The Quagmire of Desire: From Gambling Addict and Village Flower to Movie Queen

At six o'clock in the morning, Liu Meiling came out of her room with a cigarette in her mouth and saw Liu Yue sneak out of Xiao Hui's room.

The two bumped into each other in the corridor.

Liu Yue was wearing the same pink slip dress she wore last night, her hair was a mess, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

When she saw Liu Meiling, her face turned pale instantly, and her lips moved but she couldn't say a word.

Liu Meiling squinted and exhaled a puff of smoke.

At this moment, Sun Xiaoyan also came out of the room and was stunned when she saw the scene.

The three people stood in the corridor, the air seemed to freeze.

Liu Yue lowered her head and walked quickly toward the bathroom, almost tripping over her own slippers.

Meiling, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, watched her retreating figure and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

Sun Xiaoyan walked over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with her these past two days?"

Meiling didn't say anything, but just raised an eyebrow.

The two looked at each other and then remained silent.

...

At 10 a.m., Meiling's phone rang.

Lin Dong's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Girl, all the photos are edited. They'll be released on the official website next week."

Meiling lay on the bed with her legs crossed, laughing as she said, "That's not bad. Do you have an explicit version?"

Lin Dong laughed on the other end: "Of course there are. The private series is not open to the public and is only circulated among high-end members. You know what I mean."

Meiling laughed and said, "You men have so many tricks up your sleeves."

After hanging up the phone, she saw Sun Xiaoyan sitting by the window, staring blankly at the sea outside.

Meiling walked over and offered him a cigarette: "What are you thinking about?"

Xiaoyan took the cigarette but didn't light it, her voice muffled: "It's nothing."

Meiling didn't press the matter, and sat down next to her, looking out at the sea together.

...

Around 4 PM, the four of them went for a walk on the beach.

Xiao Hui led Liu Yue by the hand, while Liu Yue kept her head down, occasionally glancing back at Mei Ling and Xiao Yan.

Meiling and Xiaoyan followed at a distance.

Liu Yue's phone vibrated.

She looked down and her face turned pale.

It was a message from Liu Sheng: "You look best in that tulle dress."

Liu Yue's hand trembled slightly, and she quickly deleted the record.

Xiao Hui tilted his head and asked her, "Who is it?"

Liu Yue smiled and said, "It's a sales pitch."

Xiao Hui didn't think much of it and continued walking forward while holding her hand.

Meiling, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, squinted at Liu Yue's retreating figure and muttered, "That girl has been acting really strange lately, and it's not the first time."

Xiaoyan also lowered her voice: "Look at how nervous she is looking at her phone, something must be wrong."

Meiling gave a cold laugh and didn't say anything.

...

At 7 p.m., Lin Dong called again to invite a few people to go to the night market.

Liu Yue said she wasn't feeling well and wanted to stay and rest.

Xiao Hui was a little worried and asked several times before leaving.

After the door closed, Liu Yue let out a long sigh, slumped onto the sofa, and stared blankly into her mind, her thoughts filled with the events of that day.

Liu Sheng's hands, Liu Sheng's mouth, and the words he said that made her blush and her heart race.

My phone vibrated again.

She picked it up and saw it was from Liu Sheng: "I heard you're the only one staying at the hotel?"

Liu Yue hovered her finger over the screen for a long time, but in the end, she didn't reply.

I had just put down my phone when the doorbell rang.

Liu Yue was taken aback, thinking that the three of them had forgotten something, and ran barefoot to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Liu Sheng stood outside, his silver earrings reflecting the light under the corridor lamp.

"Why are you here?" Liu Yue took a step back.

Liu Sheng walked into the house with a smile and closed the door behind him.

"I missed you." He hugged Liu Yue tightly.

Liu Yue struggled twice but couldn't break free, her voice weak: "Don't do this, they'll be back soon."

"What are you afraid of?" Liu Sheng pushed her down onto the sofa. "Are you wet?"

Liu Yue was taken aback: "What?"

Liu Sheng leaned close to her ear: "You lied to me and said you only liked your boyfriend, but what happened? You couldn't help yourself, could you?"

Liu Yue's face flushed red: "I didn't..."

"Then why are you being so proactive?" Liu Sheng's hands started to wander. "Does your boyfriend know those tricks?"

Liu Yue bit her lip and remained silent, her mind a jumbled mess.

Liu Sheng kept praising her figure, saying that Xiao Hui didn't know how to appreciate it, and that Xiao Hui would never be able to learn the poses he taught her.

As Liu Yue listened, she began to waver, and her body grew increasingly hot.

As Liu Sheng picked her up and carried her toward the bedroom, only one thought remained in her mind—Xiao Hui wouldn't find out anyway.

She increasingly felt that Xiao Hui was inferior to Liu Sheng. Xiao Hui was too young and knew nothing. He always acted recklessly, unlike Liu Sheng who was so experienced.

...

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xiao Hui, Mei Ling, and Xiao Yan walked back in the hotel corridor, chatting and laughing.

Meiling walked at the front, taking out her room key as she went.

As soon as the door opened, Xiao Hui followed him inside.

In the bedroom, Liu Yue was naked and entangled with Liu Sheng.

Hearing the noise outside the door, Liu Yue trembled in fright, and a warm flow ran down her thigh—she had lost control of her bladder.

Liu Sheng remained calm and sat up unhurriedly.

Liu Yue's voice trembled: "Quick! Hide!"

Liu Sheng grabbed his clothes and scrambled into the closet, winking at Liu Yue as he closed the door.

Liu Yue hurriedly grabbed a bed sheet and wrapped it around her body.

In the living room, Xiao Hui walked in and said, "Liu Yue? What's going on? There's a smell in the house."

Liu Yue's voice came from the bedroom, trembling violently: "I just finished taking a shower."

Xiao Hui felt something was off: "Aren't you cold? The air conditioning is so low, you'll catch a cold."

As he spoke, he walked straight to the wardrobe and reached out to pull the door open—

Liu Yue sat on the bed, naked, her body still covered in sweat.

She watched as Xiaohui's hand reached for the wardrobe handle, and her mind went blank.

"No!" Liu Yue cried out.

Xiao Hui turned around and glanced at her, his hand frozen in mid-air: "What's wrong?"

"I...I...that..." Liu Yue's mind raced, her voice trembling, "I just changed out of my underwear and haven't hung it up to dry yet. It wouldn't be good if you saw it."

Xiao Hui chuckled: "What can't we see?"

As she spoke, she reached for the wardrobe door.

Liu Yue jumped off the bed, rushed over barefoot, and grabbed Xiao Hui around the waist: "Don't open it! Please!"

Xiao Hui was startled by her reaction and looked down at her.

Liu Yue was trembling all over, her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were fixed on the wardrobe door, as if a ghost was locked behind it.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Hui frowned. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Um..." Liu Yue quickly followed up, "My stomach suddenly hurts so much, can you carry me to the toilet?"

Xiao Hui glanced at her, then at the wardrobe, and finally sighed before bending down and picking her up in his arms.

Liu Yue clung tightly to his neck, buried her head in his chest, and her heart pounded like a drum.

Xiao Hui carried her into the bathroom and placed her on the toilet. Liu Yue immediately clutched her stomach and cried out, "Go out first! Why are you staring at me while I'm in the bathroom?"

Xiao Hui shook his head helplessly, turned around, closed the door, and left.

As Liu Yue heard the door close, she collapsed onto the toilet, her back covered in cold sweat.

Her hands trembled as she took out her phone and texted Liu Sheng: "Get out of here! Xiao Hui is still in the living room!"

The other end replied instantly: "What's the rush? Is he going to eat you? Let me have a smoke first."

Liu Yue was so angry she almost smashed her phone; her hands were shaking as she typed: "Are you fucking crazy?! He's really going to open the closet!"

"It's fine even if it's open. I just told you you asked me to come up here to take pictures."

"Screw you taking pictures! I'm naked and you're naked, what are you taking pictures of!"
