Five years ago, Gossip Weekly exposed a photo of Zhou Qiang kissing a man on the street, which greatly affected his image. The Zhou family was thrown into chaos, and Zhou Wenguang was so furious that he ended up in the hospital. I found Zhou Qiang and told him I could help him cover it up. Zhou Qiang initially refused. He said, "Xu Jing, I can't put you in danger." I replied, "I want to."
"But I am..."
"I don't care," I said firmly. "Zhou Qiang, I'm willing to do anything for you."
"Why?"
"Because you saved me."
I will always remember that evening thirteen years ago when Zhou Qiang rescued me. A human trafficker drugged me and sent me to the bed of a stranger. That man tormented me mercilessly and then locked me away. I felt like a dog without dignity, tortured for three whole days before being thrown onto the street.
I walked down the road in disheveled clothes, and passersby cast scornful glances at me. I covered my face, feeling as if I wanted to die. It was Zhou Qiang who saved me. He gave me a bank card and encouraged me to live well. Later, when I got accepted into university but had no money for tuition, Zhou Qiang appeared again. He helped pay my tuition and got me into college. Zhou Qiang is my benefactor.
I see him as my deity.
So, when he encountered troubles, I stepped forward without hesitation.
I said, "Zhou Qiang, I am willing to marry you."
"Xu Jing, have you thought this through?" Zhou Qiang looked at me, "I... I like men."
"I don't care," I said firmly, "As long as I can help you, I'm willing to do anything."
Zhou Qiang hesitated for a long time but ultimately agreed.
Little did he know, his agreement would plunge me into hell.
After tidying myself up in the bathroom, I went to the bedroom.
Zhou Qi was leaning against the bed smoking; he had put on his underwear, but his pants zipper was undone.
I knew he was deliberately humiliating me.
But I acted as if nothing was wrong.
I calmly said, "Let's go home."
Zhou Qi was surprised that I didn't cry or make a scene.
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "Xu Jing, if the Zhou family knew that their young mistress and I were involved, wouldn't that add another scandal to the Zhou family?"
"Zhou Qi, are you happy?"
"What?" Zhou Qi asked in confusion.
"After everything you've done, are you feeling a bit happier?"
Zhou Qi paused for a moment and suddenly burst into laughter: "Xu Jing, are you really silly or just foolish?"
"It doesn't matter," I said softly, "Zhou Qi, whenever you're unhappy, you can come find me."
"Xu Jing, you're really pathetic," Zhou Qi said harshly. "Xu Jing, with how you're protecting Zhou Qiang, do you have some dirt on him?"
"Now, my leverage is in your hands," I whispered. "Zhou Qi, I ask for nothing else but that when you're unhappy, don't go looking for Zhou Qiang; come find me instead, okay?"
"Xu Jing, is it worth it to protect Zhou Qiang like this?"
"Zhou Qi, you don't understand."
"I don't understand," Zhou Qi scoffed. "Xu Jing, are you afraid he won't want you anymore?"
“Zhou Qi, you should just stay out of this.” I sighed, “I will repay the Zhou family for what they owe you, piece by piece.”
“Xu Jing, the way you protect Zhou Qiang, could it be that…” Zhou Qi paused, “you’ve fallen in love with him?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Xu Jing, you really are something.” Zhou Qi said disdainfully, “But even if you protect Zhou Qiang like this, he may not appreciate it.”
“I don’t need his appreciation.” I replied calmly, “Zhou Qi, I just need you to leave him alone.”
“Why should I let him go?” Zhou Qi retorted, “Xu Jing, give me a reason not to hurt him.”
“Whenever you’re unhappy, you take it out on me.” I looked steadily at Zhou Qi, “Zhou Qi, as long as you’re happy, I’m willing to do anything.”
“Really?” Zhou Qi narrowed his eyes, “Xu Jing, are you willing to pay the price for your actions just now?”
“I am.”
“Even if I might drive you to your death?”
“I am.”
“Why?” Zhou Qi asked in confusion, “Xu Jing, you could completely ignore me. Why…”
“Zhou Qi, don’t ask so much.” I leaned closer to Zhou Qi and gently kissed his lips.
Zhou Qi was taken aback and instinctively pulled away.
“Xu Jing, I’m not a trash can; I won’t accept just anything.”
“Zhou Qi, you’re overthinking it.” I said lightly, “Don’t worry; I will take care of everything.”
Zhou Qi was stunned again.
I got up and went to the bathroom.
When I returned from the bathroom, Zhou Qi was leaning against the headboard smoking.
With a cigarette in his mouth and his head down fiddling with his phone, he looked utterly bored.
He was clearly smoking, yet I felt completely calm inside.
I lay down beside him and calmly said, “Zhou Qi, if you’re unhappy, feel free to find me anytime.”
“Xu Jing, you really are…” Zhou Qi gritted his teeth, “pathetic!”
