"Shen Muzhi, how dare you!" Xiang Zhilan glared at him fiercely.
"What do I have to be afraid of? In your eyes, I'm domineering and arrogant, with no redeeming qualities. And since you hate me so much, what image do I have to maintain?" Shen Muzhi gave a self-deprecating smile and whispered in Xiang Zhilan's ear, "Since you always hold grudges against my bad points, forcing me once is forcing me, and forcing me twice is also forcing me. What's the difference?"
Xiang Zhilan pushed hard against his chest, kicking her legs, and cried out in panic as his hand reached inside her loose clothes, "I will hate you!"
"Then hate me." Shen Muzhi bit her earlobe and licked it, his hands running amok.
Xiang Zhilan sensed that he was serious and struggled urgently: "Shen Muzhi, don't do anything rash!"
He ignored her completely and became even more reckless, unbuttoning her back clasp and touching places she herself rarely touched.
Xiang Zhilan panicked and became frightened. She never learns her lesson and forgot that besides being very obedient to her these past few days, this man was actually a very tough and terrifying person.
"I don't want to!" she cried out in a panic, her voice trembling with tears. "Stop! Shen Muzhi, stop!"
He heard the same fear in her voice as he had that night, and he wanted to stop, to comfort her.
But now that things had come to this, he wanted to know if there was any possibility between them. He wanted to hear even just one word from her that acknowledged him.
“Shen Muzhi, no…” Xiang Zhilan choked, struggling with almost no strength left. As his hand reached down, she became even more terrified, the nightmarish memories returning. She sobbed, “Don’t do this, please…”
“I’m too domineering, I won’t listen to your requests.” Shen Muzhi said breathlessly in her ear, coaxing her to retort: “I’ve never been good to you, what’s the use of you begging me?”
His hand was already at the edge of her lower abdomen, and she trembled. "No, it's not like that..."
"What is it?" Shen Muzhi sucked on her earlobe, deliberately lingering in the forbidden area.
"I, I..." Xiang Zhilan grabbed Shen Muzhi's hand, stopping him from continuing, her voice trembling, "You promised to be good to me, you can't go back on your word..."
"Ha, you hate me so much, why should I be nice to you?" Shen Muzhi exerted force, and Xiang Zhilan couldn't stop him at all.
She burst into tears, hitting him and sobbing, "I was just trying not to hate you so much, and you did something so awful again! I hate you so much, you bastard, you bastard!"
Shen Muzhi stopped what she was doing. It turned out that she wasn't truly indifferent; she had seen what he was doing.
"I shouldn't have been soft on a bastard like you!" Xiang Zhilan continued hitting him out of habit, unaware that he had already stopped.
Shen Muzhi held her tightly in his arms. He thought that beneath her sharp tongue these past few days lay a soft heart, and he felt that all the suffering he had endured was worthwhile, even if she only forgave him a little bit.
At least it shows that he doesn't truly have no good qualities in his heart.
He could continue to strive, making her feel that he had become even better, better and better, slowly devouring and taking over her completely.
"Don't cry." He lowered his head and wiped away her frightened tears, stroking her cheeks.
Xiang Zhilan realized he had stopped, and sobbed a few more times, trembling with lingering fear.
