In that instant, Chen Zan’s heart suddenly fell into chaos, pounding in a furtive, restless rhythm that he couldn’t suppress. He didn’t know what to do.
Charge her?
No, no.
They had already broken up. Last time had only happened because the drug’s effects forced him into it.
His voice trembled, his gaze drifting everywhere except toward her as he tried to deflect, “CEO Jiang, did you mistake me for someone else, I’m not Chen Zan, I…”
Chen Zan clenched his teeth. Sorry, brother.
“My name is Li Sheng.”
At that same moment, Li Sheng, who was eating late-night snacks with his girlfriend, suddenly sneezed several times in a row despite being bundled up warmly just as she had told him.
One sneeze followed another, his nose itching uncontrollably, completely unstoppable. The force even brought tears to his eyes.
“Hey, are you catching a cold?” his girlfriend asked worriedly, cupping his face.
Li Sheng immediately lowered his head so her forehead could press against his. Whenever he got sick, she always liked to check him this way. It was unbelievably cute, so much so that his heart softened instantly.
She blinked innocently and murmured, “It doesn’t feel hot…”
Li Sheng rubbed his forehead, suddenly suspicious, “Could it be someone’s cursing me?”
“Maybe, feeling guilty about something?”
“I’m guilty… for setting fire to your delicate heart.”

…
In the dim lounge, the sound of breathing grew heavier and heavier.
Chen Zan, struggling to hold himself back, was suddenly pulled into a kiss by Jiang Youwei.
The moment their lips touched, his entire body went numb.
Their breaths intertwined, hot and unsteady, and a shock-like sensation surged through every nerve in his body.
He wanted to refuse. He had to refuse.
Yet the hands that were meant to push her away slowly slid to rest at her waist instead.
He remembered their first kiss.
Back then, he had no experience. Too eager, too excited, too overwhelmed, he had bitten her lips until they bled.
At that time, Jiang Youwei had been terrified, covering her mouth in panic. Tears had welled up in her eyes, her cheeks flushed red, looking utterly wronged.
Chen Zan had thought he had done something unforgivable.
No matter how he tried to comfort her, she kept covering her reddened face and refused to listen.
Chen Zan scratched his head and suggested, “Say a mosquito bit you?”
Jiang Youwei was speechless, “What kind of mosquito bites someone’s lips open like that?! Chen Zan, you’re so annoying…”
…
Now, Jiang Youwei leaned back slightly, looking at him with glistening eyes. The grievance on her face was completely exposed, and all the composure and sharp control she usually carried as a successful woman had vanished.
“Chen Zan… I dreamed about you again.”
She threw herself into his arms, gripping his clothes tightly as she poured out her feelings, “I miss you so much.”
Chen Zan’s heartbeat accelerated.
“After that night, why didn’t you come find me anymore…”
Was she talking about that one-night encounter?
“Since we’re in a dream…” Jiang Youwei suddenly pushed Chen Zan down. Her gaze turned forceful, yet her kiss remained soft and lingering. “Then let me have my way with you…”
Chen Zan tried to steady himself, taking a deep breath. The dizziness… that was normal.
He forced himself to remain calm, gripping her shoulders to keep a bit of distance between them.
“Youwei, don’t do this…”
“Don’t?” Jiang Youwei tilted her head, her expression as innocent and pure as it had been years ago, making him momentarily dazed.
Her hand slid down, her body leaning closer toward him as she murmured softly, “But it doesn’t look like he wants me to stop…”
