Facing the tightly closed door, Shang Peng made a whistling gesture, then grinned.
Zhi Wei, leaning on the other side of the door, had a face full of incomprehensible annoyance.
Was this really his reaction?
”Hey, you’re so rude, scaring people like that,” a affected male voice came from the bed, waking Zhi Wei.
She turned to look at the “man” sitting on the bed’s edge.
This… could be considered a man, if one could overlook that pitiful, coquettish demeanor.
”Your name is…”
”Barbie.”
”Barbie?” Good heavens, Zhi Wei wanted to burst out laughing.
”Are you making fun of my name?”
”No, no, I’m not laughing, okay? Do you know why you’re here today?”
”I know, Mr. Bai instructed me to make the man outside misunderstand that we’re doing something.”
Zhi Wei shook her head, both laughing and exasperated.
Bai Zhixiu’s plan was too meticulous. He found her a “good partner” to cooperate, but gave her such an ineffective role?
”Okay, so next we’ll—” Zhi Wei had just taken two steps forward when Barbie suddenly sprang up.
”What are you doing?” Zhi Wei was startled.
”I want to ask what you’re doing! Standing so close!” Barbie was even more shocked.
”I—”
”I’m telling you, Mr. Bai said it’s just an act, don’t try to make it real! If you try anything, my boyfriend will come after you!”
”I—” Wow! What was this? She would never believe such a thing could happen to her! She was always the one men chased, and now a man was worried about her harassing him?
Oh, no, this didn’t count as a man. This thought gave Zhi Wei some comfort. But what about the one outside? Shang was definitely 100% a man, right?
Thinking about his unexpected reaction, Zhi Wei was full of frustration. He must be a pervert! To tolerate his fiancée bringing another man into the room!
Or maybe… he simply didn’t care? This thought drove Zhi Wei crazy.
She was so angry, so angry! But what was she angry about? His indifference?
No, no… Zhi Wei shook her head, trying to correct herself—she was just angry that her plan had failed!
But regardless of what she was angry about, Zhi Wei suddenly realized that her mood was so greatly affected by him! If this continued…
”Ah—” Zhi Wei clenched her fists, letting out a frustrated groan.
”No, no, this sound isn’t right, it should be softer, shorter, like this, ah, hmm…”
Damn, the “fake man” next to her was actually giving technical guidance?
Zhi Wei rolled her eyes and lay flat on the bed. And so, Shang Peng, under the name “David”, became Tang Zhi Wei’s lodger.
In the first few days, due to numerous company matters, Shang Peng was always out early and returning late, so they didn’t interact much, and things seemed superficially peaceful.
But this peace was definitely not in line with anyone’s original intentions.
Sure enough, someone couldn’t hold back and began to stir.
Aren’t you already calling me Zhiwei? We’re living under the same roof, so why be so distant?”
“Uh, it’s not about being distant, it’s just that I think… I’d better go take a shower first.”
He really needed to cool down, especially in a certain heated area.
“No, I want you to keep me company and chat first.” Noticing his reluctance, Zhiwei became even more determined to push her act further.
“Just chatting?” Shang Peng finally let out a sound almost like a sigh, thinking to himself: Pardon has been granted, baby, consequences are your own.
“Well… what else did you want?” She was quite “clever”, easily extending the conversation along his line of thought.
“You’ll make me misunderstand that you want…”
“What do I want?” Whatever you dislike is what I want to do! Zhiwei secretly sneered.
“You want to actively seduce me.”
Bingo! That’s exactly it! Zhiwei was just short of jumping up and applauding herself. Turns out her acting skills weren’t bad at all!
“What if it’s not a misunderstanding? Actually… I have a bit of a quirk, well… I like taking the initiative, it gives me a sense of conquest. So… how are you feeling right now?” She stared at him with a longing gaze, expecting him to immediately show disgust and storm off.
“Before responding to you, I think I need to leave for a moment.” He suddenly turned and walked out.
“Hey, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Are you angry?” Haha, Zhiwei wanted to shout long live! Victory!
“Why would I be angry? I’m not leaving!” Miss, don’t celebrate too early.
“Huh?” She looked up, seeing him standing still.
“I’m just leaving for a moment, to buy something and come right back.”
“Buying something?” Zhiwei was still dazed, pursing her lips with a light laugh. Still pretending? Clearly just making an excuse to escape!
“I’m going to buy condoms.” He suddenly smiled brilliantly.
“What?” Zhiwei jumped up instantly, speechless.
Shang Peng was already walking back, approaching her step by step. “Or do you have some prepared?”
“Uh… I, I don’t…” Zhiwei began to retreat until her back was against the wall. “I think we won’t need them.”
“Won’t need them? If you prefer to go directly, I can make an exception for you.”
What exception? Zhiwei was shocked. How did the plot suddenly change?
While she was still in shock, he suddenly reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, bringing his mouth close to her neck and whispering: “I haven’t answered how I’m feeling yet.”
A cool sensation rushed down her spine, while the skin exposed to his breath became unbearably hot. Zhiwei, caught between cold and heat, began to feel dizzy.
Emergency level one! Zhiwei couldn’t imagine how she could be so unable to bear this man’s proximity, she even felt herself trembling, her legs starting to weaken…
No, she must stay calm, stay calm!
“Oh, my head…” Play dead! Yes, she was so proud of herself!
Oh, last night I got drunk, seriously, so drunk that I blacked out. There shouldn’t be any problems, right? Otherwise, how could I not remember anything? she blurted out.
“Well… nothing happened,” he replied, knowing she was playing dumb, and he could easily see through her act, but… Shang Peng found that he didn’t want to do so.
Perhaps… he wasn’t the only one wanting to ease the awkwardness? Shang Peng felt his original intention to tease her had subtly changed, though he didn’t want to dwell on the reason.
Let everything take its natural course! The brief nighttime confrontation had become a tacit understanding between Shang Peng and Zhi Wei, no matter who returned home first, they would deliberately wait for the “opponent” to appear.
This night was no exception.
Zhi Wei sat alone in the living room, constantly changing the TV channels with the remote control, until he returned with slightly tipsy steps, becoming the only scene in her eyes.
At this moment, she clearly felt a stirring in her heart, unable to describe it, but certain it wasn’t dislike.
“Big—” As Zhi Wei hurried to stand up, she noticed an unexpected “thing” in the picture — a strange woman beside him.
She stared at them speechlessly.
“You’re not asleep yet?” he greeted her.
Are you not dead yet? She wanted to greet him too! Zhi Wei watched them walk into the room.
Stay calm! Don’t do anything stupid! An unnamed fire burned in her chest, Zhi Wei clenched her fists, glaring at the door that she could kick down at any moment.
No! She had decided! If she wasn’t allowed to do something, she was sure she would explode!
『4』Chapter Three
Knock knock knock! Tang Zhi Wei still knocked on the door.
Taking a deep breath… as she painfully squeezed out a smile, the door opened.
“You… need something?” The man’s tired but handsome face appeared in the doorway.
Of course she had something! “Um, I was wondering if you’re free right now—”
“Not free.” Two words, crisp and clear.
“I haven’t even said what I want to do. Do you have to answer so quickly?” Zhi Wei widened her eyes.
“But I really don’t have time right now.”
