Chapter 62 Gray Area
-
As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it. The atmosphere suddenly cooled and became tense. She looked up at his face, which was quite indifferent, as if he was suppressing some emotions.
But she wasn't wrong; they weren't a couple. Whether she was telling the truth or lying isn't that important.
After a while, he found a new love and slept with other girls. Her social circle remained the same. Who knows, she might even end up with Feng Yan in the future. This kind of person doesn't necessarily need to be in a relationship; being friends would be quite nice too.
Why change how you treat other people just for a short-lived sexual relationship?
She hesitated for a few seconds, then silently lowered her head and began peeling eggs and eating breakfast.
Shen Yueze stared at her for a moment, then tossed her phone onto the table and slowly said, "With your personality, you're quite likely to develop multiple relationships at the same time. What if you catch some disease outside and bring it back to me?"
"..."
When this came up, she wondered why she didn't mind Chen Jiabai. She said she wasn't a virgin, and he believed her. Even the closest of brothers can't be completely indifferent to such things.
"Then why aren't you worried about Chen Jiabai? Didn't he even look for outsiders?"
"Youyou is not outside."
She was an internet celebrity for a while, but she didn't know how to seduce the big shots, and they wouldn't send her gifts, so she stopped.
Wen Yining actually felt that Youyou was neither the first nor the last. She had seen other girls flirting with her on Chen Jiabai's phone, and she herself couldn't control herself, let alone boys. However, since there was no money transfer, the nature of spending money was different.
"Whether she is or not is not important. What I mean is, you don't mind that I slept with Chen Jiabai."
“You two have clean private lives, what are you worried about? I guess you broke up with quite a few relationships back then because you were afraid of being found out by him.”
"..."
She was convinced by his logic.
Ji Yao received a call from Shen Yueze, so she didn't buy breakfast. She went straight upstairs to the supermarket to buy sanitary napkins. When she came in, the atmosphere in the ward was a bit strange. The two of them didn't say a word, each eating their own food at their own tables, without even looking at each other.
Ji Yao glanced at her, then shook her head helplessly. She guessed they had argued. It was normal for rich young masters to have bad tempers. She didn't ask any more questions, moved a chair over, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reminded her cousin, "This pickled vegetable is a bit spicy, don't eat it."
"I don't taste any spiciness at all."
Ji Yao took out a tablet from her bag. "If you're bored during the day, watch a movie. Don't go out for now."
"Isn't there a wheelchair that my older brother bought? I saw that he was walking around in the second week. It won't even take a month, right? That's too conservative."
"That's prone to poor recovery."
Ji Yao also looked back at the wheelchair by the door, "That wasn't bought by your brother, it was bought by Shen Yueze."
"oh."
She glanced at him and thought it was quite thoughtful; not only was there a wheelchair, but also crutches, the kind where you could put your knees on, so you could get out of bed by yourself.
After finishing his meal, the doctor and nurses came by, and he went out with them.
Once everyone was alone, she realized she hadn't used a sanitary napkin. "Sis, can you help me to the toilet?"
"I still need to get used to the walking stick."
Ji Yao told her to put all her weight on him, "Don't hop on one leg, just bear with it, it'll only be a month, you'll be almost fully recovered in a month."
"When you're not injured, you don't realize how important leg health is."
She washed up, regained some clarity, put on a sanitary napkin, and returned to her hospital bed.
Ji Yao asked gossipily, "Did you and Shen Yueze have a fight?"
She paused for two seconds, then said, "No, that's just his temper."
"By the way, sis, we're not in the kind of relationship you're thinking of."
This time, it was Ji Yao's turn to be caught off guard. "What relationship? Didn't you two say that yourselves?"
"I didn't say it, he just didn't want you and your older brother to overthink it, he's not dating anyone."
Wen Yining didn't really want to talk about it, but she felt that they still had many days to spend together, and if she didn't clarify things, her cousin would have to bring up their fake relationship from time to time.
"Then why are they so attentive to you?"
Wen Yining explained bluntly: "He hopes I recover quickly so he can sleep with me, you get it?"
His mind was only filled with lewd thoughts about her, such as what positions to use and oral techniques. He even said that her oral skills were not good and that he was not satisfied, which meant that he must have tried better ones.
She only needs to stay in the hospital for a few days now, and she should be grateful. Once she's discharged, who knows how many times they'll force her to do it, or what kind of terrible things they'll try.
Ji Yao was still skeptical, and frowned as she took out fruit from the bag. "He's been busy since yesterday, spending money and effort. He arrived at six o'clock this morning and even arranged for you to be transferred to another hospital. He consulted three orthopedic doctors for you."
Wen Yining was not very patient and turned up the volume. The dialogue in the movie was too loud. "That's because you don't understand him."
Ji Yao nodded, but still said, "By the way, he just asked me what I wanted to eat for lunch. He hired a housekeeper to make you calcium supplements."
“I told him I’d eat with him, and he told me not to be shy.”
After a moment of silence, Wen Yining said, "Maybe he's this nice to every girl. You've never seen him like this before."
Anyone who knows Shen Yueze knows how generous he is to Shi Yingmeng.
It's normal that Shi Yingmeng doesn't want to break up; who would be willing to let go of such a handsome meal ticket?
-
Ji Yao brought the person over and continued washing and cutting fruit to give her vitamins.
After a moment of hesitation, she couldn't hold back what she had to say, "So how did you break up with Chen Jiabai? Judging from your tone, you don't seem to like Shen Yueze. On the contrary, you didn't say a bad word about Chen Jiabai. Your brother said that you were the one who broke up with him."
Wen Yining paused in eating the orange, and said perfunctorily, "His family doesn't agree, so we'll have to break up sooner or later."
That's a long story, and it involves the chat history with Feng Yan.
-
At ten o'clock, director Shi Yuheng and senior student Qiao Yin came over together, carrying a fruit basket and pure milk, which were obviously just bought casually from the supermarket downstairs.
After coming in, he clicked his tongue in regret, "I thought you were exaggerating on the phone. Is it really a fracture? You can't move at all?"
Qiao Yin gave an awkward laugh and reminded him to look at the wheelchair and crutches in the ward, "A broken bone is no small matter."
Shi Yuheng leaned on the cane that Shen Yueze had bought for her. "You have to use this to walk during the day?"
"Today is the second day, but I can't just lie down all the time, otherwise my muscles will atrophy. I have to exercise on my own."
Qiao Yin comforted her, "It's a blessing that you didn't hurt your head."
"Well, thankfully it's not very high."
"So what are your plans after that?"
"Let's make a movie, that's all we can do now."
"Yes, we can't do strenuous exercise for a while."
Shi Yuheng took out the purpose of his trip from his bag, "Take a look at my script. I've been bored lately with nothing to do."
She calmly opened the book, but it only contained fragments, not the whole story, so she couldn't tell what kind of story it was. After browsing through two pages, she was most concerned about the content's explicitness.
"A Category III film?"
"There are many types of Category III films. I can only tell you that you don't need to take it too seriously."
Wen Yining was still hesitant. She had met him once before the talent show and thought that the chance of debuting was 100%, so she turned him down. She had seen many adult films, but she only regarded them as a fallback plan.
Shi Yuheng and Qiao Yin didn't think so at all. "What are you worried about? Your boyfriend doesn't agree?"
"I remember you broke up with that rich second-generation boyfriend, right? His family is wealthy, and he treated you okay, but he never helped you in your career."
I am currently single.
"Then there's even less to worry about. I don't think you're a conservative girl at heart."
She didn't deny it; she was indeed very open-minded, but she hesitated because the effort and the reward weren't proportional.
"Do I need to take everything off, not even my underwear?"
Shih Yu-heng: "I can't guarantee that. We'll have to shoot many takes, and we're not sure which one will be used. The scale will be similar to the movies you've seen before, not too outrageous. I don't have any perverse tastes, and I'm not obsessed with shooting nude scenes."
Seeing her hesitation, Qiao Yin also tried to persuade her, "If our facial styles weren't completely different, I wouldn't have recommended this opportunity to you."
"He's met a lot of girls these days, but he's not very satisfied with any of them. It's either their faces or their figures. Yesterday, he found a backup option. She's quite memorable, a little shorter than you, but she knows a lot about the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, you know...?"
She wavered; the regret of not being able to debut through a talent show had to be made up for in another way.
Qiao Yin is my senior, I've known her for several years, she's very reliable and wouldn't cheat or deceive me.
This Shi Yuheng isn't very famous. He used to be a screenwriter, and he was quite talented. He's thirty years old, with a high nose bridge, single eyelids, and an artistic and youthful air. He's kind of handsome, but he doesn't wear his lecherousness on his sleeve. I don't know what he's like in private.
Which award-winning actor or actress hasn't starred in a film with explicit content?
"They don't even mind turning a fake relationship into a real one."
"As long as you become famous, no one cares how you became famous,"
"You don't need to worry about dating. Let me tell you, once you become famous, even if you don't have any redeeming qualities, you'll have countless brainless fans who will adore you and countless rich people who will want to sleep with you."
...
"Just like those male and female celebrities nowadays, not only celebrities, but also mistresses and other mistresses, do rich people not know about their past?"
"Don't they know how many men they've slept with?"
"They like this type, and wouldn't choose a clean-cut girl who's unknown, lacks charm, and doesn't know how to dress."
"This kind of cleanliness is worthless; only the poor care about it."
...
...
Shi Yuheng shifted his gaze to the paused tablet. "The movie you're watching now, she became famous at nineteen by taking off her clothes. Now, a bunch of bosses are lining up, paying high prices, but they can't even get a chance to have a meal with her."
This actress is named Lin Ni. She is also thirty years old. She is charming and alluring, not the most refined, but with the most unique temperament that makes her unforgettable.
Wen Yining thought there was some truth to that, but it depended on the person. For example, Shen Yueze was attracted by his lower body.
Deep down, he still treated her as a plaything.
“You can treat it as a shortcut, but any shortcut means you have to put in more effort in other areas.”
Shih Yu-heng asked her, "Do you dream of becoming famous?"
She admitted, "Yes."
"If you want it enough, you can get it."
"Your face is indeed very suitable for my role as Xiaoying, but I won't wait for you for too long, at most a month."
Shi Yuheng watched her slowly eating kiwis, her face bare of makeup, her eyes filled with melancholy, wearing a loose, shapeless hospital gown, looking slightly haggard.
Even so, it still gives people a striking and stunning impression.
Her tall figure is a perfect match for her face; her waist-to-hip ratio is sexy, not flat-chested.
After Shi Yuheng left, Qiao Yin stayed behind to chat with her. "Although there are very few opportunities in talent shows, getting the lead role like this is like hitting the jackpot."
“He used to be a screenwriter, and screenwriters have a very low status and no say at all.”
“I saw him post it.”
"The film crew was like a strictly hierarchical harem, and I'm not exaggerating at all,"
"Directors with connections are like emperors, while everyone else is like eunuchs or palace maids. Their flattery is more outrageous than anything you've ever seen or experienced in school."
Qiao Yin smiled bitterly, "He said that being a screenwriter was worse than being a male prostitute. The pay was low, the workload was heavy, he would get sick from staying up all night, and he had to listen to the client in everything."
Wen Yining chuckled, "There are many young directors and screenwriters like him who are talented but haven't found their place, right?"
"There are too many to count. No job is easy. Even if you leave the industry and do something else, will it be simple? I'm advising you, although there's a bit of selfishness in it, but more so because I don't want you to miss this opportunity."
Qiao Yin still has many dark sides she wants to complain about, but she can only grow through experience.
"Yes, I understand."
-
Shen Yueze called Aunt Zhang over yesterday and asked her to make some food suitable for people with fractures.
Aunt Zhang was startled and asked worriedly, "Did you break your arm or your leg, Aze?"
He said it wasn't his fracture, and Aunt Zhang was initially skeptical, but after seeing him in person, she was completely relieved.
I made a bunch of supplements to improve my health and calcium intake.
When Shen Yueze arrived at the hospital with the lunchbox, Shi Yuheng and the others hadn't left yet. He glanced at them indifferently, assuming they were just some simp from school who was trying to pursue her but hadn't succeeded yet, and that they were nowhere near as good-looking as Feng Yan.
It doesn't seem to be the type she'd be interested in.
"Who is this?"
Wen Yining explained, "A director."
What films have you made?
Qiao Yin and Shi Yuheng were also sizing him up. Even in the entertainment industry, they rarely encountered such a handsome guy, and they couldn't take their eyes off him for a moment.
Looking him up and down, Shi Yuheng asked, "You're in the industry too, right?"
What do you do?
"I'm making movies now."
Shen Yueze slumped into a chair, showing no intention of entertaining guests, behaving like a spoiled young master, and said in a cold and casual tone: "Want to cast Wen Yining in a play? Where's the script? Let me take a look."
“It’s not very convenient.”
He glanced at Wen Yining and continued, "If there's anything inconvenient, and I think the book is good, I might even invest in it for you."
Investing in film and television is similar to gambling. You might invest in ten films, and if one of them makes money, you can use that money to cover the losses of the other nine. But outsiders will only see the one film that made money.
Shi Yuheng could tell that this was a rich young master. He was wearing a cement gray Rolex and a pair of limited edition sneakers. The lazy and relaxed vibe he exuded clearly indicated that he was a young master who was used to being served by those around him. He even spoke with a commanding tone, as if he had never been rejected by anyone before.
Seeing Wen Yining's guilty and worried expression, he immediately understood...
It's normal for beautiful women to have rich second-generation heirs around them. If that's why they hesitate and are unwilling to film his movies, then he can understand.
However, Shi Yuheng felt that he was just joking and didn't have much money. At his age, a second-generation rich kid wouldn't be able to come up with hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash.
He replied dismissively, "I can only show you a snippet. In fact, many times, even the lead actors don't get to see the complete script."
Shen Yueze took it and slowly flipped through a couple of pages. "What type is it?"
"Art film".
Wen Yining's heart tightened even more. Not wanting him to know that this was a film with explicit content, she quickly said, "He has never invested in such films before. You should go first. I'll contact him again after I'm discharged from the hospital."
"Okay, you can focus on recovering during this time."
She breathed a sigh of relief, relieved that the watch he was wearing today was relatively inexpensive, not some multi-million dollar Richard watch; otherwise, Shi Yuheng would probably have dragged him along to tell him the whole story.
In the two apartments in Zhaoshan, there are many watches displayed in the walk-in closets. The most expensive one is over 20 million, and the cheapest one is over 300,000. However, he probably doesn't care much about the price and only buys the models he likes.
Not the kind of second-generation rich kid who uses luxury goods to show off their status in order to save face.
Shen Yueze asked her, "What did you two talk about?"
She gently blew on the health-preserving soup, which was too hot, but smelled very good. It looked like it had been simmering for a long time. She only told half the truth: "He thinks I am suitable for his leading lady role."
"I'll take any role I want; the contract is no problem."
"oh."
Wen Yining glanced at him but didn't say much. She felt that if he knew what kind of film it was, he probably wouldn't agree.
-
Three days later, he transferred her to another hospital, where the facilities were similar to those in a hotel.
She can now walk on her own with crutches, and there's a place to put her knees. Staying in bed for a long time can easily lead to muscle atrophy. For a lively and active young person like her, she has never experienced lying in bed for more than a day. She feels uncomfortable all over. Going out for a slow walk makes her feel much better.
Wen Yining would occasionally see him in video conferences. He appeared languid but spoke in a serious tone, and was not some idle playboy.
Sometimes they come in the afternoon, sometimes in the morning.
I came over that evening and bought her a watermelon from a roadside vendor.
As soon as someone entered, Wen Yining smelled the refreshing scent of shower gel, which was particularly noticeable and pleasant in the disinfectant-smelling space of the ward.
"Your cousin should go back and rest for a while."
Ji Yao was called back by her boss today, so she told Shen Yueze. Now, she thinks this person is more reliable than Wen Yining's two older brothers.
Wen Yining ate the watermelon he had bought and cut up; it was crisp and sweet. She occasionally glanced at the drizzling rain outside the window. The table was full of snacks she couldn't finish, and her favorite movie was playing on the TV.
For a moment, I felt that the injury wasn't so bad, and that I could accept it.
She asked, "Is my sister coming over tonight?"
"If she doesn't come, I'll stay here."
"Um."
Wen Yining turned to look at him. His gaze was on his laptop. He hadn't finished yet, and his expression was casual. He occasionally tapped a few keys on the keyboard. His black hair was slightly damp, and he was wearing a loose black trendy T-shirt and gray casual pants. He looked like he had just taken a shower.
His legs were lazily spread apart, and that area was quite obvious.
After a while, he closed his laptop, sat down on the edge of her bed, and watched a movie with her.
She moved to the right side of the bed to make room for him. The bed was actually much wider than the dormitory bed, and it could easily accommodate two people.
It's a classic taboo film where the male and female leads both have affairs, and the scenes of their infidelity are filmed with exceptional eroticism.
At the end of the kissing scene in the film, Shen Yueze grasped her neck, moved closer, and kissed her, gently sucking and nibbling at her. It wasn't rough, nor was it as fierce as the previous times.
The bite is a light bite, moist, sticky, lingering, and full of desire.
She didn't flinch at all, but found it even more irresistible than a rough kiss. Perhaps it was because she had been abstaining for a while. At this moment, she really wanted to do it. Her pulse was pounding, her lips and tongue responded, and she wanted to hug him and be touched by him.
The fabric rippled in the shape of his fingers, it felt so good, I wanted more, but then he suddenly pulled his hand away, the kiss continuing.
She found the position of his hand, pulled it back, and placed it in front of her chest, the implication couldn't be clearer.
Shen Yueze's temples throbbed; it was the first time he'd ever seen her so proactive.
As I continued probing, I sensed something was wrong and asked, "Are you on your period?"
She was already aroused and didn't want to pay attention. "It's the fourth day, nothing's wrong."
As she spoke, she nibbled on his neck. It smelled wonderful, and the bite felt incredibly pleasant.
He untied the drawstring of his casual knitwear.
He was getting goosebumps from her, and his hands were stained with blood. "Don't you know you can't do it when you're on your period?"
Shen Yueze thought this was common sense.
She had heard that there would be bad consequences, but in the face of desire, none of that mattered. Her eyes were a little blank. Seeing that he was being so obvious but still holding back, she suddenly stopped and her attitude was quite serious.
He said, puzzled, "It's almost over."
Shen Yueze wasn't much better off than her. He was already aroused, and he still had to educate her, "Going to bed at this time can easily lead to trouble."
She then asked, "Will it be okay if it happens once?"
Shen Yueze suppressed his anger and stared at her for a few seconds. "Why are you acting like you're on drugs?"
This was the first time he had said those words; in the past, it was always she who had doubted him.
Wen Yining didn't know what was going on either. Was it really true, as they said, that once you've experienced true high, you can't quit?

A note from the author:
To explain, from a physiological and medical perspective, during menstruation, including before and after it begins, hormone levels undergo significant changes, making you more... well, you know.
From a psychological perspective, Ning craves companionship more at this time and is more easily moved.
This is probably the only part of his conscience he has for now...
