"I can help you!" a voice came from the darkness.
Pan Xin was returning home from evening self-study when she heard a voice at the entrance of her building downstairs.
She stopped and looked around.
A boy's figure emerged from the darkness.
“You are Chu…” Pan Xin paused, unable to recall his name.
"My name is Chu Xiang. I know you like Xu Huan. Maybe I can help you get him."
Pan Xin looked at him incredulously, remained silent for a long time, and then asked with some curiosity:
"So... what do you want?"
She raised her voice slightly and said in a colder tone:
"I do like Xu Huan. You're willing to help me, but you don't mean you want me to be your girlfriend, do you? That's impossible."
"My boyfriend can only be Xu Huan. You are not good enough."
Chu Xiang's eyes darkened as he tried to hide his humility:
“I know all this, and I’m not stupid enough to try and compete with Xu Huan for it. I love you, and given my current circumstances, it’s natural that you don’t look down on me, but…”
Chu Xiang's eyes flashed: "I want to be your shadow lover..."
After saying that, he took a few steps closer: "When you are lonely, think of me; when I need you, keep me company."
"Is it okay?" Chu Xiang gently leaned close to her ear and asked, inhaling the fragrance of her body.
Such close proximity and such bold, ambiguous behavior did not offend her; on the contrary, it brought her a sense of pleasure.
Pan Xin was also startled by this feeling; she realized that she actually liked him a little deep down.
When she first looked at Chu Xiang and examined his appearance closely, she realized that he was not bad-looking at all.
He is of above-average height, with well-proportioned muscles and a slender figure.
Although he was dressed plainly, his melancholy eyes gave him an air of nobility, and he had the air of a young nobleman.
Overall, it's quite pleasing to the eye.
Pan Xin composed herself, reached out and took Chu Xiang's hand, and walked into the shadows where he had just been hiding.
A seductive smile played on her lips as she tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek.
Is this considered a pledge of allegiance?
“That doesn’t count.” Chu Xiang wrapped his arms around Pan Xin and hugged her tightly, making it impossible for her to break free.
Then he leaned down and forcefully kissed her lips...
He teased her and sucked on her until she couldn't breathe before letting go.
Looking at Pan Xin's flushed cheeks, he smirked and left with great satisfaction.
About a week later, rumors began to circulate at the school that Shen Yishu, a student in Class 2 of the third year of high school, had been raped on her way home from evening self-study.
When the police investigated the case, they retrieved recent surveillance footage and found that Xu Huan was a prime suspect because he had been silently watching Shen Yishu.
He was quickly taken to the police station for questioning, and rumors began to spread like wildfire.
A few days later, Xu Huan was released, but he seemed to have lost his soul.
A month later, Shen Yishu committed suicide by jumping off a building due to a mental breakdown.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pan Xin tried to get close to Xu Huan several times, but he was like a walking corpse, unable to hear anyone speak or respond at all.
Not long after, he dropped out of school...
Pan Xin was at a loss and tried everything but failed to win Xu Huan's heart.
Pan Xin regretfully realized that even if she eliminated Shen Yishu, she would still have no chance.
At this moment, she had a vague idea that Chu Xiang was the one who did everything.
She was even a little worried that Chu Xiang would get entangled with her because of this.
He wisely continued his studies and life as usual, without any changes, and never contacted Pan Xin again.
This relationship continued until after the college entrance examination...
Chu Xiang was admitted to a 211 university as he wished.
Pan Xin's grades were average, so her family arranged for her to study abroad.
On the day Pan Xin went to karaoke with her best friend during the summer vacation, Chu Xiang appeared when the party was about to end.
He quietly walked into the private room and casually sat down next to Pan Xin. With just this one step, Pan Xin already understood.
More than half a year later, that kiss still makes her yearn for it when she occasionally recalls it.
Chu Xiang appeared this time dressed impeccably, a far cry from his previous shabby appearance. As he was about to enter university, he seemed to have matured overnight.
His well-proportioned arm muscles and slender figure drew frequent glances from the girls present.
His slightly altered hairstyle further accentuated his outstanding temperament; he had clearly come prepared.
Chu Xiang's change pleased Pan Xin greatly. She hadn't expected the poor boy to have such manners, and he wasn't much inferior to Xu Huan.
The two tacitly agreed to check into a hotel after the party.
After a passionate, deep kiss, Chu Xiang and Pan Xin were already lying in bed.
This wasn't the first time for either of them, but Chu Xiang's slightly trembling hands still betrayed his excitement.
The unattainable white moonlight is finally going to belong to me.
His first time was a "pledge of allegiance," offering no real experience whatsoever; the purpose was simply to humiliate the other party.
At this moment, as he held Pan Xin, whom he had longed for day and night but could never reach, he couldn't help but tremble uncontrollably.
"What, didn't you and Shen Yishu already... you know?" Pan Xin asked him suspiciously.
Chu Xiang paused slightly, remained silent, and then, like a storm, completed the rest of the task.
During this time, he was extremely considerate, and because of his superior qualities, Pan Xin was also greatly satisfied.
This crazy night was etched in Chu Xiang's heart, and even eight years with Wang Feifei had never shaken him in the slightest.
After this incident, the two went their separate ways...
However, Wang Feifei accidentally learned about this sordid and dirty past.
From the fragments in the love letters and their chance encounters, she pieced together the whole story.
Although there was no concrete evidence, Chu Xiang knew in his heart that he could not hide it from Wang Feifei, with whom he had spent eight years.
Every time Wang Feifei recalls that past event, she hates herself for being so blinded by love and so foolish back then.
They actually believed his nonsense and forgave him for his past misdeeds.
If Chu Xiang dares to report the online loan issue to the police at this point, he will face the exposure of even more shameful past events.
Rather than sending him to prison, Wang Feifei would rather torture him herself.
Moreover, in the impending apocalypse, prison might be paradise for him.
At this point, with his enormous debt, the only one capable of saving him was his beloved.
What would he do if Pan Xin abandoned him?
A few days later, Wang Feifei received her answer.
A former colleague she hadn't contacted in a long time suddenly reached out to her, saying she'd seen Chu Xiang at a nightclub, where he was acting extremely dissolute on stage.
Wang Feifei knew in her heart that although her colleagues were polite to her on the surface, they actually wanted to see her make a fool of herself more than anyone else.
As Chu Xiang's boyfriend, such an embarrassing incident must be incredibly damaging.
Reality might disappoint her colleagues, but this incident made Wang Feifei even happier!
She replied with a smiling emoji.
I've decided to go see it in person sometime...
