An overwhelming sense of loss weighed him down, making it hard to breathe. Only when he saw Shu Ying's photo could he find a moment of peace.

The scenery outside the car window kept changing. He lowered his head and kissed his pocket watch. Only when he saw this girl did he feel like a real person and that he still had a goal.

He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I really hope to see you soon."

Shu Ying finally woke up around noon. She had planned to go to bed early last night, but things didn't go as planned.

She didn't even have time to go to the hospital with Huang Meiling and Song Zhaodi.

She lay in bed, one hand shielding her eyes from the intense sunlight streaming in. Looking at her eyelids, she inexplicably felt a chill run down her spine.

This discomfort made her restless. Looking at the silk pajamas hanging down her body, Shu Ying propped herself up on the bed with one hand and sat up.

With the slightest movement, she felt pain in her lower back, and even her limbs felt weak. She didn't know which muscle in her back was affected, but her entire lower back ached.

Shu Ying could only gently rub her lower back with one hand; the stiffness caused by excessive muscle tension made her very uncomfortable.

"That despicable Xie Zhiyan! He even said he respected my opinion, but I think he's clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing. He's utterly despicable!"

Thinking about what happened last night, Shu Ying cursed Xie Zhiyan under her breath.

Once this person is in bed, it's as if they're not the same person as usual. They initially promised to be gentle and could stop at any time, but later they completely lose control.

Shu Ying even felt that the more pitifully she begged for mercy, the more excited he became.

In the end, Shu Ying was completely drained of her last bit of strength, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her hand.

She couldn't use her hands properly, and the soreness in her lower back hadn't eased much.

Thinking that last night was rather rushed and Xie Zhiyan hadn't even applied for additional family planning supplies, Shu Ying covered her head with a pillow.

She had heard some of her sisters-in-law mention it before; that kind of thing usually only comes in three to five times a month. Thinking about the intense battle between the two of them last night, Shu Ying's face turned so red it could almost boil an egg.

Even if we consider five at the highest standard, where would Xie Zhiyan be able to find a place to use them?

Shu Ying gently patted her face with one hand, trying to cool it down a bit. "I still need to remind Xie Zhiyan to be more restrained!"

She couldn't handle this kind of ordeal every day.

It was supposed to be a two-person activity, but Xie Zhiyan woke up refreshed and went to work in the morning, while she had to sleep alone in the room for so long before she could barely recover.

Thinking that Huang Meiling and Song Zhaodi were both at home last night, Shu Ying felt as if her whole body was on fire.

She secretly regretted not sticking to her principles. She had actually agreed because she felt sorry for Xie Zhiyan.

Now she can already imagine what kind of look Huang Meiling will give her when she goes downstairs.
