Chapter 39: The scumbag is just a bed partner.
Trying not to think about those things, Yuwu went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Looking in the mirror, her snow-white skin was covered with the marks of her fingers and kisses left by the rampant bites and nibbles.
No, I really can't stay at my own home.
Yu Wu hid at Zan Ya's house for five whole days.
Five days passed, and he didn't call or message me.
Yu Wu felt that this matter should be over, and she couldn't stay at Zan Ya's house forever.
After get off work on Friday, Yu Wu stayed at the company until 10:30 p.m. before driving home.
When going up to the apartment building, she would sneak around and observe for a while, afraid of running into Chengyi.
I finally got home safely, and before I even turned on the lights, just as I was secretly congratulating myself on how well everything had gone, the doorbell rang.
Yuwu ran to the door and looked through the peephole; she almost fainted.
And out the door, by some unfortunate twist of fate, was the very person she was desperately trying to avoid.
There was another knocking on the door, and he said impatiently, "Open the door."
After taking a few deep breaths, Yu Wu asked softly through the door, "I'm already asleep. Is there something you need?"
"It's urgent."
"What's the urgent matter?"
Will you open the door or not?
silence.
After a chaotic internal struggle, Yu Wu cautiously opened a crack in the door, only to be violently pushed open by him the next second, pinning her against the wall without a word.
In the darkness, the man's cold, handsome face was inches away, almost nose to nose, their breaths mingling.
His dark pupils probed her panic, his voice hoarse: "Avoiding me?"
Yu Wu's heart pounded, her nerves stretched to the limit, and without thinking, she replied, "No!"
"You're not home from Monday to Thursday?"
"I don't!"
The two drew closer and closer, and his eyes seemed to possess a bewitching allure, making Yu Wu's mind go blank like a clump of mush, and her blood surge with boiling desire.
Did I hurt you that day?
With a deafening boom, all of Yu Wu's reason vanished. Her eyes widened, speechless, and she began to struggle uneasily.
He tightened the gloom even more, and laughed out loud, his wickedness seeping into his very bones.
"You're clearly enjoying yourself immensely, but you're afraid to admit it now?"
"Stop talking." Yu Wu desperately turned her face away, not daring to face him at all.
The next moment, Yu Wu was dragged into the bedroom without saying a word.
Yu Wu had just been thrown onto the bed and hadn't even sat up when he pressed her down and kissed her passionately.
Cheng Yi loved her slender waist, which he would caress for a long time each time, and he also loved how her hands were tightly wrapped around his neck. But she was disobedient and always wanted him to take her to do things.
With a tightness in her chest, Yu Wu felt like she was suffocating. She couldn't stop pushing and hitting him, and even started pinching him.
However, she had to admit that she had a kind of acquiescence to him, a kind of indulgence that made her want to resist, and she was teased into a deep longing.
He ignored it and focused on himself.
Just when Yuwu thought he was going to drown, he finally separated from her.
In the darkness, we couldn't see each other's faces, so the sound of each other's breathing became a powerful presence.
My mind is a mess.
"Want to do it?" he said, making suggestive gestures towards her.
Yu Wu felt the astonishing object and was caught in a dilemma when he turned on the bedside lamp with a click.
His gaze was fixed on her with burning desire, and he took off his T-shirt with one hand, his posture unrestrained, revealing his thin and firm skin.
—That's deadly.
He's practically a male demon.
"...Don't turn on the light."
He chuckled softly and turned off the light with the back of his hand.
*
So, inexplicably, a second time happened.
It was late at night, and all around was quiet.
He had his arms around her from behind, his breathing even, but Yu Wu couldn't sleep and was secretly annoyed.
What's wrong with me? I can't even walk past him.
—I never knew I could be so captivated by beauty.
What should we do next?
He expressed his dislike for her several times.
Yu Wu nudged the person behind her with her elbow, her voice hoarse: "Cheng Yi?"
"Hmm?" he responded softly, burying his head in the crook of her neck and tightening his arms around her.
"What are we?" Yu Wu asked cautiously, her eyelashes trembling several times.
Cheng Yi gave a low, sleepy "hmm".
"So, when will we break up?"
"After I've had enough sleep." His voice was low and indistinct.
The blood in my body went cold in that instant.
My heart felt like it was being clenched, and I stopped breathing.
Yu Wu was silent for a moment, then spoke softly.
"So, it's a sexual relationship?"
After a long while, there was no further response from behind.
He fell asleep.
Yuwu stared into the darkness for a very, very long time.
"Scumbag." Her voice was very soft.
With her eyes closed, Yu Wu didn't want to care about anyone or anything and quickly drifted off to sleep.
*
The next morning, as dawn broke and the sun had not yet risen, he woke up the thick fog.
She was extremely uncooperative, her eyes inexplicably welled up with tears, and her voice trembled with sobs.
Cheng Yi kissed her eyes, his dark pupils like dazzling black gems, and coaxed softly, "Did I hurt you?"
She didn't speak, but pushed him away in resistance and buried herself in the blankets. "I don't want it, and I don't want it in the future."
Cheng Yi didn't say anything, stood up with a blank face, took a cigarette from the cigarette pack on the bedside table, lit it with a click, and looked at her lazily with smoke escaping from his mouth.
"No smoking in my room!" Yu Wu yelled at him again.
Cheng Yi was exasperated by her antics, clicked his tongue, and casually stubbed out his cigarette. Then, he crossed his arms and looked down at her, who was wrapped up like a caterpillar.
He actually knew why she was throwing a tantrum. But there were some things he wasn't sure about, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
"You should leave," Yu Wu's muffled voice came from under the covers.
"I can act as a bridge for that project between your Yu family and Geek Group recently." As soon as he said it, Cheng Yi felt that he was being despicable, actually trying to use this to tie her down.
Yu Wu's eyelashes fluttered slightly. Recently, Sister Ling had been taking her to contact Geek Group, but progress had been extremely difficult, with a very low success rate.
If Cheng Yi acts as a bridge between them, it's almost certain that success will be achieved.
“I can keep introducing you to projects. You can do them if you want, or not if you don’t. I…” He paused, his dark pupils slightly unsure, “I’ll make you comfortable.”
What kind of talk is that? He's not a duck. Yu Wu thought sullenly.
She didn't respond.
He climbed back into bed, pulled her out of the covers, revealing half her head, and kissed her forehead. "Did it hurt? Let me rub it for you."
"I don't know." Yu Wu tried to hide herself, her ears turning bright red. "I don't know. You, you should go first."
He didn't leave, and started kissing her haphazardly again.
"What do you want to eat later? I'll cook for you? Or take you out to eat?" He seduced her, his pupils deep, the corners of his eyes reddening, his voice sticky, "I feel unwell, help me?"
"......No."
He chuckled softly, "Really or not? Hmm?" As he spoke, he took her hand and guided it to his.
Yu Wu's hands began to tremble from the heat.
He really is a male demon; that was the last thought in Yuwu's mind.
*
They made noise until after 10 p.m., then took a shower and went out to eat.
So, she was seduced by him again, completely unaware of what was happening.
In the cramped car interior, his captivating, cool fragrance wafted into her nostrils. Yu Wu pursed her lips, glanced at him sideways, then quickly looked away, focusing on the ever-changing scenery outside the window.
In this enclosed space where I'm alone, my heart is racing; I feel like something's not right.
Although he was always impatient and forceful at the beginning, enjoying making her feel his intense presence and watching her tremble and beg him in the throes of desire, in the end she couldn't take it anymore, their bodies burning and intertwined, and he would gently coax her with "good girl," comforting her with kisses and embraces, and she actually found this very appealing.
She craved this tenderness, this feeling of being cherished.
This was the feeling of "being loved" that she had been pursuing for the first half of her life, even though she knew it was just a fleeting encounter.
The desire that surged straight to the marrow of my brain began to boil again, an uncontrollable and rampant surge that was beyond my control.
The light ahead was red. Cheng Yi leaned back in his car seat, resting his head on his hand. Noticing the movement beside him, he glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
*
We ate at a high-end, members-only private Huaiyang cuisine restaurant; the flavors were light and delicate.
The restaurant has a wonderful ambiance. The blue brick floor has a warm, lustrous sheen, and a gentle stream flows quietly. Koi carp roam freely under the water lilies, and the intricately carved windows are exquisite and elegant, resembling a traditional Chinese ink painting. Every corner is refined and graceful.
Along the way, Cheng Yi encountered several young men who greeted him. They seemed to be friends from the industry. After chatting for a few minutes, their gazes finally fell on Yu Wu, and they asked, "And who is this?"
Cheng Yi's expression remained indifferent, as if he were casually introducing someone: "The heiress of the Yu Group, my lover."
As soon as he said it, Yu Wu was surprised and turned to look at him.
However, Cheng Yi rarely shows his emotions, and it's impossible to tell what he's thinking.
The other friends were equally surprised, and their gazes toward Yu Wu became respectful.
Once inside the private room, Cheng Yi ordered the dishes and handed the menu directly to the waiter.
“I haven’t ordered yet,” Yu Wu protested.
"I ordered enough." He remained as domineering as ever, glancing at her with a slight tilt of his head. His calm and collected demeanor made Yu Wu want to bite him twice.
Yu Wu was humiliated and didn't bother arguing with him.
He has a spoiled, arrogant attitude; he's really hard to get along with.
The dishes arrived, and Cheng Yi served Yu Wu food, all of which she didn't like. These included dishes like braised pork meatballs with red beans, matsutake mushroom and tofu soup, and steamed Taihu whitefish.
Yu Wu was holding back her anger, holding her chopsticks but not using them. At most, she would chew on a grain or two of rice, thinking to herself that she would call it a day after this meal.
Cheng Yi tapped the table. "Let's eat."
“I don’t like eating these.” Yu Wu frowned slightly and said, “You’re really annoying.”
Cheng Yi's gaze remained fixed on her face, and Yu Wu was certain she had angered him again. For some reason, she wasn't as afraid of him as before.
After a long pause, he finally blurted out, "Do you know how picky you are about food?"
"I know." Yu Wu huffed and puffed out her cheeks, sulking. She was indeed extremely picky about food, which was why she was so thin.
"I don't like vegetables, and I don't like meat either. I'll only eat one or two pieces of lean meat, and I won't eat fatty meat. I can have a mix of lean and fatty meat, but not much. I can't eat potato slices, but I can eat shredded potatoes. I can't eat stir-fried eggplant, but I can eat shredded pork with garlic sauce..."
Yu Wu looked up in surprise. She and he had only eaten together about ten times, yet he knew so much about her dietary preferences.
He raised his chin with a cool gaze and gave the order indifferently again: "Eat."
Yu Wu glared at him reluctantly, then lowered her head and ate only half a bowl.
After dinner, Cheng Yi dropped Yu Wu off at Zan Ya's building, then went to the company to work overtime. He was indeed quite busy.
*
“He’s really annoying.” Yu Wu said to Zan Ya while eating the spicy hot pot she had ordered and taking a sip of cola, “I really don’t know what to do.”
"He can be annoying, but sometimes, just occasionally, he's actually quite nice."
Zan Ya glanced at her sideways, suppressing a smile as she pursed her lips: "Hey, didn't you tell me a few days ago that your skills were pretty good when you stayed at my house?"
“That’s because I’ve never been with anyone else before!” Yu Wu suddenly paused, looking annoyed. “I didn’t even know if it was his first time.”
"Probably, he's never had a girlfriend."
"A girlfriend is one thing, a female companion is another!" Yu Wu had even lost her appetite for spicy hot pot. "If it wasn't his first time, I'd be at a huge loss!"
“Yu Zi,” Zan Ya stared intently at her, “have you realized that you actually care about him?”
Yu Wu looked puzzled and stammered, "...Why?"
"On that night at the banquet, all you wanted was to have a wild night. It's just one night, so why care if he had female companions before? You already care whether he has you in his heart, otherwise you wouldn't be angry with him."
"I was probably just held back by his good looks," Yu Wu sighed.
Zan Ya smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Yes, with his looks, no normal person could resist!"
"What about Shu Yueqiao? How are things between you and him? I think he's the best of the three."
Zan Ya sighed deeply, her bright eyes dimming slightly with worry. "I don't know. Feelings aren't something you can control just by wanting to."
The two sisters exchanged a glance and gave a wry smile.
Everyone has their own troubles.
*
That evening, Chengyi called.
"I'm done with my work, I'm here to pick you up now."
Yu Wu felt a headache coming on and immediately lied, "I'm staying at her place tonight."
"I'm leaving." He said this and hung up the phone without saying another word.
