Chapter 35: An Unforgettable Day!

  "Unfortunately, it wasn't you, accompanying me to the end. We once walked together but lost our way at that intersection. Thank you for being you..." As she listened to Liang Jingru's "Unfortunately, It Wasn't You", Xu's face was already covered in tears. She hadn't cried like this in a long time. She still remembered the last time she cried, it was the day she divorced Song Fan, but that time it was more anger than sadness. This time, however, she was heartbroken. She knew she had already fallen for Zhang Ziheng. But she didn't have the qualifications to receive his love, nor did she have the courage to express her feelings.

  The song was still playing, and Director Xu cried more and more sorrowfully, finally burying his face in the table and bursting into loud sobs. She never could have imagined that she would fall for a man so much younger than herself, let alone that the person she fell for would already have a girlfriend. This was simply heaven playing tricks on her - why couldn't she get a perfect love? Why did she always have to suffer emotional pain?

  The sound of crying replaced the singing, and tears gushed out like a burst dam. At this moment, Director Xu had lost her usual strong woman posture, now she was just a woman, a simple woman, a heartbroken woman.

  Zhang Ziheng nervously opened the door, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Wang Xue rushing towards him. She suddenly threw herself into his arms, like a child, and coquettishly said: "Where did you go? Do you know how worried I was about you?"

  Zhang Ziheng sighed and closed the door behind him, patting her back and saying, "Nothing, just feeling a bit stuffy in my heart, so I went to find a place to eat a big meal."

  "Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken like that. But at the time, I was really furious, so what I said didn't go through my brain. You won't blame me, will you?" Wang Xue pouted and looked up at him.

  Seeing Wang Xue like this, Zhang Ziheng felt even more that he was not a good person. In fact, what Wang Xue said was right, he had indeed strayed from the path, and he did have feelings for Xu Zong, so she wasn't wrong to scold him. But now, making her apologize to him instead, how could Zhang Ziheng bear it?

  "Silly girl, why would I blame you? This matter is over and we won't mention it again." Zhang Ziheng gently patted Wang Xue's cheek and smiled.

  Wang Xue gave a sweet smile, tiptoed and kissed Zhang Ziheng's face, saying: "Ziheng, you're really good. Don't worry, from now on I won't have any more princess-like temper, I'll listen to everything you say, and I won't interfere with your relationship with President Xu either. You're right, President Xu is such a good person, it's not wrong for you to treat her like a sister, since you treat her like a sister, then she's my sister too, how can I be jealous of my own sister? Hehe."

  Zhang Ziheng bit his lip, and his eyes were slightly moist. He forced a smile and tightly hugged Wang Xue in his arms.

  "Ah, right, you must be hungry? I was worried that you hadn't eaten, so I've been waiting until now." Wang Xue hastily said. "The dishes might have gone cold, let me go heat them up for you, wait a moment."

  "It's alright, Xue Er, just eat like this." Zhang Zi Heng said as he held her back.

  Wang Xue smiled happily and said, "Don't worry about it, wait for me, I'll be right back." After finishing speaking, she turned around to heat up the dishes.

  Zhang Ziheng was now almost hating himself to death. He slammed his briefcase heavily on the bed, and then gave himself a hard slap in the face. Such a good girlfriend, he had actually cheated on her, and even worse, he had gone out and gotten intimate with another woman. This...this was simply unforgivable. The more Zhang Ziheng thought about it, the more he felt like he wasn't human, that he should be taken out and shot.

  Maybe it wasn't until now that he realized, after all this time, he had grown accustomed to Wang Xue. If she were gone, he really didn't know what he would do. Maybe he had already fallen in love with her, but just hadn't known it yet.

  Although he ate a lot at Director Xu's home, Zhang Ziheng couldn't bear to see Wang Xue's long face and wolfed down all the dishes on the table.

  Seeing Zhang Ziheng's adorable eating expression, Wang Xue was overjoyed in her heart. He didn't blame himself, actually he liked himself. Thinking of this, Wang Xue's face turned red with embarrassment.

  After dinner, Zhang Ziheng tidied up his work materials and saw that it was getting late, so he took a bath and prepared to sleep. When he came out of the bathroom, he found that his pillow and quilt had been placed on the bed at some point. Wang Xue was standing beside the bed, wearing that semi-transparent nightgown, looking at him with a shy expression.

  Zhang Ziheng was slightly stunned and walked over foolishly, saying: "Xue'er, this..."

  "Don't sleep on the sand anymore, you're so tall and the sand is so short, it must be very uncomfortable for you to sleep on top of it." Wang Xue said softly, fiddling with her sleeve corners and lowering her head.

  "But... but wouldn't that be a bit too much? After all... after all, we're just boyfriend and girlfriend now, shouldn't that kind of thing wait until we're married?" Zhang Ziheng said with dry lips as he gazed at Wang Xueruo's vaguely visible body.

  Wang Xue smiled and raised her head to look at him, using her index finger to poke his forehead and said: "Look at your silly face, hehe."

  "Uh... how about this? We'll sleep on opposite sides and just keep sleeping until dawn, okay?" Zhang Ziheng said after some thought.

  Wang Xue smiled and shook her head, saying: "Do you want to put a bowl of water in between or not? Fool, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai were also sleeping on opposite sides at first, but how did it end up?"

  "Huh? Th-th-that..."

  "Alright, forget it. I can tell by your expression that you don't have the guts. Go to sleep, it's late." Wang Xue said as she got into bed first.

  Zhang Ziheng nodded and also got on the bed. However, Zhang Ziheng's bed was a bit small, it was a bed that was slightly larger than a single bed, if two people really didn't have any physical contact, then about one-third of Zhang Ziheng's body would be suspended in mid-air outside the bed.

  Looking at him so miserable, Wang Xue smiled angrily and said: "Don't be like this, okay? I'm your girlfriend, not a tiger, what are you afraid of me eating you? Come on, hug me to sleep. Besides, I won't sleep if I don't hold something at night."

  Zhang Ziheng was startled and thought for a moment before saying, "Don't you sleep with that teddy bear every night? Can you still sleep with it?"

  "You... idiot, I'm holding it so you won't drop it on the ground, hurry up." Wang Xue said with a frown.

  Zhang Ziheng thought for a moment, then leaned in towards Wang Xue. Wang Xue smiled slightly and nestled into his arms, quietly closing her eyes.

  He was holding such a beautiful girl in his arms, wearing a semi-transparent nightgown, and smelling the fragrance emanating from her body. Zhang Ziheng couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. After all, he was also a man, and still so young - to say he had no reaction would be a lie. In this world, there wasn't a single man who was like Liu Xiahui; such men had long since become extinct. Although Zhang Ziheng was an honest good person, everyone has their needs, unless he wasn't a normal human being.

  Looking at Wang Xue's lovely lips, Zhang Ziheng couldn't help but feel a little itchy in his heart and was stunned. Just then, Wang Xue suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him with a playful expression. Zhang Ziheng was startled, his face turned red instantly, and he hurriedly closed his eyes, not daring to look at her.

  Wang Xue smiled and gently pinched his nose, saying: "You're topping me."

  "Ah?" Zhang Ziheng smiled awkwardly and said: "Right, sorry, I..."

  "What's the point of saying sorry? You're my boyfriend, don't always say sorry." Wang Xue said with a lovely smile.

  Looking at Wang Xue's current appearance, no man can stand it, let alone Zhang Ziheng, this young and vigorous guy. Wang Xue also noticed that he was looking at her, and she felt a little shy and didn't dare to look at him. After a while, she raised her head, the two of them looked into each other's eyes, and then slowly got closer and closer, finally kissing gently. A passionate man and a passionate woman, it was late at night, and they were on the bed, who would believe that nothing happened? Just like this, Wang Xue gave her first time to Zhang Ziheng, and Zhang Ziheng also gave his first time to Wang Xue.

  Although Zhang Ziheng had a girlfriend before, at that time they were in college and both of their personalities were very simple, so the most intimate action was just hugging each other and kissing, without crossing that line. Zhang Ziheng thought he would marry Yu Jie, but no one expected them to break up in the end. It was precisely because they didn't do that kind of thing that Zhang Ziheng could bear to make the decision.

  Zhang Ziheng is a very responsible person, no matter what happens, as long as it's his fault, he will take responsibility. If he had done that thing with Bai Yujie back then, he would never have parted ways with her, even if he had to sell blood, he would still be with Yujie. Unfortunately, fate played a trick on them, and the two were unable to end up together, and just today, something happened to Zhang Ziheng that made it hard for him to forget.

  Xu's confession, the ambiguity between them, Wang Xue's change in personality, his own guilt, and finally, further development with Wang Xue. This day held great significance for Zhang Ziheng; he didn't know if he had done something wrong, but one thing was certain - he absolutely couldn't wrong Wang Xue, he had to take responsibility for her, even if she were to dump him someday, he still couldn't wrong her. That's Zhang Ziheng, a sincere yet slightly foolish big boy.

  Although Wang Xue appears to be a more outgoing girl, in her heart, she is still very cute and shy. Although she has a relationship with Zhang Ziheng, she doesn't regret it at all, because she knows that she has found the right person, someone who will never hurt her, someone she truly likes. What could be happier for a woman than this?

  At the same time, in another part of the city, there was a woman who silently wept for Zhang Ziheng, enduring the pain in her heart alone, with no one to confide in.
