The two have a one-night stand fuelled by alcohol, and Zhao even brings along a range of erotic props. The next morning, A-Man feels guilty and confused, regretting his behaviour but also realising that Zhao has a crush on him that goes beyond a one-night stand. Zhao asks Man if he can leave his contact details before leaving, but Man confesses that he is married and refuses her request. Zhao looks disappointed, but soon leaves. When Ah Man returns to the company, he continues his work, but he receives a letter from his wife Yuan Zhen, which is full of thoughts and love for him. Ah Man decides that the next time he returns home, he will confess his one-night stand to his wife and seek her forgiveness. However, Zhao Yuetong does not give up on this and contacts Ah Man via SMS and invites him for coffee. At the coffee shop, Zhao reveals that she is interested in A-Man for more than a one-night stand. She asks A-Man to help her look at a project in Yanjing and hints that she has deeper feelings for him. Zhao Yuetong reveals to Ah Man that she had noticed him in college and had some knowledge of his special interests. She admits that she is also an SM enthusiast and that her behaviour at the bar that night was the first time she had practiced it with another person. Ah Man is shocked and realises that Zhao Yue Tong's feelings for him may be deeper than he thought. Zhao Yuetong's confession confuses Ah Man, who is unsure how to deal with this complicated relationship, especially since he already feels guilty about his wife. The whole story explores the complex relationship between loyalty, desire and guilt, and how people make choices when faced with temptation. Ah Man's inner struggle and Zhao Yue Tong's confession fill the story with emotional tension, while making one think about deeper questions about marriage, honesty and personal desires.

But that led him to his death when he was kidnapped by a rich woman, who he had made fun of... '???' He didn't know what happened after that... --- [Somewhere in a different time]--- 'Where am I?' he asked as he tries to move his head and eyes uncoordinated, there were noticeable things to hint where he was currently at; the church was styled like it was described from a dark fantasy book, the sky was clear with a few clouds roaming in the sky as the light of dawn hits them, and his parent who looked like a literal angel, '....they seemed to be speaking..."

The top boss in the capital, Master Lou, suddenly found his thighs hugged by a baby with pigtails. He even cried and called him daddy. Master Lou, "Who are you?" The baby, "I'm your son!" Master Lou, "????" The baby swindled Master Lou into going to the countryside to look for his mother. Song Wei recognized the man's face and immediately closed the door in his face. "Sorry, you've found the wrong person. His mother is next door." Master Lou held her hand as she was about to close the door and gave her a meaningful smile. "Woman, how have you been?" Later on… the news of Master Lou fetching his wife back from the countryside and having a child spread like a wildfire in the capital. The capital's socialites cried, "How can a village woman be worthy of our Master Lou?" Song Wei said, "You guys are right!" The baby was dissatisfied. "My mommy is young, pretty, and has a good figure. A medical expert is begging her to teach them. A top hacker is her assistant…" Song Wei gritted her teeth and covered the baby's mouth. "Shut up!" She had finally retired to the countryside to live a carefree life in her retirement, but all of this was ruined by her son! Her son even unknowingly proclaimed that she was extremely capable, causing a group of socialites to come and provoke her. Song Wei could not bear the description and rolled up her sleeves with her hands on her hips. "Come, if one of you comes, I'll kill one. If two come, I'll kill two!" When Master Lou heard the news, he smiled and warned everyone, "My wife came from the countryside. She's ignorant and afraid of strangers. Don't bully her." The socialites were furious. "Who can do that?!"

Kara had finished her second glass of wine by the time she'd explained everything and her eyelids seemed to be getting heavy. Her head had been resting on my shoulder while she had been recounting the events of the night before and she seemed in desperate need of sleep, so I helped her get in position on the sofa; laid her head on a nice cushion and she fell asleep quickly. I slipped into my bedroom and got changed into a little red dress that loosely fell to mid-thigh, and quietly watched the TV, although most of the time I stared at Kara. She looked so gorgeous, so vulnerable, and I couldn't help stroking my inner thigh as I watched her sleep. I wanted her now more than ever, to feel her lips on mine again and have her body pressed against mine, but in a far more intimate way than the night before. Her knees were bent towards her chest revealing a generous amount of thigh to me, I'd hardly noticed the blue skirt when she'd arrived because of the outpouring of emotion but now I could have a proper look at her smooth legs. Even though I could see quite a bit of her outer thigh I wanted to see more. My hand had found its way under my dress and was stroking my own smooth skin as I lusted after hers. I needed to get a better look and tried moving around on my chair, like a horny sixteen-year-old boy trying to look up a girl's skirt. Instead, I'm a horny nineteen-year-old girl trying to look up a girl's skirt which is totally different, right?.... Right?
