Zhai Qiaoyun was toyed with by Li Hongwei for nearly two hours until it was completely dark and the educated youth settlement was about to lock up. She staggered back.

Clutching her collar tightly, Zhai Qiaoyun immediately grabbed her toiletries and rushed into the bathroom upon returning to the educated youth settlement.

She kept wiping herself with a towel and soap, and looking at the unsightly red marks, Zhai Qiaoyun shed tears of regret.

In the end, her attempt to negotiate with a tiger for its skin backfired, and she felt utterly filthy. Recalling the scenes of her being pleasured by Li Hongwei, even though they didn't go all the way, she still felt disgusted.

"Ugh...ugh...waaaah...waaah..."

In the bathroom, Zhai Qiaoyun squatted on the floor, burying her head in her knees, sobbing incessantly like a wounded little animal, helpless and pitiful.

But none of this is anyone's fault; she can only blame herself for taking the wrong path.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was evening for the dinner party.

Holding her wine glass, Zhai Qiaoyun, contrary to her usual behavior, humbled herself and apologized to Jiang Xile for her previous impolite conduct.

Seeing the scheming in Zhai Qiaoyun's eyes, Jiang Xile frowned slightly, her face calm and collected, but inwardly she was already on guard.

Tonight's dinner was very plentiful: stewed preserved duck and sausage with potatoes, stewed cabbage and radish with pork, stir-fried eggs with chives and dried shrimp, and large steamed buns made from two kinds of dough.

Everyone in the educated youth settlement had a satisfied smile on their face. All the previous minor frictions and misunderstandings were swept away in the face of delicious food.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they spontaneously put on a show, some singing, some dancing, and some reciting poetry, creating a lively atmosphere.

Just then, Zhai Qiaoyun, under the pretext of needing a favor, pleaded with Jiang Xile to be taken to the riverbank.

Although she knew it was a trap, Jiang Xile still cooperated and followed along. As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained.

She wanted to see what Zhai Qiaoyun was really up to!

Finally, they arrived at the riverbank. As they passed through the woods, Jiang Xile keenly sensed that others were hiding there.

She stopped in her tracks, pondering Zhai Qiaoyun's purpose.

"Why...why have you stopped?"

Seeing Jiang Xile stop, Zhai Qiaoyun's heart pounded with nervousness, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

"Just say what you have to say here, there's no one else here anyway!"

"Let's sit on the big rock by the river and talk. Standing here is tiring!"

Riverside...big rock...woods...people hiding...

As Jiang Xile muttered these places, she suddenly seemed to have guessed something.

She looked sharply at Zhai Qiaoyun, never expecting that this person would harbor such a vicious intention.

Suddenly, she seemed to no longer want to continue pretending with her.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then I'll go back. After all, given our relationship, I don't think you have anything I can help you with!"

"Jiang Xile!"

Seeing Jiang Xile turn to leave, Zhai Qiaoyun suddenly raised her voice and called out to her.

As Jiang Xile stopped and turned to look at Zhai Qiaoyun, she naturally heard footsteps coming from the woods.

With her keen senses, she could easily determine the gender of the person from the sound of their footsteps.

"What are you calling me for! I don't care what tricks you're up to, but I'll give you one last piece of advice: stop your foolish actions before I lose my temper, or you'll face the consequences!"

Jiang Xile warned Zhai Qiaoyun somewhat impatiently. Originally, it was just a matter of a few words between the two, and she did not want to push things to the brink.

"Jiang Xile, what right do you have to act like this? You were the one who seduced Brother Wenbin first, otherwise why would he protect you so much? You shameless woman!"

"They're really courting death!"

Jiang Xile stepped forward and slapped Zhai Qiaoyun across the face.

"Ah! How dare you hit me!"

"Smack!"

Jiang Xile raised her hand and slapped him.

"So what if I hit you? Do I need to pick a day to hit you? I didn't want to talk to you in the first place, but you asked for it."

You're so pathetic, you're practically begging Qiu Wenbin to take you for granted, and now you're coming to me looking for attention.

What you crave is of no value to me, and I have absolutely no interest in Qiu Wenbin.

Zhai Qiaoyun covered her face, looking at Jiang Xile with hatred.

"You're lying! It's because you deliberately seduced Wenbin that he was so heartless towards me. If it weren't for you..."

"Even without me, Qiu Wenbin wouldn't like you. If he could really like you, he would have already, wouldn't he?"

"That's not true! You're talking nonsense! If it weren't for you, Brother Wenbin would definitely have fallen in love with me!"

"He's hopeless!"

Jiang Xile rolled her eyes and decided to leave. She really didn't want to say another word to this love-struck idiot.

"You'd better watch yourself; I don't want to waste my time on you!"

Seeing Jiang Xile turn to leave, Zhai Qiaoyun became furious and immediately rushed over to stop her.

Caught off guard, Jiang Xile's wrist was grabbed, and she frowned in disgust, her eyes filled with annoyance.

"open!"

"I won't let go!"

Zhai Qiaoyun tried to pull Jiang Xile toward the river, but Jiang Xile, who had already guessed her intentions, would not let her drag her.

"ah!"

"Let...let go..."

Jiang Xile grabbed Zhai Qiaoyun's wrist with her other hand, forcing her to let go.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Jiang Xile moved even more forcefully.

"Don't pull me anymore, or I'll break your arm!"
