Chapter 8 Confession
"Why...Miss Sheng."
Sheng Zhao's hangover-like head suddenly became clear, and he stared at the man in front of him in a daze.
He stared at Sheng Zhao silently for a while, stood up and walked down from the windowsill, unbuttoned his chest as if casually, revealing a large area of his chest, and suddenly lowered his head to get closer to Sheng Zhao.
Sheng Zhao could smell the slightly dry smell of cigarettes and the fragrance of a mature man on him. The two of them were very close, Li Ji's warm breath fanned her face, and his crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Why is that..."
He seemed to be whispering.
Then he suddenly grabbed Sheng Zhao's wrist and placed her palm on his naked chest. The warm and soft chest transmitted waves of body temperature, making Sheng Zhao speechless and just staring at him in shock.
Seeing his hoarse and low voice, he whispered softly in her ear, "Do you want to have me?"
Sheng Zhao wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly, pressing it against his chest, continuing to feel the softness. He continued to ask, his breath hitting her ear as if on purpose, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to have me?"
His ending tone even rose slightly with a trembling tone.
Sheng Zhao was probably still confused and slow to react due to the hangover, and she just watched him getting more and more excessive, even holding her hand and sliding it down, slowly touching his abdominal muscles.
The warm skin and grooves made people daydream. His breathing even trembled slightly because of the downward movement, and his fingertips lightly drew circles on Sheng Zhao's hand.
Maybe he came from a nightclub background and after being there for many years, he must have learned a lot of ways to seduce people.
His eyes are deep.
"Hmm? Miss Sheng?"
He seemed to be high above, waiting for Sheng Zhao's next move.
Even though her voice was low and slow with temptation, and her actions made people blush and their hearts beat fast, her eyes were dark and calm, as if concealing both relief and embarrassment that it was just as it was.
Just like the countless women I have met before.
She approached him under the pretext of saving a prostitute, but all she wanted was to sleep with him.
...So boring.
So boring.
He didn't know why he felt an indescribable anger and ridicule.
It was like he had once told her because she was gentle and reliable that she would not let him suffer any injustice.
It's all fake.
Li Ji was just about to say something to speed up the process.
She even thought indifferently, if she wanted to get him, then she could get him. He was just a slutty vixen anyway. Hiding her identity by his side to earn his trust was just for this... just to satisfy her.
Anyway, he has been pretending to be a mistress for a long time, so it doesn't hurt to be a real mistress for once.
He raised the corners of his lips wantonly and sarcastically.
Then Sheng Zhao suddenly pulled his hand out, slapped his cheeks with both hands, held them up, and stared at him straight in the eyes.
This series of actions made Li Ji stunned, and he just stared blankly into Sheng Zhao's eyes.
"Why are you crying?"
She asked.
…because you’re a liar.
He thought indifferently.
But Sheng Zhao just wiped away the tears from his eyes with her fingertips. He turned his head away as if to cover up and didn't look at her. Sheng Zhao just turned his face away stubbornly and continued to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
She said, "Don't cry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to hide it."
"I just want to start over with you and witness you become the brightest star."
Her voice was smooth yet strangely convincing.
"...This is the second time I've seen you cry. I originally thought you wouldn't cry."
Her fingertips continued to wipe away Li Ji's tears.
"I just think you're very capable and talented, and you'll become a very great person..."
"What were you trying to do just now?" She tilted her head slightly, her voice still calm. "Using my body to determine if I'm a bad person?"
"This method is so stupid. You will lose your body and equality. But I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm not a bad person. I just want to keep watching you."
Li Ji was stunned, muttering to himself, "Just want to keep looking at me...?"
He didn't quite understand.
"Yes." Sheng Zhao nodded, his eyes curved with a smile, "I want to see you standing on the highest stage, letting the whole world see you."
"You are the best star, I want to watch you all the time-"
There was a barely perceptible hint of enthusiasm and joy in her eyes, which then quickly faded away, leaving only the gentleness and reliability that remained.
Li Ji seemed to still understand what she said, and then Sheng Zhao remembered to introduce his identity. She was about to speak, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, my identity is - um -"
Her words were suddenly cut off, Li Ji's lips suddenly kissed her, interrupting her words, and Sheng Zhao widened his eyes.
Li Ji seemed to be startled by his own actions. He shuddered and stepped back, then spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I don't want to know your identity... I feel like nothing will change. All I want is for you to be by my side like before and watch me go on stage."
He paused and pursed his lips, "Sorry, I was just anxious..."
He rubbed the corners of his lips with his fingertips, then retracted them as if burned, and continued, "...I didn't mean to."
Sheng Zhao touched his lips, listened to Li Ji's explanation, frowned slightly, and looked into Li Ji's eyes, "Then you can't do this to others next time. It's better not to have any scandals before you become famous."
Li Ji paused, stared at Sheng Zhao for a while, with a strange expression on his face, but nodded.
——
Everything went on as usual the next day, as if the strange actions and words from last night had not happened, and the two of them were still the same as usual.
He went to the company's practice room, and Sheng Zhao thought for a long time.
She has been the shopkeeper for a long time, and there are probably more than 9999 pieces of news about Yu Shiyun, each one more devastating than the last. It is better to go back and take a look as soon as possible.
However, Sheng Zhao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable standing in front of the magnificent Huayun Entertainment Building. After a pause, he walked in and went straight to the president's office on the top floor.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the man's lower back.
The man with his back to her was wearing a tight-fitting suit vest. His waist narrowed from top to bottom along with his beautiful spine. His sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing his arms with well-proportioned lines and slender, cold white fingers.
He didn't turn around, but replied calmly, "Mr. Xiao Sheng, the documents have been sorted out."
Sheng Zhao did not answer and correct him, but walked forward instead.
Then, she leaned close to his ear from behind, curved her eyes and whispered softly, "Shiyun, I'm back—"
Then Yu Shiyun turned around abruptly and looked right into Sheng Zhao's eyes.
Sheng Zhao smiled with his eyebrows curved. He looked at Yu Shiyun's expression and face and found that she didn't look too haggard. He said, "It's not as serious as you said. I don't see any dark circles under your eyes."
Yu Shiyun was about to say something when his mouth suddenly stopped. The excitement on his face instantly subsided and turned into an expressionless face. He raised the corners of his lips expressionlessly, and his voice was cold.
"Welcome back, Mr. Sheng. You're back so early. Did your lover dump you?"
His delicate and cold face was totally inconsistent with his words, which were extremely vicious.
"I don't have a lover out there."
Sheng Zhao seemed to be used to it and mumbled in response. As soon as she sat down in the office chair, Yu Shiyun said, "You don't have dark circles because Mr. Sheng has shouldered most of the work. He's very tired these days. You should go see him."
Sheng Zhao lowered his eyes, his face expressionless, and instead flipped through the documents, seemingly ignoring it.
"...So heartless." Yu Shiyun adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and handed the document to Sheng Zhao. Her voice was light. "I've been working an average of four hours of overtime these days. If you don't come back, I'm really going to sue you at the Labor Bureau."
Sheng Zhao looked at the documents, glanced at them for a few times, paused, put them down abruptly, leaned back in his chair and stopped reading, seeming a little discouraged.
"Shiyun, I'm really overwhelmed by all this. It's really too difficult to come back to work after taking a long vacation."
"Really?" Yu Shiyun answered her complaint casually, without any expression on her face.
