What Cen Qi liked most about her ex-boyfriend was his hands. They were a man's hands, yet as translucent and pink as polished jade, with distinct knuckles, long, strong fingers. They were beautiful and useful, too.
But they'd broken up.
Under pressure, Cen Qi had kept trying to numb herself.
One day, by chance, she came across a hand-model blogger. The man's fingers were shapely and beautiful, and an iris was tattooed on the bone of his right wrist. As he spread ointment across his palm, he exuded an air of restrained sensuality that made her think of someone.
On impulse, Cen Qi sent him a private message: "You have beautiful hands. Can I book a session?"
Q: "Sure. Add me on WeChat and we can talk."
What started as an ordinary professional arrangement gradually became something more intimate, and Cen Qi felt that what he made her feel was getting harder and harder to control.
But everything fell apart when Cen Qi met her online boyfriend in person.
Because her online boyfriend turned out to be her ex, Qi Xingzhi!
Her memories went back to her senior year of high school.
That summer was sweltering, and the rain fell again and again.
In a torrential downpour, the heartthrob of No. 13 High School was brutally dumped.
"Cen Qi, are you playing me?"
The boy clutched a bouquet of irises, a haze clouding his features and his eyes red. "Even if you are playing me, don't break up with me... okay?"
But all he got was the sight of her slender, frail back.
When she saw Qi Xingzhi again, memories of her private chats with her online boyfriend flooded back.
Q: "Did your ex-boyfriend tease you like this, too?"
Q: "You're so obedient like this, baby."
Q: "You like begging me to put my fingers inside you."
In the dim room, reality and the online world blended together. A black ribbon covered Cen Qi's eyes as the man held her from behind. His kisses settled on her back like butterflies coming to rest.
"So this is how you like me to play with you, baby..."
Her whole body tingled, leaving her unable to move. The young man's breath, hot against her ear, came with a demand: "Say you love me... that you can't live without me, that you only want me."
Cen Qi's heart raced.
His voice had changed, and he seemed to have changed, too...
#A product of losing my mind, writing the story I wanted to read. They broke up for a reason. One-on-one, both are each other's first#
