Chapter 2

On the way home, I sent a message to Jiang Chen.

[Honey, I’m not feeling very well today, so I won’t be coming over. I’m so sorry, I’ll have to owe you that surprise for now.]

Jiang Chen replied almost immediately: [Are you okay? What’s wrong? Do you want me to come over and keep you company?]

[No need. I’m already in bed. You should get some rest early too.]

I just wanted to be alone to calm my emotions, so I hurried to turn him down.

[Alright. I’ll come check on you tomorrow morning then.]

[Okay.]

Setting my phone down, I let out a sigh of relief.

Once I got home, I couldn’t wait to get into the bathroom and run a bath. The warm water soaked into my skin, bringing me a moment of relief and peace.

However, those fragmented images in my mind kept surging back uncontrollably.

From beginning to end, Pei Ze hadn’t responded to me.

When I was holding him, pressing against him, and kissing him passionately…

He hadn’t crossed the line even an inch.

Even when I grabbed his hand and… did that…

His breathing had only grown slightly ragged and heavy.

Except.

Given the size difference between us, he definitely had more than enough strength to push me away.

But he didn’t move.

He just let me have my way with him.

Thinking of this, my heart rate accelerated involuntarily, and my whole body felt flushed.

Pei Ze’s reaction… wasn’t it also a bit unusual?

At that time, did he know it was me in the room?

I quickly put a stop to those thoughts, though.

I was the one who mistook him for someone else in the first place. It would be even more shameless if I tried to shift the blame onto him now.

He was willing to cover for me and help lead Jiang Chen away; I should be grateful to him.
