At that moment, Wu Xiaoru had already shared with Bai Shutong the entire story of her and Zhang Xiaoshan before their falling out.
Bai Shutong’s mood became somewhat somber.
Initially, she wanted to dig up some negative material on Zhang Xiaoshan’s emotional life, but unexpectedly, as she paused, she started to feel some sympathy for Zhang Xiaoshan.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaoshan used to be so passionately in love, which was entirely different from the careless, bold, and flirtatious image she currently saw.
Was it because he had been stimulated?
Yes, most likely much like herself.
She always gave off a sunny and approachable vibe, but in reality, she spent countless nights crying silently.
Zhang Xiaoshan had been hurt emotionally just like her. The difference was she chose to close herself off, while Zhang Xiaoshan chose to indulge himself.
"He truly is a pitiable person."
For a moment, Bai Shutong even felt a sense of belated sympathy toward Zhang Xiaoshan as if she had come across a kindred spirit.
"Then, have you and Zhang Xiaoshan ever...?" she impulsively asked.
Wu Xiaoru was a bit baffled.
"You know, that kind of thing between a man and a woman. You two dated for several years, didn’t you?"
"Did you ever have... during your relationship?"
Bai Shutong asked bluntly.
Wu Xiaoru’s face turned red, and then she shook her head.
"No, never, just, just kissed a few times."
"Oh, was he willing?"
Bai Shutong was incredibly curious, especially having experienced Zhang Xiaoshan’s fervor in that regard the day before.
Wu Xiaoru spoke hesitantly.
"He, he was actually suffering too, but for me, he always endured and never did anything excessive."
Hearing this, Bai Shutong was greatly surprised.
The sourness in her heart grew.
The man she had once liked went to hotel rooms with other women, assaulted her when caught, allied with them against her, and pushed all the blame onto their lack of conjugal relations.
Over the years, she still occasionally doubted herself, wondering if it really was her fault, thinking maybe all men couldn’t resist.
Now, she had her answer.
Apparently, there were still good men out there.
If she had met Zhang Xiaoshan back then, maybe the outcome would have been different.
Both of them were deeply passionate people, and perhaps they would have been very happy together.
At the same time, she became certain.
After that man left, it wasn’t her fault; it was because he was a complete scumbag.
From the beginning, that man had never loved her.
This was evident from the videos stored on his phone with different women.
In that man’s eyes, she was probably no different from those women.
He never genuinely considered her his girlfriend, perhaps just a prey.
If he really got her, he would definitely have shown off their videos together to his cronies.
That was truly frightening.
Perhaps, realizing early and breaking up with that man wasn’t her misfortune, but a stroke of great luck.
Years of emotional baggage started to unfold at that moment.
Tears streamed down from Bai Shutong’s eyes.
"Journalist Bai, why, why are you crying?"
Wu Xiaoru noticed that Bai Shutong’s mood was off and quickly asked.
"Nothing, nothing at all,"
Once back to her senses, Bai Shutong quickly denied.
But Wu Xiaoru started to overthink.
Could it be because of her description, Journalist Bai was moved by Zhang Xiaoshan?
After all, in that part of the story, Zhang Xiaoshan was perfect, utterly impeccable.
In that case, wouldn’t all the blame fall on her? Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
"Actually, actually, he and I, we also had..."
Wu Xiaoru hesitated for a moment, planning to tell Bai Shutong about the recent times Zhang Xiaoshan had forced her into having relations.
