It was not that Zhou Yuwen lacked self-control, but rather that Zheng Yanyan was simply too charming today. Moreover, he and Zheng Yanyan had not seen each other for three weeks. As everyone knew, when you didn't see your ex-girlfriend for a while, the urge to sleep with her could be quite strong.
When Zheng Yanyan was pressing against Zhou Yuwen and swaying her body just a mont ago, Zhou Yuwen had already felt a spark. The way those white shorts wrapped around her curvy hips, and how she was bending at the waist to lean into him, causing her V-neck collar to naturally dip—it revealed a deep, fair cleavage that Zhou Yuwen had not seen in a long ti.
Who could resist that? The natural reaction was to scoop her up and kiss her, making out the entire way into an empty office.
Coincidentally, this office seed to be the exact sa one Zhou Yuwen and Lu Lin had slipped into a while back.
The lights were off, leaving the room pitch black. Outside the window, the dim yellow streetlights cast faint, wavering shadows, their glowing specks barely visible in the darkness.
In the dark, Zhou Yuwen lifted Zheng Yanyan onto a desk, the two of them still locked in a deep kiss.
anwhile, back in the auditorium, Su Qing took the stage and finally managed to get through her host lines, announcing the next performance.
The next act was a crosstalk routine from Zhou Yuwen's class.
It was a program selected by Chang Hao. Two boys from Jiang Chao's dormitory went up. Their crosstalk was a bit diocre, but it occasionally drew roaring laughter from the audience.
The first thing Su Qing did upon leaving the stage was search for Zhou Yuwen. Frowning in dissatisfaction, she asked Shen Yu, "Where is Zhou Yuwen?"
"I don't know," Shen Yu answered truthfully.
Su Qing shot back, "Couldn't you keep an eye on them?"
At this mont, inside the office, both Zhou Yuwen and Zheng Yanyan were completely swept up in passion. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and their bodies were clearly highly attuned to each other. The mont they made contact, they were practically inseparable.
Zheng Yanyan's upper body was completely defenseless against Zhou Yuwen. That ant during their kissing, Zhou Yuwen could do whatever he pleased, and Zheng Yanyan would cooperatively let out soft humming sounds.
Just as the mood peaked, Zhou Yuwen's hand gently slid past Zheng Yanyan's slender waist, intending to unfasten the button of her white shorts.
Suddenly, Zheng Yanyan stopped him.
"?" The button was actually already halfway undone, revealing a glimpse of semi-transparent pink lace underneath the white fabric.
Zhou Yuwen looked at Zheng Yanyan in confusion, only to see the moonlight streaming through the window and illuminating her face. It perfectly highlighted the flush on her cheeks, a natural rosiness that girls showed right after a heated make-out session—adorable, yet tinged with a hint of desire.
Her glossy lips were slightly parted.
With a simple look in her eyes, she stubbornly asked Zhou Yuwen, "What is our relationship right now?"
"..."
To say Zheng Yanyan was simple would be a lie; she was far from simple. She already knew exactly how to manipulate Zhou Yuwen.
Zhou Yuwen was still half-embracing her.
Zheng Yanyan looked at Zhou Yuwen with eager expectation.
Zhou Yuwen, however, looked away. Honestly, he did not know what to say.
"Didn't we just agree on this earlier? Baby," he said gently.
"Isn't this kind of relationship nice? You have your things to do, and I have mine. Isn't that great?" Zhou Yuwen kept his hand wrapped around Zheng Yanyan's slender waist.
That clearly was not the answer Zheng Yanyan wanted. Getting a little angry, she pressed, "So what exactly is our relationship right now?!"
"Just... friends?" Zhou Yuwen asked.
Zheng Yanyan pouted. "If we are just friends, then I am not letting you continue!"
"Then we won't continue," Zhou Yuwen replied with a chuckle.
He had not actually planned to go all the way right now anyway. His performance was coming up in about forty minutes. If they started, he might not even be able to finish in ti. Stopping right at the edge was for the best.
"You!"
His nonchalant response instantly upset Zheng Yanyan. He would rather stop altogether than admit to their relationship!?
Zheng Yanyan gritted her teeth, feeling a mix of frustration and helplessness.
"Can't you just coax
a little? I belong to you anyway!" Out of options, Zheng Yanyan grabbed Zhou Yuwen's hand and whined playfully.
Zhou Yuwen told her that was impossible, baby.
"We are in a cool-down period right now. It is a matter of principle."
"Think about it. If I am treating you like this, then I definitely wouldn't be giving Su Qing any good looks either, right?"
Hearing Zhou Yuwen fra it like that, the furrow in Zheng Yanyan's brow smoothed out considerably. That actually... seed to make so sense.
Since Zheng Yanyan was unwilling to continue making out, Zhou Yuwen checked the ti and noticed Jiang Xinyi had already ssaged him.
"I've arrived. Where are you?"
Zhou Yuwen replied, "Wait for , I'll co get you."
Just as Zhou Yuwen sent the text, Zheng Yanyan threw her arms around him and started kissing him again. This ti, it was obvious she had given up on demanding answers. As she passionately kissed his lips, she actively unbuttoned her small uniform top.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yuwen had official business to handle now. He gently pushed her away and said, "Alright, enough playing around. I have a performance to do soon."
"Are you going to sing that song you wrote for Su Qing?" Zheng Yanyan asked, feeling a bit jealous as she kissed his cheek.
Zhou Yuwen gave a soft hum of confirmation.
"Can you not go?" Zheng Yanyan's voice was soft and sweet, carrying a pleading tone. As she spoke, her lips gently nibbled at his cheek, planting two loud smooches on his skin.
Zhou Yuwen held her slender waist and told her that was impossible. He had promised soone; he could not just go back on his word.
"Besides, Su Qing really has helped
quite a lot."
"I can help you too!" Zheng Yanyan huffed indignantly.
Zhou Yuwen chuckled lightly. "Help ? I'll be thanking the heavens if you just refrain from adding to the trouble."
"Hmph, you jerk, I hate you!" Zheng Yanyan puffed her cheeks in annoyance.
Zhou Yuwen gently rubbed her smooth back and coaxed, "Alright, alright, stop throwing a tantrum. I need to go get ready. Let's leave it at this for now."
"I'm not letting you go!" Zheng Yanyan pouted, grabbing hold of Zhou Yuwen to stop him from leaving.
She stared at him and asked, "Don't you want ?"
Zhou Yuwen replied that of course he wanted her, but he could not just stand people up.
"Family matters can definitely wait; we need to sort out outsiders' affairs first. Be good, listen to ," Zhou Yuwen coaxed.
Zheng Yanyan giggled, asking, "So she is the outsider, and I am family?"
"Yeah."
Zhou Yuwen wanted to leave, but Zheng Yanyan held onto his hand tightly. She demanded that he promise her one thing before she would let him go.
Zhou Yuwen asked what it was.
Zheng Yanyan declared, "You can sing for her, but tonight you have to co ho with !"
"You haven't co ho in two weeks!" she added pitifully.
Watching her shyly twist her body, Zhou Yuwen agreed. "Going ho isn't a problem, but I have one request."
"What request?"
"Don't take off these clothes. I quite like them," Zhou Yuwen said, giving her curvy hips a light smack.
Hearing this, Zheng Yanyan instantly bead with joy. Knowing that Zhou Yuwen still cared for her, she stopped blocking his way and told him to hurry back.
"Mwah!"
She planted another loud kiss on his cheek.
At that mont, Jiang Xinyi had finally arrived at the entrance of the auditorium. She had claid to be busy with work, but in reality, she had carved out half an hour just to apply her makeup.
Jiang Xinyi usually didn't like wearing makeup, but that didn't an she didn't know how. For an event like a performance, a touch of light makeup was essential. She was wearing a white off-the-shoulder dress underneath, completely bundled up in a thick black down jacket on the outside.
So to the average passerby, her stunning outfit was hidden. She held her phone, texting Zhou Yuwen to ask for his location
while waiting patiently near the back of the auditorium.
Even swathed in a bulky down jacket, Jiang Xinyi, now wearing makeup, was truly eye-catching. Standing quietly at the back, her serene and elegant temperant quickly drew the attention of many people around her.
A student from Zhou Yuwen's class soon recognized her and imdiately alerted You Changjin, who was seated near the front. "Teacher, look, isn't that the teacher's wife?"
"Is she here looking for you?"
Seeing Jiang Xinyi again sent You Changjin's emotions spiraling out of control. He knew she wasn't there for him, and though he hesitated for a long ti, he couldn't hold himself back in the end. He stood up and went over to greet her.
At that mont, Jiang Xinyi was looking down, chatting with Zhou Yuwen via text, asking him when he would be arriving.
anwhile, Zhou Yuwen was texting back, asking where she was.
The lights in the auditorium were dim, casting the soft glow of her phone screen across her delicate face.
"Xinyi..." Stepping in front of her, You Changjin mustered his courage and called out softly.
"?" Jiang Xinyi looked up. Seeing You Changjin, she showed only a brief flicker of surprise. "Oh, you are here too?"
"Yeah, I brought my students to watch the show." Seeing that Jiang Xinyi could speak to him so calmly, You Changjin felt a faint sense of comfort and offered a small smile.
He asked, "Are you looking for your mother? I can take you to her."
"No, I am not looking for her. By the way, is Zhou Yuwen with you?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"You are looking for Zhou Yuwen?" You Changjin furrowed his brow slightly.
Right at that mont, Zhou Yuwen walked over.
Jiang Xinyi spotted him and waved.
Zhou Yuwen was slightly taken aback when he saw Jiang Xinyi wearing makeup. The difference between a girl with and without makeup was indeed night and day. He walked up and imdiately blurted out, "Did you draw your eyebrows?"
For so inexplicable reason, Jiang Xinyi felt a surge of joy in her heart. She rolled her eyes at him playfully. "You even noticed that? Are you paying that much attention to , kid?"
"Sister Xinyi, it is so obvious. How could I not notice? Though, it looks pretty good," Zhou Yuwen praised.
"Hmph!" Jiang Xinyi pouted slightly and challenged him, "Then tell , what else has changed?"
"No, that is not the point here. Didn't you say you were staying behind to work overti...?" Zhou Yuwen pointed out the glaring inconsistency.
"..." Jiang Xinyi was rendered completely speechless.
Hearing this, You Changjin coughed awkwardly. "Yuwen... aren't you exploiting... Sister Xinyi a bit too much?"
"Oh, Teacher You." You Changjin had his back turned to him, so Zhou Yuwen had not even noticed he was there when he approached.
He only greeted the man now that he realized who it was.
You Changjin shook his head and asked, "Has Xinyi been looking for you this whole ti?"
What You Changjin really ant to ask was: Why is Jiang Xinyi looking for you?
Zhou Yuwen naturally explained it to him, saying that he was going to sing on stage and since Jiang Xinyi knew how to play the piano, she was going to accompany him.
Jiang Xinyi nodded, expressing with a bitter face that this was the first ti she had ever t a boss like him.
She had only taken a little ti to put on so makeup to help him out, and he had the nerve to accuse her of delaying her work.
"You Changjin, you need to properly discipline your students!" Jiang Xinyi had a generous and straightforward personality. As long as You Changjin didn't bring up the past, she had no problem keeping things relatively decent when they t.
However, truth be told, a girl like her, who struggled to maintain proper boundaries, could easily give n the wrong idea.
This was especially true for a guy like You Changjin, who had dated Jiang Xinyi in the past and still secretly believed he had a chance with her.
For guys like him, the mont a girl showed even a sliver of kindness, his imagination would run wild.
Sure enough, when Jiang Xinyi joked like that, You Changjin took it seriously, turning to ask Zhou Yuwen if it was true.
Zhou Yuwen felt a bit awkward. "There is no need for that, Teacher."
"Sister Xinyi isn't your girlfriend anymore, and you are still siding with her?"
"Even if she isn't my girlfriend, she is still my friend! Couldn't you just take care of my friend?"
Hearing You Changjin say this brought a sense of relief to Jiang Xinyi. It proved he had genuinely let go of the past, so she smiled and nodded in agreent.
Seeing Jiang Xinyi smile naturally made You Changjin happy in return.
Zhou Yuwen had zero ti to watch this dysfunctional ex-couple force their awkward small talk. Maybe the two parties involved didn't think much of it—Jiang Xinyi probably didn't even realize there was anything wrong with her behavior.
But from the perspective of an outsider like Zhou Yuwen, Jiang Xinyi's actions looked suspiciously like she was teasing a lovesick puppy.
So Zhou Yuwen glanced at his watch and interrupted, "Alright, Teacher You, we won't chat any longer. We need to get to the backstage to prep."
"Oh, alright, you two go ahead. Don't worry about ," You Changjin quickly said, knowing that business ca first.
And so, Jiang Xinyi followed Zhou Yuwen away.
Everyone in the Landscape Architecture Class 2 knew that their counselor, You Changjin, had once had a gorgeous girlfriend, and that they had broken up later on.
As for the reason they broke up, it was naturally You Changjin himself who had told them.
A while back, hadn't Tao Tian gone missing just because she got dumped by Zhou Yuwen? It had given the teachers in the office quite a scare. Following that incident, You Changjin had held a special class eting, lecturing them about how breakups were a normal part of dating and that they shouldn't take them too hard.
During that lecture, You Changjin specifically used himself as an example.
At first, he was just providing a reference point.
But as he kept talking, You Changjin grew more and more depressed. He ended up pouring his heart out to his students about life in general, saying that breaking up really wasn't a big deal—who hadn't been dumped before?
Take him, their teacher, for example—hadn't he been dumped, too?
"But as your teacher, I believe that if you truly love soone, you should wish them happiness, rather than obsessively clinging to them!"
You Changjin had taught by personal example, earning a round of applause from the students.
Still, his students deeply sympathized with his experience. Seeing his ex-girlfriend—their forr teacher's wife—co over to look for him now, the students mistakenly thought the two of them might be getting back together.
They never expected that she would have a connection with Zhou Yuwen as well.
"Why does it feel like every pretty girl is connected to Zhou Yuwen?" Li Qiang couldn't help muttering.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The teacher's wife is way older than Zhou Yuwen," Jiang Chao retorted.
"Heh!"
Li Qiang just grinned, saying nothing more.
Only Chang Hao watched Jiang Xinyi walk away with Zhou Yuwen, a thoughtful expression on his face.
At this ti, You Changjin, who was in high spirits after his brief, normal conversation with Jiang Xinyi, walked back over to them.
Seeing the counselor practically glowing with joy, the girls in the class started teasing him. "Teacher You, what's got you in such a good mood? Are you and the teacher's wife back together?"
"Stop calling her that. We've already broken up. Don't call her 'teacher's wife' anymore." You Changjin was actually very careful about this, knowing full well that Jiang Xinyi disliked the title.
However, seeing his students' disappointed faces, he couldn't help adding, "Though, you might get to call her that again in the future."
"Oh?" The students imdiately rejoiced upon hearing this!
He had only exchanged a few words with her just now, but a guy like You Changjin was always prone to romantic fantasies.
Based on his reaction, his students genuinely thought he had a shot, and were naturally happy for him.
Only Chang Hao kept his eyes locked on Jiang Xinyi as she walked toward the backstage with Zhou Yuwen. Looking at the brilliant smile on her face, he couldn't shake the feeling that he had seen that exact smile sowhere before.
He took the opportunity to ask as You Changjin walked up, "Teacher You, are you sure your ex-girlfriend still has feelings for you?"
"?" You Changjin didn't understand what Chang Hao was getting at.
Chang Hao pressed, "Is she still working for Zhou Yuwen?"
"Yes, why?" You Changjin was actually quite proud of that fact. After all, Jiang Xinyi had only gotten the job through his connections.
Chang Hao pondered for a mont before suggesting, "Could you persuade your ex-girlfriend to stop working at Zhou Yuwen's company?"
Looking at Chang Hao's deadly serious expression, You Changjin couldn't help but laugh. He patted Chang Hao on the shoulder and chuckled, "Chang Hao, I know you and Yuwen might have so conflicts, but I believe that as a man, you need to be magnanimous. There are plenty of fish in the sea. Letting a woman ruin your brotherhood isn't worth it. Furthermore, Zheng Yanyan was already Zhou Yuwen's girlfriend to begin with. The person she likes is Zhou Yuwen, so you really should just give up."
"How does that one song go again? Doesn't it say, 'There is a kind of love called letting go'?"
Chang Hao stared at the amicable teacher in front of him and, ultimately, chose to remain silent.
