These Dangerous Girls Placed Me Into Jeopardy-Chapter 33Vol 2. .5: The Heartbreak of the [Stalker (Intermediate)]

After knocking over several people, Ethan An ran off in a rush.

The area around me erupted into chaos. People shoved one another, voices clashed as they tried to shift the blame, and the station attendant came running to mediate the conflict...

I slipped through the gaps in the crowd with ease, escaping from the center of the incident without difficulty.

As for Ethan—he was already gone. But there was no need to worry. I would find him.

First, I needed to properly reflect on my own actions.

What I did just now was a serious mistake. I couldn’t help myself and took advantage of the crowded subway to grope Ethan’s body.

And the result? He grew wary of me.

He must think I’m some kind of female pervert. When I saw him fleeing from me, it hit me—what I did this time was far too much. To think I’d do such a thing while he was still conscious... completely unacceptable.

I should’ve waited until he was unconscious at the very least...

A sudden flash of inspiration lit up in my mind. I remembered—I’d brought it with me, hadn’t I? I rifled through my bag.

Yes—there were still two tablets left. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Thank goodness I brought them...

Now, time to catch up to him.

I stood in place and scanned my surroundings, collecting every detail I could to trace Ethan’s trail.

Sweat. Scent.

Escape direction: southeast.

That path doesn’t lead to an exit.

Breathing and footsteps: hurried.

Emotional state: anxious and uneasy.

Subway carriage: cramped and sweltering.

Heavy sweating.

Then—full-speed sprint.

Likely dehydrated.

Wallet: not on him.

Used change to buy his ticket.

Phone: out of battery and powered off.

Based on this information, I could predict Ethan’s next move...

When it comes to Ethan An, no one knows him better than I do. I’m confident—I don’t miss a single detail. Not a single one. Hehe...

I made my way ahead of him to a vending machine he was likely to pass, bought a bottle of water, opened it and took a few sips. Then, I dissolved the last two sleeping pills into the bottle.

When Ethan approached, I used a vending staff member as cover to conceal myself. Then, as he stood there, dejected from not being able to find water, I appeared at the perfect moment and offered him the bottle.

Since sleeping pills are bitter, I worried he might notice... so I mixed in a bit of my own saliva to mask the taste. N-not because I wanted him to drink my spit or anything! (Embarrassed...)

As I expected, he drank it all in one go without the slightest suspicion. And as a bonus, I even got lucky—

I got sprayed with Ethan’s fluid~ Hehehehe... What a shame... Why’d he have to look down? If only he’d spat it onto me—or better yet, into my mouth...

Ugh... Calm down, Lan Hua. You’re getting too excited again.

I can’t rush things. Ethan’s favorability toward me has already dropped significantly. If I do anything too extreme now, he’ll come to hate me completely... I absolutely cannot let that happen!

I ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) have to let all my guilt show on my face—no lies. Ethan is incredibly sensitive to deception.

If I get caught lying, he’ll never trust me again... But if I sincerely apologize, he’s sure to forgive me.

Especially after accepting my water—he’d think it evens out what happened earlier, and he won’t be so wary of me anymore.

Things almost fell apart again when I accidentally used the idiom “waiting for a rabbit at the tree stump,” which made Ethan suspicious. But luckily, I immediately folded my arms and pushed up my chest, drawing his attention and averting the crisis.

Then I just needed to show him goodwill, sincerely apologize...

I was worried at first. What if he really was angry? What if he refused to forgive me?

But after secretly watching his expression, I realized he seemed... sympathetic?

Huh? Sympathy?

The way he looked at me—it wasn’t annoyed or helpless, but more like he saw me as... a kindred spirit?

Why would he see me that way?

And when I said those self-blaming things, Ethan collapsed to the ground like he’d been shot... Did he do something similar to someone else?

...So something happened between him and Snowy Jiang that I don’t know about, huh...

What happened? I want to know—so badly.

But even if I ask, he probably won’t tell me... If only I could be someone Ethan would open his heart to...

That frustration made me snap—I tried to flash him my chest to distract him, but he stopped me. I had to settle for lifting my shirt and showing my belly.

Once Ethan saw my exposed skin, he’d feel guilty toward me, and then I could make a request he wouldn’t refuse.

So I asked if I could go home with him.

And just like I planned—he said yes.

Now I just had to wait... quietly... for the sleeping pills inside Ethan to kick in...

Then there would be no need to hold back anymore... Hehehe...

We got on the subway, and not long after, Ethan couldn’t fight off the drowsiness and fell asleep.

Hehehe... Hehehehehehehe...

“Hehehe...”

Ah, I laughed again—I just couldn’t hold it in.

Now, Ethan was resting peacefully on my lap.

Looking at his serene sleeping face, I was overcome with the urge to kiss him...

No—gotta hold back. Don’t be impulsive, Lan Hua.

There are still people around. I don’t want to let just anyone see my body. And if I do something too stimulating, someone might take a photo. If Ethan saw that later, it’d be a disaster. So I have to endure...

Endure...

This waiting—it was unbearable...

It dragged on like centuries.

Finally, just before the last stop, everyone got off the train.

The carriage was empty!

YES!

A sleeping Ethan wouldn’t wake up so easily. Last time, I tried all sorts of things and he didn’t stir, so this time I didn’t need to worry so much.

There were still about... eight minutes left until the last stop. Hm, kind of short, but—

From now on, it’s Lan Hua’s time~

Hehehehe, hehehehehe...

Now I can do whatever I want...

Ethan’s lips—so soft... so soft~

Truly soft. Thank you. Thanks for the treat.

Thank the heavens for letting me meet Ethan. I’m so grateful.

My heart felt like it was going to burst.

His scent was wonderful. Just like when I buried myself in his bed sheets, but even stronger... Haaah... As expected, nothing beats the real thing.

If I tried to take him here, I wouldn’t have enough time—and there were cameras in the carriage too...

Maybe I should bring him to a love hotel? No. Don’t be rash, Lan Hua. That would only give me Ethan’s body.

But if he doesn’t love me, then what’s the point of having his body?

Ugh... I hate this.

Not just the short time. I hate my own greed too.

Every time I get a taste, I want more... I’m such a greedy woman.

I shook my head to clear my thoughts. The subway reached the last station.

Before anything else, I gave Ethan one last kiss and gently called his name near his ear, waking him up.

Don’t rush, Lan Hua.

It’s not time yet...

Ethan, ever the gentleman, offered to walk me home. I really wanted to say yes, but in the end, I declined.

Because I couldn’t hold it anymore—I needed to find a public restroom, fast.

Still, I had to leave something behind. I had to burn Ethan’s image into my eyes before he left.

I stood there, watching his retreating back. And I suddenly thought—

Just watching him like this was already so nice...

And then, something unexpected happened.

“Lan Hua!”

That was Ethan’s voice!

For the first time, he called my name—without “classmate” or any formality!

I was so happy I could’ve jumped!

Did this mean... he finally considered me a friend? That he was finally willing to accept me, to let me close? Even if just as a friend, could we finally interact normally?

Ahhh... I could finally greet him every day. Talk to him like anyone else. Eat together, hang out like friends...

Was it finally starting?

“That! I’m really sorry! I already have a girlfriend!”

But it wasn’t the beginning.

“So! Even if you like me! I can’t go out with you!”

It was—already the end.

“I’m really! Really sorry!”

A love that never began... had ended just like that.

“......”

When I heard those words, I couldn’t immediately process them.

It took a long time for the words to make their way through my feelings and properly reach my brain.

Then my brain had to decipher them, interpret what they meant...

But my body reacted before I could understand it. When I came to, tears were already flooding down my cheeks.

My mouth hung open. I dumbly reached up to touch the tears. That was when I finally realized—

I’d been dumped.

I’d been dumped.

I really got dumped.

“Uuu... uWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”

I wailed like a child.

Something fell to the floor.

It was my heart.

Shattered into pieces.

Beyond repair.

“Cough... cough, cough...!”

I coughed hard—spitting up blood.

Clutching my chest with all my strength, I tried to seal up the gaping hole, but the pain was unbearable.

“Ahhh... it hurts... it hurts so much...”

It hurts... it’s unbearable, Ethan...

Why—why do I have to suffer like this...?

I don’t want this. I don’t want to feel this pain anymore...

Someone—anyone... help me... seal the hole in my heart...

“Hey there, little lady, did you get dumped?”

...It wasn’t Ethan.

Just some man I didn’t know.

Wearing an ugly cap.

A gold chain around his neck.

A few sleazy men trailing behind him.

They looked like degenerates.

Smelled like smoke and alcohol.

Also had makeup perfume clinging to them.

Lust written all over their faces. Nostrils flaring.

They’d clearly just come from a night of debauchery.

The man walked up to me, leering at my chest, grinning as he spoke.

“Forget that loser, yeah? Wanna come with us? A few drinks’ll make you forget everything, heh...”

...Make me forget everything?

“...Sure.”

Without wiping away my tears, I stood up and tilted my head, flashing a broken smile.

“Let’s go have some fun.”
