Tang Ye and Mu Caisang rode the elevator downstairs, and they were the only two people inside. Neither of them spoke, creating an oddly awkward atmosphere. Strangely enough, this silence seemed to give rise to a faint undercurrent of ambiguity. The two had already been intimate with each other, but upon seeing each other again, both were desperately looking for reasons to avoid discussing that matter, comforting themselves with the thought that it was an accident or prompted by some ulterior motive.
For Tang Ye, "having an ulterior motive" was the excuse he clung to, and then he reflected a great deal. He always felt that using physical intimacy to achieve strategic arrangements in a game of wits was despicable. Even though he wasn't a good person, he wouldn't take the initiative to commit bad deeds. As for acts like murder or bullying, those were always initiated by others against him, and his actions were merely in self-defense.
