As she heard what Liu Longwei said, Chen Lihua could already imagine her mother convincing Liu Longwei about the marriage by telling him she was a virgin.
Chen Lihua felt embarrassed and looked away from Liu Longwei.
Liu Longwei noticed her sudden change, and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about, so don't be".
He paused and then continued, "How do your mother know so much about your sex life?".
Chen Lihua sat on the mat, and Liu Longwei followed suit.
Chen Lihua sighed and started explaining, "Since I was a teenager, my mom always told me to keep my body pure for my husband, that there was a kind of respect I would get from him because of it, although not all men cared about it and would still respect you as far as they loved you. She also said that even at that, I should not live like a prostitute by sleeping around like others, that it wouldn't get me any where, that instead I would be downgrading my worth".
Chen Lihua took a breath and continued, "I agreed with what she said because she made me feel that if I lost my virginity carelessly, I would regret it for the rest of my life. She told me it was my pride, so I learnt to value it. Although I've dated before, but I still kept my body intact. There was a time I was nearly raped. At that point, I felt that my life was over, and if I was really raped, I would commit suicide because I couldn't imagine leaving with that trauma. So, I cried and even begged him, I also promised him money and wouldn't report him if he let me go. Seeing my tears, he let me go and consoled me, saying that he loved me and wouldn't actually hurt me. He said he was sorry. After a week, we broke up because I couldn't get over it, but we are still friends now".
Listening to her, Liu Longwei felt bad for her and asked, "The person who tried to **** you was your boyfriend?".
Chen Lihua nodded in affirmation, "I told Lady Chen I had a boyfriend, she didn't say much and only advised me to be careful. After we broke up, I told her as well but didn't tell her the genuine reason for it, I just made up a lie saying we weren't compartible to be partners, and so we decided to stay as friends. I also told Lady Chen that I was still a virgin. Even when I came back from the US, she asked me about it and I told her that I was still a virgin, so that's it".
Liu Longwei stared at Chen Lihua for 5 seconds before advising her.
"Lihua I just want to tell you, that no matter what may happen in future, don't ever try to commit suicide because, there are people that love you and will always wrap their arms around you".
Chen Lihua nodded, "I know".
"Good". Liu Longwei said while nodding lightly before continuing.
"Another thing I want to say is that if you really love someone, even though he's not your husband, you will surely feel attracted to having sex with the person, unless you tell yourself, you don't and then abide by your principles".
"I understand ". Chen Lihua said before lying flat on the mat.
"Ok", Liu Longwei said before trying to get rid of the current atmosphere.
So, he suggested to do sit-ups since the push-ups didn't work out.
Chen Lihua groaned and rolled on the mat saying saying that she was tired.
Liu Longwei coaxed her by telling her that she had rested enough and it was the last exercise before they washed up.
