Seeing Shen Yue remain silent for a long time, as if stunned, he raised a pair of handsome eyes as warm and gentle as jade, his gaze mild yet unyielding. He opened his lips and said softly, "Don't you believe me?"
Shen Yue's mind hadn't caught up yet, and she instinctively replied, "I believe you."
After saying this, she seemed to be taken aback herself. Her clean, cool eyebrows and eyes were blank and confused, making her look a little foolish.
Chang Sheng curved his beautifully shaped lips, his voice already laced with a smile. "Then answer me. I want to know your true heart."
He spoke of her true heart, not the truth. Shen Yue's brain, lacking in emotional understanding, seemed to sense something was amiss, yet there was an indescribable feeling.
Her eyelashes fluttered in a panic, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Chang Sheng gently took Shen Yue's hand, then pulled it down. His palm felt a trace of damp sweat. He looked into her beautiful, pure eyes.
His tone was gentle and soothing, "Yueyue, don't be afraid. Say what's on your mind..."
Shen Yue's fair ears were hidden beneath her dark hair, turning slightly red. The mere thought of what the system said she did yesterday made her exceptionally guilty. She truly felt she had ruined a good man, which was a grave sin.
But she genuinely couldn't remember what happened yesterday. She couldn't just make something up.
So Shen Yue pursed her lips and said honestly, "I really don't remember what happened yesterday... Did I do anything bad to you yesterday?"
Chang Sheng paused imperceptibly. The light in his eyes dimmed. Shen Yue's casual forgetting of the previous night made Chang Sheng even more unable to let go.
He touched Shen Yue's cheek with a hint of bitterness, suppressing his unwillingness and dark emotions, and asked gently, "Since you don't remember, why are you asking?"
"I..." Shen Yue's eyes darted around, finding it difficult to speak, "Because we slept together..."
Chang Sheng: "Yes, and you kissed me yesterday."
Shen Yue was choked: "..."
She! Had she really reached such a state of desperation!
To actually do such a thing, worse than a beast. Shen Yue suddenly wanted to bang her head against a piece of tofu. She was too ashamed to show her face. Her cool persona had completely shattered, never to be pieced back together.
Shen Yue was now in a state of daze, wanting to bury her face in the quilt.

Chang Sheng's voice remained gentle throughout, "You hugged me too."
Shen Yue was numb. The tips of her ears began to steam. She desperately wanted to cover Chang Sheng's mouth and stop him from talking.
His gaze lingered on her flushed ear tips. His Adam's apple bobbed. Her fingers, set against her plain white clothes, remained fair. Seeing Shen Yue's shy and helpless reaction, his earlier tension eased, and he revealed a smile. "You have to take responsibility for me."
Responsibility?
What responsibility?
If they were to be truly counted, wasn't she the one who had suffered? By rights, shouldn't Chang Sheng be the one responsible?
Bah, bah, bah! What responsibility! Chang Sheng definitely hadn't suffered.
System chuckled: [You don't really think you're a hot commodity, do you?]
Shen Yue, pure and innocent: [How did you know I'm very fragrant?]
System: ...
Shen Yue sat up in bed, her black hair cascading over her back. Her voice was serious, with a hint of barely perceptible panic. "Chang Sheng, don't talk nonsense."
Leaving this sentence, Shen Yue fumbled to get out of bed. Chang Sheng hugged her from behind, his hot, firm chest pressed against her back. She could clearly feel his heart beating.
Thump, thump, thump!
It was unclear whose heart it was.
For the first time, Shen Yue showed such an emotion. Her decades of calm seemed to have been violently disrupted by something. She was nothing but restless.
The man's chin rested on her shoulder. His warm breath puffed onto her neck, making her feel both ticklish and numb.
She closed her eyes, the scent of medicine on the man filling her nostrils.
Shen Yue couldn't bear it any longer. She wanted to escape his overly intimate and possessive embrace, but as soon as she moved, the man behind her held her even tighter. The arm around her waist tightened, leaving no gap.
"Chang Sheng..."
Utterly helpless, Shen Yue opened her eyes and quietly clenched the fabric on her knees.
Such a shy reaction greatly pleased Chang Sheng.
He smiled. His refined and jade-like face revealed a rare trace of mischief. He gently blew into Shen Yue's ear, warm and wispy. He then watched with satisfaction as her earlobes gradually turned red like blood jade. He couldn't resist sticking out his tongue and licking it lightly.
It was very soft, the skin thin and cool, like a glutinous rice cake.
Shen Yue's body froze like a statue. She had never expected the gentle-looking Chang Sheng to do such a thing in broad daylight. Shock, disbelief, and panic flashed across her face, finally turning into embarrassment and anger. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.
She held her head high, not daring to move, her ears almost bleeding red, yet she pretended to be serious.
With a stern, yet powerless voice, she coldly said, "Chang Sheng, what you're doing is wrong!"
Her words seemed to carry no weight at all, even making one want to bully her further.
But she had no idea how alluring she was, thinking she was being proper and dignified, struggling to maintain her precarious cool demeanor.
In reality, her fingers were tightly gripping the fabric, as if only this could give her some sense of security.
Xiyu Immortal Venerable was devoted to cultivation and the Tao, having purged all desires and emotions. She lived as if she were truly an immortal, and had been that way for hundreds of years.
Because of this, Xiyu was often terrifyingly slow when it came to matters of love. She was like a blank canvas, easily stained by anyone.
And now, she was like a rabbit caught by its ears, every hair on end, her hands trembling, her heart in a panic, her imposing presence gone.
Chang Sheng rubbed his face against Shen Yue's neck. Her skin was cool and smooth, with a jade-like luster, yet far more supple than jade.
He couldn't resist rubbing a few more times.
But while Chang Sheng was intently rubbing her, Shen Yue forcefully broke free from his embrace. As she took a step forward, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground.
"Yueyue!"
Chang Sheng was startled and quickly got up to help her.
But Shen Yue, like a startled rabbit, desperately shrank back, avoiding the man's hand.
Shen Yue's long eyelashes drooped, trembling continuously, casting shadows below. The corners of her eyes were red, as if she had secretly applied rouge. Her pale red eyes were as clear as glazed glass, and her lips were more vibrantly red and lustrous than cinnabar.
