Ziyuan stopped avoiding it, but my mood became even heavier. I sat on the chair by the bed and smiled bitterly. âTo be honest, you donât look like the Ziyuan I know anymore. You are too mysterious. I donât even know where to start askingâŚâ
âHave I changedâŚâ Ziyuan lowered her head, smiled bitterly, and murmured, âYes, I have changed, and I donât even recognize myself anymore, and you⌠Xiao Nan, you are still you. You didnât change a bitâŚâ
The unconcealable sadness and self-deprecating tone of her made me feel confused. She raised her head and chuckled jokingly, âWhether itâs worrying about me or pretending to be your girlfriendâs cousinâs boyfriend, it proves that you are still that dumb good boy I knew at that time.â
The trace of gloom disappeared from her face in a flash, as if it was just my illusion. I shook my head and sighed helplessly, âHehe,a dumb good boyâŚâ
Ziyuan got off the bed slowly and put the red wine on the round table. She then suddenly leaned forward, squatted down, and pressed her hands on my right leg. The place she pressed was exactly where I was injured, but because the wound had almost healed and she didnât use much strength, I didnât feel pain.
But I still shuddered subconsciously. Ziyuanâs behavior was a bit too intimate. I was about to make a joke to avoid embarrassment, but then I saw a layer of inexplicable mist in her eyes, âPeople are easy to change, thatâs why those who donât change are so precious, Xiao Nan, I am different from you. If it were me, I definitely would not have the courage to take this shot for othersâŚâ
My tense nerves finally eased. At least I no longer needed to ask, Ziyuan had already given me a definite answer, âYou⌠As I expected, you know it already.â
Suddenly, my originally complex feelings became even more complex, and all the questions I had in my mind became meaningless. All it left was bitterness and helplessness.
If Ziyuan was not the Third Lady who had a close relationship with the Long family, how would she know that I had been shot in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort? Because of the suppression of public opinion, only a few people know about it. And those who knew about it were powerful people like Li Xinghui who had a strong background and a well-connected network.
âMhm, I knowâŚâ Ziyuan bit her lower lip tightly and stared at me blankly, there were some tears in her eyes. Only after a while did she finally recover. Then she suddenly stood up and turned around, as if she didnât want me to see the strange expression on her face. âIt will take a while for the food to be delivered. You can watch TV first, Iâm going to take a shower.â She said with her back to me.
âOhâŚâ I was a little dazed. Ziyuan had said too many things that I didnât understand. But her action made me feel at a loss even more.
âXiao Nan,â before entering the bathroom, she suddenly turned her head and smiled at me, âIn the past five years, I have become the Xue Ziyuan you are not familiar with. Maybe you donât like my change, but I want to let you know that there is one thing that hasnât changed, and that is you still owe me an answer, and Iâm still waiting for it even after those five years. If you donât have a reasonable explanation, my resentment for you wonât change⌠All women are selfish, although I also owe you an apology, I donât like to hear any apology from you.â
Her so-called answer made me ashamed as a man. Although we were young at that time, and we did not know what love was, as Chu Yuan said, I and Xiao Zi knew that we liked each otherâŚ
I knew that I owed her an apology, but I couldnât help but feel a strong aversion when I heard that she also owed me an apology⌠I didnât know why she would need to apologize to me, but I knew that menâs selfishness was even more unreasonable than that of women. Although Ziyuan never belonged to me, and I never once thought about possessing herâŚ
âAlsoâŚâ Ziyuan added gently, âI would rather know nothing about what happened in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. I even wished that it had never happened, because⌠I donât want to use this kind of method to reunite with youâŚâ
Ziyuanâs voice was not loud, but I was sure that I heard it clearly. However, she said something that I didnât understand againâŚ
I didnât know if I was really that harmless in Ziyuanâs eyes. When she came out of the bathroom, she only had a bathrobe wrapped around her body.
Outside the window, the raindrops began to fall again, and the rain got heavier and heavier. The air conditioner in the room was set to a bit high. After drinking a glass of red wine, I felt that my cheeks were hot. In addition, the snow-white legs exposed under the Ziyuanâs bathrobe always dangled in front of my eyes, which made my mouth dry. The expensive Lafite red wine seemed to have become tasteless in my mouth.
Pulling out the bottle from the ice bucket, she poured another half glass of wine for me. As a guy who would get drunk with just one glass of wine, I already started to feel dizzy. However, since Ziyuan got out of the bathroom, she seemed to have changed to another person. She turned up the volume on the TV and stopped talking. Although she pretended to watch TV while eating, I knew that her attention was not on the TV program at all, because she always peeked at me from time to time. Every time our eyes met she would raise her glass to cover it up.
After finishing half a bottle of the wine, I already couldnât stop myself from yawning. My eyelids were like a sponge soaked in water, they were getting heavier and heavier. However, my eyes became more and more energetic, I couldnât help but stare at Ziyuanâs slender legs, and from time to time, I would not be able to help myself but fall into a daze.
I finally couldnât hold back my questions anymore. If I didnât ask now, I probably wouldnât be able to remember what I should ask.
âSo you are the Third Lady that everyone talks about?â Probably because I was slightly drunk, I asked the question directly.
Ziyuanâs body trembled slightly. She turned off the TV and looked at me, her smile was like a mask that made her become so unfamiliar to me, âIf you think I am, then I am; but if you think I am not, then I am notâŚâ
I couldnât see through her smile, nor could I understand her answer. âAre you her or not?â
Ziyuanâs face was also very red, and she also seemed a little bit drunk, âWhat do you think?â
I didnât want to admit it, but I still gritted my teeth and said, âYes!â
âYou have this guess in your mind for a very long time, right? Thatâs why you pretended to be angry and gave Min Rou the bank card. You deliberately told her that the password is auntieâs birthday just to confirm if she is me.â Ziyuan Said with a smile. Her smiling red face at this time was like a fragrant lily moisturized by rain. It was such a beautiful scene; her dreamy eyes and sluggish movement made my heart tremble.
She stretched out her finger and tapped my forehead, not noticing that because of this action, her loose bathrobe failed to cover her body completely. Her previous petite and exquisite breasts had already grown up and became full and plump; her white lace underwear constantly stimulated the blood in my body, and her deep cleavage aroused the flame of fire in my lower abdomen.
Then I heard Ziyuan continue, âWhether itâs your mobile phone or your bank card, all your password is actually Yuan Yuanâs birthday, right? And the reason for that is because you forgot her birthday when she turned ten years old, and it made the little girl cry. But the password you set is the day before Yuan Yuanâs birthday, so you can remind yourself not to forget to buy her gifts, hehe. Apart from me, even uncle and auntie donât know this secret; so if Min Rou did not give me the bank card, even if she tried everyone elseâs birthdays in your family, she still wouldnât be able to get anything out. â
Of course she would know this, because this was her idea.
Ziyuan pulled the chair to my side, tilted her body, and actually put her head on my shoulders, âXiao Nan, you really havenât changed much. You still donât like to show other people that you are actually a smart guy, but secretly you have many ideas. But what if I really took all your money, then what?â
âThen it will prove that you are the Third LadyâŚâ As I looked down at her, I immediately saw her body under the bathrobe. Even if I turned my head away, her body temperature and the fragrance of shampoo from her hair made me unable to curb my physical urges. This woman, why was she so seductive?
I swallowed to moisturize my dry throat and chuckled, âIf the Third Lady is you, you will find it funny. But if the Third Lady is not you, she will be very annoyed. Then when I meet with Min Rou again, I will be able to tell whether the Third Lady is you or not.â
âWhat if Iâm not the Third Lady?â Ziyuan raised her pretty face, and the warm scent of wine exhaled from her mouth sprayed on my face, making my heart beat like never before.
âI⌠donât knowâŚâ Perhaps, in my subconscious mind, I had long believed that Ziyuan was the third lady.
Ziyuan giggled sweetly and then clinked her glass with me. After she drank the red wine in the glass, she snuggled into my arms and said softly, âXiao Nan, you are really very smart, but being smart doesnât mean that you will not make mistakes. Itâs like you are kind and gentle, but not everyone knows how to appreciate it. Sometimes, you obviously did the right thing, but it would still hurt some peopleâŚâ
I was dazed. Not knowing what she was talking about, I asked in confusion, âXiao Zi, are you drunk? Why canât I understand what you are saying?â
