Like?
Was it liking, or was it just for fun?
Was it deep-rooted love, or obsession with the twisted pleasure of intrusion and seizure?
"Are you admitting that everything you did was intentional?"
Qi Sui's face was cold, her complexion frosty. This demeanor didn't cool Xiang Yu's heart; instead, it made it more fervent.
"Is it fun? Is it amusing? Watching me being toyed with by you, watching me like an idiot covering up shame in this marriage, do you find it interesting?"
Qi Sui stepped closer, grabbing Xiang Yu's collar. The thin black T-shirt clung to his flesh, warm and soft like a hand pillow beneath her palm.
"How can you be so despicable? You like intruding into other people's marriages so much, why do you have to torment me? What crime did Qi Sui commit?"
She vented her anger almost hysterically.
She didn't know.
She didn't understand.
"I helped you apply medicine. Did you make him do it too? I sprayed you. Did you use the same tactics to seduce him? How can you be so low? Why do you always use such disgusting, lewd methods to seduce others? Do you enjoy this pleasure?"
"Xiang Yu, answer me. Are you this kind of person?"
"Are you the kind of person who can freely use your appearance and body, who can casually pay with your feelings?"
Rather than resentment
Or disgust, it was more like—
Even Qi Sui hadn't noticed that her words carried more anger and helplessness than hatred towards Xiang Yu.
She hated people who intrude into others' marriages.
But when it actually happened, she felt speechless and unable to accept it.
She wished this person wasn't LEO; she wished it were anyone else, anyone, not such a—in her eyes—
excellent man.
A man who could easily gain others' affection without using these means.
This fact even drained Qi Sui of the strength to hate him.
Xiang Yu's eyes went out of focus, staring blankly at her mouth.
The expression on his face had lost control to the point of being undisguisable. His handsome, aloof face had an extremely weak sense of conflict; even with a cold expression, he couldn't inspire fear.
But now he seemed on the verge of tears.
"I..."
"I'm not..."
He had never paid with his body for anyone, nor was he as promiscuous and despicable as she described.
He had just seen a girl, from college until now.
He had only decided to use this broken body to live on when he saw her lonely gaze watching the sunrise.
Whether that counted as liking, Xiang Yu didn't know.
But when he encountered this beautiful flower again, she had withered beyond recognition.
So darkness, rage, and greed surged into his heart.
He wasn't that kind of person.
...
Wasn't he?
Everything Qi Sui said seemed not to be slander.
He deliberately wore beautiful, exquisite clothes, deliberately increased his gym workouts, deliberately used legitimate work excuses to get close to her.
But Xiang Yu thought, she didn't seem to like that.
Dressed beautifully, she called him despicable, deliberately seducing;
Revealing his body, using the physique he once felt自卑 about to please her, she considered him available to anyone;
Using work as an excuse to approach, she thought he was deliberately mocking.
Looking at these sharp, angry almond-shaped eyes, how could he explain his wolfish ambitions?
"Xiang Yu, answer my question."
"You did it on purpose, right?"
Xiang Yu closed his eyes.
"Yes."
"You knew I was already married, right?"
"Yes."
