Chapter 52: Maintaining this relationship
-
Ye Qingchi's girlfriend was named Ling Ling. She was very clean-looking and sat quietly to the side, watching them tell dirty jokes, play cards, and play billiards, without interrupting.
The girlfriends of the other guys were more proactive, constantly flirting and making suggestive noises. They were particularly skilled at being affectionate. It's not unusual for couples at this stage to do anything. They haven't been dating for very long. Back in high school, their families were strict and didn't allow them to go out to hotels and date too early. Now they've completely let go. The guys who were studying abroad have also come back for the holidays.
"Let's go here next time! I've seen it online so many times."
No problem. Xie Yuchen leaned closer for the girl to kiss him, and the girl naturally kissed him in return.
The two were wearing matching shoes and bracelets. The girl's calves were draped over Xie Yuchen's thighs, swaying leisurely.
Shen Yueze played two rounds of billiards by himself, but the more he played, the less interesting it became. He listened to their movements with one ear and let them go with the other. He took a sip of whiskey, glanced at his watch, and saw that it was only ten o'clock. Wen Yining was still awake at this hour.
I guess she's taking a shower.
If he couldn't hear the lewd jokes from this group of people, he could endure it for one night. They all had partners in their arms, and those who weren't with their partners had only recently broken up. Their gap period was usually not too long, and they were all living more indulgent lives than him.
Shen Yueze asked Xie Yuchen, "I remember you also know Wen Yining's second brother."
"yes."
"Make him call the person out."
Xie Yuchen ate the cantaloupe his girlfriend fed him, then picked up his phone and mumbled, "What are you doing? Who's looking for Wen Yining? Is Chen Jiabai coming too?"
"Don't tell anyone I'm here."
Xie Yuchen didn't understand. She glanced at his expressionless face, feeling bored and not very interested, but she still did as he said.
"Oh right, did she break up with Chen Jiabai? Is Chen Jiabai back now? I haven't seen him in ages."
Shen Yueze: "We broke up."
What he's worried about now isn't that the two of them got back together; they weren't deeply in love yet, and they could easily break up again with a little manipulation.
Instead, she was thinking that once she got to school, if people knew she was single, how many of them would have designs on her?
I haven't finished reading the chat history yet, but just by looking at the explicit content, you can tell how open-minded she is.

School.
Wen Yining bought some food at the cafeteria that evening, ate, and prepared to return to her dormitory.
On my way back from my walk, with earphones in my ears, I ran into a couple from my class.
When the two met her, they glanced at her a few more times, greeted each other, and then whispered among themselves. As they walked, they couldn't help but turn back to admire her figure.
She frowned inexplicably and glanced down at her clothes for the day. They were just ordinary short-sleeved shirts and casual pants, nothing special. She hadn't even put on makeup. She didn't know what was there to see. They were probably gossiping about something, but that was none of her business.
She changed the song in her headphones, her expression relaxed, and unconsciously thought that Shen Yueze hadn't bothered her for two days.
Perhaps she's found someone new.
Maybe I'll lose interest after I sleep with it...
...
The marks on my body have mostly faded, and my lower body seems to have recovered as well; it doesn't hurt anymore, which was quite fast.
He even asked her, "Does it really hurt that much?"
He was skeptical; someone who had had sex before shouldn't experience pain.
In general, it usually takes at least ten or so times to completely stop the pain.
On her way upstairs, she received another message from Feng Yan, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time: "Your roommate said you're pregnant, is it true? Wen Yining, don't give up on yourself. Even if you broke up with Chen Jiabai, you can't just sleep with any other guy."
? ?
Who said I've given up on myself?
[Geng Chutong said this, so are you pregnant or not?]
【No. 】
Wen Yining was completely stunned when she saw the message; she couldn't understand what could have caused Geng Chutong to misunderstand to this extent.
No wonder two classmates on the street were observing her with curious eyes. It wasn't malicious, but it was still a bit uncomfortable. They probably wanted to ask her something but were too embarrassed to ask.
When she returned to the dorm, the other two weren't there; only Geng Chutong was playing games with her legs crossed, not even looking at Wen Yining, and her microphone was still on.
The voice on the other end was that of a boy, also from the school. This boy was willing to play with someone like Geng Chutong, who wasn't very skilled, mainly because she was Wen Yining's roommate.
She also subtly inquired about Wen Yining's relationship with her ex-boyfriend.
When Geng Chutong heard that the handsome guy was only paying attention to his roommate, she got a little annoyed. "She's back now, why don't you go ask her yourself?"
The boy gave an awkward smile, "They don't really pay attention to me."
However, Wen Yining didn't know this person at all, so she ignored him and went straight to the point, "When did I get pregnant? You told me, didn't you?"
Geng Chutong panicked for a moment and immediately quit the game, asking, "Who told you that?"
"Who did you tell?"
"Anyone could see all those pregnancy supplements on your table. It's not just me saying it; it could be the two of them."
"Stop pretending, okay?"
Wen Yining was so angry that she couldn't breathe properly, and her tone was very sharp, "Who else is so free besides you? What good would it do you? If you had just said it to my face, that would have been fine, but you deliberately spread rumors in front of the boys, didn't you?"
Geng Chutong also jumped up from her chair, showing no intention of bowing her head. "You've stayed out all night so many times, and you even broke up with your boyfriend. My guess is quite reasonable, isn't it? If it's false, why are you angry? If it's true, there's even less reason for it."
After saying that, he left the dormitory with his phone.
Wen Yining tried to call out to her, but she had run off too fast and didn't even apologize. It took her a while to calm down.
Speechless, I returned to my seat, where there was a pile of blood-replenishing items in front of me, including food and drinks.
Shen Yueze bought all of these for her. She's been staying up late and doing intense training lately, so taking these blood-nourishing supplements has been very helpful. But these aren't just for pregnant women.
...
...
After taking a shower and drying her hair, she got into her small bed. She didn't go back to Shen Yueze's large apartment, nor did she bring back all her daily necessities.
After watching a film starring an internationally acclaimed actress, I found a bunch of interviews in the recommended videos, so I randomly clicked on one.
It's an interview.
The actress sat opposite the host, reminiscing about her past before she became famous and sharing her little-known experiences at the dance academy.
"I can't accept that environment."
...
"I don't really like nagging and bickering. Girls often have this kind of friction, and later I got under too much pressure, so I ran away."
...
I want to live in a very simple environment. I hope everyone is like me—simple, speak their mind, and not tattle on others to the teachers.
Her phone, which was charging nearby, vibrated. It was Wen Yichuan calling. She sighed, not really wanting to answer. This man had been trying to persuade her to get back together with Chen Jiabai lately.
She was convinced that after leaving Chen Jiabai, the young master of the powerful and wealthy circle, she would never meet someone as good as him again.
Chen Jiabai didn't actually feel much regret. Her parents said it was fine for the two of them to be together, but they would have to live abroad.
Going abroad also meant that her dream of becoming an actress was almost impossible, and his half-finished dream of starting a game business was also shattered.
Parents, of course, know how to handle their sons.
They've broken up amicably.
But if she sues for peace, Chen Jiabai will agree to continue.
If we don't seek peace, this is probably how things will end.
Logically speaking, she should feel it wasn't worth it, since she spent a lot of energy and time, but there weren't many ups and downs.
After the call connected, there was a whooshing sound of night wind on Wen Yichuan's end. "You're at school, right? Come out for a bit."
"What are you doing?"
She was still a bit depressed, very aloof, and didn't want to move. "I'm going to sleep soon. If you need anything, just say so."
"It's Saturday tomorrow, why are you sleeping so early? I'm going out to play with you."
Wen Yichuan drove to her school gate, guessing that Chen Jiabai was also at that club, and was still thinking of bringing them back together.
Wen Yining asked, "Who's here?"
"It's your sister-in-law, and a few of my buddies. Come out here right now, I'm at your door."
Wen Yining thought of her increasingly depleted wallet, "Transfer some money to me first, otherwise I won't go."
Wen Yichuan grumbled as he transferred two thousand yuan, not forgetting to sarcastically remark, "Look at you, you don't even have enough money to spend after the breakup."
As she climbed down the ladder, she suddenly regretted not taking Shen Yueze's money.
A allowance of 50,000 yuan.
“Chen Jiabai won’t transfer money to me directly, okay? He only sends gifts. He thinks transferring money is too tacky and unoriginal.”
But she likes this method the most.
"Sell the stuff."
"Not yet."
She changed into a random outfit, didn't put on makeup, and only took her phone as she came out through a side door.
Wen Yichuan called her name from inside the car. Looking at his unusually energetic demeanor in the evenings, she felt a surge of exasperation.
He's just a hustler in the nightlife scene, with no business sense whatsoever. He's lost a lot of money and has already mortgaged two of his houses.
When asked where to go for fun, where to drink, or where to find friends, he knows better than anyone else.
Wen Yichuan looked at her plain appearance and said, "Why don't you dress up a bit?"
"You want to introduce me to guys? Forget it, the people you know are all pretty much like you, good for nothing."
To save time, she wore a short skirt with a tank top and a jacket; the tank top even had built-in bra pads.
Wen Yichuan got angry just thinking about it. "You didn't like the person I introduced you to, and you even complained that I tricked you."
She gazed out the window, lost in thought, and muttered to herself, "They're dating two people at the same time."
"High society is full of low-class people."
"You may not like it, but plenty of other people do."
Wen Yining felt that this first sentence was meant to describe Shen Yueze.
...
/
When she entered the club's private room, it was very lively. She was quite out of sorts and wouldn't have come out if she hadn't taken the opportunity to rip off Wen Yichuan. She looked around, raised her hand to brush her long, disheveled hair aside; it was very fluffy after being blow-dried and occasionally blocked her vision.
Her wrists were very thin, and her whole body was slender. Even the loose-fitting coat she wore couldn't hide her slim figure. Her legs were shapely, long, and dazzlingly white.
She heard a familiar voice, Ye Qingchi called her, and greeted her warmly. Her attention didn't shift to the side or behind her, and she didn't see the familiar figure sitting on the sofa.
Shen Yueze shuffled the cards casually, not looking at them, his gaze fixed on her, slowly moving down. The dress looked familiar, it was the same one. The bruises on her legs were gone, she had recovered quite quickly.
Lee Hi, sitting next to him, was shuffling the cards, repeating it several times, "Is that enough? Deal the cards."
Then, following his gaze, I looked at the girl who had just entered. She was very beautiful and thin, and she was replying to someone else.
Shen Yueze was actually quite indifferent to these games; he had simply been out for too long and had to be called out several times by Ye Qingchi. Now, he casually tossed aside the shuffled cards on his phone and got up.
Wen Yining was about to look for her unreliable second brother when she turned around and saw the person she was entangled with. Her expression froze for a moment.
Shen Yueze asked, "Just finished showering?"
"Um."
She also applied body lotion today, a coconut milk rose scent, and her clothes are now tinged with that fragrance.
He unconsciously wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to himself; the movement was not really under his conscious control.
Wen Yining dodged to the side, pushing against his chest, "What are you doing..."
At the same time, I nervously observed the reactions of those around me—
Sure enough, almost everyone stared at them curiously, their faces full of inquiry, as if to say, "Wasn't this girl the one Chen Jiabai was planning to marry just last week? How come she's already so ambiguous with her boyfriend's best friend in just two days? This girl has a story..."
Shen Yueze failed to hug her as he wished, so he was in a bad mood and said in a rather unpleasant tone, "Go play somewhere else."
Although the group was curious, they wisely kept quiet and didn't ask anything. Ye Qingchi shook his head and smiled meaningfully.
He said, "I'll teach you how to play."
"I don't want to learn."
He stared at her. "It's quite simple."
There are other places here, but none of them offer an opportunity to gain an advantage at close range.
He led me into a quiet private room.
He said, "You two broke up."
The statement is declarative, without any emotional fluctuation, as if it were expected.
"Yes, are you satisfied now?"
"You're the culprit."
Wen Yining felt that every time she saw him, his clothes and shoes were different. Today he was wearing a pair of gray shorts, a white T-shirt, and a pair of limited edition sneakers, all brand new. She had wondered why his shoes always looked new; he couldn't possibly wear them only once.
He asked slowly, "You didn't seem to be regretting it when you were in bed that day." He poured her a glass of fruit wine.
She didn't regret it, but didn't want to show it; her expression was indifferent, and she didn't reply to anything.
He asked, "Aren't you thinking about finding the next one?"
"I'm not looking anymore."
She's really not in the mood lately, and she's stopped saying the opposite of what she means.
"There are guys at your school who are just waiting for you to break up with them, aren't they?"
"I don't know any of them."
He paused, then asked, "How did you know?"
He continued, "If you don't want to talk, how about we just stay in bed together?"

A note from the author:
1. From the internet
Actually, there's a very important point: when he first threatened Ning and she went to his house, she didn't resist; she was just saying one thing but meaning another.
I never expected to break up with Chen, but now that we've actually broken up, I don't regret it.
Humans are inherently fickle.
She had a physical attraction to Shen Yueze, and it made her very dominant; he wasn't bad at it either.
A girl with feminine charm, a woman with a youthful spirit.
A boy with masculinity, a man with a youthful spirit
These four types of people are extremely attractive to the opposite sex.
From the internet
I think it fits perfectly. First of all, Shen Yueze is a very aggressive person and does not have a very gentle temperament. Aggressiveness is the key to sexual tension.
But every trait has its advantages and disadvantages. She is inherently attracted to this kind of temperament, but at the same time, she feels it is too assertive and makes her feel insecure (far less predictable than Chen Jiabai's personality).
