During dinner, Eisen drank a few too many glasses of wine, and with the soft embrace of a beauty in his arms, his thoughts naturally wandered.
As the saying goes, when one is full and warm, other desires arise.
He set down his chopsticks and, holding his beloved, eagerly returned to his room.
As night slowly descended, two beauties nearly bickered at the doorway, arguing over who would accompany Eisen for a night of romantic pleasure.
Eisen found himself in a difficult position; both sisters were beautiful, and he wanted both.
However, before leaving, his father had specifically warned him not to get too wild. A double rendezvous was out of the question; it would bring shame upon the family if it were discovered.
So, he looked left and right, and finally chose the one on his left.
"It'll be you."
The beautiful elder sister on the left immediately smiled. The one on the right, her face sulky, shot a glare at her left counterpart and stomped away.
Their companionship with Eisen was consensual, of course, so there was no groveling or subservience. They often acted as they pleased.
Eisen wasn't bothered. He embraced his chosen beauty and went into the room, heading straight for the large bed.
A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold.
As night deepened, an hour later, as everyone was preparing to sleep, a sudden shriek was heard, like a woman's voice.
Everyone immediately got up to see what was happening.
Upon opening the door, they saw Shen Qingqing leaning against the doorway. She was wearing a wine-red sleep dress, the fabric on her shoulder slowly sliding down, threatening to reveal her charms.
A large hand appeared just in time, grabbing the fabric to conceal her fair skin.
Everyone instinctively felt a sense of regret, while also marveling inwardly at how smooth her skin must be if even the thin fabric couldn't stay put.
Shen Qingqing leaned into the man behind her. Though his muscles were firm, they were far more comfortable than the doorframe.
"What's all the commotion?"
Her languid demeanor exuded a captivating allure.
The onlookers couldn't help but stare.
The next moment, her figure was enveloped by a black trench coat. The man holding her surveyed the surroundings with a cold gaze, speaking no words.
Those who met his eyes quickly looked away.
Fu Jingshu lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "The noise seems to be coming from Eisen's room."
As soon as he spoke, a woman rushed down. Her clothes were disheveled, and she muttered as she ran, tidying her attire.
"He looks strong and tall, but turns out to be useless!"
Everyone gasped.
This woman was with Eisen. Was she implying that Eisen was useless?
"What nonsense are you spouting?!"
Everyone watched as Eisen chased after her from upstairs, his upper body bare, wearing only shorts. His slippers were on the wrong feet.
He must have come down in a hurry, his face a mask of fury.
The woman stopped and retorted angrily, "You are useless! I thought you were so capable, but you couldn't even get it up!"
"You're talking rubbish!"
Eisen's face turned beet red.
To be told he "couldn't get it up" in front of so many people was no different from being publicly humiliated.
A deep sense of shame!
Whispers began to circulate among the crowd, as if they truly believed he was impotent.
He strode forward, grabbing the woman's wrist. "Come on, let's go back and try, and I'll show you if I'm impotent or not!"
The woman struggled frantically. She had only blurted it out in a moment of anger.
If she went back with him, regardless of whether he was impotent, wouldn't she get beaten?
Unable to break free, in a fit of rage, she bit him before managing to escape. Without a word, she turned and ran.
Eisen winced in pain. When he looked up, the woman had already fled.
The opportune moment for pursuit had been missed.
He turned back and was nearly driven to madness again. Everyone's gaze was subtly fixed on him. Though their expressions seemed serious, their eyes...
They were all looking at his lower half. What was that supposed to mean?!
His anger flared, and his hair felt like it was standing on end. He couldn't understand why this had happened.
He could only turn and walk back to his room with heavy steps.
But upon returning to his room and seeing the disheveled bed, he felt a surge of frustration. Everything had been going well just moments ago; they were both getting into the mood.
Who would have thought that at that very moment, the woman had noticed his lack of response?
Eisen had broken out in a sweat from his own urgency. Now that he thought about it, something was very wrong. Last night, he had been full of vigor.
Why the sudden...
Something was amiss!
He suddenly remembered that during dinner, Shen Qingqing had walked past him from behind. She seemed to have done something... Had she poisoned him?
It must have been!
He put on his clothes and, filled with rage, stormed off to find Shen Qingqing. Everyone else had returned to their rooms, and the second-floor corridor was quiet.
Not wanting to wake the others, and finding the matter embarrassing to discuss openly, he patiently knocked on her door.
After a while, someone opened the door with light footsteps. It was Shen Qingqing, her hands tucked into her sleep dress, her eyes still heavy with sleep. "What is it?"
Eisen, who had been about to unleash a torrent of fury, found his anger involuntarily subsuppressed when facing the beauty. He simply stared at her with a dark expression.
"What happened just now, was that your doing?"
Shen Qingqing let out a soft hum. "Hmm? What are you talking about?"
She appeared genuinely confused, but upon closer inspection, Eisen realized that wasn't the case. A hint of a playful smile played on her lips.
This confirmed his suspicion.
"You did it! What did you do behind my back during dinner? Did you poison me?"
Shen Qingqing covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. "What are you saying? Without evidence, don't slander me. Be careful, I'll sue you for defamation."
"You think I'm afraid of you?"
Her leisurely and relaxed demeanor stood in stark contrast to Eisen, who was suffering from a physical problem and dared not make a fuss, his stomach churning with anger.
He was truly infuriated. "It must have been you. If you poisoned me, the hospital can find out. Come with me, and once I find out, I'll sue you and turn you in to the police!"
Shen Qingqing showed no fear. "What if I told you it was retribution? Would you believe me?"
"Don't try to trick me!"
Eisen, having lived this long, was a materialist. He didn't believe in heaven, hell, or retribution.
Those were words for the weak.
Shen Qingqing snorted. "Then you try and see if you can still... stand up."
Her gaze drifted downwards slightly, and then she turned to leave.
Eisen immediately grabbed her, but before he could touch her, a slender hand reached out from the side and gripped his. He hadn't seen the hand exert any particular force, yet he felt a searing pain.
"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts, it hurts!"
Shen Qingqing's delicate hand rested on the larger one, pulling it down. She glanced at Eisen and said coolly, "I advise you to see a doctor quickly."
Her words jolted Eisen back to reality. The other party was unwilling to provide an antidote, so he had to seek medical help first.
Any further delay would only cause him more suffering!
Seeing him leave, Fu Jingshu let out a cold huff, still somewhat displeased. Then, a soft warmth nestled into his embrace. He narrowed his eyes slightly and held her close.
"Go to sleep?"
"Mmm, I'm sleepy."
She let out an endearing yawn, and Fu Jingshu's eyes instantly softened.
