That night, Jiang Yi was coaxed by the man into calling him "husband" and "gege" countless times. He seemed insatiable, listening to her call out to him over and over again, nearly a hundred times without getting tired of it.

In the end, Jiang Yi begged for mercy, saying she had to go to class the next day and needed to get up early, which finally put an end to it.

But the man didn't leave! Not only did he not leave, he forcefully carried her into the bathroom to wash her, meticulously and personally wiping away the s3men he had left on her body.

When cleaning her inner thighs, he noticed the marks left on her skin and furrowed his brows.

"How can your skin be so sensitive? It's so delicate, it turned red after just a few thrusts."

Jiang Yi blushed and remained silent.

What do you mean just a few thrusts? It was clearly a long time...

After finally finishing the bath, the man left. She glanced at her unfinished homework, feeling frustrated and wronged, and sat back down to write. After rushing through the last bit of homework, another half hour passed, and it was already 11:30. She took a deep breath, ready to go to bed.

But just before turning off the light, the man returned. He said he wanted to apply medicine to her, his actions forceful and impossible to refuse. Though he was rough when spreading her legs, he became gentle when actually applying the medicine, his movements light and tender, as if handling a precious treasure.

His expression while applying the medicine was just like Zhong Lin's, giving her the feeling of being deeply loved.

Jiang Yi shook her head, driving away the thought. After the man finished applying the medicine, she said she wanted to sleep, hoping to indirectly remind him to leave.

But the man unexpectedly took off his robe and lay down on the bed, pulling her into his arms.

Jiang Yi struggled slightly, but was quickly silenced by the man's stern warning.

"A married couple should sleep together, don't you agree, wife?"

Jiang Yi thought about how she had been forced to call him "husband" so many times before, her cheeks flushed, and she had no choice but to give in to his dominance.

After the lights were turned off, Jiang Yi, nestled in the man's embrace, thought about how she had been in Zhong Lin's arms the night before, and now she was in another man's arms tonight.

In the darkness, Jiang Yi felt surrounded by the man's scent, aggressively invading her senses. She closed her eyes, listening to the steady, powerful beat of his heart, and gradually fell asleep to its rhythm.

Jiang Yi thought that after that night, if she avoided him, she and Qin Zezhou would have no further contact. But she forgot about Qin Feifei.

The next day at school, Qin Zezhou offered to drive them and share a ride.

When they got out of the car, he wore a faint smile and said to Jiang Yi, "You’re welcome to visit again."

Jiang Yi averted her gaze, "We'll see." But she didn't get the chance to say more. As soon as she entered the classroom, she received a message.

It was from an unknown number, but the content...

[My wife was so cold this morning, it breaks your husband's heart. Did I not satisfy you last night? Looks like I'll have to try harder next time.]

Jiang Yi's pupils contracted as her heart raced uncontrollably. She panicked, blacking out the screen, her hasty movements betraying her guilt.

Before she could recover from the message, her phone vibrated again.

She jumped, her back trembling.
