They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The next day.

Xiao Xiao lay on her bed in her bedroom, staring blankly at the ceiling.

She didn't go out today, wearing loose pajamas, with her legs draped over a cushion at the foot of the bed.

The phone was placed next to the pillow, the screen lit up and then dimmed, dimmed and then lit up again.

Xiao Xiao's mind was a mess, filled with images from yesterday.

Shen Qingning moved step by step, supporting herself against the wall, each step feeling like torture.

She was wearing Qiu Siyao's floral dress and sat next to Jiang Han, with red marks on her body spreading from her neck to her collarbone.

Beneath the floral dress, there might be even more...

Xiao Xiao turned over and buried her face in the pillow.

She wasn't an ignorant little girl; she had never eaten pork, but she had seen pigs run many times.

Shen Qingning looked utterly disheveled, as if she had been thoroughly tormented.

Strangely, Shen Qingning's face showed no pain, only satisfaction.

That kind of satisfaction that comes from deep within, the satisfaction of being thoroughly fed.

Xiao Xiao recalled the way Shen Qingning looked at Jiang Han.

It wasn't like looking at an ex-boyfriend; it was more like... surrendering.

Xiao Xiao had seen strange things online, like master-servant relationships.

At the time, she thought it was outrageous, but now that she thinks about it, Shen Qingning's behavior is exactly the same as those descriptions.

"Impossible, impossible." Xiao Xiao shook her head, trying to clear the jumbled images from her mind.

But the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

Shen Qingning used to be so proud, a famously aloof goddess in the entertainment industry, the kind who walked with a swagger.

She's completely changed since breaking up with Jiang Han.

She doesn't talk back when she's being scolded in the group chat, and she doesn't get angry when she sees Jiang Han being intimate with other women.

Is this normal?

unusual!

Unless she has found a new position.

Xiao Xiao turned over again and stared at the ceiling.

She remembered Jiang Han's face.

He's really handsome, and really bad.

The scene of Jiang Han feeding Shen Qingning porridge was very natural, as if he had done it countless times.

When Shen Qingning took it, her hands were trembling, but her eyes were full of light.

At that moment, Xiao Xiao inexplicably put herself in Shen Qingning's shoes.

Am I sick?

She sat up, picked up her phone, and opened Jiang Han's chat window.

The last time the two had spoken was ten hours ago, when Jiang Han sent her a demo of "Little Dimples," and she replied with "It's so good!" followed by a string of exclamation marks.

Jiang Han did not return.

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, typed a few words and then deleted them, going back and forth several times, before finally sending only one sentence.

"President Jiang, how's the original song project going?"

After sending the message, Xiao Xiao immediately held her phone to her chest.

I waited for a while, but there was no response.

"Hmph, you're not going to reply to my messages, are you?" Xiao Xiao pouted and got out of bed.

She went to the dressing room, opened the cabinet door, and picked through the row of clothes.

In the end, I chose a light pink JK uniform.

White shirt, red bow tie, pleated skirt, black knee-high socks, and round-toed leather shoes.

Her petite figure, just over 1.6 meters tall, looks vibrant and energetic in a JK uniform.

Even walking on a university campus, it wouldn't feel out of place at all.

Xiao Xiao stood in front of the dressing mirror and spun around twice.

"Her legs aren't as long as Shen Qingning's, and her breasts aren't as big as Lin Yaoyao's..."

"Is being cute less attractive than being sexy?"

Xiao Xiao pouted and muttered to herself, "Since you're not replying to my messages, I'll go ask you myself."

Xingyue Media, Chairman's Office.

Jiang Han was signing an OA document when the internal phone on his desk rang.

"Chairman Jiang, Miss Xiao Xiao has arrived," came the secretary's voice.

"Let her in."

The door opened, and Xiao Xiao poked her head out, giving him a sweet smile.

"Mr. Jiang, did I disturb your work?"

"Since you're already here, what's the point of me saying I'm bothering you?"

Xiao Xiao walked in with a smile and placed the milk tea on his table.

"I brought you a drink, your favorite flavor."

Jiang Han glanced at the milk tea: "What are you doing here?"

"Ask about the progress of the original songs."

Xiao Xiao sat down opposite, resting her chin on her hands on the table.

"Didn't I already give it to you?"

"That's a demo. I've already practiced it, but it hasn't been officially recorded yet!"

After finishing his work, Jiang Han turned around and looked Xiao Xiao up and down.

JK uniform, knee-high black socks, looks like a minor.

"What are you wearing?"

"JK uniform! Doesn't it look good?" Xiao Xiao stood up and twirled around, her skirt billowing.

"Ugly."

"You're the ugly one!" Xiao Xiao stomped her foot.

Jiang Han rarely showed a smile: "Alright, since you're here, let's go to the recording studio and record 'Little Dimples'."

Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up: "Now?"

"What else can we do? You're going on stage tomorrow, if we don't record a proper version today, will we just play the instrumental version or the demo?"

"Okay, okay! Let's go now!"

Xiao Xiao was so happy she almost jumped for joy. She hurriedly picked up her bag and followed Jiang Han outside.

As they passed the front desk, the two administrative staff noticed Xiao Xiao's attire and then saw Jiang Han walking ahead of her, and they exchanged meaningful glances.

Recording Studio 1.

Tingting and Ajie were tidying up the equipment when they saw Jiang Han bring Xiao Xiao in and were taken aback.

"Chairman Jiang, do you want to record this?"

"Yes, 'Little Dimples,' Xiao Xiao's version." Jiang Han pointed to Xiao Xiao.

"You two record it for her, I'll listen outside."

Xiao Xiao was displeased: "Aren't you coming with me?"

"I've already recorded it, you record your part."

"No way! Love songs only feel right when sung as a duet!" Xiao Xiao grabbed Jiang Han's sleeve.

"Just think of it as practicing with me. It's always good to rehearse a few more times before going on stage, right?"

Tingting was trying not to laugh.

Ah-Jie looked down at the mixing console, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

Jiang Han sighed: "Alright, one person records one track, we'll mix them up later."

"Yay!"

Xiao Xiao skipped and hopped into the recording studio, stood in front of the microphone, and put on her headphones.

She gave an OK sign to the glass window.

The prelude begins.

Jiang Han sat in front of the mixing console and said through the microphone, "Relax, don't be nervous."

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath and began to sing:

"I'm still searching for someone to lean on, and for an embrace..."

Her voice was sweet, with a touch of girlish shyness.

While her skills may not match those of professional singers, her naturalness is what makes her stand out, like a girl next door softly humming in your ear.

Tingting nodded slightly in front of the mixing console and gave A-Jie a "not bad" sign.

During the chorus, Jiang Han added into the microphone:

"Your dimples and long eyelashes are your most beautiful features..."

The two voices intertwined in the mixer, creating a surprisingly harmonious sound.

After recording one take, Xiao Xiao took off her headphones and ran out.

"How is it? Does it sound good?"

Tingting played the replay, and Xiaoxiao pouted after listening: "I was a little too eager for the first line."

"Again," Jiang Han said.

The second time, the third time, the fourth time...

Xiao Xiao sang more and more relaxed, and by the fifth time, Tingting made the final decision.

"This take is good. The emotion is right, and the pitch is perfect."

"Really?" Xiao Xiao was so happy that she spun around on the spot.

She ran up to Jiang Han and said, "Jiang Han, let me treat you to dinner. Thank you for helping me record the song."

"Need not."

"Don't be shy! It's almost lunchtime anyway."

Jiang Han glanced at the time; it was 5 p.m.

"Let's do it another day, I have something to do tonight."

Xiao Xiao's eyes darted around: "What's up? A date?"

Jiang Han ignored her and got up to walk out.

Xiao Xiao followed behind, like a clingy kitten.

"President Jiang, you still haven't answered me. Are you really going to wear a gray suit to the opening ceremony tomorrow? Does it match my white dress?"

"casual."

"How can we be so casual! This is my grand opening ceremony, and you're the most important guest!"

The two walked out of the recording studio one after the other and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Tingting and A-Jie looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Sister Tingting, what do you think about Miss Xiao Xiao's feelings for Chairman Jiang...?"

"Don't ask unnecessary questions!"

Yunqi Mountain Villa.

Jiang Han drove back to the villa and opened the door.

The living room was dark and quiet.

"Yaoyao? Siyao?"

No one responded.

Jiang Han changed his shoes and went upstairs. When he reached the master bedroom door, he found it ajar, with warm yellow light shining from inside.

He pushed open the door and was shocked by the erotic scene before him.
