Cheng Suran smirked and shed tears at the same time, her two dimples sank bitterly.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, wiping away a little, but more came up, inexhaustible. Her pupils washed by water were like black pearls in tears, moist and bright under the light.
"The agreement is for three months, and there is still one and a half months left to fulfill. Sister gave me 300,000 yuan. I should return half of it. Wait a minute, I..." She seemed to be talking to herself. After finishing speaking, she bowed her head and took her phone from the bag.
Jiang Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, and she said two words coldly: "No need."
Cheng Suran seemed to have heard nothing, her fingertips tapping rapidly on the phone.
The cold light from the screen illuminated her red eyes, her nose was also red, her lips were slightly parted, her body trembled every time she took a deep breath, and tears flowed into her mouth like this.
Seeing her smile that was uglier than crying, Jiang Yu felt a prick in her heart, as if she had been stabbed by something.
Anxiety gradually developed...
-Boom!
Jiang Yu slammed the door.
And locked it.
She lowered her head against the door, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.
When she learned of Cheng Suran's "betrayal", she was puzzled at first, not understanding what the kid wanted to know from Qi Yan, and then she got a little panicked, worried that Qi Yan would reveal the past between them and add fuel to words against her. Based on this, she felt the anger of being betrayed.
At that moment, she thought of terminating the contract again, but quickly dismissed it. She didn't want to end this money relationship, nor did she want to be reckless.
She asked Cheng Suran what was going on, and after getting the answer, she was relieved to find that "betrayal" was not the "betrayal" she had imagined, which cleared up some kind of misunderstanding, which meant that she could continue to keep the kid by her side.
But then she realized...
She actually cared about her image in front of the kid.
She became out of control.
Jiang Yu hates this kind of feeling, she can't lose control, she doesn't allow herself to lose the initiative, when Tian Lin told her that she found a spare tire, she eagerly wanted to prove it through another girl, in front of Cheng Suran——
She will always be the benefactor.
She can have whoever she wants.
She will always be the benefactor.
Only when she opened the cage with her own hands, was the bird allowed to fly away...
The surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of her own breathing could be heard.
Jiang Yu raised her head, opened her eyes, and gently rubbed the center of her brows with her fingertips. At this moment, the screen of the mobile phone on the bed lit up. She stepped forward, picked it up and looked at it.
The kid transferred 50,000 yuan via WeChat.
[Sorry, sister, the limit only allows 50,000 to be transferred and the rest will be transferred to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I will go back to the school dormitory tomorrow, and I will clean up the room before leaving.]
[Thank you.]
No emoticons this time.
Jiang Yu stared at the few lines of words, and frowned, as if being provoked, she felt a wave of anger burning in her body. She put the phone aside and got up to open the door.
The living room was empty.
The door of the second bedroom was closed, and there was the sound of water in the bathroom.
She walked towards the second bedroom with a cold face, pushed the door open without any greeting, a ray of light came out, she raised her eyes, and all she could see was Cheng Suran's panicked little face.
The girl was about to take a bath, with only her panties left on her body, when she saw her barging in, she subconsciously covered herself with her hands.
"Sister, you..."
Jiang Yu stepped forward with a sneer, stretched out her hand to wrap her around her waist, turned around, pressed her firmly against the head of the bed, pinched her chin with her fingertips, "Little friend, do you understand what I'm saying?"
"What... what..." Cheng Suran was frightened by her cold eyes, and was too stiff to move.
"Did I let you go?"
"..."
"So eager to run?"
"I…"
"It seems that I'm really good to you, making your bones so crisp that you'll be angry with me every day, huh? Feeling like your wings have grown hard, don't you?" Jiang Yu's voice was low and cold, and her fingertips pinched hard.
There was a dull pain in the chin, Cheng Suran frowned and sobbed, struggling to shake her head, "No, I didn't eh—"
A warm breath blocked her lips, grinding slowly, as if comforting, she stopped struggling, and couldn't help but raise her head to meet her, but the next second, she was bitten hard.
Cheng Suran burst into tears from the pain, and put one hand on Jiang Yu's shoulder, trying to push her away.
It's a pity that she is too weak.
Jiang Yu grabbed her hands and clasped it behind her back, knocked her down, bit her hard again, straightened up, knelt on both sides of her hip bones with her legs bent, and looked down at her condescendingly.
"I was wrong, sister, I know I was wrong..." The girl's eyes were full of tears, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Jiang Yu narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the pleasure of dominance, looking down, inadvertently glanced at the half-curved peach tip, stretched out her hand to rub it, and pinched it again.
"Mm--"
Cheng Suran tensed up.
"Do you still dare to be angry?" Jiang Yu leaned over and pressed against her ear.
Cheng Suran gasped, moaning in her throat, "I don't..."
"How many more issues of the album are there?"
"Two issues."
"After the filming, you are not allowed to have any contact with Qi Yan!"
"Okay…"
Cheng Suran raised her head, couldn't help trembling, her black eyes full of tears were pitiful.
Jiang Yu avoided her gaze, stopped her hands, let go of her, and left the room without saying a word.
After taking a shower, Xiao Tao came out of the bathroom, wearing a pink nightgown that was exactly the same as Cheng Suran's. The silk fabric was smooth, and it shone brightly under the light.
Maybe it's because of her tall stature, she doesn't look like a girl, but looks rustic because of her big frame and broad shoulders.
It didn't suit her.
"Ms. Jiang—" Xiao Tao smiled at her, stroked her hair, "I've finished washing."
Jiang Yu looked at her, as if she was looking at a low-end version of the kid, with a different appearance and no stunning feeling at all. She suddenly lost interest.
"Ms. Jiang?"
"Go."
Xiao Tao was stunned.
Jiang Yu walked to the sofa, took out a wallet from her bag, took a few bills and handed them over, and said in a flat tone, "I don't like ugly girls in pink."
"..."
Xiao Tao's face turned blue and white with embarrassment, but she didn't know how to refute, a little unwilling, she said,
"Then I can change the color..."
"Do you want me to drag you out?" Jiang Yu lazily raised her eyes.
Xiao Tao shut her mouth, took the money as if resigned to her fate, carried the clothes she had just changed, went back to the bathroom, put them on again, and left in despair.
The room fell silent.
Jiang Yu stood there in a daze, the gorgeous crystal lamp cast light to cover her, coating her lonely figure with a layer of warm color. For a moment, she poured a small glass of water for herself, and walked to the window.
The sky was dark, the moon was covered by overcast clouds, and the lights of the city outside the window were hazy in the rain and fog, like a bright ocean stretching into the distance.
She stared outside quietly, drinking water in small sips, her eyes dark.
She hasn't been able to sleep well these few days on a business trip. She missed the kid, her bright and clean eyes, her warm and sweet smile, her soft voice calling her sister, and even more the appearance of her being bullied so powerless on the bed. Whenever the dark corridor appears in her mind, the girl is like the ray of light at the end, leading her out of the nightmare.
She desperately longed to hold her to sleep.
Although there is a shadow in her heart, she has been sleeping alone for more than ten years, and multiple people on her bed will make her feel very insecure.
When she was with her ex, they slept in the same bed. She always waited for the other to fall asleep, then leave quietly, go to another room to rest, and then quietly return to the other in the morning. As for those little lovers, they were only in bed for temporary pleasure, and they left alone without nostalgia after it was over.
It was the same with her and the kid at first.
But she doesn't know when everything changed.
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she slept with the kid in her arms without any discomfort. Later, it was the night she was kicked out of bed.
It turns out that it is so warm and comfortable to sleep with people under the same quilt all night.
She seemed to be on an island isolated from the world, looking at the excitement of others across the boundless ocean, but she always refused to go out and did not allow anyone to come in. Finally one day, she saw Cheng Suran, she couldn't bear the loneliness and desertion, and she felt a desire to get closer.
But why? Why Cheng Suran...
After drinking half a glass of water slowly, the anxiety in her heart disappeared a lot, and she calmed down.
Jiang Yu put down her cup, turned around, glanced at the master bedroom, then at the second bedroom, thinking, the light in her eyes dimmed.
After a while, she walked to the master bedroom.
….
Troubled by nightmares for several days, Jiang Yu developed a slight fear of sleeping. She turned the bedside lamp a little brighter, and at the same time opened the curtains to let the lights from the tall buildings outside shine in.
The whole bedroom is filled with a soft haze.
She lay down, closed her eyes, emptied her mind, and her breathing gradually became even and steady.
She couldn't remember the last thought before she fell into a deep sleep. When she was conscious, there was already another world in front of her, dark, oppressive, and full of despair. The same scene, the same person, was like a huge hand tearing her apart.
On and off, half asleep and half awake.
Sweat was dripping from her forehead, and her heart was beating violently in her chest. Jiang Yu suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and gasped in the soft dim light of the room.
The time is half past twelve.
No…
It still doesn't work.
She paused for a while, grabbed her phone, staggered out of the room, walked through the living room, and pushed open the door of the second bedroom impatiently.
It was dark inside.
A large piece of light poured in, and Jiang Yu vaguely saw the person on the bed move. She put down her phone and got into the warm bed without caring much.
The moment she hugged the kid, she felt her body tremble.
"Did I wake you up?" Jiang Yu asked softly.
Cheng Suran was lying on her side with her eyes closed. She wanted to pretend to be asleep, but when she was hugged by someone behind her, she couldn't control her trembling due to the fear in her heart.
She can't pretend anymore.
"No..." she said quietly, "I haven't fallen asleep yet."
Jiang Yu remained silent.
In the darkness, the quiet air seemed to freeze, and each other's breathing could be clearly heard.
Cheng Suran couldn't help becoming nervous, and also a little confused. Didn't sister have another lover... Oh, maybe they're already done. From nine o'clock to now, it's been a long time. Sister must like and be very satisfied with that girl. How many finger cots were used? Did they use the little toys?
Thinking of this, her heart suddenly twitched, and she smiled wryly in the dark.
She wanted to break the hands clasping around her waist.
But she can't.
She can't be angry.
"I let her go." Jiang Yu's deep voice came from behind.
Cheng Suran was startled.
Before she could ask why, the person behind said again: "She is not as good-looking as you."
"..."
The sweet scent of milk lingered at the tip of her nose. Jiang Yu closed her eyes and took a deep breath.The scorching breath fell on the back of the girl's neck, and her voice lowered a little: "Do you hate sister?"
"I don't..." Cheng Suran murmured, the corners of her lips raised slightly.
Hearing Jiang Yu saying she let that girl go, a gorgeous firework exploded in her mind instantly, and dense itches climbed up her tailbone, scratching her heart.
She is actually a little happy.
She is so cheap.
A tear slipped from the corner of her eye and wet the pillow, she couldn't help it, tears welled up more and more, her body twitched.
There was a suppressed whimper in her throat.
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, pulled the girl over with the other hand, gently pressed her lips against her eyelids, and kissed away those tears, "Don't cry..."
"Hmm." Cheng Suran nodded, and put her arms around Jiang Yu's neck unconsciously.
The tears flowed more fiercely.
She had clearly vowed to control herself, but she still surrendered because of her sister's few words. She really had no way to resist. From the moment she knew she was tempted, she was destined to be unable to escape...
Tasting the salty taste on the tip of her tongue, Jiang Yu raised her head, stretched out her hand to brush away the scattered hair on the girl's forehead, then lowered her head, and kissed her ear.
"If you want to know anything in the future, you can ask me directly."
"Okay."
