Long Jinjing found Lu Zihao's note much later when she returned to the bedroom after taking another much-needed soak in the bathtub. She missed the small piece of paper earlier because it fell down to the floor and landed almost under the bed. Her heart skipped a beat when she picked it up.

'So he didn't just leave without a word, after all.'

She felt a little happy at the fact that he took a moment to leave her a note. Her stomach fluttered and she felt a little giddy. When she caught herself getting carried away, she gave herself another slap in the face.

First order of business was to calm herself down. She reminded herself that what she was feeling right now was only the so-called sexual afterglow. Nothing more.

After calming down, she finally took a good look at the note and read what Lu Zihao wrote. His handwriting looked a little ugly but the strokes were strong and bold just like him. It said:

"Need to go. Didn't want to wake you up because you're too exhausted. Thanks for last night. Bye."

She flipped to the backside of the paper and found nothing more written other than what she read on the front. Such simple, ordinary lines. 

Disappointment filled her again. Her mouth curled into a wry smile.

'Get a hold of yourself, Jinjing! Remember that it was only a one-night stand! What did you expect to receive afterwards? A bouquet of red roses and a love letter? Wake up! Lu Zihao was very clear from the beginning that he only wanted one night of fucking with you. At least, the man had the decency to write a note and not just leave after pulling up his pants like some other men after a one-night stand.'

Her pep talk to herself made her recover quickly again. Indeed, what happened between her and Lu Zihao was nothing more than a one-night stand. This confusing feeling that she had for him—crush, lust or whatever it was—shall soon pass. It definitely wasn't love. She wasn't some naïve, young girl. 

The love of her life, her very own Mr. Right, was still out there somewhere in the world. If destiny permitted it, then she would meet her perfect match when the time was right. Now was definitely not the right time. 

And her Mr. Right was most definitely NOT Mr. Yummylicious Lu Zihao. He was just Mr. Right Last Night.

She giggled.

And with that, she felt so much better. Despite her aching body, she felt almost normal after taking over-the-counter pain meds. She busied herself with her daily chores and remotely working from home. 

Soon, Lu Zihao and his amazing body and bed skills were pushed into the very back of her mind. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).
