“Do I know?” Lin Zhiyun was caught off guard. “Brother Dadong, what are you talking about?”
“I mean, do you know Yang Ming’s personality? And the people he usually gets in contact with…” Li Dadong hinted.
“I know… He is my boyfriend. How can I not know him?” Lin Zhiyun was baffled, but still, she replied.
“Do you know that Yang Ming had other girlfriends outside?!” Li Dadong glanced at the security guards outside the door. Although he knew they couldn’t hear him, he kept his voice down.
“I…” Lin Zhiyun was shocked. Could it be that Li Dadong knew something? Lin Zhiyun’s face became pale and she didn’t know how to answer Li Dadong’s question.
Her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming was really wonderful. They were acting as a couple but they weren’t much different from a real couple. At least, Lin Zhiyun felt that men and women in love probably had this feeling, right?
Sometimes Lin Zhiyun would be confused, but in most cases, she would act dumb. She didn’t want to think about the future of the two people. In fact, she was really unwilling to think about it.
Her mom was a very conservative person. In her opinion, a girl should stick with one to the end. With my relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming, my mother had no choice but to accept it. But if I really broke up with Yang Ming, my mother wouldn’t be able to accept it.
Lin Zhiyun also knew it very well. Her first time was indeed with Yang Ming. In her subconscious, she also hoped that she could pretend with Yang Ming forever.
However, there was always a big gap between facts and the ideal. When Lin Zhiyun learned from Yang Ming that Chen Mengyan already knew of her existence, Lin Zhiyun had a great sense of crisis, even a sense of guilt.
Lin Zhiyun never thought about occupying Yang Ming. If she had such an idea, she would already have threatened Yang Ming with the incident in the past. The current situation had already made her feel very satisfied.
However, Lin Zhiyun also knew that the current satisfaction could only be temporary. Let Yang Ming pretend to be her own boyfriend for a lifetime. Even if Yang Ming agreed, would Chen Mengyan agree?
Lin Zhiyun who had been reminding herself that she couldn’t fall in love with Yang Ming. When she looked back, she realized that Yang Ming had occupied a big position in her heart.
These words couldn’t be said to Li Dadong. Although Lin Zhiyun regarded Li Dadong as her own brother, some of her things were quite private. Never mind Li Dagong, she couldn’t even say it to her parents!
Lin Zhiyun couldn’t explain the cause and effect of the story to Li Dadong. Otherwise, Li Dadong would definitely ask. When we were in high school, I always noticed you were at school. How did you find yourself a boyfriend? Who did you give your first time to?
Lin Zhiyun couldn’t answer them. She couldn’t even tell the truth about the happenings. Somehow, Lin Zhiyun tried to maintain Yang Ming’s image and didn’t want to let people know that there was still an unpleasant relations.h.i.+p between the two.
“Zhiyun? What’s wrong with you?” Seeing Lin Zhiyun’s somewhat overwhelmed expression, Li Dadong thought she was shocked by his own news and quickly said, “Zhiyun, I just found out. My brother is Yang Ming’s high school cla.s.smate. The relations.h.i.+p between the two is great. Yang Ming, in addition to you, has a girlfriend outside called Chen Mengyan!”
“I… I know…” Lin Zhiyun was troubled by Li Dagang. She had to force herself to answer.
“What? You knew already?” Li Dadong looked at Lin Zhiyun in shock. “Zhiyun, what did you say? Did you hear what I said?”
“…” Lin Zhiyun didn’t know how to answer Li Dadong. The intricacies in the middle were only known to the person in the incident.
“Zhiyun, can you please talk?” Li Dadong hurried.
“Brother Dadong, for this matter, can you stop bothering me in the future… I… I, Ai, some happenings, I can’t say…” Lin Zhiyun replied bitterly as she shook her head, “Stop pus.h.i.+ng me…”
“Zhiyun, why are you so stupid? You… what do you want me to say? You really p.i.s.s me off…” Li Dadong said with a sour face, “Is he holding you hostage with something? Blackmailing you?”
Li Dadong noticed Lin Zhiyun’s distressed look and his heart fluttered. Now, news about nude pictures and nude picture discs were spreading around. Could Yang Ming also have taken a video or photo and used it to blackmail Lin Zhiyun?
It wasn’t Li Dadong’s fault for his rich imagination. These kinds of happenings actually happened. On the contrary, there were many of them.
With regards to blackmail, Lin Zhiyun should have blackmailed Yang Ming, right? But Lin Zhiyun didn’t want to take advantage of Yang Ming through it. She shook her head and said, “Brother Dadong, don’t make silly guesses anymore. It isn’t like what you think…”
“What silly guess? Don’t be afraid, Zhiyun. If there is anything, Brother Dadong will help you!” Li Dadong said, “Let’s go and sue him…”
“What are you suing for…?” Lin Zhiyun bit her lips and muttered after a long while, “I… I’m a concubine… you… Do you understand?”
“Concubine?” Li Dadong was shocked. He immediately understood what Lin Zhiyun said. Lin Zhiyun meant that she was the real third party, Yang Ming’s mistress, or a little lover…
This made Li Dadong feel inexplicable! With his eyes wide open, Li Dadong stared at Lin Zhiyun! Lin Zhiyun was an obedient kid with good character and academics since childhood. She had never done anything unusual. Moreover, although her character was somewhat weak, she had strong principles. She wouldn’t do anything that would violate her principle!
“Zhiyun, you… how did you become like this?” Li Dadong was so angry and shocked that he was trembling.
Lin Zhiyun looked at Li Dadong’s expression and knew that if she didn’t tell him the real situation today, he would definitely not give up. He might even have to go to her parents. With that, it would cause big trouble!
So, after thinking about it in quite a while, she said faintly, “At the beginning… my father had a car accident. He was in need of surgery urgently. My mother and I had tried to borrow money from friends and relatives from whom we could borrow money. But those people would say they had no money or they would give a bunch of reasons… It couldn’t be helped. I’m a girl. What capital do I have?
“Having nowhere to go about it, I can only betray myself… I forced myself to the door of the bar… I wanted to find a guest to sell my first time…”
“Zhiyun, how can you do this? Didn’t I say that I would be a home tutor? I could certainly give you enough surgery funds!” Li Dadong seemed rowdy and shouted.
“Be a home tutor…” Lin Zhiyun smiled and laughed at herself, “I have also done home tutoring. It is already good enough if I can earn a few hundred yuan a month. For a surgery fee more than 3,000 yuan, how long would I need to work to get that amount? The surgery couldn’t wait…”
Li Dadong was silent. He knew Lin Zhiyun was telling the truth. Indeed, how could the surgery wait?
“The person who took my first time was Yang Ming…” Lin Zhiyun said vaguely. Lin Zhiyun wasn’t good at lying, and the twists and turns in the middle couldn’t be said in detail, but only in one word.
“I understand…” Li Dadong lowered his head. That was an indescribable pain on his face. He said after a pause, “But this doesn’t mean anything. I can understand your feelings at the time. You… you don’t owe him anything. You can leave him! And… and I don’t dislike you because of this…”
Li Dadong spoke his own inner voice. Indeed, Lin Zhiyun was forced by life circ.u.mstances to do that kind of thing. Li Dadong could tolerate it completely.
” Ah …” Lin Zhiyun smiled and said, “Thank you, Brother Dadong. Just as I said… between the two of us, it’s only a brother and sister relations.h.i.+p.”
“I… I’m just making an a.n.a.logy…” Li Dadong said in embarra.s.sment, “I want to say. In this era, whether the girl is pure or not… it isn’t important…”
“I am with Yang Ming… because… I… I can’t bear to leave him…” After Lin Zhiyun said this sentence, she was also shocked! The feeling hidden under her heart was finally released in an instant. “I… I like him.”
“But, you’re doing this. Isn’t it… Ai, what do you want me to say…” Li Dadong sighed and looked at Lin Zhiyun. “So you want to keep going like this?”
“I will take one step at a time…” Lin Zhiyun shook her head.
“Does Uncle Lin and Aunty Shen know about this?” Li Dadong asked quietly.
“They don’t know. I don’t want them to know…” Lin Zhiyun shook her head again. “They just know that Yang Ming is my boyfriend, and we started since high school…”
“You don’t regret it?” Li Dadong looked up and made his final attempt.
“No,” said Lin Zhiyun firmly. Since I forgave Yang Ming’s actions, I have not regretted it.
