Chapter Eight, Jiang Li Emerging from the Bath

Jiang Li and I had long decided to sleep in separate rooms. It is indeed rare for a couple like us to start living apart from the very first night of our marriage. The key point is that we manage our separation with such calmness and naturalness, which is truly commendable and worthy of celebration.

I sat on the floor and began to confront the issue of whether one is oneself.

I scrutinized Jiang Li from top to bottom, yet it was still difficult to find any trace of a submissive demeanor about him

How outrageous, this is too much!

In variety shows, handsome men and beautiful women are always indispensable. As a staunch member of the appearance association, this is truly to my taste. Thus, captivated by those uniquely charming faces, I quickly forgot about Yu Zifei.

I came to my senses and found him smiling at me, his hands already resting on his belt as if he was about to unfasten it. Then, he repeated, "Do you want to see?"

I said: "Box, you really are something, bringing all the people I can't stand from all over the world!"

Beside me, I could hear Jiang Li's low, contemptuous laughter, which grew even more disdainful due to his success.

But why do I feel anxious and nervous, and at a loss? I haven't done anything wrong, so why is this happening!

The box immediately smiled and said: "Did I not see that there were two invitation cards left unwritten? At that time, I thought it would be a waste, which was quite a pity, so I..."

Before any torture was applied, she had already betrayed her accomplices. I hold a deep disdain for this kind of spirit of self-preservation, so I continued to press her: "What about Yu Zifei and Xue Hong? Were they also invited by my mother?"

I hurriedly raised my hand and rubbed it on my mouth a few times, but where is the saliva

Jiang Li held me down, preventing me from losing control. He continued speaking beside me: "You know her well; it has been several years of grievances, and they have finally been vented. It is quite normal for her to be mentally unstable."

Jiang Li had already changed into his pajamas, exuding an air of laziness and composure. His hair was damp and fell over his forehead, and his already perfect features appeared much softer due to his weary expression. The pajamas he wore were of the buttonless kind, simply tied at the waist with a belt. His long neck, alluring collarbone, and sturdy chest were boldly displayed before me. The fabric of his pajamas was thin, and his figure was faintly visible beneath that layer, accentuating his narrow waist and long legs, making him appear remarkably fit and tall.

Upon hearing my explanation, Jiang Li's disdainful gaze was instantly in place: "You still have him on your mind?"

Why did I become so extreme?

He does not seem to intend to explain either, merely revealing a hint of a mocking smile: "Having a new love, yet unable to forget an old flame?"

Thus, due to the baptism of a broken heart, I developed a penchant for watching horror films and a characteristic of being afraid to sleep alone. I am already 27 years old, and it is truly embarrassing to admit this

With Jiang Li's backing, the box's arrogance immediately increased by a third, and it said coldly: "However, some people always take the goodwill of others for granted."

I am feeling particularly melancholic and conflicted right now, so I subtly and discreetly asked Jiang Li: "Why didn't your handsome younger brother come today? Instead, a group of strong men showed up!"

It is probably difficult for pure men to generate a harmonious aesthetic between themselves. Whenever I think of Jiang Li and a big man blowing pink bubbles together, I just... feel disheveled in the wind

Am I really that pathetic, still unable to forget him even now

... ...

At this point, I am quite certain that Jiang Li is a little top. So, happily making a fuss in the new house, I just curled up there and let his brothers and friends have their fun.

Jiang Li said calmly, "First wipe off the saliva from your mouth before saying these words; it will be more effective."

What a ridiculous excuse! I slapped her on the head and angrily said, "I wouldn't mind if you casually brought in two pigs, but why did they have to come? Today, I almost lost all my cultivation!"

I tossed the remote control onto the sofa, removed my makeup, took a shower, and went to bed! I have no time to chat with this loser. The point is, this is not a conversation; it is a form of psychological domination and submission!

I glared at him in anger: "Who could forget him? I have completely forgotten him!"

Feeling troubled and restless, I had no choice but to casually turn on the television, preparing to pass the time for a while

"It's up to you," he said dismissively, waving his hand. "What does it have to do with me?" As he spoke, he changed his clothes and prepared to take a shower

Jiang Li looked at me with a head full of question marks and asked, "Which handsome younger brother?"

Among Jiang Li's friends, most are rather masculine men, with very few being effeminate, which has led me to question Jiang Li's character. Although I am not a fan of BL, I do have some understanding of the dynamics between gay individuals. I had always thought that Jiang Li should be a little top, perfectly matched with the handsome younger brother I saw two weeks ago. However, seeing so many masculine men coming to celebrate the new house today has made me hesitate. ... Could it be that Jiang Li ... ? ... Hmm?

The box murmured softly, "You have a new love now, why fear meeting an old flame?"

I was momentarily at a loss for words to refute her when I heard this. At that moment, Jiang Li stepped in to mediate. He patted me on the shoulder and smiled gently at the box, saying, "Please don't take it to heart; she is just too happy today and doesn't know how to express herself."

A single sentence from Jiang Li interrupted my reverie. He said: "Do you want to see?"

I made an effort to squeeze a look of disdain from my face, glanced at him, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Who do you think wants to see? What a sight!"

Understood, still not out of the closet. The light beauty man is a secret lover, unable to attend such a public occasion. How could I forget something like this? It seems I am truly exhausted today.

This figure, this proportion, tsk tsk, is truly extraordinary

My face turned red in an instant, and I turned my head to continue watching television. How could I be so shameless? Am I really that lewd? Watching television, watching television, my thoughts are very pure! ... But, but ...! ... But I really want to watch it! The male stars on the television are simply too inferior compared to Jiang Li ...! And they are not wearing pajamas. ... ... I swallowed hard, lacking in dignity, and continued to gaze at the television, lost in thought. The male stars on the television are simply too inferior compared to Jiang Li ...! And they are not wearing pajamas. ... ... I swallowed hard, lacking in dignity, and continued to gaze at the television, lost in thought.

"Regarding the last time when the box got drunk, you let him go home alone. At that moment, he looked back at us for a long time, like a little wife."

The box is indeed short of breath today ... However, fortunately, she did not get drunk during the day, otherwise, who knows who would be tormenting whom now

Generally speaking, when I am teased, Jiang Li always chooses a particularly comfortable position to stand by and watch, with the four characters "reveling in others' misfortune" prominently displayed on his forehead. This greatly annoys me, but considering his sexual orientation, it is likely that he feels particularly pleased when he sees women being mistreated. Therefore, I can only generously forgive him, as after today, we will truly return to our own lives and have no further connections. At that time, apart from living under the same roof, there probably won't be any other interactions.

After watching television for a while, Jiang Li came over after taking a shower. I glanced at him inadvertently and was instantly taken aback.

The box quickly believed Jiang Li's nonsense, made a face at me, and then left. I kicked the door in frustration, but it hurt so much that I almost cried out.

I was staring at the television without blinking when Jiang Li suddenly sat down on the sofa and said, "Even if you want to watch, I won't let you."

What does it mean that my mental instability is quite normal? Damn!

Ahem, no, I... I don't really know how to explain it. I can't just tell him that I think he and the people here have an unclear division of roles, and that some individuals are needed to balance the power of the submissives, can I? I can only roll my eyes and let my gaze wander between Jiang Li and his friends. This should be obvious enough, right?

Later, I began to disturb my mother every night, and miraculously, it cured my nightmares and paranoia. However, whenever I slept alone afterwards, all those terrifying feelings would return to reminisce with me

How charming this young man is, what a captivating side he has! Where is the justice in this!

Jiang Li is not foolish; he quickly understood my meaning, and thus he replied expressionlessly: "They do not know about my matters"

Finally, everyone remembered the matter of sleep, and after the commotion in the new house, they each dispersed. I called the box to stop last, as others left; she could not leave, for I still had a fire burning in my heart.

I thought carefully and excluded the above assumptions. Although I can be somewhat foolish at times, I can still distinguish whether I truly like someone. When I see Yu Zifei now, it is no longer the same feeling I had before; there is neither happiness nor excitement, not even desire. ... I just feel somewhat ... ? ... awkward! ? Why do I feel awkward? I have not wronged him; after all, he was the one who betrayed me. ! I find myself quite strange. I admit that during the preparations for the wedding, Yu Zifei's image always lingered in my mind, and at times I even doubted whether I still harbored any fantasies about him. ?

I admit that during the preparations for the wedding, Yu Zifei's image always lingered in my mind, and at times I even doubted whether I still harbored any fantasies about him. However, after seeing him today, I realized that I truly do not like him anymore, I really do not like him, even though when I first saw him today, my head felt dizzy and my legs went weak, I was extremely nervous.

My twenty-seventh birthday is approaching, so I have the idealistic desire to create a brand new official small banquet. Well, let's start with sleeping alone.

It is no wonder that Jiang Li chooses to befriend such a group of people. If he were to surround himself with a bunch of delicate light beauty men, what if one day one of them couldn't hold back and succumbed to their primal instincts? Wouldn't that reveal their true nature?

In fact, I still have some reservations about living apart, and these concerns are not related to Jiang Li, but rather stem from my personal issues. Didn't I mention before that I am afraid to sleep alone? This bad habit was inadvertently formed four years ago when I experienced a breakup. At that time, I was stood up by Yu Zifei regarding marriage, and as a result, for a long period afterward, I almost every day had various strange dreams, mostly dreaming of being on a deserted island, or in a war zone, or in a disaster, and then during the escape, everyone inadvertently abandoned me. In any case, the dreams usually ended with me being left alone in a dark or fiery place, surrounded by an extremely hostile environment, trembling there... Later, I developed the good habit of waking up in the middle of the night from nightmares. After waking up and being unable to fall back asleep, what did I do? I watched horror movies. I am particularly afraid of ghost films, but I don't know what got into my head at that time; I suddenly liked watching horror movies alone in the middle of the night, perhaps it was a case of extreme opposites. After watching horror movies, I generally trembled even more, that kind of trembling, as if my heart would jump out at any moment... At that time, I always felt that my room was filled with all kinds of ghosts, under the blanket, under the bed, and even on the pillow... It was terrifying. Later, I would finish watching a horror movie and then crawl into my mother's bed to sleep, and surprisingly, I could sleep very soundly...

The box raised its hand and swore, reporting my mother: "Your father is not someone I can summon; that was ultimately decided by Aunt Xiao"

Jiang Li said to me in a nonchalant manner: "You have overreacted"
