Encroachment chapter 4 and chapter 5

 Chapter 4: Exhibitionism

Shen Shuman was momentarily stunned, her eyes catching sight of a flesh-colored scene beneath the man’s sleeping robe—there was not a single thread covering him!

She didn’t dare to look closely and immediately realized the situation, hastily running away without thinking. However, the perverted man with exhibitionist tendencies was one step ahead, grabbing hold of her right wrist.

“Help! Save me!” she exclaimed in fright, her face losing color.

Intoxicated by alcohol, she was unable to control her own body and appeared defenseless and weak, making one’s blood boil, as if wanting to ravage her until she cried to death.

“Dressed like this, wandering around late at night, aren’t you just a shameless slut? Watch me defile you, you damn whore!”

The perverted man’s thick lips curled into a sinister smile, revealing a set of yellowed, tobacco-stained teeth.

The obscene and vulgar words filled Shen Shuman’s ears, making her feel nauseous to the point of wanting to vomit. She sternly said, “Rape is a crime punishable by imprisonment!”

“Spit!” he spat disdainfully, too lazy to engage in further conversation, and forcefully dragged her.

Shen Shuman stumbled, on the verge of falling into his embrace, when out of nowhere, someone appeared and caught her securely.

She turned her head in astonishment, staring dumbfoundedly at the person behind her—

He had a tall and graceful figure, a face as exquisite as jade. With his powerful right hand gripping her shoulder, he firmly let her lean against his chest.

Their chests pressed against each other, and she could feel his body warmth. With each breath, she caught a faint scent of alcohol.

“Fuck! Where did this bastard come from?!” The captured beauty was suddenly intercepted, and the short and chubby perverted man angrily shouted, swinging his fist towards the newcomer’s face.

“Ah!” Shen Shuman, who had grown up in a loving and sheltered environment, had never experienced such a situation before. As a usually poised and gentle woman, she was frightened and screamed in alarm.

“You’re making too much noise,” the man murmured in a dangerous tone, swiftly restraining the other person’s body.

He seized the man’s wrist and twisted it forcefully, bending his arm behind his back. With a sharp crack, it seemed like the shoulder joint had dislocated. The perverted man gritted his teeth in pain and cursed incessantly.

Sighing, the man said, “I only wanted to ask you to step aside since you were blocking the way. I didn’t expect you to try and hit me. Tsk.”

“Cough—spit!” The perverted man spat on the ground. “The road is so wide. Where can’t I walk?”

“Ah~” the man drawled lazily. “But my eyes are not blind, so I won’t walk on the blind path.”

Seeing that the perverted man was under control, Shen Shuman quickly picked up her shattered phone screen, intending to call the police.

As the pervert noticed her making the call, he struggled in fear, broke free, and ran off in a flash, disappearing from sight.

“…” Shen Shuman was dumbfounded. “Should we chase after him?”

The man turned his head, casting a glance at her from top to bottom.

Her face flushed with drunkenness, her eyes unfocused.

Suddenly, he smiled, lightly parting his thin lips. “During your university physical fitness test, did you run in high heels?”

“How is that possible?” Otherwise, she would have been disabled.

“In that case, how could we catch up?” He said and started walking towards the depths of the residential complex, taking long strides.

Shen Shuman hurriedly followed.

“This is the first time I’ve encountered a pervert in our community,” she said, grasping at straws for conversation.

She wasn’t someone without a sense of caution, nor was she unaware of Murphy’s Law.

But people always hold onto a glimmer of hope, thinking they are clever, have strategies to deal with situations, and that being in a familiar place means they have nothing to fear.

However, once something truly happens, how many people can remain calm and rational, finding a solution?

Most people become wise after the event. Even when cursing at someone, they would later review it and complain about not cursing more effectively before.

For example, as a master’s student in law, she had momentarily forgotten the legal provisions of the crime of rape.

If she had known what was going to happen, she probably wouldn’t have left the house tonight.

But… the thought of being rescued by a hero made her feel that there was a greater plan at work, as if it were fate.

Chapter 5. Kiss me quick

She chatted for a long time, but all she got in response was a cold “Hmm” from him.

Shen Shuman pursed her lips, feeling anxious and nervous.

She had fantasized every day about having a conversation with him, but now her mind went blank, and she couldn’t come up with a topic to discuss.

“At least you’re safe… Be careful when you’re out and about,” he advised without turning back.

She was pleasantly surprised, nodding repeatedly, only to suddenly realize that he couldn’t see her. Softly, she responded.

In the silence, he walked confidently, and she followed suit, maintaining a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

She joyfully followed his footsteps, her lips curling up madly, as if pink bubbles were floating in the air.

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to face her.

She stupidly ran into his arms, but quickly stepped back in realization, apologizing in a flustered manner.

“How long do you plan on following me?” he asked in a low, magnetic voice filled with laughter.

Upon his reminder, she noticed a tall boulder on her right. The light hidden in the grass illuminated the three large characters written in cursive on the rock: “Peilan Court.”

Were they already home so quickly?

She felt a sense of loss.

Tonight was the closest she had ever been to him.

She couldn’t bear to let it end like this.

In a moment of inspiration, she lifted her incredibly beautiful face and asked him in a coquettish voice, “Do you know the name of the drink you had?”

Her gaze locked onto him, her heart filled with hope.

This was a subtle and indirect test.

He smiled and whispered, “Kiss me quick.” His voice was as gentle as a lover’s intimate whisper, drifting into her ears.

Shen Shuman’s heart raced, and unable to resist, she tiptoed and planted a quick kiss on his slightly cool lips.

It was a kiss that happened so fast that there was no time to savor it, yet it was filled with the deep affection she had suppressed for years.

Her face flushed, and after the kiss, without lingering, she quickly ran into Peilan Court.

She returned home to find her parents already asleep, with only a few small lights illuminating the spacious house. She entered the bathroom and stared at her lips in the mirror, lost in thought.

She actually kissed him!

Although it was just a light kiss, it took her years of courage to do it.

She wondered if her actions would trouble him.

What if he became so angry and annoyed by the kiss that his face turned black? What would she do then?

Shen Shuman furrowed her brow, pressed her lips tightly, and worried anxiously.

However, after this night, she was afraid she wouldn’t have many opportunities to interact with him anymore.

If only… if that incident hadn’t happened.

The next morning, at ten o’clock.

Shortly after finishing her campus life, Shen Shuman, a master’s graduate in law, boarded the high-speed train and headed to Songxi City, officially stepping into society.

Five years later…

Hastily rushing, yet  she still arrived late.

As soon as Shen Shuman pushed open the door to the KTV private room, she heard Cheng Tong, holding a microphone, shouting, “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the most beautiful female judge in the country, Shen! Shu! Man!”

The applause roared as the room filled with male and female companions raising their arms and cheering, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a star-studded event.

Shen Shuman was startled by this grand reception, her right hand clutching her bag tightened as she stood frozen in place.

The cold air conditioning and the distinctive scent of entertainment venues hit her face, making her feel nauseous and causing her to instinctively furrow her brows. Her fox-like eyes, filled with a watery radiance, quickly scanned the smoke-filled private room…

Vibrant rotating multicolored lights flashed along with deafening music.

A large glass coffee table was filled with various bottles of alcohol and snacks, while the only two ashtrays had turned into small mountains due to the accumulation of cigarette butts.

Eight people sat haphazardly on a red and black U-shaped leather sofa, consisting of two women and six men.

It was evident that they had consumed a considerable amount of alcohol, as empty bottles rolled and tumbled around, and remnants of liquor dripped over the table, creating a “drip-drip” sound.

Cheng Tong staggered towards Shen Shuman, her high heels making a “thud-thud” sound against the floor.

She grabbed Shen Shuman’s wrist and led her into the private room, waving her hand in front of her eyes, uncertain of whom she was pointing at.

“Little Manman, Sister knew you were coming back today, so I specially found a few handsome guys for you to choose from. Take your time and pick the one you like, and we’ll package him up for you!”

Having had quite a few drinks, Cheng Tong babbled incoherently.

Shen Shuman chuckled lightly and leaned close to her ear, saying, “Cheng Tong, are you encouraging me to become an escort?”

“Pah!” Cheng Tong spat, her cheeks blushing.

“What escort? They’re all genuine and eligible bachelors! Among the three of us, you’re the only one still single.”

Genuine and eligible bachelors wouldn’t get so drunk at a KTV and engage in blind dates, would they?

Shen Shuman was about to retort, but her peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. She couldn’t help but freeze in place.

The author has something to say: 

Originally, the first chapter of this story started directly from five years later… But because I liked the name of that c*cktail, I changed the beginning.
