Back Then, I Adored You

The painful feeling made the muscles in Gu Yusheng’s back tighten. Out of reflex, he reached out to force her cheeks open and saved his tongue from her teeth.

The pain made him mad. Without thinking, he yelled at her, “Why are you biting my tongue? Why don’t you bite my pe…”

Before he could finish the last word, the sharp pain from his tongue made Gu Yusheng gasp. He realized how painful it was. He was definitely not dreaming.

Gu Yusheng frowned slightly and laid his eyes on the woman beneath him.

Her lips were kissed red and succulent, like a blooming flower. Her neck had hickeys everywhere, even teeth marks. Looking down, they were so close to each other. He woke up completely.

He had thought it was a dream, but it hadn’t been. When Gu Yusheng was thinking, Qin Zhi’ai, still underneath him, started to struggle to get out. Her movements aroused him. The desire in him started to become stronger. He couldn’t help moving a bit. She struggled crazily and waved her hands to grab him.

He was accidently scratched on his chest. He had been hurt by her twice. He was even angrier. He raised his hands in anger, grabbed her arms, and pressed them over her head. “What’s wrong with you?”

He looked into her eyes. The redness in them showed that she was going to cry or might have already. He wanted to yell at her, but he stopped himself.

She seemed to notice his quietness. She slowly stopped her struggles. She stared at him with tears welled in her eyes. He thought she would talk while crying, but she still spoke in a low and calm tone. “I’m tired tonight. I don’t want to have sex. Can you let me go?”

Gu Yusheng was shocked. The passion suddenly disappeared.

Seeing him unmoving, she asked again in a low pitch, “Can you?” Only when she said the last word did she finally lose control of her emotions.

The trembling wasn’t that noticeable, but it seemed to hurt Gu Yusheng. He tensed the corners of his mouth, but didn’t say anything. He pulled himself away from her and laid on the other side of the bed.

The room suddenly became very quiet.

Gu Yusheng stared at the roof, not feeling sleepy anymore.

She seemed different tonight. What happened to her? Or was she just not in a good mood? Gu Yusheng thought to himself.

Gu Yusheng subconsciously turned his head to Qin Zhi’ai to take a look at her. He wanted to ask her these questions. He moved his lips, but didn’t ask anything in the end. He quietly turned his head back and grabbed the cigarette pack on the end table. When he had just touched the package, he remembered she was next to him. He annoyedly tossed the cigarette back, and it fell on the nearby dresser, making a little noise.

Gu Yusheng turned his head around to take a look at Qin Zhi’ai. She laid sideways with her back facing him. She looked peaceful from the back, but the image of her crying popped into his head.

He had been in a good mood, but suddenly was annoyed. It felt like something had been stuffed in his chest, an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.
