Being a Tutor to a Rich, Psychopathic Young Lady - Chapter 11
Chapter 11
Xiao Dengqu was very close. Her breath fell into Shi Mingyue’s ear, just like the distance between the blonde beauty and the Asian teacher.
Shi Mingyue tilted her head to create distance between them. Her gaze swept back to the movie. The two people on the screen were still kissing passionately.
The Asian teacher tried hard to evade the blonde student’s kiss. The blonde student pulled off the tie from her neck and used it to tie her hands. Her voice was cold, “Don’t refuse me, I love you, I love you…”
The voice was both pleading and begging. It entered her ear like a small ant, and she couldn’t pinpoint its exact location, leaving only an elusive itch.
The blonde student’s eyes were moist. She blindfolded the teacher, deepened the kiss, and took off the wet restraint…
Xiao Dengqu was full of curiosity. She parted her lips to say, “Teacher, let’s try it too,” but suddenly, her vision went black. Shi Mingyue’s hand covered her eyes.
Shi Mingyue said into her ear, “Don’t watch.”
Afterward, the teacher led by example and closed her own eyes.
When Xiao Dengqu’s eyelashes fluttered, they brushed against Shi Mingyue’s palm, which was very itchy. She tried hard not to loosen her fingers.
The light from the screen faintly entered Xiao Dengqu’s eyes. The suppressed moans and the overlapping movements were exceptionally clear to her. At the same time, a faint scent wafted into her nostrils. When her curiosity reached its peak, she suddenly had an answer. The teacher was delicious.
A faint scent of pomegranate mixed with some unknown flower, clean and pure, a scent she had never smelled before at school, on the second floor, or in her own shower gel, shampoo, or perfume.
“Teacher, she seems to have stopped making noise,” Xiao Dengqu said.
Shi Mingyue “mm-hmm’d,” her hand still covering her eyes. Her palm was incredibly itchy. Xiao Dengqu’s eyelashes were so long, brushing against her palm.
The suppressed moaning did subside. She let go of her hand.
Xiao Dengqu tilted her head to look at her, asking in confusion, “The teacher doesn’t like watching?” She was very curious. “Why?”
Shi Mingyue naturally couldn’t say that people her age shouldn’t watch this. She was 21, and Xiao Dengqu was 18. If she criticized her, it would be overly old-fashioned.
Shi Mingyue remained silently. Xiao Dengqu took some popcorn. She pinched a piece and put it in her mouth, then fed one to Shi Mingyue.
Shi Mingyue lowered her head to eat, and her mouth touched her finger.
At that moment, Shi Mingyue realized she had been in a daze for too long. Shi Mingyue backed away to create distance. Xiao Dengqu’s gaze didn’t retreat. She stared at her raised finger and, to Shi Mingyue’s astonishment, opened her mouth and took the finger inside.
Xiao Dengqu frowned. She seemed to be tasting it, very curious about what it tasted like.
Soon, Xiao Dengqu spat out her finger and used a tissue from the snack table to wipe it. She said to her in a very surprised tone, “Teacher, do you know? My finger is sweet this way.”
Shi Mingyue pursed her lips and said nothing.
Xiao Dengqu’s voice spoke again, “Do you want to try it?”
Shi Mingyue said, “That’s because you took popcorn. Popcorn is sweet.”
“No.” Xiao Dengqu said very seriously, “When your lips touched my finger, my finger kept twitching. I wanted to catch your tongue, so I had to bite down on it to make it stop.”
Shi Mingyue’s face slowly began to burn. She stood up and said, “I’m going out for some air. It’s a little stuffy.”
Xiao Dengqu got up with her, looking very unhappy. Why could Shi Mingyue watch a movie for two and a half hours with Cheng Jin but not even half an hour with her?
But the movie started again. The teacher voluntarily sat on the student’s lap. Her body sat back down. Shi Mingyue pulled open the door of the screening room and hurried out.
She ran into the female steward, who was looking down at a file in her hand. She looked up and saw her, asking, “Is the movie over?”
Shi Mingyue didn’t answer. The steward said, “Today, please have her write a review of the film.”
Shi Mingyue was in disbelief. “A review?”
The female steward nodded. “Yes. This kind of education is more meaningful.” She saw the look of surprise on her face. “Can’t you teach her to write an essay?”
Shi Mingyue finally understood why Xiao Dengqu had no boundaries. When she saw others kissing, she also wanted to kiss. She was always so curious about everything.
It turned out that it was all because of Steward Xiao’s poor guidance and a lack of proper education since childhood. Shi Mingyue looked at Steward Xiao’s mature and somewhat stoic face, unable to speak, filled with helplessness.
The steward frowned, saying with some frustration, “If you can’t teach her, I’ll have to find her an essay tutor.”
Half an hour later, Xiao Dengqu came out of the screening room. It was still raining outside, so Shi Mingyue couldn’t go out. She sat in the living room on the first floor, looking at her phone, her brows tightly furrowed. She didn’t know what she was looking at.
Shi Mingyue heard the movement and immediately turned off her phone. She didn’t even look up and said, “The steward wants you to write a review.”
Xiao Dengqu squinted and thought, then gave a light hum.
Shi Mingyue looked at Xiao Dengqu again. “Didn’t you tell your dad?”
Xiao Dengqu said, “I did. My dad said that the college entrance exam essay is 800 words, and the steward reducing it to 750 is already very lenient.”
The rain fell in fine threads into the lush green plants.
The entire mansion exuded an indescribable atmosphere, but Shi Mingyue couldn’t figure out what it was.
The movie time was over. Shi Mingyue began to teach Xiao Dengqu. This time, it was biology.
Xiao Dengqu still had the same old habit. Her eyes would jump from the book to Shi Mingyue’s face, then to the light rain outside the window.
Shi Mingyue initially let her, but then she tapped the pen forcefully on the table. She said seriously, “Xiao Dengqu, what are you looking at?”
Xiao Dengqu was initially confused, then she frowned, clearly unhappy with her action. Before she could say “Teacher,” Shi Mingyue’s words came first: “If you don’t study properly, I’m leaving.”
Xiao Dengqu looked at her in confusion. She was very puzzled. “Why?”
“No reason.” Shi Mingyue said seriously. “Read your book.”
Her intuition told Xiao Dengqu that Shi Mingyue’s attitude was related to what she had just seen on her phone, and she didn’t know who Shi Mingyue was talking to.
The biology lesson went smoothly. After teaching, Shi Mingyue highlighted the important parts for her to memorize. Xiao Dengqu didn’t say a word, seeming to want to argue with her, refusing to memorize.
Shi Mingyue said, “I’ll do a pop quiz.”
Xiao Dengqu did not prop her chin with the back of her hand. She gnawed on her knuckles, her eyes fixed on Shi Mingyue. Without a smile, she looked truly a little rebellious.
Shi Mingyue was also nervous, but she also knew that if she continued to accommodate her as she had before, she would most likely make no progress and torture everyone with a score of twenty.
“What will happen if I don’t memorize it?” Xiao Dengqu still had that cold, unsmiling expression, as if she would soon lose interest in studying and throw a young-lady tantrum.
Shi Mingyue hadn’t thought of a specific plan. Seeing the tense atmosphere about to break, Shi Mingyue thought of Steward Xiao. “If you don’t meet the standard, I will ask the steward to give you an appropriate punishment.”
“Punishment for what?”
“I will decide that,” Shi Mingyue said.
She didn’t know about Xiao Dengqu’s daily routine yet. The punishment would naturally have to make her remember. Hitting her palm would be too childish.
“Then… will there be a reward?” Xiao Dengqu rested her chin on her palm, her eyes sparkling like stars again. It was clear that Xiao Dengqu liked rewards, but her eyes were fixed on Shi Mingyue’s lips.
“Can I… have another…” kiss?
Even though Xiao Dengqu didn’t say the words, Shi Mingyue had already guessed. “We’ll talk about that when you meet the reward conditions.”
The last reward was requested by Xiao Dengqu, and the conditions for the reward were also set by her, which was clearly unfair.
“Okay.” Xiao Dengqu nodded reluctantly. Shi Mingyue didn’t try to comfort her. She raised her voice again. “Okay!”
Shi Mingyue still didn’t respond. She lowered her head, took a sheet of A4 paper full of practice questions out of the biology book, and gave it to her. “Do this.”
Shi Mingyue had found the questions before. At the time, she didn’t have time to teach her math, but now that she was living in the house, she had time to give her a proper biology lesson, even though Xiao Dengqu was completely different from how she had been the first time. She had no interest in biology.
During this time, the steward passed the door several times and saw Shi Mingyue typing on her computer and Xiao Dengqu writing her practice questions across from her.
Soon, Xiao Dengqu leaned forward with her hand propped up, looking down at Shi Mingyue’s screen. The screen was full of data. Shi Mingyue would look up at her from time to time. Neither of their expressions was very good. Xiao Dengqu sat back down and continued to write. It was hard to tell who was watching whom.
The atmosphere continued until lunchtime. Steward Xiao brought over a box. Shi Mingyue looked at her in confusion. Steward Xiao said, “This is your teaching reward for today.”
Shi Mingyue looked at the expensive-looking box, thought for a moment, and said, “I want to ask where my room is. It rained today, and the clothes I washed yesterday haven’t dried yet. I’m sorry.”
Steward Xiao said, “After you finish your meal, I’ll take you there.”
Shi Mingyue didn’t accept the gift. It was too much like a gilded pill. She pushed it back and noticed the somewhat sullen gaze Xiao Dengqu was giving her. But if she accepted it, all the discipline she had imposed on Xiao Dengqu today would be for nothing.
The rain that hadn’t stopped at noon, along with a breeze, dispelled the stuffiness of the past few days, bringing a long-awaited coolness and comfort.
After finishing her meal, Shi Mingyue went to get her backpack. The steward led her in front. Xiao Dengqu did not follow, clearly showing that she was genuinely angry.
Steward Xiao pushed the door open and said, “You’ll be staying here from now on.”
Shi Mingyue was stunned. This was Xiao Dengqu’s bedroom.
Steward Xiao said, “As a live-in tutor, you are expected to take care of her daily life to some extent. I hope you can discipline her through daily details.”
“The young lady’s sleep quality is quite poor. If you sleep together, it would be best to give her a goodnight kiss.”
Shi Mingyue’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Before, Shi Mingyue might have believed her, but looking at the steward’s serious face and listening to her solemn tone, Shi Mingyue said, “She sleeps just fine. She sleeps very soundly.”
“Is that so?” Steward Xiao was silent for a few seconds. “I’ve never seen the young lady sleep so well. It seems she really needs to be in the same space as you.”
Shi Mingyue said, “I stay up late at night. It will disturb her.”
The female steward said, “It’s fine. She can handle it.” She then introduced other places. “The bedroom is in the back, and the study is on the side. The young lady doesn’t like to read, so you can use it freely.”
Shi Mingyue didn’t say anything. The steward thought for a moment. “You can rest in the room next door at noon.”
It was useless to say anything else, so Shi Mingyue nodded in agreement. They usually stayed in the outer room of the bedroom and never went into the bedroom itself.
The female steward left after speaking, without telling her what she could and couldn’t touch.
Shi Mingyue sat on the tatami mat and looked at the practice questions on the table. They weren’t all correct, but it was rare that she could get a few questions right.
Shi Mingyue got up and pushed open the door in the back.
She heard a faint sound of wind chimes inside. Xiao Dengqu’s room was elegantly decorated. There were glass windows on both sides, and she could see the misty rain outside. The raindrops on the glass were like a moving ink painting. In the middle was a large white and pink bed with two cat-shaped pillows, making it a bit more dreamy and cute.
Shi Mingyue stood there. In fact, the two-meter-long bed in her dorm was the best place she had ever lived. She just took a simple look and didn’t put her things there. She went to the small room next door.
She went into the bathroom. Her clothes were still wet. She didn’t take a shower. She just washed her face, arms, and feet.
Shi Mingyue lay down on the edge of the bed. Just as she closed her eyes, the bed moved twice. She tried to open her eyes. Xiao Dengqu was straddling her legs, her hands propped on the bed. Her eyes were slightly red. “Te… teacher, please don’t be mad at me. I’ll study hard.”
She had a pleading look on her face. She moved forward a little, and the moisture in her eyes trembled. Shi Mingyue initially thought it was a dream until Xiao Dengqu’s hot breath hit her.
Shi Mingyue’s body backed away. She heard her calling “teacher” and reached out to cover her mouth. “I’m not mad at you… Go down first.”
Xiao Dengqu’s body pressed down. Her long, black hair touched Shi Mingyue’s cheek, bringing another wave of itchiness. Xiao Dengqu rubbed her cheek against her palm.
Shi Mingyue’s eyes narrowed from the itchiness. She turned her head away.
Xiao Dengqu continued this long touch.
“Then why didn’t you accept my gift?” Xiao Dengqu was serious and pitiful. She said in a pleading tone, “I can only use the method the student in the movie used to coax the teacher…”
Shi Mingyue’s entire body went numb. That movie… Xiao Dengqu looked down at her. Her voice was full of grievance. “Teacher, why is it that you’re angry, but you’re sweet?”
A few minutes later, Shi Mingyue’s palm was itchy, with a moist softness. It was completely different from what she had seen in the movie—Xiao Dengqu was licking her palm.
