Chapter 500: Chapter 500: Knowing This, Why Endure?

Fu Shinian had been silently watching Su Mu, not uttering a word until he felt it was about time. When Su Mu began to tremble uncontrollably in the bathtub, he finally bent down and carried her out, casually asking:

"Is that enough?"

Su Mu nodded, but her body couldn’t stop shaking. Fu Shinian, without saying another word, stripped off her clothes that were barely there to begin with. Su Mu intended to resist, but in the end lacked the strength to do so. Eventually, Fu Shinian wrapped her in a bath towel, strode out of the bathroom, and laid her back down on the bed.

Pulling up the covers over her, Fu Shinian retreated to the couch and sat down, lighting a cigarette with an air of indifference:

"Let me know if you need anything."

"Thank you."

Her response was met with a cold chuckle from Shinian.

Ten minutes after leaving the bathtub, Su Mu’s body gradually warmed up, and she stopped shivering. The discomfort inside her seemed to be suppressed, and at least for the moment, she felt she could endure it. Throughout this time, Fu Shinian remained quietly seated on the couch, not making a sound, as if he didn’t exist at all.

Later, when Su Mu’s body temperature had returned to normal, she glanced at the time. It was already 2 am, after nearly a whole day and night of struggle, she was too exhausted to stay awake. Yet, seeing Shinian looking wide awake, she hesitated whether to ask him to rest with her. It was then that Su Mu realized the heat she thought had dissipated was returning.

She repressed it, not moving or making a sound.

But the agony became increasingly unbearable until she wasn’t even sure if she’d made any noise. However, when she turned around, Shinian was already standing at the bedside, his gaze still effortlessly serene as if he were a master puppeteer mocking Su Mu’s overestimation of her own strength:

"How is it? Do I need to hold you for another cold shower?"

Su Mu clenched her teeth and didn’t speak.

Shinian quietly waited a few seconds, then began to remove his clothes. Su Mu watched, opening her mouth, but no sound came out even as Fu Shinian climbed on top of her. She only felt that if escape from this outcome was impossible from the start, then perhaps the prior depths of despair were unnecessary.

Regrettably, it was all too late.

Because it all started with a drug, Su Mu could attribute this reluctant intimacy to the influence of the substance, which made its acceptance not so difficult. Eventually, she surrendered her mind and consciousness to her body, and finally, her body to Fu Shinian.

Unaware of how long it went on, Su Mu ultimately lost consciousness, with the last image before blacking out being Shinian holding her tightly and biting her ear, almost gnashing his teeth as he called her name:

"Su Mu, Su Mu..."

When everything was over, Su Mu fell into a deep sleep, the alcohol and drugs ensuring she couldn’t last another second. When Fu Shinian got out of bed, he glanced at the time. It was 5 am, and the dawn was gradually brightening. He should have been exhausted after the exertion, but he felt refreshed and went straight to the balcony to watch the sunrise.

During this time, he received an email. The night before, he had sent his bodyguard to check the restaurant’s surveillance footage. The email contained last night’s recordings; Shinian took a look and then put down his phone.

When Su Mu awoke close to noon, the soreness in her body was not unlike the aftermath of a drunken bout. She didn’t know if it was the drugs in her system or Shinian’s wolfish behavior the night before, but regardless, the soreness was real.

There was no one beside her. Su Mu lay quietly for a while before getting out of bed. After freshening up in the bathroom, she heard sounds from the balcony and walked over. At first, there was no one, until her eyes landed on the swimming pool, where she saw Shinian’s figure. She watched quietly for a while, but when he failed to notice her, she decided to leave. She hadn’t taken a step before splashes of water echoed from behind.

Shinian spoke up:

"Awake?"

Su Mu turned around and saw him lying on the edge of the pool, glinting droplets of water on his body under the sunlight. Su Mu looked away: "Keep swimming."

"Almost done." Shinian leaped out of the pool, his fit physique on full display as he wore only swimming trunks. Su Mu had seen his body before without ulterior thoughts, but this time, she inexplicably recalled certain scenes from the night before. She even remembered reaching out to touch...

The drug that could rob one of their senses was indeed nefarious. Su Mu shook the inappropriate images from her mind, only to realize that Shinian was already standing in front of her, watching her with a knowing smile—as if he knew what she was thinking.

Su Mu didn’t feel embarrassed, but she was somewhat uncomfortable and wanted to leave, which Shinian interrupted by grabbing her wrist:

"Where are you going?"

Su Mu made up a flimsy excuse: "The sun’s too strong. I haven’t applied sunscreen."

But Shinian was unconcerned, smiling slightly:

"Don’t worry, I’ve already checked yesterday. Your skin, every part of it, hasn’t gotten tanned anywhere."

Deciding to ignore him, Su Mu turned and went inside. Shinian smiled faintly and followed her in: "I have something to show you."

Su Mu subconsciously thought he was still teasing her and ignored him, lying back down on the bed. Though she had just awoken, the intense ordeal Shinian put her through last night left her incredibly sore, probably needing to lie down all day. Fortunately, her work was done, and she could relax freely.

Shinian watched Su Mu, didn’t correct her posture, likely knowing she was uncomfortable. He took his phone and lay down beside her. Unexpectedly for Su Mu, his movements set her on edge, and she tensed up. Shinian paused, then spoke:

"After three hours with you last night, still not enough?"

"Enough," said Su Mu. "So don’t touch me now."

"Hurts?" Shinian showed concern, his expression changing as he attempted to lift the covers: "Let me check."

Su Mu quickly refused, tucking the blanket under herself:

"No need, I’m just sore all over. I’ll be fine after resting."

"Sure you’re okay?"

"Yes, really, I’m fine."

Shinian looked at her for several seconds, nodded slightly, ceased his teasing and reached out to pull her into his arms, letting her lean against his chest. The intimate position made Su Mu slightly uneasy, but Shinian tapped her forehead: "Don’t be so delicate."

Su Mu gave him a look, then felt at ease. Indeed, compared to their previous intimate encounter, this slight contact was nothing.

"What did you want to show me?"

"Let’s see how you got tricked last night."
