Chapter 44 The Secretly Passionate Side

-

When Geng Chutong returned to her dormitory that afternoon, she saw Wen Yining there as well. Wen Yining was on her bed with the curtains drawn, and the faint sound of movie dialogue was playing; it seemed to be a forbidden film.

It wasn't very obvious, but Table Mountain had an unfinished takeout order and some snacks.

Geng Chutong recalled seeing Shen Yueze in the classroom that morning; their relationship seemed ambiguous... unlike that of ordinary friends.

Most of them came over because they thought Wen Yining was good-looking.

However, doesn't Shen Yueze have a girlfriend? Or is it Shi Yingmeng?

She just received a message on her phone from Shi Yingmeng that she was coming to visit from a neighboring city during her vacation, so she made a video call to her.

Shi Yingmeng answered the call quickly; the background was a hotel.

Geng Chutong was very enthusiastic, "Mengmeng, I saw you said you were coming to visit, stay for a few days?"

Shi Yingmeng was putting on makeup, her phone on a stand. She was applying eyeliner in front of the mirror, making her delicate features even more alluring. "It's not certain, at least three days. Come find Shen Yueze."

"Hey, how long have you two been dating? Is Shen Yueze good to you?"

Shi Yingmeng paused slightly, not wanting to tell others that the two had broken up, perhaps they could get back together.

Boys at this age all have physical needs, and she really wanted to sleep with him.

However, she guessed that Shen Yueze had a new love interest. It's normal for him to have a new love interest after being separated for a long time, but since he took the initiative to seek reconciliation, it's not impossible that they could get back together.

He replied perfunctorily, "He's quite generous. He's not the kind of young master who only spends money on himself. When we go shopping, he doesn't even look at the price of things worth tens of thousands of yuan. There are quite a few people who pursue me in my school, but not many are as generous as him."

“Many rich kids are actually very stingy. The last one I dated was incredibly stingy,” Geng Chutong complained. “I paid for everything when we went out to eat. Oh, and I even had to pay for the gas when I rode in his car. I was really fed up. He said his family was strict and there was a limit to his spending.”

Shi Yingmeng smiled and said, "Shen Yueze is not that kind of person."

When I first got together with him, I didn't think this far ahead.

He was young, and we didn't know his family situation. When the boys in his class were chatting, they talked about how much his shoes cost, how much his watch cost, and what neighborhood he lived in, saying that the neighborhood was full of rich people.

Geng Chutong leaned back in her chair, eating potato chips, and glanced up at Wen Yining's bed. Although the curtains were drawn, she wasn't wearing headphones, so she could obviously hear the conversation.

She deliberately said, "Hey, I ran into Shen Yueze today. He came to our school. He's really tall and handsome. He came to see my roommate, the one named Wen Yining."

“I told you before, she is quite pretty, tall and thin. Then the three of them were in the dormitory and said that I got in through connections, that I didn’t finish military training, and that I went home to play for a few months. They posted it online, and that’s how this matter became a big deal.”

Shi Yingmeng was pondering how to get back together with Shen Yueze and didn't really want to talk to this fake best friend she met online. But as soon as she heard Shen Yueze's name, her attention was drawn to him, her expression turned sour, and she immediately asked, "Do the two of them often hang out together?"

"Maybe, I don't know, but Wen Yining is very good at seducing boys, and she receives luxury goods from them from time to time."

There are a lot of beautiful girls at this school, but someone like Geng Chutong, who got in through connections, cheated on the art exam, and has an average appearance, can't experience how popular top beauties are.

In addition, Wen Yining was liked by both male and female teachers.

She even once thought that Wen Yining had slept with her teacher.

Shi Yingmeng's expression stiffened, and she became agitated. A bitter feeling slowly welled up inside her. She knew that there was a huge gap between her family background and Shen Yueze's, and she had no intention of developing a long-term relationship with him.

She took the initiative to pursue him, thinking that it would be worth it no matter how long they could be together.

But he had too many women around him, and they got tired of him faster than she had expected. The worst feeling was that after a short month of luxurious living, she was brought back to reality.

Shi Yingmeng's expression changed slightly as she suppressed her gloomy emotions. "It seems your roommate is quite good-looking."

"Um,"

Geng Chutong thought for a moment and continued, "You know, our school used to have a lot of gossip that made it to the trending topics. His nickname was Hou Mouping from Beijing Film Academy."

"Male teachers are making female students sleep with them, and some are even giving students to their superiors; there's a power-for-sex industry chain,"

"By the way, other schools have this 'academic Daji' thing going on, and we have something similar here..."

Wen Yining listened to every word from her small bed, intending to wait until she finished her call before arguing.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Tingdu abruptly flung open the curtain. "Geng Chutong, are you ever going to stop? Didn't the three of us already explain? Your dropping out of school had absolutely nothing to do with us. We don't even know who posted it online!"

"There are so many people in the school, it's not just the three of us who have heard about it. Dai Anning also learned about it from others. Please stop spreading rumors."

Geng Chutong hurriedly hung up the video call, her expression one of annoyance and speechlessness. "I didn't suspect you at first, but the three of you said I deserved it because I'm not good-looking. Who knows what you've been talking about behind my back?"

Wen Yining was speechless for a moment, her hands gripping the railing, her chest heaving, her emotions ignited.

But that's true. Lou Xinyue said that the two of them had a bit of a disagreement right after the start of the semester.

This school prioritizes appearance above all else; the more you dislike someone, the more their flaws are magnified.

Today, since the other two were not around, Geng Chutong was able to confront her directly. Normally, one person could not win an argument with three people.

Wen Yining stared at her, "And you, you're not much better. You've said a lot of bad things about me, haven't you? Like how I always carry condoms in my bag and often go out to hotels at night, you said that, didn't you?"

Only roommates would know the truth about this.

Geng Chutong's expression changed. Embarrassed by being exposed, she tried to remain calm and denied it, saying, "It's not like you haven't slept with other guys before, and I'm not the only one who knows."

Wen Yining paused, really not wanting to explain whether she had slept with anyone or not.

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll really post about your cheating on the art exam online.”

She then drew the curtains, started changing her clothes, came downstairs, slung her bag over her shoulder, closed the door, and went out.

-

Actually, she had been wanting to rent a place outside since last year.

After looking around the neighborhood, the rents were all too high, far from enough to cover living expenses. If I rented a place, I would have to tighten my belt on food and clothing, and my quality of life would seriously decline.

She considered sharing an apartment, which was cheaper, but she didn't like the accommodation conditions. Besides, she had classes in the morning and it would take time to get there. Staying at school would allow her to sleep in longer, so she eventually gave up on that idea.

I went to the supermarket and bought some fruit and snacks.

When I was paying the bill, I received a message from Chen Jiabai asking me where she wanted to go for summer vacation.

She hesitated for a moment, remembering the increasingly awkward relationship in the dormitory, and sent Chen Jiabai a message: 【I'm not going out.】

I've been coming back to the dorm quite late lately, which might disturb my roommates. I remember you mentioned you had a vacant apartment; could I rent it to you? But I don't have much money for living expenses, so could you offer a discount?

That's what she said, but she felt that Chen Jiabai wouldn't ask for rent anymore.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the other party replied, "No problem, it's just sitting empty anyway, no need to pay. When are you planning to move in?"

As Wen Yining expected, she replied, "When are you free?"

"Today is fine. You pack your things first, and I'll pick you up later."

【good. 】

After replying to the message, Wen Yining felt much lighter on the way back, the pent-up frustration in her chest completely gone.

It doesn't matter whether Chen Jiabai lives with someone or not. Even though sleeping together comes at the cost of having a place to live, she's willing to accept it, as it's a good opportunity to settle down.

The fact that they hadn't yet developed a close relationship made her feel a little insecure.

Boys of this age all have physiological needs; if they don't seek her out, they'll most likely go to someone else.

So when the girl named Little Cat added her on WeChat and sent her a bunch of photos of them in bed, her instinctive reaction was to believe her.

Her sexual awakening actually started very early; she learned about it from her second brother.

Wen Yichuan was seven years older than her. When she was still in junior high school, at an age when she hadn't even seen a movie, she bumped into Wen Yichuan and his girlfriend in the act.

Right on the sofa in the living room at home,

She came out of her room and, without warning, stumbled upon the scene. Her mind went blank for a few seconds, but her instinctive reaction was curiosity. She stood there instead of leaving immediately, quickly scanning the details of the scene.

The girl sat on Wen Yichuan's lap, her expression a mixture of pain and pleasure, but Wen Yichuan was completely obscured by the sofa back.

That was only the first time.

In high school, she became more knowledgeable. When Wen Yichuan went home for holidays and stayed next door to her, he would occasionally bring his girlfriend over to stay overnight.

If you're awake late at night, you can faintly hear a girl's moans.

After choosing this major, I need to browse a lot of movies and analyze them, including many explicit Category III films. These films are more aesthetically pleasing and subtle than adult films, yet still very erotic.

It's not crude or disgusting; the male lead is usually good-looking. From domestic to international films, from taboo and immoral to the utterly shameless, I've seen more than 50 films in this broad category alone.

Therefore, I am not against this aspect, but rather have a beautified impression from movies and TV shows.

Back in the dorm, I was in a hurry to leave and didn't take a large suitcase.

Pack your toiletries, underwear, cosmetics, and a few summer clothes in a large backpack.

Just in case, if Chen Jiabai is willing to let her stay a little longer, it's not too late to bring other things.

The apartment wasn't far from the school. Chen Jiabai took her upstairs in the elevator, registered her fingerprint, and casually mentioned, "This complex has an indoor heated swimming pool, a gym, and a yoga room."

She surveyed the large apartment, over 700 square meters, with 270-degree floor-to-ceiling windows. The decor wasn't extravagant, but the furniture was definitely high-quality.

The whole house is equipped with a smart system, even the curtains are electric, and it is extremely clean. Everything is neatly arranged, and there are few signs that anyone has lived there. However, it has all the small items and is filled with a faint woody fragrance.

The area was much larger than she had imagined. "Do I need a membership card to go swimming?"

Chen Jiabai: "I forgot, I'll ask about it later."

"One apartment per floor, no neighbors, but you still have to lock the door at night."

"Um,"

Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to stay, Wen Yining asked, somewhat puzzled, "Don't you live here?"

Chen Jiabai understood what she meant, but still said, "I'm too busy today, let's do it another day."

He really didn't have time. The timing was right, but he had just returned to the company and couldn't finish in half an hour. He didn't want the first time to happen so hastily, so he brought her over, said a few words, and left.

-

Completely exhausted, I didn't explore the other rooms much, and went to the bathroom with my own shower gel and shampoo.

The master bedroom's bathroom has a style somewhat similar to that of a hotel.

The glass is completely transparent, the bathtub is for two people, the bath towels are neatly folded, and a complete set of toiletries is laid out, already unpacked.

Hotels have a lot of bathrooms with completely transparent glass panels, while private residences don't have that many.

The shower area is separated into wet and dry sections, with only the shower room being transparent.

There's not much privacy when showering.

Even though I live alone, I still feel ashamed.

If this is the style Chen Jiabai chose, then it means that he also has a repressed and passionate side...?

I didn't need to remove my makeup. I just took a quick shower and was so tired that I went to bed to rest.

After plugging in the charger, the silver necklace on the bedside table inevitably came into view.

It's the same brand as the one Shen Yueze wore once.

But I don't remember Chen Jiabai wearing this. Was it given to Chen Jiabai, or did Shen Yueze also sleep in this master bedroom, on this bed...?

Logically speaking, necklaces worn to match clothes are usually taken off before going to bed at night, as they are personal items.

A note from the author:

This is Shen Yueze's large, single-level apartment; he's found another opportunity...

We're almost at a turning point.

Another thing is that Chen Jiabai doesn't love Ning; it's purely a matter of novelty. He finds her face and figure to be to his liking, and besides, she's not difficult or troublesome, so he can control her a bit.

(The Ning family wasn't well-off, so they were definitely in a lower position; they all subconsciously thought so (including Shen Yueze). The one who paid was the boss, and if they argued, they could take back the money and gain the upper hand.)

But actually, even if I chose him, I had no feelings for him.

Moreover, she was already attracted to Shen Yueze (it was also a physical attraction), but she still had her rationality for the time being.
