Thirst [Broken and Reunited]

A little white flower whose ambitions keep growing x an emotionally detached stray dog with low moral standards

Fate was like a river whose end was visible, its dampness running through Jiang Wuyu's entire life.

She was cool and elegant, like fine white porcelain. To measure her worth in money and power was nothing short of sacrilege.

But Jiang's father was a businessman through and through. To save his company from bankruptcy, he offered up his estranged daughter, whom he had not seen in years, to the lofty Pei family, all for the chance to climb higher himself.

In Haijing, the Pei family was the only name that mattered. Pei Yanjin was aloof and cold-blooded, as heartless as a wolf. He had personally brought charges against his beloved aunt's family.

Seeing Pei Yanjin again felt like a lifetime had passed for Jiang Wuyu.

She hoped he might still feel some affection for her, but the passionate boy from back then had long since died through countless lonely nights. The man facing Jiang Wuyu now was a completely mad attack dog.

Tears blurred everything. She could no longer tell whether he had deceived her back then, or whether she had cruelly abandoned him.

Jiang Wuyu thought she had to be extremely careful to protect herself from Pei Yanjin's fangs.

She had no idea that the man had already opened himself up to her completely.

All her resistance and retreat took on a different meaning after she discovered that Pei Yanjin secretly sneaked to her bedside every night.

She hated him so much that she dropped all pretenses in front of him and bared her fangs.

But unfortunately, Pei Yanjin seemed to have a pain kink. He willingly let her hit him, step on him, and bite him.

Jiang Wuyu began to wonder, so she asked him,

"Then do you love me?"

But Pei Yanjin shook his head. "No, I just... need you."

Jiang Wuyu got angry and left him again.

She didn't know that during all those days and nights apart, he had repented countless times and punished himself to atone for his sins, until he could no longer bring himself to say that he loved her.

Even so, years later, Pei Yanjin still craved Jiang Wuyu endlessly, his desire insatiable.

Extra scene:

Jiang Wuyu tried to get Pei Yanjin to tell the truth in every situation, but when he really said he wanted to eat her, she lost her nerve.

"But I told the truth."

Pei Yanjin's arms tightened, as if he meant to crush Jiang Wuyu into his embrace.

"I told the truth. You should reward me, Master."

"Not so soon."

Jiang Wuyu broke free of Pei Yanjin.

"I can only give you a tiny reward for now. What comes after that depends on how you behave."

"What's the little reward?"

"You can have a taste."

*

Pei Yanjin had an abnormally high pain threshold, but his threshold in certain other areas was abnormally low.

Jiang Wuyu had thought that was a good thing. He would let her hit and scold him as much as she wanted.

Later, she realized she was wrong.

Completely wrong.
