Yun weak with pleasure, and with Zhang Chu's suckling, a wave of pleasure, like an electric current, spread through her body, burning hot. After a while, Zhang Chu rolled over, supporting Shi Yun's back, and pulled her close to his chest, sharing with her that seemingly long-lost, intoxicating feeling. A night of little sleep and much love.

The next day, Zhang Chu set off with Shi Yun, Chu Chu, and Shi Yun's mother to Shi Yun's hometown, Qingdao, Shandong.

Shi Ming quietly longed for Zhang Chu's early return… 03-12

Chapter Eight:

Zhang Chu only stayed in Qingdao for two days. On the morning of the third day, he boarded a train to return to Nanjing for work. He had originally planned to stay in Qingdao for a few days to be with Shi Yun. However, Shi Yun's father told him to go back to work and not to take his job so lightly.

Although Shi Yun was somewhat reluctant to see Zhang Chu leave so soon, she couldn't say much in front of her father, so she could only ask Zhang Chu to come and visit when he had time. This was the first time Zhang Chu and Shi Yun had been separated for such a long time since they started dating.

After boarding the train, Zhang Chu seemed to relax completely. He climbed into his sleeper berth, lay down, and soon fell asleep. When he woke up, the train had arrived in Bengbu, Anhui. Zhang Chu got off his berth, went to the top of the carriage to get some water, and when he returned, he found a pretty girl lying on the opposite berth. When Zhang Chu looked at her, she looked at him too, seemingly trying to find a topic to talk about. But Zhang Chu wasn't in the mood and wasn't keen on speaking. He checked the time; it was only a little before 5 PM, and there were still nearly four hours to go to Nanjing. He thought that if he arrived in Nanjing at 9 PM, it wouldn't be too late in the city, and he could go straight to Shi Ming's place afterward. Otherwise, going back to that quiet room alone would be too lonely. After thinking this, he took out the storybook he had bought before boarding the train from his bag and lay down on his bunk to read it. The girl opposite him saw Zhang Chu reading the book and seemed to think he was a bit bored.

She took out An Su's copy of "Absolute Privacy" from under her and showed it to Zhang Chu, saying that the book was somewhat meaningful and asking if he wanted to read it. Zhang Chu had skimmed through "Absolute Privacy" before, but hadn't read it carefully, and when the girl asked him, he couldn't remember what it was about. He took the book from the girl, glanced at the table of contents, and remembered some of the content. He asked the girl where he was getting off the train, and she said Chuzhou. Nanjing is only a 30-40 minute drive from Chuxian. Zhang Chu told the girl he would get off in Nanjing. Then he started telling her about some plots from the book *Absolute Privacy*. Zhang Chu told the girl that An Dun's book was full of lies; one moment she said a woman treated every man with the feelings of first love, the next she said another woman was taken home by a man she barely knew and slept with him—all of this was An Dun's own delusion. The girl asked Zhang Chu if it was possible for those two women to be together. Zhang Chu said, even less likely. The girl said, maybe.

They chatted like this until the train arrived in Chuxian. When the girl got off, she asked Zhang Chu if he wanted to walk around on the platform for some fresh air. Zhang Chu went down with her. As they walked, the girl continued talking, still trying to explain her reasons to Zhang Chu. Suddenly, Zhang Chu asked, "Have you ever had this kind of experience?"

The girl gave Zhang Chu a sensitive look. Zhang Chu felt he had asked a somewhat inappropriate question. Just then, the train whistle blew, and Zhang Chu quickly put down the girl's bag and rushed onto the train. But by the time he ran over, the train doors had already closed and

it was leaving. Zhang Chu stood there helplessly, sighing. Luckily, he didn't have much luggage, so he could only wait for the next train.

When Zhang Chu turned back to look at the girl, she was standing there, looking at him. The station lights weren't very bright, and it was somewhat dark around her, except for her eyes, which shone brightly in the night. Zhang Chu walked over, and the girl apologized to him. Zhang Chu smiled.

The girl asked Zhang Chu if he had ever been to Chuxian before, and he said no. The girl then told him to go for a walk outside the station, since he was leaving soon anyway. Zhang Chu accompanied the girl out of the platform and walked around the station. The night in the small town wasn't as bright as in the big city; the area outside the station wasn't very well lit. After walking around the station with the girl, Zhang Chu said to her, "You should go home. I'll catch the next train." The girl said, "I'll leave after you leave." Zhang Chu said, "What if I don't leave tonight?" The girl said, "I won't leave either." Zhang Chu smiled, not really believing her. But the girl added, "I'm not lying to you."

Not wanting to lose face in front of the girl, Zhang Chu booked a double room at the Yueting Hotel near the train station. After entering the room, he first called Shiyun to tell her he had arrived in Nanjing and to reassure her. The girl stood beside him while he was on the phone. After Zhang Chu finished the call, the girl asked, "Is your lover beautiful?"

Zhang Chu replied, "Very beautiful."

Zhang Chu and the girl went downstairs for a meal, returning around 11 PM. After returning to the room, the girl continued to inquire about Zhang Chu's lover, which he readily explained. Suddenly, the girl asked Zhang Chu, "Do you have a lover?"

Zhang Chu had a feeling the girl might be a reporter or something similar. Zhang Chu said, "No." The girl said, "Yes."

Zhang Chu asked why she said yes. The girl said, "I can tell from your eyes." Then she pressed further, "Is your lover also beautiful?" Zhang Chu still said no.

The girl accused Zhang Chu of being dishonest. Then she said to Zhang Chu, "Do you only sleep with beautiful women?" Zhang Chu said, "My lover is very beautiful." No! The girl interrupted Zhang Chu, continuing, "I mean, when you go to sleep with girls, do you only go to pretty girls?"

Zhang Chu thought this girl was asking a really good question, or perhaps trying to prove something. Zhang Chu didn't know how to answer, so he said to the girl, "Let's watch TV." The girl said, "It's already one o'clock, there's nothing to watch. You don't want to answer my question?"

Zhang Chu said, "Pretty women are actually a symbol of individuality. Men feel more comfortable having sex with pretty women."

The girl asked, "Have you ever had that experience?"

Zhang Chu said, "Let's talk about 'Absolute Privacy'."

The girl said, "We're talking about absolute privacy right now.

" Zhang Chu asked, "Have you slept with many men?"

The girl said, "Are you saying I'm pretty?"

Zhang Chu felt a little tired and wanted to rest, so he told the girl, "It's late, let's go to sleep." The girl asked, "Have you ever slept in the same room as a strange girl like this?" Zhang Chu said, "No." The girl asked, "Can you sleep?" Zhang Chu said, "I'm really tired."

When Zhang Chu woke up, the bed opposite him was empty; the girl had left sometime earlier. Zhang Chu quickly got up.

After getting dressed, Zhang Chu suddenly noticed a pink bra next to his pillow. He picked it up and examined it, finding it odd. He remembered nothing had happened the night before; it couldn't have been left behind by a girl. Before leaving, Zhang Chu took the bra with him.

He returned to Nanjing in the morning and rushed to work in the afternoon. His colleagues, knowing his wife had gone back to her hometown, teased him, saying it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and urging him to seize it. Some male colleagues told him, "You can seduce someone's wife, but not a girl. Once you're hooked, it's hard to let go. The result is often losing both your wife and your heart. Even wealthy men are afraid of their mistresses becoming husbands—it's not a game." Several female colleagues chimed in, agreeing. Zhang Chu then said, "Anyone who wants to be seduced? I'm on my way." The male colleagues then said to the female colleagues, "Register! Who's first?" The female colleagues laughed and said, "We'll all take Zhang Chu! Let's see how he manages himself tonight!"

Before leaving work, Zhang Chu called Shi Ming to tell her he was back and then asked her to come over. When Shi Ming arrived, she immediately asked Zhang Chu where he had spent the night. She said she had called home the day before, and Shi Yun told her what time Zhang Chu had taken the train and that he should have arrived home last night. Zhang Chu then told Shi Ming everything that had happened the previous night, and finally, he showed her the girl's bra. Shi Ming didn't believe Zhang Chu hadn't had sex with that girl and questioned him about every detail. Zhang Chu finally said, "If I had had sex with that girl, I wouldn't have told you." Shi Ming was furious and went to the kitchen, lit the gas, and burned the bra.

Zhang Chu himself was confused and even felt he had acted absurdly. After sitting for a while, a strange thought crossed his mind. He looked at Shi Ming, hesitated several times, but still asked her, "What color is your bra?"

Hearing this, Shi Ming became even angrier and ran to her room alone, ignoring Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu quickly followed and hugged Shi Ming from behind. After embracing for a while, Zhang Chu secretly pulled open Shi Ming's shirt to see what color her bra was. Shi Ming, realizing Zhang Chu's actions, jerked up, sat up, and quickly stripped off all her clothes, throwing them in front of Zhang Chu, saying, "Look, is there anything else you want to see?" Zhang Chu felt a little ashamed and was about to hug Shi Ming when the phone rang. He quickly answered it; it was his colleague, Ms. Chen, calling.

Zhang Chu was puzzled; Ms. Chen had never called before, and he wondered what important matter it was.

Ms. Chen told Zhang Chu on the phone that she had gone to the mailroom to pick up newspapers and letters that day, including one addressed to Zhang Chu, which she had forgotten to give him today. She would give it to him at work tomorrow. Zhang Chu thanked her, and Ms. Chen hung up. When Zhang Chu returned to the room, Shi Ming was already dressed and said she wanted to go home and didn't want to see Zhang Chu again. Zhang Chu quickly hugged Shi Ming again, tickling and teasing her. Shi Ming finally couldn't resist Zhang Chu's teasing and hugged him, but one hand slipped inside Zhang Chu's pants, grabbing his genitals and gradually pulling harder until Zhang Chu cried out, "You're killing me!" She then stopped, saying, "Tell me honestly, have you slept with anyone?"

Zhang Chu kissed Shi Ming and said, "I'll sleep with you later." Shi Ming finally released her, somewhat satisfied.

The next morning, as soon as she arrived at work, Ms. Chen delivered a letter to Zhang Chu. It was from an old classmate, and Zhang Chu didn't rush to read it, setting it aside. Ms. Chen sat down opposite Zhang Chu and chatted about entertainment gossip, mentioning the crisis in Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's relationship. Zhang Chu liked both of them, especially Zhang Yimou's films. He then told Ms. Chen about the artistic features of Zhang Yimou's "Red Sorghum."

Finally, he told Ms. Chen that the love expressed in "Red Sorghum" didn't exist in real life; it embodied the author's ideal personality. If Zhang Yimou and Gong Li were to have a love affair, it would be a real-life version of "Red Sorghum." Since the love story in "Red Sorghum" doesn't exist in real life, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li's love affair would certainly have no ending. Their love would serve as the best footnote to their films.

Ms. Chen was very impressed by Zhang Chu's words. Ms. Chen worked in another office, two rooms away from Zhang Chu's, sharing an office with Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu and Zhang Chu were close friends of the opposite sex, and Zhang Chu often went to their office to chat with Xiao Xu, but he rarely spoke to Ms. Chen. Ms. Chen was the wife of a high-ranking official in the city, a sexy and wealthy woman, who had married earlier than Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu was somewhat cautious around her. The interpersonal relationships in government offices are complex; you can't offend anyone, because a little entanglement can often expose a powerful figure. Having experienced some things in the censorship department, Zhang Chu began to realize this and started paying more attention to this aspect. Survival of the fittest is not just a common philosophy, especially for Sartre, who considered individual existence the basis of all existence and treated it as the highest philosophical principle. Zhang Chu had already verified this through his personal life experiences and grasped the essence of this philosophy.

After that, Ms. Chen often came to chat with Zhang Chu. Zhang Chu was quite cultured; he could talk at length about all sorts of things, including music, movies, poetry, and novels, which seemed to appeal to Ms. Chen's interests. When Zhang Chu went to her office, besides chatting with Xiao Xu, he also started chatting with Ms. Chen. Some time later, one evening before leaving work, Ms. Chen suddenly and secretly slipped Zhang Chu a concert ticket. Zhang Chu was in a dilemma. On the one hand, with Shi Ming around, he couldn't leave that night. On the other hand, personnel relationships in the bureau were often based on covert connections; some rose rapidly while others fell from grace, all due to changes in their backers. And since Ms. Chen was in the same department as Zhang Chu, this kind of colleague relationship couldn't be ignored. On the night of the concert, Zhang Chu managed to gain Shi Ming's trust and went anyway.

The performance had just begun when Zhang Chu entered the hall. After finding his seat, he didn't see Ms. Chen, and looking around at the people around him, he didn't recognize anyone. Zhang Chu felt somewhat at ease. The performing group was a famous German orchestra. The program included works by Bach, Bizet, Mendelssohn, and some contemporary luminaries. Among them, Bach's *St. Matthew Passion* was Zhang Chu's favorite piece. In the atmosphere of Bach's music, filled with desire and self-purification, Zhang Chu sometimes felt confused. Bach insisted on having sex with his wife twice a week, resulting in her becoming pregnant and giving birth to over a dozen children. Was this "St. Matthew" Bach or his wife?

Shortly after the concert began, Zhang Chu suddenly felt someone place a hand on the back of his hand. Turning around, he saw that Ms. Chen had already sat down. When Zhang Chu looked at her, she didn't look at him, but was completely absorbed in listening to a piece from Bizet's *Carmen* being played on stage. At that moment, Carmen's suffering was amplified to its extreme in Bizet's music, and Jose was trying his best to save Carmen's soul. Zhang Chu was a little nervous, his hand tightly gripping Ms. Chen's hand.

When Zhang Chu returned, it was already past eleven o'clock. Shi Ming was still awake, leaning against the bed watching TV, waiting for him.

These days, Zhang Chu was a little strange about himself. Being with Shi Ming didn't seem to fill him with the same joy and happiness as when Shi Yun was around. Even during sex, Zhang Chu felt that something was missing from the excitement. He called Shi Yun twice a day to ask about her and the child. Shi Yun would always give Zhang Chu a few instructions on the phone, and then flirt with him a bit at the end. Sometimes Zhang Chu would talk about Shi Yun's health, which made her very happy. When

Shi Ming asked Zhang Chu how the concert was, Zhang Chu took out a Bach CD and put it in the player. Shi Ming immediately got up to turn off the machine, saying she didn't like listening to Bach's music, finding it too monotonous and rigid, and irritating. Zhang Chu said that was all for the concert, and as he finished speaking, the melody of Bizet's "Flower Song" from Carmen suddenly filled his ears. Zhang Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he said to Shi Ming, "Take off your clothes. I've never really seen your naked body properly before!"

Shi Ming smiled and said that Zhang Chu's musical skills had only improved this much after attending the concert. Zhang Chu still insisted that Shi Ming take off all her clothes so he could see her. Shi Ming actually took off her clothes in front of Zhang Chu, standing naked before him. When Zhang Chu looked at Shi Ming's naked body, his eyes were filled with a dreamlike light, as if he were marveling at it with some kind of amazement. After a while, he told Shi Ming to take a few more steps, but Shi Ming walked up to Zhang Chu, pressed her body against his chest, and said, "What's wrong with you? Do you want to see a pornographic performance?!" Zhang Chu, still in his arms, carefully caressed the lines of Shi Ming's body. As Zhang Chu stroked the tea leaves, he seemed somewhat lost, as if searching for something mysterious.

The next day at work, when Zhang Chu saw Ms. Chen, they greeted each other as usual, chatting about gossip and entertainment news, occasionally sharing anecdotes from the office. Two days later, Zhang Chu was to go on a business trip to Wuxi. When traveling alone, Zhang Chu didn't like having a car; he and the driver couldn't find anything to talk about. He asked the clerk to buy him a train ticket to Wuxi for noon. That same day, Ms. Chen was also going on a business trip to Suzhou, also by train, and she had bought a ticket for a train departing around 4 PM.

Shi Ming knew Zhang Chu was going on a business trip. On the phone, she said he hadn't kissed her the night before. Zhang Chu replied, "Then come over and let me kiss you." Shi Ming immediately rushed over. After a passionate encounter in bed, Shi Ming suddenly asked Zhang Chu, "Did you think of me when you were making love with me?" Zhang Chu replied, "At that time, I wouldn't be distracted." Shi Ming said, "When you come back, I want to make love with you in front of the mirror and see how you can be so happy.

" Zhang Chu boarded the train and, just as he sat down, suddenly noticed Ms. Chen walking towards his carriage from the platform. He vaguely sensed that this trip was somewhat special…

Chapter Nine:

After Ms. Chen boarded the train, Zhang Chu stood up to greet her, and then they sat together. Ms. Chen told Zhang Chu that she had changed her ticket at the last minute; she had some business in Wuxi first, and then went to Suzhou.

Before boarding, Zhang Chu had brought a book, *From Half-Naked to Fully Naked*, a work exploring female nude poetry. Seeing the book in front of Zhang Chu, Ms. Chen picked it up, flipped through a couple of pages, and then, with a subtle , mischievous smile, said to Zhang Chu, "So you have a voyeuristic streak?

" Zhang Chu was amused by Ms. Chen's remark. The weather in the south was already quite warm in June, and Ms. Chen's outer garment had a low neckline, partially revealing her round, snow-white breasts, exuding a captivating allure.

Three men sat opposite Zhang Chu, their eyes constantly darting and lurking on Ms. Chen's chest. Their gazes, besides being somewhat seductive, also had a voyeuristic element at play. Sometimes, Zhang Chu unconsciously followed the men's gazes towards Ms. Chen's chest. Sometimes, Ms. Chen's gaze met his own, making Zhang Chu feel very uncomfortable, and he had to quickly look away, pretending to be unintentional. Ms. Chen was a year older than Zhang Chu, and she also appeared more mature, making Zhang Chu feel even more restrained. From Zhang Chu's gaze and expression, Ms. Chen seemed to have completely read his mind. Sometimes she would deliberately turn her body, exposing her chest to Zhang Chu's gaze, flipping to a page in a book, and randomly picking a line of poetry to read to him, such as, "What depreciates the most? Chastity and matches," or "Facing you, my harbor is rising with the tide, surging to swallow Guanyin." At these times, Zhang Chu couldn't control his gaze, which was completely absorbed in Ms. Chen's cleavage, even wanting to explore deeper. At this moment, a sly smile would appear in Ms. Chen's eyes. Zhang Chu vaguely sensed that Ms. Chen was intentionally teasing him. He felt too embarrassed and should avoid her. The train Zhang Chu was on was a double-decker, a special train on the Shanghai-Nanjing line. He stood up and told Ms. Chen he was going to the restroom. Avoiding her gaze, he quietly went around to the stairwell, went up to the upper floor, and found a seat. He sat there, gazing out the window, his mind solely focused on Shiyun and his child. Occasionally, he also thought of Shiming. While thinking of them, Zhang Chu felt a turmoil in his heart, as if some rebellious wound had been opened.

After passing Changzhou, the next stop was Wuxi, which would arrive soon. Zhang Chu felt he should get off, so he got up. He sat down next to Ms. Chen, who asked him, "Why did you take so long? I thought you'd run away." Zhang Chu said he'd met an acquaintance, and they started chatting. Ms. Chen said they were almost in Wuxi. Zhang Chu asked Ms. Chen, "Where are you going in Wuxi for business?" Ms. Chen then secretly pinched Zhang Chu's hand on the seat. Zhang Chu didn't dare ask any further questions, nor did he dare look at Ms. Chen. Whether it was anticipation or fear, Zhang Chu felt uneasy.

The train arrived in Wuxi near dusk. After getting off the train and leaving the station, Zhang Chu hailed a taxi. They got in together and then got off at a hotel near the municipal government. Throughout the entire journey from the train station to the hotel, Ms. Chen remained silent, as if entrusting everything to Zhang Chu, letting him arrange things for her, or perhaps testing him. Zhang Chu was conflicted. Ms. Chen's background was unusual; he couldn't be disrespectful, yet he couldn't overstep his bounds. Even though Zhang Chu completely understood Ms. Chen's thoughts, he still felt some apprehension.

At this moment, Zhang Chu deeply understood that cautiously navigating uncharted territory was the wisest choice when one is unwise.

After booking a double room, they went upstairs together. The room was on the third floor, spacious and bright, with views of Wuxi's most bustling avenue. But Zhang Chu had no time to appreciate the city's scenery. He sat on the sofa, constantly hesitating and struggling internally. When Zhang Chu came out, Shi Ming had already told him that he needed to give her the hotel room's phone number. Shi Ming was watching Zhang Chu even more closely than Shi Yun was. Zhang Chu didn't know what Shi Ming was thinking. Perhaps it was because Shi Ming knew about his infidelity while Shi Yun didn't. But he had to give Shi Ming the room number; once he

did, she would feel at ease. Finally, Zhang Chu mustered up his courage and told Ms. Chen, "My wife knows I'm on a business trip. I told her I'd give her the hotel room number when I got to Wuxi; she might call." Ms. Chen smiled slightly and said, "You're so thoughtful. It's alright, answer the phone if it rings." After the hotel staff brought all the necessary amenities to the room, including the water bottle, cups, and towels, Zhang Chu hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign outside the door and locked it. At this point, Zhang Chu knew he couldn't pretend to be naive in front of Ms. Chen any longer. Besides, Ms. Chen's breasts had been on display for hours, and Zhang Chu couldn't resist the temptation.

When Zhang Chu returned to the room, Ms. Chen was sitting on the edge of the bed, head down, quietly waiting for what was about to happen. Zhang Chu walked over and sat down beside her, his eyes fixed on the ground, seemingly lost, or perhaps still uneasy about his impending transgression. Ms. Chen waited a while, and seeing that Zhang Chu didn't move, she nudged him with her shoulder and said, "You're just staring blankly." Zhang Chu turned to the side, his gaze lingering on Ms. Chen's face for only about a second before he suddenly pulled her into a hug. This sudden action, if delayed any longer, might have caused Zhang Chu to lose his courage. Ms. Chen, however, seemed impatient, quickly rolling onto the bed with Zhang Chu in her arms. In her embrace, it seemed that wherever Zhang Chu touched her, Ms. Chen would let out a series of moans and groans, as if her body, long suppressed, was finally getting a chance to release.

Ms. Chen rolled around on the bed with Zhang Chu in her arms for a long time. They rolled from one end of the bed to the other, and then back again, even falling to the floor once in between. Only after Ms. Chen had finished kissing Zhang Chu did she strip him of his clothes, then remove her own. Then, in a tearful voice, she said to Zhang Chu, "Baby, fuck your sister Chen hard."

Zhang Chu straddled Ms. Chen, placing his hands on her full breasts, glancing down at her lower body, and then thrusting forcefully into her. With this movement, Ms. Chen let out her first deep, pleasurable moan. Then, with each thrust, Ms. Chen emitted a series of moans, growing louder and louder, as if the pleasure reached the depths of her soul.

Worried that those outside the door might hear her moans, Zhang Chu lessened the intensity of his movements. But Ms. Chen refused, thrusting against Zhang Chu with all her might, pleading with him to pounce on her. Zhang Chu had no choice but to pull a sheet over Ms. Chen's face, covering her mouth, and then forcefully thrust into her. Even with her mouth covered by the sheet, Ms. Chen's moans continued with intense pleasure. When Zhang Chu brought her to orgasm, she let out a long, resonant "Ah!" that lasted for a full two minutes. With that "Ah!", her body arched in ecstasy, her hands gripping Zhang Chu's hips tightly, as if trying to sink him into her. Under Ms. Chen's powerful thrusts, Zhang Chu's penis exploded inside her, achieving an incredibly pleasurable climax…

When Zhang Chu climbed off Ms. Chen, he was covered in sweat, his body limp as if all his strength had been exhausted.

Ms. Chen rolled over and lay on top of Zhang Chu, gently rubbing his face with her hands. She said to him with obvious gratitude, "Baby, this feels so good." Then, she tenderly pulled Zhang Chu into her arms.

Exhausted, Zhang Chu quickly fell asleep in Ms. Chen's arms. When he woke up, it was already dark. Zhang Chu hurriedly got up and said he needed to call his lover, to give her the hotel room's phone number, to reassure her. While Zhang Chu was on the phone, Ms. Chen sat silently beside him. After connecting with Shi Ming, Zhang Chu tried to steer the conversation away from certain topics, then shared some intimate conversations with Shi Ming to assure her that he was alone in the room. Ms. Chen was unaware that Zhang Chu was calling someone else; she felt a strange unease listening to his intimate conversations. After finishing his call with Shi Ming, Zhang Chu wanted to call Shi Yun, but he was worried that Ms. Chen would become suspicious. He thought he would use his card to call Shi Yun from outside later. After hanging up,

Zhang Chu told Ms. Chen that he needed to take a shower before going out for dinner. Upon hearing this, Ms. Chen immediately pressed Zhang Chu down, telling him not to move. She went to fill the tub with water, saying she would bathe him afterward. After saying this, Ms. Chen went naked to the bathroom to clean the bathtub and fill it with water. While the tub was filling, Ms. Chen returned and lay down next to Zhang Chu, touching his penis and smiling as she said, "Your penis is so magnificent." Zhang Chu smiled and gently touched Ms. Chen's breasts.

When the tub was almost full, Ms. Chen pulled Zhang Chu up and they went into the bathroom together. After Zhang Chu climbed into the tub and lay down, Ms. Chen began to wash him. While washing him, Ms. Chen asked Zhang Chu, "Does your wife bathe you?" Zhang Chu said, "Yes." Ms. Chen said, "You're quite lucky." Then she asked Zhang Chu, "Do you bathe your wife too?" Zhang Chu said, "My wife won't let me bathe her." Ms. Chen asked why, and Zhang Chu said, "My wife said my hands are too itchy on her, and she can't wash properly." After saying this, Zhang Chu rubbed his wet hands against Ms. Chen's body. Ms. Chen immediately curled up, saying it was incredibly itchy.

Zhang Chu felt somewhat pleased.

After a while, Ms. Chen told Zhang Chu to stand up. After Zhang Chu stood up, she applied some shower gel to his body and then washed him. Zhang Chu felt very comfortable as Ms. Chen's hands rubbed against his body.

Ms. Chen seemed to know that Zhang Chu was deriving pleasure from her hands, so she gently rubbed his sensitive areas even more tenderly.

After Zhang Chu finished washing and got out of the bathtub, Ms. Chen took a dry towel to dry him. She dried him a couple of times, then suddenly bent down and lightly kissed his penis. Zhang Chu was touched and pinched Ms. Chen's breast. After Zhang Chu was clean, Ms. Chen said she would take a shower and then go out for dinner.

It was almost nine o'clock when Zhang Chu and Ms. Chen went out for dinner. All the way there, Zhang Chu had been mentally planning how to call Shi Yun. When he called Shi Yun in Nanjing, they had agreed that he would call her as soon as he arrived in Wuxi. The more he walked, the more he felt he had to make that call now; he couldn't let Shi Yun feel uneasy or anxious waiting for his call. Just as Ms. Chen was about to enter the restaurant, Zhang Chu saw a card-operated phone booth on the side of the road and said to her, "You go in and sit down first, I'll make a call." Zhang Chu was clearly telling Ms. Chen that this was a very private call. Since Zhang Chu hadn't made the call in the room, Ms. Chen understood. Ms. Chen nodded, and Zhang Chu quickly walked to the phone booth to call Shi Yun.

When Zhang Chu returned, Ms. Chen was sitting at the table, not yet ordering. Zhang Chu called over a waitress and had Ms. Chen order two dishes first, then he ordered two dishes for himself. After ordering, Zhang Chu suddenly felt a bit cheated by the meal and thought he should call the municipal government to get the dinner arranged. He told Ms. Chen this, but Ms. Chen gave him a sidelong glance. Zhang Chu quickly placed his hand on Ms. Chen's hand and rubbed it, saying, "Anyway, you're leaving tomorrow, and I have to go back tomorrow afternoon."

Ms. Chen replied, "Do you think I really went on a business trip? I came here to chase after you."

Ms. Chen's words puzzled Zhang Chu. If he and Ms. Chen were both unmarried, it would be understandable. But why did she chase him all the way to Wuxi? Besides, Ms. Chen had a prominent family; was it just for a moment of pleasure? Thinking this, Zhang Chu couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Ms. Chen.

Seeing the doubt on Zhang Chu's face, Ms. Chen immediately smiled and said, "You must be overthinking it. I've heard many people at work gossiping behind your back that you're very flirtatious. Did you used to live in a single dormitory and have relationships with many girls?"

Zhang Chu quickly said, "Absolutely not, I wouldn't dare. My girlfriend keeps a very close eye on me. If there is one, you're the first."

Ms. Chen immediately retorted, "Don't lie to me! The first?" Zhang Chu insisted, "It's true, I'm not lying. I'm very good to my partner, and my partner is very good to me." Ms. Chen seemed unwilling to listen, saying, "Even if I am the first, remember, there can't be a second." After saying this, she affectionately rubbed Zhang Chu's chest a few times.

After dinner, they returned to their room around eleven o'clock. Zhang Chu turned on the TV and lay down on the bed to watch. Ms. Chen turned off the TV, lay down next to Zhang Chu, pulled open his bra, and began to caress his breasts. Zhang Chu then put his hands inside her breasts as well. After a few rubs, Zhang Chu suddenly laughed and said to Ms. Chen, "So plump." Ms. Chen smiled and said, "What are you saying? I mean, full-figured." Then she pressed her breasts against Zhang Chu's chest and said, "Bigger than your lover's, right?"

Zhang Chu couldn't help but laugh. The two leaned against each other intimately, talking. Zhang Chu was thinking about Shi Ming's call, and he became somewhat absent-minded while talking to Ms. Chen. But when Ms. Chen returned, she secretly placed the phone in mid-air, preventing outside calls from coming in. This continued until nearly midnight, without any calls coming in. Zhang Chu thought, "No calls are coming, Shi Ming won't call," and told Ms. Chen to go to sleep, as he had to deal with people tomorrow. Ms. Chen then took off all of Zhang Chu's clothes, hugged him, and stroked his body, teasing him.

Zhang Chu seemed genuinely tired, or perhaps because he was thinking about Shi Ming's call, because Ms. Chen's teasing went on for a long time without any response. After a while, Ms. Chen asked Zhang Chu to sit up against the headboard. She then shrank back down, burying her head between Zhang Chu's legs, and gently opened her mouth to bite him…

Zhang Chu was somewhat startled and tried to pull away. But Ms. Chen's sucking and kneading made Zhang Chu feel numb and tingling all over his body, making it impossible for him to resist. Slowly, Zhang Chu put his hands into Ms. Chen's hair, gently massaging her scalp in accordance with her sucking and kneading movements. Soon, Zhang Chu was completely limp beneath Ms. Chen. As Ms. Chen continued to suck, bite, and grind deeper, Zhang Chu pushed his penis deeper and deeper into her, the pleasure almost setting his body ablaze. Before long, Zhang Chu felt his penis was about to explode in Ms. Chen's mouth, and the pleasure he experienced at that moment seemed to plunge his body into an indescribable depth. He gripped Ms. Chen's hair tightly, growing tense. He tried to control himself, wanting to escape at the last moment before it exploded, to prevent it from exploding in Ms. Chen's mouth. But he seemed completely intoxicated by pleasure, even wanting to go mad. Just as his penis was about to explode, he suddenly grabbed Ms. Chen's hair and pulled it down forcefully, pressing her head tightly there... His body seemed to rush into a world of extreme pleasure, floating, vibrating, and convulsing there...

But Zhang Chu only stayed in that world for less than half a minute before he came to his senses. He felt ashamed of himself, feeling that he lacked self-control, that he was too focused on physical pleasure. But Ms. Chen remained on top of Zhang Chu, her head buried there, quietly holding it in her mouth, as if clinging to life, letting it throb and contract little by little, letting it calmly enjoy the post-orgasmic tranquility. And so it went, until Zhang Chu's penis completely retracted, before Ms. Chen rolled off the bed and rushed to the bathroom. Lying in bed, Zhang Chu, in a comfortable weariness, listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom. Suddenly, his heart sank, as if from a feeling of utter exhaustion, as if conquered by something…

Chapter Ten

. When Zhang Chu returned home, it was almost midnight. He had actually arrived in Nanjing around 8:00.

After getting off the train, he and Ms. Chen sat for a while on a lawn in Xuanwu Lake Park in front of the train station.

Ms. Chen boarded the train in Suzhou, while Zhang Chu boarded in Wuxi. They had arranged to meet on the same train and in the same carriage. On the train, Zhang Chu sat next to Ms. Chen, but she didn't dare to put her arm around him. Almost everyone in the carriage was going to Nanjing, and she was worried someone might recognize her. Zhang Chu sat by the window, his face turned towards the view. From the moment he boarded, he felt uneasy.

Zhang Chu wasn't someone who could easily indulge himself and remain composed; his romantic side was somewhat bookish. He could completely immerse himself in a situation at times, but afterwards, he would reflect on his actions. Shi Yun was everything to him—his love, his anchor, his life's destination—and he didn't want to lose it all.

He wanted to always be the most important person in Shi Yun's heart. Once, Shi Yun teased Zhang Chu, holding his hand in one hand and Zhang Chu's hand in the other, saying, "On one side is a big kid, on the other a little baby. In my heart, which one is cuter?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Chu retorted, "I'm cuter, aren't I? At least the baby can't talk yet, besides pooping and peeing everywhere. How could he be cuter than me?" Shi Yun immediately laughed and said, "Aren't you ashamed to be competing with the baby?"

Zhang Chu pretended to be angry and said, "Next time the baby poops and peees, I won't change his clothes. Let him suffer and see how cute he can be then." Shi Yun immediately burst into laughter, collapsing into Zhang Chu's arms. After laughing enough, she said to Zhang Chu with genuine emotion, "Still being petty? Of course, you're the most important! The baby grows up, his wings harden, and he'll fly far away, but you'll still be by my side, forever together, loving and caring for me for a lifetime. Don't you understand how important that is?"

At that moment, Zhang Chu leaned against the window, gazing at the green fields and river outside, and gradually felt a pang of shame.

He missed Shi Yun, missed his Chu Chu. As he thought about these things, many ordinary things welled up in his heart—the simple elements of life, even the color of the bed sheets, the decorations on the coffee table, the kind of small copper bell hanging on the door frame, and so on. He wanted to visit Shiyun and Chuchu in a few more days, to lie down in Shiyun's arms and have a good night's sleep.

But as the train approached Nanjing, Zhang Chu's heart turned to Shiming again; he knew she must be waiting for him at home.

He specially bought a basket of bayberries in Wuxi. Bayberries were a specialty of Taihu Lake, and Shiming loved to eat them. When Shiming ate bayberries, she liked to put the pits in Zhang Chu's palm after eating them, reluctant to throw them away immediately. Zhang Chu didn't know why Shiming did this; Shiming simply said she liked them, and Zhang Chu complied. After Shiming finished eating, she would open Zhang Chu's palm and count how many pits were left, one by one. Shiming looked especially happy while counting, seemingly happier than eating. Zhang Chu saw this and felt a warmth and sweetness in his heart.

Ms. Chen sat next to Zhang Chu and started by asking him questions, such as about his past romantic experiences and how he fell in love with Shi Yun. Zhang Chu then made up a story, saying that once in class, he pretended to be drunk, sat down next to Shi Yun, and suddenly hugged her, shouting, "Shi Yun, I love you so much!" He

intentionally made sure everyone in the classroom saw it, and Shi Yun accepted it. Ms. Chen believed him and said Zhang Chu was really bold. Zhang Chu said, "Haven't you heard of 'lust knows no bounds'?" Ms. Chen laughed and asked Zhang Chu to tell more about his story with Shi Yun. Zhang Chu said he was tired after running around all day. Ms. Chen said, "If you don't want to talk, then don't." Zhang Chu turned his face to the window, lost in his own thoughts. Sometimes Ms. Chen would quietly tug at Zhang Chu's hand or reach behind him and pinch him, looking all lovey-dovey. So after getting off the bus, Ms. Chen wanted to stay with Zhang Chu a little longer, but Zhang Chu wanted to go back immediately. He was thinking about Shi Ming waiting for him, and he didn't want her to get anxious waiting for him. In Zhang Chu's heart, Shi Ming played more than half the role of his wife, Shi Yun, especially when Shi Yun wasn't around; Shi Ming was synonymous with Shi Yun. But Zhang Chu didn't want Ms. Chen to notice anything, so he told her to sit in the park for a while. Zhang Chu said this because he was a little worried that Ms. Chen would want to go back with him.

By saying this, Zhang Chu was actually telling Ms. Chen that he didn't want to take her home. Of course, Ms. Chen didn't think that there was another woman waiting for Zhang Chu at home. She just thought of Zhang Chu's cautious nature and thought he was the kind of man who was afraid of trouble. Because of colleagues visiting each other's homes, some rumors spread like this.

There weren't many people in the park at night, and the lighting was dim. There was another couple sitting on the grass quite a distance away from where Ms. Chen and Zhang Chu sat, doing something that was unclear to them. So, Ms. Chen held Zhang Chu in her arms, her hands freely exploring his body, caressing and kneading him with a hint of desire and infatuation. After a while, she placed both hands on his genitals, playing with them with abandon. Zhang Chu was a little scared, feeling that he would become aroused by Ms. Chen's touch. He had to go back to see Shi Ming soon, and he needed to give her a clean slate. If he returned still weak and powerless, Shi Ming would definitely not let him off easily. In this respect, Zhang Chu felt that Shi Ming seemed even more formidable than Shi Yun.

Therefore, while being held in Ms. Chen's arms, Zhang Chu tried his best not to tease her sensitive areas. He pretended to be calm, only using gentleness in her embrace. When Ms. Chen teased his body, he tried his best to suppress his rising desire, leaning against her chest like a devoted lover. At this moment, Ms. Chen seemed quite satisfied with Zhang Chu's romantic yet not obscene style. When she touched Zhang Chu's body, it was more like soothing than provocation.

As they got up to leave, Ms. Chen couldn't help but whisper in Zhang Chu's ear, "I want to die." Zhang Chu understood Ms. Chen's feelings at that moment, so he put his hand under her skirt and gently rubbed it, offering some comfort. Unexpectedly, Ms. Chen's body immediately trembled. She bit Zhang Chu's shoulder hard, her legs tightly hooked around his waist, as if some force was demanding to be incinerated, completely unable to control herself. Zhang Chu could only keep his hand there, offering more substantial and gentle comfort, trying to calm her down. But Ms. Chen's body became even more restless. Zhang Chu hesitated for a moment, then slowly inserted two fingers together into Ms. Chen's body. Following Zhang Chu's movement, Ms. Chen bit his shoulder even tighter, as if she were about to spew something out, and pressed her hand against Zhang Chu's, urging him to push inward. Zhang Chu followed her force, pushing inward while his fingers swirled around inside. Ms. Chen's body gradually opened completely, eagerly devouring Zhang Chu's fingers…

When Zhang Chu released Ms. Chen, he felt he had reached a point where he could no longer control himself. After being suddenly released by Zhang Chu, Ms. Chen seemed unable to stop. She lay on top of Zhang Chu for a long time without moving. Finally, she reached down and grabbed at Zhang Chu's genitals a few times before standing up with him and walking out of the park. At the door, they hugged again before hailing taxis to go

home. Zhang Chu took out his keys and went inside. He turned on the light, but it didn't work. Looking out at the hallway, the lights were on, and Zhang Chu figured the fuse must have blown again. He closed the door and headed into the rooms. He went to the first room, pushed open the door, and felt his way to the bed, but no one was there. He backed out and went into the second room, but the door was locked. Zhang Chu knocked and called for Shi Ming to open the door. He called for a long time, but there was no response.

Zhang Chu thought Shi Ming must be inexplicably angry and unwilling to open the door. He stood at the door, pleading and apologizing. But after a while, there was still no sound from inside. Zhang Chu was puzzled. He thought, "Shi Ming might not have come, but why is the door locked?" Just then, he heard some noises in the living room, so he backed away from the doorway. Using the sliver of light coming in from the window, Zhang Chu could vaguely see a blurry shape on the sofa. He went over, touched it, and was startled to find Shi Ming lying there. Zhang Chu was a little angry and said, "Are you crazy? You scared me like that!" Shi Ming ignored him. He sat down next to her, leaning over her, and asked, "Shi Ming, what did I do to make you angry again?" Shi Ming suddenly jerked away, pushing Zhang Chu off the sofa and onto the floor, without saying a word.

Zhang Chu didn't know what Shi Ming was angry about, so he sat on the floor without getting up, saying, "Really, you don't welcome me back, and you treat me like this. What did I do to offend you again? I even brought back a basket of bayberries, hoping to please you, and this is how you treat me? If I had known this would happen, I would have thrown them on the road to the dogs."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ming sat up angrily, pointing her finger at Zhang Chu's nose, and said, "Where's your little lover? Why didn't you bring him back? And you brought bayberries instead? You're so kind! They're leftovers, probably rotten ones, to appease this naive, lowly woman who's clinging to you."

Zhang Chu was startled, his heart tightening, and he felt a little lost. He thought, Shi Ming must know about his relationship with Ms. Chen. He composed himself and asked Shi Ming cautiously, "What did you say?"

Shi Ming ignored him, preoccupied with her anger, and slumped onto the sofa, saying, "Stop pretending! Tell me honestly, what did you do in the hotel?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chu felt a little relieved, knowing that Shi Ming must be angry about something. He got up from the floor, sat down next to Shi Ming on the sofa, and said softly, "Darling, why are you abusing me without even asking why?" "I missed you so much! If you want to argue with me, go ahead. I just want to kiss you, as long as you don't get in my way." Zhang Chu said, reaching his hand into Shi Ming's arms to tease her.

Shi Ming's anger subsided somewhat after Zhang Chu's teasing, but she still reached out to stop him, demanding he honestly explain what happened last night. Zhang Chu ignored her resistance, his hands roaming freely over her body, leaving her unable to resist. Finally, Shi Ming sat up and questioned Zhang Chu about why he had put the phone down, preventing her from calling.

Zhang Chu sighed deeply and said, "I was going to ask you that when I got back. Why didn't you call me?

So, it must be because I didn't put the phone down properly when I called. Don't you think about it? Even if I'm stupid, I wouldn't do something so stupid. Doesn't that tell you I'm having an affair?"

Shi Ming thought about it and laughed, yelling at Zhang Chu, "I've been angry for a whole day and night! I'm just waiting for you to come back so I can skin you alive!"

After saying this, Shi Ming hugged Zhang Chu and kissed him twice.

Zhang Chu immediately pulled Shi Ming into his arms, his hands roaming over her body, saying, "You asked for it." Then he took off Shi Ming's clothes one by one, kissing her all over. After he'd had his fill, he picked her up and carried her into the room.

Shi Ming leaned against Zhang Chu, calling for him to wait, wanting him to flip the electrical safety switch. Zhang Chu chuckled and pinched Shi Ming's thigh, saying, "You're such a little viper, always trying to trick me. You scared me half to death just now." Shi Ming rubbed Zhang Chu's face, saying, "Hey, I've made it clear to you, a gentleman's word is his bond. If you don't behave yourself outside, I'll send you to hell." Zhang Chu immediately replied, "If you want to hit me, hit me into your heart!" Shi Ming said, "How many hearts do I have? If you hit me again, I'll kick you out!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chu felt a warmth in his heart. He carried Shi Ming to the safety switch by the door, flipped it, and the room instantly brightened.

After Zhang Chu carried Shi Ming to bed, Shi Ming helped him take off his clothes. When she touched Zhang Chu's erect penis, she flicked it with her finger and said, "Tell me, who are you thinking about today?" Zhang Chu laughed and tapped Shi Ming's genitals, saying, "Tell me, who do you want to go in today?" Shi Ming laughed too, responding to Zhang Chu's question, "Today I'm going to stuff you all in, let you die inside, so I won't have to worry about you going bad outside."

The next morning, on his way to work, Zhang Chu felt somewhat uneasy, unsure how to face Ms. Chen in her office. When he arrived at the government building, Zhang Chu was even a little afraid to go up, feeling somewhat ashamed. As he passed Ms. Chen's office door, he saw her wiping the table. Zhang Chu thought he would just quietly walk past without saying hello. But Ms. Chen seemed to have heard his footsteps, turning around just in time to see Zhang Chu passing by the door. Seeing that Ms. Chen had seen him, Zhang Chu quickly walked past like a thief. Zhang Chu entered the office and sat there for a long time, unsure of what to do. Xiao Wang, seeing Zhang Chu enter, greeted him, but Zhang Chu didn't hear him. Later, Xiao Wang walked to Zhang Chu's desk and asked how his trip to Wuxi went. Zhang Chu then snapped out of his reverie and quickly smiled and told him about Wuxi.

Zhang Chu got up and made himself a cup of tea. After making the tea, he sat down and thought for a moment, deciding he should go and greet Ms. Chen. With that thought, he got up and pretended to go to another office to get something. He deliberately slowed his pace as he passed Ms. Chen's office. When he saw Ms. Chen turn to look at him, Zhang Chu said, "Ms. Chen, you're back from Suzhou?" Ms. Chen replied, "I got back last night." Then, feigning interest, she asked Zhang Chu, "When did you get back?" Zhang Chu casually replied, "Yesterday afternoon." Xiao Xu happened to be in the office as well. Zhang Chu exchanged a few words with Ms. Chen and then went in to greet Xiao Xu. Xiao Xu, a graduate of a teacher's college, was a bit temperamental. She and Zhang Chu were never shy about their conversations and playful banter, especially when playing cards together at lunchtime. If Zhang Chu cheated, Xiao Xu would slap his hand or pinch his nose. Their colleagues often teased Zhang Chu about this.

When talking to Xiao Xu, Zhang Chu avoided looking at Ms. Chen, feeling somewhat stifled. Later, Xiao Xu asked Zhang Chu where he had been in Wuxi, and Zhang Chu took the opportunity to joke with her to ease his anxiety. Zhang Chu said he didn't know anything in Wuxi, and if she went there next time, he'd run errands for her and help her find her way. Xiao Xu asked if he really wanted to run errands. Zhang Chu replied that it was obvious, he'd been looking forward to it, but she had to massage his legs for him tonight. Xiao Xu said, "You're always thinking good things. Even if I massaged your legs, your wife would definitely interrupt it." Zhang Chu said, "How would my wife know if you don't tell her?" Heaven and earth may not know, only you and I know. Next time, it's settled, don't back out then. Xiao Xu picked up where Zhang Chu left off, but said, "Don't be so nonchalant. I'm going to Zhangjiagang on a business trip tomorrow, are you coming?" Zhang Chu, having let slip a little, thought Xiao Xu was joking and said, "Yes, whatever you need is what I need." Just as Zhang Chu finished speaking, Ms. Chen chimed in, saying to Zhang Chu, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Xu really wants to go. He was just saying he wanted someone to go with him. Don't go back on your word." Xiao Xu, unaware of Ms. Chen's implication, said, "I originally wanted him to come with me, but since he's so proactive, I should be even more considerate of his enthusiasm."

Hearing this, Zhang Chu realized he'd put himself in a difficult position. He smiled at Xiao Xu, turned to look at Ms. Chen, and smiled back. Seeing the smile on Zhang Chu's face, Ms. Chen said sarcastically, "Xiao Zhang seems quite happy, he's going to have a lot of fun in Zhangjiagang."

Zhang Chu didn't dare linger any longer and quickly slipped back to his office.
