_{An explosion of gloominess still filled me though, as while holding the box in my hand, I thought: He's trying to get with Professor Song, so he must've bought some boxes of this stuff wholesale. This way, while he planed on sending some to Professor Song, he can just conveniently give a box each to both Li You and me, right?}
"Would you like me to help?" I heard the sweet sounding voice of Professor Song chime in from behind Xiao Huaisu. Dear Professor Song, open your eyes and look carefully at the man beside you, he's nothing but a shameless hypocrite.

_{Seeing that I haven't said a word, he walked over to the sofa, sat down, then placed the cup on a nearby coffee table. Still at the entrance, I straightened up my body, my mind was still a bit muddled, so I was unable to keep up with his line of thinking, forcing me to further ask: "Why did you bring glucose..."}After she left, Xiao Huaisu stood in place, while the still being held me continued pretending to be unconscious and didn't move a muscle for a long time. The more he didn't move, the more nervous I grew, this staying still act of his forcing me to ask myself: Was I found out? Along with making me hesitate about whether I should just wake up and tell him I was alright.

_{"Yes?" His eyes looked confused.}
Xiao Huaisu politely refused her offer, saying to her: "Isn't there a class you need to attend to in a little while? I can handle this guy on my own, so you can go on ahead." Because of this I thought very seriously about what his intentions may be, and came to the conclusion it must surely be that he was afraid I would expose the fact of him being married, which is why he was in a rush to chase Professor Song away. Oh poor Professor Song, it seems she will continue to be left in the dark. Sadly, there was nothing I could for that beautiful woman at the moment.

"Yes?" His eyes looked confused.

_{Xiao Huaisu: "..."}"Um... just that—"

Xiao Huaisu: "..."

_{But right then, Xiao Huaisu suddenly said: "You do know that you're pretty heavy, right?"}
But right then, Xiao Huaisu suddenly said: "You do know that you're pretty heavy, right?"

But right then, Xiao Huaisu suddenly said: "You do know that you're pretty heavy, right?"

_{Seeing him like this, made me wonder: {Am I overthinking it?}}Realising time was of the essence, I flipped myself off the sofa, pulling off a nimble forward roll and tumbled my way to the entrance. The beams of light beyond the entryway entering just as I opened the door, made my heart thump with joy.

Seeing him like this, made me wonder: Am I overthinking it?

_{His voice called out from behind me, saying: "From the looks of it, you seem rather energetic, don't you think?"}Did he perhaps...

His voice called out from behind me, saying: "From the looks of it, you seem rather energetic, don't you think?"

_{To which Xiao Huaisu kept staring at me, and staring at me, and staring at me. He stared at me so devotedly that it made me think he had fallen in love with me.}
Which immediately made me super pissed! I wanted to say: Do you think I'm some weak-looking skinny little chick with you? But afterwards I remembered that Xiao Huaisu was still somewhat taller than me so I was discouraged. I then recalled that a long time ago, when I had gone over to his family's house for tutoring, there was a time when he had just come out of the shower wearing only a pair of sweatpants. His upper body was left bare while he had walked out drying his hair. That sturdy, slender figure of his had not one ounce of excess flab. That V-line of his, those abs... they all made me jealous to the extreme! Usually he had worn nothing but tailored clothing, so I wrongly thought he was just some skinny weakling, never expecting he had actually looked like that. Thus, if that was how he was back then, the situation now couldn't be much different, right? What's more, he had always bee a man with great self-control.

To which Xiao Huaisu kept staring at me, and staring at me, and staring at me. He stared at me so devotedly that it made me think he had fallen in love with me.

_{{The absolute worse of the worst!}}"Would you like me to help?" I heard the sweet sounding voice of Professor Song chime in from behind Xiao Huaisu. Dear Professor Song, open your eyes and look carefully at the man beside you, he's nothing but a shameless hypocrite.

The absolute worse of the worst!

_{Gripping the doorknob tightly, I glared at him as I asked: "What kind of drugs!" {First you plan on making me dizzy, then you'll do this and that to me so in the end I'll be taken from this world forever! If I don't come up for a way to leave this place, today will be the day I die!}}Go looking for tools?! Was he planning on ruthlessly killing me to stop me from spilling the beans and in order to shut me up for good?! That's how things always turned out in the movies! Plus, isn't it said that the average case of assaults are mostly committed by familiar acquaintances? So the more I thought about it, the more freaked out I got.

Gripping the doorknob tightly, I glared at him as I asked: "What kind of drugs!" First you plan on making me dizzy, then you'll do this and that to me so in the end I'll be taken from this world forever! If I don't come up for a way to leave this place, today will be the day I die!

_{It really was drugs!}
Meaning, this sneaky method of his was not going to work. For someone as clever as myself, why did he think a sentence like that would make me jump up in anger? If was to be any sort of leaping, it would only happen in my heart... Even though me jumping up almost happening was kind of true.

It really was drugs!

_{Realising time was of the essence, I flipped myself off the sofa, pulling off a nimble forward roll and tumbled my way to the entrance. The beams of light beyond the entryway entering just as I opened the door, made my heart thump with joy.}
The benefit of this plan of his not working, however, was that... Xiao Huaisu ended up carrying me in his arms like a princess~

Realising time was of the essence, I flipped myself off the sofa, pulling off a nimble forward roll and tumbled my way to the entrance. The beams of light beyond the entryway entering just as I opened the door, made my heart thump with joy.

_{I was afraid I would let something slip another time so I quickly explained: "No, it's actually hypoglycaemia, you know, low blood sugar. Qiao Damai mistakenly thought anaemia was hypoglycaemia."}Therefore, with a straight face, I said: "Professor, you must've heard me wrong. What I actually said was that he, Qiao Damai, was a beast."

I was afraid I would let something slip another time so I quickly explained: "No, it's actually hypoglycaemia, you know, low blood sugar. Qiao Damai mistakenly thought anaemia was hypoglycaemia."

_{This act of his causing a streak of terror to run through me. {Could he have figured out I figured out his true face? So is he planning on confining me and torturing me every day?}}He definitely drugged it!

This act of his causing a streak of terror to run through me. Could he have figured out I figured out his true face? So is he planning on confining me and torturing me every day?

_{After I said that, he slowly raised his gaze towards me, making me realize that phrase could have several meanings so I hurriedly explained: "You lived overseas for a while so you wouldn't know that people here normally refer to going to the 'seashell', as going to the sea. Going to the sea just means heading to the sea or beach to have fun normally—there's a sea in seashell, isn't there? So it's not what you're thinking, okay?".}
Now be honest with me, if the person you've been pining away for in secret for many many years held you in a princess carry, how would you feel? So right then, my entire body was tingling, and I had no control over it whatsoever! I knew he was scum, I knew he was a beast, yet I had no control over the weakened state my limbs fell into, nor over my heart which beat at a quickened pace. And even though I could not see my own face, I just knew because of how stimulated I was, there was surely a rush of blood happening there...

_{I mumbled while taking the chocolates handed to me: "You don't even like sweet things, so why'd you buy chocolates?"}Later, I assumed he would just be taking me to the infirmary then return to go find Professor Song and continue their conversations about whatever, never at all expecting for that guy to take me back to his own place!

I mumbled while taking the chocolates handed to me: "You don't even like sweet things, so why'd you buy chocolates?"

_{Upon hearing my response, Xiao Huaisu's brows visibly relaxed. His entire body was now leaning back into the sofa, his mood apparently rather good. So when I saw him smile, I too let out a silly giggle.}But just as I was planning to make a break for it—

Upon hearing my response, Xiao Huaisu's brows visibly relaxed. His entire body was now leaning back into the sofa, his mood apparently rather good. So when I saw him smile, I too let out a silly giggle.

_{And like hell this was going to happen. I got to get out of here!}
My rational mind protested: How could the filthy hands belonging to that beast hold this pure body of mine?

And like hell this was going to happen. I got to get out of here!

_{I proceeded to look at him suspiciously, then said: "I thought you thought I said you went overseas to become a male-prostitute..."}
While the sad truth was, by him holding me, I honestly did soon feel dizzy and there was no pretence at all.

I proceeded to look at him suspiciously, then said: "I thought you thought I said you went overseas to become a male-prostitute..."

_{Because he was already hitched yet was still aiming for Professor Song, all my previous knowledge of his prior gentle and refined nature had been smashed to smithereens! Forcing an involuntary bout of regret on my part. I should've figured this out earlier.}Because he was already hitched yet was still aiming for Professor Song, all my previous knowledge of his prior gentle and refined nature had been smashed to smithereens! Forcing an involuntary bout of regret on my part. I should've figured this out earlier. Could the man able to suppress my great martial art skills with his taekwondo really turn out to be an ordinary and harmless person? So now that this disgraceful matter of his was discovered by me, I shouldn't have been shocked at all, this was only to be expected.

_{But just as I was planning to make a break for it—}Just as I was finished explaining, he suddenly reached over to grab two boxes of chocolate from under the table, giving them to me as he casually said in a light voice: "I brought these back from my last business trip. So to keep you from fainting again once you walk out the door, one's for you and the other is for Youyou."

But just as I was planning to make a break for it—

_{But right then, Xiao Huaisu suddenly said: "You do know that you're pretty heavy, right?"}Swallowing a couple gulps of my own saliva, I calmly asked: "What do you have there?"

But right then, Xiao Huaisu suddenly said: "You do know that you're pretty heavy, right?"

_{When I heard his response, for a good minute, I as left speechless: "..."}
But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!

When I heard his response, for a good minute, I as left speechless: "..."

_{"No, of course not!" But I did do something to you that warrants me giving an apology to you though. I went and gave birth to your kid behind your back. Even though it happened accidentality, to me, it was more of a pleasant surprise.}

_N/A I stared at him blankly, while he also stared at me, and stared at me, and stared at me... he kept staring at me until I finally recovered my memories. Of course me remembering does not necessarily mean I have to admit that I had called him a beast. What would become of my clever self if I did?

_"Seashell."
Setting me down on the sofa, he turned and left the room. So after making sure he was no where in sight, I stealthily opened my eyes then lifted my head to see what he was up to. Unfortunately, I was not too familiar with the layout of his apartment. The bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and study, were the only places I knew. But he didn't go to an of these places though, so where the heck was he!

"Seashell."

_{Later, I assumed he would just be taking me to the infirmary then return to go find Professor Song and continue their conversations about whatever, never at all expecting for that guy to take me back to his own place!}
Did he perhaps...

Closing the magazine, he gave me a shallow smile, and I couldn't help but tremble.

_{Blatantly, with not one ounce of respect for the law in his eyes, he replied with utmost clarity: "Drugs^[medicine]—" that word was all I needed to hear to make me filled to the brim with alarm.}
Go looking for tools?! Was he planning on ruthlessly killing me to stop me from spilling the beans and in order to shut me up for good?! That's how things always turned out in the movies!

_{His gaze finally left me, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief. Having heard me say what I said, he leisurely opened up a magazine and flipped through it, his tone light as he said: "In your eyes, what isn't delicious."} Chow Singsing (周星星) this is Steven Chow. (Fight Back to School, Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle [<<--start with this one if you're new], etc. are some of his films) For the sake of context, he's a comedic actor, for the most part; the cool, suave funny type, and the literal King of Comedy (another film of his btw). Imdb | Wikipedia[] 周发发 (Chow Fafa) This is Chow Yun-Fat. Like Steven Chow, he is also one of the big four actors who made box office killings back in the day. He's most renowned for his dark, gritty, and sombre performances (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is just one of his films) If you've never seen any film of his, you have not lived this life fully. He's just so freaking cool. Not even Dragon Ball Evolution could leave a smudge on his legacy. Imdb | Wikipedia[] 下海: lit. going out to sea can mean a bunch of things, including going into prostitution or getting involved in improper things. It can also describe becoming a professional at something, starting a business or becoming an actor, etc.[]***Random fact that will be important later: Youyou's name is pronounced Yoyo.***

_"Seashell."I placed the empty cup back on the table. Hearing what he said, I immediately remembered him being married yet still trying to pick up a single woman, causing a pang of pain to resound in my heart. My perfect Huaisu-ge, how oh how did you fall into such a state? My Mr. Perfect turning into Mr. Scum was a sad reality to bear. So pretending I had remembered something else, I replied: "Oh, sorry, my bad. I've just been really busy lately so it slipped my mind. I promise I'll drop them off to you tomorrow, alright?"

"Seashell."

So of course I'm going to scam him!

_{{The absolute worse of the worst!}}But after asking it, I remembered again that Qiao Damai said Xiao Huaisu was going after Professor Song, and even further recalling him saying that she liked eating chocolate—he even told me which brand. So peering down at the box in my hand, I noticed however it wasn't the same brand that guy had mentioned she liked.

The absolute worse of the worst!

_{{If this is the case, HE TRULY IS A BEAST!!!}}I snapped my head back to look at him, When did he get back! While I was racked with nerves, I noticed he was holding a cup containing a mysterious substance. The substance appeared to be clear, just like boiled water. But I knew this was not going to be an ordinary day, so how could it be just an ordinary cup of boiled water?

If this is the case, HE TRULY IS A BEAST!!!

_{Just as I escaped from Xiao Huaisu's, I made the decision to go find Professor Song and tell her Xiao Huaisu was not a good man.}
But just as I was planning to make a break for it—

_{That beautiful lady is being deceived}Therefore, with a straight face, I said: "Professor, you must've heard me wrong. What I actually said was that he, Qiao Damai, was a beast."

That beautiful lady is being deceived

_{He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"}
His voice called out from behind me, saying: "From the looks of it, you seem rather energetic, don't you think?"

He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"

I really fooled myself into thinking I was that strong, it seems. Thank you for this. " I reached out and picked up the glucose filled cup, downing it in one gulp, all the while thinking: Damn, how the heck can I be such a cool guy, huh? Each and every act was performed naturally and smooth to perfection. Not one trace of awkwardness could be seen, and not to be a show-off or anything, but right now, I could probably act together with Chow FafaT/N: Chow Yun-fat, known for dark, sombre portrayals and not get stage fright at all.

_{As I sat there chewing on some chocolate, I thought things over. {Before when he had no time to ask me for the clothes, was it because he went on a business trip?}} Meaning, this sneaky method of his was not going to work. For someone as clever as myself, why did he think a sentence like that would make me jump up in anger? If was to be any sort of leaping, it would only happen in my heart... Even though me jumping up almost happening was kind of true.

As I sat there chewing on some chocolate, I thought things over. Before when he had no time to ask me for the clothes, was it because he went on a business trip?

_{"Oh, so that's how it is. I actually thought I had done something to you that warranted an apology."}Yes, even though I was just almost bribed with two boxes of chocolate, when I thought about that beautiful lady being deceived, being the ever honest, upright and brilliant me that I am, how could I just stand idly by?

"Oh, so that's how it is. I actually thought I had done something to you that warranted an apology."

_{Xiao Huaisu: "..."}
It really was drugs!

Xiao Huaisu: "..."

_{{And like hell this was going to happen. I got to get out of here!}}Just as I was finished explaining, he suddenly reached over to grab two boxes of chocolate from under the table, giving them to me as he casually said in a light voice: "I brought these back from my last business trip. So to keep you from fainting again once you walk out the door, one's for you and the other is for Youyou."

And like hell this was going to happen. I got to get out of here!

_{"Oh, so that's how it is. I actually thought I had done something to you that warranted an apology."}And like hell this was going to happen. I got to get out of here!

"Oh, so that's how it is. I actually thought I had done something to you that warranted an apology."

_{Seeing him like this, made me wonder: Am I overthinking it?}
Gripping the doorknob tightly, I glared at him as I asked: "What kind of drugs!" First you plan on making me dizzy, then you'll do this and that to me so in the end I'll be taken from this world forever! If I don't come up for a way to leave this place, today will be the day I die!

Seeing him like this, made me wonder: Am I overthinking it?

_{{But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!}}Setting me down on the sofa, he turned and left the room. So after making sure he was no where in sight, I stealthily opened my eyes then lifted my head to see what he was up to. Unfortunately, I was not too familiar with the layout of his apartment. The bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and study, were the only places I knew. But he didn't go to an of these places though, so where the heck was he!

But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!

_{Of all things, he then asked: "You were thinking about me?"}"Didn't you say you were anaemic? I thought I had to give you glucose just after you woke up." Right as he explained it all to me carefully, he also had on a look that said: I already know everything, and I'm just going along with you.

Of all things, he then asked: "You were thinking about me?"

_{Curious, I asked: "You went on a business trip earlier? Where did you go?"}
Raising his brows curiously, he replied: "Glucose..."

Curious, I asked: "You went on a business trip earlier? Where did you go?"

_{Globs of cold sweat were dripping down my face. If things kept going like this, it's only a matter of time before someone dies! So taking the safety of my body into consideration given the difference in strength between the two of us, and in order to avoid an angry, unabashed beating from Xiao Huaisu; I decided to make a break for it first.}
When I heard his response, for a good minute, I as left speechless: "..."

So taking the safety of my body into consideration given the difference in strength between the two of us, and in order to avoid an angry, unabashed beating from Xiao Huaisu; I decided to make a break for it first. "Oh, I just remembered I have a class this afternoon, so I won't disturb you any longer. I'll be on my way now, bye."

_{I snapped my head back to look at him, When did he get back! While I was racked with nerves, I noticed he was holding a cup containing a mysterious substance. The substance appeared to be clear, just like boiled water. But I knew this was not going to be an ordinary day, so how could it be just an ordinary cup of boiled water?}Because he was already hitched yet was still aiming for Professor Song, all my previous knowledge of his prior gentle and refined nature had been smashed to smithereens! Forcing an involuntary bout of regret on my part. I should've figured this out earlier. Could the man able to suppress my great martial art skills with his taekwondo really turn out to be an ordinary and harmless person? So now that this disgraceful matter of his was discovered by me, I shouldn't have been shocked at all, this was only to be expected.

I snapped my head back to look at him, When did he get back! While I was racked with nerves, I noticed he was holding a cup containing a mysterious substance. The substance appeared to be clear, just like boiled water. But I knew this was not going to be an ordinary day, so how could it be just an ordinary cup of boiled water?

_{I was afraid I would let something slip another time so I quickly explained: "No, it's actually hypoglycaemia, you know, low blood sugar. Qiao Damai mistakenly thought anaemia was hypoglycaemia."}To which Xiao Huaisu kept staring at me, and staring at me, and staring at me. He stared at me so devotedly that it made me think he had fallen in love with me.

I was afraid I would let something slip another time so I quickly explained: "No, it's actually hypoglycaemia, you know, low blood sugar. Qiao Damai mistakenly thought anaemia was hypoglycaemia."

_{"Sure. Then how about we have a chat about that beast incident earlier?"}
Seeing that I haven't said a word, he walked over to the sofa, sat down, then placed the cup on a nearby coffee table. Still at the entrance, I straightened up my body, my mind was still a bit muddled, so I was unable to keep up with his line of thinking, forcing me to further ask: "Why did you bring glucose..."

"Sure. Then how about we have a chat about that beast incident earlier?"

_{I mumbled while taking the chocolates handed to me: "You don't even like sweet things, so why'd you buy chocolates?"}
"Didn't you say you were anaemic? I thought I had to give you glucose just after you woke up." Right as he explained it all to me carefully, he also had on a look that said: I already know everything, and I'm just going along with you.

I mumbled while taking the chocolates handed to me: "You don't even like sweet things, so why'd you buy chocolates?"

_{To which Xiao Huaisu kept staring at me, and staring at me, and staring at me. He stared at me so devotedly that it made me think he had fallen in love with me.}Just as I escaped from Xiao Huaisu's, I made the decision to go find Professor Song and tell her Xiao Huaisu was not a good man.

To which Xiao Huaisu kept staring at me, and staring at me, and staring at me. He stared at me so devotedly that it made me think he had fallen in love with me.

_{After she left, Xiao Huaisu stood in place, while the still being held me continued pretending to be unconscious and didn't move a muscle for a long time. The more he didn't move, the more nervous I grew, this staying still act of his forcing me to ask myself: Was I found out? Along with making me hesitate about whether I should just wake up and tell him I was alright.}
At a time like this, how could I lose?

After she left, Xiao Huaisu stood in place, while the still being held me continued pretending to be unconscious and didn't move a muscle for a long time. The more he didn't move, the more nervous I grew, this staying still act of his forcing me to ask myself: Was I found out? Along with making me hesitate about whether I should just wake up and tell him I was alright.

_{Closing the magazine, he gave me a shallow smile, and I couldn't help but tremble.}After I said that, he slowly raised his gaze towards me, making me realize that phrase could have several meanings so I hurriedly explained: "You lived overseas for a while so you wouldn't know that people here normally refer to going to the 'seashell', as going to the sea. Going to the sea just means heading to the sea or beach to have fun normally—there's a sea in seashell, isn't there? So it's not what you're thinking, okay?"

Closing the magazine, he gave me a shallow smile, and I couldn't help but tremble.

_{But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!}
So I immediately gave a Chow SingsingT/N: Steven Chow, known for his comedic performances^[1] styled counterattack. Holding my head as if it were weak, I walked over and sat in the armchair beside him, then said: "My head still feels a bit fuzzy. I thought I was already better. Ugh... I really fooled myself into thinking I was that strong, it seems. Thank you for this. " I reached out and picked up the glucose filled cup, downing it in one gulp, all the while thinking: Damn, how the heck can I be such a cool guy, huh? Each and every act was performed naturally and smooth to perfection. Not one trace of awkwardness could be seen, and not to be a show-off or anything, but right now, I could probably act together with Chow FafaT/N: Chow Yun-fat, known for dark, sombre portrayals^[2] and not get stage fright at all.

But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!

_{Did he perhaps...}
Xiao Huaisu seemed to be in a very good mood. He was all smiles as he looked straight at me and said: "You know, I've been waiting for you to send back my clothes."

Did he perhaps...

_{I proceeded to look at him suspiciously, then said: "I thought you thought I said you went overseas to become a male-prostitute..."}"Yes?" His eyes looked confused.

I proceeded to look at him suspiciously, then said: "I thought you thought I said you went overseas to become a male-prostitute..."

_{{But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!}}Anyway, I then mustered up some courage, put on a demeanour of outrage, then continued to spout a load of bullcrap: "Here's what really went on. Qiao Damai had been chatting with this girl online and confessed that he liked her after a while. The girl had taken him seriously, but later, Qiao Damai fessed up that he was just playing with her, and because of that the girl fell ill. When he was done relaying all this to me, I was pissed. I really wanted to say he was beast! But right at that exact moment, he said he saw you and Professor Song, and my words got all twisted up. So because I was thinking about you, my mouth just vomited up everything I wanted to say without even thinking it through. So when I had said you were a beast, it was actually me trying to say Qiao Damai was a beast. So that's what happened. It was all just a big ol' misunderstanding, you know—an accident."

But I haven't even experienced being in a relationship as yet! So how can I suffer those days with a fate fate worse than death?!

_{Go looking for tools?! Was he planning on ruthlessly killing me to stop me from spilling the beans and in order to shut me up for good?! That's how things always turned out in the movies! Plus, isn't it said that the average case of assaults are mostly committed by familiar acquaintances? So the more I thought about it, the more freaked out I got.}
I placed the empty cup back on the table. Hearing what he said, I immediately remembered him being married yet still trying to pick up a single woman, causing a pang of pain to resound in my heart. My perfect Huaisu-ge, how oh how did you fall into such a state? My Mr. Perfect turning into Mr. Scum was a sad reality to bear. So pretending I had remembered something else, I replied: "Oh, sorry, my bad. I've just been really busy lately so it slipped my mind. I promise I'll drop them off to you tomorrow, alright?"

_{Blatantly, with not one ounce of respect for the law in his eyes, he replied with utmost clarity: "Drugs^[medicine]—" that word was all I needed to hear to make me filled to the brim with alarm.}N/A

Blatantly, with not one ounce of respect for the law in his eyes, he replied with utmost clarity: "Drugs^[medicine]—" that word was all I needed to hear to make me filled to the brim with alarm.

_{If this is the case, HE TRULY IS A BEAST!!!}
"Sure. Then how about we have a chat about that beast incident earlier?"

If this is the case, HE TRULY IS A BEAST!!!

_{He then asked: "And what exactly could I be thinking?"}
I stared at him blankly, while he also stared at me, and stared at me, and stared at me... he kept staring at me until I finally recovered my memories. Of course me remembering does not necessarily mean I have to admit that I had called him a beast. What would become of my clever self if I did?

He then asked: "And what exactly could I be thinking?"

_{"Oh, so that's how it is. I actually thought I had done something to you that warranted an apology."}Did he perhaps...

_{Which immediately made me super pissed! I wanted to say: Do you think I'm some weak-looking skinny little chick with you? But afterwards I remembered that Xiao Huaisu was still somewhat taller than me so I was discouraged. I then recalled that a long time ago, when I had gone over to his family's house for tutoring, there was a time when he had just come out of the shower wearing only a pair of sweatpants.}
So of course I'm going to scam him!

Which immediately made me super pissed! I wanted to say: Do you think I'm some weak-looking skinny little chick with you? But afterwards I remembered that Xiao Huaisu was still somewhat taller than me so I was discouraged. I then recalled that a long time ago, when I had gone over to his family's house for tutoring, there was a time when he had just come out of the shower wearing only a pair of sweatpants. His upper body was left bare while he had walked out drying his hair. That sturdy, slender figure of his had not one ounce of excess flab. That V-line of his, those abs... they all made me jealous to the extreme! Usually he had worn nothing but tailored clothing, so I wrongly thought he was just some skinny weakling, never expecting he had actually looked like that. Thus, if that was how he was back then, the situation now couldn't be much different, right? What's more, he had always bee a man with great self-control.

_{Xiao Huaisu seemed to be in a very good mood. He was all smiles as he looked straight at me and said: "You know, I've been waiting for you to send back my clothes."}
Therefore, with a straight face, I said: "Professor, you must've heard me wrong. What I actually said was that he, Qiao Damai, was a beast."

_{Was I really overthinking things? I let out a dry laugh, trying to compensate by adding: "Professor, how could you think I said that you became a prostitute? Hahahahaha..}Just as I escaped from Xiao Huaisu's, I made the decision to go find Professor Song and tell her Xiao Huaisu was not a good man.

Was I really overthinking things? I let out a dry laugh, trying to compensate by adding: "Professor, how could you think I said that you became a prostitute? Hahahahaha... That's impossible, right? I was just overthinking, you know! Haha... Professor Xiao being a prostitute? Haha...ha." What do I do? What do I do... It's like the more I speak, the more messed up everything I say gets... The more I try to correct it, the more it all gets smudged up!

_{I snapped my head back to look at him, When did he get back! While I was racked with nerves, I noticed he was holding a cup containing a mysterious substance.

_{Seashell? Then his meaning dawned on me. "Oh, Professor Xiao went to the seaT/N: it can also mean he went into prostitution."}

He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"

_{That beautiful lady is being deceived}
Just as I was finished explaining, he suddenly reached over to grab two boxes of chocolate from under the table, giving them to me as he casually said in a light voice: "I brought these back from my last business trip. So to keep you from fainting again once you walk out the door, one's for you and the other is for Youyou."

_{To which I replied simply: "Yes. I was thinking so seriously, I called you by accident."}
But after asking it, I remembered again that Qiao Damai said Xiao Huaisu was going after Professor Song, and even further recalling him saying that she liked eating chocolate—he even told me which brand. So peering down at the box in my hand, I noticed however it wasn't the same brand that guy had mentioned she liked.

To which I replied simply: "Yes. I was thinking so seriously, I called you by accident."

_{My rational mind protested: {How could the filthy hands belonging to that beast hold this pure body of mine?}}I snapped my head back to look at him, When did he get back!

_{Anyway, I then mustered up some courage, put on a demeanour of outrage, then continued to spout a load of bullcrap: "Here's what really went on. Qiao Damai had been chatting with this girl online and confessed that he liked her after a while.}
An explosion of gloominess still filled me though, as while holding the box in my hand, I thought: He's trying to get with Professor Song, so he must've bought some boxes of this stuff wholesale. This way, while he planed on sending some to Professor Song, he can just conveniently give a box each to both Li You and me, right?

Anyway, I then mustered up some courage, put on a demeanour of outrage, then continued to spout a load of bullcrap: "Here's what really went on. Qiao Damai had been chatting with this girl online and confessed that he liked her after a while. The girl had taken him seriously, but later, Qiao Damai fessed up that he was just playing with her, and because of that the girl fell ill. When he was done relaying all this to me, I was pissed. I really wanted to say he was beast! But right at that exact moment, he said he saw you and Professor Song, and my words got all twisted up. So because I was thinking about you, my mouth just vomited up everything I wanted to say without even thinking it through. So when I had said you were a beast, it was actually me trying to say Qiao Damai was a beast. So that's what happened. It was all just a big ol' misunderstanding, you know—an accident."

_{Therefore, with a straight face, I said: "Professor, you must've heard me wrong. What I actually said was that he, Qiao Damai, was a beast."}Setting me down on the sofa, he turned and left the room. So after making sure he was no where in sight, I stealthily opened my eyes then lifted my head to see what he was up to. Unfortunately, I was not too familiar with the layout of his apartment. The bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and study, were the only places I knew. But he didn't go to an of these places though, so where the heck was he!

Therefore, with a straight face, I said: "Professor, you must've heard me wrong. What I actually said was that he, Qiao Damai, was a beast."

_{Because he was already hitched yet was still aiming for Professor Song, all my previous knowledge of his prior gentle and refined nature had been smashed to smithereens! Forcing an involuntary bout of regret on my part. I should've figured this out earlier.}To which I replied simply: "Yes. I was thinking so seriously, I called you by accident."

Because he was already hitched yet was still aiming for Professor Song, all my previous knowledge of his prior gentle and refined nature had been smashed to smithereens! Forcing an involuntary bout of regret on my part. I should've figured this out earlier. Could the man able to suppress my great martial art skills with his taekwondo really turn out to be an ordinary and harmless person? So now that this disgraceful matter of his was discovered by me, I shouldn't have been shocked at all, this was only to be expected.

_{Seeing that I haven't said a word, he walked over to the sofa, sat down, then placed the cup on a nearby coffee table. Still at the entrance, I straightened up my body, my mind was still a bit muddled, so I was unable to keep up with his line of thinking, forcing me to further ask: "Why did you bring glucose..."}
At first I wanted to muster the courage to refuse, but for some reason, despite him giving them to me off-handedly, he was staring me down, as if to say: if you dare refuse, you will not walk out that door today.

Seeing that I haven't said a word, he walked over to the sofa, sat down, then placed the cup on a nearby coffee table. Still at the entrance, I straightened up my body, my mind was still a bit muddled, so I was unable to keep up with his line of thinking, forcing me to further ask: "Why did you bring glucose..."

_{That beautiful lady is being deceived}Realising time was of the essence, I flipped myself off the sofa, pulling off a nimble forward roll and tumbled my way to the entrance. The beams of light beyond the entryway entering just as I opened the door, made my heart thump with joy.

That beautiful lady is being deceived

_{Was I really overthinking things? I let out a dry laugh, trying to compensate by adding: "Professor, how could you think I said that you became a prostitute? Hahahahaha..}
Thus, in order to leave this place smoothly, I spinelessly accepted the chocolates. Still under his sharp gaze, I even opened a box and ate a piece, forcing on a smile as I praised: "It's delicious."

Was I really overthinking things? I let out a dry laugh, trying to compensate by adding: "Professor, how could you think I said that you became a prostitute? Hahahahaha... That's impossible, right? I was just overthinking, you know! Haha... Professor Xiao being a prostitute? Haha...ha." What do I do? What do I do... It's like the more I speak, the more messed up everything I say gets... The more I try to correct it, the more it all gets smudged up!

_{"Would you like me to help?" I heard the sweet sounding voice of Professor Song chime in from behind Xiao Huaisu. Dear Professor Song, open your eyes and look carefully at the man beside you, he's nothing but a shameless hypocrite.}
His gaze finally left me, allowing me to breathe a sigh of relief. Having heard me say what I said, he leisurely opened up a magazine and flipped through it, his tone light as he said: "In your eyes, what isn't delicious."

"Would you like me to help?" I heard the sweet sounding voice of Professor Song chime in from behind Xiao Huaisu. Dear Professor Song, open your eyes and look carefully at the man beside you, he's nothing but a shameless hypocrite.

_{So of course I'm going to scam him!}Meaning, this sneaky method of his was not going to work. For someone as clever as myself, why did he think a sentence like that would make me jump up in anger? If was to be any sort of leaping, it would only happen in my heart... Even though me jumping up almost happening was kind of true.

So of course I'm going to scam him!

_{Setting me down on the sofa, he turned and left the room. So after making sure he was no where in sight, I stealthily opened my eyes then lifted my head to see what he was up to. Unfortunately, I was not too familiar with the layout of his apartment. The bathroom, bedroom, kitchen and study, were the only places I knew. But he didn't go to an of these places though, so where the heck was he!}
I carefully looked over his expressionless expression, unable to shake the feeling he had said those words... to look down on me, maybe? But seeing his face, I also felt as though I was overthinking things.

_{"No, of course not!" But I did do something to you that warrants me giving an apology to you though. I went and gave birth to your kid behind your back. Even though it happened accidentality, to me, it was more of a pleasant surprise.}"Would you like me to help?" I heard the sweet sounding voice of Professor Song chime in from behind Xiao Huaisu.

_{Swallowing a couple gulps of my own saliva, I calmly asked: "What do you have there?"}
As I sat there chewing on some chocolate, I thought things over. Before when he had no time to ask me for the clothes, was it because he went on a business trip?

Swallowing a couple gulps of my own saliva, I calmly asked: "What do you have there?"

_{He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"}"Yes?" His eyes looked confused.

He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"

Curious, I asked: "You went on a business trip earlier? Where did you go?"

_{He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"}Upon hearing my response, Xiao Huaisu's brows visibly relaxed. His entire body was now leaning back into the sofa, his mood apparently rather good. So when I saw him smile, I too let out a silly giggle.

He then asked me: "Are you anaemic?"

_{I stared at him blankly, while he also stared at me, and stared at me, and stared at me... he kept staring at me until I finally recovered my memories. Of course me remembering does not necessarily mean I have to admit that I had called him a beast. What would become of my clever self if I did?}
"Seashell."

I stared at him blankly, while he also stared at me, and stared at me, and stared at me... he kept staring at me until I finally recovered my memories. Of course me remembering does not necessarily mean I have to admit that I had called him a beast. What would become of my clever self if I did?

_{Raising his brows curiously, he replied: "Glucose..."}
Seashell? Then his meaning dawned on me. "Oh, Professor Xiao went to the seaT/N: it can also mean he went into prostitution^[3]."

Raising his brows curiously, he replied: "Glucose..."

Closing the magazine, he gave me a shallow smile, and I couldn't help but tremble.

_{{If this is the case, HE TRULY IS A BEAST!!!}}Seeing him like this, made me wonder: Am I overthinking it?

If this is the case, HE TRULY IS A BEAST!!!

_{Therefore, with a straight face, I said: "Professor, you must've heard me wrong. What I actually said was that he, Qiao Damai, was a beast."}
He then asked: "And what exactly could I be thinking?"

"Yes?" His eyes looked confused.

Of all things, he then asked: "You were thinking about me?"

_{Now be honest with me, if the person you've been pining away for in secret for many many years held you in a princess carry, how would you feel? So right then, my entire body was tingling, and I had no control over it whatsoever! I knew he was scum, I knew he was a beast, yet I had no control over the weakened state my limbs fell into, nor over my heart which beat at a quickened pace.

I really fooled myself into thinking I was that strong, it seems. Thank you for this. " I reached out and picked up the glucose filled cup, downing it in one gulp, all the while thinking: Damn, how the heck can I be such a cool guy, huh?

I can handle this guy on my own, so you can go on ahead." Because of this I thought very seriously about what his intentions may be, and came to the conclusion it must surely be that he was afraid I would expose the fact of him being married, which is why he was in a rush to chase Professor Song away. Oh poor Professor Song, it seems she will continue to be left in the dark. Sadly, there was nothing I could for that beautiful woman at the moment.
