His movements were gentle and slow. As he kissed, his breath grew heavier.
“Why?”
Holding onto her face, Mu Xichen said with a low voice with a slight hint of sadness.
“Mu Donglin… He’s allowed, but I’m not…”
As he continued to kiss her, her heart sank.
“You said that you loved me… What did that amount to…” Mu Xichen said as he held onto her. With a low, raspy voice, he said, “What’s so good… about Mu Donglin anyway.”
Li Beinian could no longer control her tears. She pushed his face away and said, “Let’s talk about it when you’re sober.”
Mu Xichen didn’t continue, and she pushed him away.
Li Beinian got up and left the room.
She didn’t turn back. She couldn’t turn back.
Only the sound of the door opening and closing could be heard.
The room went back to silence.
As Mu Xichen laid on the bed, he felt that his body was numbed by the alcohol. His chest was heavy, so heavy that he couldn’t breathe.
She left.
Left.
…
It was a long night.
Li Beinian couldn’t put a finger on her emotions.
Yes, she loved Mu Xichen.
But she hated how he toyed with her.
The last time, she laid in front of him and seduced him. Yet, he wouldn’t even touch her.
This time…
He was drunk.
Dead drunk.
He might not even know what he was doing and who he was doing it with.
As Li Beinian stared blankly at the ceiling, she couldn’t control the tears from flowing down.
After a while, she closed her eyes and slept.
…
Everyone’s body was strange in their own ways.
Previously, her sleep quality was great. She could get through the night without ever waking up or even dreaming.
But now, it felt as though she was cursed. Every night, she would have different dream sequences.
In this dream, she was in a white world, and a shadow approached her.
“You have two choices.”
In the dream, Lin Ya’s voice was especially clear.
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
“Thud!”
The clear sound of footsteps closed in upon her.
Every step felt like it was stepping on her chest.
“Number 1, surrender him to me. I will bear the responsibility for you.”
Around her, she could hear the sound of many pairs of wings fluttering. Occasionally, the sound of pigeons cooing could be heard. But all she could see was just white.
Suddenly, there was a gust of wind. It carried the smell of grass and earth.
“Number 2…”
“Number 2…”
What about number 2?
Surrounding her was still white, but there was no more sound.
Li Beinian opened her eyes, unfazed.
It was already bright outside, and she took a while to process.
She took a look at the time—it was already mid-afternoon.
Her stomach grumbled, but she couldn’t bring herself to cook. After a quick wash-up, she bought bread and yogurt from the convenience store for lunch instead.
As she was paying the bill, she saw the pregnancy test kits by the cashier.
She couldn’t keep her eyes off of it.
The cashier said, “Hi, the total is $29. We accept WeChat or Alipay.”
Li Beinian hesitated for a while before picking up one of the pregnancy test kits.
After she paid the bill, she went out. It was a hot day.
She considered for a while before picking up her phone and calling Bo Chengcheng.
The call was immediately picked up. Bo Chengcheng was busy, so she quickly said, “Hello?”
“Sister Bo…”
Bo Cheng Cheng could sense the hesitation in her voice and asked, “Something happened?”
“Get me the pill,” Li Beinian replied after much hesitation. “For women. With the same effects as last time.”
