Being a Tutor to a Rich, Psychopathic Young Lady - Chapter 12
Chapter 12
The tip of her tongue brushed lightly, slowly and itchily. After it ended, it paused for a few seconds. Xiao Dengqu tasted the sweetness and started the next time, getting faster and faster. The soft tongue even made circles in her palm lines.
Shi Mingyue held a breath in her throat, unable to swallow. When she parted her lips again, it was a suppressed groan. Xiao Dengqu heard it and slowly raised her head, her eyebrow slightly raised: You like it?
Shi Mingyue dodged her gaze, trying to pull her hand away. Xiao Dengqu directly held her wrist, deepening the long licking. Her eyes slightly looked up, and her tongue traced the lines on her palm.
It was an itch that made her limbs numb. Shi Mingyue’s whole body was uncomfortable. She had never been this intimate with anyone. Xiao Dengqu had said she didn’t like dogs, but at this moment, she was so sticky that she might as well have her ears perked up.
By the time Shi Mingyue could pull her hand away, all the strength in her body was gone. Her arms hung limp at her sides, and Xiao Dengqu’s eyes were fixed on her.
A faint blush appeared on Shi Mingyue’s cheeks. She frowned and reached out to push Xiao Dengqu, turning her face away from Xiao Dengqu’s burning gaze.
“Get off,” Shi Mingyue’s tone was much heavier.
Xiao Dengqu nodded slowly, assessing her expression, and obediently got off her waist. But in her peripheral vision, Shi Mingyue saw Xiao Dengqu’s tongue lick the corner of her lips.
Like a puppy that had just finished a delicious milk, savoring the taste.
After Xiao Dengqu got off, she didn’t leave. She knelt by the bed. The black skirt fanned out, and her dark hair contrasted with her fair skin. Her eyes were bright and lively, and her thin lips were moist from gnawing on Shi Mingyue’s palm just now.
“Teacher…” she asked softly, “What should I do next?”
Her tone suggested that Shi Mingyue was still angry and that she needed to continue to appease her.
“You don’t have to.” Shi Mingyue gritted her teeth. “I’m fine.”
Shi Mingyue angrily avoided looking at her, propped herself up with her arms, got off the bed, and went to the bathroom. She said in a cold voice, “Don’t follow me. Go back to your room and sleep.”
Shi Mingyue went into the bathroom and closed the door. She put her hand under the faucet and rubbed it. She rubbed her palm until it was red, then squeezed some hand sanitizer and continued to wash, until her palm felt hot and burning before she took a tissue to wipe it. Shi Mingyue listened carefully to the sounds outside. It seemed that no one was there.
But she couldn’t be sure if Xiao Dengqu had left. Her actions were too strange, always unexpected. Maybe she just wasn’t making a fuss.
Shi Mingyue hadn’t brought her phone with her. She propped herself up on the sink and looked at herself in the mirror. Her breathing was a little rushed, and her cheeks and one exposed ear were a faint pink.
Shi Mingyue cupped water in her hands and washed her face. The moment her palm touched her face, it was as if she had put that light, incredibly itchy, gentle kiss on her face.
A voice floated out from her ear: “The teacher likes it.”
The water overflowed from her palm. Shi Mingyue looked at her reflection in the mirror for a long time.
Xiao Dengqu was not in the room. A black box was on the messy and wrinkled blue-green sheets on the bed.
It was the reward that Steward Xiao had brought for her at noon, and Xiao Dengqu’s reconciliation gift.
Shi Mingyue opened the gift box. Inside was a pure black tie with a silver moon pin hanging on it. Shi Mingyue had never used a tie before. The touch on her fingertips was very smooth and cool.
Shi Mingyue was sure that Xiao Dengqu hadn’t said that sentence, but she could still hear Xiao Dengqu’s voice in her ear, light, slow, and rising, as if it were knocking on the soul hidden in her body.
And her soul was always frail, needing high walls to avoid the invasion of outsiders. Xiao Dengqu was a rain falling on barren land, landing on the weak and lonely artemisia, circling around the artemisia happily, and repeatedly asking curiously, “Are you thirsty? Drink some water.”
Shi Mingyue took a shower and changed into a white shirt. She put on a serious face and started teaching again. Her clear eyebrows became cold. Compared to her first appearance, her demeanor was more solemn and authoritative.
The teacher was really angry. She corrected all the wrong answers on the practice questions with a red pen without saying a word. This time, Xiao Dengqu was neither loud nor difficult, as if as long as Shi Mingyue reconciled with her, she could rein in all her bad tempers.
She would even voluntarily sit next to Shi Mingyue and ask her questions. “Teacher, how do I do this problem? Why do I do it this way? Please tell me, teacher.”
Then, she would seriously do the problems.
The cold eyes would soften. Every time the student got a question right… the teacher’s expression would also improve. Her tense face would instantly relax.
Xiao Dengqu drew a moon and a table lamp on the practice questions. The table lamp looked up at the moon, and a dialogue box was above its head:
“Teacher Moon, do you know what happens at night? If it’s too dark and the moon can’t see the way, the lamp will always shine its light for the moon.”
Throughout the afternoon and evening classes, Xiao Dengqu was very quiet, well-behaved, and cooperative.
Shi Mingyue was tidying up the textbooks on the table and asked in a low voice, “Were you always like this before?”
“What?” Xiao Dengqu didn’t understand.
Shi Mingyue didn’t explain further. The study was behind the bedroom. Shi Mingyue put the books in the study so Xiao Dengqu could study at night.
The entire study was filled with books, both domestic and foreign, including many foreign language documents that were not available in their library. There was a huge airplane model on the table.
Shi Mingyue hadn’t entered the study at noon. At this moment, she was standing at the door, quite shocked. It was not appropriate to put the textbook in her hand anywhere. She placed the textbook next to the airplane model and came out.
The young lady was patting a cartoon sticker on her arm. Three cute pink bubble gums were unwrapped on the table. She looked up, smiled, and pinched one, asking her, “Do you want some bubble gum? Do you want to try it? It’s delicious.”
Shi Mingyue said, “I’m going to do some design work.”
Xiao Dengqu replied, “Okay,” and put the bubble gum in her mouth. As Shi Mingyue reached the door, Xiao Dengqu suddenly said, “No, I hate them.”
Shi Mingyue turned her head to look. Xiao Dengqu carefully peeled off the cartoon sticker on her arm. The pattern of a little sorceress sitting on a bright moon was perfectly displayed on her fair arm.
The door closed.
Shi Mingyue returned to the room and turned on her computer. The stuttering machine made a humming sound as it started up. Shi Mingyue thought for a moment and messaged Cheng Jin.
Shi Mingyue: “Do you know how long her many family tutors each taught her for?”
Cheng Jin: “Some for just an hour, some for one or two days, and some for a week, depending on her mood.”
Shi Mingyue: “Is she only managed by the steward at home? How long has the steward been there?”
Cheng Jin: “Why are you so curious about this? I thought you weren’t going to her house anymore?”
Shi Mingyue had various considerations. She hadn’t planned to tell Cheng Jin about living in the house. She typed: “I’ve been rehired.”
Cheng Jin: “?”
Shi Mingyue continued to type her question: “Does her dad manage her?”
Cheng Jin’s family was a distant relative of her family. All she knew was what her mother had told her, which was more or less biased.
Cheng Jin: “I don’t really care about her. Why did you go back?”
Shi Mingyue: “The salary is high.”
Xiao Dengqu’s bad habits were definitely not that ingrained. She was bad and disobedient, with a strange curiosity about certain things… but afterward, she would try to please in a hundred ways.
Shi Mingyue thought of her mother, that woman who had been abused. She was beaten to a pulp and almost died, but she would still drag her body to cook for the man and care for him when he was sick from drinking too much.
In the end, the one who drank too much was healthy and lived for decades, while she lay in the hospital, clinging to life.
The lagging computer finally booted up. Shi Mingyue authorized the WeChat login and downloaded practice questions from a public account.
WeChat flashed again. Cheng Jin forwarded a link to her. She moved her mouse and clicked on it. It was for studying abroad. Their major had excellent development prospects for further study abroad.
The interface was too slow. The words on the screen kept entering Shi Mingyue’s eyes. With Shi Mingyue’s professional grades, she was fully qualified.
But Shi Mingyue, who was 21 and loved airplanes flying in the blue sky, didn’t have the wings to fly abroad.
She was like a bird that had been soaked by today’s rain, hunched under a tree, constantly pulling its head back into its wings.
The page automatically closed. Shi Mingyue typed, “Xiao Jin, you can try. You can definitely do it,” then deleted it after a few seconds of thought. She re-edited and sent it: “Xiao Jin, you can try.”
After she sent it, the practice questions finished downloading. Shi Mingyue took her computer and went to the third floor to borrow a printer from the steward.
The steward had an independent room and a study. Shi Mingyue stated her purpose, and the steward generously lent it to her, saying that she would set one up for her tomorrow.
The machine smoothly spat out pages. Shi Mingyue glanced at the milky-white bookshelf behind the steward. The bottom shelf held a row of DVDs.
“Teacher Shi?” The female steward tapped the table with her bent finger.
Shi Mingyue came back to her senses. “Hmm?”
“Were you listening to me just now?” the steward asked her, clasping her hands. She was a very charismatic woman.
Shi Mingyue said, “I’m sorry. I was just thinking about Miss Xiao’s lesson plan.”
The female steward nodded in satisfaction. She said, “Can you give me a lesson plan for the next two days? I’ll send it to Mr. Xiao, okay?”
Her voice was soft and gentle. Her eyes behind the glasses were kind. The collar was cleverly designed into a diamond shape, slightly open, revealing a patch of white skin on her collarbone, which was both dignified and had a kind of restrained beauty.
“Okay.”
The printer spat out the pages. Shi Mingyue collected the papers and left. As she went down from the third floor, she passed Xiao Dengqu’s room and glanced inside.
The night rain outside the window had stopped. The sky was a deep black. The light was on. Xiao Dengqu was kneeling on the tatami mat, holding a pen and seriously writing her homework, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was racking her brain.
The young lady stayed up late doing her homework, looking well-behaved.
Shi Mingyue returned to her room and messaged Cheng Jin again: “What do you think the chances are of her dad replacing the steward at home?”
Cheng Jin: “Huh?”
“Mingyue, what are you thinking? Steward Xiao graduated from a professional butler school abroad. Being a butler for a wealthy family is not a position anyone can handle. Her dad might replace you first.”
Shi Mingyue typed and sent the message. A new message appeared below it. Xiao Dengqu: “Teacher, I finished my homework. Please check it.”
Shi Mingyue opened the image. It was densely packed with words.
“Movie Review from the Steward:
Thank you to my teacher’s parents, thank you to my parents, thank you to Cousin Cheng Jin, thank you to the steward… thank you to today’s rain, thank you to the Earth.
Thank you to my teacher for being named Mingyue.
Today, my teacher and I watched a movie. The teacher didn’t like watching it. She covered my eyes with her hand. Her fingers were soft on my eyelids. Her movements were strong at first, then they became very loose.
She was afraid of hurting me, but I didn’t care. She is a teacher. She can do anything to me. A teacher is an educator. They can’t be wrong. As a student, I must always, always listen to her.
I smelled a kind of flower scent. It went from faint to strong. It was very comfortable. It made my bl00d very hot and gave me a strange feeling.
The teacher really smells so good.
I became very hungry. My nose was hungry, my throat was hungry, but the teacher covered my eyes. I could only hear sounds in my ears. Because my eyes couldn’t see anything, those sounds seemed to be coming from the teacher, so my ears also became hungry…
…
The teacher’s cheeks turned red.
I have seen the sky many times. Blue, crimson, a gradient from orange to red. The teacher’s colors are the most beautiful. They fall on her cheeks and are an endless splendor, a dream woven with gradients.
Like a bubble gum in my mouth, I can’t help but carefully blow it into a light bubble, then take the thin candy shell back into my mouth and gently bite it open, chewing out the sweetness between my teeth and cheeks.
…
After watching the movie, I learned a lot. It was very useful.
It turns out that when a teacher and a student do that, the first step is to have clean nails, or it will hurt a lot.
I don’t want to hurt the teacher that much.
I like the teacher.
The teacher’s name is Mingyue. It really sounds so good.”
Whether it’s a golden cage or a doghouse.
Shi Mingyue looked at the screen full of words and finally came up with the exact word that made her feel the atmosphere was indescribable: The Xiao family is absolutely not a wealthy family… it’s a brothel.
