You Xi trudged through the crowded subway, feeling as if her body was about to fall apart from fatigue. She rubbed her sore shoulders, lifted her head to glance at the bright lights above, her heart softening with fondness.
This was her home. The man she loved was inside.
As the elevator floor numbers increased, she eagerly unlocked her door with a key. There was a pair of women's shoes in the entrance area, a pair she recognized. They were the ones she had bought for Liu Chenyu.
An uncomfortable sensation of unease grew in her heart. Why didn’t Chenyu inform her when he came over? As far as she knew, Chenyu wasn't that close with Yuan Cheng; their acquaintance was only due to her.
The voices she heard seeping out from inside the apartment froze her on the spot. The voice was unmistakably Liu Chenyu's. But why did it sound so... coquettish… heaving with exertion?
"Yuan Cheng... Yuan Cheng... I... want..."
“Why so impatient…” The man's voice uttered with a hint of teasing mockery.
The man who spoke afterwards was Yuan Cheng. His steady voice was far from the norm, full of an unstable seductiveness!
You Xi's mind went blank, her face turned deathly pale. Even though she had never experienced it firsthand, she knew exactly what these sounds represented.
Clothes were littered across the living room, indicating just how intense their passion had been.
The master bedroom, directly facing the living room, was filled with scandalous sounds, the woman’s uninhibited moans reached her ears.
She felt a sense of retreat, her body laden with exhaustion; she had hoped to enjoy a moment of peace and comfort upon returning home. Instead, she was faced with such a bitter scene.
"You Xi has been busy with her drama team recently... and you... treat me like this…” A female voice said, clinging onto the man's shoulder with a seductive lilt, her words rudely interrupted by noises.
"Don't you like this? How can she compare to you? She's just a dead fish! You are much better!" The man laughed nastily, his labored breathing punctuating his words.
Yu Xi walked calmly into the living room, and sure enough, the sight that awaited her was not for the faint-hearted. Two naked bodies were entangling tightly...such a glaring sight was enough to make Yu Xi gag.
It was early winter and the weather was getting colder. Yu Xi went to the bathroom, fetched a whole basin of water, walked into the main bedroom, and mercilessly splashed it over both of them before they could react.
"Ah..." Liu Chenyu emitted a shocked scream, and they immediately pulled apart. They were both stunned the moment they saw Yu Xi.
Yu Xi remained silent, coldly watching the two of them in disarray, feeling as if her heart was being brutally torn apart.
Yuan Cheng hadn't expected Yu Xi to come back today. Yu Xi was a stunt double in a drama which involved multiple female leads. Since she was constantly on the shoot, her sudden return today was surprising.
"Weren't you supposed to be on the set? Why are you back?" Yuan Cheng asked with evident unease, but his tightly furrowed brows revealed his anger.
"If I wouldn't have returned, I would've missed this spectacular show!" Yu Xi flashed a fierce expression in her eyes, a brief flicker of murderous intent passing by.
"Yu Xi, are you trying to restrict my needs when you aren't here?" Yuan Cheng asked harshly.
Yuan Cheng haphazardly fetched some clothes from the wardrobe, loosely wore them, and tossed a blanket at Liu Chenyu.
Wrapping herself in the blanket, Liu Chenyu glared at Yu Xi, with not even a hint of guilt evident on her face.
"Get out!" Enraged by Liu Chenyu's provocative gaze, Yu Xi yelled.
With tears brimming in her eyes, Liu Chenyu looked at Yuan Cheng, her body shuddering from the cold, appearing pitiful.
Upon seeing Liu Chenyu's pitiful appearance, Yuan Cheng, full of machismo, felt an urge to protect her: "If you have a problem, take it out on me! Why are you angry at her? She's your best friend!"
