Generally speaking, when facing their first girlfriend, a decent man would respectfully ask for her opinion about taking the final step. At this point, the girl would usually agree shyly.
But this sudden clarity at the last mont made both Li Yan and Yu Xiaodi tremble in their hearts!
They both thought of soone, soone who had been talking with them not long ago and should still be driving on the road or just arriving at the hospital by now.
Zhang Yurong!
Thinking of Yurong, Li Yan was drenched in sweat. It was one thing to be unfaithful outside, which Yurong knew about, but doing it at ho was a whole different level of disrespect, similar to when he brazenly brought Xiao Di ho last ti.
Admittedly, he once had a close encounter with Yue Yao while on the sa bed as Yurong, but at that ti, his relationship with Yurong was not as deep as it is now. Since Yue Yao ca along, their relationship has rapidly evolved, achieving what could be described as a qualitative leap.
Moreover, today Yue Yao was still in the hospital, and Yurong was anxiously rushing to visit her there, while he was ho having an affair with another girl!
Is he being fair to Yurong?
Is he being fair to Yue Yao?
Earlier, he didn’t insist on sending Yurong away because he wanted to give that pack of underwear as a gift to Yu Xiaodi, and it was inconvenient to see Yue Yao in front of Yurong. That was a reason he could accept. But having a relationship with Xiao Di at ho after Yurong left was a reason he found hard to bear!
...
Similarly, in Yu Xiaodi’s mind, she also thought of Zhang Yurong.
Unlike Yue Yao, she hadn’t spent much ti with her, so she didn’t have much emotional connection with Zhang Yurong. But in their few brief etings, Yurong had left a deep impression on her. On the first eting, she had been captivated by Yurong’s perfection, and learning that she was Li Yan’s wife made it even more impactful. On the third morable occasion, which was the last ti she visited, Yurong had proposed a one-year agreent between them! In her view, that was entirely Yurong accommodating her, considering her rightful position as the wife, showing great grace towards her, the mistress.
So, in her heart, she never bore any malice toward Zhang Yurong. Even upon learning about their status, any feelings were ones of jealousy, despair, and resentnt, rather than seeing Yurong as a bad woman. On the contrary, she felt Zhang Yurong was too perfect, mismatched with the easygoing Li Yan, which was the key to their marital crisis.
The last ti when Zhang Yurong asked her to trick Li Yan into getting a health check-up, and this ti when Li Yan went without contact for many days and Yurong took the initiative to reach out, it made Xiao Di understand that maybe Yurong’s strong personality and excellence put imnse pressure on Li Yan, but fundantally, she still cared for him like any wife would. Being able to tolerate her, this mistress, and compete peacefully already surpassed the level of an ordinary wife.
Facing such a rival, Xiao Di felt both afraid and respectful. She had agreed to fair competition, promising not to engage with Li Yan within a year, yet now she couldn’t resist, making her feel ashad of herself!
Moreover, just now, it was inconvenient for her to enter, and she was wandering outside when Zhang Yurong saw her and imdiately let her in. After Li Yan returned, she knew it would give them a chance to be alone, yet she still left single-handedly without taking Li Yan along, which showed great generosity and trust, yet they both couldn’t resist!
"I’m sorry!"
"I’m sorry..."
Almost simultaneously, after a mont of sudden clarity and self-reflection, they apologized in unison.
Li Yan looked at the mirror in front, and Xiao Di opened her eyes and looked forward too. Their gazes t through the mirror, both filled with a sense of sha and apology.
Between them, there wasn’t the sa silent understanding Li Yan had with Yue Yao developed over the years, but in this atmosphere, they were in the sa state of mind, thinking about the sa issues. Even the words they spoke and the expressions on their faces were identical. So after saying "I’m sorry" in unison, they could read each other’s anings through eye contact.
In an instant, their feelings of sha and apology turned into awkwardness, which then made them feel slightly amused.
As both of them broke into smiles, Li Yan felt a bit embarrassed.
Yu Xiaodi quickly looked down to adjust her clothes, her face still burning, too shy to say anything.
Suddenly, Li Yan started laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Yu Xiaodi mumbled, breaking the awkward silence. "Do I look bad in this?"
Li Yan shook his head, continuing to laugh, "Not bad, you look very good, otherwise, I wouldn’t have lost control like that."
"Then what are you laughing at?" Yu Xiaodi looked at herself in the mirror, although her rationality had resud, facing him so closely still made her heart race.
"I just thought we looked funny just now, fumbling around and quietly fixing our clothes, like..."
"Like what?"
"Like a couple of sneaky lovers..." Li Yan chuckled.
"Pfft! You’re the sneaky lovers!" Xiao Di felt speechless, who describes themselves like that?
"Then, maybe like a pair of adulterers caught in the act."
Is an outdoor tryst classier than a sneaky kiss? Are adulterers better than sneaky lovers? Yu Xiaodi pretended to kick him.
Li Yan was actually just joking to lighten the mood, to avoid leaving a psychological shadow that would create obstacles in the future. But after saying that, he felt the description was inappropriate. Normally, if it were a regular couple, joking with terms like sneaky lovers or adulterers wouldn’t be too big of an issue, as long as the girl could accept it, but for their relationship...
