She gradually got into the mood. Her body had stiffened from the pain, but she started to relax.

He slowly entered her body. He looked cold, but that coldness slowly disappeared as she got more into it.

The temperature in the room became higher while they continued their actions. Their breathing got heavier, too.

When they both felt in the moment, she reached her hands behind his neck. He didn’t like that the sofa was so small and thought he could have done better if it weren’t as small. He carried her to the bed by the waist without pulling out of her.

She hadn’t stripped all of her clothes off yet. Her clothes stopped him from feeling her body, so he made love to her while he unzipped her clothes. He was so excited that his fingers no longer seemed to be in his control. He tried a couple of times, but he couldn’t unzip it. He decided to use force to tear her clothes apart, then he tossed the pieces of fabric on the floor and laid himself on her to feel her smooth skin.

…

Qin Zhi’ai snuggled into Gu Yusheng’s arms, short of breath, after the sex. She looked as cozy as a cat and didn’t feel like moving at all.

There was an old saying that couples made up after fighting using sex. She had been upset when she had seen Gu Yusheng come home with a cold attitude. Such intimate sex made her annoyance disappear a bit.

She waited until some of her energy had returned to her, then she looked up at him.

Gu Yusheng watched the ceiling, lost in thought. No emotion was showing on his face, but his jaw was tight. He didn’t look happy.

Qin Zhi’ai bit her lips and asked slowly, “What’s wrong with you today?”

Gu Yusheng’s body stiffened. He shook his head and responded to her, “Nothing.”

Even a fool could tell that there’s something wrong with him, Qin Zhi’ai thought to herself. She asked, “What did you mean by that?”

Gu Yusheng didn’t respond to her this time. He clenched his jaw even more.

Qin Zhi’ai was worried. She asked him a question again after a while, “Did something upset you? Or was it me—”

Qin Zhi’ai wanted to ask, “Is it me that upset you?” However, Gu Yusheng interrupted her when she had only started to ask. “I’m a little tired. Let’s go to sleep.”

Qin Zhi’ai opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but Gu Yusheng suddenly moved his arms away from her shoulder. He turned so that his back was facing her.

The sweat from the sex suddenly felt cold on her skin. She had a blanket on her, but she still shivered from the low temperature.

Qin Zhi’ai watched his back and started to feel sad. It felt like a huge stone was pressing on her chest. She felt like she couldn’t breath.

She still wanted to ask him what was wrong, but she just couldn’t form words upon seeing him coldly face her with his back.

Actually, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to ask anyway.

It wasn’t her business what relationship Liang Doukou and him would have. So what if she asked that question as Qin Zhi’ai? He would be apart from her anyway. No one could change that situation.

Qin Zhi’ai looked sad. She bit her lips and slightly slid towards her own side of the bed to pull a small distance away from him. She turned her body so her back was facing him, as well.

It was so quiet in the bedroom. Clothes had been tossed everywhere on the floor, and it still reeked of sex in the room.

However, there seemed to be a distance between the two people who had just been intimate. They were on the same bed, but it seemed like there was a world between them.
