207: One person silently bears everything

"It's not keeping a rich woman company..."

Ye Su didn't feel he had done anything wrong, so naturally, he wasn't afraid to admit it boldly:

"Isn't that the rich woman from last time who asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend to help her deal with her family's pressure to get married? She asked me to go to her place to help out again today, just as a routine."

"Doesn't that still mean you went to keep a rich woman company!" Chen Xinyi was so angry that her nostrils flared wider than usual.

"Hey, get your facts straight!" Ye Su immediately corrected Chen Xinyi's wording:

"I went there to help her, that's not called keeping a rich woman company!"

"Helping?" Chen Xinyi put her hands on her hips. "Then tell me, what kind of 'helping' involves getting her perfume rubbed all over you!"

"How would I know."

Ye Su sniffed his hands vigorously, but he couldn't smell any [Encounter of Tenderness] on himself, and naturally, he didn't smell any milky scent either.

"Don't make excuses. I think you definitely have something going on with that rich woman!"

"You're just completely wronging me here!" Ye Su simply raised his hands above his head, letting Chen Xinyi vent her frustration on him:

"Others might not know my situation, but don't you have any idea yourself? If I really had something going on with that rich woman, would I have finished and come back this early?"

"Hmm..."

Chen Xinyi pondered for a moment and realized that it actually made sense:

"You really didn't have anything happen with that rich woman?"

"Duh." Ye Su rolled his eyes. "I walk upright and stand straight. If I really had anything with that rich woman, with our relationship, I'd definitely be the first to tell you."

"Hmm."

"Hmm!"

At the second "Hmm," Chen Xinyi finally realized that what Ye Su said wasn't a compliment at all:

"What do you mean 'with our relationship, you'd be the first to tell me'? So you actually thought about hooking up with that rich woman!"

Ye Su could allow Chen Xinyi to be on top of him, but definitely not in this situation.

With one movement, Ye Su reversed the roles, putting Chen Xinyi in a [Shift in Offensive and Defensive Positions].

"I did all of this for your sake. I didn't want you to be too exhausted every night, so I thought about finding someone to help share the burden. You don't have to be touched, but why are you blaming me?"

Ye Su's twisted logic almost made Chen Xinyi's head spin.

So going out to find another woman is actually for my own good?

Well, I really have to thank you for that!

But when she thought about the things they did at night, Chen Xinyi had to admit that Ye Su's words actually made some sense.

"Let me get up first," Chen Xinyi said calmly.

Seeing that Chen Xinyi's expression was normal, Ye Su relaxed his guard and got off her so she could sit up.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Chen Xinyi got up, her hand pinched the soft flesh on Ye Su's waist, making him wince in pain.

"Thinking about women outside and then pinning the blame on me, huh? Do you really think this girl is stupid!"

"Ouch, ouch!"

Ye Su had no time to keep bluffing and just kept shouting in pain, but since the opportunity was rare, Chen Xinyi naturally didn't let go so easily.

With no other options, Ye Su chose to give her a taste of her own medicine. He reached out and pinched her back, though the spot he pinched was a bit different from where Chen Xinyi was pinching him.

"Ah!"

Ye Su's maneuvers finally made Chen Xinyi let go with a scream.

Only then could Ye Su rub his bruised waist and retort with righteous indignation:

"What do you mean pinning the blame on you? Isn't what I said the truth? Do you know how a hot-blooded young man like me has been enduring it every night!"

As he spoke, Ye Su began his performance, looking utterly devastated:

"I was just afraid of tiring you out, so I bore it all alone, and yet you don't appreciate my good intentions."

Finally, Ye Su mimicked Lin Xue and pulled out a line in Cantonese: "Do you know, you've hurt my burning red heart!"

"Hmph!"

How could Chen Xinyi not know that Ye Su's change from "nightly revelry" to "one day on, two days off" was just to accommodate her.

Unable to refute, besides huffing, Chen Xinyi didn't know what else to say.

Who told her she really couldn't handle it!

She didn't know what was up with this man; how could his body be getting better day by day!

Could it be that he was still growing even at 21!

"Don't act like you're so amazing. I was just afraid you wouldn't know when to show restraint, so I let you have your way on purpose..."

She might lose the battle, but she wouldn't lose her pride.

Even though she knew it was her own issue, Chen Xinyi still couldn't break the habit of being stubborn.

But the facts were right in front of her.

Plus, she was actually worried. Ye Su was at a hot-blooded age, and he slept in the same bed every day with a super invincible, peerless beauty like her—big breasts, long legs, and beautiful. She was afraid he would really be stifled if she kept holding out.

That's why when Chen Xinyi spoke, her tone inevitably lacked a bit of conviction.

"Hmm?"

When Ye Su heard Chen Xinyi trying to shift the blame back onto him, his temper flared up:

"Still being stubborn, huh? Let's test it out right now and see whose problem it really is. While we're at it, I can restore my innocence and prove that I didn't do anything tonight!"

It's over!

Chen Xinyi felt all hope was lost. She realized she had dug another hole for herself and could only weakly try to make amends:

"You haven't showered yet. How about we wait and talk about it another day..."

"I'm going to shower right now!"

Ye Su sprang up like a spring, rushing into the room before Chen Xinyi could refuse, grabbing his change of clothes, and heading into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water from inside, Chen Xinyi knew another fierce battle was coming.

"Why did it end up like this~~~"

As if to set the mood, Ye Su's emotionally charged singing drifted from the bathroom.

"I refuse to believe that after practicing yoga for several days, it has absolutely no effect!"

Chen Xinyi gritted her teeth and stomped her foot: "Worst case scenario, I'll just fight him to the death!"

As if she had made up her mind, Chen Xinyi resolutely walked toward the room, her demeanor carrying a touch of the tragic heroism of [a warrior who goes and never returns].

Unfortunately, the outcome didn't bring Chen Xinyi any surprises.

After showering, Ye Su unleashed all the primal instincts that had been stirred up at Li Mengyao's place earlier that evening onto Chen Xinyi.

As for the yoga Chen Xinyi had been working so hard on for the past few days, it only ended up adding to the excitement.

...

Facts proved that after multiple [Physique] enhancements, Ye Su's physical fitness was ridiculously strong.

Afterward, Chen Xinyi lost all her strength and means of resistance.

Looking at the man who was watching her with a smug expression, Chen Xinyi was filled with grief and indignation.

Go find whoever you want, I'm not serving you anymore!

...

Ye Su had returned early that evening.

Although the aerobic exercise had taken a bit longer, it was only a little past ten o'clock.

Seeing Chen Xinyi's exhausted state, Ye Su stopped teasing her, let her rest first, and went to the guest bedroom to turn on the computer and play some games.

At 11:47 PM, when Ye Su shut down the computer and returned to the bedroom, Chen Xinyi was already asleep.

After using a [Sleep Aid Service] on her, Ye Su waited for the system's intelligence to refresh.

[Ding!]
