Thank you for all those who rated this novel on NU. My heart feels so happy to see the 4.0 rating. I am sorry for the irregular updates but life is a bit challenging. I’m having problems  with my new job and new boss, so even when I do have free time, I tend to brood and not translate  

“Tired?” Ye Zhengchen asked me.

“……” “…”

I was too lazy to reply back

“ Why are you troubling yourself? Just find a good man who will take care of you.”

“ I am already looking for someone”

I opened my eyes and looked at him. His face was very close to mine, He had sharp features and there was always a solemn expression on his face. But my favourite part was his eyes. They closed halfway when he was confused, when he was smiling or whenever he was in deep thought

Overall he was a very handsome person, and his looks charmed me the more I looked at him

My eyes locked into his eyes and suddenly I felt shy. I quickly turned my face to the front.

“ Li Kai is taking me out to sing Karaoke next week..”

“ Him? He cant even feed himself, how will he take care of you ?”

“ Then what about the brother downstairs? He is quite good natured..”

“ How can you be so blind? He is seven years older than me and looks also quite a bit old. When you see the crows feet around his eyes, you will be reminded of your own father”

I pressed my lips. I had to admit he was right

“ Then who do you think will be right for me?”

Ye Zhengchen smiled, revealing neat white teeth

His smile was very “pure” and “ positive”. “ How about you consider me?”

I looked at him angrily

“ Even the people in Mars know that you change women as fast as possible. I am an innocent girl, I wont be able to withstand the ruthless destruction of a playboy.”

“ That’s just baseless prejudice against me”

I sneered. “ Even Qin Xue’s opinion is baseless prejudice?”

“Shit!” Hearing Qin Xue’s name, he muttered incomprehensibly to himself and then cursed again, “ Shit!”

“ I didn’t have anything going on with her”

“ Really ?”

“ In short, I have never even put a finger on her.”

“ Ha!”

A playboy and a beauty spent a fortnight in Hokkaido and he never even put a finger on her! I wouldn’t believe that even if I were thinking with my toes!

I didn’t want to argue with him. I had a headache. I looked out of the window, while cradling my forehead in my hands.

The car was passing through a quiet little street lined with small villas. Every family had planted flowers in the front of their houses.

It was early spring and all kinds of flowers were blooming together, creating a rich fragrance

Recently, as I walked down this road to go home, I was yearning more and more for such a home. One that was far away from the city’s hustle bustle.

The bright yellow light spilled out through the curtained windows.Unfortunately, this house was too expensive, I could never buy one for myself!

At the corner of the street, he parked the car. Bending over, he lightly massaged my temples

His professors should be very proud of him. His technique was so good! My taut nerves relaxed under his expert ministrations.

I stretched out lazily like a cat to ward the tiredness from my body.

“ Thank you!”

His hand slowly moved down, he lightly massaged my nape, my shoulder blades, my back..

Even though I knew he was taking advantage of me,I still yearned for his touch.

In the guise of giving me a massage, his hand was gradually exploring my body

“Girl, let me take care of you”

“You have been taking care of me already.” Why else would he be passing by the convenience store at midnight? I understood the way his mind worked, but he never understood my mind..

He stretched out his arms to embrace me. He leaned closer so his lips were near my ear.” Don’t believe in what others tell you. Believe in your own feelings.”

The moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves. The car lights of the expensive sports car created two ice blue beams piercing the darkness of the night. Next to me , there was a handsome man being gentle and tender towards me. All of this together created a lovely mood.It would be ideal in this situation to lean into his arms and ask shyly, “ Will you promise to love me for the rest of my life?”

But  I knew what his style was

I glared at him, fiercely pushed against him, “ I feel as if you are like a starving beast. You will eat me clean and then abandon me in the wilderness.”

He was so angry he gnashed his teeth, “ You should get your head examined”

“ I will take your advice, Dr Ye.”

“ Its quite late already, let’s go back”

In this late hour, being alone with him on a lonely street was not the wisest choice for me!

…… …

He parked the car downstairs and we went upstairs together

As he watched me walk towards my flat and open the door, he still hadnt abandoned his evil intentions. In a false sincere voice, he told me , “ Please help me reheat the chicken wings”

“ Heat it up yourself!”

“My microwave is not working.”

“ “Then use the oven.”

“It’s not working either!”

I would never believe in a million years that he was surviving without a working microwave or oven for so long.

But as I looked at his hopeful and sincere expression, I decided on a conciliatory approach, “ Come in.”

And so I invited the wolf into my home

Once inside, he opened my laptop, skilfully entered the password and put on some music I had previously downloaded – the sensuous and sultry kind

I turned it off immediately and put on one of Jay Chou’s songs

The mood immediately shifted with the deafening music

“ Eat quickly”, I told him , “I’m off to bed!”

While I served him the chicken wings, he changed the music back. He sat back leisurely on the bed, opened a can of beer and waited for the food.

As I glared at him, he smiled.

“ Ye Zhengchen, if you think that you can wear out my resistance with time,you are wrong. Even if you wait till dawn, it is impossible  to get any opportunity of doing something here.”

He opened a can of beer and handed it to me

“If I wanted to do that, I could have done so many months ago. I wouldn’t have waited for so long.”

“ I have a low tolerance for alcohol. I get drunk easily.”

His eyes glittered as he heard me say this

I could guess the direction his thoughts were taking.

“ I dont want to drink”

“Sit with me for while”, he pointed to the seat next to him, and then pulled out his trump card, “ I’m going back home tomorrow.”

“What?” I thought I had misheard him and asked again,” what did you say?”

“ I need to go back home for a while from tomorrow”

“ What is so urgent?” I asked him

“ Some family issues”, he answered me briefly , clearly indicating he didn’t want to talk about it

From tomorrow, I no longer needed to worry about how I would protect myself from this playboy. I should be happy, shouldn’t I ?

But all I felt was a curiously empty sensation in my heart, as if I had been suddenly left twisting in the wind with no support

“When do you plan to come back?” At this point, my brain was only focussed on this one issue

“ Maybe a fortnight later. This time my phone will not work, so please don’t call me.”

“ Oh!” I sat down on the bed with my back to the bedstead.

The music was really very sensuous, every note was a trick to move a weak soul..

I was turning sentimental. “ Do you really like me ?”

He looked up as he sipped his beer, “ Yes!”

“ What do you like about me ?”

“You’re pretty!”

I smiled wryly, Atleast he wasn’t a hypocrite trying to woo me with sweet words. He wasn’t even pretending to be a nice man and say stuff like I was a good woman or a virtuous one!

“ I like to see you when you are focussing on something seriously. Like when you are cooking, or when you are working in the laboratory. At that time, your appearance is even more lovely!”

I am sure you would like even better my appearance as I take off my clothes!

In my heart, I added these words silently so I wouldn’t lose focus.

Otherwise I was afraid my brain would be dominated by my heart

As he looked at me, his eyes reflected some strange, unfathomable emotion..

I accidentally picked up his beer and sipped a mouthful. A drop trickled down the side of my mouth. He leaned forward and gently wiped it with one finger.

As his fingertip touched my lips, I have to admit , I felt a surge of emotions..

I blocked his hand, intending to distance myself from him. But this time he acted uncharacteristically and instead of allowing me to move away, he hugged me

My mind short circuited. Like an idiot , I asked him, “ What are you trying to do?

“ To prevent someone stealing you while I am away, I have decided to cook the rice”

(Miumiu : “ Cooking rice”  is something akin to ‘doing the deed’, if you know what I mean *winks*)

I pointed to the rice cooker, ‘ The cooker is there”

He shook his head, and with his hands, he caught my wrists and pulled me closer, “ So today I am going to cook your rice. Then after that, I don’t have to worry when you are on your own. And for the rest of my life, I will never need to worry about what to eat, or drink, or who will sleep by my side..”

This playboy didn’t have to be so honest in his speech! I wanted to crawl to a corner and die.

“ You wouldn’t need to worry about what to eat in jail either. “

But I didn’t threaten him too strongly so he didn’t mind

“ Dont worry. I am not going to force you. I will seduce you so you are willing..”

Seeing his lips slowly moving closer to me , I flinched, so that his lips touched my ear

I felt something like an electric shock run through my body

His gentle lips moved from my ears to my neck and then my jaw

I tried to move away, but he seemed to have lots of practice and all my efforts to free myself were in vain

If this was ‘not forcing you “ then what was this?

His lips gently sucked my lips and I could taste and smell the coffee flavoured beer

I trembled , and an intense feeling surged in my body

“Don’t”, I don’t know if I never had the opportunity to say that word or if I never intended to say it in the first place

As our lips touched. my soul was sucked away and my body fell into an endless abyss of strange sensations I had never experienced before..

Miumiu : Will they do it ? or not ? * translator smiles evil smile*
