chapter 2

In the bathroom.

I received a message: Let’s break up. You’re like a block of wood, there’s nothing left to say to you.

Clearly, he was the one who betrayed me.

Alcohol was kicking in.

My eyes searched Xu Mo’s face, and I asked him, “What can you do?”

“You’re wrong, I…”

I’m wrong? Before he could finish, I interrupted, “Cut the crap. Please me. Don’t talk, just do!”

He hesitated, then silently nodded.

His gaze slowly slid from my eyes to my lips.

I was so nervous that my hands pressed against the wall, my body trembling slightly beyond my control.

My heart was pounding like a rabbit trapped inside, thumping wildly.

His hand wandered around my waist.

My heart tightened; I was actually a little nervous.

But my ex-boyfriend’s words kept echoing in my mind: “Like a block of wood, can’t let go.”

And the image of that jerk cheating.

The breakup text.

It was like a stone pressing on my heart, making it hard to breathe.

I looked at Xu Mo’s face, pushed him into the corner, and started unbuttoning his shirt one button at a time.

His shirt slipped off, revealing bruises all over his body.

Do you even get beaten up doing this kind of work?

I felt a bit indignant, and also a little sorry for him.

“No, it’s not what you think, actually I…”

“It’s fine, you don’t have to say anything, I get it.” I knew that in this line of work, you had to put on a smile.

Maybe it was other clients who hit him. If I went out and made a scene, it would hurt his reputation and business.

My chest pressed against his abs, my straight legs drawing even closer to him.

I quietly wrapped my arms around Xu Mo’s waist.

Imitating what I’d seen in movies, I kissed Xu Mo’s earlobe-it was so cool, his body so cold.

“Why are you so cold? Are you freezing?”

He didn’t say anything-was he too nervous?

I got bolder, holding him, reaching for his belt, blushing as I said, “It’s okay, you’ll warm up soon.”

At that moment, Xu Mo patted my hand: “Wait a minute, okay?”
