Chapter 19 The Hand That Pushed
In front of the old walk-up, Xu Zichen kicked at the pebbles by his feet, waiting for me to come home late.
The instant I saw him, light came back to my eyes.
The tearing pain in my body eased a good deal.
I jogged up to him, face red, and asked what he wanted.
"I saw you go into that little hotel with Feng Si... Didn't you say you liked me? And then you booked a room with someone else?"
His look of disgust and those blunt words left me with nowhere to put my face.
The next second, Xu Zichen's thin lips parted, and he said words I would never forget.
"Since you'll sleep with anyone... why not sleep with me? I'll cover you."
If Feng Si had built an abyss for me.
Then Xu Zichen was the hand that pushed me down into it.
