Shu Ran went to Yun Li's house to look for her bag and indeed found it in the side room. She grabbed the bag and headed downstairs. As the elevator reached the first floor and opened, Shu Ran paused in her tracks.
Jiang Shiyu stood at the elevator door, and the two exchanged a tense stare.
"What are you doing here?" Shu Ran asked, stepping out of the elevator. She frowned as she noticed the keys in his hand, suddenly realizing something. "You must be the one living next to Hao Hao, right?"
Jiang Shiyu remained silent. He pressed the elevator button again, and when it opened, he stepped inside. Shu Ran followed him in. Seeing him press the button for the fifteenth floor confirmed her suspicions.
"Jiang Shiyu, even if you came all this way, it won’t matter. Hao Hao is with Fu Jing now!"
Jiang Shiyu's expression, which had been emotionless, shifted slightly at her words.
"She and Fu Jing have been flirting; they’re just one step away from breaking through that barrier. They've even exchanged suggestive photos," Shu Ran continued. "It’s clear they’re about to become a couple, so you might as well stop haunting them."
As the elevator doors opened, an icy aura seemed to emanate from Jiang Shiyu. Shu Ran didn’t follow him out but called from inside the elevator, "You’re already a thing of the past; don’t make me send you their intimate photos."
Jiang Shiyu turned around, his cold eyes locking onto hers. Shu Ran quickly pressed the close button on the elevator and slipped away.
After finishing her competition, Yun Li saw a message from Jiang Shiyu.
"When are you coming back?"
Yun Li glanced at the time; it was five in the afternoon. She replied directly, "I’ll be back tonight. No need to prepare my portion; I’ll be eating in Su City."
Yun Li bought her ticket and had dinner before heading to the airport. The flight was at seven o'clock, and by the time she arrived in Jing City, it was already past nine.
She took a taxi home and felt a bit exhausted during the ride. Once home, she washed up casually and sat on her bed to reply to Team Leader's message.
After finishing everything, she lay down and checked other messages. Jiang Shiyu still hadn’t replied.
He must still be busy!
It was past eleven when Yun Li put down her phone and prepared to sleep when the doorbell rang.
Yun Li suddenly became alert. Who could it be at this late hour? Thinking it might be Jiang Shiyu, she called to confirm.
The call connected quickly, and Yun Li asked, "Is that you at the door?"
A faint reply came through, "Mm."
Yun Li sighed in relief and settled into a more comfortable position, lazily saying, "I'm going to sleep now. You can handle it yourself tonight!"
On the other end, he simply replied, "Open the door."
Yun Li frowned and said, "No way! It's too late!" After saying that, she hung up, feeling that something was off about him.
As she pondered this, she thought she heard a noise from the balcony, and her nerves tightened. She straightened up; wearing a spaghetti strap nightgown made of smooth fabric, one of the straps slipped down as someone knocked on her bedroom door.
"It's me."
Yun Li's heart began to settle back down. She replied irritably, "Are you out of your mind? You scared me in the middle of the night!"
Jiang Shiyu fell silent for two seconds before realizing he had made a mistake. He lowered his gaze and apologized softly, "Sorry."
He had held back for so long, but he couldn't resist coming back to find her after what Shu Ran had said. The impact of her words left him restless and eager to see her.
"Can I come in?"
"No, you need to go. If you try to climb in through the balcony again, I'll call the police and let them teach you a lesson."
There was silence outside. Yun Li knew he hadn't left. With a sigh of resignation, she got up and opened the door. In the darkness, she couldn't see his expression clearly until she turned on the bedroom light.
Only then did she notice Jiang Shiyu looking down at her with bloodshot eyes; he seemed unwell and carried an air of obsession as if he was holding back something intense.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Jiang Shiyu's gaze held a fierce intensity as he reached for her waist. His lips brushed against her earlobe as he murmured in a low voice, "Are you still in contact with Fu Jing?"
Yun Li felt a tickle in her ear and instinctively pulled away; his question struck her as strange.
"Weren't we supposed to have rules? We can't interfere in each other's lives."
Ignoring her words, Jiang Shiyu pressed on relentlessly, "Have you two exchanged photos?"
His voice was cold and laced with anger.
Yun Li thought about the many photos they had taken before. She had sent him quite a few, but it seemed there were still some she had forgotten to share.
"Yeah! There are still so many I haven't sent. I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it," she replied.
"Move aside, I'm going to send them to him," she said.
As soon as Jiang Shiyu heard this, his eyes turned a fierce shade of red. He pushed her deeper into the room, pinning her against the wall and forcing her legs apart with his knee, trapping her in place.
He kissed her fiercely, and Yun Li winced at the pain from his bite, frowning in resistance.
Jiang Shiyu buried his face in the soft curve of her neck, leaving marks on her skin. "What are you doing?" Yun Li protested, trying to push him away.
He looked up at her, his eyes filled with a fierce intensity that made Yun Li tremble in fear. Her lips quivered slightly as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion. "You just like to bully me, don't you?"
Seeing tears welling up in her eyes, the harshness in Jiang Shiyu's gaze began to fade. He embraced Yun Li, feeling lost and helpless. "I didn't mean to bully you. I just feel bad."
Yun Li pushed him away. "Get off me; I don't want you touching me."
Reluctantly, he released her. She ran to the bed and wrapped herself tightly in the blanket.
Jiang Shiyu approached and crouched down beside the curled-up blanket, coaxing her gently. "Please don’t be angry anymore. It’s all my fault."
Yun Li ignored him, refusing to respond.
His throat tightened as he spoke hoarsely, "You shouldn’t send those kinds of photos; they’re not good for you."
Yun Li looked at him in confusion, thinking he was being unreasonable. There were countless people taking photos in the world, and no one said it was wrong.
Jiang Shiyu clenched his fists, his voice growing colder. "You can't do that."
Yun Li was nearly furious now; she straightened up and took out her phone. "I’m going to send them anyway; what does it have to do with you?"
Jiang Shiyu's voice was laced with restrained anger as he warned, "Yun Li, don’t you dare."
Ignoring him completely, she unlocked her phone and found Fu Jing's chat window when Jiang Shiyu snatched the phone from her hand and threw it away.
His chest heaved with anger, pain stabbing at his heart as he watched Yun Li’s eyes glisten with unshed tears, defiantly meeting his gaze.
Suppressing his temper, Jiang Shiyu said to her softly, "What kind of man asks you to send private photos? You’re not a teenage girl anymore; don’t you understand this?"
Yun Li furrowed her brows even deeper. "Who told you they were private photos?"
