“Since my dear Xiao Zhe has spoken, how could I refuse?”
A few days later one evening, Fang Yuzhe returned to his apartment. He said to Xia Yuluo, “Do you remember Xiao Yunyi? The one you were jealous about last time?”
“Of course I remember. What about her?”
“She recently broke up and returned to the country. She wants me to keep her company.”
Yuluo looked at Fang Yuzhe, “How exactly?”
“Just spending more time together, comforting her and such!”
“Oh, that’s what good friends do. Why did you need to tell me specifically!”
Fang Yuzhe smiled, “Just don’t overthink it. Let’s sleep.” He turned over.
Yuluo didn’t like him turning his back to her. For a long time, he hadn’t been staying home, and when he did return, he would just collapse and sleep, unlike how he used to be affectionate with her.
Xia Yuluo struggled internally, wondering whether to take the initiative. Finally, she decided to give him a hint and gently wrote on his back with her finger.
“Guess what I wrote?” She said, her face close to his shoulder.
Fang Yuzhe knew what she meant. She had written the character for “kiss” on his back. He also knew Yuluo was a reserved girl, and if she took the initiative to request intimacy and was rejected, it would be devastating.
“Yuluo, let’s sleep. I’m tired.”
“No, you’re not tired. You’re just brushing me off!”
Xia Yuluo forcefully turned him over and awkwardly climbed on top of him, clumsily trying to remove his clothes.
Fang Yuzhe couldn’t help it. He truly felt sorry for his girlfriend, knowing how afraid she was of being rejected and how panicked she had been because of his recent coldness. He was about to turn and embrace her to comfort her when his phone inconveniently rang.
Fang Yuzhe knew he would receive a call tonight, a call he had arranged for Xiao Yunyi to make. The moment he answered, he hesitated. Should he continue to hurt Yuluo? She was already so pitiful. But he couldn’t soften. Success or failure depended on this moment!
“Hello? Yunyi, what’s wrong?” Fang Yuzhe turned his back to Yuluo and began speaking to Xiao Yunyi in a lowered voice.
