Wu Zheng found out my dissatisfaction and, tearfully, asked me for forgiveness. To placate me, he even bought a cruise trip that I had long wanted to go on.

Knowing that since we’re not getting a divorce, we have to find a way to live a pleasant life, I reluctantly agreed.

Seeing my approval, Wu Zheng was overjoyed. He immediately hugged and kissed me, his attitude humble as if he was begging me for something.

Seeing him like this, I couldn’t help but soften up and surprisingly reciprocated his advances for once.

That night, an unusual intimacy was shared between us, but I constantly felt a chill down my spine as if we were being watched.

But it was only Wu Zheng and I in the house, apart from my in-laws, and the curtains were drawn completely shut. Perhaps, I was just imagining things?

The next morning, Wu Zheng and I set off for our cruise.

Reaching the dock, I triple-checked to confirm that no one else was coming with us before feeling relaxed.

Once we were aboard, Wu Zheng seemed to be exceptionally excited. He opened a bottle of red wine from our room’s minibar and kept urging me to drink it.

After the drinks, I lay on the bed, feeling dizzy.

Wu Zheng kissed me and said, “Xiao An, I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me.”

Groggily, I nodded obediently.

I was lying in a stupor, losing the sense of time, when suddenly I felt a body pressing down on me.

The room was dark with the lights turned off. In the darkness, I began to kiss this person on top of me.

However, a pungent, revolting stench reached my senses, and when I felt the fat on this person’s body, a chill ran down my spine.

No, this isn't Wu Zheng.

“Who are you!” I was startled awake, quickly flipping on the table lamp.

As the light came on, I clearly saw that the one on top of me was a strange man - overweight with large ears and an ugly, murky face.

“Heh Heh,” The fat man laughed, entirely unabashed. “I thought with the lights off, you would be ugly. Didn’t expect such a beauty. How can your husband bear to let you go?”

Suddenly, a horrifying realization dawned on me - I had been subject to a wife swap by Wu Zheng yet again.

I attempted to wrestle myself out of bed, but just as I moved, I felt weak all over, and with an intense feeling of heat.

Thinking back to the wine earlier, it hit me: Wu Zheng had drugged me.

“Trying to run, are you?” The fat man pulled me forcefully back to the bed, breath reeking of alcohol, “My wife has already been enjoying your husband, where do you think you’re going?”

I protested with ear-piercing screams, my nails scratching down the man's arm in desperation.

This act incensed the fat man even further.

He grabbed my hair, slamming my head ruthlessly against the bedside table, cursing venomously, “You whore, It's your damn good fortune to attend to me. Don't turn down good liquor only to drink the punishment instead!”

I sobbed, struggling, but the fat man just ripped off his own trousers, forcing my head downwards.

The smell of sweat and odor hit me, and sheer revulsion makes me retch.

I vomited right onto the overweight man.

The fat man was now entirely enraged, and he slapped my face.

"You damn whore, do you wanna die?!" He cursed furiously. "Damn you! Spitting on me, lick it up now!"

And with his hand, he forced my head downwards.

I screamed out in terror, kicking about wildly, causing quite a commotion.

Suddenly, in the midst of the chaos, the doorbell rang.

"Who's there?!" The obese man hastily covered my mouth and yelled out to the door.

"You're making too much noise." A man's voice came from outside.

I bit down hard on the obese man, causing him to let go in pain. I quickly shouted out, "Help, please help...”

But a harsh slap from him sent me sprawling.

A moment of silence at the door, then the man's voice returned, "Open up, or I'll call the police."

Finally, the obese man panicked and hastily released me.

What happened next is fuzzy in my memory.

I only remember my body, under the influence of the drugs, growing hotter and hotter to bear.

Feeling drowsy, I saw a man standing at the door. He said something to the obese man who, cursing and swearing, left.

The man came into the room, checked on my condition, asking if I needed to go to the hospital or should he call the police.

But I couldn't utter a word, as my body felt as if it was about to explode with heat.

Finally, unable to bear it anymore, I hugged the man in front of me tightly.

To this day, I still do not know whether I was under the influence of the drugs, or whether something deep within me wanted to take revenge on Wu Zheng in this way.
