When Shen Muzhi's hand reached into her back clasp, she was startled and quickly came to her senses.
The ambiguous atmosphere vanished instantly. She forcefully pushed him away from her and hurriedly sat up to straighten her clothes.
Shen Muzhi was a little dazed when he was suddenly pushed away. Didn't they feel good just now?
Xiang Zhilan snapped out of her daze, filled with mortifying regret. What had she just said?! She had almost slept with Shen Muzhi, half-heartedly resisting! Had she lost her mind?!
"What's wrong?" Shen Muzhi reached out and took her hand, asking softly.
Xiang Zhilan pulled her hand back, stood up in a panic, and blurted out, "Just now, my physical needs overwhelmed my reason. I was confused for a moment. Don't overthink it."
She was incredibly annoyed after she finished speaking, and tried to cover it up by adding, "You should understand that physical needs sometimes have nothing to do with feelings."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt even more determined to bite her tongue and kill herself. What was all that nonsense? Her mind was completely blank!
"Are you saying that sex and love can be separated, so if it were another man next to you at this moment, would you also have the same needs and react in the same way?" Shen Muzhi interpreted the meaning of Xiang Zhilan's two sentences in detail, and his pleasant face instantly turned gloomy.
"Um..." Xiang Zhilan was in a bit of a dilemma. Saying it was not entirely true, but saying it wasn't would indirectly admit that he was unique, but she didn't think so.
Shen Mu's deep eyes were fixed on her face. Seeing that she hesitated and couldn't answer, he assumed that she had agreed and was embarrassed to reply. His expression grew even darker, and his empty hand clenched into a fist.
“Shen Muzhi, I…” Xiang Zhilan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say.
"No need to say anything more, I understand." Shen Muzhi stood up, his face extremely pale, and walked towards the door.
When Xiang Zhilan heard the door slam shut, he blinked a few times, stunned. What had he finally understood?
She sat down in frustration, clutching her head and patting it. Her performance had been terrible; she should just smash her head against a block of tofu and die.
After regretting it for a long time in her room, Xiang Zhilan slowly calmed down and thought with a very self-deceptive attitude that since she had already said it, there was no use in regretting it anymore.
Forget it, let it all go with the wind.
Xiang Zhilan took a deep breath and put the matter out of her mind.
But then again, she's been single for two and a half years. Although she's not yet thirty, the age when she's supposed to be sexually active, she should still have a boyfriend or something. She doesn't need to remain chaste for anyone.
Who says women shouldn't have these needs? Men with these needs go to prostitutes too.
Of course, she wouldn't go to a brothel; she'd at least find a clean place for that kind of thing.
Actually, Shen Muzhi should be quite clean. I wonder if he's had any other women in the past two years. He's not young anymore, and he's at the age where his desires are high. Plus, he's attracted to a beautiful woman like Bai Yutong. He also loves to drink, so in a moment of infatuation...
"Ahhh!" Xiang Zhilan quickly slapped her forehead, trying to banish the increasingly vivid images from her mind.
It seems she really needs to find a boyfriend; perhaps the hormonal imbalance is causing her to overthink.
Previously in New Zealand, the single men of similar age she met were either her family's driver, security guard, or Luo Che; the others were all foreigners. She didn't like men with excessive body hair, as it made them seem dirty.
