Lin Qian's ears slowly burned. Avoiding his burning, deep gaze, she said, "Mmm... I understand."

She owed him a favor.

It should be paid off.

The night was thick, as if boundless ink had been heavily staining the sky.

When Lin Qian got out of that luxury car, her hands were still trembling and aching terribly.

She wiped it with a tissue to make sure it was completely clean.

But inevitably, it still acquired Lu Beiting's unique aura, domineering and wild.

Lin Qian blushed as she recalled the scenes in the car.

In college, this person was just as awful, teaching her how to help him, and she gradually learned from being unfamiliar with it to becoming proficient.

Unexpectedly, three years later, Lu Beiting's endurance has improved significantly, and he is now even more composed and his emotions are difficult to discern.

Lin Qian did not go directly back to her apartment complex, but instead went to the hospital to visit Lin Yize.

At this time, Lin Yize had just finished surgery.

The VIP ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

Assistant Gao, standing beside him, explained, "The doctor said Mr. Lin has a mild concussion, but it's not a serious problem. He needs to be hospitalized for observation for half a month. Also, the wound on his forehead should be stitched up and shouldn't leave a scar."

After he finished speaking, he left the ward.

Lin Yize lay on the hospital bed with his head covered in white bandages, looking like a pitiful, wronged little dog.

He barely opened his eyes, his voice weak and feeble, "Sister..."

"How are you feeling now? Does your head hurt?" Lin Qian asked with concern as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

Lin Yize shook his head defiantly, "I'm much better now, don't tell my parents."

Seeing his sensible appearance, Lin Qian felt even more guilty, "Fang Ye is all because of me—"

"Sister, don't say anymore, don't blame yourself. We actually benefited from this misfortune. The bar manager gave me an extra 20,000 yuan. And for some reason, Fang Ye and his group also compensated me 100,000 yuan, all of which was transferred to me by that Assistant Gao just now."

Lin Yize grinned, "If getting beaten up could earn me this much money, I'd rather get beaten up every day, it wouldn't hurt at all!"

Lin Qian sat on the edge of the bed without saying a word, her nose tingling with a soreness.

How could it not hurt?

"By the way, sis, do you know the man who brought me to the hospital earlier?"

Lin Yize said, "I asked him why he helped me, and he said he was just following his boss's instructions."

Assistant Gao not only settled all the expenses for his surgery and VIP ward, but also ordered the most luxurious lunch and dinner, which were delivered to him every day.

Lin Yize was truly flattered and felt unworthy of such good treatment.

"Then remember to thank them for their help; they're such a kind person!"

"He really is a great person..." Lin Qian's smile became somewhat stiff.

As for thank you?

Of course, she would lie in bed and properly "thank" Lu Beiting...

-

Lin Qian had been living in constant fear these past few days, not knowing when Lu Beiting would suddenly summon her to "serve him in bed."

It's like having a sharp knife hanging above your neck, not falling for a long time.

It would be better to just give her a quick death.

On Friday afternoon, Lin Qian was working as a corporate slave as usual.

The phone buzzed and a message popped up.

Lu Beiting: [I'll pick you up at six tonight. Come on.]

Straightforward and concise, with not a single word wasted.

Lin Qian's heart skipped a beat, and with trembling fingers, she replied, "Received."

With three hours left before she could leave work, Lin Qian felt increasingly agonizing, each second feeling like an eternity.

I couldn't help but recall the sweltering summer of my junior year, when the cicadas' chirping echoed amidst the lush greenery and scorching heat.

At that time, Lin Qian couldn't swim and was very afraid of water.

Lu Beiting has a private villa next to the school, which not only has a movie theater but also a huge swimming pool.

"Baby, I'll teach you."

Lin Qian was in the private pool, both afraid of the water and afraid that Lu Beiting would bully her. "No... I have class tomorrow."

Lu Beiting bit her earlobe. "What class?"

"Elective course: Art Appreciation"

"When?"

"Afternoon, first and second periods."

Lu Beiting refused to let her come ashore, remaining standing in the center of the pool, with his arm around her waist and kissing her shoulder.

I'll call you tomorrow.

After saying that, he continued his work underwater.

Lin Qian was terrified of water. Out of animal instinct, she clung tightly to the man's neck, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

"Lu Beiting, I'm begging you..."

"No good." The man uttered two cold words, shattering all her beautiful fantasies.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that Lu Beiting woke her up in a low voice.

She was sore and weak all over that she couldn't get up at all, so she had to pay extra to find someone to take her class and sign in for her.

She felt that if things continued like this, she would die at Lu Beiting's hands sooner or later...

Lin Qian was extremely depressed and couldn't concentrate on her work. Unable to resist slacking off, she posted a message on Xiaohongshu to vent her emotions:

[Help request: Sisters, I accidentally went into my ex-boyfriend's room while drunk and did things I shouldn't have... Now I owe him a huge favor and have to do it with him again. I'm so stressed and overwhelmed...]

Actually, it was just a casual post to vent her emotions, and Lin Qian planned to delete it later.

Unexpectedly, this post went viral within half an hour.

[By the way, speaking of big...]

Lin Qian was speechless.

[Wow, your boyfriend is so awesome! Isn't he handsome?]

Lin Qian frowned: [Is it alright?]

As more and more comments appeared below, Lin Qian's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper.

[666, you've gotten this many numbers already? Tell me, what exactly are you trying to sell?]

[My Best Friend, My Best Friend, is the kind of novel you'd love to read: long-awaited reunion, reconciliation, ambiguous relationships, and 18+ rated romance novel!! @momo]

[You mean, you went into your ex-boyfriend's room drunk, and instead of kicking you out, he slept with you? And not only did he help you, but he also asked you to come with him again? My God, this isn't just an ex-boyfriend, this is your destined lover! He loves you so much!!!]

[Waiting for updates, please kick me out]

[I usually advise breaking up in other posts, but in yours I want to suggest getting back together. It seems your ex-boyfriend really enjoys having sex with you.]

Wow! I'm hooked! It's kind of sweet, what's going on?!

What are you waiting for? You don't have to take any responsibility! Having fun is a win-win situation!!!

Lin Qian: "..."

What kind of nonsense comments are these?

Lin Qian blushed and deleted the post, letting out a deep sigh.

Given Lu Beiting's extreme capitalist ways, he won't stop until he's squeezed her dry.

Will she really make it through tonight?
