Chapter Seven: A Battle of Beauties

"Ouch! Ah—"

A heart-wrenching scream escaped from my mouth as I sat next to Dr. Liu in the orthopedic surgery clinic of the 718 Armed Police Hospital. Gu Zhenhai, standing behind me, immediately pressed down hard on my body, which was throbbing with pain and nearly jumped out of the chair.

With a 'crack,' Dr. Liu released my arm, smiled with satisfaction, and, while writing in my medical record, said, "You have a dislocated elbow and shoulder joint. I've already corrected it for you."

Sure enough, after that sharp pain, my left arm didn't hurt as much as before, and I happily wiggled my newly healed arm.

"So delicate, and you're supposed to be a man!"

A nurse standing about a meter away muttered as she watched me scream in pain.

Before I could say anything, Gu Zhenhai snapped, "Hey, how can you talk like that?"

He took a step forward, and whether he was really that rude as to discipline a young girl like that, the nurse was so frightened she stumbled back a few steps.

"Hey, Dahai, why are you arguing with her!"

I stopped my impulsive brother in time, but the nurse didn't appreciate it and even muttered under her breath, "Tch, what a scoundrel!"

We exchanged a wry smile, at a loss for what to do. I

'd been paying attention to this nurse ever since I entered the room. She had almond-shaped eyes, and her delicate, arched eyebrows perfectly complemented the shape of her eyes. Beneath her white nurse's cap, her long hair hung straight down and was gathered behind her head, revealing a pair of small ears adorned with pink crystal earrings. Her high nose bridge had a slightly upturned tip, highlighting her perpetually slightly pouting lips. Below her pointed chin was a long, slender neck peeking out from the collar of her white nurse's uniform.

This girl wasn't very old, probably around the same age as Shen Dan, and perhaps slightly less beautiful, but a childlike innocence mixed with a touch of arrogance in her eyes made her stubborn little temper stand out on her face, giving her a unique charm.

Seeing the young nurse's lack of respect for the patient, Dr. Liu said, "Cao Na, don't say that. A dislocated joint is very painful, and it can easily lead to periosteal loosening and joint necrosis. This patient has been suffering for over ten hours,

and it's remarkable that he's endured it until now without any pain medication!" He pointed to the X-ray I had just taken and said, "Look, you can see it with the naked eye. If you had come even half a day later, you might have been disabled. Never endure something like this in the future!"

I humbly agreed, but secretly glanced at Nurse Cao Na, who had looked down on me earlier. She had just slightly straightened her head, which had been tilted in disdain, but still looked at me with a hint of disdain, seemingly not believing that a young man with such an unmanly appearance could have such endurance. Little did she know, it wasn't that I didn't have painkillers; my painkillers were Shen Dan's alluring body and my strong determination to possess her.

At this moment, Dr. Liu had already filled out the outpatient book and handed the medical record to Gu Zhenhai behind me, saying, "His other external injuries are nothing serious. Some medicine and some bone-strengthening plasters will suffice."

He then looked at my left arm: "Hmm, stay in the hospital for observation for two days. Remember not to overexert your left hand, keep the wound dry, and avoid spicy foods."

Gu Zhenhai went downstairs to get the medication, while I thanked the doctor and went to the observation room with the nurse.

The 20-square-meter observation room had only one bed for me, separated from the door by a white medical folding grille. I was half-lying, half-sitting on the bed frame, my left arm in a splint, while Gu Zhenhai sat on a chair next to me with a large stack of receipts.

"Dahai, you really have connections here! I'm just a minor injury patient, and you actually got me into the intensive care unit! Such a big private room all to myself!"

I praised Gu Zhenhai with a grateful tone.

He chuckled, "We guys get injured all the time, so naturally we need to maintain good relations with the hospital."

He leaned back in his chair, looking up at the ceiling, and continued, "This hospital is run by Xiao Tao Hong's uncle as vice president, and we come here often, so we're quite familiar with each other. Otherwise, your injuries would definitely raise questions at other hospitals."

Only then did I understand why Gu Zhenhai had brought me to the 718 Hospital, which was more than ten miles away from Tianjin University. But a thought flashed through my mind, only to be interrupted by Gu Zhenhai's words: "Hey, look at you, so listless. Were you playing with my brother last night, or were you exhausted from working out with that girl?"

"Tired my ass, I didn't even touch her!"

I laughed and cursed, then, seeing Gu Zhenhai's strange expression of disbelief but reluctance to ask further, I said, "You guys worked hard last night, this..."

I pulled out a bank card and handed it over: "There's 20,000 in here. Give it to Xiao Taohong, Liangzi, and Chunlin. Use the rest to buy some good cigarettes and alcohol to treat the extras!"

Gu Zhenhai tilted his head, looking unhappy at the card and not taking it at all. He said irritably, "Yangzi, Yangzi, you're pulling this on me, are you insulting me?"

I knew his temper, so I immediately... He chuckled, "Why the hell would I bother with this? These are for your men. They've been running around for me all night; they can't have worked for nothing, can they?"

He glanced at Gu Zhenhai, who seemed somewhat unconvinced, and continued, "Oh, Dahai, look at you, driving around like a baby, running errands for me. I haven't even mentioned the losses to Xinxing or the medical bills you paid, because we're on good terms. But then again, your brother isn't unreasonable. We're on good terms, so I should at least look after Chunlin and the others, right?"

With that, he forcefully grabbed Gu Zhenhai's arm and shoved the cards into his hand.

Gu Zhenhai reluctantly accepted them, but instead of putting them away, he held them in his hand, seemingly trying to gauge their weight. Then, with a half-smile, he looked at me for a long time before saying, "I didn't expect my brother to have made such a name for himself after all these years. He's quite something!"

He took out a cigarette from his pocket and offered me one, keeping one for himself without lighting it. "You had yourself beaten up like this, and you didn't even utter a sound, that's one thing. But Hong Tao, Chunlin, Xu Liang, and Xiao San have known me for almost a year, yet you've only met them twice, and you know their characteristics so well. You've used all their strengths."

He glanced at the magnetic card, then slowly tossed it into his jacket pocket, continuing, "Look, even your spending is so sophisticated. Someone like you is perfect for big things; I might even want to follow you! Wow, impressive, impressive indeed!"

I understood what he meant. To survive in the underworld, one must first be ruthless, and if I'm this ruthless to myself, I can't imagine how I'd treat others. But to be a top-level figure, besides being ruthless, one must also be able to make the best use of everyone's talents. Zhang Chunlin is disgusting in both appearance and speech, perfect for a troublemaking thug; Liangzi is quick-witted but taciturn, the most sinister of all; Hong Tao is burly and strong, but a bit slow-witted, only fit to be a henchman. I managed to organize these people so well last night, naturally revealing this strength of mine to him. But to truly be a good leader, simply knowing how to use people isn't enough; you also need to know how to win hearts and minds, to give your subordinates and colleagues a sense of shared success. The 20,000 yuan I gave Gu Zhenhai perfectly illustrated my intentions.

Now I dare not underestimate Gu Zhenhai more and more; he actually saw through the mystery of how I assigned roles to his subordinates and the purpose of giving him money. I lowered my head and smiled slightly, then looked at him and said, "Hey, actually, no one in this market is simple. Are you simple? You have so many people under you, you can command the wind and rain, you have both skill and brains. You're not simple either!"

As I smiled knowingly at him, Gu Zhenhai first cleverly avoided my gaze with his eyes, then came back to his senses and looked at me, and we chuckled together.

After a long silence, Gu Zhenhai suddenly stood up: "Alright, I have something to do, so I won't keep you company. Besides, it wouldn't be good if people saw me with you. Call me if you need anything, I'm leaving now!"

With that, he turned his back, waved to me, and walked out.

Sitting on the hospital bed, I was filled with thoughts. This Gu Zhenhai had really learned a lot in the past few years of navigating society. The biggest advantage of being with him was that I didn't have to hide anything; I could say whatever came to mind. But now, he had actually joined in on the treacherous and deceitful atmosphere of society.

He didn't arrive until almost noon today, which gave me ample time to destroy all the evidence, but it also proved how thoughtful he was. Knowing that I needed time to do "big things," he didn't disturb me in the morning. If it were before, he probably would have come to bother me early in the morning, yelling and cursing.

He had strong connections in this hospital. Just as he said, my injuries were clearly caused by fighting, but no one was questioning them here. Moreover, the hospital room I was in was not the kind of treatment I should receive for injuries like this.

Then I thought of Shen Dan again. Her behavior before leaving showed she was bewildered by the sexual desire she felt around me, suggesting there would be more opportunities for us to work things out. Hehe, next I'll use aphrodisiacs to get her to throw herself at me, then give her boundless sexual pleasure, and train her to be my little pet in bed!

The aphrodisiac he gave me was really hard to control. At first, I put it in the cigarette holder, and it was almost useless. But the one I put in a tissue was so potent that Shen Dan almost couldn't resist. It seems I need to be extra careful next time, ideally making this little beauty unable to distinguish between sexual desire and lust.

As I thought this, I lit the cigarette, but suddenly a hurried footstep came from the doorway.

"Hey, who told you to smoke? Smoking is prohibited here!"

A sharp shout rang out, and a nurse suddenly rushed in front of me, snatched the cigarette butt, opened the window, and threw it out. She was then choked by the north wind blowing in from outside and coughed violently.

I looked closely and realized it was indeed the nurse Cao Na from earlier. Before I could speak, she had already closed the window, turned around, and started scolding me again: "Don't you know the rules? You can't smoke in a hospital ward!"

Seeing me smiling at her, she asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Did I say you were wronged? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Actually, I was just admiring her beautiful appearance when she was angry—her pouting lips, wide almond eyes, furrowed brows, slightly sullen expression, and her chest rising and falling—she was really beautiful. A girl like that makes you want to tease her, so instead of getting angry, I laughed: "You've scolded me several times in less than an hour. Are you prejudiced against me? Or is there some wise man who seduced you and then dumped you who looks a lot like me?"

"You!"

The nurse immediately bristled, her eyebrows raised and her almond eyes widening. She was about to explode, but in the end, she just snorted, picked up a stack of things, and left.

The day's work had left me exhausted, and now being alone in silence only made me more sleepy.

I called the school to explain the situation and asked for leave. Then, I put aside all my worries and went to sleep.

When I slowly woke up as the sunlight streamed in through the window onto my face, I was surprised to find that the sun had just risen in the east. Had I slept for over ten hours?

The warm sunlight shone on the face of Cao Na, the young nurse sitting in the chair next to me, making her already delicate face blush even more. She was writing something on a table, glancing at me as she wrote. When she saw me open my eyes, she asked, "Awake? You talked in your sleep last night, you know?" Still using your hands? How can that be enjoyable? Forum reputation guaranteed! High-grade silicone video Fan Bingbing's lower body realistically molded into a highly realistic vulva shape, soft and delicate skin!

"Huh?"

I looked at her strangely and asked, "Why did you stay by my side all night?"

I was very puzzled. It seemed unlikely that the hospital would assign special care to a small patient like me.

To my surprise, Cao Na actually admitted, "Yes, I was on night shift yesterday!"

Seeing my puzzled look, she explained, "I was preparing for a qualification exam. It was too noisy outside, so I studied here."

Then she frowned and complained, "Who knew you wouldn't be quiet here? You always suddenly yell, startling me!"

She blushed slightly and stopped talking.

My intuition told me I might have said something she was uncomfortable about last night, and I felt ashamed. I quickly changed the subject, glancing at the basket of fruit on the bedside table and asking, "Uh, who brought this? Has someone been here?"

"Yes!"

Cao Na glanced at me, then continued writing, saying, "A man and a woman came yesterday evening. They said they were your class monitor and the life committee member, representing the class to see you. They found you asleep, inquired about your condition, left the things, and left!" She continued

writing as if deep in thought, then tapped her notebook with her pen, stood up, and walked out as if I weren't there.

Our class monitor is Wu Wei, my roommate, and the student life committee member is that beautiful Zhu Pingping who keeps me distracted.

What I find strange is that it's normal for Wu Wei to come as a friend, but why is Zhu Pingping here too? You know, class boundaries aren't very strict in university, and the student life committee member is practically a figurehead. Plus, given Zhu Pingping's gentle personality, she would never travel all the way to the hospital to visit a complete stranger.

As I was lost in thought, a small hand suddenly pressed down on my right wrist, followed by another hand gently tapping my pulse point a few times. I turned my head and saw Cao Na standing next to me, holding my right hand with one hand and taking a cotton swab from a medical tray on the table next to her with the other, evenly applying iodine to my wrist. Then, she grabbed an IV needle and "whoosh," plunging it into my vein. Although her movements were a bit clumsy, she didn't hesitate at all.

This completely baffled me. I was only here for observation, not hospitalization, so I shouldn't be getting an IV drip. Even if it was necessary, I checked in yesterday at noon. If I needed the injection, I would have done it long ago. How come it's only now?

Sure enough, just as Cao Na inserted the syringe into my vein, another woman's voice rang out from the doorway: "Nana, wrong, wrong! That antibiotic is for the room next door!"

Cao Na immediately stopped, but knowing I was awake, she didn't apologize at all and just yanked the needle out again.

Good heavens, this nurse is so careless! I learned a little about medication from accompanying Chen Jing's mother to the hospital a few months ago. Antibiotics are specifically for treating external injuries, but giving them to people who don't need them can cause allergies or even poisoning.

Before I could even scold her, Cao Na's pulling out the needle caused me pain again. I instinctively flung my hand away, and the needle flew off somewhere.

Cao Na exclaimed "Ouch!" with a displeased look on her face and even blamed me for moving around. She pressed the cotton swab soaked in iodine onto my wrist, pouting, and said, "Take it, hold it down!"

Then, seeing me staring at her with a bewildered smile, she realized my left hand was still bandaged, and impatiently said, "Never mind!"

She tossed the cotton swab into the nearby trash can, picked up the IV drip, and turned to leave.

I was both angry and amused. How could she possibly be a good nurse with such carelessness and a terrible attitude? Just then, I turned my head and saw the needle I had knocked away land squarely on the chair she had just been sitting on.

Okay, you drugged me, I'll drug you too. Thinking this, I mischievously reached over and picked up the needle. I pulled the covers over my head, took out the diluted aphrodisiac bottle I always carried, and soaked the entire needle in it. After a little liquid had entered, I took it out and put it back on the chair.

Just as I was thinking about how to better place the needle, the sound of leather shoes came from the doorway. Startled, I immediately withdrew my mischievous right hand and lay on my side, pretending to be asleep.

"Nana!"

A familiar female voice rang out: "Nana! Hmm?"

The woman looked around the room, found Cao Na wasn't there, and was about to leave when she saw the man lying on the bed.

"Hi, Yang Ziyang!"

She slapped me on the shoulder, her tone filled with surprise.

"Huh?"

I pretended to be woken up by her patting, opened my sleepy eyes, and saw a girl of about twenty-five or twenty-six standing in front of me. She had a pretty face and a bright spirit. It was Jiang Qiu, the policewoman I had met at the entrance of Shen Dan's residential area more than twenty days ago.

She wasn't wearing her uniform today. She was wearing a purplish-red sweater and dark blue uniform pants, and she was also holding a black wool coat. Although she looked travel-worn, she exuded a spirit, as if she had encountered some good news. At this moment, she was looking down at me with surprise, as if she had discovered a new continent. Because of this, her ponytail hung down in front of her, swaying beautifully.

"You...who are you?"

I rubbed my eyes and slowly sat up, pretending not to recognize her, wanting to see her charming and alluring appearance.

Sure enough, Sister Xiao Qiu immediately looked displeased: "Hey you, you've already forgotten me after just a few days?"

She moved a stool from the bedside table to sit opposite me. Seeing me still staring at her blankly, she huffed, "You forgot, that night we..."

Before she could finish, I scratched my head and interrupted, "Which night?" I

then gave her a half-smile, leering look, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I forgot. But don't worry, one night of intimacy is a hundred days of kindness, I'll take responsibility!"

Jiang Qiu didn't expect me to blurt that out, and her pretty face flushed slightly. She angrily slapped me hard: "Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm Jiang Qiu, the policeman from the Hongqiao branch!"

Hearing this, I immediately pretended to realize something, sitting up straight and slapping my head: "Oh—right, right, Sister Qiu, I'm sorry, I wasn't fully awake yet, I was just talking nonsense, sorry, sorry!"

"Tch, you've got some nerve, daring to flirt with a police officer. Don't you want to live?"

Jiang Qiu said, raising her hand as if to strike me. She stopped mid-air after I dodged to the side. "So, are you going to honestly admit your mistake, or come back with me for questioning?"

Seeing her charming smile, I knew she was joking, so I quickly pretended to beg for mercy: "I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake. Sister Qiu, you're so magnanimous, please don't hold it against me!"

Although I spoke softly, my eyes were fixed on the beautiful woman.

When I mentioned "open-mindedness," Jiang Qiu glanced at her chest, immediately realizing I was groping her. She then lightly patted my forehead with her outstretched hand, spitting, "You little pervert, where are you looking?"

She intended to hit harder, but seeing me instinctively raise my left arm (bandaged and draped around my neck) to block, she withdrew most of her force. Noticing my injuries, she asked, "Hey, what happened to your arm? And your face?"

"Oh, I fell!"

I casually replied.

But police officers see these kinds of injuries all the time, and Jiang Qiu immediately recognized it: "That's not right, you were in a fight, weren't you? This is from being beaten!"

She then sat back down, adopting an interrogation posture, her face stern, and asked, "So, what happened?"

But her expression and demeanor were very affected; she was clearly joking.

I clicked my tongue, sighed helplessly, and asked, "Detective Jiang, you've just come all this way back from out of town. Weren't you here to see that nurse? Why are you interrogating a suspect the moment you walk in?"

As I spoke, I confidently picked up an apple from the cabinet, turning it over and over while giving her a sidelong glance.

"Sigh, how did you know I was looking for someone, and how did you know I just came back from out of town?"

This strange question diverted Jiang Qiu's attention from my questioning about the cause of my injuries, making her wonder again about my seemingly prophetic predictions from that night in the interrogation room.

"Want to know?"

I glanced at Jiang Qiu and handed her the apple. "If you want to know, peel it for me, and I'll tell you!"

Seeing my confident smile, Jiang Qiu unconsciously took the apple, took out her keychain, unfolded the folding fruit knife, and actually started peeling it. But she was such an impatient girl; she'd barely peeled half of it before pressing me for an answer: "Just tell me already, stop beating around the bush!"

Seeing the way this strikingly beautiful policewoman practically worshipped me made me feel really good. So, I calmly said, "The sun's shining brightly today, it's not too cold, yet you're wearing such a thick coat. You must not have slept all night. And this outfit doesn't suggest you're carrying a gun and handcuffs, meaning you're not on duty or on a mission. And look at the wrinkles in your pants from sitting so long—that means you've been in the same position all night, which means you've been driving all night."

I spoke slowly, and Jiang Qiu had almost finished peeling the apple. Of course, she'd cut off a lot of flesh in her haste, but I was still quite satisfied.

Jiang Qiu nodded, then asked, "So how did you know I was here to see someone?"

She stopped what she was doing.

I stared at the apple, pointed at it, signaling her to continue peeling, and said, "Detective Jiang, you're so energetic, you don't seem like someone who comes to the hospital for treatment. Of course, you're here to find someone, not to see

a doctor. Did you come to use the restroom?" Jiang Qiu laughed at my comment, stood up, moved to my right, and stared at me, asking, "Even if I came to find someone, how did you deduce that I was looking for a nurse?"

I thought to myself, this isn't deduction. She kept calling "Nana," "Nana" as soon as she came in; it would be hard not to know. It's just that she, who always thought of me as a deductive genius, didn't realize I was pretending to be asleep, hence the question. I beckoned her closer, and when Jiang Qiu's face was almost touching mine, she whispered, "Want to know? Give me a kiss and I'll tell you!"

"You!"

The policewoman was angry, then smiled mischievously, immediately straightened up, and walked out. She turned back when she reached the screen and tossed the bare apple over. Seeing me swiftly reach out my right hand and grab it, she immediately switched to a mocking expression and said, "You're fine, hurry up and get discharged!"

Then she left.

I held the now much smaller apple, examining it, while I heard Jiang Qiu and Cao Na's conversation at the door.

"Hey, off work?"

"Yeah, almost. I'll go pack up and tell the head nurse, it'll only take ten minutes." "Okay

, I'll wait for you downstairs, hurry up!"

"Okay."

Cao Na's footsteps followed.

Judging from their conversation, neither of them called the other by name, I figured the two girls were probably quite familiar, especially since they both spoke Beijing dialect.

Oh no! Since she's so familiar with this policewoman Jiang Qiu, I really shouldn't have set a trap for her. I might end up getting myself into trouble. Besides, I'm quite interested in this policewoman, Jiang Qiu, and of course I don't want to ruin my good image in her eyes.

But it's too late to think about that now. At this moment, Cao Na gracefully walked in. Seeing me with my head covered by the blanket, she muttered, "Still sleeping? The sun's already high in the sky... Ouch!"

As she muttered to herself, she sat down in a chair, and then, without realizing it, she was pricked by something. She immediately cried out and jumped up.

This scream made me grit my teeth and close my eyes in regret. Luckily, with my head covered, she didn't notice my strange behavior, or I would have been immediately exposed.

"Ouch..."

Cao Na cried out in pain, and then reached down and grabbed the small IV needle that we had just thrown away, which was stuck in her buttock. She spat, "What bad luck, how did it end up here!"

In a fit of anger, she opened the window and threw it out.

Peeking through a slit in the floor, I felt incredibly relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Jiang Qiu hadn't been so reluctant to seek help, she might have been the one pricked instead of Cao Na. And this nurse's careless habit of leaving things lying around conveniently helped me destroy the evidence.

She rubbed her bottom, then touched the chair to make sure there was nothing else to harm her before turning sideways to avoid the wound and slowly sitting down to start tidying her books. Oh

no! The instructions didn't mention what would happen if injected, but it's probably much more direct and effective than oral administration. What if the drug takes effect and causes sexual arousal? And this is a hospital; a simple test based on the wound could determine the cause, and I'd definitely be a suspect.

I nervously observed the nurse, and after two minutes, she indeed acted strangely. She suddenly squeezed her legs together, clenched her fists, her body tense, and her expression seemed to be in great pain.

She looked exactly like the waitress at Little Sheep Hot Pot and Shen Dan from yesterday morning.

At that moment, I really wanted a glass of cold water, but then I thought, even if I stopped her in time, a nurse would still be keenly aware of any abnormalities in her body, and she'd definitely investigate.

Just as I was filled with regret, Cao Na suddenly stood up abruptly, grabbed something from the drawer, and walked out, her steps hurried but a little hesitant. Passing my bed, she even patted the edge and said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't sleep! How can a grown man like you sleep so much? So lazy!"

After she left, I pulled back the covers, filled with doubt. I'd tried this aphrodisiac twice before, and both times it worked instantly. Although I wasn't entirely confident in its application, the effect was undeniably potent. But when she left, she was clearly perfectly lucid. Could it be that the drug didn't work on her?

Oh, right, she's a nurse! Damn, nurses are women too! The hospital's disinfectant going into her nose could neutralize the medication?

Completely baffled, I walked over to her desk, opened the drawer, and pulled out the thing she'd taken earlier. Then it dawned on me: it was a pack of Always sanitary napkins. So her tense and slightly pained expression wasn't from the medication, but from her period. This nurse, Cao Na, just happened to be unavailable today, and this medication apparently doesn't work on women on their periods, which conveniently saved me from my uncontrollable worry. Lost in

thought, holding the pack of sanitary napkins, I didn't expect someone to walk in. The person stopped in front of the grille and called out, "Yang Ziyang, you're awake!"

I turned my head and saw a tall, beautiful girl, like a fairy, standing about three meters from my bed.

She wore black nylon pants that hugged her long, shapely legs, and a pale yellow, loosely zipped down jacket over it, revealing a beige, tight-fitting sweater that accentuated her prominent breasts.

I was immediately stunned when I saw her, not only because of her exceptionally beautiful face, but also because she was the girl I had dreamed of countless times—Zhu Pingping.

She also paused, looking at me awkwardly, and didn't approach. Only then did I realize I was still holding the opened pack of sanitary napkins. I hurriedly threw it into the drawer and slammed it shut, accidentally pinching my finger in the process.

Seeing my disheveled state, the beautiful woman, though virtuous and gentle, finally smiled faintly, which startled me again. I quickly composed myself and asked, "Zhu Pingping, the nurse told me you came with Wu Wei yesterday, is that right?"

In my memory, Zhu Pingping had never shown any courtesy to any male classmates, so it was hard for me to believe that she would come to visit an unknown person like me.

"Ah, you asked for leave saying you fell and hurt yourself, so we came to see you on behalf of the class!"

Zhu Pingping's soft voice always made me feel like my soul was wandering, and the way her red lips swayed and the glimpses of her white teeth between her opening and closing made my seven souls flutter.

Having witnessed the awkwardness men showed around her, she remained unmoved by my outburst, sitting down on the same stool Jiang Qiu had been sitting on by the bed. "How are you? It looks pretty serious," she asked.

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing, just a dislocated joint. It'll be fine in a couple of days!"

I finally snapped out of my reverie. Seeing that her question lacked genuine concern, clearly just a polite remark, I felt a pang of sadness. But then I was puzzled. If she wasn't truly concerned, why had she come all this way to visit me again, even taking time out of class? Her expression remained calm, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking. In truth, aside from the perpetually faint melancholy on her face, Zhu Pingping was usually expressionless, as if nothing in this world could move her.

Hearing me say that, a peaceful smile appeared on her face: "That's good, everyone was quite worried about you."

If it were any other girl, I would have added a teasing remark, asking, "Is everyone worried about me, or are you more worried about me?"

But in front of her, that kind of talk was stifled by her aloof expression, and her demeanor only made me feel a pang of sadness. I thought sadly that it wasn't just her; in fact, no one around me cared about me at all. There was even Li Ziqiang who hated me to the core. Sigh, in this vast sea of people, how many people truly care about me? This gloomy feeling left me speechless for a while, unable to think of anything to say, and she remained silent as well.

After a long while, to ease the oppressive atmosphere, I unconsciously reached for an apple: "Hmm, have some fruit!"

Only then did I realize that I was holding the one Jiang Qiu had peeled earlier, so I quickly put it aside and took another one from the fruit basket, handing it to her.

Zhu Pingping took the apple and turned it around in her hand, her head down as if considering something. She then placed the apple on the table and said slowly, "I... I actually came today to ask you something, but I hope that whether you know it or not, or whether you can tell me or not, you won't tell anyone, okay?"

Although I had already guessed that this girl wouldn't come to see a male classmate like me, whom I rarely spoke to, for no reason, I still felt inexplicably disappointed hearing her say this. I had absolutely no interest in the hidden meaning in her words. I replied almost casually, "Ah, okay, ask away!"

"I want to ask you... did you find a small brown handbag a few months ago, about this size..."

Zhu Pingping gestured with her hand.

"A few months ago?"

I was a little confused by her completely illogical questions. If someone lost something a few days ago, I might still be hoping for the best and search around, but someone had lost it months ago and only came to ask me about it now.

But judging from her description, it seemed very similar to my own handbag, so I asked, "Well... I do have a handbag like that, but it's always been with me, and I've never mixed it up with anyone. What happened? Is that bag important? When and where did you lose it?"

When I mentioned that I also had a similar bag, Zhu Pingping's eyes lit up surprisingly, but after I confirmed that I hadn't accidentally swapped it with anyone else, the disappointment on her face flashed by like a fleeting moment. After a long pause, as if making a decision, she said, "The thing is, my..."

Just then, hurried footsteps sounded at the door, and a person walked in. She peered through the lattice and muttered, "That child, where did he go again?"

Then, seeing me and the girl talking inside, she called out to me loudly, "Hey, not bad, you're quite popular!"

It was Jiang Qiu who had returned.

Startled by the voice, we both looked at her. Seeing Zhu Pingping's stunning beauty, Jiang Qiu was taken aback, then teased, "Wow, you're something else. Is this beauty your girlfriend?"

She looked at Zhu Pingping and asked me with a smile.

Zhu Pingping didn't recognize the person, but seeing how directly she spoke to me, she assumed we were acquainted and immediately stood up.

I was already used to Jiang Qiu's straightforward personality and didn't take it seriously. Before Zhu Pingping could deny it, I loudly said, "The person you're looking for went to the restroom!"

"Huh? You know who I'm looking for?"

Jiang Qiu was taken aback, but seeing my confident yet seemingly helplessly amused smile at her slow reaction, she pointed at me a few times and said, "Fine, I'll trust you one more time!"

and turned to leave.

After she left, Zhu Pingping sat back down and casually asked, "Who's this lady? Do you know her?"

Her tone subtly showed dissatisfaction with Jiang Qiu's abruptness.

"Oh, a friend, a policeman!"

I saw her shift her gaze from the doorway back to me, and asked again, "By the way, what were you going to tell me earlier?"

When I said the word "policeman," Zhu Pingping paused, and when I asked her about what had interrupted her, she was stunned again, and hurriedly replied, "Uh, no... nothing, it's nothing serious, we'll talk about it later!"

Seeing my suspicious look at her, she changed the subject again: "Take good care of yourself, I'll come see you again in a few days!"

Saying that, she stood up and actually turned to leave.

I was very puzzled. Zhu Pingping clearly had something very important to ask me, but why did she stop talking when I mentioned that Jiang Qiu was a policeman? Did she have something she was hiding?

At this moment, three more people walked into the small, usually deserted ward: Jiang Shan, Zhao Xinrui, and Xiao Shendan.

Zhu Pingping stood up and turned around, just as she came face to face with Jiang Shan, who was leading Shen Dan in. Their eyes met, and both were momentarily stunned, captivated by each other's stunning beauty. Zhao Xinrui, who was behind them, also saw Zhu Pingping and was equally taken aback, a fleeting look of jealousy flashing across her face. Only little Shen Dan seemed oblivious to the others in the room. Entering, she gently released Jiang Shan's arm, ran to me, and sat down beside my bed, asking with concern, "Teacher Yang... Teacher Yang, how are you? I heard you were hospitalized, I was so scared!"

Following the three into the room was the nurse Cao Na. She looked at the four beautiful women in the room with a strange expression, then at me as if she didn't recognize me at all, before hurriedly going to the table and chairs, picking up her belongings, and rushing out.

Zhu Pingping paused for a moment when she saw a beauty who was in no way inferior to herself, then turned and politely nodded and smiled at me. After nodding to Zhao Xinrui and Jiang Shan in front of her, she slowly left.

Meanwhile, I was thinking that if Jiang Qiu were included, today would truly be a gathering of beauties. And the policeman, the nurse, the future teacher, the current prostitute, and this little heiress—it was a veritable gathering of beauties. How wonderful it would be if all of them were my women! Unfortunately, apart from that little slut Zhao Xinrui, whom I had repeatedly slept with to my heart's content, the other four were only so-so to me. I wondered when I could take them all to bed and indulge my lust!

Just as I was being captivated by the beauties before me, Shen Dan stared anxiously at my left arm and asked, "Teacher, what happened to your arm?"

She looked extremely worried, as if she was about to cry.

"It's alright, you'll be fine in a couple of days!"

I patted Shen Dan's shoulder and answered casually, then turned to Jiang Shan and Zhao Xinrui and asked, "Hey, how did you know I was here?"

Actually, when I asked for leave, I deliberately made it sound serious and specified which hospital I was in, just to make it easier for the news to leak out.

Sure enough, Jiang Shan walked around in front of me, put the bag of bananas she was carrying on the table, and sat down in the nurse's chair, answering, "This morning, Dan Dan came to me and said something happened to you, asking how to contact you. We went to your place with Chen Jing, but it seemed to be empty. Later, I asked Lin Mo, and she found out that you were actually hospitalized, so we rushed over!"

As she spoke, she noticed my arm in a sling around my neck and asked with concern, "You... how did you get like this? What did the doctor say? Is it serious?"

Shen Dan obviously hadn't told Jiang Shan about what happened that night. As she asked, and seeing the little girl's anxious expression, I reassured her with a smile, replying, "Oh, I fell off my bike the night before last, and Shen Dan happened to be passing by and saw me!"

I smiled at Shen Dan, implying she didn't need to worry about me revealing her private information, then forcefully raised my left arm, which was no longer very painful, to show them, "Look, I'm almost healed, I can be discharged tomorrow morning!"

Of the three girls in the room, Jiang Shan looked concerned, Shen Dan was both guilty and nervous, and anxiously watching my injury, while Zhao Xinrui had a hint of schadenfreude that I could sense. What touched me, however, was that Chen Jing didn't just give Jiang Shan the address; she went with her. This meant she hadn't completely severed ties with me, although I had expected this, it still brought me genuine relief.

Seeing that I hadn't yet reached the point of being utterly wicked and deserving divine retribution, Zhao Xinrui feigned concern, saying, "Oh, I heard you were hospitalized, it worried everyone so much! Jingjing was so down all morning, she's really head over heels for you!"

I knew she had noticed Shen Dan's special concern for me and wanted to use Chen Jing to sow discord between us. Little did she know, Shen Dan herself wasn't sure whether she felt gratitude or affection for me. The appearance of a 'love rival' would actually help me give her a definite answer, which was one of the clever aspects of my move.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Shen Dan immediately pouted uncomfortably, then noticed the peeled apple on the table, glanced towards the door, and asked with a hint of jealousy, "This...this apple, did that lady peel it for you?"

She actually connected it with Zhu Pingping.

I really hoped the apple was from Zhu Pingping, but that hope was too far off. Before I could answer, Jiang Shan said, "Dandan, don't hold onto Teacher Yang's hand, you might hurt him!"

It turned out that Shen Dan had been holding my wrist tightly out of concern, and only after hearing Jiang Shan's words did she realize that she might have been a little too intimate. She then gently released me and sat up straight. I then mentioned the doctor's diagnosis to reassure Jiang Shan and Shen Dan, and to make Zhao Xinrui less smug.

It was noon. Jiang Shan glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late. Dandan has class this afternoon. I'm relieved you're alright. We'll come see you again after you're discharged!"

She stood up and gently pulled Shen Dan, who was leaning against me, to her feet. She gestured to Zhao Xinrui, who was sitting below me, that it was time to leave.

I pretended to lean back with difficulty, as if I wanted to stand up to see her off but couldn't, and said, "Don't worry, I'll be able to go back to class in a couple of days!"

But little Shen Dan misunderstood me. Her starry eyes sparkled as she replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you at home." She

glanced back at me before following Zhao Xinrui out.

After they left, Jiang Shan said to me earnestly, "Jingjing has been in a bad mood these past few days. Today, hearing you were sick, she's been even more distracted..."

She looked towards the door and said, "Chen Jing has always kept you in her heart. Shouldn't you tell her you're being discharged tomorrow?"

Then she smiled knowingly and followed the two girls out.

After she left, I weighed the clean, white apple in my hand, my mind racing with conflicting thoughts. It seemed Chen Jing still couldn't let go of me; perhaps we still had a chance to rekindle our romance. This was easy to understand; a girl like her would certainly be nostalgic and forgiving. It was perfectly reasonable for her to be reluctant to let go of a man who had deceived her but truly loved her, a man she also loved, a man who had taken her precious virginity.

But the question was, why did Jiang Shan tell me all this? Was she intentionally trying to set us up? She didn't know the tumultuous changes that had occurred between us over the past few months and hoped that lovers could be together. But I think that was only one aspect. On the other hand, she seemed to have sensed something from Shen Dan's attitude towards me. She didn't want Shen Dan to fall for me, which was why she deliberately pulled her away, also intentionally reminding me that there were other fish in the sea.

Why didn't she want Shen Dan to like me? Was it out of friendship with Chen Jing? If that was her purpose, why didn't she offer to take back the tutoring job she had given me? It's almost the end of the semester, and the first CET-4 exam is over. She should have some free time now, and besides, it's obvious she and Shen Dan are like sisters. This doesn't make sense, does it?

While racking my brains, I thought of Zhu Pingping. She clearly had something important to tell me, but was forced to give up because of Jiang Qiu's appearance. Could it be that she didn't go to the wrong place when she came to my house last time, but instead didn't expect me to be the one at the door? Sigh, this girl is even more of a mystery!

I spent the day filled with doubts about Jiang Shan and Zhu Pingping, even gazing out the window at the hazy moonlight at night, lost in thought.

The next

morning, Shen Dan bought a lot of breakfast and came to see me. This time she came alone. It seems that if she hadn't insisted on bringing Jiang Shan along to find me, she wouldn't have bothered anyone else yesterday. Of course, this is the outcome I hoped for, but I still pretended to be unhappy about her skipping class. The little beauty only responded with a mischievous and willful smile.

Although the sling had been removed and my left arm was no longer in much pain, I still managed to get discharged with her careful assistance and headed straight for Tianjin University in a taxi. Despite my repeated attempts to dissuade her, Xiao Shendan insisted on taking me home. When the car stopped near the north gate of Tianjin University, the braking was a little too abrupt, and Shendan immediately expressed her dissatisfaction: "Hey, slow down!" She then

asked me with concern, "Brother, are you alright?"

Seeing me gently shake my head at her with a smile, she opened the car door and got out with me. Watching the Xiali drive away, she was still indignant: "This lousy car, I should have asked Brother Gao to drive that Volvo XC90!"

At this moment, a slender figure slowly walked out of the iron gate and stood behind us, softly calling out, "Ziyang, you're discharged!"

When I turned around, I found it was the gentle and beautiful Chen Jing, whom I hadn't seen for over a month. Despite the dead of winter, she was dressed simply, in a cream-colored winter coat over grey-blue trousers that reached down to her black cotton-padded shoes. She carried a greyish-blue nylon handbag in front of her, looking travel-worn, stamping her feet in the north wind – clearly she had been waiting for a long time.

"Jingjing!"

Although I had expected her to appear, it had been quite a while since I'd seen her, and seeing her again still stirred a surge of excitement within me. I quickly went over to take the bag from her.

But Chen Jing seemed surprised that Shen Dan had brought me back. She hesitated for a moment, then gently dodged my hand from her hand, straightening her expression slightly, and said, "I'll carry it myself. You… just call me Chen Jing."

Then she turned to Shen Dan and asked, "Dandan, you're here too? Don't you have class?"

Perhaps Chen Jing couldn't completely forget the psychological trauma of my initial approach being a trap, or perhaps she was embarrassed to be too close in front of others.

When Shen Dan first saw Chen Jing, she was taken aback. Then, she warmly followed me, but noticing our awkward expressions and conversation, her attitude cooled considerably. She replied curtly, "Yes, I'm here to pick up Brother Yang from the hospital!"

She then reached for my right arm.

Yesterday, in front of Jiang Shan and Zhao Xinrui, Shen Dan had consistently addressed me as "Teacher Yang," but now, seeing Chen Jing, she immediately used "Brother Yang," a title she only used when we were alone. Her tone and actions were even more intimate than usual. I clearly sensed that Chen Jing, as I suspected, had indeed become the catalyst for Shen Dan's developing feelings for me.

I deftly dodged Shen Dan's hands as she tried to link arms with mine. Seeing how cold Chen Jing looked, I felt sorry for her and quickly said, "It's really cold today. My rented room isn't far ahead; let's talk when we get home!"

I then led the way.

"Oh, no need, I'm in a hurry!"

Chen Jing stood still, not following me, and said to Shen Dan, who was walking alongside me very close by.

Before I could speak, Shen Dan had already run over and grabbed Chen Jing's hand: "Why are you in such a rush? My house is just a few steps away. Let's go home, sit down, warm up, and have a drink of water before we go!"

She pointed to a cluster of small bungalows ahead.

Her tone clearly indicated that she considered herself the host and Chen Jing a guest. Little did she know that although Chen Jing had never been to my little shabby house, we had shared a bed for several months.

Faced with Shen Dan's "hospitality," Chen Jing couldn't refuse and walked with me into the school.

I took out the key from an inconspicuous crack in the bricks next to the entrance, opened the creaking wooden door, and led the two girls into the small bungalow, less than thirty square meters, to the heated bedroom.

Shen Dan stared blankly at the simple place she would never forget, before moving a chair from the outer room for Chen Jing to sit down.

"You...you're living here now?"

Chen Jing asked after sitting down, taking the glass of warm water Shen Dan poured for her, and saying "thank you."

Chen Jing was usually a woman of few words; even during our passionate romance, she only expressed her happiness with a sweet smile. Although she wasn't eloquent, she had many thoughts on her mind. Seeing her looking around since entering the room, and then asking this question, I immediately understood her thoughts.

Over the past few months, after initially "giving" her a large sum of money, I had consistently offered her assistance whenever she needed it. In total, including the more than 20,000 yuan with ulterior motives, I had indeed provided her and her mother with considerable financial support. As a college student with no financial support and an orphan, Chen Jing must have assumed I was giving her everything I had. Therefore, although I lamented that I had deceived her, I was still moved by my current "poverty-stricken life".

I didn't argue, just gave a bitter smile and replied, "Well, isn't this great? It's so close to school, very convenient!"

My expression and words only solidified Chen Jing's thoughts. A wave of inexplicable sorrow welled up in her heart, and she lowered her head speechlessly.

Shen Dan sat next to me, staring blankly at the dirty sheets. Hearing our conversation, she pouted slightly. She quickly changed the subject, saying, "Oh dear, brother, you should take your medicine!"

Saying this, she took the plastic bag containing various medicines that she had brought from the hospital, sorted them out, and then ran to get some water.

"Don't bother, it's already past ten o'clock, you should go back to school!"

I gently lifted the blankets scattered on the bed, wanting to fold them up. Chen Jing saw my left arm wrapped in a splint, immediately stood up, took the blankets from my hands, and folded them for me.

But Shen Dan felt uncomfortable seeing all this. She glanced at Chen Jing before saying, "It's okay, I've taken leave!"

She then handed me water as she watched me prepare my medication. Besides the oral anti-inflammatory and antibacterial medication, the doctor also prescribed a pain relief patch. Shen Dan opened the package and took out a patch, but didn't know where to apply it.

"This is for your back and shoulders!"

I said, slowly unbuttoning my shirt. While taking off my top, I said to the two women, "Could you please step outside for a moment?"

"How can you reach it yourself? Let me help you!"

Shen Dan said, pulling at my vest. She showed no intention of avoiding suspicion. I didn't know if she genuinely considered me family or was doing this specifically so Chen Jing would see.

"That's not how you apply a plaster!"

Chen Jing immediately stopped her as Shen Dan peeled off the patch and was about to press it onto my shoulder. Seeing her standing there dumbfounded and at a loss, Chen Jing gently took the medicated patch from Shen Dan's hand and said, "Before you put it on, you need to warm it with hot water first so it will stick firmly. Also, it's best to apply some safflower oil to soothe the nerves and improve blood circulation!"

"Oh, okay!"

Shen Dan agreed and rummaged through the medicine bag, muttering, "Safflower oil...safflower oil? I don't have any!"

The doctor hadn't prescribed any medicated oil for me.

"Alright, stop looking, just pour some hot water!"

Chen Jing said, taking out a bottle of safflower oil from her bag, opening the packaging, tearing off the plastic seal, and pouring it onto my hand to apply.

The medicated oil was obviously brand new, and Shen Dan noticed this as well. She pouted awkwardly and reluctantly picked up the thermos and poured water into a cup.

After the medicated oil had been applied and generated a slight warmth, Chen Jing took a towel to wipe it clean. Just as she was about to warm the plaster with a cup of water, she exclaimed, "Oh dear, this water is too cold!"

She then looked up at Shen Dan and asked, "Is there any hot water?"

Since I left home that morning, the water in the thermos hadn't been changed, so it was naturally lukewarm.

"This..."

Shen Dan was momentarily at a loss, complaining, "Neither of the bottles has hot water!" She

then said helplessly, "How about I go boil some water?"

"Never mind!"

Chen Jing looked around, then leaned over and placed the plaster face down on the radiator. "This will work too. We can apply it later!"

Objectively speaking, Chen Jing might be slightly inferior to Shen Dan in terms of looks, but when it comes to life experience, Shen Dan, this pampered little girl, couldn't possibly catch up with Chen Jing, who had to be independent in daily life and take care of her sick mother.

In this exchange, the little girl immediately felt inferior, a hint of shame flashing across her face, which slowly turned into jealousy. She pouted and glared angrily at Chen Jing from behind.

Chen Jing, however, paid no attention to her reaction. At that moment, she noticed the dirty, torn bedsheets exposed after the bedding had been neatly arranged. There were scratches, bloodstains, and many other stains on them. If I hadn't already intentionally repaired the sheets, the girl who used to make love with me would have been able to tell what had happened just from the marks alone.

"These sheets are too dirty. Your hands aren't free right now, let me wash them for you!"

Chen Jing said, reaching to remove them.

Shen Dan stopped her, awkwardly stammering, "Chen Jing... Sister, no need, I... I'll do it!"

She glanced at her watch, feigning an unconscious exclamation, "Oh dear, it's almost 11:30!"

Looking up at Chen Jing with concern, she asked, "Didn't you say you had something to do? This..."

Chen Jing, of course, understood that she was being politely asked to leave, and felt a little embarrassed. She had come specifically to see me, but because of our unresolved issues and Shen Dan's presence, she couldn't be too direct, so she had only said she was passing by and happened to drop by. Now, after Shen Dan's words and seeing me sprawled on the bed, she felt too embarrassed to linger any longer.

"Really, it's so late. You two chat, I'll get back to work!"

she said, standing up to leave.

For Shen Dan's psychological effect, this had been achieved; Chen Jing's current usefulness was over. But I was still reluctant to see her leave; perhaps her departing figure was a hidden pain in my heart.

I struggled to my feet. "Chen... Chen Jing, sit a little longer. Have lunch before you leave!"

"Don't move around too much with your injury!"

Shen Dan gently pressed me down, but called out to Chen Jing, who seemed reluctant to leave, "Take care, Sister Chen. We won't see you off. It's cold outside, button up your coat!"

"Oh... okay!"

Chen Jing was taken aback by Shen Dan's behavior. She quickly pulled up the collar of her winter coat and said to me, "Your joints are still a little swollen, don't exert yourself too much. Don't get cold water on your wound, be careful not to infect it. Rest more, drink more water, and cover yourself with an extra blanket when you sleep!"

After I softly agreed, she turned and left.

"So nagging!"

Shen Dan muttered under her breath. Seeing me peering towards the door, she quickly grabbed the plaster from the radiator and told me to lie down again and apply it to me.

Having been lonely since childhood, I'd never experienced the kind of jealousy and rivalry between men over me, so I certainly enjoyed it. Furthermore, Chen Jing clearly still harbored feelings for me, which accelerated the healing of my psychological trauma, making me feel much lighter all over.

I sat up, straightened my clothes, and stared blankly at the small patch of crimson blood on the sheet I had been pressing down on, my breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

At first, Shen Dan thought my silence was due to Chen Jing's departure, and she felt uneasy. But later, seeing me staring blankly at the bright red IV drip on the bed, and with an unnatural expression, she couldn't help but feel puzzled, as if she had thought of something but couldn't quite grasp it.

At this moment, I glanced at her with a heavy heart, and after a long while, I stammered, "Dan... Dan Dan, there have been outsiders around these past few days, and there are some... some things I haven't had a chance to ask you, I..."

As I spoke, I touched the bed, looking very embarrassed.

"What do you want to ask me?"

Shen Dan didn't understand what I meant and actually sat down next to me, looking at me strangely.

This little girl is too slow, I found it a bit funny, but that's good, the more clueless she is, the easier it is for her to fall into my trap. Suddenly, I grabbed her shoulders with both hands, looking at her excitedly and saying, "You...you tell me, did I do something to you that night? Where...where did this blood come from? Could it be...could it be that after I took that drug I...could it be that I..."

Seeing me looking at her anxiously and nervously, glancing at the bloodstains on the sheets every now and then, Xiao Shen Dan finally "understood." Oh, he thought we had been intimate that night, and the bloodstains were from a girl's first time.

"You..."

Shen Dan smiled faintly, seemingly wanting to tell the truth to help me put my mind at ease. But seeing my burning gaze and unbearable expression, and remembering the natural affection I had shown for Chen Jing earlier, she immediately changed her mind. Instead, she put on an extremely aggrieved expression, used her arms to pry my hands off her shoulders, pouted, pretended to cry, and turned her back to me. After a long while, she sobbed, "And you still say that? You don't even remember what you did?"

"I...I really don't remember. My mind was all foggy at the time, I had no idea what I did!"

I anxiously recounted my confused state at the time, and then, as if I already knew the answer, I pressed on, "Could it be...could it be that I really...?"

"What do you think?"

The pretty girl gently turned her head, her tone accusing.

"Ouch—"

I slapped myself hard, filled with remorse, and cursed, "I...I'm no human being!"

Startled by the 'slap,' Shen Dan turned around immediately. Seeing that I was about to continue punishing myself, she grabbed my arm, which was raised high and waiting there, and exclaimed, "What...what are you doing?"

"How could I..."

I said, gently shaking off Shen Dan's hand, and then, without any pretense, slapped myself hard across the face again, followed by raising my right hand once more with remarkable acting skills.

"Don't do this...don't do this!"

Shen Dan lunged at me again, grabbing my hand tightly.

"I...I'm no good, don't stop me!"

As I spoke, I shook off Shen Dan again, but this time I seemed to have used too much force, and she almost fell over.

"Ah!"

Just as the little beauty cried out and was about to fall off the bed, I forgot about punishing myself and suddenly grabbed her around the waist.

So close, the five finger marks on my face were clearly visible to Shen Dan. Her eyes welled with tears, and she suddenly hugged me tightly, crying, "Brother, brother, please don't hit me anymore, actually..."

I didn't hug her back, but instead raised my head in deep remorse, as if only that could stop the tears that were about to spill from my eyes. I said in a trembling voice, "I shouldn't have done that. How could I do such a beastly thing to you? I can't forgive myself, and Jingjing... Jingjing won't forgive me either!"

Shen Dan had initially been tempted to say, seeing me slapping myself so hard with remorse, "Actually, you didn't rape me. I still have a pure virgin body."

But when I mentioned Chen Jing, she immediately took back her words and changed her tune, "Actually... actually, I don't blame you, really!"

I chuckled inwardly. This little girl, Shen Dan, was so easily fooled. If she had no sexual experience, she wouldn't know that virginity is much lighter than regular blood, that would be understandable. But my lines just now sounded like something out of a Korean or Taiwanese romance drama; even I thought they were a bit too fake, and she didn't even realize it? However, I did manage one thing very well: I used her competitive nature, bringing up Chen Jing to provoke her.

Sure enough, she was about to tell the truth, but due to a vague infatuation or gratitude towards me, and jealousy of her rival who seemed more mature and capable than her in front of her "beloved," Shen Dan ultimately didn't reveal the "truth." This also shows that she hoped to gain my favor, which is why she kept it a secret, hoping to elicit my sympathy out of guilt.

"Brother, it's all over now. I'm so glad that person that night… was you!"

The girl nestled in my arms, resting her face against my chest, and said softly, "If you hadn't saved me, I might… I might…"

If I hadn't saved you, you might have been gang-raped by seven or eight thugs, suffering a fate worse than death. Now, only one person did it to you, and you avoided the humiliation of being gang-raped, right? " But I haven't even done it to you yet, don't rush, it's not far off!

" I thought to myself, lost in my fantasies while feeling the soft, warm body of the girl, yet I still had to confess, "No matter what, I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have!"

I said, gently pushing her up, turning my head away, not daring to look at her, closing my eyes and letting out a long sigh, then looking at the ceiling and sighing, "Sigh—you go first, I want to be alone for a while!"

Shen Dan couldn't think of any words to comfort me, and didn't want to tell me the truth, afraid that I would get rid of the burden in my heart and stop paying attention to her, so she sat there for a long time before reluctantly walking out. Seeing her reluctant look as she turned back every few steps, I chuckled inwardly, but at the same time I knew she wouldn't leave easily. Sure enough,

there was a shadow flickering at the door, and I quickly pretended to be holding my head and scratching my scalp in frustration, unable to find a way out, and after a long while, I secretly observed that there was no more movement at the door, and then I slowly returned to normal.

The next day, I appeared in class at school. Apart from Wu Wei expressing some concern, no one else offered me a sincere greeting. Even Zhu Pingping, who had specially come to the hospital to visit me again, acted as if nothing had happened.

It was noon, and after lunch, I returned home to find the door open. Pushing it open, I was surprised to find Shen Dan already waiting for me inside.

She immediately stood up when she saw me, looking at me with delight and smiling, "You're back! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

She acted somewhat like a Japanese housewife welcoming her husband, leaving me momentarily flustered.

"Huh?"

I asked, startled, "How did you get in?"

Actually, I had deliberately revealed where I hid the keys yesterday to make it easier for Chen Jing and Shen Dan.

Sure enough, Shen Dan, while taking out a bunch of keys and twirling them on her index finger, replied, "If this young lady wants to come in, no one can stop her, hehe!"

Her smugness was tinged with innocent cuteness, truly captivating.

Seeing me staring blankly at her, the pretty girl patted the thermos on the bedside table, as if asking for praise, and said, "I've made the water for you, and tidied up the room for you too. How about that? I'm capable, right?"

I looked at the mess she had made of the items and could only shake my head and smile wryly. Suddenly, I noticed a small rectangular cardboard box on the wall. Judging from the packaging, it should be bedding or something like that, so I pointed at it and asked, "Where did you get this?"

"No, it's not here."

Shen Dan seemed to only notice its presence now. She slowly opened it on the bed while saying, "This was left at the door when I came in, and I just grabbed it..."

As she spoke, she opened the packaging and saw a blue and white checkered single bed sheet inside. She was stunned for a moment, then her brows furrowed.

"Jingjing..."

My first thought was that Chen Jing had been here before. Knowing her personality, even if she knew the key was readily available, she wouldn't enter without the owner's permission, which was why she left the item at the door.

Hearing me unconsciously call out Chen Jing's name, Shen Dan's expression immediately became unnatural, as if all the fruits of her morning's hard work had been overshadowed by Chen Jing's subtle action. She was immediately displeased, tossing the thing aside without a word and sitting on the edge of the bed, sulking.

"Dandan, have you eaten?"

I asked with concern, but she seemed not to hear me at all. I had no choice but to go over and gently pat her shoulder, asking softly again, "Dandan, what time did you arrive? Have you eaten?"

"I don't want to eat!"

Shen Dan replied curtly, then stood up and walked out, saying to me, who seemed oblivious, "Brother, wait a minute, I'll be right back!"

After she left, I carefully examined the room, which she had now made even messier, and noticed a few details. First, the blankets had been neatly folded and the sheets smoothed out before I left, but now the blankets were tossed aside, and the sheets clearly showed wrinkles from where someone had lain. Second, the underwear she had left in the drawer was now neatly folded and placed back in its original spot. Third, the socks and underwear I had left were now hanging on the bathroom line, dripping water, clearly washed by her.

Sleeping in my bed, allowing me to keep her underwear, and even washing my clothes... Hmm, it seems my strategy of winning her over is working well; Shen Dan will soon be my woman.

Half an hour later, hearing a knock at the outer door, I immediately took out the diluted aphrodisiac I had prepared beforehand and sprayed it into a cup half-filled with warm water, pretending to pick up the cup to drink.

*Snap* The bedroom door was gently kicked open by Shen Dan. I looked up and saw that she had brought in a lot of things, bags and packages.

Shen Dan placed several cardboard boxes by the door and walked up to me, panting heavily. Seeing her so exhausted, I immediately stood up and handed her the half-filled cup of water: "What are you doing? Here, have some water!"

The water was lukewarm, just right for her. The little girl, without any suspicion, gulped down the half-filled cup of water that I had apparently drunk from, then put down the cup, panting, and said, "Huff... I went to Friendship Store!"

Ignoring her recent travel fatigue, she opened all the bags and boxes one by one.

I looked closely and saw a complete set of bedding: pure cotton sheets, silk quilts, brocade pillowcases, and even a sheer, openwork bed curtain. All of it was from the designer brand Fuanna.

Shen Dan gently pulled me away from the bed and started taking things out one by one, saying, "Your quilt and mattress smell bad; you should have changed them a long time ago!"

But after fiddling around for a while, she realized the four-piece set she'd bought was too big and didn't fit my single bed at all. She got a little annoyed with herself, lightly slapping the bed and complaining, "Oh dear, I forgot! These are for double beds!"

"Dandan, can you please stop this?"

I thought, amused, but pretended to be serious. "I already feel so bad for you; please stop being so nice to me!"

I said, grabbing the arm of the bewildered girl.

"Brother!"

Shen Dan turned around and hugged my arm that was pulling her, burying it between her proud breasts. Her head rested on my shoulder, rubbing against me gently. She continued, "I just want to be good to you. I... I know you're very good to me too... very good..."

As she spoke, she shook my right arm, touching her prominent breasts back and forth, her eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and grievance, evoking endless tenderness.

Gradually, her hands began to move down my arm, gently rubbing my right hand between her legs—that place that drove men wild—while her legs slowly came together, twisting back and forth slightly, emitting

soft moans of "Mmm... mmm..."

I knew the drug was starting to take effect, but the dosage I had given her wasn't enough to make her unable to control her desire to make love to me; it was merely enough to make her distracted and aroused. I didn't stop her at that moment, but instead gently stroked her fluffy hair with my other hand, and instead teased her gently, saying, "Dandan, I have a girlfriend, it's Sister Chen Jing who came yesterday!"

The flames of passion and desire were just beginning to burn, how could they be extinguished by my words that added fuel to the fire? Upon hearing this, Shen Dan breathed softly in my ear, "No...no, she hasn't even come to see you, she doesn't like you!"

"No, it's just that your Sister Chen Jing isn't very good at expressing herself, and we...we haven't reached that point yet!"

I reached out my left hand, pretending to try to brush away her two soft hands that were gripping me, but she gently placed them on her delicate, blushing face.

"Not...not at what point?"

Shen Dan couldn't understand why she was being so bold and direct today, as if some unseen force was guiding her, and she actually asked, "Not at our point yet?" As she spoke, she pinched my right hand and slowly rubbed it on her lower abdomen, closed her eyes, and began to moan softly

, "Mmm...huff...mmm..." Today, I was determined not to touch Shen Dan first, wanting to solidify her desire for me. Therefore, I allowed her to press my hand against my face and vulva, stubbornly resisting the urge to move. Shen Dan was already losing her balance, her body constantly bending downwards. This forced me to resist the temptation of her beautiful face on my hand and her vulva so close, while also controlling the constant rubbing of her two proud breasts against my right arm. Suddenly, Shen Dan straightened up, opening her eyes, which had been half-closed in ecstasy. She frowned and looked at me shyly, whispering in my ear, "Brother, I...I'm so eager..." The moment those words left my lips, I immediately regretted not controlling the dosage properly. If Shen Dan wanted to sleep with me now, I was truly in a dilemma. If I agreed, it would make me seem like a man lacking self-control, potentially losing points in her eyes and possibly jeopardizing my long-term possession of her. But if I firmly refused, I was afraid she would be too ashamed to see me again and wouldn't dare to bother me. To my surprise, the little girl continued, "Brother, there doesn't seem to be a restroom here..." Hearing this, I finally put aside my doubts, but I was also a little disappointed. I quickly and gently pushed her away, replying, "There really isn't a restroom here; you have to go outside." Then, with a troubled expression, I said, "But that's a public toilet, and it's quite dirty!" "Oh, is that so?" Shen Dan hesitated when she heard me say that, but then she trembled slightly and said urgently, "Okay then, I haven't been able to hold it all morning... I can't hold it anymore!" She lightly covered her lower abdomen with her hand and was about to squat down, so I had no choice but to help her walk deeper into the alley. My place was probably going to be renovated; there weren't many other residents, and it was nap time, so the alley was deserted. Shen Dan hurriedly went into the women's restroom, while I waited outside. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but chuckle. This girl's half-awake, half-obsessed state was truly interesting; she wasn't blatantly pursuing physical pleasure with a loss of reason, yet she possessed a touch of coquettish wantonness. Just as I was savoring the moment, a sudden scream of "Ah!" came from the women's restroom. Without thinking, I rushed in, calling out, "Dandan, Dandan, what's wrong?" When I entered the dimly lit women's restroom, I found Shen Dan standing there, facing me sideways. Her hands were clenched into fists, her arms shielding her chest, her face filled with terror, and her body trembling slightly. What stunned me most was that Shen Dan was still naked from the waist down; her two full, snow-white buttocks trembled slightly with her body's movements, incredibly alluring. Although I couldn't see the cleavage in her front because she was facing me sideways, it was enough to make my lower body suddenly tighten. "Ah, Brother Yang!" Only then did Shen Dan notice me standing not far behind her near the door, looking at her with concern, but my gaze slowly shifted from her upper body to her lower body. The little girl then realized she was completely exposed, and immediately pulled up her underwear, long johns, thermal pants, and outer pants all at once, running to me and hugging my neck, still trembling with fear, she cried out, "Mice! Mice! There are mice!"

Hearing her say that and seeing the small black shadow darting quickly at the base of the wall in the darkness, I breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Shen Dan had only seen a small reptile common in such places. I quickly comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, they won't come over!"

Then I asked, "Dandan, are you... are you done?"

"Yes!"

The little girl remembered that she had been naked in front of me earlier, and when I asked about her "progress" in the toilet, she shyly lowered her head and answered, almost burying her head in my chest.

I secretly felt a pang of regret. If Shen Dan's urination had not been smooth due to the rat, under the pressure of the "strong enemies" around us, I might have personally witnessed the whole process of a beautiful woman using the toilet. Even if I didn't get to see it, I could at least have a good ear.

The girl gently let go of me, quickly fastened her clothes, and walked out with me. But we encountered another girl walking into the toilet. The three of us almost bumped into each other and couldn't help but step aside to look. Upon closer inspection, all three of us froze. I was surprised to find that the girl in front of me was Zhu Pingping. She was even more surprised to see us hurriedly walking out of the women's restroom arm in arm. For a moment, none of us spoke.

Two seconds later, Zhu Pingping stepped aside, indicating that we could leave, and then went into the women's restroom in the space we had made. As she brushed past me, she subconsciously glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.

Just that one glance made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I didn't know if she was puzzled, surprised, or had some misunderstanding.

Damn it, why am I so good at embarrassing myself in front of the girls I like? Once, when I was trying to seduce Zhao Xinrui by Youth Lake, Liu Xueying unfortunately caught us, which made her utterly despise and loathe me. Later, in the girls' dormitory at the Normal University, Chen Jing was giving me oral sex, and Jiang Shan almost caught us again. Although we weren't exposed in the end, the embarrassment at the time was indescribable. The two times before, I deserved my fate and brought it upon myself; though unlucky, I couldn't blame anyone else. But today is different—I'm innocent! But seeing a man and a girl coming out of the women's restroom, and the girl even fastening her pants as she walked, looking extremely flustered, it's no wonder Zhu Pingping misunderstood! If she heard Shen Dan's exclamation, she'd be even more convinced that I, this pervert, had done something lewd and obscene to that young girl. It seems I can't clear my name no matter what I do this time. What's she doing in this godforsaken place? Last time she said she got the wrong room, but she was clearly after me. Yesterday, she asked me hesitantly what I wanted to say. Could it be that she's here to see me today too?

As I was lost in thought, Shen Dan, who was holding my arm, gently asked, "Brother, was that the lady who visited you at the hospital yesterday?"

Her question snapped me out of my reverie: "Ah, yes, it was her. She's a classmate!"

"Does she live around here too?"

Shen Dan clearly suspected a connection between me and Zhu Pingping. I knew her temperament well; spoiled since childhood, everyone pampered and indulged her, giving her an innate sense of superiority. Yesterday, Chen Jing had made her look foolish, and although she was resentful, it was just a minor detail she didn't really care about. But Zhu Pingping's reappearance today made her question her previously cherished appearance, because Zhu Pingping was a stunning beauty who could make any man's heart flutter and countless women envious.

Shen Dan's question only intensified my lament of unrequited love, like a king dreaming of a goddess who is heartless. I mumbled an answer, "We're not very close, I don't know!"

Then, to distract the little girl, I quickly added, "Dandan, I want to quit this tutoring job with your father tonight. I don't want to continue!"

"Why?"

Shen Dan abruptly released my arm, her face filled with disappointment, sadness, and confusion, her lips pouting as if she were about to cry.

"I...I..."

I stammered, slowly saying, "Although what happened that day wasn't my intention, and you said you forgave me, but...but..."

Under Shen Dan's anxious gaze, I hesitated for a long time before continuing, "But I just can't face you. Seeing such a...such an innocent, romantic, and beautiful little girl ruined by my hands, I...I really can't let go!"

By this time, we were already walking towards the alley exit. Shen Dan noticed that I was intentionally not going back into the house, but instead seeing her off. She was now caught in a dilemma. On one hand, she didn't want me to understand the 'truth' and give up my special feelings for her; on the other hand, she would lose the opportunity to spend time alone with me, her caring 'tutor.' But I knew that for this little princess who had been pampered since childhood, whatever she wanted would naturally come to her. Therefore, the harder something was to obtain, the more precious it was to her, and the stronger her desire for it became.

Sure enough, Shen Dan suddenly stopped and looked at me seriously, asking earnestly, "What if I don't make you resign? Would you give up this idea for my sake?"

She emphasized "for my sake," which was tantamount to asking if I had any feelings for her and if she had a chance.

"I..."

I hesitated for a moment before slowly answering, "If that hadn't happened, I really enjoyed spending time with you, and even had some inappropriate thoughts. But... but now, I feel I'm not worthy!"

Although my tone was still firm and self-pitying, I naturally relinquished some of the initiative to her.

"Okay!"

Shen Dan suddenly raised her little face, a hint of coquetry in her voice, and said in a commanding tone, "Then you have to come tonight, I said it!"

"This..."

I was still pretending to hesitate when Shen Dan leaned close to my ear and whispered, "If you don't come tonight, I'll tell Sister Chen Jing about how you bullied me, hmph!"

Her tone was mischievous, as if she wanted to see me helpless against her.

It's okay, since you want to blackmail me, I'll play along and pretend. After she finished speaking, I immediately turned my head and looked at her with a slight displeasure: "You can't..."

Before I could finish speaking, the little girl suddenly stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips to mine, then separated in an instant, immediately turned around and skipped away triumphantly.

Feeling the lingering warmth of her lips, and watching her cunningly successful figure disappear without looking back, I went back into the room. This room, which wasn't very big to begin with, was filled with completely unsuitable bedding that Shen Dan had bought in her self-righteousness, and I couldn't help but smile smugly. Hehe, little sister Shen Dan, it'll be soon, you'll soon become my bedding!
