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

Xiao Hui finished his last cigarette in the living room and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

He stood up and glanced at Liu Yue's closed room. There was no sound from inside; she had probably cried herself to sleep.

Xiao Hui walked to the door of Mei Ling and Xiao Yan's room, pushed it open, and a fragrant aroma wafted out.

It's a fragrance that blends perfume and a woman's unique scent; it's light and quite pleasant.

He turned on the light, then froze.

The bed was covered in clothes, all kinds, the sexy kind.

A red lace bra lay tossed beside the pillow, black stockings were tangled up in the middle of the blankets, and several thongs hung on the bedside table.

Several wads of tissues were lying on the ground, sticky and disgusting to look at.

There were even two vibrators next to the bed, one pink and one black, just casually tossed on the floor.

Xiao Hui sighed and resigned himself to his fate.

He bent down, picked up the wads of tissues, and threw them into the trash can. Then he squatted down, picked up the two vibrators, wiped them with a tissue, and put them back in the bedside table drawer.

Then he started tidying up the clothes on the bed, folding them one by one and placing them on the chair next to him.

He folded bras, stockings, and thongs without changing his expression. When he got to a pair of semi-transparent black lace panties, he paused for a moment, but still finished folding them and put them down.

After tidying up for about ten minutes, the bed was finally ready to sleep in.

Xiao Hui took off his coat and lay down on the bed.

The blanket was very soft, and it smelled of my two older sisters, which made me feel at ease.

He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

In the next room, Liu Yue lay on the bed, her tears already dried.

She stared at the ceiling with her eyes open, her mind filled with the image of Zhao Wenhan leaving and Xiao Hui's words, "You can sleep with whomever you want in the future."

She bit her lip and cried silently for a while, then got tired, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning at seven o'clock, Xiao Hui was woken up by his mobile phone alarm.

He turned over, smelling the fragrance on the blanket, and didn't want to get up.

But thinking about going to driving school today, I still got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face.

He walked to Liu Yue's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

He didn't knock again and went straight downstairs.

At the entrance of the chess and card shop, Xiaoqin was opening the door when she saw Xiaohui arrive. She greeted him with a smile, "Xiaohui, you're here! Sister Meiling hasn't gotten up yet; she's sleeping in the back."

Xiao Hui nodded and went to find Mei Ling in the back.

Meiling was lying on the bed in the back room, the blanket only covering her chest, revealing her snow-white shoulders and collarbone.

Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes, saw it was Xiaohui, and smiled: "Oh, you're here so early?"

"I promised to go to driving school today," Xiao Hui said.

Meiling stretched, and the blanket slipped down, revealing most of her body.

She didn't mind, and sat up with her upper body bare, rubbing her eyes and saying, "Okay, wait for me to wash up."

Xiao Hui turned his head away, pretending to look out the window.

Meiling laughed: "Stop pretending to be an innocent young man. You slept in my bed last night, you didn't steal my stockings, did you?"

"No." Xiao Hui blushed.

Meiling laughed heartily, got out of bed, casually put on a T-shirt and shorts, and went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.

About ten minutes later, Meiling finished getting ready, changing into a black tight-fitting T-shirt and denim shorts, her chest curves taut.

She had a cigarette in her mouth and pulled Xiaohui out the door.

"Let's go buy a milk tea first, it's so hot at that lousy driving school," Meiling said.

The two went to a bubble tea shop at the street corner, bought two cups of pearl milk tea, and packed two more to take away, saying they were for their coach.

Upon arriving at the driving school, Meiling took Xiaohui directly to the registration office.

"Teacher, I want to change my instructor for the second part of the driving test," Meiling said to the middle-aged registration clerk.

The registration clerk paused for a moment: "Why change? Didn't we assign you a male coach? Zhang Ming, he's a really nice young man."

"He had something to do at home and couldn't come," Meiling said. "Besides, I don't want to learn from him. Please find me a female coach."

The registration clerk glanced at her chest, then at the milk tea behind her, and swallowed hard. "Alright, then I'll switch you to Coach Su Huilan. She's a woman, in her forties, and has a good temper."

Meiling nodded: "Okay."

The registration clerk added, "By the way, you can now schedule your Theory Test (Part 1). After you pass Part 1, you can schedule Part 2 in ten days. Use this time to practice for Part 2."

The two agreed and went to find their respective coaches.

As soon as Xiao Hui arrived at the training ground, he saw Coach Liu standing next to a training vehicle, smoking.

Coach Liu wore a dark blue bodycon skirt today, which tightly hugged her full hips, with black stockings and high heels.

She had her hair in a ponytail and a cigarette in her mouth. When she saw Xiaohui arrive, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Xiaohui's here," Coach Liu said with a smile. "I was worried you wouldn't dare come."

Xiao Hui walked over and handed her the milk tea: "Here you go, Coach Liu, I bought you a cup of milk tea."

Coach Liu took the milk tea, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes: "Tsk, so sensible. Get in the car, I'll continue teaching you how to reverse and parallel park."

Xiao Hui got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.

Coach Liu also got into the car, put the milk tea on the cup holder, and then turned to the side, her ample chest almost brushing against Xiao Hui's face.

"Watch this first, and I'll demonstrate it for you," Coach Liu said, and then began to operate.

As she worked, she moved closer to Xiaohui, casually placing her hand on his thigh.

Xiao Hui didn't dodge and let her ride with him.

"Look, turn the steering wheel like this, look in the rearview mirror, and once the car is straight, straighten it," Coach Liu said, gently patting his thigh twice. "Got it?"

Xiao Hui nodded: "Understood."

Coach Liu smiled, his eyes alluring: "Then it's your turn to try."

When Xiao Hui switched positions with the coach, Coach Liu touched his waist.

Xiao Hui didn't say anything and just sat in the driver's seat.

Coach Liu sat back in the passenger seat, crossed her legs, and her pencil skirt rode up a bit, revealing the edge of her black stockings at the top of her thighs.

She didn't pull up her skirt, just crossed her legs and watched Xiaohui operate the machine.

"Yes, slow down, don't rush, look in the rearview mirror." Coach Liu said, putting her hand on his thigh again. "Yes, just like that, I'm rooting for you."

Xiao Hui was focused on practicing driving, while Coach Liu's hand rested on his thigh, occasionally giving it a squeeze.

Meanwhile, Mei-ling found Coach Su Hui-lan.

Su Huilan was in her forties, wearing glasses, a plain gray T-shirt and trousers, and looked very gentle.

She spoke softly, but with great patience.

"You must be Liu Meiling, the new guy?" Su Huilan said with a smile. "Get in the car, I'll teach you how to reverse into a parking space first."

Meiling got into the car, and Su Huilan sat in the passenger seat, starting to explain the locations to her.

"Look at that pole. When it reaches the position shown in the rearview mirror, start turning the steering wheel," Su Huilan said.

Meiling nodded and began to operate the device carefully.

She practiced for half an hour and felt pretty good. Su Huilan kept praising her for learning quickly.

"Take a break," Su Huilan said. "Have some water."

Meiling got out of the car, took out a cigarette from her bag, and lit one.

She was smoking a cigarette and drinking milk tea when she suddenly heard someone cursing from not far away.

"Don't you guys even know how to use an umbrella? Huh? Don't you? The sun's so strong, are you trying to kill me with heatstroke?"

Meiling, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, walked over curiously.

A black van was parked next to the training field, its doors wide open.

A woman in a white dress stood beside the car, wearing sunglasses, smoking a cigarette, with long, white legs and white stockings.

She was yelling at her two assistants, who were sitting with their heads down, holding umbrellas, too scared to say a word.

Meiling recognized her; it was Su Wanni, the obscure celebrity she had met during the last registration.

"And what kind of lousy driving school did you choose for me? What kind of hellhole is this? It's so sunny, how am I supposed to film? If my face gets sunburned, can you afford to compensate me?" Su Wanni continued to curse, her voice shrill.

A junior assistant whispered, "Sister Su, this is the best driving school..."

"The best?" Su Wanni slapped him across the face. With a crisp "smack," the assistant covered his face, tears welling up in his eyes.

"And that male coach, he even said he was my personal trainer. Damn it, he was staring at my legs. What a pervert, he's got me all smitten." Su Wanni got angrier and angrier as she spoke.

Meiling, a cigarette dangling from her lips, walked over and said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this that little starlet? What did she do to you that you had to slap this young girl?"

Su Wanni turned her head, saw Meiling, and was stunned for a moment: "Who the hell are you?"

"Who do you care who I am?" Meiling exhaled a puff of smoke. "Didn't you say last time that smoking wasn't allowed at driving school? What the hell are you pretending to be innocent for?"
