Chapter 6, Temptation

The car slowly drove out, gradually picking up speed. The brisk night wind swept by, blowing Xu Tong's long hair forward, obscuring her cheeks.

"In the future, just like today, don't apply those greasy eye shadows and such. This clean and neat look is so much more beautiful!" His voice became incredibly gentle, akin to a whisper, while also possessing a magnetic quality that irresistibly captivated others, leaving them in a state of intoxicated forgetfulness.

Under normal circumstances, fifteen minutes would be sufficient to arrive. However, that evening, for some unknown reason, we encountered a traffic accident halfway through, causing the entire street to be completely blocked.

Xu Tong shook her head

He approached her, extending his hand to support her chin, slowly lifting it; she tilted her head back, her large eyes glistening like they were filled with water, shyly gazing at him. He also lowered his head to look at her, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, his thumb gently stroking her cheek, the movement soft yet full of temptation

Xu Tong smiled shyly, her smile carrying a hint of playfulness, "I will take the bus; for just one yuan, I can enjoy the night scenery of half the city, what a bargain!"

While this human-driven approach is indeed somewhat tragic, it is certainly better than being exposed by that fox, Gu Chen, who would reveal the facade.

Xu Tong hurriedly shook her head, "Absolutely not! With my current attire and this scent, and being driven back by such a handsome boss in a flashy sports car, I guarantee that starting tomorrow, all the students in the school will spread rumors about me doing improper part-time work!"

Xu Tong walked up to the convertible sports car. Gu Chen sat in the driver's seat, looking at her with an expressionless face, his lips slightly pressed together in a semblance of a smile.

Many years ago, she once embraced and kissed a boy named Pang Meng under the trees in the early morning, unable to restrain her feelings

Yet on the surface, there was a look of hesitation, "But I cannot accept it... it is unreasonable... no merit, no reward..."

She never expected him to be so charming, and she could almost hear the pounding of her own heart

It is easy to imagine how many passersby would gaze at her—a girl in a short skirt with disheveled hair, running through the night as if being pursued by debt collectors

She could not help but feel a stir in her heart

Clearly, in addition to being shameless, she is also capable of risking her life. For this reason, timid and life-loving individuals like Qian Ruyun will never be able to win against her in their lifetime

He took a card from his pocket and handed it to her, saying, "Keep this card safe; it contains some money, enough for your expenses." After a pause, he subtly sniffed, catching the lingering scent of smoke and alcohol on her, and couldn't help but frown, a hint of disgust flashing across his brow. He advised her, "From now on, do not go to nightclubs anymore."

Gu Chen laughed heartily and asked with a sly expression, "Are you implying that I am not a serious person?"

Upon connecting, it was indeed Gu Chen

Xu Tong rolled her eyes and replied with a smile: "I have been here for quite a while, just came out from inside, waiting for someone."

Sister asked: "Did you just arrive? Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"

He seemed quite fascinated by her intoxicated appearance, chuckling softly with delight. His fingers traced her lips, gently kneading them with a slight pressure, as he leaned closer to her ear, his voice as intoxicating and enchanting as fine wine, "Keep the card safe. You will be rewarded for your merits; when I desire your share of the reward, I will naturally come to collect it from you"

He seized the opportunity and immediately advanced boldly, his agile tongue teasing and swirling within her mouth, enticing her tongue and making her unable to resist chasing after him. Yet, just as she was about to catch him, he slyly slipped away to the side. Thus, he tirelessly and repeatedly teased her, leaving her breathless and flustered from the kisses.

"Damn it! You disgusting woman!" The chewed-up, saliva-soaked cherry stem landed right on Tang Zhuang. "You little brat, what kind of curse have you fallen under? So perverse! I think I should go get some dog blood, chicken blood, or pig blood to splash on you!"

Sisters and books walked out from the entrance and, upon seeing her, couldn't help but ask: "Yao Yao? Aren't you supposed to be at the hospital taking care of your mother today? Didn't you take leave to not come?"

"I will send you back," he said

She gave him a timid smile and cleverly said, "In fact, I don't like those things either!"

The moist, red lips hidden beneath the strands of hair are subtly curling upwards when no one is watching. The smile concealed at the corner of the mouth is somewhat proud, somewhat joyful, and somewhat enigmatic

Xu Tong seemed oblivious to him, still immersed in her own world with a face full of springtime joy, eating cherries, spitting out the pits, and consuming the cherry stems.

Money may be able to bully an honest and kind mother, but it is absolutely impossible to trample on her daughter Xu Tong's head and act tyrannically. In that marriage contest, the reason she was able to defeat her mother was simply because she was more shameless. As for Xu Tong, being shameless has always been of no concern to her; she does not care. However, if anyone attempts to insult her mother, she will certainly fight him to the death.

Noticing her awkwardness, Gu Chen seemed to kiss even more comfortably

Is this a new variety? The adult cherry with medicinal ingredients? He mockingly teased Xu Tong, "I never knew that eating cherries could make someone look so lewd. I really learned something today!"

Thinking that the revolution has not yet succeeded, she could only suppress her anger and resentfully said to herself: Alright, Gu Chen, let you be arrogant for a while. Once I complete my plan, let's see if I will still indulge your young master illness

A large group of people in the room, smoking, drinking, and boasting loudly, creating a cacophony of noise

She obediently nodded, saying "Good!" However, she only uttered a single word, yet it seemed as if she was already quite parched. While looking at him, she timidly extended her moist little tongue from her lips, as if afraid of startling something, and carefully moistened the two rosy patches. The lips, now glistening, appeared even more plump and translucent, and the breath that escaped from those lips carried a hint of floral nectar, exuding a faint fragrance and sweetness.

Xu Tong experienced a moment of disorientation, but quickly regained her composure to dispel that sense of dizziness

With no other choice, Xu Tong gritted her teeth, paid the fare, pushed the door open, and dashed out.

When he finally let her go, her face was flushed as if she had been drinking. Her eyes seemed to be veiled with a thin layer of mist, half-open and half-closed in a hazy daze. Her breath was rapid and short, and her body leaned softly against his chest, as if it had melted into water, truly soft and boneless.

Xu Tong displayed an anxious expression, her face flushed, repeatedly waving her hands, and hurriedly explaining: "No, no! I didn't mean that! Gu Shao, you must believe me!" From her expression to her voice, it was utterly convincing

Gu Chen looked at her, her smile as radiant as a flower, and his gaze gradually became profound

Xu Tong is an intelligent person and immediately understands what Gu Chen's frown signifies. She quickly says in a pitiful tone: "I am sorry... the smell of smoke and alcohol on me is a bit strong... but it must be like this in the private room..." Her voice carries a hint of grievance and self-deprecation, while her expression appears to be a mix of helplessness, frustration, and resignation.

She widened her eyes in a state of panic, as if she were extremely surprised that he would kiss her, as if this kiss were truly her first kiss, leaving her at a loss.

He asked, "Why is it so noisy?"

He squinted slightly, his Adam's apple bobbing, and quickly lowered his head to cover her soft, pink lips with his mouth

Xu Tong cast a sidelong glance at him, completely disregarding him with an extreme roll of her eyes, before lazily retracting her gaze and spitting out a cherry stem from her mouth

He slightly furrowed his brow and said, "It's not good; taking the bus alone at such a late hour is unsafe. Moreover, you're wearing such a short skirt, which is too provocative."

When Tang Zhuang walked into Xu Tong's room, he almost thought he had entered the wrong place. "Why have you spat cherry pits all over the floor! Damn! How could you eat so many? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth! My goodness! You've even chewed the cherry stems to bits. Xu Tong, you are truly a little pervert! Look at your room, it's both messy and dirty, it looks just like a garbage dump!"

Tang Zhuang walked over, picked up a cherry, and tossed it into his mouth

Fasten your seatbelt. As she looked up, she realized that Gu Chen was staring at her intently, his brow slightly furrowed, as if he was disgusted by something.

He smiled and gently asked, "Have you eaten?"

Xu Tong hurriedly said: "Wait for me, I will go outside the private room!"

Come here! he said to her gently

That was indeed a long time ago, and her tongue had long forgotten the taste of that kiss

Xu Tong smiled and said, "One still has to make money; how can one live without money?"

The sisters looked at the silver sports car that had suddenly stopped in front of them, and with a knowing and ambiguous "oh," they said enviously, "Yao Yao, you are truly fortunate to be favored by Young Master Gu! I'm leaving now, so as not to disturb your sweet moment!" With that, she swayed her hips and departed.

His voice seemed to reveal a hint of displeasure, "Wait for me at the entrance of Fantasy Love in half an hour." After saying this, he hung up the phone

I live in the school's dormitory

In the evening, Xu Tong made up a reason to take a leave and went to Tang Zhuang's place to pass the time. A group of people was having a great time when the phone vibrated.

A strange number is displayed on the screen

Xu Tong stared at her phone, feeling a surge of anger within her. This man was truly domineering—where in the world could one find a hostess who was not noisy? Although she was pretending to be a hostess, it was evident that the world revolved around him; as long as he issued a command, she was expected to go to great lengths to comply, without him even needing to consider her opinions. How could he be so certain that she would respond with "Okay" instead of "Sorry, I can't leave"?

Xu Tong felt a surge of wild joy in her heart. It seemed that she had successfully evoked his pity and affection towards herself

Her response clearly earned him more admiration—this delicate young girl, even in the face of adversity, still maintained her self-respect and self-love, and did not become overly ecstatic over the sudden windfall

Xu Tong was nestled on the sofa, holding a large plate of cherries in her arms, happily enjoying them.

Gu Chen gestured for her to relax, saying, "It's just a joke, don't be nervous." He stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and nodded, saying, "You do have a point. Alright, I won't see you off. But how will you get back?"

He raised his other hand and gently brushed her eyelids with a tender touch. She instinctively closed her eyes, and the brilliant starlight instantly vanished, replaced by a dizzying darkness that surged before her. His hand moved to encircle her waist, forcefully pulling her towards him. She stumbled in front of his chest, surprised, and couldn't help but gasp softly. However, before her voice could be conveyed, it was swallowed by him.

The money, like mica, made the woman unaware of her own worth, which promptly solidified Xu Tong's previously wavering decision to seduce.

This is not actually her first kiss

When Xu Tong arrived at the entrance of the Illusory Love, she was already out of breath. While trying to calm her breathing, she glanced at her watch and was relieved to see that there were still eight minutes left to meet the half-hour deadline

Xu Tong first went home to change into a short shirt and short skirt—one must fully commit to the performance. Which escort girl goes to work dressed in jeans—then hurriedly took a taxi to Huàn'ài.

After eating, Gu Chen asked Xu Tong where she lived

I know that good girls do not do this. However, my mother is still in the hospital, and during the day I have to study, so I can only come out to work at night. I... I don't want to, but I have no choice..." She raised her head, looking at him with bright eyes, as if trying to clarify and assure him of something, and said anxiously: "But, but I... I will keep myself pure..."

He started the car, "I haven't either. Let me take you out for a meal"

Xu Tong went around to the other side, opened the door herself, and got into the car
