One day, Jiang Xi discovered that her boyfriend of two years had cheated on her with her best friend.

Her boyfriend rushed out of the hotel and grabbed her. “Jiang Xi, we’ve been together for two years, and you wouldn’t even let me touch a finger! What am I, Liu Xiahui? Do you think I have no physical needs?”
