When Wang He Di leaves the small village he grew up in, to find work in the streets of glamourous and dangerous Shanghai, the first thing that catches his eye is the beautiful Shen Yue, a young woman also trying to make her fortunes in the "Paris of...

Yue feels something heavy just on her chest. What is going on? She is confused. She tells herself to wake up. Slowly she opens her eye lids, and finds herself staring at the top of a head full of luscious black hair. There is an arm wrapped around her tiny waist, and her legs seem entangled, with longer, heavier limbs.
She remembers last night, how she managed to fetch He Di from that hell hole he wanted to live in, and how he is here now with her... sharing her bed. She smiles at the intimacy of their position. So this is what it feels like to wake up in the arms of a man?
For all the dates she has been on, the free lunches, the fancy dinners, and the nights spent dancing, He Di is the closest she has ever gotten to a man, physically...in this moment right now. She has allowed some of her suitors to give her a peck on the cheek, at the end of the night, but that's always how far it's gone, her mother's warning words constantly ringing in her ears.
"If you open your legs for the first man who buys you dinner, your value will decrease in his eyes, do you understand? Or worse you will fall pregnant and then what? We do not need another mouth to feed, so don't be a stupid girl! Your beauty is the honey that will catch the bees, but your virtue is your leverage. Without it, you may as well walk the streets and sell your body for cheap rice wine... and bad noodles. Smile at them, dance with them, laugh at their jokes, but unless you are to be the wife, do not sleep with them! I've seen what happens to women who give themselves too soon to a man. Men are animals. Do not become their prey! "
"Y...yes Mamma."
He Di is also the first man to see the inside of her place, and right now all she can think of is how He Di should be the first man to kiss her. But she needs to pee, so she tries to shift him off her, but he is too heavy. She runs her fingers through his hair and sighs, she will have to wake him up.
"He Di?" She says softly. Nothing. "He Di?" She says a little louder.
He Di murmurs and then stirs a little, turning his head on her chest. In his movement, he tightens his grip on her waist, and his lips accidentally land on top of one of her breasts. He involuntarily moans at the soft comfort of it all, opening his mouth a little and lightly grazing the silk clad breast with his tongue... still in a dreamy haze. He slowly opens his eyes and then freezes, while Yue is also absolutely still and stiff, as they both realize what is happening. He Di shifts his focus upwards towards Yue's surprised face, locks eyes with her for a brief moment, and then quickly shoots up off the bed, both of them rapidly turning a deep shade of red.
"I'm...I'm so sorry Yue, please forgive me, I wasn't trying to take advantage of you. I was asleep and I didn't know..."
He stops midsentence when he notices Yue is not looking at him, rather her attention seems to be drawn to his lower half of the body and she is blushing even more furiously. He looks down and sees the betrayal of morning wood, visible for all to see. He quickly turns around to face away from her.
