Chapter 16: The Two Sides of the Mask

  When it comes to the nightlife of red lanterns and green wine, today's Beijing is far inferior to Wushan. Before the "Regulations on the Management of Foreigners" was issued last year, foreigners in Beijing could only move around a few foreign-related hotels such as the Friendship Hotel and the Beijing Hotel. Even now, signs prohibiting foreigners from passing through can still be seen occasionally on the roads leading to the suburbs of Beijing.

  Inland cities are generally still in a closed state, let alone as the capital city of the Republic.

  A black sedan drove through the streets of Beijing, although the streetlights were shining brightly, but along the way, except for hotels and restaurants, it was hard to see a few public places that were still open. At this time, it was just past 10 o'clock at night in Wudaokou, and for many people, the nightlife had only just begun.

  As soon as they entered the Friendship Hotel's grand lobby, which resembled a small palace, two young security personnel immediately approached them and politely searched them. The two young men were very spirited and courteous, but their eyes scrutinized Lu Zhen and his companion with great vigilance.

  Youyi Hotel only receives foreign friends, or some personnel related to external unit liaison activities. Now it's midnight, domestic individual guests will not be received naturally.

  Jiao Yue hastily borrowed a phone from the main hall and contacted the resident staff of Changming Group's office.

  Lu Zhong waited on the side, lit a cigarette. Here, even if the county magistrate's work permit was taken out, it would be useless.

  A few minutes later, Jennifer rushed over and the two security guards nonchalantly returned to their seats in the rest area, and if you didn't look closely, you would have thought they were also customers here.

  ……

  Youyi Hotel covers an area of over 500 mu, the whole building group is full of oriental charm, with Youyi Palace as the center, it is distributed in a symmetrical fan shape. The five buildings with strong ethnic colors all have green glazed tile roofs, flying eaves and carved beams.

  The hotel has four relatively independent small areas, named "Su Garden", "Xiang Garden", "Yi Garden" and "Ya Garden". The garden styles are different: "Su Garden" is a replica of Suzhou gardens; "Xiang Garden" is a miniature of northern Chinese farmhouse courtyards; "Yi Garden" is an imitation of the scenic features of Yiheyuan; "Ya Garden" is a playground designed for foreign children living here.

  As he strolled through the entire building complex, Lu Zhong sometimes felt as if he was not in a hotel, but in a park. The trees were lush and dense, and from time to time, a pavilion or glazed tile roof would appear, with many delicate decorations that made Lu Zhong sigh at their unique craftsmanship.

  "The air is great tonight, Mr. Lu, nice to see you." Walking in the ancient corridor, Jennifer politely said to Lu Zhen.

  This is Su Garden, with winding corridors surrounding the pavilions and courtyards, adorned with flowers, trees, stone peaks, small bridges, flowing water, and rugged artificial hills, presenting a picturesque landscape of southern China's water town.

  Beyond the stone bridge, across a bay of water running from west to east, are several southern-style pavilions hidden among flowers, trees and rocks, known as the Su Yuan Garden. These independent courtyards are also the most expensive suites in the Youyi Hotel.

  Wei Xiangxiu lived in No. 2 Courtyard of Su Garden.

  A building in the style of southern folk residence, in front of the gate, a bluestone path winds its way from the corridor to the surrounding wall, where there is an ancient and elegant two-story pavilion.

  "Two minutes ago, I invited Miss Wei and the others to play tennis in this house, but she didn't want to go," Jennifer said with a smile as she knocked on the door with an iron ring. "Mr. Lu, do I have the honor of inviting you?" She seemed to think it was inappropriate and explained, "We worked overtime until 9 o'clock and just finished dinner, so I thought they should relax."

  Jennifer is the head of Changming Company's Beijing office. Although her Chinese is a bit stiff, she has no problem communicating with people. She doesn't know that Lu Zheng is actually the big boss behind the scenes, but she knows that the company's president, Mr. Schroeder, has great respect for Lu Zheng, and their relationship is very close. As the party secretary of the company, he can also be considered a high-level manager of the company's operations team. When it comes to work, Jennifer is naturally cautious, so as not to give the headquarters a bad impression that they are just having fun in Beijing.

  "Tennis?" Lu Zhong was taken aback for a moment, his hand slightly itchy, having not held a tennis racket in a long time.

  Footsteps echoed from the courtyard, followed by a creaking sound as the wooden door was pulled open. Standing in the doorway was a stunning red-haired woman wearing a sleek black leather jacket and pants that accentuated her fiery figure. She seemed to have been born solely to entice men with her captivating gaze.

  Looking at Wei Xiang's charming and beautiful waterfall-like red long hair, Lu Zhong was surprised for a good half day with his mouth agape.

  Although I knew Wei Xiangxiu loved beauty, she had a habit of secretly curling her hair. The curls were not big and were hidden under the large brimmed hat when on duty, so they couldn't be seen. But now what? Is it over?

  "Jennifer took me to get my hair done, I thought this color was pretty nice, so I wanted to try it out, and I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated, but it's quite beautiful, right?" Wei Xiangxiu grasped the tips of her neatly trimmed red hair on either side of her face with both hands, presenting them to Lu Zhen like a treasure, making her look even more lovely and cute.

  "Beauty is beauty, but can't the days be over?" Lu Zhong said helplessly, but in his heart he had to admit that Wei Xiangxiu was now so enchanting as to be unseemly.

  But now it's just like Youyi Hotel and other foreign-related places that have such exaggerated decorations.

  "I'll just return after the New Year's holiday." Wei Xiangxiu said indifferently, now that her situation in the unit was also hopeless, it seemed like she had given up on striving for excellence and was preparing to start coasting through life.

  Lu Zhong coughed and said, "Alright, let's go play tennis. I'll take the opportunity to talk to you about something."

  "Alright, you teach me then?" Here, Wei Xiangxiu seemed to have touched upon an unknown side of this world. She felt curious about everything, but just now Lu Zhen was not around, she would not go out and play with someone unrelated.

  ……

  The indoor tennis court of Youyi Hotel is not big, with only three adjacent tennis courts, but the air conditioner blows warm wind, and the hotel is warm like spring.

  Lu Zhong and several male employees of Changming Company changed into their uniforms in the locker room before entering the stadium, four male employees, one West German, one American, one Italian, and one Chinese.

  There were only a few of them inside the ballroom. Originally, it was supposed to be closed at 9 o'clock, but after Jennifer and the hotel side communicated for a long time, they were given two hours.

  Lu Zhong sat on a bench in the stadium's rest area and laughed: "We're almost as good as the Eight-Nation Alliance."

  Western staff at the Beijing office are all familiar with Chinese and were transferred from headquarters to do propaganda, market research, contact technical departments of the Academy of Sciences, etc.

  The Chinese staff member is Zhao Letian, a locally recruited Beijing native who graduated from Hua Xia University last year.

  Three Western staff members have been influenced by Western media for a long time, no matter how gentlemanly they appear on the surface, when facing Chinese people, their inherent arrogance cannot be concealed, and their language and actions always subtly imply that they are superior.

  Especially since they were unclear about Lu Zhong's specific position, and only heard Jennifer say that Lu Zhong was a high-ranking executive of the company's Chinese side, they felt even more resentful. A Chinese person, can manage an enterprise? They're just a figurehead who got in through political connections.

  Zhao Letian had just walked out of the school gate, also a student with a proud bone, and not very good relationship with three Western colleagues. He was also dismissive of Lu Zhong.

  It was Lu Zhong who started a joke, but no one responded.

  Lu Zhong smiled and went to fiddle with the racket in his hand. To be honest, the racket prepared by Youyi Hotel was not bad, French Babolat, touching each string, you could feel how fine its workmanship was.

  Suddenly, the Westerners sitting next to Lu Zhong's side made a commotion. Jason, the tallest and most majestic American mixed-blood, put his fingers in his mouth and blew a loud whistle.

  Zhao Letian was relatively reserved, but he also stared intently at the passageway in the west.

  Lu Zhong actually didn't need to look to know, it must be Wei Xiangxiu and Jennifer who came out.

  But as the fragrance wafted up, Wei Xiangxiu walked up to him, and in a glance, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

  Pure white tennis dress, white shoes and white socks, invincible youth. Faintly visible, the snow-white skirt reveals the devilish figure of Wei Xiangxiu, a sexy siren, with her slender legs under the short hem, dazzling onlookers. This fiery siren appears in a refreshing and pure girl's outfit, truly a different kind of temptation.

  "It's a bit chilly." Wei Xiangxiu pulled down her skirt, and Jennifer laughed beside her: "Exercise a bit to warm up, dear Wei, Mr. Lu and I, who do you want as your tennis coach?"

  Lu Zhong smiled and waved his hand, "You guys go play first, I'll talk to Wei for a bit."

  Jennifer made an OK gesture and then went down to warm up with the players. Zhao Letian couldn't play tennis, so it was just right that there were four of them, two on each side for a doubles match.

  Wei Xiangxiu sat down beside Lu Zhong, the fragrance wafted into Lu Zhong's nostrils, and with a slight bow of her head, it was Wei Xiangxiu's slender legs that were tightly closed together, full of temptation. Lu Zhong coughed, and in his heart, he suddenly felt a little confused.

  Several foreigners were warming up on the field, while the Chinese who didn't go down walked away with a distant stride. Wei Xiangxiu blinked her charming eyes and smiled: "Living bandit, thinking of women again?"

  Lu Zhong glared at her, "If I were really a bandit, I would have taken you as my mountain stronghold mistress long ago!"

  Wei Xiangxiu pouted, "Do you think others don't think so? Ask Jiao Ye, in his eyes, am I not your kept woman?"

  Lu Zhong coughed, thought for a moment, and seemed to have confirmed that people like Jiao Yan and Huang Saner had already determined in their hearts that the relationship between him and Wei Xiangxiu was not ordinary.

  "But it doesn't matter, I brought it on myself. How others see me, I don't care, and I'm happy about it. From the start, I've been wrong to you, using you, yet you're still so good to me. Even if you were to sell me to Africa now, I wouldn't have any complaints, really!" Wei Xiangxiu suddenly said in a low, mournful tone.

  You can hear the sincerity in Wei Xiangxiu's words, Lu Zhong was taken aback for a moment before laughing and saying: "What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly make the atmosphere so heavy?"

  Wei Xiangxiu turned her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Zhong, and said: "We're also going to be apart soon, there are many things I want to make clear with you, otherwise, I'd really owe you an apology."

  "I'll be moving out of your house soon, now my family's situation has improved a lot. The rent, Xiao Jing's salary and other expenses are all being paid with your money, actually I've been saving it up. Later on, I'll slowly pay you back, but you need to mentally prepare yourself. I've calculated it, including interest, it'll take at least five years to clear the debt."

  Lu Zhong slightly furrowed his brow: "Are you trying to draw a line between us?"

  "You're here to draw a line between us, aren't you? I've been expecting this. Once you've told your family, our connection will be severed. But let's not call it a connection - it's always been me relying on you. To be honest, I've also disliked myself for being like this. However, since meeting you and receiving your care, my life has suddenly changed. My work has become smoother, and my life has improved. Even my family back home doesn't need me to worry about them anymore. I've gradually grown dependent on you - isn't that a kind of sickness? And don't you dislike being with a woman like me?"

  Lu Zhong scratched his head and said, "I've heard a saying that I think makes sense. Behind every successful man is a woman who has eaten her fill and has nothing better to do."

  Wei Xiangxiu was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, like a peony flower blooming, charming and beautiful. She gave Lu Zhong a white eye: "You, always so heartless! Don't know if it's real or fake!"

  Lu Zhong frowned: "I'm too lazy to listen to you say this! Am I not careful with you?!"

  "Look...", Wei Xiangxiu was somewhat speechless, and then sighed softly, saying: "Whether you want to listen or not, you won't be able to hear it anymore. Being the woman behind your back must be very happy, unfortunately, it's not me..."

  Lu Zhong suddenly felt a little desolate in his heart. If he really parted with Wei Xiangxiu, would he miss her? It seemed that he really would miss her.

  Lu Zhong shook his head. This life, wasn't he determined to never again have emotional involvement with women? The current mood was not a good omen.

  "Hey, if we just cut off like this, will you think of me in the future?" Lu Zhong suddenly became very interested in this question and wanted to know the answer.

  Wei Xiangxiu was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter and saying: "I eat your food, I live in your house, with such a wealthy master like you, how could I not think about it?"

  Lu Zhong waved his hand in a dismissive manner, as if shooing away flies. Damn it, just like in her past life, this woman had set her sights on him, and was after his money.

  Wei Xiangxiu finally mustered up the courage to say, "There's something else I have to tell you. Actually, that night, nothing happened between us. It was all a lie."

  "What? Which night? What's going on between us?" Lu Zhong was momentarily stunned.

  "That night on the Gold Coast, didn't you think that with me... , it was only after that, that you started taking care of my... " As she spoke, Wei Xiangxiu didn't dare look at Lu Zhong again. Heaven knows what kind of reaction the bandit would have if he found out that everything from start to finish was a scam!

  Then, Wei Xiangxiu felt that the air temperature in this place seemed to drop suddenly by ten degrees, with a cold wind and a chill gradually invading her entire body.

  Wei Xiangxiu still didn't dare to turn her head to look at Lu Zhong, but in her heart, she wasn't particularly afraid. On the contrary, she felt a weight had been lifted off her shoulders. No matter what consequences came next, it was all her own doing, and she couldn't blame anyone else, not even the bandit who had wronged her. Even if he beat her to death, she would consider it as paying him back for everything.

  "Wei Xiangxiu, do you know or not, I once told you that there was a woman who was sold to Africa by me, this matter is true." Lu Zhong's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

  Lu Zhong looked at Wei Xiang's slender and beautiful back, the anger in his heart was about to erupt like a volcano, rushing straight to his head. Such an important matter, he had believed it to be true, yet he ended up being a fool! Even if it were a past life, who could have toyed with him so much?

  But why did I remember that night as if it were true?!

  Good heavens, even dreams deceive oneself?!

  In Lu Zhong's heart, the evil fire was getting stronger and stronger, but thinking about the little things he had been through with Wei Xiangxiu, he really didn't know how to discipline her.

  Just then, a gust of wind blew from behind, and Lu Zhong, who was filled with rage, instinctively dodged to the side. A dark shadow brushed past his face, scraping his cheek and causing him to feel a sharp pain.

  A dark shadow fell to the ground and bounced away, but it was just a tennis ball.

  On the court, Jason from America raised his thumb high and slowly turned to point at the ground, shouting: "Lu! Let's have a showdown!" Apparently he was unhappy seeing Lu Zhen and the beautiful Eastern beauty flirting with each other by the sidelines.

  Jason is a mixed-race of black and white, with an extremely tall and strong physique, and his ball skills are not bad. No one on the court can be his opponent. Feld from Italy received his consecutive heavy dunks, accidentally fell to the ground, and scraped his knee, which was bleeding badly. He limped to the sidelines to treat his wound, and it seemed that he couldn't play again.

  Lu Zhong's heart was burning with anger and he had nowhere to vent it, when suddenly someone provoked him, immediately finding a target, he slowly walked onto the court.

  Jason smiled contentedly and pointed at Lu Zhen with his racket, saying: "You replace that soft egg Field, and team up with Steve. The three of you men are all soft eggs!"

  Steve glared at Jason, this show-off American, who was really annoying.

  Lu Zhong smiled and said: "Jason, how about this? You and I, one on one?"

  Jason's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at Lu Zhen, and then burst out laughing: "Alright, Chinese guy, you're the one who challenged me." Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of that pure and sexy Eastern beauty also coming to watch the battle, thinking about how he would beat this Chinese guy until he was panting like a dog, feeling even more pleased with himself.

  Jennifer glanced at her watch and said, "It's getting late, if you want to compete, there won't be enough time. Let's just play casually, no need to take it seriously." After all, Lu Zhong was a high-ranking executive in the Chinese company, she couldn't make him lose face.

  Jason, however, was completely indifferent to Jennifer's good intentions, his eyes fixed intently on Lu Zheng, as if a beast had spotted its prey. "Lu, let's play one game, winner takes all!"

  "Suppose there isn't enough time either?" Jennifer said helplessly.

  "Jason burst out laughing: 'Miss Hawkins, how is this possible?'"

  In a tennis match, the winner of a set is the first to win six games, provided he leads by two. In a long set, if the score reaches 5-5, the players continue until one of them wins by two games. If the players are closely matched, it may take a very long time to end a set.

  But this Chinese guy? Jason looked at Lu Zhen with disdain, and it was unclear whether he could even play tennis.

  Jennifer blinked and looked at Lu Zhen: "Mr. Lu, have you ever played tennis before?"

  Who knew, Lu Zhēng nodded and smiled: "Miss Hawkins, don't worry, I'm quite good at tennis. And I also think that from now on, there's enough time to take care of Jason."

  Jennifer had no choice but to say: "Then I'll be your ball boy." She slowly retreated to the sidelines.

  Jason tossed a tennis ball to Lu Zhen and said with a grin, "You serve first."

  Lu Zhong gently pinched the white tennis ball in his hand and smiled: "Jason, if you don't mind, I can let you serve for the first six games."

  On the sidelines, Felder and Steve both burst out laughing. It was always Jason who provoked others, but this Chinese guy was ten times more arrogant than Jason, giving Jason six consecutive serves? This was simply contemptuous of adults towards children.

  Jason's face turned iron-blue. "Lu, I'll teach you a lesson!" In Jennifer's "Ready" voice, he slowly retreated to the front of the rear court.

  "PLAY!" Jennifer made a gesture.

  Lu Zhong suddenly jumped up and swung his racket, a white shadow flashed towards Jason's right rear half court corner. Jason sprinted over, but he didn't even have time to swing his racket, the ball had already smashed into the scoring zone and bounced out.

  Everyone present was stunned, Lu Zhong's angle of hitting the ball was not to mention, it was exactly on the line, this accuracy should be a fluke, but his strength in hitting the ball was too astonishing, even if it were the current tennis master McEnroe, he might occasionally flash with inspiration to hit such a high-speed ball!

  "Again!" Jason spat out a wad of saliva and slowly moved to the middle of the rear court.

  "PLAY!" Jennifer made a gesture.

  Then, Lu Zhong jumped up and swung his racket again, with the same posture, the same ball speed, and even the landing point of the ball was almost the same. This time, Jason flew over to make a swinging motion, but still didn't hit the ball. He also failed to pull his leg back in time and rolled to the ground.

  Wei Xiangxiu couldn't understand what was going on and only thought that Lu Zhong, this live bandit, was really formidable. How could he be so capable? Moreover, his fighting skills should be quite good too.

  Feld, Steve and Jennifer were all stunned. Lu was simply at the level of a professional player, and even among professionals, he would be considered a master. Why hadn't he participated in professional competitions? The Chinese were really unbelievable.

  Jennifer even forgot to report the score of "30: 0".

  The next game was almost a show for Lu Zong, with the first set ending in 4 Aces (serving directly scoring and the opponent not touching the ball).

  In the second game, Jason's serve game, he served four points and lost four points, and was perfectly broken by Lu Zhe.

  The second game had just ended, Jason threw down his racket and shouted at Lu Zhen: "Lu, you Chinese are magical, I give up!"

  Feld and Steve also came over, asking questions and giving thumbs up, praising Lu Zhong's attitude, which was a world of difference from just now.

  "Mr. Lu, if the company organizes a tennis match, you must participate," Jennifer said with a smile.

  Lu Zhong smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the schedule."

  He was originally a sports cell, and after his rebirth, whether it was the coordination of his body, reaction force, strength or agility, he had all reached an unprecedented height, and Lu Zhong himself could also feel it.

  This tennis match is just a warm-up exercise.

  Then Feld and Steve asked Lu Zhen to teach them tennis skills, even Jason came over and humbly asked for guidance.

  Losing is losing, and the strong are worthy of respect. Jason, like many Americans, has a pragmatic personality.

  Zhao Letian stood far away, as if he couldn't fully blend in with this world.

  ……

  Until the stadium staff came to urge them, Lu Zhong and others went to the locker room to wash up and change clothes, preparing to leave the stadium.

  Tong Fei'er, Steve and Jason discussed tennis for more than half an hour, with actual examples to teach them how to serve. In fact, Lu Zheng didn't know what he was saying to them, his mind was a bit confused, and he didn't even know what he wanted to do.

  Meanwhile, Wei Xiang noticed that she had left dejectedly. Originally, she had come over to bid farewell to Lu Zhong, but he didn't even acknowledge her.

  As soon as Lu Zhong entered the washing room and turned the faucet, there was no water. Next door, Jason started cursing loudly.

  Call the staff, only to find out that the ballroom stopped hot water for bathing at 9 o'clock sharp. Just now, they just provided lighting and air conditioning, but the hot water was not under their control. Jason and others made a fuss, saying good or bad, the staff just spread their hands and said they had no way, asking Jason and others to go back to their rooms to take a shower.

  Helpless, Lu Zhong and others had to change their clothes. They had just sweated in the gym and hadn't showered before putting on winter clothes, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable.

  Outside the ballroom, at the entrance, Jennifer was waiting. Listening to Jason and others scolding, she smiled slightly and said to Lu Zhen: "Mr. Lu, you'd better take a shower here before going home, otherwise it's too hard on the way."

  Lu Zhong nodded slightly, he had this intention, and asked: "Which room is Xiao Jiao staying in?" Before going to the ballroom, seeing that it might take a long time, Lu Zhong couldn't let Jiao Lei wait foolishly in the hall, so he asked Jennifer to temporarily open a room for Jiao Lei.

  "Mr. Jiao lives in the west building, which is very far from here. Moreover, he insists on opening a shared double room with others, and I'm afraid it's not very convenient to take a bath. If you don't mind, Miss Wei's room is just over there, and there are two bathrooms." Jennifer pointed to a place not far away, which was indeed the entrance of Su Garden.

  Lu Zhong nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's go to Su Garden." He thought for a moment, it really couldn't end like this, there were many things that hadn't been clarified, leaving Wei Xiangxiu in Beijing by herself, no matter what the reason was, it wasn't quite right.

  "Do you know the way?" Jennifer asked.

  Lu Zhong nodded, and Su Yuan's villas were still easy to find.

  ……

  The iron ring knocked on the door for a while before footsteps were heard in the yard, and then stopped at the door, seemingly looking out from the gap.

  Then the door was pulled open and Wei Xiangxiu's face showed a look of surprise, "I, I was just thinking that too, if you ignore me like this, I don't know how much more apologetic I can be."

  Lu Zhong walked into the yard with a poker face and said, "I'm here to take a bath. The ballroom doesn't have hot water anymore."

  Wei Xiangxiu didn't dare say anything more and followed Lu Zhong into the villa's attic.

  This small two-story pavilion looks antique and elegant from the outside, with a green glazed tile roof, flying eaves and carved beams.

  Inside, equally beautiful and magnificent, wooden stairs lead upstairs, with red wood carvings visible everywhere, intricately carved and exquisite patterns. Embroidered screens, classical window frames, full of oriental charm, even the master bedroom on the second floor is a beautifully crafted ancient-style rosewood bed frame, with red curtains lifted high by golden hooks, embroidered quilts and pillows, shining brightly under the light, truly luxurious. Standing in it, it's as if you've entered the home of an ancient king or wealthy nobleman.

  The bathroom was full of modern atmosphere. Wei Xiangxiu was busy pouring hot water into the bathtub, fetching towels, bathrobes and slippers.

  Until Lu Zhong entered the bathroom, Wei Xiangxiu touched the hot water in the bathtub and said: "Okay." She looked at Lu Zhong's face and slowly walked out.

  Lu Zhong had been soaking in the bathtub for over half an hour and only came out after washing up, wearing his bathrobe.

  Wei Xiangxiu was sitting on the big red sofa in the outer room of the suite, watching TV. The sexy beauty wrapped in a snow-white bath towel, sitting on the bright red sofa, was a sharp contrast in itself, a contrast that could give people strong erotic hints.

  Seeing Lu Zhong, Wei Xiangxiu hastily stood up and asked: "Have you finished washing?"

  A waterfall of red hair cascaded down her alabaster shoulders, a towel wrapped around her towering breasts revealed half of her snow-white skin, and the deep cleavage was clearly visible. Below, a pair of slender legs were clad in crystal high-heeled slippers, smooth jade feet painted with rose-like deep red nail polish, subtly shining, making one want to take a bite. The beauty's snowy feet have always been associated with sex and bed since ancient times, evoking such thoughts in men.

  Lu Zhong looked around and found that apart from the sofa, there seemed to be no other place for people to sit.

  "Why don't you lie down on the bed for a while and think about it, then tell me when you're ready to go? I'll call you at that time."

  Lu Zhong waved his hand and said, "I'll leave as soon as I dry off."

  Wei Xiangxiu walked over to the side and said, "Then you sit on the sofa, don't stand, I'm not used to it." Then she paced in front of the TV and said, "Do you want to watch a TV series or news? Do you want to watch a foreign channel?"

  Looking at this bath towel beauty who is full of seductive charm from head to toe, every move of her jade arms and powder legs is really a pleasure.

  Lu Zhong's gaze suddenly fell on Wei Xiangxiu's white, milk-like skin on her back and shoulders outside the bath towel. He saw a colorful butterfly tattooed at the base of her shoulder blades, the butterfly was lifelike and seemed to be flying. Underneath the bath towel, there should be another butterfly, but only one corner of its wing was visible. The snow-white delicate skin paired with the colorful tattoos was extremely sexy, **sensual to the bone**.

  Lu Zheng was stunned and slowly sat down on the sofa, coldly laughing: "I didn't know you were so avant-garde."

  "What's wrong?"

  Looking at her bright and beautiful appearance under the innocent expression, Lu Zhong had already forgotten that he was originally going to have a good talk with her. A surge of anger rose in his heart. Such a big thing dared to lie, but didn't know how many things she had deceived herself about. Her previous Chapter Director, even when she was afraid of going to the police school, might not be much better than this.

  Lu Zhong suddenly thought of the protagonist of a martial arts novel, Ah Fei. His woman was like that, flirting with others, even the janitor, but forbidding Ah Fei from touching her. In front of Ah Fei, she was the most chaste and holy girl.

  I've been made a fool of all these days for nothing.

  Lu Zhong's voice grew colder, "You seem quite good at seducing people, I suppose you've seduced many before?"

  Wei Xiang's face turned slightly pale, then she burst out laughing: "Ah, how did you know? I was able to get into the police academy, get a job at the bureau, and get promoted, wasn't it all because of flirting with men? How come you're only realizing this now?"

  Lu Zhong knew that he needed to calm down now. Wei Xiangxiu, through various contacts, should not be a woman who is easily swayed by emotions, but he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable anger in his heart. His impulsive and extreme personality, typical of someone in their twenties, took over. He deceived himself into thinking that he had to take revenge on her! He had to hurt her!

  He even had an impulse to sell the woman in front of him to Africa.

  "Now you know what kind of person I am? You can keep your distance from me!" Wei Xiangxiu's voice also gradually turned cold, as if she had made some sort of decision.

  Deep down, Lu Zhong had a premonition that he was going to be abandoned again, and this feeling was the lingering nightmare of his childhood. His biological parents had abandoned him once, and the death of his adoptive mother was also a kind of abandonment for young him. What he feared most was this feeling, what he hated most was also this feeling.

  His eyes were almost bloodshot, and Lu Zhong even himself didn't know what he was saying, "Stay away from you? Is it that easy?"

  "What do you want then?" The silhouette of the person speaking across from him seemed to be gradually becoming blurry and unclear.

  What should I do? What should I do? Lu Zhong was also asking himself, what should he do?

  "I'm also teasing you, okay?! Don't you feel like you're at a disadvantage?" Perhaps it was because she saw Lu Zhong's slightly bloodshot eyes staring at her that Wei Xiangxiu had misinterpreted the situation, so she blurted out this sentence.

  Wei Xiangxiu's slightly melancholic voice made Lu Zhong slightly startled, his mind gradually clearing up. At this time, Wei Xiangxiu had already walked to his front with a thud, her slender jade foot kicking off the crystal high-heeled slippers. Although the movement was stiff, the implication of this action itself was so enticing.

  Then, Wei Xiangxiu jumped onto the sofa, her white and slender legs spread apart, straddling Lu Zhen's waist. Lu Zhen immediately felt the amazing elasticity of her buttocks and the irresistible temptation of her gentle touch, with only two thin towels separating them, Wei Xiangxiu's sensual body was almost tightly pressed against his, and Lu Zhen's lower abdomen suddenly ignited with a burning flame.

  Wei Xiangxiu's shiny, tempting red lips lightly pressed against Lu Zhong's mouth, her soft tongue tip gently touching, Lu Zhong only felt a mouthful of fragrance, refreshing and cool.

  Lu Zhēng let out a cold snort, unable to believe she was this kind of person. With a sudden slap, "slap", Wei Xiangxiu instantly fell from Lu Zhēng's body and landed on the carpet, her bath towel half-falling off, revealing half of her ** and snow-white beautiful legs entirely exposed. Adding to that, her terrified expression with her hands covering her face made her look like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, making any man now have an overwhelming urge to violently violate her.

  Lu Zhong grabbed the towel in front of her chest and pulled it down violently, instantly exposing Wei Xiangxiu's fiery body to the air. Her towering figure was full of oppressive charm, with a slender waist that seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and delicate legs that curved timidly. The white underwear with a hint of black mist was almost driving him crazy. Then, Lu Zhong's head spun, and he saw tattoos on Wei Xiangxiu's chest, legs, and between her breasts - colorful flowers and patterns extended all the way to her flat, snowy abdomen, like a beautiful and seductive flower fairy.

  Lu Zhong only felt his whole body hot like a furnace, and he couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly grabbed this seductive and charming woman, feeling the unparalleled pleasure brought by her naked and slippery body. He hummed: "Today I must play with you to death!" With large strides, he walked towards the bedroom.

  Her face was burning with pain, but in her heart, she was bitter. Originally, she had already thought it through - Lu Zhen's family background must be extraordinary, how could they possibly agree to him being with a divorced woman like herself? This time when he went back home and mentioned this matter, it would probably mark the end of their relationship.

  I have nothing to give him, just give my body to him before breaking up, fortunately, I am clean and innocent, never been touched by a man, so my guilt can be reduced.

  She had a temporary tattoo on her body, which was given by Jennifer after seeing her own tattoo. It's said to be high-quality and won't fade even after showering or exercising for three to five days. She put it on thinking of giving Lu Zhen an unforgettable memory.

  But unexpectedly, although it's still for him, it has evolved into this kind of situation.

  Looking at Lu Zhong's icy face, Wei Xiangxiu's heart was filled with shamelessness. She understood the ferocity of this living bandit and thought about Yang Chaoyang being beaten in the Feicui Dance Hall. Suddenly, Wei Xiangxiu felt a chill run down her spine. But all of this is fate, isn't it? He likes to torment himself however he wants, it's up to him. If she has wronged him, then even if she torments herself to death, she will have no regrets.

  The bandit of living soil has nothing to say for himself.

  The bed creaked as Wei Xiangxiu's proud and beautiful body was thrown onto it, then Lu Zhong pounced on her. Amidst the creaking of the bed, Lu Zhong almost tore into her, using force to suckle her enchanting body, as if he were kissing a seductive flower from another space-time. As he sucked on Wei Xiangxiu's navel, it was as if he were sucking on the two red lips of the seductive flower. The taste was simply indescribable, Lu Zhong felt like he was about to explode.

  "Ah!" Wei Xiangxiu suddenly let out a loud cry, pushing Lu Zhong away with force. "It hurts, it hurts..." Tears quickly welled up in her eyes.

  Lu Zhong's hand grasped Wei Xiangxiu's delicate, flowing red hair, forcing her face, contorted in a painful and alluring expression, into the bedding. She couldn't even cry out, and her tears only dampened the silk quilt. Lu Zhong let out a long sigh, savoring the wonderful sensation of her tightly closed body beneath him. Although he felt a slight dryness, which caused him some minor pain, it was an exquisite pleasure nonetheless.

  Underneath the sexy babe, intense struggle, as if it really hurts, but brings a strange stimulation to the man's body.

  Lu Zhong slowly lifted Xiao Youwu's legs, which had dark tattoos, and hung them over his arm. He looked at the blurry image of the tall man in the copper mirror next to him, then gently moved, occasionally touching Xiao Youwu's buttocks, feeling extremely enjoyable. Finally, Lu Zhong pressed down hard, squeezing Xiao Youwu tightly, and thrust forward desperately, the feeling of being on cloud nine rising up his mind again and again.

  In the quilt, the little thing's crying voice was intermittent, but that painful cry made Lu Zhong more excited than ever. He violently thrust, wanting to crush this tiny thing into powder...

  ……

  The sky gradually brightened, but Lu Zhong was still staring blankly at the crimson stains on the brocade quilt.

  Wei Xiangxiu was in a state of stupor, but the tears on her face and the occasional painful frown told Lu Zhong that she must be having a nightmare. Her body was covered with a quilt, but Lu Zhong didn't know how many red marks he had left on that snow-white skin.

  Last night, it didn't take long for Lu Zhen to discover the bloodstains on the quilt when he wanted to change positions. And whether it was menstrual blood or not, Lu Zhen could still tell the difference.

  In a state of great shock, Lu Zhong put down the flag and drum, wanting to ask Wei Xiangxiu, but she was already in a daze, unconscious.

  Lu Zhong is now thinking about what's going on and what he should do. He thought that this was his first time in his life wanting to end his virginity, but ended up pulling out halfway, and could only bitterly smile.

  After being completely sober, he thought about how he had suddenly become a 20-year-old punk in his previous life the night before. Lu Zhong shook his head helplessly, originally, when he was over 20 years old in his previous life, he was such a beast.

  It's really not blaming the past, but my own grandparents didn't get along with each other.

  But now is not the time for self-criticism, so how should we wrap up the current situation?
