âHe pinned me to the bed and kissed me so passionately that I-I... couldnât help but respond to his advances! I eventually came back to my senses, though, so I pushed him away and told him ânoâ. His expression turned somewhat cold at that, and he thought that my reluctance is due to me not loving him enough. I felt so aggrieved and explained to him that I wanted to save my virginity for our wedding night.â
âWhat happened next?â
âHe asked me what I am afraid of. Heâs unable to understand why we canât do the deed when weâve already met each otherâs parents and decided to tie the knot. I feel really conflicted; was I wrong to turn him down?â
Yun Shishi kept silent for a moment before finally saying, âYouâre not wrong; you just donât feel very sure about him. You love him so much that youâve lost yourself.â
âThatâs indeed so...â Her friendâs eyes flickered as she nodded in agreement. âSomehow... I donât exactly feel sure about him. Youâre certainly right in that.â
âTo be honest, the society now is considered quite open about s*x. If the guy loves you enough, he wonât be bothered whether youâre still a virgin or not on your wedding night. Itâs also not a shameful matter to break up with your boyfriend after sleeping with him. Men have their desires, and so do women. In fact, women tend to be more emotional, so theyâre more likely to lose themselves when they fall in love. Premarital s*x isnât something shameful; itâs about whether the guy is worth it or not. You have your concerns, so youâve turned him down time and again, but instead of trying to understand your feelings, heâs pinned the blame on you. Iâd be really disappointed in him if I were you.â
The two women grew silent.
âWhy is it okay for men to engage in premarital s*x but not women? Men and women are equal in this day and age. As long as itâs out of love, people are free to sleep with whoever they want. Thereâs nothing wrong with that as long as they take precautions and not get themselves hurt in the end. You have nothing to be ashamed of for sticking to your principles. On the contrary, seeing how he could say such things to you, heâs obviously just taking you as a pastime; how important can you be to him?â
She continued asking carefully, âAre you really sure that he loves you back?â
âOf course!â answered the lady in full confidence. âHe told me so himself. Heâll never lie to me.â
âI truly doubt it.â The actress decided to get to the point. âLetâs be honest with each other here. I have a lot to say about him.â
Xiao Xueâs brows furrowed as she asked in puzzlement, âAbout what?â
âOn account of our years of friendship, Iâd like to tell you this...â The actress paused, then added, âGao Nan isnât a reliable boyfriend; heâs not worthy of you!â
The abruptness of the otherâs words caused her expression to change; she simply could not fathom why her friend would say that.
âWhy isnât he reliable?â She laughed. âHeâs tall, handsome, gentle, and considerate; he even has a good family background. Even though we do have some conflicts, Iâm really happy about this relationship.â
âThatâs just his image!â
