Chapter 17
Li Zhen blinked and looked at the person on the ground, then at Yu Sheng who had just appeared.
Li Yanran's lips turned white, obviously stunned. She murmured, "She... seems to have been knocked out..."
"Who said she was knocked out?" Li Zhen walked two steps forward, her tone envious, "Youth is bliss, able to fall asleep immediately."
Li Yanran: ...
Manager: ...
Models: ...
Li Yanran spoke gently, "Yu...Brother Yu Sheng, she's a girl..."
"I, Yu Sheng, am no gentleman. I don't discriminate between hitting men and women," Yu Sheng walked closer to Li Yanran, looking her up and down, his gaze as cold as ice, "So you better behave yourself."
Although his tone was neither heavy nor light, Li Yanran understood the warning behind it and felt a chill run through her body.
She didn't dare say another word, just weakly helped Duan Zhixin walk outside.
As soon as they left the VIP room, the manager immediately closed the door.
Through the gradually closing gap, Li Yanran saw Yu Sheng walk over to Li Zhen and gently brush the stray hair from her face.
How unfair!
What right does Li Zhen, that illegitimate daughter, have!
The VIP room door closed completely. Li Yanran looked away, her fingers clenched tightly together.
More than twenty years ago, Li Zhen's mother was no match for her own mother.
Li Zhen, don't even think about defeating her either!
-
Yu Sheng tucked the stray hair beside Li Zhen's ear behind her ear, "Usually you don't let me get close, yet outside you let others bully you."
Li Zhen took a step back, "Weren't you too rough just now?"
She had wanted to hit the girl herself, but Yu Sheng always used too much force. Li Zhen was worried Duan Zhixin might get a concussion.
"I think I went easy on her..." Yu Sheng sat down on the sofa, crossing his long legs.
The manager quickly brought over a cup of tea, "Young Master Yu."
Yu Sheng took a sip of the tea, glanced at Li Zhen who seemed to want to say something. "What are you standing there for? Go change, it's getting late."
Li Zhen had wanted to tell him not to meddle in her affairs next time.
But he had just helped her fight.
If she said it now, it would seem like she was unappreciative.
After all, she thought Yu Sheng had handled it perfectly, except for being a bit heavy-handed...
Without another word, Li Zhen randomly picked a dress and the model followed her into the changing room.
Yu Sheng also went to change into a formal suit.
He wore a silver-white formal suit, matching the color of Li Zhen's dress.
After changing, he sat back down on the sofa and checked the time.
"Ms. Li looks so beautiful in this dress, gorgeous!" The manager couldn't help but exclaim loudly.
Yu Sheng instinctively looked up.
It was Li Zhen, finished changing.
Tall and slender, Li Zhen's figure was accentuated by the mermaid dress that seemed tailored just for her.
From her delicate waist to the hem of the skirt, there were tiny flickering silver fish scales.
Highlighting her slim waist and pert derriere.
"Is it too tight?" Li Zhen asked the model beside her.
"No, not at all," the model smiled and shook her head, "Your proportions are perfect, this set matches your temperament perfectly!"
"Is that so?" Li Zhen tugged at the skirt.
Under Yu Sheng's gaze, she slowly walked closer.
The light in the VIP room fell on the tiny scales, glinting slightly.
In the interplay of light and shadow, she was like the most beautiful mermaid in the deep sea, flicking her tail and stirring the clear water, illuminating it with sound and color.
Thump thump!
Yu Sheng heard the clear thumping of his heart.
"Yu Sheng, what do you think of this dress?" Li Zhen casually asked him.
Like a mermaid just emerged from the water, unintentionally revealing her bewitching charm, oblivious to it herself.
Yu Sheng looked up slightly.
He thought of the first basketball game in their freshman year, when he led the Finance team against the Film and Drama team.
At halftime, Li Zhen came over with water, smiling and revealing her little fangs, "School prince, want water? This is loving Cupid's water..."
Back then he had glanced at Li Zhen and declined the water.
Li Zhen's hand hung in midair, rather embarrassed, "Hey, give me some face, school prince."
A guy from the Film and Drama team ran over, using his jersey to wipe the sweat from his face. He took the water from Li Zhen's hand, smiling, "Li Zhen, I'll take it, I'm quite thirsty."
The next second, Yu Sheng snatched the water from the guy's hand.
The 500ml water, he finished in one gulp, and threw the empty bottle at the guy's feet with a "thud".
The guy's expression changed several times before he finally gritted his teeth and left.
Yu Sheng got up to return to the game. His hard, sweaty arm was gently held by a soft, clean little hand. "School prince, wait, do you...think I look good today?"
His arm suddenly felt scalding hot.
Hotter than the 42 degree weather that day, almost unbearable.
He didn't look at Li Zhen, staring straight at the court, shaking her hand off his arm, his voice hoarse, "I need to get back to the game."
He didn't glance at the cheerleading squad that day at all.
Because he knew Li Zhen was there.
Afterwards, he ate barbecue and drank beer with his teammates before returning to the dorm to shower and sleep. Lying in his top bunk, he saw the game photos uploaded to their Finance class chat group.
With one glance, he saw the candid shot of Li Zhen holding his arm, looking up at him speaking.
She had her hair in high pigtails, wearing the cheer squad's white uniform. Under the super short pleated skirt, her legs were long and straight.
To get close enough to his ear, she was standing on tiptoes.
Her top was stretched taut, riding up.
Exposing a slim waist, dazzlingly fair under the sunlight.
Her fair hand held his sun-darkened arm that day, the contrast of black and white an intense male-female dynamic.
Lying in the top bunk, looking at that photo, he could still hear her soft inquiry, "School prince, do you think I look good today?"
"School prince..."
"Do I...look good?"
Young men always have endless vigor. Dorm mates often played adult videos, but Yu Sheng had little desire.
Yet now, amidst his roommates' heated discussion of the game, lying in his bunk he closed his eyes and turned over.
One hand gripped his phone tightly, veins bulging from his hand.
The other hand reached under his covers...
"Yu Sheng, I'm asking you, does this dress look good?" In the VIP room, Li Zhen was out of patience and asked again.
"Young Master Yu..." The manager smiled and gently reminded, "You and Ms. Li look so well matched in these outfits. Shall we finalize these two for tonight?"
Only then did Yu Sheng return to his senses, realizing he had already walked up to Li Zhen.
The immature girl from seven years ago with her hair in a ponytail.
Seven years later, her features fully blossomed into bewitching beauty.
"Good," Yu Sheng stood before her, his gaze deeply fixed on her, "This one."
This woman.
Everything was perfectly fated.
"Click", the manager smiled and snapped a photo.

The city's south side where Honghai Group was located had an international metropole ambience. At rush hour, luxury cars streamed by and crowds bustled.
After work, Wang Peng got into Lu Yanming's car to go eat dinner together. "Yanming, which employee dorm are you staying at? Is it comfortable? If not, let me know and I'll switch you to another one."
Lu Yanming's suit was neat and prim, his scholarly temperament refined. He smiled gently, "It's fine."
His long, shapely fingers fiddled with his phone. His cool white fingertips gently caressed the screen, but his thoughts were not in the car.
What had she and him talked about at lunch today?
Last night she had returned home late again, how about tonight?
He unlocked his phone, then locked it again.
Unlocked, locked again.
In the driver's seat, Fei Chao couldn't help but purse his lips.
Young Master might be used to it, but he wasn't!
Young Master didn't know what nonsense he was up to, staying in that old residential area. He had no choice but to find a nearby hotel to stay at.
Ever since following Young Master, he had never stayed at a hotel below 5 stars. It wasn't that he couldn't handle hardship, just that the hotel had no sound insulation!
Those indecent sounds were pure torture to him.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep yet!
"You young people, I just don't understand, but if you ever find it uncomfortable, be sure to let me know." Wang Peng laughed and took out his phone.
He had two years until retirement, so his pace of life had slowed down. He loved browsing his phone whenever he had free time.
"Oh..." Wang Peng's motions suddenly paused, "Young Master Yu who never posts actually shared a photo of his wife."
Glancing at Wang Peng's phone, Lu Yanming's tranquil gaze froze for a second.
