Thousand Autumns Clear Waters

At 11 p.m., the woman next door left work early again. I am certain that she did not come back alone.
Why did I say 'again'?
My name is Zhang Lu. Not long ago, in order to better prepare for the university entrance exam, I moved out of my school hostel. After I moved into this rented place, I realized that this building is actually the "hostel" of the ladies who work in the nightclub next door. Lin Xiaoya, my neighbor, usually gets off work at around 1 or 2 a.m. Therefore, every time she comes home early, it means that she has found herself a customer.
The man moans, "Quickly, babe. I can't wait."  
Lin Xiaoya replies, "There's no need to rush. I am not the only one living here."
Usually, I would put on my headphones and pretend that I can't hear a thing. However, today, I subconsciously move towards the wall. Behind the poster left behind by the previous tenant, there is a tiny hole through which I can see the other side. I approach the hole and see Lin Xiaoya next door suddenly turn her head around and smile at me enchantingly.  

All Those Years

"Teacher Xia, I... I'm fine."I gritted my teeth and endured the pain. I did not tell her what Fang Qian had done to me.

Xia Qingrou could not do anything to him. If she spoke up for me, he would make me suffer even more.

Fang Qian revealed a cold smile. It was as if he knew that I did not dare to tell her.

"Is that so? Let me take a look." Teacher Xia bent down and checked the injury on my hand.

In an instant, my face and ears turned red. At the same time, my anger rose. I could not help but ask, "Fang Qian, why aren't you going to class?"

Xia Qingrou turned her head to look. "That's right. Why are you still standing here?"

Fang Qian's reaction was indeed quick. He withdrew his fist before she turned her head around and said in a panic, "I... I'll go back immediately!"

Fang Qian did not dare to stay any longer and turned around to leave.
