Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wan were smart.
Perhaps their emotions might influence them and they lost their sensibility temporarily, but they would not let their negative emotions get the better of them for a long time and affect their feelings for each other.
They were not made to bow their heads.
No one had to admit to being wrong either.
Since their lips were already against each other and their bodies close to each other, why would they still need to insist on who was right and who was wrong?
Their emotions were written clearly on their faces.
They put their room card on the room cardholder. Then they turned on the lights and saw their own reflection from each otherâs sparkling clear eyesâ
Xiang Wan raised her eyebrows, lips pursed into a smile. âCanât you just let me take the lead, for once?â
Bai Muchuan replied as a matter-of-factly, âThis concerns my dignity, of course not!â
âWhat dignity?â Xiang Wan snorted, âNo one else will knowâŚâ
It was evident that she didnât want to back down.
She could not understand the so-called âdignityâ of men in such mattersâŚ
Bai Muchuan did not intend to explain to her. He embraced her and continued the kiss they had not finished earlierâŚ
He was tall and fit; when he embraced her, it was hard for her to seize control.
The feeling of him dominating her made her feel displeased!
âYou liar!â She used her hand to block him. âYouâve promised me before that Iâll listen to you on important matters and youâll listen to me on small matters! Look what happens now! This is such a small matter, yet youâre unwilling to listen to me. Weâve only dated for months, and youâre already behaving like this. I can already imagine in years to come, I wonât be able to have a place in your heartâŚâ
She said in a half-mischievous and half-threatening tone!
This was very effective on Bai Muchuan.
He held her fingers and puffed a helpless sigh. âFine. Say something nice and Iâll comply with your wishes.â
Xiang Wan pouted. âYou donât like to hear what I say, anyway. What else is there to say?âŚâ
Bai Muchuan lowered his handsome face in front of her. âJust say, âmy darling Gege, I love you the best!â
These sounded like sentences from those Mary Sue novels!
This three-year-old sounding Bai should use his head more!
Xiang Wan looked at him with a straight face. âIâve something even nicer than that! Wanna hear it?â
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows. âWhat is it?â
Xiang Wan squinted her eyes slowly and drew nearer to his face.
Maybe this behavior of hers had fueled her courage due to the dim atmospheric lights along the corridor or the charming face of Bai Muchuan had bewitched her nerves. Without thinking any further, she came close to his ear and spoke softly in her mellow voice.
âDarling Gege, I love it the most when you make out with meâŚâ
Their warm breath mingled together.
For a moment, Bai Muchuan felt that his brain had suddenly went blank.
She was standing before him.
In this narrow space, they could hear each otherâs breathing clearly.
Her breath fell on his face. A faint fragrance seeped in slowly through the tip of his nose!
His hand stroked her face gently, and he kissed her. He took her by the waist and led her to the bathroom without another word.
When the sudden silence took over, Xiang Wan suddenly felt hot and dry.
She knew⌠what he was about to do.
She looked up at him with her tense and taut bodyâŚ
The temperature at the bathroom was slowly increasing.
The world belonged to the two of them.
They had known each other for less than a year; it was such a short timeâŚ
Yet they felt like they had gone through a long time together.
They got along so nicely, the embraces, the kissesâŚ
Their souls seemed as if it had melted within each otherâs breaths, and their thoughts seemed to have grown some wings for they allowed them to fly away through the night skyâŚ
Was snuggling and cuddling enough?
Their passion fully reflected this short moment of pleasure amidst their demanding and stressful work as their breathing gradually grew heavy.
He wanted her to smell like him; she wanted the same.
So that both of them⌠have each other.
Bai Muchuan placed her on the washstand.
Just like their first time.
She could see the mirror.
Through the mirror, they could see each otherâs imageâŚ
What happened during their first time was flickering through their minds like a movie, frame by frameâŚ
Xiang Wan felt soft all over. Little by little, her mind started to clear up when she lost all her clothing.
⌠Made her heart flutter!
Stirring her rationality, making her lost and dazed.
His eyes, however, were filled with clarity.
Through his eyes, she could see her own reflectionâŚ
His clothing was still neat and intact, which made her feel shy.
âWait a while.â He was smiling as he kissed her forehead.
âFortunately,â he said as he smiled, âIâm prepared this time!â
Xiang Wan was so embarrassed that it suffused her face with a shade of rosy red.
She knew what he was going to getâŚ
It was not their first time after all.
She knew what would happen next as well.
Not sure why, when Bai Muchuan reentered the bathroom, she could imagine his nice body shape, even though he was wearing clothesâhis broad shoulders, narrow waist, those long legs, and well-toned hipsâŚ
Her heart couldnât stop racingâŚ
There was anticipation and nervousness.
Bai Muchuan pulled his pants and looked at her.
âWhy are you in a daze, my Queen?â
Xiang Wan avoided his gaze and chuckled somewhat unnaturally. âGood, you know what to do.â
Bai Muchuan approached her. He cupped her face and kissed her gently.
âYou donât know what to do? Do you want me to teach you?â
Xiang Wan felt a squeeze in her heart!
Iâm dying! she thought.
This Bai Muchuan, how could he be so stunning!?
She suddenly closed her eyes, as if it annoyed her. âDonât seduce me like that, I already confused hereâŚâ
âItâs okay!â Bai Muchuan took her waist and let her wrap around his waist. âIâll do it!â
See who shall take the lead!
See who had more tricks up the sleeve! These words rang in her head.
Xiang Wan noticed that she had lost.
Like soldiers discarding their armor, she was defeated.
Bai Muchuanâs too flirtatious!
Heâs too good at flirting!
She let out a groan because of his sudden passionate kiss. He turned the showerhead on. The warm flowing water stimulated their intense kissing as if they wanted to melt into each other completelyâŚ
The nights in Nanmu were silent.
Although it was unlike the nightlife of the metropolitan cities, there was no shortage of alcohol.
If it was a group of people drinking, it would be lively.
If one person was drinking, that was loneliness.
Cheng Zheng was sitting inside a bar in a quiet alley by himself.
Actually, he had always felt that drowning oneâs sorrows in alcohol was especially pretentious.
He had viewed such men as those who had lost self-control, and he had always despised people like that.
It was ironic that there would be a day when he would actually become a person he had held contempt for.
The scene where both of them were behaving intimately inside the elevator.
She was the one who initiated that. Like a nymph, she was pressing against him onto the wall of the elevator.
She was kissing and coaxing him.
That was a couple who was throwing their little tantrum because of a trivial matter.
Throughout the journey to Nanmu, he watched the entire episode with mockery and scorn.
He was not gloating over that, but he had hoped that the two of them would break up. He also felt that⌠love was just like that. A tiny misunderstanding could cause them to refuse to talk to each other for hours. Just what kind of love was that? It was fake, all fake! When there was something that caused them strife, they could easily treat each other like strangers.
In places that he could not seeâŚ
They could be so close as if they were one.
They would be in each otherâs arms; kissing and wishing they were a part of each otherâ
At that moment, he was in pain. He felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
However, he told himself, âItâs all right.â
That was just a woman who did not like him.
All women in the world were the same.
If it was not her, then it would someone else.
He could do the same as well.
He could find another womanâembrace her, kiss her, make love to her, and share everything personal with her.
The smell of alcohol was unpleasant.
Cheng Zheng closed his eyes and chugged down the entire glass of alcohol into his stomach.
Just like those men whom he had scorned, his eyes were bloodshot as he downed the alcohol, letting it burn his stomachâ
His brain was drink-fuddled.
The faces of the surrounding people went blurry.
Such a feeling was really great!
He had never drunk alcohol before. At that moment, he had fallen in love with it.
There was some fuzzy music by his ear while the strange smell of alcohol lingered at his mouthâ
Cheng Zhengâs lips formed a smile.
Why didnât he smile more?
When he smiled, he could be very charming as well!
If he had learned to smile earlier, would that woman be in his arms instead?
âMister, are you alone?â A gentle voice came to his ears, carrying the smell of hormones!
Cheng Zheng turned his head and saw a woman.
It was as if there were hooks in her eyes; a half-smile on her face; her sexy lips opened and closed, gorgeous like the fire. She seemed to wait for him to come close to herâŚ
Cheng Zhengâs brain went blank for a second. âIf Iâm not a human 1 , then am I a dog?â
It suddenly struck him that he had used a wonderful description!
For he felt that he was like a dog!
A dog that ran away and was licking its wounds alone!
That startled the woman for a moment and pointed at the table where he was sitting. âCan I sit here?â
Cheng Zheng responded, â⌠I donât own it.â
As the woman gazed at his good-looking, apathetic face that gave her an austere vibe, she felt a strong desire to conquer him.
âWell, Iâm the owner here.â She sat down slowly and looked at the alcohol in Cheng Zhengâs glass. âDo you like the drinks here?â
Cheng Zhengâs tongue was, by now, already numb from all the alcohol he had chugged down. âI like it.â
The woman smiled. âHowâs the taste?â
Cheng Zheng did not look at her. His eyes were on the glass. âIt tasted like formalin soaked in corpses!â
The womanâs jaw dropped. ââŚâ
âDo you know how a body looks like after an autopsy?â Although Cheng Zheng was talking to her, his words made no sense to her at all. âItâs just a woman⌠every woman has the same body parts. After an autopsy, everythingâs the same⌠Hurhur, whatâs so different about herâŚâ
As he said so, he rubbed his forehead and got up from his seat.
The woman had wanted to help him by extending a hand toward him seeing how unsteady his steps were.
However, when she saw his long, almost pale fingers and that cold, detached face of his, she flinched.
â⌠He must be crazy.â
Cheng Zheng was looking down as he staggered his way back to the hotel room.
His room was beside Bai Muchuan and Xiang Wanâs room.
The hotel front desk receptionist was so considerate.
As they had checked in together, she arranged for them to stay next to each other.
Cheng Zheng grinned as he looked for his room card.
He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to search for it in his pockets.
Nope, he couldnât find it.
He slammed his fist against the wall indignantly. Subconsciously, he made his way to the entrance of the room next to his.
He lifted his hand, wanting to knock on their door to ask for help.
He knew that he had drunk too much, and he felt that since they all came here together, it was only natural to have them help him out.
He convinced himself with that, but before he could knock on their door, he heard some noises coming from within the roomâ
Cheng Zheng was confounded.
He put down his hand slowly and leaned against the door.
After that, he sat down as if his energy had depleted and closed his eyes.
He felt sleepy and a little exhausted. It seemed like he couldnât stand too.
Just sit down for a while, just for a while⌠He told himself.
Xiang Wan had a good nightâs sleep that day.
She was in a warm bed, in a warm embrace, and in a warm placeâ
She had almost forgotten what day it was and what her motive was for coming to Nanmu.
When it was dawn, the urgent ringing of a mobile phone awakened her.
It was Bai Muchuanâs phone.
Soon, he pulled out his arm from behind her neck and took the call. âHello!â
It was early morning, and the surroundings were silent.
Hence, Xiang Wan could hear the shrill voice of a woman from the other end clearly. That sure was especially shocking after a great, passionate night.
âDetective Bai! Save me! Detective Bai⌠I beg of you⌠you must save me! Save me, please!â
Her voice felt sharp as her decibel was higher than usual, making it difficult to identify the owner of the voice.
Therefore, Xiang Wan could not make out who was the caller.
Bai Muchuan, however, could tell.
He paused for a while. âLima? What happened?â
âSave me⌠quick, come save meâŚâ
Xiang Wan could identify who it was now.
âIsnât she at the police station?â
Why did she call him at this time?
Last night, Abdul was being sent to the police station. Lima was also there as well.
However, Bai Muchuan was very calm. âWhere are you?â
Lima was crying her heart out. âIâm inside the questioning room⌠Someone wants to kill me⌠Someone wants to kill meâŚâ
Xiang Wan felt her hairs standing on end and her heart pounding with unease.
Without further ado, she quickly got out of bed.
âBai Muchuan, you better hurry there!â
Although Bai Muchuan was directly listening to the womanâs shrill screams, he had a peaceful expression compared to Xiang Wan.
Then, he hung up the phone and started to get dressed in his normal speed.
His behavior surprised Xiang Wan. âYouâre not worried? Isnât she in danger?â
Bai Muchuan glanced at her. âShe can actually call and say so much to me. Do you think sheâs really in danger?â
Xiang Wan was dumbfounded. ââŚâ
After all, Lima was quite a pretentious woman.
Nevertheless, both of them still dressed up faster than usual. They didnât even take a bath and was all ready to goâ
However, when they opened the doorâŚ
Something awkward happened!
A man who was leaning against their door flopped into their room.
Oh my god, Cheng Zheng? They both thought.
