Wang Er Ya huffed lightly, "Don’t play me for a fool. Aren’t you here waiting for Ji Xinhe?"
Gao Zhiru was taken aback and blurted out, "How did you know?"
This meeting was clearly meant to be a private arrangement with Ji Xinhe.
Wang Er Ya lifted her head slightly and said, "Something suddenly came up at Ji Xinhe’s home and she couldn’t make it. So I was the one sent to tell you she couldn’t see you off, she wishes for you to focus on your exams."
A hint of disappointment flashed through Gao Zhiru’s eyes, "What could have happened at their place?"
Wang Er Ya noticed Gao Zhiru’s despondence. Anger quietly flared within her as she clung to his arm and cooed, "What? Disappointed? Not happy that I came instead? Ji Xinhe, that blockhead, even if she did come, with her slow-witted look, she surely can’t beat me?"
Gao Zhiru was charmed by Wang Er Ya’s soft voice, and the sight of her in makeup and a charming red flower in her hair certainly added to her appeal.
Gao Zhiru’s despondent mood lifted considerably. This was a great opportunity and Ji Xinhe, the blockhead, didn’t show up. She was a pretty face but she lacked Wang Er Ya’s knack for pleasing him and the finesse in which she attended to him.
If it were Ji Xinhe here, he wasn’t sure he would have been able to convince her to go through what he was planning. Ji Xinhe’s incompetence would’ve been rather exasperating.
Looking at the charming Wang Er Ya standing before him, Gao Zhiru felt an increasing fondness for her. He wrapped her tightly in his arms and teased, "Look at you, always saying ridiculous things. How can any woman compare to you? I’m not oblivious to your charms, you know. It’s lucky that you’re here. This way I can savor your sweetness one last time before my exams."
As he spoke, he began to undress Wang Er Ya. Already well-versed in how to please a man she knew just how to inflame Gao Zhiru’s passion, instantly sweeping away his earlier gloomy mood. He playfully growled in her ear, "Such a good girl, Er Ya. Having you here tonight ensures that I’ll do well in my exams, earning a respectable title."
Wang Er Ya laughed softly, "Just look at how impatient you are."
Her hands were busy unbuckling Gao Zhiru’s belt.
Gao Zhiru began to undress Wang Er Ya. "You minx, aren’t you the one tempting me?"
"You better remember the good times we’ve had. Don’t forget your promise. Once you succeed in your exams, it’s time for you to marry me. I’m already yours, so don’t you dare go back on your word," Wang Er Ya said, halting Gao Zhiru’s actions and looking at him coyly.
"Of course, of course. Don’t worry, I’ll treat you well!"
It was clear to see, Gao Zhiru was indeed taken in by her tactics. Wang Er Ya was a master at pleasing men and had him wrapped around her finger, forcing him to make promises. What Wang Er Ya didn’t know was that a man’s promises in bed were often untrustworthy.
Just as Gao Zhiru was beginning to enjoy himself, there was a sudden sharp and grating shriek that cut through the air.
"How could you! You shameless pair, how could you dare..." The scene Ji Xiulan came upon when she arrived left her absolutely flabbergasted.
The last thing she expected was to find Gao Zhiru, who had earnestly promised to marry her if he passed the scholar exam in the afternoon, engaged in such behavior come nightfall - and with none other than Wang Er Ya!
How on earth was he capable of being with such a vulgar village girl? Didn’t he despise these rustic girls?
Gao Zhiru, scared out of his wits, quickly let go of Wang Er Ya and rushed to explain. In his haste, he fell flat on his bottom.
Ji Xiulan’s eyes were swollen and red from crying. As she hit him, she shouted, "How could you do this to me, Gao Zhiru? How could you?!"
Despite the punches raining down on him, Gao Zhiru blurted out without even having the time to put his pants on, "Xiulan, let me explain. I didn’t mean for this to happen, it’s all because of her!"
Gao Zhiru pointed directly at Wang Er Ya and said, "She seduced me. I really never planned on betraying you."
Wang Er Ya, who had been dazed before, widened her eyes in disbelief when she heard Gao Zhiru pinning the blame on her. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Ji Xiulan glared at Wang Er Ya.
Ji Xiulan was absolutely furious. Screaming, she leapt at Wang Er Ya and, grabbing her hair, slapped her hard across the face. "You shameless wench, no sooner did you slander me than you come to steal my man. You lousy slut, I’ll kill you!"
Ji Xiulan began to lose control, not even bothering to keep up pretences any more and brawled with Wang Er Ya in front of Gao Zhiru.
At first, Wang Er Ya was bewildered, but as soon as Ji Xiulan’s slap landed, she came back to her senses. She quickly got into a brawl with Ji Xiulan without sparing a thought to get dressed.
"Why are you hitting me? What’s wrong if I’m with Zhiru? Do you think he’s yours? Let me tell you today, he already slept with me. What do you think you are?"
The two women, locked in a brutal fight, rolled on the ground. Both were fierce and aggressive, their eyes burning with rage, each desperate to beat the other to a pulp.
Gao Zhiru quickly pulled his pants on. Seeing the escalating chaos, he worried about the commotion attracting villagers. He tried to pull the women apart but to no avail. In the meantime, the scuffling of footsteps approaching could already be heard.
"What’s going on over there?"
Damn it! Villagers were coming because they’d heard the ruckus!
Gao Zhiru went pale and became paralyzed with fear.
Hidden in the shadows, Ji Xinhe was thoroughly enjoying the spectacle, wondering which of Wang Er Ya or Ji Xiulan, would win the fight.
