Illicit Relationship

"Well, it was because she was sleepy earlier. That was why she was in the guest room." Xiao Tian lied to Crystal.

"Then why were you in the guest room with her?" she threw another question at him.

Instead of answering her question immediately, he asked, "Crystal, do you really not know?" 

"Yes." She gave an honest answer. "That's why I'm curious about it."

He looked at her before returning his attention to the road. "Do you really want to know the truth?"

"Yes." She nodded her head.

"I had sex with her in the guest room earlier." He gave an honest answer. "She walked strangely because we had wild sex for long time."

She widened her eyes in surprise. "Sex?"

"Yes." He still acted calm despite telling the truth.

"Is she your lover now?" she asked curiously.

"No. We are only business partners." he responded, "It can be said our relationship is only friends with benefits."

"Friends with benefits? What is it?" she inquired.

"Friends with benefits is one in which two people are physically intimate with one another, yet they are not committed to each other in any way." he told her what friends with benefits was.

He then continued, "In other words, we are only friends, nothing more than that. It's just we also have sex like a couple, but we have no special feelings toward each other."

"I see." She finally understood it. "When did it start?"

He glanced at her for two seconds.

'Why do I feel like I'm being interrogated?'

But even so, he still answered her question.

"A few days ago." He gave an honest answer. "At that time, we met at a bar. We were drunk and had sex in her hotel after that. That was the beginning of everything."

"I see." She uttered.

'Should I use the same method?'

A wild idea suddenly arose in her mind.

'No, no.'

She shook her head.

When Xiao Tian noticed it, he inquired, "What's wrong, Crystal? Why are you shaking your head? Do you think I'm a bad person?"

"That's not it." She responded, "A wild idea suddenly appeared in my mind."

"A wild idea? What is it?" he did not know what it was, so he asked this question.

"Nothing." There was no way she would tell him about it.

Xiao Tian did not force her to tell it and focused on driving.

'Well, nothing I can do about it.'

Xiao Tian's Mansion, Family Room.

Xiao Tian was currently watching a movie with Mu Ai and Feng Yu. Crystal was in her room while Chun Hua was talking with other members in the front yard.

Like usual, Xiao Tian tried his best to make them happy because they would be sad if they remembered their mothers.

"Big brother, can you cook like him?" Mu Ai asked as she pointed her right index finger at the TV.

At that moment, the main character in the movie was cooking for his friends. Mu Ai had never seen him cooking before, so she was curious about it.

He immediately answered, "Well, big brother can only cook noodle, fried rice and egg."

No human was perfect.

Even though he was a genius in business and martial arts, he could not cook.

He tried to cook for his women before.

And as a result, they almost puked.

This was the reason why his women never allowed him to cook anymore because they could die if they ate his food.

"It's fine, big brother. I will cook for you after growing up." Mu Ai said cutely.

He immediately kissed her cheeks. "My little angel is the best."

"Hehe." Mu Ai laughed happily.

At 09:30 pm, Xiao Tian took them to their room because they were already sleepy.

Unlike usual, he did not sleep with them immediately; instead, he headed to his room because he wanted to calm himself. 

However, he could not calm himself because he suddenly remembered his women.

'I must control my emotion. I must control my emotion.' 

He kept repeating the same words in his head as if he was chanting a magic spell.

As he was trying to calm himself, someone knocked on his door.

"Xiao Tian, it's me, Crystal." Crystal's voice rang out from the opposite side of the door.

Xiao Tian was startled.

'Crystal?'

He immediately got out of the bed and opened the door.

"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.

"I…have snow beer. Do you want to drink it with me?" she answered as she showed a few bottles of beer in her hands.

"Beer?" he was shocked again.

'Why does she suddenly want to drink beer with me?'

He still did not understand her intention.

"Sure." He could not refuse because she had bought it.

After she stepped into his room, Xiao Tian suddenly remembered something.

'Wait.'

He remembered what he said in his car earlier.

'Don't tell me…'

He finally realized what she had in mind.

"Please wait." He put a small table between his bed and the TV.

He did this because, with this, they could watch a movie while drinking beer.

After placing the beer on the table, they sat on the fur carpet with their back leaning against the bed.

"I will get us some glasses first." She did not have the glass with him, so he headed to the kitchen to get it.

When Crystal was alone in his room, her heart suddenly beat fast.

'I have come this far. I should not change my mind.'

Her heart beat faster when she remembered her plan.

'Calm down, Crystal. Calm down.'

She repeatedly told herself to calm down because her heart beat so hard to the point that she could hear it. 

After returning to his room, Xiao Tian put the glasses on the table. "Let me pour the beer for you."

Crystal kept looking at Xiao Tian and the beer. 

Of course, her heart still beat fast.

However, she tried her best to act calm because she was an adult.

"Thank you." She thanked him after he filled her glass.

As they were drinking beer together, it suddenly rained.

It was as if heaven wanted them to do exciting things because the atmosphere became much better. 

"Hmm? What is it?" Xiao Tian inquired when she kept stealing glances at him.

"Nothing." After saying that, she watched the movie again.

'Should I make the first move?'

Her eyes were on the TV, but her mind was not.

'I should do some research first before coming to his room.'

She blamed herself for not doing some research first because she did not know what to do now.

'Wait.'

She suddenly remembered a romantic scene in a movie.

In that movie, the female lead held the male lead's hands when they were watching a movie together.

The situation was the same as theirs.

Both of them were alone in his room.

It was raining on the outside.

The difference was that they did not drink beer in the movie.

However, Crystal did not care about it because the atmosphere was the same.

'Should I do that?'

She looked at him before finally looking at his left hand.

At that moment, her heart wavered again.

'No. I should not waver again. I have to do it.'

With that idea in mind, she drank her beer to give her courage.

'I'm ready now.'

With that idea in mind, she held his left hand before finally leaning her head on his left shoulder.
