Chapter 10

The string of emotions in my heart seemed to snap all at once.

By the time I came to my senses, I was already in a car heading to the airport.

I couldn’t wait another second; I needed to find Zhou Xuan and ask him face-to-face.

The airport hall wasn’t crowded on a weekday.

A sudden cramp in my stomach made me clutch my ticket and stumble into the restroom.

Having eaten nothing in the morning, I dry-heaved over the toilet for half a minute but couldn’t vomit anything.

I leaned against the partition wall, taking a few breaths.

Not far away, a voice that was all too familiar suddenly rang out.

“Be gentle, the door isn’t even locked.”

It was… Lin Xingyue.

“You’re the one who wanted the thrill, insisting on doing it here, right?”

Zhou Xuan’s voice carried a hint of restrained desire, “If it hurts, bear it. Don’t expect me to go easy.”

Lin Xingyue chuckled:

“You’re so heartless. Are you like this with Jiangjiang too? – Oh, by the way, she seemed to have called earlier. Are you really not planning to answer?”

“Shut up.”

Zhou Xuan seemed to bite down on something, his voice somewhat muffled, “Don’t mention her name at a time like this.”

“True, as you once said, no matter how good a dish is, eating it for over twenty years can make you sick of it.”

Lin Xingyue laughed and said,

“Do you think if Jiangjiang knew that last time you used the contract as an excuse to drive to the company in the pouring rain just to sleep with me, how heartbroken would she be?”

It felt as if the blood in my veins froze instantly.

The voice was so close, yet it seemed to come from a distant place.

Through a veil of mist, it fell into my ears.

I don’t know how long it took before I regained some strength, walked out, and forcefully pushed open the door to the innermost stall.

Everything before my eyes was absurd and unbearable.

With my stomach churning and intense pain, I opened my mouth and mechanically uttered:

“…Zhou Xuan.”

The two people in the stall froze abruptly, turning to look at me.
