Chapter 46

Zhou Ya looked at the ceiling with a disappointed face. Although Xie Fei’s once-a-night performance was far from as impressive as that of Lu Xin, his neighbor, it was still barely satisfactory. Now, however, he was completely unable to perform. Could it really be that his hemorrhoids were seriously affecting his sexual ability? But hemorrhoids were just a problem with the anus. She had heard that gay men with hemorrhoids couldn’t take it, but she hadn’t heard that normal men with hemorrhoids would be affected in that way.

She was thinking about a very serious issue. Xie Fei was only twenty-three, and if things were going to be like this forever, how could she, a woman with a high sexual appetite, possibly endure it?

Zhou Ya thought about breaking up with Xie Fei. This thought lingered in her mind for a while but was quickly dismissed. She remembered the reason she had started dating Xie Fei: he was the nephew of Xie Changrong, the vice president of the group, and she wanted to use this connection to climb higher in Sanjiang Group, from a small financial officer in a division to the group’s financial director. She couldn’t break up with Xie Fei until she achieved that goal.

"It’s okay, maybe you’re just too tired from work. This trip back home will be a good chance to rest. When you come back, you’ll be as strong as before!" Zhou Ya acted very understanding, but inwardly she was secretly mocking him, thinking that Xie Fei had never been strong.

Xie Fei was deeply moved by Zhou Ya’s words: "Baby, thank you for your understanding. I will rest well and strive to return to my former state!"

Zhou Ya gently leaned against Xie Fei’s chest and said softly, "Honey, don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I believe you can do it. Let’s go to bed early!"

Xie Fei, exhausted from a day of折腾 (struggle), fell into a deep sleep.

But Zhou Ya kept her eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling. Her mind couldn’t help but drift back to what had happened in the first-floor restroom of the division that morning. Lu Xin’s strength had left a deep impression on her. Lu Xin, who looked like a weak, pale scholar, was surprisingly well-developed down there. Compared to Lu Xin, Xie Fei was too weak, all show and no substance.

She couldn’t help but think that if Lu Xin had Xie Fei’s family background, it would be perfect. She could take advantage of the gap left by his girlfriend’s departure to capture him.

But she quickly realized that this was just a fantasy. There was no such thing as a perfect person. Since she had chosen Xie Fei for his family background, she had to accept his weaknesses.

Despite this, Zhou Ya couldn’t help feeling resentful.

Meanwhile, Lu Xin watched as Xie Fei pulled the needle out of his buttocks and stormed angrily toward the dean’s office. He was delighted, knowing that his revenge had succeeded, and that Xie Fei might have become impotent like Li Li.

Lu Xin really enjoyed this method of revenge. Turning an enemy into an impotent person was more satisfying than simply killing them, and it allowed for even more cruel forms of revenge, like making the enemy wear a green hat.

Lu Xin decided that in the future, he would use this method to revenge against enemies who had beautiful wives or girlfriends.

Happiness is always fleeting, while pain is long-lasting. After his moment of joy, Lu Xin had to turn around and help Liu Jianhui change his external medicine, feed him internal medicine, and support the bedridden, fat Li Li to the restroom to urinate, almost taking care of their every need.

Liu Jianhui and Li Li looked at Lu Xin in shock. They had expected him to be frowning or looking deeply resentful, but instead, he had a sunny smile, as if he had never known that these two had harmed him, and as if he was happy to do such dirty work.

They exchanged glances, their eyes conveying the same thought: How could Lu Xin still smile?

Of course, Lu Xin could smile. Anyone facing two injured people they had caused, without those people knowing it was them, would feel a sense of intellectual superiority.

Liu Xinmeng wiped the tears from her face and looked at Lu Xin with admiration.

She knew that her husband, Li Li, had always harbored deep malice toward Lu Xin and had once attempted to harm him. She didn’t believe that Lu Xin, a college graduate, couldn’t see through Li Li’s malice. Despite this, Lu Xin still treated Li Li with kindness and care, despite his deep malice. This was a spirit that was truly admirable.

Lu Xin helped Li Li from the restroom to the bed and changed his external medicine. Liu Xinmeng fed Li Li his internal medicine, which had a sedative effect, and Li Li soon fell asleep.

Liu Xinmeng wanted to thank Lu Xin, but she saw that Liu Jianhui, who was still awake, was a very cunning person. If she whispered something to Lu Xin, he might tell Li Li. So she only gave Lu Xin a grateful look.

Liu Xinmeng had fine eyebrows, a straight nose, a small, red mouth, and a sharp chin, making her look very alluring. Her most alluring feature was her eyes, which were slightly longer than those of ordinary beauties. When she squinted and smiled, she looked especially alluring, almost like a legendary fox spirit.

When Lu Xin learned that a university campus beauty, known for her purity, had actually been a绿茶婊 (green tea bitch) who had dated four rich and handsome boyfriends and was now a simple and kind princess in the eyes of her new wealthy boyfriend, he understood even more that one should not judge a person by their appearance.

Perhaps Liu Xinmeng, who looked like a seductive fox spirit, was actually much cleaner than most pure-looking college girls. Stimulated by the appearance of the seemingly pure green tea bitch, Lu Xin found Liu Xinmeng, with her alluring appearance, much more appealing. Unlike other hypocritical men who would immediately label Liu Xinmeng as impure and unkind upon first sight, he returned her grateful look with a warm smile.

Lu Xin’s smile was very sincere, and Liu Xinmeng felt a warm feeling in her cold heart.

It was already late at night, and Liu Jianhui and Li Li, the two bastards, were deeply asleep due to the medication.

Perhaps because he had absorbed too much mysterious metal energy during the day, Lu Xin, who usually fell into a deep sleep at this time, couldn’t sleep. He found the smell of medicine in the room too strong, so he got up from the hospital-provided folding bed and walked out into the corridor, pacing back and forth, thinking about his future. Should he deal with the harm from Li Qiming, Liu Jianhui, and Li Li as it came, or should he take the initiative to plan and eliminate them early to rise to power? The answer was obviously the latter, but how should he plan?

As Lu Xin was pacing, Liu Xinmeng got up from another folding bed and walked out into the corridor, smiling at Lu Xin: "Can’t sleep either?"
