At 4:30 in the morning, Song Anjiu was sleeping soundly and hadn't even heard her phone alarm.
Fu Chenshang furrowed his brow as he reached for her phone to turn off the alarm. What would she need to get up so early for, he wondered?
It surely couldn't be anything good.
At 5:30, the phone started vibrating, and this time it woke Song Anjiu.
She glanced at the name on the caller ID and then at the current time, Oh no!
She had intended to step outside to take the call, but due to the large hand resting on her waist, she didn't want to wake him with her movements, so she lowered her voice, "Hello, Shen Huan..."
"Brother Jiu, why haven't you come yet?"
"Cough, there's been a little accident!"
"Hurry up! Xu Sicong, that asshole, is saying you're a coward hiding away because you're scared to face him!"
"Tell him to go eat..." She glanced at Fu Chenshang lying next to her and swallowed the upcoming word, irritably saying, "Wait, I'll be right there!"
"Sixth Ring, the usual place. I've already brought your car over."
"Got it." Song Anjiu muttered curses as she hung up the phone. Her whole body ached, and she didn't want to move a muscle...
Realizing she was completely naked under the thin blanket, skin against his, she bit her lip as her cheeks rapidly warmed.
She carefully observed him for a while, ensuring he showed no signs of waking, and then gently began to move his hand away.
Thinking about it... this guy was really good-looking! His features were so delicate it was unreal! If he had been ten years younger, he would have absolutely been an irresistible androgynous beauty. But now, traces of solemnity and coldness from time and experience removed any softness from his handsome face, turning him into someone seemingly unapproachable, atop a pedestal. However, right now, due to his defenses being down in sleep, he looked slightly more agreeable.
STOP! She was focusing on the wrong thing! Song Anjiu continued to carefully place down his hand and then lifted the blanket and got out of bed, picking up her clothes and dashing out in a flash.
She reached the living room and began to search for the clothes she had taken off the day before. If she wore the set that Fu Chenshang had bought for her, it might scare her friends to death.
Finally, she found the bag with her clothes on the sofa, hurriedly took them out, and quickly got dressed.
As she stood up too hastily, her body immediately screamed with intense pain. Biting her lip and holding her waist, she lifted the hem of her shirt to peek, and a distinctly clear bruise caught her eye. Damn it! That beast...
Beyond her waist, there were many more bruises in blue and purple hues on her body. With the scanty summer clothing, there was no way to completely cover them. Song Anjiu popped the collar of her black leather jacket, and gave it a tug. Well, that would have to do for now. Only her arms were exposed, and since she already had many old injuries on her body, they weren't too noticeable.
She'd better make a quick exit! Hopefully, she could return before Fu Chenshang awoke.
"Still got the energy to fuss about, it seems I shouldn't have gone easy on you last night."
The sudden voice startled Song Anjiu so much that her spine stiffened, and she turned her head slowly to see Fu Chenshang with his arms crossed, leaning against the bedroom door. She couldn't tell how long he had been standing there, watching.
Bullshit! When had he ever been gentle with her last night? She had been yelling until her throat was hoarse, and he hadn't been moved in the slightest...
