Xiaoqi's Atonement

In a slightly upscale apartment building in the city center, a girl carrying a package entered the elevator. The white-haired building manager glanced at her, nodded, and said nothing. He recognized the girl; she was a friend of the resident on the seventh floor and often came to visit him. "

Youth is wonderful," he thought, then turned back to his newspaper.

Zhou Wenqi stood at the door and pressed the doorbell. She didn't want to come here at all, not even for a second. She had originally planned to leave her things at the door and leave, but today there were some things she had to say no matter what. She had to suppress her emotions. A short while later, a cheerful young man's voice came from inside.

"Coming! Is this Xiaoqi?" Opening the door, a young man a head taller than Wenqi smiled at her. This was Liu Zhe, her neighbor from her hometown, currently attending the same university as her.

"What brings you here today?" Liu Zhe's seemingly innocent face disgusted Wenqi. Her mother had just mentioned speaking to Liu Zhe on the phone last night; how could he not know she was coming to see him today?

There's a limit to playing dumb.

"Here, these are meat rolls my mom made. She told me to give them to you." If it weren't for the things her mother sent from home, Wenqi wouldn't have wanted to get close to this man at all. She shoved the things into his arms, then took a deep breath, preparing to tell him what was coming next.

"Liu Zhe, I have something to tell you, listen carefully."

"Wow, Zhou Ma's meat rolls! I love them the most! Xiaoqi, do you want some? Come in and have a cup of tea." The man looked happily at the contents of the package, turned, and walked into the house, ignoring Xiaoqi's calls.

Xiaoqi gritted her teeth, really not wanting to cross that door, but she had to make a clean break today. The man's frail figure was a little painful. She silently clenched her fists, made up her mind again, closed the door, and went inside.

"Zhou Ma's meat rolls are the best in the world!" The man quickly took out the meat rolls and sat in the living room, eating them with relish. After finishing, he even sucked his fingers in his mouth like a child, seemingly still wanting more.

"Liu Zhe, I have something to tell you, listen carefully."

"Hmm? What is it? Can you get me a glass of water first?"

Liu Zhe smiled at Xiao Qi, but his tone carried an unyielding command. Xiao Qi, who had been about to speak with great enthusiasm, had her momentum weakened considerably after being interrupted so many times, and she couldn't help but comply with his request as before.

Xiao Qi familiarly walked into the kitchen and found a glass. She knew this place well, having been in and out many times and often cooking there. She probably knew where some things were even better than Liu Zhe. Thinking about it carefully, she couldn't blame some people for misunderstanding her relationship with Liu Zhe, but they really weren't boyfriend and girlfriend.

While in the kitchen, she composed herself. She knew that man's methods and personality, and she was actually very afraid to say it, but she also knew she couldn't continue like this. She

took a deep breath, clenched her fists again, and made up her mind once more.

At this moment, the man's hand quietly reached up from behind her and grabbed her breast.

"I've been waiting for you for so long, I couldn't hold back anymore." Liu Zhe smiled from behind.

"No~" Xiaoqi protested verbally, but her body didn't resist, letting the man grope her. Liu Zhe's behavior became increasingly rude; one hand reached inside her clothes to grab her bra, while the other reached inside her pants to attack her private area. Xiaoqi felt disgusted but didn't resist. The familiar flirting reminded Wenqi of past pleasures, and her body went limp.

Seeing Wenqi's state, Liu Zhe quickly released her.

"Standing is too strenuous, let's come to the room." He commanded Xiaoqi in a commanding tone, then slowly left. Wenqi watched Liu Zhe's slowly moving back and seemed to give in, straightening her clothes before following him into the man's room.

Liu Zhe sat on the bed, waiting for Xiaoqi like an emperor.

"Come here." He beckoned to Xiao Qi outside the door with a smug smile. Xiao Qi gritted her teeth, went into the room, squatted down, and slowly unzipped Liu Zhe's pants, revealing his penis. She pushed her hair back, then opened her mouth and began to suck. Xiao Qi's delicate face was very beautiful, making Liu Zhe stare in a daze. Such a beauty constantly servicing his organ made him feel full of happiness, but unfortunately, Xiao Qi's face was not good. It was a face with a hint of anger and resentment.

The two silently enjoyed this lewd atmosphere until Liu Zhe ejaculated into Xiao Qi's mouth.

"Swallow it." He pressed Xiao Qi's head down to prevent her from pulling it out. Xiao Qi glared at him, but finally slowly swallowed it. Her

trembling throat showed that the woman had taken the man's semen down her throat. Only after confirming that Xiao Qi had swallowed it completely did Liu Zhe release her.

"Don't you feel it's a waste to put my hundreds of millions of children in your stomach?" Liu Zhe laughed.

Xiao Qi glared at the man, but she knew that this was just the man's teasing. If she resisted, there would be something even more violent coming.

"You look so cute when you're angry, come on." The man patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing

for the woman to sit down. Xiaoqi's expression grew increasingly displeased, her clenched fists practically ready to explode, but she ultimately held back and obediently sat on the bed. Liu Zhe unceremoniously pulled her close and kissed her, his tongue plunging deep into her mouth. He rolled over, pressing his body against Xiaoqi's, his hands wantonly caressing her skin, her erogenous zones, ignoring Xiaoqi's feeble resistance.

"Zhou Ma's meat rolls are delicious, but you're even better," Liu Zhe said, releasing her mouth and looking at Xiaoqi.

Slap! Having finally broken free from Liu Zhe's kiss, Xiaoqi slapped him hard across the face.

"Don't joke with me." Xiaoqi glared at Liu Zhe, burning with anger, but the man didn't back down. He grabbed her hand, licked it, then lowered his head and bit Xiaoqi's breast, his hand advancing towards her private area.

"Did I say something wrong? Look at this body, let me have a few more bites." "You trash! Scum!" "I just like your personality, curse me a few more times." "Pervert!"

"Hehehe, I am."

Xiao Qi angrily reached out and hit Liu Zhe hard, but Liu Zhe grabbed her hand, put both her hands on her head and held them down, then continued to play with her body. Originally she wanted to continue resisting, but when she saw the marks on the man's body, she went limp. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and let the man play with her.

But Liu Zhe didn't let her off so easily. He turned Xiao Qi over and raised her buttocks.

"Is today a safe period?"

"No!"

"I've been calculating, don't try to hide it from me. Don't you like this feeling the most?" "No way~ Ahhh~" Liu Zhe thrust hard into her from behind. He was right, this was the position that made Xiao Qi orgasm the easiest. Unprotected ejaculation inside her was also the sex that she felt the most. They had agreed not to get pregnant, so they usually used condoms. They only used this method when Xiao Qi was in her safe period.

Liu Zhe carefully pressed Xiao Qi into the sheets and deeply thrust his penis in. The lewd smile on his face disappeared, replaced by tenderness for his lover. But he couldn't let Xiao Qi see this face. The man gently kissed Xiao Qi's beautiful back and played with her slightly drooping breasts. He liked this way of playing with a woman, holding her body and watching her orgasm in his arms. It made him feel like he really possessed this woman for a while.

Although she didn't say it aloud, Xiaoqi actually liked this position. The man's embrace made her feel warm, even though he was such a hateful man. At this moment, he brought her tenderness. When they couldn't see each other, it was easy to forget everything about each other. The woman vigorously thrust her hips to meet the man's thrusts, simply enjoying the most primal carnal desire.

"So tight, Xiaoqi, your pussy is amazing."

"Shut up~ Ah~"

"Let me hear your pleas."

"Dream on~ Stop~ It's too deep."

"It's deep, isn't it?"

"Mmm~ Ahhh~"

"It's all yours~ I'm going to shoot deep inside you."

The man held Xiaoqi tightly, thrusting forcefully into her, several streams of heat surging into her body. This was the happiest moment for the woman in this relationship.

How exactly did this twisted relationship begin? Wenqi couldn't help but recall.

Liu Zhe was the son of a doctor, while Wenqi's family ran a small restaurant. Since the two families lived close by, and Liu Zhe's parents often patronized the restaurant, they became acquainted. At that time, Wenqi had a more assertive personality, while Liu Zhe was the opposite. They were close in age, and their parents knew each other well, which led Wenqi to often take him on adventures. Liu Zhe was timid and only dared to follow behind her.

After the two families became acquainted, they interacted more. Perhaps due to her childhood timidity, even as an adult, Wenqi was not very wary of him. Some of their interactions remained as intimate as when they were children, and neither set of parents paid much attention. By the time the two realized it, it was too late.

That was when Wenqi started getting involved with relationships. She and Liu Zhe didn't attend the same high school. Liu Zhe went to a private high school with a high college entrance rate because of his family connections, while she attended a regular high school in the county. During her rebellious and curious phase, she quickly made a group of new friends and often came home late at night. Her parents, busy with their booming business in those years, didn't pay much attention to her.

Like any other girl, she quickly got a boyfriend and had her first date. That day, she happened to run into Liu Zhe and the woman beside him.

Looking back, that was probably the first time she'd ever seen Liu Zhe with such a pale expression.

"Xiaoqi, who is this?"

"This is my incredibly perfect neighbor, Liu Zhe, whom I'm so proud of. He's amazing! He's the top student in K-1 high school, the captain of the school team, a heartthrob, and a ladies' man. Even my mom is a huge fan." "Wow, that's incredible! Isn't that a super prestigious high school? Liu Zhe? Could he be the MVP who recently won the national high school basketball championship? Wow!" The boy expressed his heartfelt admiration.

"Hey Liu Zhe, who's this? Your girlfriend? Introduce her." Wen Qi noticed Liu Zhe's strange expression but didn't pay it any mind, playfully nudging her childhood friend to tease him.

"I'm Liu Zhe's girlfriend, Mengmeng." The girl hugged Liu Zhe tightly, looking at Wen Qi with a hint of pride, which Wen Qi found a bit annoying. This woman was pretty, but she exuded an air of disdain. Judging from her clothes, she was probably some rich heiress.

She glanced at her old friend, thinking, "You really have bad taste. So you like this kind of thing, huh?"

"Um, Wen Qi, who is this?" Liu Zhe snapped out of his daze, his expression returning to normal, and asked with his signature smile.

"Oh~ This is my friend Shih-hao. We just went on a date today and are considering whether to upgrade him to boyfriend." "Wait, we've already seen a movie and had dinner, isn't that enough?" "Let me think about it for a few more days, enjoy being pursued. You men don't cherish what you have once you get it." "I'm not that kind of person. I'm always single-minded." The two flirted back and forth. Seeing that they were a couple, Mengmeng relaxed her guard a little. No one noticed that Liu Zhe's eyes were getting darker and his expression was getting stiffer. Just then, Wenqi's phone rang.

"Mom? I was having dinner with a friend. Um, I'm about to go back. What? I'm not messing around. I'm really not lying to you. I just ran into Liu Zhe. He can vouch for me. Do you want me to give it to him to make a call? Don't go to all that trouble." Xiaoqi handed the phone to Liu Zhe, making a pleading gesture, pointing to Shih-hao next to her, and putting her index finger to her lips. Liu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then nodded and took the phone.

"Hello, Aunt Zhou, this is Liu Zhe. Yes, I just ran into Xiao Qi on the street. She and her friend finished eating and were heading home. Her friend isn't anyone strange, no, definitely not her boyfriend, how could that be? I promise." Liu Zhe glanced thoughtfully at Xiao Qi. Xiao Qi didn't want her mother to ask too many questions about Shi Hao yet, so she breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thanked her good friend for covering for her. Just then, Liu Zhe continued talking to his mother.

"Okay, I'll take her home right away. Don't worry, with me here, I won't let her run around. Okay." Xiao Qi was startled when she heard this. She had planned to go for a walk in the park with Shi Hao, but Liu Zhe agreed so readily. Just as she was about to grab the phone, Liu Zhe swiped the phone.

"She asked me to take you home."

"Are you an idiot? Why did you agree so easily!" Xiao Qi was so angry that she jumped up and down. Liu Zhe just shrugged his shoulders to show his innocence.

"It's Aunt Zhou's order."

"Ugh, oh well, Shih-hao, let's call it a day." "Since it's Aunt Zhou's order, we have to do it this way. Xiao-qi, see you at school tomorrow." "Okay." "That's it. Sorry, Meng-meng, I have to take her home first." Liu Zhe said to the woman beside him.

"That's it? So when is our next date...?"

"Sorry, you might have to go home first, we'll talk about it later." Liu Zhe said this casually. Perhaps it was the weather, but Meng-meng suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, as if something was wrong. Just as she was about to ask Liu Zhe to take her home, she saw the icy gaze in the corner of his eye.

It was an extremely cold look, clearly telling her to shut up. This was a side of Liu Zhe she had never seen before, and she was so frightened that she could only choke on her words.

Liu Zhe nimbly moved his body between Shih-hao, who was trying to talk to Wen-qi again, and nudged Xiao-qi. Shih-hao felt a strange aura emanating from Liu Zhe, as if warning others not to approach.

"Let's go, Zhou Ma will scold us if we stay any longer, and I won't stand up for you then." "Okay, okay, then Shihao, Mengmeng, sorry, we'll be going now." Although she didn't have a good first impression of Mengmeng, Wenqi still said goodbye to the two of them with great enthusiasm out of politeness.

"Okay, we'll be going now." At this moment, Liu Zhe had already returned to his original gentle expression and feeling. The quick change made Mengmeng and Shihao think that they had just been overthinking things.

"Bye."

"Then goodbye Liu Zhe, remember to call me." However, Liu Zhe did not respond.

On the way home, the two of them kept trying to find topics to chat with Liu Zhe, but Liu Zhe only answered half-heartedly. Today, Liu Zhe was really indifferent, she thought.

At this moment, the man finally spoke.

"When did you start dating?"

"What?... Oh, you mean Shihao? Recently." Xiaoqi rarely showed an embarrassed look. "We met in the club. He's a good person and has helped me a lot." "That man is no good. Don't be with him." Seeing Xiaoqi's expression, Liu Zhe's eyes grew even colder.

"What?"

"I said don't be with him."

"Hey, Liu Zhe, you don't even know him well, why are you commenting like that?" "He's not good enough." "You know that? That's ridiculous." "I just know, he's not right for you, break up with him."

"Are you crazy? He may not be as good as you, but he's on our school's team, his grades aren't bad, his family owns a company, and they're richer than mine." "So what? He's not good enough, leave him, he's not the man you want, he's completely unsuitable for you." "Even though we're close, I'm going to get angry if you keep talking about my friend like that, Liu Zhe." Xiao Qi was a little annoyed by Liu Zhe's strange attitude, and her tone gradually rose, but then she suddenly thought that he might just be worried about her. After all, he came from a wealthy family, saw a lot, and had high standards. Compared to him, Shi Hao was indeed not that great. When they were young, he often worried about her for no reason.

" Oh, I see. My good buddy's worries.

" "Hey, you're not worried I'll get scammed or something, are you? Don't worry, I'm not as smart as you, but I can still judge people. Shih-hao is a great catch." After figuring it out, Xiao-qi patted Liu-zhe's back hard, her mood improving, but Liu-zhe still looked gloomy.

"Break up with him."

Xiao-qi started to notice the strange atmosphere and realized something seemed off, so she tried to ease the tension with a joke.

"Calm down. Think about it, with my family's situation, I might even be the one marrying above my station. You should bless me, otherwise how would I ever have the chance to meet such a good man, haha." "I—" "What?" "Choose me."

"Hey? Calm down." The unexpected confession left Xiao-qi a little confused, but Liu-zhe ignored the stares of the passersby and grabbed her hand.

"I'm the right man for you."

"Wait, someone's watching."

"I don't care."

"But I do care! Let go!" Liu Zhe finally released Xiao Qi, but still stared straight at her. The surrounding crowd turned to look at them.

"Are you two arguing?"

"They make up quickly."

The chatter was getting to Xiao Qi, and she grabbed Liu Zhe's hand, quickly heading to a secluded corner.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Qi blurted out after they reached the corner.

"I like you. Be my girlfriend."

"Liu Zhe, are you an idiot? Why did you suddenly say that?"

"I'm serious."

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" "

I'm breaking up

with her tomorrow. It's just for fun anyway." "If it's just for fun, why date her? That's trash." "Because she looks like you." The sudden confession left Xiao Qi speechless. Looks like me?

"She looks like you and just happened to be bothering me, so I tried dating her, but apart from her face, we're so different." Liu Zhe turned to look into the distance, then back at Xiao Qi.

"Zhou Wenqi, it can only be you, no one else will do."

Xiao Qi remained silent for a long time, unsure how to respond. Today was the first time she realized how her childhood sweetheart saw her. Only then did she notice the difference in Liu Zhe's gaze compared to her memories. It wasn't the look of someone looking at a neighbor; it was the look a man gives a woman.

"Did you kiss him? That Shihao?"

"No, no." Xiao Qi answered instinctively, only to see Liu Zhe smile. He grabbed Xiao Qi's face and kissed her.

"Ugh, what are you doing?" Wenqi was initially shocked, then slapped him. Liu Zhe's sudden action made her feel extremely sad.

"You bastard, this is my first kiss!"

"Isn't that great? I don't want your first kiss to be taken by another man." Xiao Qi turned and slapped him again.

"You scumbag, I'd rather die than be with you." She then ran home without looking back.

Confused and disoriented, Xiaoqi argued with her mother after returning home, but Zhou's mother assumed she was just upset about being called back and didn't pursue the matter further. In the following days, Xiaoqi deliberately avoided Liu Zhe, feeling guilty about having her first kiss stolen by him and confused by her childhood sweetheart's confession. Her relationship with Shihao also temporarily stalled. Shihao, unsure why Xiaoqi's attitude had suddenly changed, could only let her trouble herself.

That day at dinner, Zhou's mother suddenly brought up the Liu family next door.

"I heard Liu Zhe has been locked in his room these past few days."

"Oh, what happened to that kid? Did he lose the competition? Didn't he just win the national championship?" Zhou's father asked casually.

"Yu Ru said he broke up with his girlfriend, and the other person seems to be some rich heiress." "That kid is exaggerating. With his good qualities, why would he have trouble finding a woman?" "Yeah, Yu Ru also advised her son the same thing, but it seems he won't listen. He said he was rejected by the person he deeply loves." "If no one wants him, why don't we let Wen Qi pick him up and match him with someone? We're already so familiar with each other, haha." "Don't joke around." Wen Qi, who was eating, suddenly looked unhappy.

"Oh, why are you taking it so seriously? You might not even be interested in her. She's the only son of a big hospital doctor, and we're just a small restaurant. We can't possibly be that good enough for her." Seeing his daughter's expression change, Mr. Zhou quickly laughed it off. Little did he know that his daughter was thinking something else entirely.

"Yes, our business has received a lot of help from the Liu family hospital, we can't let them down again." "Why do you talk like my daughter is a glutton? She's got curves, she's got some looks." *Bang!* "I'm full." Xiaoqi slammed down her chopsticks and left the table with a displeased look.

"It's all because you like to make those kinds of jokes that made our daughter angry."

"She usually doesn't care about these kinds of jokes, who knows what's wrong with her today, is she on her period?" After dinner, Zhou's mother called Xiaoqi down and handed her a package.

"Liu Zhe loves my meat rolls the most. Yu Ru said her son hasn't been eating much these past few days and she's worried he'll go hungry, so she called and asked me to make some. Could you take them over for me?" "Me?" "Is it inconvenient for you?"

"But..."

"Oh, Xiao Qi, you're going to the Liu family's house? Then please take this to Dean Liu as well. He said it's his cycling schedule for Sunday." Zhou's father and Liu's father are cycling buddies and often go cycling together with their team on weekends. With her parents directly assigning her this task, Xiao Qi had no choice but to accept the trip to the Liu family's house.

The Liu family's house was less than five minutes away from hers. Opening the door to greet her was Liu Zhe's mother, Yu Ru.

"Isn't this Xiaoqi? Welcome." "

Hello, Aunt Liu. These are meat rolls my mom made. She asked me to bring them over. Is Dad Liu home? My dad asked me to get his schedule for Sunday." "He's taking a shower inside. Come in and sit down." "No, no need to trouble yourself." "

It's alright, come in and sit down. It's been a while since we've seen you. It'll be good for Dad Liu and me to see you and maybe give my silly son Liu Zhe some advice." Hearing Liu Zhe's name, Xiaoqi's heart skipped a beat. Then, Yu Ru pulled her into the house.

"How's Liu Zhe?"

"He doesn't want to go to class and is always brooding. I've always thought that girl doesn't seem like much, but it's my son's choice, so I haven't really said anything. Sigh." Yu Ru sighed, arms crossed, then grabbed Xiaoqi's hand.

"If only you were here. You definitely wouldn't have made Liu Zhe so sad." "Aunt Liu, you're joking." Xiaoqi quickly let go, flustered.

"Aunt Liu isn't joking, I quite like you. A girl as good as you is rare these days." "You're making me blush, Aunt Liu." "I was thinking that my silly son seems to have a crush on you, and I was quite happy about it, but who knew he'd run off with some rich girl." Yu Ru said somewhat seriously. "I should have just put you two together first." "No, don't say that." "Yu Ru, what nonsense are you spouting about that girl's daughter? It's so unseemly." At this moment, Director Liu had just finished showering and came out. "

Hello, Father Liu."

"Xiao Qi, sit down, don't be shy, make yourself at home."

"Thank you."

"You should also consider whether that girl's daughter even likes our son. What era are we living in? Do you still have to listen to us?" After sitting down, Director Liu continued to grumble about his wife.

"I'm only thinking of your son's best interests. Why let a girl like Xiaoqi go and get involved with that kind of woman?

Have you forgotten the woman we saw outside? She looked so proud." "Children have their own choices when it comes to relationships, why should parents interfere?" "Yes, our enlightened Dean Liu, who studied abroad, isn't worried, but I, a traditional, ignorant countrywoman, am worried, okay?" "You're saying that in front of Xiaoqi, how awful! I'm sorry, Xiaoqi, you must be embarrassed." "No, haha, Dad Liu, Mom Liu, you're too kind, I... I'm not that good." Xiaoqi shrank back a little on the sofa, looking embarrassed.

Dean Liu and Yuru looked at each other and spoke gently to Xiaoqi.

"Xiaoqi, I'm not joking, we've known you since you were little, we know you best. Although there was a bit of a joke just now, I really mean it when I say I like you." "Aunt Liu..." "You need to have confidence in yourself. Or are you worried about your status or your finances? Don't worry, Dad Liu and I aren't like that. I really like you." Seeing Yu Ru's sincere attitude, Xiaoqi didn't know how to react for a moment. Dean Liu spoke up at the right time to smooth things over.

"Uh, is that the Zhou family's meat roll on that table over there? I think Xiaoqi, could you take it up to Liu Zhe? He hasn't been eating much these past few days." "Right, right, I almost forgot. Xiaoqi, could you go up and check on that silly son of mine, and maybe have a chat with him to see if he'll be more open-minded?" "But I..." "You two have been playing together since childhood, and you're close in age, so he'll listen to you more. Consider it a favor from your mother, you don't want to see him just staying at home all the time, do you?" "Yes, young people should date young people. Go ahead." Director Liu handed the meat roll to Xiaoqi at the opportune moment, and Xiaoqi had no choice but to take it and get up to go upstairs.

After seeing Xiaoqi go upstairs, Director Liu couldn't help but frown at Yu Ru.

"Look at you, you scared him."

"I'll try my best to find a good wife, it's none of your business."

"Then why don't you tell your son to work harder, open his eyes, why not chase after good girls instead of that kind of guy?" Director Liu rolled her eyes in annoyance.

Xiaoqi carried her things upstairs. She knew the Liu family's place well and quickly arrived at Liu Zhe's room. After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to knock.

"Mom, I don't want to eat yet. I'll make myself something to eat later if I get hungry." "...Liu Zhe, it's me." A series of clattering sounds came from inside, and the door was quickly opened.

"Xiaoqi!"

"My mom made your favorite meat rolls and asked me to bring them. Eat up. I heard you haven't been eating much lately." Liu Zhe looked noticeably thinner, and his hair was messy.

"Ah, thank you. Um...would you like to come in and sit down?"

Xiaoqi hesitated for a long time. Before, going to Liu Zhe's room was as easy as walking around her own room. She even knew exactly where Liu Zhe kept his secret riddle books. But now she hesitated.

Liu Zhe seemed to notice Xiaoqi's hesitation and understood her meaning. He could only smile wryly.

"I'll eat by myself. It's okay."

"Come in and eat." Xiaoqi pushed Liu Zhe into the room, determined not to look so strange.

The familiar room, the familiar bed, the familiar smell and the familiar people, but the atmosphere was completely different from before. The man's confession that day had completely changed her feelings for the two of them. Liu Zhe silently ate his meat roll, staring blankly at Xiao Qi without saying a word. The two remained silent until Xiao Qi spoke first.

"I heard from Liu's mother that you broke up with Mengmeng and are hiding at home to heal? How useless." She tried to speak in the same light tone as before.

"Yes, I am healing, but not because of breaking up with Mengmeng." Liu Zhe stared straight at Xiao Qi.

"Then it's not just one. This won't do. If a man is too fickle..." "It's because of you, Xiao Qi." "..." Sensing the change in atmosphere, Xiao Qi, who was about to change the subject, was directly hit with a question by Liu Zhe. The two fell silent again, and this time Liu Zhe spoke first.

"I like you, Xiao Qi."

"You...you suddenly said that to me..."

"I'm sorry about what happened that day, but I'm serious."

"Don't say that. I...I didn't think that way. I thought we were friends." "Just friends?" Liu Zhe smiled bitterly.

"Liu Zhe, don't be like this."

"Xiao Qi, honestly, have you ever considered me?"

"I..."

Since childhood, Liu Zhe had always followed her around, playing with her. To her, he was like a little brother. She had never considered such things. Later, after they went to different schools, their social circles changed, and they spent less time together. She had heard that Liu Zhe had several girlfriends, but at that time, she was still clueless about such things. She just thought that it was normal for Liu Zhe, with his good qualities, to have girlfriends.

"I don't know..."

"It's not too late to start now."

"Why me? Liu Zhe, can't we continue to be good friends?" "Good friends? What kind of good friends?" "Can't we just play and chat like before?" "And watch you flirt with other men?" Liu Zhe sneered. "I don't want to." "But I really don't have feelings for you." "Is it because I'm too close to you that you can't see clearly?" "No, it's not like that." "

Then what is it? Why can't I?"

"I..." Xiao Qi looked distressed. "I don't know."

"Xiaoqi, let's date."

"I've already broken up with Shihao.

" "Break up with him."

"I can't just break up like you."

"It'll be too late when you realize it like I did."

Liu Zhe sighed deeply.

"At first, I thought being friends was fine, so I never dared to say anything. Later, I tried dating a few girlfriends, but none of them worked out. It wasn't until I saw another man with you that I realized I couldn't accept it at all." "Xiaoqi, let's date, okay?" "I really haven't thought about this at all." "Give me a chance, okay?"

"Don't do this, Liu Zhe."

Liu Zhe stood up and grabbed Xiaoqi's hand.

"I'm serious."

"Let go!"

"Xiaoqi!"

"I told you to let go!!" In a moment of panic, Xiaoqi shook off Liu Zhe and slapped him again.

"I never knew you were so fierce. Lately, you've been slapping me like this quite often." Liu Zhe touched his face and smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, I...I have to go now, goodbye."

"Xiaoqi! Wait! I'm not blaming you."

Xiaoqi hurriedly opened the door and rushed out. The two elderly people downstairs only saw Xiaoqi rushing down with red eyes, completely unaware of what had happened.

"Xiaoqi? What happened?"

"Dad Liu, Mom Liu, I have to leave now, sorry to bother you."

"What's wrong?"

"Xiaoqi!" Her son rushed downstairs, a clear handprint on his face. Xiaoqi opened the door and ran out without looking back, leaving everyone in the living room in an awkward silence.

"..."

"You unfilial son, what did you do to her?!" Dean Liu asked angrily. "I...I just..." Liu Zhe was about to tell his parents his feelings, but suddenly a thought occurred to him. The two families had a good relationship, and if he rashly let the elders on both sides know about this, it might cause more trouble. Xiao Qi was in a bad mood, and if things were handled poorly, it would backfire, which was probably the last thing Xiao Qi wanted.

"No, I just said a few words."

"You wouldn't take it out on Xiao Qi, would you?" Yu Ru looked at her son coldly. "She was just trying to persuade you out of kindness. Don't you think you went too far?" Yu Ru knew her son's temper well. He wouldn't actually lay a hand on Xiao Qi at home; he must have angered her with his words.

"Mom, I didn't do that."

"You bastard, how could you treat Xiao Qi like this? How could you face Uncle Zhou? How could I have given birth to a son like you?" Dean Liu angrily scolded his son, and Liu Zhe, unable to defend himself, could only go along with it.

"Dad, I'm okay, it was my fault." Fine, let's leave it at that for now. I'll talk to Xiaoqi first, then slowly clear up the misunderstanding with my parents.

"You'd better find some time to apologize to them! Otherwise, don't come back into this house!" "Honey, don't be angry, Liu Zhe. Go eat, go to sleep, and be a good boy at school tomorrow. You've been home long enough, haven't you?" "...Okay, Mom." Liu Zhe could only lower his head and accept it.

Although she was unhappy with her son's behavior, she still felt sorry for him. Seeing that he was finally willing to come out made her feel much more at ease. Yu Ru gently slapped Liu Zhe a few times and then quickly coaxed him to have a good meal.

"I'll go to the Zhou family to apologize first, and then I'll go with you to apologize to them in a few days." After Xiaoqi returned home, she rushed back to her room. Zhou's parents were stunned. Soon after, Yu Ru brought some snacks to the Zhou family to apologize, and only then did they understand what had happened.

"Mrs. Zhou, I'm so sorry, my Liu Zhe said a few harsh words and made Xiao Qi cry." "Yu Ru, you're too kind. It's nothing new for two kids to bicker. Come, come, sit down, don't be shy." The elders downstairs started chatting, but Xiao Qi upstairs was thinking about something else entirely. She was saddened because she realized that her relationship with Liu Zhe might not be the same anymore, but she didn't know how to respond to him. Wen Qi had never thought about having that kind of relationship with Liu Zhe. They had known each other since childhood and were almost like family, but now she could clearly sense from Liu Zhe's words that this wasn't what he wanted.

She had never considered Liu Zhe as a romantic partner. Xiao Qi was a very sensible girl and was well aware of her own situation and her family's circumstances. The Liu family was only familiar with each other because they lived nearby, but essentially they were from different social classes. It was already fortunate that her parents and Liu Zhe could be friends; she didn't fantasize about anyone else having a further relationship with him.

Although Xiaoqi had a wide circle of friends, she had only recently begun to understand matters of the heart. Shih-hao was the first boy she felt even slightly attracted to. It wasn't a passionate, sweet romance, but she wanted to give it a try. Although Shih-hao was experienced in clubs and observant, they were both beginners in love, still just getting to know each other. So, they were completely clueless about these things. Liu Zhe's sudden confession really shocked her. "Are people who have been in many relationships this direct?" she wondered.

Frustrated, she buried herself under the covers, constantly worrying, and eventually drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Xiaoqi woke up, picked up her phone, and saw it was full of messages from Liu Zhe. Her phone also showed many missed calls from a few hours ago.

At that moment, she vaguely heard someone calling her outside the window.

"Zhou Wenqi~~"

She quickly got up and opened the window, only to see Liu Zhe standing hunched over outside her door.

"Are you crazy?!"

"Lucky~ I'm really awake."

"I'm going to sleep, you go back."

"Come down, I'll just say a few words and then go back."

"We'll talk tomorrow."

"Now."

Unable to resist Liu Zhe's request, Xiao Qi had no choice but to put on her coat and come downstairs. It turned out that Liu Zhe couldn't sleep, so he went out for some fresh air and thought he might try his luck at the Zhou family's place. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi woke up and heard him calling, making Liu Zhe exclaim that heaven was really good to him.

Liu Zhe suggested going for a walk in the nearby park, and the two of them walked on the quiet streets late at night.

"Xiaoqi, I'm not asking you to make a decision right now, but please think about it, okay?" "Liu Zhe, can't we just go back to how things were before? Haven't we been like this since we were little?" "Impossible, I can't do it." "Please, there are plenty of girls better than me." "What are you afraid of? Xiaoqi, I like you, my parents like you, and Uncle Zhou and the others are very good to me, aren't they?" "But I really never thought about doing this." "It's not too late to start now."

"These things can't be forced."

"You don't even dare to try, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid."

"I understand, you're afraid that if our relationship changes, the relationships between both sides will change too, right?" "No." "You are! You're that kind of person." Liu Zhe smiled bitterly. "Similar to me." "You've mistaken me for someone else." Xiaoqi turned her head away in denial.

"I'm just stating the facts." Liu Zhe continued. "I was worried before, but after seeing you standing with someone else, I finally understand that some things you have to fight for yourself, even if it changes the status quo." "Don't be so selfish!" "Why can't I be selfish!" "Didn't you consider the relationship between Liu's father and my father?"

"See, it's true."

"I was just going along with what you said!"

"So what? The point is you and me."

"I don't have those feelings for you! That's how it is now, and that's how it will be in the future." "You're lying!" "Don't flatter yourself, Liu Zhe!" Xiao Qi sneered. "Besides, someone like you doesn't need to chase after the daughter of a small restaurant owner. With your qualities, even without Mengmeng, you still have plenty of other options, don't you?" "Are you serious, Xiao Qi? Do you really think I'm that kind of person? Or is my family that kind of person?" Liu Zhe was getting angry.

"So what if it is? That's reality. Don't bother me. This isn't a romance novel; I know my limits." "I don't care." "But I do care!" "Xiao Qi!" Liu Zhe grabbed Xiao Qi's hand, trying to make her look at him, but she forcefully shook him off.

"I've said my piece. I'm really not interested anymore. That's enough for today. If you want to continue, you'd better be prepared to lose even our friendship." Xiao Qi suppressed her chaotic thoughts and forced herself to say this declaration.

"Are you serious, Xiao Qi?"

"Yes, if you want to play dating games, don't choose someone like me."

"...I understand. I won't force you anymore. At least we can still be friends." "Then let's be the same as before tomorrow morning." "Okay." Seeing Liu Zhe give up, Xiao Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't know that feelings couldn't be that simple. "Go back to sleep; it's a bit cold outside in the middle of the night." Xiao Qi took Liu Zhe's hand, wanting to lead him home.

"I want to get some fresh air. You should go back first."

"Liu Zhe,"

Liu Zhe pushed away Xiao Qi's outstretched hand and sat down on a stone bench nearby.

"Let's go."

Xiao Qi had waited for a long time, but finally gritted her teeth and forced herself to leave. She never expected that she would regret this decision so much later.

On the way back, Xiaoqi kept questioning her feelings for Liu Zhe, but she really didn't know. Everything was too sudden. Why did life suddenly jump so fast? She wanted to carefully consider the strange feeling that flashed through her mind, but she was also afraid that her persistence would change. She quickened her pace and rushed back to her room to sleep before her family noticed, secretly hoping that when she woke up, everything would be as simple as it was before.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, her mother told her some terrible news.

Liu Zhe was wandering the road in the middle of the night when he was hit by a drunk driver and was in critical condition.

"How could this happen?"

"Yu Ru said that her son didn't know why he ran out in the middle of the night, and unfortunately, he was hit by two drunk drivers. He is currently undergoing surgery." "Your mother and I are going to the hospital later. I think you should stay home today. I'll ask for leave from school for you." Mr. Zhou said, looking at his panicked daughter.

"Liu Liuzhe... I... I'll go to the hospital with you, take me there!"

"Calm down, Dean Liu is doing his best to save him, our panic won't help." "Take me there!!" Xiaoqi shouted.

Seeing their daughter's state, the Zhou couple had no choice but to take her to the hospital. Upon arriving, they saw Dean Liu and Yuru praying outside the operating room.

"Old Liu, how is he now?"

"Old Zhou, I... I don't know, I really don't know, I shouldn't have cursed him, I shouldn't have cursed him." This was the first time Xiaoqi had seen the usually composed Uncle Liu so distraught. Yuru beside her was also constantly praying, muttering Buddhist scriptures, the Diamond Sutra, and the Bible countless times.

At this moment, the operating room door opened, and a group of people rushed forward to inquire.

"Director Tang, my son, my son's life was saved?" Dean Liu excitedly grabbed the doctor's hand.

"Director, don't worry, your son is out of danger, but..." Director Tang looked at everyone and sighed. "Let's talk in private." Liu Zhe lay in his VIP room at his family's hospital, looking out the window, recalling what had happened. That night, after watching Xiao Qi leave, he sorted out his feelings. He wasn't an unintelligent person. Looking back on the past few days, perhaps he had been too sudden with her, and Xiao Qi's reaction was understandable. Things should have been done gradually. Now that he was certain of his feelings for Xiao Qi, he just needed to pursue her slowly. He believed he held a significant place in Xiao Qi's heart, and he was confident that he wouldn't lose to other men in terms of qualifications.

After clearing his thoughts, he was also thirsty. He reached into his pocket for some cash, intending to buy a drink at a convenience store on the street. Just as he was about to enter the store, he suddenly heard a horn blare, and then he lost consciousness. When he finally woke up, he found himself in his own family's hospital.

"Young Master's life is not in danger. Most of the scars can be removed with cosmetic surgery after he recovers. However, he has damaged nerves and bones, so he may not be able to participate in sports or similar activities in the future." "You mean he can't play basketball anymore?" "To be honest, he will have difficulty walking and standing for long periods. It's a miracle he's not in a wheelchair. As for the surgeon you hoped he would become, that's practically impossible, and it's a bit embarrassing to talk about. Young Master's genitals may also be damaged, so his fertility is still a question." "Oh my god!" Yu Ru fainted upon hearing this. Dean Liu remained calm, barely managing a sigh of relief.

"Staying alive is the most important thing. We'll talk about that later." But he couldn't hide the dejected look on his face. The Zhou couple, unsure how to comfort the Liu family, could only silently stay by their side.

A week later, Liu Zhe finally stabilized. After hearing the doctor's description of his injuries, he was surprisingly calm. Basketball was a pity, and it wasn't that serious. After all, it wasn't his ambition. If he couldn't go to surgery, he would switch to internal medicine. Initially, he had only set this goal temporarily, following his father's lead. But now that he was like this, pursuing Xiao Qi was a bit troublesome. Hearing that there might be a possibility of erectile dysfunction made him both laugh and cry. Not to brag, but he was somewhat confident in his abilities.

But what he cared about most was that his parents and Uncle Zhou had been visiting him frequently, and friends and classmates had been coming in droves, but he had never seen Xiao Qi. He had inquired about it, and she hadn't even come while he was unconscious. So he asked his mother and found out what had happened.

"That child fell seriously ill after hearing about your injuries and has been hiding at home ever since." "Is she alright?" "How dare you ask her that? Why did you run out that day? Xiaoqi keeps blaming herself for hurting you." "It has nothing to do with her, Mom. I just wanted to go to the convenience store to buy some drinks to clear my head in the middle of the night." "Xiaoqi now thinks that she went to see you that night, upset you, and that's why you went out in the middle of the night." "It really has nothing to do with her, Mom. Please don't blame her, Mom and Dad." Liu Zhe hurriedly got up to explain.

"I know, don't worry. Your dad and I watched her grow up, don't we understand? But can she think like that? You have no idea how guilty Zhou's parents have felt seeing us like this lately." "Then go talk to her, go talk to Xiaoqi." "We've tried to persuade you, but it's no use. Do you think it'll work?" "Why is everyone so self-centered and unwilling to listen to others?" "What are you talking about?" "Never mind, it's nothing. You guys go and tell Xiaoqi quickly. This has nothing to do with her. Please, go quickly, I'm fine." Yu Ru sensitively noticed her son's tone and asked seriously,

"Liu Zhe, Mom is asking you, do you like Xiaoqi?"

"Yes, I like her." Liu Zhe answered honestly.

"What about those girls who looked so pretty before?" "I didn't dare confess to Xiaoqi, so I tried to find someone who looked a lot like her." "...How could I have such a stupid son? Okay, answer me honestly, is your accident really related to Xiaoqi? Tell me the truth, Mom won't blame Xiaoqi." "No, definitely not. I'll say it again, it was an accident." Liu Zhe thought this wasn't a lie. He really wanted to go for a walk that day, after all, he was bored staying at home for several days. But then he thought, if they found out, they would definitely blame Xiaoqi. After all, he went to the park and convenience store a little further away because he saw Xiaoqi, and then the car accident happened. From what he knew, even if his own parents didn't blame her, the Zhou family would definitely feel very guilty.

Yu Ru looked into her son's eyes, confirmed it again, and finally, she felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.

"Mom, what are you thinking? What will you do if it's related to Xiaoqi?" Liu Zhe sensitively noticed the complex emotions in his mother's eyes, and his tone unconsciously rose.

"I don't know. I really like Xiaoqi, but I don't know how you ended up like this. It's good that it has nothing to do with her. Xiaoqi is a good girl." "It really has nothing to do with her. I hope you can tell her that too." "Okay, you should rest first. I'll go find your dad." "I will." Yu Ru closed the door and left, not noticing a small figure hiding there. Xiaoqi was hesitating whether to go in or not. Seeing Yu Ru come out made her back down. She really didn't dare to face Liu Zhe. She had been hiding at the door for several days, but she just didn't dare to go in.

Although no one noticed, Xiaoqi knew perfectly well that Liu Zhe had been in a car accident not long after she left. It was all her fault. If she had insisted on taking him back then, or hadn't been so harsh, Liu Zhe might not have run away, or she shouldn't have gone to the park with him, or she shouldn't have gone downstairs to meet him at all—so many possibilities could have prevented it. The ever-present guilt kept reminding her that Liu Zhe's condition was all her fault. She kept saying she didn't want to ruin the relationship, but she never expected to become the one who did it. And now everyone was comforting her, telling her not to be sad.

She was terrified, terrified to face Liu Zhe, terrified to face the truth. What if Liu Zhe blamed her?

"What are you doing here? Murderer." At this moment, a cold female voice came from behind her. Xiaoqi turned around in surprise. She remembered that arrogant face, remembered that her name was Mengmeng.

"You're the one who caused Liu Zhe to become like this, aren't you? What, are you afraid to go in?" "W-what did you say?" Xiaoqi trembled a little.

"Am I wrong? Liu Zhe's accident happened because you hid at home." "No, it wasn't." "Still pretending, feeling good about yourself, huh? Liu Zhe dumped me for you, feeling victorious, aren't you?" "What would you be doing here if I didn't have you?" "Is it strange to visit your injured ex-boyfriend? But everyone here seems to think I'm the murderer, I'm really taking the blame for you." "I'm not me, I'm just her neighbor." "Disgusting, you know you're the murderer, otherwise why wouldn't you dare go in?" "I'm not!" "Then go in." "This..."

"Slap!!" Mengmeng flung away the flowers in her hand and slapped Xiaoqi hard.

"What exactly did Liu Zhe see in you? I really don't understand," Mengmeng said coldly. "To be honest, I don't care about being misunderstood at all. Liu Zhe himself knows very well that I can't be bothered with those emotional guys around him. I didn't do it, and that's it. But seeing you makes me very unhappy. I've seen you there several times, hesitant to come in. Who did I lose to? I don't even have the guts." "I just... I just..." Xiao Qi muttered to himself, sitting on the ground.

"How boring. Oh well, this is the last visit anyway. Do whatever you want." When Yu Ru came upstairs again, she saw Xiao Qi sitting on the ground and quickly helped him up.

"Xiaoqi, why are you sitting on the floor?"

"It's Aunt Liu."

"Are you feeling better? Since you're here, go inside and see Liu Zhe. He misses you a lot." "But I... I..." "I know, don't overthink it. I know everything. Liu Zhe was careless. Don't think too much about it. I was the one who asked you to talk to Liu Zhe that day." "It's not like that, Aunt Liu, I..." "You're such a kind-hearted child. Listen to me, don't blame yourself anymore. Otherwise, if you think like that, wouldn't Liu's father and I be accomplices when we asked you to go upstairs that day?" Yu Ru comforted Xiaoqi with a smile.

Xiaoqi felt increasingly panicked. She was now certain that her parents and Liu's parents didn't know that Liu Zhe had met her once when he went out that night, nor did they know that she had harshly rejected Liu Zhe, and that it was because she hadn't stopped him that this accident happened. But Yu Ru's smile made her unable to speak. She knew that if she revealed the truth, they would definitely not forgive her.

Yu Ru understood that her son wanted to see Xiaoqi the most right now, so she quickly pulled her into the room.

"Xiao Qi?!" Liu Zhe exclaimed in surprise.

"Hehe, Xiao Qi, your mother is a little tired from taking care of Liu Zhe these past few days, so she's going back to sleep. Could you help me take care of Liu Zhe for a bit?" "What?" "Mom!" "

That's all for now, you two chat."

Yu Ru, being nosy, created an opportunity for her son and Xiao Qi to spend time together. Before leaving, she instructed the nurse not to disturb them unless necessary. Inside the room, the two looked at each other with slight awkwardness.

At this moment, Liu Zhe's phone received a text message from his mother.

"I've sent the nurse away for you, don't worry. Good luck, son p^_^q" Seeing his mother's blatant hint, he could only smile bitterly. Liu Zhe stared at Xiao Qi, noticing how noticeably thinner she had become, which made him feel a little sorry for her.

"You haven't come to see me in so long, where have you been? Were you busy with a date?" Liu Zhe asked with a hint of jealousy, trying to hide his concern, but he only saw Xiao Qi's eyes slowly redden, and then she started to cry.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for not bringing you back that day."

"Hey, what are you doing? That's none of your business." Liu Zhe panicked, not expecting Xiao Qi to act like this the moment he saw her after not seeing her for so long.

"Don't overthink it, it's my own fault."

"Then why didn't you tell them that I saw you that night?" "Tsk, that's not important, it has nothing to do with it." "Of course it's related." "I told you it had nothing to do with it."

"Would you dare tell them that!"

"This kind of thing isn't important." Xiao Qi was right. Although Liu Zhe said he didn't care, he knew that if he told his parents about it, Xiao Qi, who had gone out with him that night, would definitely be criticized no matter what the reason was. That's why he subconsciously didn't tell them, just to protect Xiao Qi.

"If only I hadn't refused you back then, maybe this accident wouldn't have happened. Or maybe I shouldn't have gone out with you at all..." "Calm down, listen to me, this isn't important at all, really not important. Don't think about it anymore." "It is very important." "Can you treat it as a secret between you and me? Now everyone is fine, that's good." "You call this fine? You can't play basketball anymore, you can't be a surgeon anymore, and you might not be able to go to school for a long time. Your life has changed!!" "I know my own body, don't think too much about it!" "But..." "Xiaoqi, that's it, don't say anything more. Let's make a promise, that night's events will remain as they are. You won't tell, I won't tell, and no one will know, okay?" "I..." "Xiaoqi!"

"Okay, I won't tell."

"Okay, that's good."

Xiaoqi, barely suppressing her emotions, gradually stopped crying. After a long while, she picked up an apple from the table and asked Liu Zhe if he wanted some. He nodded.

Xiaoqi silently peeled the apple, feeding Liu Zhe bite by bite. The two spent the night in their own thoughts.

In the following days, Xiaoqi began taking turns caring for Liu Zhe and helping with his rehabilitation, ostensibly as a neighbor. However, it was clear that she was taking exceptionally meticulous care of him. The elders of both families seemed to sense something unusual, but both sides secretly hoped that the two young people could be together, so they accepted it without expressing any objections.

However, Xiaoqi's pressure grew heavier and heavier. During his hospitalization, some of Liu Zhe's teachers and teammates came to visit him, often expressing their sympathy for his situation.

"It's such a pity. You were already a shoo-in for the national training team. What a shame, what a shame. You're the best basketball player I've seen in recent years." "Are you sure you want to give up the recommendation? With your grades, I think you could take half a year off. The professor will be willing to wait for you." "Senior, without you, I don't think we'll be able to win the championship again." The more they sighed, the more somber Xiao Qi's face became. The common thread among them was their complaints about why fate had allowed Liu Zhe to have this accident. If it had been a second later or a second earlier, everything would have been fine. The more everyone lamented the bright future Liu Zhe should have had, the more somber Xiao Qi's face became. Seeing this, Liu Zhe couldn't help but worry more and more about Xiao Qi.

That day, it was Xiaoqi's turn to take care of Liu Zhe. Both sets of grandparents went home to rest early, but before leaving, they discussed Liu Zhe's original plan to go abroad. Dean Liu said that he could go anytime after recovery, but Zhou's father felt very sorry that Liu Zhe's youth was being wasted. Liu Zhe saw that Xiaoqi seemed to want to say something but held back, and he was secretly worried. Fortunately, she managed to hold back. But after everyone left, Xiaoqi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Liu Zhe, I want to say it." It was indeed about this matter.

"Haven't we discussed it many times? That matter is nothing, there's no need to talk about it." "But..." "Don't say it, let's stop here." "But I can't help it. Everyone says it was an accident, but I know I'm the culprit. If I had stopped you then, you wouldn't be like this today. I rejected you and left you there!!" "I told you it wasn't your fault, it's all fate." Liu Zhe replied weakly.

"It's not fate, it's my one wrong thought that ruined your life. Why can I pretend to be fine after making a mistake!" "Xiao Qi," "Everyone doesn't blame me because they don't know, but I do." Xiao Qi sobbed, her face contorted with tears.

Liu Zhe looked at Xiao Qi with deep concern. He could sense that she was under immense pressure. Although Liu Zhe told himself it had nothing to do with her, in reality, it wasn't entirely unrelated. If Xiao Qi were a heartless person, it would be one thing, but she was also kind-hearted, and both sets of parents were good people. In fact, they were very lucky; almost everyone around them was kind. But sometimes, excessive goodwill can easily become pressure, especially when Xiao Qi wanted everyone to be happy. Both of them were carrying considerable pressure, especially since they were only high school students. At that age, they had little experience with unexpected life events, and they couldn't tell adults about this. They had no idea where to vent their pressure. Liu Zhe considered himself relatively resilient, but he had known Xiao Qi for a long time. He knew she must be feeling terrible about deceiving everyone and pretending nothing had happened. If they had someone to confide in, it would be fine, but they were planning to keep this a secret from everyone.

So, someone had to be the bad guy.

An outrageous, whimsical idea entered his mind, making Liu Zhe shudder. He had once heard of a method (No, this is too ridiculous, too cruel to Xiao Qi…) (But if this continues, Xiao Qi will eventually succumb to the pressure.) (If there's no present, is there any future?) "Ugh, Xiao Qi, I've had enough." Liu Zhe called her name with unusual calm.

"?" Xiao Qi sensed Liu Zhe's unusual emotion and stared blankly at him.

"What you said might be right."

"What?"

"You are indeed wrong."

"I…"

"You said it yourself, didn't you? It was you who rejected me, making me wander around aimlessly." "Liu Zhe, you—" "Did I say something wrong?" "Liu Zhe, what's wrong with you?"

"Did I say something wrong?" Liu Zhe tightened his grip, questioning Xiao Qi.

"No, no."

"So you owe me, you owe me." Liu Zhe revealed a sinister smile and lay down on the bed.

"Liu Zhe…"

"I've thought it through. This is too tiring. After all, you ruined my life, why should I worry about you?" "..." "This is my right." "You..."

"You owe me, Xiao Qi, come here." Liu Zhe commanded. Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, then silently approached. Liu Zhe grabbed her and pulled her into his arms, kissing her fiercely.

"What are you doing, waah!"

"Slap!" Xiao Qi instinctively wanted to slap him, but he grabbed her arm.

"Want to hit me? You ruined my life and you still have the nerve to hit me? What have you done besides crying?" "Don't do this, Liu Zhe." Xiao Qi's expression gradually changed from shock to tears.

"I should be the one saying that."

Liu Zhe made up his mind and slapped Xiao Qi hard.

"Liu Zhe!"

"Go ahead and call them, call everyone here, let everyone know the truth." Liu Zhe laughed. "Then watch how our two families fall out, let everyone know you ruined my life, the only son of a top hospital, the nation's top basketball star, let's see how you face the public after that." Liu Zhe voiced her deepest fear, and Xiao Qi's face paled with panic. She lowered her head and shook it silently.

"Very good." He grabbed the girl's hair and continued fiercely.

"I've endured this for so long, why are you making yourself suffer like this? I'm the biggest victim, shouldn't you compensate me something?" "...What do you want?" Xiao Qi had calmed down a bit by now, but she still looked at Liu Zhe in terror.

The man looked at Xiao Qi for a long time, his heart aching, and finally made up his mind.

"I want you to be my sex slave."

"What did you say?"

Liu Zhe walked to the ground and lifted Xiao Qi's face.

"Sex slave, flesh pot, prostitute, someone for me to vent my desires, isn't that clear enough?" "Are you crazy?!" "You should have heard, right? The doctor said I have erectile dysfunction due to my injury, and I might not even be able to have children. Don't you think my request is reasonable?" "Don't joke around, okay? What's wrong with you?" "Do I look like I'm joking?" Liu Zhe hardened his heart and decided to go all the way. He grabbed Xiao Qi and dragged her to a chair, pulling down her pants.

"No, let me go."

"You think I'm joking? I'll show you whether I'm joking or not." Liu Zhe was determined to pull down Xiao Qi's pants, revealing plain underwear. Although he had just recovered from a serious illness, his physique, honed from playing basketball, allowed him to easily subdue Xiao Qi.

"No, Liu Zhe, please!" Xiao Qi cried and struggled, but Liu Zhe couldn't turn back now. He couldn't just suddenly let go and say, "Sorry, I was just teasing you."

He had to go all the way; he wanted Xiao Qi to never forget this.

Xiao Qi and his pants were quickly pulled down. Inexperienced, he could only desperately recall what he'd learned in books, searching for Xiao Qi's vagina. After a struggle, he finally aimed his penis at her vulva. Xiao Qi could only shake her head frantically.

"You're probably still a virgin, right? I'll take it the first time."

"No!!"

"It's not up to you." Liu Zhe bit his lower lip, feeling extremely apologetic, and inserted his virgin penis into Xiao Qi's virgin territory.

"Ah!!"

"Don't scream!" Liu Zhe quickly covered Xiao Qi's mouth to stop her from making a sound, while his body swayed back and forth. If he could, he really didn't want their first time to happen like this, but it was too late.

Xiao Qi, who hadn't been properly lubricated, felt the pain of her body being torn apart. Liu Zhe continued to force himself to violate Xiao Qi despite his heartache. Slowly, Xiao Qi stopped crying out and fell silent as if resigned to her fate.

"Ugh. Ugh. Ugh."

"So tight, Xiao Qi, you're so hot inside."

The two were intertwined like this for a long time. Finally, as Xiao Qi reached her first orgasm, Liu Zhe also ejaculated into Xiao Qi's body, completing their first sexual intercourse.

"I can't hold back anymore, ah~ I'm coming."

The two were panting heavily. Xiao Qi's beautiful body deeply fascinated Liu Zhe. This was the person he had been dreaming of, yet he had obtained her in the most cruel way.

It wasn't enough. Liu Zhe gritted his teeth and grabbed Xiao Qi's thighs from the front.

"No, Liu Zhe." He ignored Xiao Qi's command and reinserted his penis into her body.

"Look at me, this is the man who took your virginity, haha, remember my face." Liu Zhe stared fiercely at Xiao Qi, even forcefully turning her face back to him and kissing her. His massive body pressed down on her small frame, his thighs spreading her into an M-shape as he continuously injected her with his own fluids, thrusting in again and again until he could no longer ejaculate.

Finally, Liu Zhe weakly withdrew from Xiao Qi's body, silently watching her. He was prepared to be slapped by her, or even slashed several times, but Xiao Qi simply silently tidied her clothes, wiping away the fluids and blood from her genitals without uttering a word.

Looking at Xiao Qi, Liu Zhe silently asked himself if he had done something wrong. Upon calming down, he realized that what he had done was essentially rape. If word got out, even his father would be completely disgraced. But he didn't know how else to inflict greater trauma on Xiao Qi. After a long while, Xiao Qi finally finished dressing, coldly looking at Liu Zhe.

"Just a sex slave, right?"

"Yes."

"I don't want to get pregnant with your child."

"Of course, don't worry, I didn't want this either, I'll take precautions." Liu Zhe felt a pang of heartache.

Xiao Qi's calmness surprised him.

"This is what I owe you, I'll remember it."

"Xiao Qi, remember, this is our secret. If you dare tell anyone, I'll take you down with me." "I hate you, Liu Zhe." Xiao Qi said fiercely.

"Xiao Qi!"

"I'll hate you for the rest of my life!" After saying that, she opened the door and left without looking back.

"What did I do!" Liu Zhe clutched his head in anguish, completely clueless about what the future held for him and Xiao Qi.

Afterwards, Liu Zhe and Xiao Qi developed a new relationship. On the surface, they remained ordinary friends, childhood sweethearts, and never admitted to being boyfriend and girlfriend. They were often together, usually under the pretext of taking care of neighbors. After Liu Zhe was discharged from the hospital and returned home, Xiao Qi still frequently helped him with his daily life, but it was obvious to everyone that there was a strange atmosphere between them.

Both sets of parents found the situation perplexing. While their behavior suggested they were always together, their actions didn't quite match. Their interactions appeared harmonious but felt artificial, leaving them bewildered. However, seeing the two still frequently together, they grew accustomed to it and even jokingly suggested they get together soon if they weren't dating. The two vehemently denied being in a relationship.

Privately, Liu Zhe was treating Xiao Qi like a sex slave, summoning her whenever he had free time to vent his desires. Initially, their techniques were crude, but Liu Zhe forced himself to read books and watch videos, constantly refining his techniques to avoid making Xiao Qi uncomfortable. Xiao Qi, seemingly resigned to her fate and wanting to compensate Liu Zhe, also secretly studied related techniques. Unwittingly, they diligently studied and learned for each other, becoming increasingly skilled in sex through mutual pleasure. It was hard to believe they had once been such innocent students.

While their parents worried about the slow progress, they were unaware that the intimacy between the two had far exceeded their expectations.
