The big and rough hand burns her body and makes her annoyed and ashamed. She struggles to push him away, but she can’t. Meanwhile, Xiaohu and Xiaoma exchange their glances, choke back laughter, run out quickly and close the door.

“Tang Feng! Tang Feng! Stop! I will be angry!”

Zhu Ting feels panicky and doesn’t dare to wiggle her body again. She only hopes to sober him up with these words, because she has felt something spanning between them.

“Ah—what are you doing? Be gentle!” The pain on her shoulder makes her scream — he bites her shoulder hard.

“Gentle? How can I enjoy myself to the full if I’m gentle?” Tang Feng pinches her waist.

“Ah—it hurts! Tang Feng, you are a bastard!”

He stops suddenly, looks at her with a cheeky grin and asks quietly, “Does it hurt?”

Zhu Ting grits her teeth and nods. She doesn’t dare to move for fear that she will touch his sensitive nerve.

“If it hurts, shout loudly.”

Shout loudly? Zhu Ting doesn’t understand.

Tang Feng pinches her waist again.

Zhu Ting gasps and can’t help shouting again.

“Good, shout like this.”

Freak! Zhu Ting curses him in her heart.

She once told Zhu Ting that Tang Feng was not bad. She was really blind.

She glimpses a small sculpture on the bedside cupboard from the corner of her eye. Then she considers how she can hit Tang Feng with it.

At this time, a car horn is sounded at the yard. Tang Feng immediately loosens his hands and rushes to the bathroom.

Zhu Ting jumps out of the bed and adjusts her clothes. Hearing Tang Feng vomit terribly in the bathroom, she spits coldly and walks fast to the door.

“If you want to be raped by my boss, go out.” Tang Feng says and then vomits again.

Zhu Ting has put her hand on the door knob. Hearing that, she pulls back her hand as if she got an electric shock.

Recalling what’s going on in the yard just now, she understands suddenly why Tang Feng bit and pinched her – he wanted the people outside to misunderstand that they were doing that thing.

It seems that Tang Feng puts on a show to Xiaoma intentionally. Xiaoma works for Xiao Jinchong. Perhaps Xiao Jinchong doesn’t believe she is Tang Feng’s woman, so he sends Xiaoma to supervise. No wonder Tang Feng carried all her things here.

Tang Feng has stopped vomiting in the bathroom. Zhu Ting hears the sound of water flow. With doubt, she moves slowly to the bathroom door and sees Tang Feng standing under the shower with all clothes on and eyes closed. The cold water runs from top to bottom.

Is he sobering himself up in this way?

Zhu Ting picks his pajamas up to send it into the bathroom when she hears Tang Feng snap, “Go out!”

Does he think she wants to enter? Zhu Ting responds coldly, “I just want to give you the pajamas.”

“Go out!” His tone is colder than before.

Zhu Ting flings his pajamas on the ground in anger. When she turns around, she finds Tang Feng abnormal. His face looks red. He grits his teeth and blue veins stand out. He is also shivering all over.

She looks down and flushes instantly – though he is washed by cold water, his reaction can’t be suppressed.

Recalling and connecting all suspicious details in the evening, she understands suddenly – he must have eaten something wrong!

“Tang Feng…”

“Fuck off!” Tang Feng rushes over, bangs the door with his foot and locks it from inside.

“Tang Feng! Open the door.” Zhu Ting knocks at the door with force.

Then the door is opened suddenly. Tang Feng glares at her fiercely with scarlet eyes, “Do you want to tell others you didn’t sleep with me?”

Zhu Ting is frightened. She takes a step back and lowers her voice, “I just want to take you to the hospital.”

“Xiaoma is outside and we can’t go out tonight. There’s something wrong with the alcohol I drank today. Keep away from me. When I lose my senses, I don’t know what I will do.”

The aphrodisiac was put into alcohol by Xiao Jinchong, so he knows its effect for sure. If she takes Tang Feng out now, it’s telling Xiao Jinchong that she and Tang Feng are putting on a show to him. He won’t let Tang Feng or her off – the lecher!

Now Tang Feng’s forehead is full of watery things. Zhu Ting doesn’t know they are beads of sweat or drops of water. But from his expression, she knows he is suppressing himself hard. It seems that much drug was put into his alcohol.

It turns out that he is afraid that he will harm her so he keeps her away from him and stands the pain alone! He can get her with this excuse, but he doesn’t, just because he doesn’t want to force her to do anything?

He is also trying to protect her from Xiao Jinchong’s evil hands through self-abuse.

Suddenly, Zhu Ting feels ashamed of her idea to hit Tang Feng with the sculpture.

At this moment, she finds Tang Feng closing his eyes, sitting at the door and convulsing all over. He is soaking wet. She is startled and calls his name again.

But he doesn’t respond. She becomes panicky and fetches a bath towel to wipe him. Once touching his body, she pulls back her hand – it’s as hot as a stove.

He can’t go to the hospital and doesn’t have a woman to give vent to his desire. He may die!

At the thought of death, Zhu Ting’s stomach knots. Gritting her teeth, she holds his armpits and wants to lift him onto the bed. But when she just moves him out of the bathroom, he holds her suddenly and dives forward. Thus they fall onto the carpet together. The bath towel in her hand is pressed under them.

His burning body clings to hers. It’s so hot that she has pins and needles all over.

“Tang Feng?”

She shouts hurriedly but can’t stop him. Within several seconds, he tears her clothes into pieces. She struggles hard but it doesn’t work. Finally, she grits her teeth and closes her eyes…

At midnight, Tang Feng sleeps sound beside her. She sits up slowly, looks at the traces on her body and glances at the bath towel with a bloodstain under Tang Feng. Then she tidies up the bath towel silently, enters the bathroom and washes her body desperately.

She thinks herself extremely stupid. She has sacrificed herself for Tang Feng.

Tang Feng…

She can’t see herself clearly. She could have ignored him!

But when she thought he might die, she became impetuous suddenly.

Zhu Ting puts on a wry smile. She didn’t know she would act on impulse. She is not a competent undercover agent anymore.

When she walks out of the bathroom and sees Tang Feng still lying on the carpet, her heart becomes soft. She fetches a blanket and covers him.

Since the first day she met Tang Feng, she has had a bad impression of him, but he has never harmed her. Instead, he is always considerate of her and often helps her.

Other undercover agents are always in danger, while she always can get help and turn danger into safety. Why?

Now is it her inexorable doom or good luck?

She tosses and turns on the bed and doesn’t fall asleep until the day almost breaks.

When she wakes up, it’s afternoon. Tang Feng has gone out. She changes clothes, walks downstairs and eats something. Then she goes to the Central Street to tidy up the store and prepare for its opening tomorrow.

Soon after she begins to work, she glimpses someone enter the store out of the corner of her eye. She turns around immediately, “Sorry, tomorrow the store will open…”

When she finds the comer is Xiao Jinchong, she is surprised.

Xiao Jinchong looks around and then praises smilingly, “The store is good.”

Zhu Ting smiles and doesn’t respond.

Now only they are in the store that hasn’t been opened completely. She doesn’t know why he comes here, so she doesn’t dare to say any polite formula with him.

“Well, I’m not welcome here?”

“No. The store is messy, and it’s not suitable to treat you here.” Zhu Ting says, but she doesn’t go to carry a chair for him.

Xiao Jinchong doesn’t take it to heart. He sits on a chair at the corner, “The Central Street is so bustling. I have become thirsty before I cover the whole of it.”

Hearing that, Zhu Ting pours water for him at once.

When Xiao Jinchong reaches out to take the cup, he touches the back of her hand. It’s unknown if he is intentional or not. She is so scared that she pulls back her hand immediately. He doesn’t take the cup and all water spills to his crotch.

Luckily, the weather is hot, and the water is cold.

“Sorry.” Zhu Ting pulls some tissues for him at once.

Xiao Jinchong doesn’t take the tissues and just leans against the back of the chair, gazing at her with a faint smile.

Understanding his meaning, Zhu Ting stands there embarrassedly at a loss what to do.

“Are you scared of me?”

Zhu Ting shakes her head.

“You’re right. I’m not scary.” Xiao Jinchong stands up.

Feeling him approaching her, Zhu Ting racks her brains and says hurriedly, “Tang Feng often tells me your grace of rebirth towards him. He says the person he respects most in his life is you. He tells me to respect you in the same way as he does. As Tang Feng’s woman, I keep what he says in mind, but as an inexperienced woman, I don’t know how to show my respect for you. Please forgive me.”

She stresses “Tang Feng’s woman” on purpose.

“Oh?” Xiao Jinchong pauses his steps and looks at her with great interest, “Tang Feng has said that to you? What else did he say?”

“I’m only a woman and know little, so he only tells me what I understand.”

“It seems the relationship between you and Tang Feng is good.”

“Our relationship has developed so deeply. How can it be bad?”

Finding Xiao Jinchong is gazing at her, she pours another cup of water and gives it to him. She bends over intentionally and a hickey appears on her chest.

Xiao Jinchong sees it at once, but he doesn’t feel surprised. He laughs loudly again, “Tang Feng is really good at conquering a woman.”

Then he takes out his cellphone and calls, “Bring a pair of trousers for me. Yes, I’m in Zhu Ting’s store.”

“Sorry.”

Xiao Jinchong waves, looks backward, takes the tissues from her and then enters the bathroom.

Seeing him enter it, she sighs with relief secretly.

She thought just now that if he did something to her in the store, she would show no mercy to him, no matter who he was.

“Zhu Ting.”

A familiar voice calls her behind. Zhu Ting’s face changes sharply. She turns around immediately and goes over.
