Under the dazzling mercury lamp, a snow-white body lay softly on the spacious round bed, the flawless skin gradually tainted by a dazzling rose color.
Su Zimo felt her head spinning as an unfamiliar heat coursed through her body. With much difficulty, she opened her eyes. The moment she saw the crystal lamp, she could distinctly feel a man climbing on top of her.
"You…” Su Zimo froze before attempting to forcefully push the man off her.
In her daze, the man seemed to offer a smile, then lowered his head to fiercely cover her lips with his own.
He domineeringly pried her lips open, compelling her to dance with him!
Su Zimo felt a strange sensation rising from the depths of her heart, one that she had great difficulty resisting. Despite intending to push the man away, she couldn't help but wrap her arms around his waist...
The man let out a soft chuckle, his movements becoming more intense. This caused Su Zimo to involuntarily let out a quiet moan.
A night of passion.
When Su Zimo woke up, besides the unbearable soreness all over her body, there was no one else in sight.
The events of last night felt like an agonizing dream. The man's blurred features, his unique scent, and that faint laughter, they all etched reminders in Su Zimo's mind - this was not a dream. She had truly been taken by a man last night!
Su Zimo massaged her throbbing temples and rolled out of the bed. A glimpse of the fresh red stain on the white bedsheet made her eyes sting.
She had lost her virginity just like that? And to a man whose face she hadn't even seen clearly?
The reality of the situation stabbed Su Zimo's heart. She had come to this club after receiving a call from a classmate. But what happened after that... she couldn't remember anything?
As for that man, aside from his blurred semblance, all she remembered was the man's rough invasion inside her.
The ringing of her phone interrupted Su Zimo's reminiscence. Picking it up, she glanced at the number, took a deep breath, and then pressed the answer key.
"Hello," Su Zimo found her voice bitter and raspy.
The woman's voice came through the phone, "Miss Su, congratulations for passing the preliminary round of our company's interview. Are you able to come to our office for the second round at 10 this morning?"
Taken aback, Su Zimo nodded numbly, "I can, thank you."
After ending the call and seeing that it was nearly 9 o'clock, she took a quick shower. But when she got out, she couldn't find her clothes anywhere.
She stood in the middle of the room, wrapped in a towel, feeling a moment of panic.
That damned man. He had taken advantage of her and had the audacity to steal her clothes as well. Rascal. Thief. Jerk!
While cursing the man from last night, Su Zimo searched her room for something to wear.
Finally, she found her dress from last night in a corner and a white men's shirt on the back of the couch.
Presumably, the shirt was left behind by that jerk from last night. But Su Zimo had no other choice but to wear it if she wanted to leave the house.
She finally passed the first interview—she couldn't afford to miss this opportunity!
Not hesitating for a moment, Su Zimo picked up and wore the shirt. The remaining scent of the man on the shirt made her uncomfortable.
She left the building, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the city.
As she was running late, she quickened her pace, and just as she was about to enter the building, she saw an elevator door about to close ahead.
Without hesitation, she ran over, stretched out her arm, and prevented the door from closing.
However, what Su Zimo didn't know was that this elevator was only accessible to the higher management and esteemed guests of the companies in the building.
Xue Yuxin belonged to the latter.
Suzi Mo, who didn't know the specific situation, was extremely lucky to pick a time when he was there.
Before she had time to brake and slow down, Suzi Mo was carried forward by inertia after entering the elevator, about to hit the cold elevator wall.
Feeling unlucky, she resignedly closed her eyes to prepare herself, but suddenly felt a force pulling her sideways.
Temporarily redirected, Suzi Mo was somewhat surprised. By the time she came to her senses, she had already fallen into a warm embrace.
As the elevator doors slowly closed behind her, Suzi Mo, leaning against the man's chest, lowered her head to leave after she realized what had happened.
She felt that she owed this man a thank you, but the moment she lifted her eyes to see his face, she was completely frozen on the spot.
"It's you!?"
The day before, Suzi Mo was almost hit by this man's car while walking down the street. Luckily, only her bag was slightly damaged. She stepped forward to argue, but the man insolently tossed a card at her, suggesting he'd keep her. It was an outright insult!
"I would also like to ask you the same question."
Xue Yuxin's gaze fell on the men's shirt the woman was wearing, and his smile deepened.
Naturally, he remembered that the woman in front of him was the one he had spent the night with.
But Suzi Mo didn't know yet that this man, who once jokingly offered to keep her, was the one who had taken her virginity.
"Why are you always around! Damaging others' bags and still acting so confidently?"
The first thing this woman talked about when she saw him was not about the night before. It seemed she didn't clearly see his face.
After a moment of contemplation, Xue Yuxin gently opens his mouth to speak,
"If my memory serves me right, I was just standing still in the elevator, you barged in. Are you sure the phrase 'relentless ghost' doesn't describe you?"
"If I knew in advance it was you inside, I would've never entered!"
"Pity, it's too late for that now."
A teasing smile twinkled in Xue Yuxin's eyes as he firmly grabbed Su Zimo's wrist, cornering her in the elevator.
"Let go! What exactly are you trying to do?"
"I didn't get an answer to yesterday's question yet."
Su Zimo, held in stalemate inside the elevator, thought for a moment, recalling the question about financial support, this made her even more furious.
"Stop thinking! That's impossible!"
"Oh? What if I am determined to turn this impossibility into a possibility?"
Xue Yuxin pinched Su Zimo's chin with a raised eyebrow. Far from hesitating, she unwaveringly yelled back,
"Make that happen in your dreams!"
The strength of the man was beyond her resistance. Su Zimo had to use her brains, raised her knee, aiming to strike him hard, but Xue Yuxin was too quick to move, slightly hiding to dodge the attack.
"So you're annoyed and embarrassed? I am sorry but I am not as easy to deal with as you think."
Hating, Su Zimo pulled back her leg. With a quick glance, she saw an opening beside him and rushed forward to press the elevator door open button.
However, with Xue Yuxin still holding on to her hand, he warned and pulled her back swiftly before she could even touch the button. Startled, she involuntarily screamed, finding herself pulled back again.
This time she came face to face with Xue Yuxin, who slightly lowered his head. Their lips accidentally brushed against each other. Suddenly, a profound silence permeated the elevator.
