Author’s note: What follows will be a sweet ambiguous period, no suffering. My editing control has acted up again, everyone understand, right? Also, I have good news to share. The publication agreement for “Love” has just been signed and sent to JJ for review by the end of October. Teacher Yang, I can finally put you by my bedside! Qian Hui
My straightforward answer made Ye Zhengchen pause slightly, watching me walk into the supermarket with a confused gaze. I bought instant noodles and eggs quickly. When I came out, exactly three minutes had passed, and he was still waiting. His gaze now showed more focus and contemplation. “Let’s go!” He started the car, and within ten minutes, we arrived at our apartment, proving that luxury sports cars can be practical. As he got out, I noticed how tall he was, his well-tailored black suit perfectly showcasing his physique.
The last rays of dusk fell on Ye Zhengchen, illuminating his face with surprising brightness. I was somewhat dazed, following him upstairs until we reached his apartment door. He turned back, looking uncertain, as if about to say something.
I smiled sweetly and pointed to his door, where a note was neatly written in Chinese: “Hello, my name is Bo Bing, and I live next door. I’ll need some time to apply for internet. Can I share your network in the meantime? Thank you! My contact information: [signed with a cute smiley face].”
Ye Zhengchen read the note and smiled at me, his enchanting smile accentuated by the corners of his mouth and a hint of charm.
I couldn’t hear Ye Zhengchen’s response, but it seemed positive. Then, suddenly, I heard a voice, “You didn’t see me, and you didn’t even answer my calls…”
“…”
“Don’t think I don’t know you came back last night with Tanaka Yuko. You were with her, weren’t you?”
I nearly choked at these words. A man caught cheating by his girlfriend—what a tragedy! Curiosity piqued, I slipped into the bathroom for better acoustics to listen more clearly.
“Yes!” I finally heard Ye Zhengchen’s low, resolute response.
“I spent the night with her, and I slept in the same bed with her every day in Tokyo. Are you satisfied now?”
“You! You…”
