Chapter 3 "The Joke of 'Things Going Against One's Wishes'" (3)

  Jing scrubbed herself hard for a good half of the day, until her skin turned red and sore from her efforts, yet she still showed no signs of stopping.

  She and Shen Liang Nian have known each other for ten years, Liang Nian is five years older than her, they fell in love for four years, during these four years, her first hand-holding, first kiss, first hug, first touch, all belonged to him.

  Alone, without crossing half a step over the thunder pool.

  It was just because she once said that in the year of her 20th birthday, she hoped to be his real woman.

  So a man five years her senior, suppressing his physical desires, endured for four years.

  In just ten days, it would be her 20th birthday and she could truly become Shen Liang's woman. Then they could get married, have children, and grow old together... But heaven always seemed to enjoy playing some "cruel jokes" on people...

  The more she thought about it, the harder she rubbed her skin with force, her skin was extremely delicate and tender, and some places revealed threads of blood.

  However, Jinghao seemed to be feeling no pain, and continued to scrub his skin with force as if he was tormenting himself.

  She didn't stop until she had used up the entire bottle of body wash, and the dense white foam overflowed from the bathtub. Only then did she weakly sink into the tub.

  She knew... No matter how hard she tried, no matter how much body wash she used, she couldn't scrub herself clean.

  Her throat was fine just a moment before, but suddenly it felt somewhat blocked. She slowly raised her head, gazing at the bathroom ceiling, her eyes feeling slightly sore.

  Jing didn't know how long she had been lying there, the water in the bathtub had become icy cold, but she still didn't want to get out until the phone in the living room rang.

  She slowly got up from the bathtub, casually rinsing off the foam on her body, wrapped herself in a towel and walked out of the bathroom. She carelessly threw her bag onto the bed, then picked up her phone and saw "Liang Nian" displayed on it. Her fingers trembled violently for a moment, hesitated for a long time before pressing the answer button. Then, a familiar male voice came from the phone: "Good good, why did you take so long to pick up? What were you doing?"

  Shen Liang's usual gentle tone suddenly made Jing's hard-won calm mood fluctuate again. She gripped her phone tightly and with great effort, spoke in a calm tone: "I was just taking a bath."

  Despite her good disguise, Shen Liang Nian still discovered a hint of abnormality: "Hao Hao, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Your voice sounds strange."

  She gripped the towel tightly, and her knuckles turned white from the force. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and managed to make her tone sound slightly calmer as she said, "I had a bit too much to drink at tonight's banquet, my throat is feeling a bit sore."

  "I'm going to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and will send it over to you later."

  In the past, Jing would nod happily and say "good" with a heart full of happiness. But now, her neck, chest, and front are covered in dense hickeys. If Shen Liang came and saw them, how could she explain?

  Although she knew in her heart that she had lost her innocence, the truth would eventually come to light and Shen Liangyuan would find out sooner or later.
