CH 51

While we were communicating without a care, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, startling me.

Cheng Yichen’s voice asked, “I want to make glutinous rice balls. What fillings do you want to eat?”

When I opened the door and came out, I saw that the game in the living room was turned off. Lu Feng was clearing out the table, Zhuo Wenyang went into the kitchen to assist, and Ke Luo sat on the sofa and looked at me with a slight smile.

“…..”

Ke Luo greeted me while smiling, “Come and play games, Xiao Jing.”

“…..”

I obediently sat down, took the console, and played tennis with him.

In a normal situation, Ke Luo’s gaming level was not as good as mine. He usually hugged me and held onto my thighs.

But maybe because he was better at sports than me, his usual normal behavior turned into a mad dog when he played this barely competitive game. He knocked me out by smashing balls repeatedly at me, enough that I couldn’t even find my way out.

Lee and Lu Feng went to the balcony to smoke and discuss some things. Ke Luo suddenly asked me, “What were you talking about just now when the door was closed?”

I was instantly alert, “Nothing, just reminiscing about old times.”

“Really,” Ke Luo stared at the screen intensely, “What about the old times?”

“…..” I said in fear, “Enough about old times. The main thing is to talk about the beautiful present and look forward to a bright future!”

Ke Luo pressed on, “Then when you talked about the present and future, was I included?”

“You are, you are…”

“What did he say about me?”

“Well, he said you are good.”

Ke Luo raised his eyebrows, “In what sense am I good?”

Could you not break the console and ask like this!?

I hesitated for a while before telling the truth, “…your physical (symmetry) self is in good shape.”

Ke Luo stopped talking.

“That’s a good thing,” I hastily added, “Sex is very important! When two people fall in love, the best part is when two souls are compatible and their bodies are also compatible. You see, at least you achieved half of it!”

“…..”

Ke Luo was still staring at the screen without any joy or anger on his face. He squeezed the console.

I was stuck in a dilemma. I definitely didn’t want to say bad things about Lee, but I couldn’t fool my brother to fall into a pit in favor of Lee either.

Therefore, I regained my conscience and genuinely said, “But don’t rely too much on this. After all, too much is too much. Relying on this alone, after a while, you’ll get tired of it. Using only sex to deal with people, the excitement and infatuation will eventually fade. I’m an experienced person in this area…”

I felt that my sensibility had improved recently!

Then, Ke Luo spiked the ball at me, sending my character along with the racket out of the court.

“……”

When Lee returned to the living room, I couldn’t help but cry out to him, “You control Ke Luo; he’s too cruel! How can anyone game like this?”

Brotherhood was nothing more than a piece of paper in front of his immense jealousy! Not only did Ke Luo not bother restraining himself, he became more vicious. He slapped the console and warmly invited me, “What are you afraid of? Let’s play another round.”

Finally, when Lee was about to go home, Ke Luo offered to send him back. He acted like a thoughtful puppy, licking his owner. While I was secretly resentful towards him and very envious, I was also glad that I was free!

I assumed that he wouldn’t return with this little trip tonight. It was great to live a life full of love.

On the other hand, compared to Ke Luo’s sea of jealousy, Zhuo Wenyang had always been rather apathetic. He was neither surprised or upset, and did not comment on the fact that I had a former relationship with Lee.

I tried to talk to him, “Speaking of which, did you know I knew Lee?”

“Mm.”

“No wonder you’re not surprised at all, haha.”

He looked at me and smiled, elaborating, “Lin Jing, we were sharing the same table for three years in high school.”

“That’s right,” I said, scratching my head.

No one in Nangao knew about my bad activities, and not to mention that he was still my close friend at the time.

“Actually, it was nothing special.” I wanted to clarify that my relationship with such a large age gap did not have any special associations attached to it. “You know, during that time of second year, I wasn’t resistant to mature and successful people.”

He nodded understandingly.

I suddenly felt that there wasn’t any room to hide or further explain. He was very clear about the dark history of my rebellious period. Because of my amnesia, he knew my past better than me and knew of my present better than most people.

If he thought I was not good enough, then I must not be good enough.

I groaned and shut my mouth.

I tossed and turned during the middle of the night because I couldn’t sleep. Amongst the silence, I vaguely heard a sound of the door opening from the outside.

My ears immediately perked up to catch the sound of movements carefully. The rustling noise wasn’t loud and there was no deliberate tiptoeing. Therefore, it couldn’t be a thief so it must be Ke Luo who came back.

I quietly opened the bedroom door and peeked through the gap. The figure sitting in the living room was Ke Luo.

I found it strange. Didn’t he go to Lee’s house? Did he not spend the night there?

Was it possible that he was driven back after being used? Wasn’t that too miserable?

And he came back so early too. Was Ke Luo so fast?

Was he driven back because he was so fast at it?

As I was thinking wildly, Ke Luo did not turn on the lights and remained in the darkness for a while.

Then, he suddenly said, “If you haven’t slept, come and chat with me for a bit.”

I hid behind the door, “…..”

I had no choice but to come out and ask, “Why are you not turning on the lights, brother? Environmentally conscious?”

“Don’t turn it on,” he said, “We can chat in the dark.”

I fumbled around and sat next to him, “Have you had a fight?”

Ke Luo replied, “As I was sending him back on the way, he asked me to take him directly to Narcissism.”

“…..” That was a bit too much.

“I told him that he can go with me if necessary.”

“……” How humbling.

“But he rejected it.”

“…..” This was more than just a little tragic.

“When he was about to get out of the car, I grabbed and kissed him forcefully. He resisted at first, but soon, he cooperated and even took some initiative.”

No, was this something I could listen to for free?

Just when I thought there was going to be a key scene, Ke Luo stopped. After a moment of silence, he said, “You’re right, he really just likes my body. I can feel it. For him, it’s enough if there’s sexual tension. Another thing you’re right about is that a relationship only based on sex will not last long.”

Ah well, I didn’t think I summed it up that well.

“I also felt that I shouldn’t always use sex to solve problems. So, I stopped and apologized to him for my recklessness.”

“That’s good ah,” I said in relief, “The first step has to be taken. And then?”

“Then, he told me to get out.”

“…..”

Ke Luo spreaded his hands, “Look, without sex, I’m not even qualified to talk to him.”

“…..”

“Sometimes, I think about why is this happening? Is it his problem or mine?”

“…..”

Ke Luo looked up at the ceiling and exhaled, “Maybe it’s my problem after all. I’m not good enough.”

Almost instantly, I did not feel so envious of him anymore.

Ah, love was such a tormenting thing.

If one did not fall in love, nothing would happen.
