Men really do stop caring once they get what they want.
"No, I'm going back to school." Her mood soured further. She grabbed her phone from the bedside table, ready to leave.
She could no longer have anything to do with him.
He was quick to distance himself from her just because she looked a little unwell.
Even though she hadn't intended to get involved with him, his actions were truly irritating.
A cold-hearted scumbag…
Suddenly, the man stood up and pulled her into his arms, startling her.
"Do you mean you want to sleep with me?" his deep voice asked.
"No, let go," she replied, still annoyed. Despite his actions stirring her emotions, she feigned composure.
"Are you angry with me?" he asked again.
"You're overthinking it…"
"Yue Yue," he suddenly called her.
"Hmm?" she answered instinctively, not realizing the implication.
"I want to hold you while I sleep?"
Su Yue's heart was in complete disarray… She didn't know how to respond. She looked up at him, meeting his dark, deep eyes.
"Okay?" he moved closer, leaning in to whisper in her ear.
His breath tickled her ear, and Su Yue felt the anger in her heart dissipate completely, replaced by unending panic.
"You're not… in the second bedroom…"
He began kissing her neck, the familiar feeling returning. Her remaining will told her she couldn't give in.
She could barely finish her sentences.
"I was afraid it would bother you even more," he lifted his head, looking at her.
The bedside lamp was on, and the man's eyes held a surprising tenderness, a side she had never seen before.
She was momentarily stunned, speechless.
"Of course, I want to sleep with you," he spoke again.
This… A tiny voice in Su Yue's head had already raised the white flag.
Seeing that she was still too shocked to speak, Chen Ziming smiled slightly, lowered his head, and kissed her sweet lips.
The next morning, Su Yue still insisted on returning to school.
"Give me your phone," he said at the dining table, extending his hand towards her.
"What do you want it for…" she asked warily.
"Add me on WeChat."
Su Yue hesitated but then, under his gaze, obediently handed him her phone.
Chen Ziming added her on WeChat and saved his own number in it.
"I'll drive you back to school later."
Downstairs from the dormitory building.
Su Yue said goodbye to him. Just as she was about to get out of the car, Chen Ziming took something out and handed it to her.
"What is it?" she took it. It was a credit card with a small note attached to the back. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him.
"This card has a limit of 500,000. I've written the password on the back. Take it and go shopping, buy whatever you like. If it's not enough, call me."
"What do you mean, Officer Chen?" Su Yue felt her heart sink. She felt no joy from the money, and her tone became a little subdued.
Chen Ziming looked at her, somewhat bewildered, and said, "Just for you to spend, it doesn't mean anything."
Su Yue felt insulted, but she managed to maintain her composure. She forced a smile, returned the card to him, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Officer Chen, are you trying to keep me? Or do you think after sleeping together so many times, you need to compensate me? Is that how cheap I am in your eyes?" Her eyes welled up as she spoke. "I'm not that expensive. Anything that happened between us was voluntary on my part, I didn't want anything. I don't want this, and we shouldn't contact each other again."
Chen Ziming quickly understood what she was thinking and frowned. He grabbed her wrist. "Su Yue, I didn't mean it like that."
His police phone suddenly rang. He had to let go of her to get his phone. Su Yue didn't give him another chance to explain, opened the car door, and left.
Chen Ziming didn't chase after her. When Su Yue reached her dormitory, she looked down from the balcony. His car had already driven away.
"Yue Yue, are you okay?" Zhang Feiran and Zhang Lu had gone shopping, and Qin Xiaoxiao had a club activity that afternoon and didn't go with them. Seeing Su Yue enter with red eyes, she asked with concern.
She hadn't returned the night before, and they knew she had gone out with Wang Mengmeng, so they had just told her not to stay out too late. In the morning, she replied that she had returned to her own place, so they didn't inquire further.
But now, it didn't seem like she had returned to her own place.
