Chapter 55: When the Snow Settles

Zhou Xue had her hands and feet tied up and was thrown onto the big bed in the third-floor bedroom of the mansion. She tried to free herself, but failed. All she could do was resign herself to fate and stare at the ceiling. She now clearly knew that all that awaited her was more sordid dealings with He Wei. Moreover, He Wei didn’t have the liking for her she once fancied. Then again, He Wei did like her body, at least. But Zhou Xue still underestimated the shameless and sordid nature of He Wei and his gang. What awaited her wasn’t just a nauseating "wife-swapping game," but also the deadly "candy" that could end her life. Before long, deafening metal beat music started emitting from the hall downstairs, along with mixed voices of men and women groaning. Zhou Xue’s stomach churned with nausea again, and she knew precisely what was happening downstairs. It was then that He Wei opened the door and walked in. He Wei looked at Zhou Xue, tied up on the bed, as if assessing a lifeless object. He took a box from his pocket that Meimei had handed him. Opening it, he took out a piece of candy, examined it closely, and found nothing special about it. He sat down on the edge of the bed and reached out to stroke Zhou Xue’s delicate chin. She tried to dodge but couldn’t avoid him. With stubbornness, he pried open her tightly shut lips and slipped the candy into her mouth. "Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!" Zhou Xue struggled, but He Wei firmly covered her mouth, and the candy melted in her mouth instantly, the effects of the drug quickly taking hold. He Wei noticed that Zhou Xue’s struggles were weakening, and even just by touching her with his hands, he could feel a spike in her temperature. Zhou Xue realized the changes in her body too, but she couldn’t control the heat welling up inside her, and painful moans leaked from He Wei’s fingers. He Wei marveled at the potency of the candy, worthy of being the top drug. Seeing that Zhou Xue still seemed conscious, he gave her another piece of candy. After observing for a while, He Wei thought Meimei was exaggerating. Even after two pieces, Zhou Xue still had some semblance of awareness, so he fed her a few more candies. But he overlooked one thing; this kind of candy was typically used in amorous activities, a specialty drug from erotic establishments, with the best results brought out by engaging in acts of passion. Maybe after too many drinks, He Wei’s mind was not clear, but he was very excited. Watching Zhou Xue writhing impatiently on the bed sheet, a part of his body was instantly aroused. He crudely tore off Zhou Xue’s dress. Her fair skin emitted a seductive aura against the dark gray sheets. He Wei couldn’t wait to immerse himself, marking that flawless white with his own traces. The entire night, the two engaged in endless physical exertion. Under the drug’s influence, Zhou Xue knew no fatigue. After three rounds, He Wei was exhausted, but Zhou Xue remained passionate. Impatiently, He Wei pushed her away from his body. Ignoring the restless moans behind him, He Wei walked straight to the bathroom. After cleaning himself, He Wei returned beside the big bed in a robe. Leaning over, he gazed at Zhou Xue, who was still rubbing against the sheets. He Wei lifted her delicate jaw, "Since you’re so hungry, how about I help you out?" By this time, Zhou Xue was long unconscious, no longer possessing the awareness to comprehend He Wei’s words. Hearing him speak, she just nodded incessantly, even stretching her neck out to kiss him. He Wei backed away. Even he hadn’t expected the drug to be this potent, turning a once chaste and virtuous woman into such a licentious one, licentious enough to make even him feel "fearful." He Wei straightened up, no longer looking at Zhou Xue on the bed, and left the bedroom. Before long, a man, not unattractive but wearing an extremely lewd smile, walked in. Seeing the alluring scene on the bed, his lust was ignited. He eagerly stripped off his clothes and climbed on top of Zhou Xue. He noticed the marks on her body but didn’t care. Anyone who attended such a party wouldn’t care about these things. They’d even get excited from seeing other men’s traces on the person. This was a pack of beasts in human skin! The entire night, the bedroom door opened and closed repetitively. People in this group had long lusted after this famous actress. Having the chance to savor her now, they tirelessly waited for their turn. ———— Click ———— The sound of the door opening, He Wei, dressed in a clean suit, appeared at the entrance. As soon as he opened the door, the odor in the room made him wrinkle his brows. Seeing the bedraggled figure on the bed, even someone like him felt their actions had been excessive. He Wei stepped back out and called Meimei over to check on Zhou Xue’s situation. Meimei obediently entered the bedroom, and even she, who came from an erotic place, felt a twinge of sympathy for the person on the bed, wondering how many times it took for such a strong scent to permeate the room. Meimei first walked to the window, opened the curtains, and pushed the window open, allowing the harsh sunlight to stream in and fresh air slowly replace the musky scent in the room. It was almost noon by now, and most people from last night had left, leaving just the three of them. However, the glaring sunlight did not wake Zhou Xue on the bed; her eyes remained shut, showing no response. Meimei sensed something was wrong, went forward, and nudged Zhou Xue gently; her body swayed, but she remained unconscious. At the doorway, He Wei also realized something amiss, briskly walked to the bed, and placed a hand on Zhou Xue’s forehead, feeling the burning temperature. He sighed in relief; at least she wasn’t dead. "You go clean her up, then call the hospital and have her sent there." He Wei, knowing Zhou Xue was just feverish and nothing serious, turned and left. He had to go on a business trip out-of-town this afternoon; Zhou Xue had worn him out last night, otherwise, he should already be at the subsidiary by now. Meimei could only weakly respond, "Okay." She had no right to oppose He Wei, as she herself was just a "property" of a wealthy man, though now she could be considered a "big property," unlike the little sisters in the club. As He Wei was about to exit the bedroom, Meimei still asked, "Brother Wei, that candy last night..." "Ah, that candy’s gone, I gave it all to her," He Wei answered indifferently. "What?!" Meimei suddenly stood up, her voice slightly sharp. Startled, He Wei frowned and glared at her, "What’s with you? Why the sudden scare?" Meimei became anxious, "Brother Wei, did you really give all of it to Zhou Xue?" Seeing He Wei nod, Meimei’s face turned pale instantly, her voice turning hoarse, "Brother Wei, that candy not only contained aphrodisiacs but also..."
