DEAN HAD BEEN DOING OKAY with his life. His parents were always checking on him, reminding him that they love him and that he will always be missed in Kupivoc.
His days were never boring with Denise pestering him in his dorm room almost every other day, as if afraid he would suddenly hang himself. While Shi Bai would send him strange things, such as a CD Drama of two guys going at it, which she fussed about for days.
But who was Dean to refute when even if he did, every single time, both Denise and Shi Bai never gave him peace.
He even begun calling them the 'Twin Hurricane', but he was honestly glad with their noise that kept him away from thinking about a particular devil.
In his sleep, he would see her frost-cold eyes. And when simply making tea, he could instantly imagine being back in her library. Digits reminded him of her, especially money.
So he begun using credit cards instead.
And he also avoided anything to do with the word 'tea'.
Every night, before he went to bed, he would read some mind-bugling books to keep his mind clear off of her.
He had tried very hard to forget her for days, months and it was only a few more months to make it a year. Still, he can feel that same pain in his chest from time to time.
Will he ever be free of her?
"Dean?" A familiar baritone voice called.
Dean turned around to be met with a sweaty Denise, as if he had just gone for a run. "Sup?" He asked Denise, curious what was up this time.
Denise flashed a handsome smile, his dark brown eyes sparkled. "I just wanted to see you, s'll."
Dean frowned, turning around to walk away.
Denise followed after him, crossing his hands over his head as he stared up at the clear sky. "You are moving up a year soon."
"Hn."
"Which path are you choosing?"
"You don't need to know, professor."
"Right, right. Then what do you want to eat?"
"None of your business either."
"Ahhh. So it's crab this time."
"...." Dean ignored Denise like a fly that he was.
"Got it right again. I'm so good at this."
Dean was not sure how Denise could guess his meal plan every single time. He doesn't even keep any written schedule of it anywhere.
And he refuses to believe that telepathy is real!
"And what if it is?" Denise suddenly asked.
Dean's breath hitched. He turned to face Denise incredulously.
Denise smirked, revealing a set of deep dimples. "Of course not." He chuckled at the sight of Dean's bewilderment and saw him turn around without saying a word.
"You should be careful of going home at night!" Denise reminded to the fading Dean whose steps hastened with his temper.

Ying Yue was released by Lishi Liu from imprisonment, claiming her son his'. Although surprised how Lishi found out, Ying Yue was happy for being released before 2 years her term.
When the news was released, everyone in D City was shocked.
Ying Yue was not even half Lishi's age, and now she just suddenly became his wife!
When Ying Yue was brought home after being married without a ceremony, she was still pleasantly bewildered, taking everything in as her fortune.
She had only slept with Lishi thrice, all of which, she made sure the condoms had holes in them. She didn't care if he was much older than her because he was the father of the Emperor!
Hence, she was to be Fei Long's mother, and her child his step-brother. She was delighted for this fortune.
She met Lishi the first time she also met the Emperor. She approached him first because her true aim was the Emperor, but to her delight, he was actually quite smitten with her. After the incident in Matheus' family villa, she climbed on Lishi's bed to keep their connection in tact. Especially since she was afraid she had lost the Emperor then.
She actually quite liked sleeping with him because he was much more experienced than the younger men she'd slept with. And now that she was his wife... she wouldn't mind indulging his whims.
Ying Yue was ushered into her bedroom, which was only beside her husband's. After she was left with what little baggage she had, she shut her door and spread herself on her soft bed. She was finally somewhere comfortable, completely different from the stone cold and dirty floor in her cell.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
She closed her eyes to think, her lips curving into a pretty smile.
"Feng Mian..." She softly whispered. If nobody had known what she was thinking, they would have thought she was whispering her lover's name.
— Knock — Her doorknob turned, revealing Lishi in his clean suit. He looked quite suave despite his age, which was 53. When she looked to him, her smile deepened alluringly, as if finally seeing the love of her life.
Even though Ying Yue's appearance diminished, her eyes were still her most powerful asset. They were limpid and bright, glimmering with innocence that nobody can just discern.
Lishi chuckled, striding towards Ying Yue's bed.
He stroked her soft hair before bringing his hand over her chin, lifting it ever so gently and bringing his lips onto her's. Their kiss was not brief as he smothered her with his saliva.
She moaned in good time, allowing him to feel good with what he was doing to her.
Slowly, he found himself tangled with her soft and young body that couldn't even be described as one that had just birthed. He was lost in her techniques, forgetting the real purpose of his first visit after their shared kiss.
It was as if, just from looking into her eyes, he was mesmerized into her world. It was not love, but lust. However, for some, there was no difference.
Later, because of her skillful white lotus act, Lishin was totally under her leash. The old man couldn't even bare to find any other woman to bed as he has a wife with great skills. He almost always went to heaven at night, or sometimes even during the day.
* * *
Ying Yue worked her charm and made it possible for her to access Lishi's savings account, making it possible for her to hire special agents and her supporters left in the Zhao Family.
Apparently, since she was imprisoned, the CEO position went to one of her cousins who was only a little older than her. And now that she was back, they didn't plan on simply handing the position to her again.
However, Lishi was not her husband in name only.
With his threat, her cousin totally gave up the CEO position in one day. There was not even a struggle, and those who were reluctant to reconnect with her again finally made their decision to boot lick after her again.
Even her mother talked to her once, informing her of her father's situation. She was requested to meet her father in prison, for he had something very important to tell.
She couldn't find time to visit her father in the week that came afterwards, for she was too busy seducing and plotting.
For her dreams of humiliating Feng Mian and bringing 'her' to the depths of hell, she did her best to damage Feng Mian's businesses.
Such as, assigning professionals to visit Feng Mian's Food establishments and cause embarrassing scenes, blaming the workers for things they didn't do, ruining the cook's reputation, or even deliberate food poisoning.
As for other gigs, she paid people to send complaints about the products and she also paid for all the products that were bought or ordered.
She also bought a small Call Centre to keep Feng Mian's online services busy, rousing the real customers' ire and frustration.
Not only did she target the money making companies but also the Sunshine Orphanage. She hired thugs to beat up the children and forced them to point their fingers to the ones working in higher echelon.
In only a month, Feng Mian's reputation had become so stinky.
But she was not even done yet.

Fei Long can be seen walking around his office, his brows scrunched up as his face looked demonic.
His assistant at the side didn't know what to do. He only knew that his master heard of a terrible news. A news so terrible that the whole D City might just flipped in a matter of days.
"M-master—"
"BE QUIET!" Fei Long growled, his electric blue eyes were dark with ire.
His assistant immediately covered his mouth, shifting closer to the wall of the office. He was sweating in trepidation, but a thought suddenly brightened his small eyes.
At a moment when his master was not aware, he sent a brief message to a certain number and hid away his phone once again.
A minute later, Fei Long's mobile phone rang, and at the same time, the heavy tension in the air lessened down to 0.
His mellow voice said, "..Mian? Is something the matter?"
His assistant gaped, making sure he remembered to do the same thing the next time his master was fuming mad or upset. He listened to his master's voice very carefully, making sure he could understand what the other end was saying as well, but from where he was, he couldn't make out anything!
Fei Long replied to the other side of the phone, his voice gentle like water and sweet like honey.
"Ehn... I know... Yea... O-okay... I understand...."
It seemed like he was receiving some instructions, but the call did not end there.
"I did... What?!"
The whole office grew still, but flowers seemed to rise from everywhere as his smile deepened. It was as if the sun had visited the office, except not melting everything in proximity. His eyes brightened and his previously tensed muscles found their release.
"...I.. I don't know what to say... What? No!"
"Mian... That's not what I mean... You know I love you.."
"I really do... Okay... Do whatever you want. Fine."
"Ehn... I'll do what you say..."
"...I.. love you." He whispered, totally being consumed by his own embarrassment, still not used to repeating the phrase despite his heart beating it every minute of the day.
When he finally put down his phone and secured it in his inner pocket, he moved to his desk with his eyes sparkling with life and his steps invoking Spring.
His assistant drooled from leaving his mouth wide open.
Days after the call, Liu Corporation had a scandalous overhaul!

Dean was in his dorm room that has two beds, but he never wanted anyone else with him.
Shi Bai was visiting and although it was a male dorm, it was not a problem if there was a special permission, and as long as the female visitor was kept away from trouble.
She was sketching on her Electronic Sketch Pad and listening to some erotic BL CD Drama. All the while, Dean was at a corner of his own room, trying to concentrate on programming an application that can allow users to expose all financial history that has been recorded in the government's system.
This was totally illegal but Dean was so bored.
Suddenly, he heard Shi Bai muttered, "Would it be good if Gu Han Yan go for a threesome with Gu Han Yu and Bi Ling Xiao?"
Dean was troubled by Shi Bai's vulgar language that he couldn't help but look up. "Three is no good." He quietly said.
Shi Bai must have paused her erotic CD Drama because she took off her headphone when Dean gave his opinion. Her phoenix green eyes gazed at him with contemplation before crawling to his side.
She looked quite scary, crawling on the floor, making Dean subconsciously shiver. His eyes reproachful of her coming.
But Shi Bai merely smiled at Dean as she sat beside him, their shoulder's bumping from time to time as she rocked her bottom from side to side.
Dean was not amuse, but Shi Bai continued to flash him a smile that was like Spring.
However, that peace cracked upon her words, "Denise likes you~"
"......" Dean was glaring daggers at Shi Bai, hoping she would burn and disappear in moments.
"You shouldn't quickly dismiss people for what they could be, especially towards your life." Shi Bai profoundly said, her green eyes were very clear and vibrant.
"...Why must you trouble yourself?"
"Why indeed~ Why do you not help yourself?"
"....." Dean turned his head back to his laptop like he never heard Shi Bai talk.
"Dean Argus. She doesn't need you... And you don't need her."
Dean snapped. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!"
Shi Bai's smile deepened as she said, "Oh... I know quite a lot."
When her words were spoken, they sounded like there was a whole deeper meaning. But Dean was too mad to think more about the importance of her words.
If only he knew the truth, he would have never pushed her away then.
"GET OUT!!" He exclaimed, not waiting for Shi Bai to say anything and threw her stuffs outside his door, shutting her out with a bang.
