Being a Tutor to a Rich, Psychopathic Young Lady - Chapter 37
Chapter 37
The inside of her white legs had a few areas of pink hypertrophic scars. The color layered to remove the hideousness, giving them a bit of a cute look.
Xiao Dengqu then said she was itchy. Shi Mingyue put her fingers on them and rubbed them a few times. As if a strange switch had been flipped, Xiao Dengqu’s breathing became a little heavy. She groaned with difficulty, “Teacher, try biting it.”
Shi Mingyue looked up at Xiao Dengqu. Xiao Dengqu was getting too carried away. But when their eyes met, it was Shi Mingyue who immediately looked away. Her legs were slightly numb when she stood up. She pulled open the bathroom door and left.
It happened again. She walked away whenever she got shy.
Xiao Dengqu frowned. She looked down at herself, feeling tired from sitting. She slowly stood up to stretch. At that moment, the door was pushed open. She quickly fell back toward the sink.
Shi Mingyue rushed over and caught her, her hand wrapped around Xiao Dengqu’s slender waist. Her heart was beating wildly in fear. She swallowed a gasp. “Why did you get up?”
“I thought you weren’t going to care about me anymore,” Xiao Dengqu lowered her eyes and let out a light snort. “Why did it take you so long to come?”
Her eyes moved to the full-length mirror beside her. Her naked self was held in the teacher’s arms. The teacher dutifully led her back to the chair.
“Lift your leg, Xiaoqu. Slowly…”
The Xiao Dengqu in the mirror was pouting, looking cute, but her heart was incredibly wicked. She said, “It hurts, Teacher. Teacher, hurry and lift my leg. I can’t move.”
Shi Mingyue’s hand went through her thigh. Her cool hand went under her leg. Xiao Dengqu’s skin contracted slightly. She let out a muffled groan from the stimulation, but her body felt comfortable. Her pores were expanding, wanting more contact.
Shi Mingyue lifted her leg to prevent her foot from hitting the ground or getting the bandage wet. Shi Mingyue’s palm grabbed a handful of soft flesh. She hadn’t dared to look up until she had gotten her onto the chair.
There were a few moments when Shi Mingyue felt that Xiao Dengqu was deliberately being mischievous. When Xiao Dengqu came, she was actually prepared to be bullied by her. After all, it was normal for Xiao Dengqu to have a little temper and mood swings when she was injured. When she looked at Xiao Dengqu’s face, she saw a pink blush on her white skin, like a sweet peach waiting to be peeled. She could feel the sweetness of the juice without even touching it, and she only felt that it was so cute.
She seemed to be turning into a beast, wanting to bite.
Her lips were slightly pursed, and her philtrum was glistening, like a crystal bead of water on the tip of a peach, clear and tempting, causing an insatiable thirst on her tongue.
Shi Mingyue went out to get a fresh-keeping bag. A shower would definitely not be able to control the water flow. It would be troublesome if the bandage got wet.
Shi Mingyue put the fresh-keeping bag on her leg.
Xiao Dengqu’s toes tensed up. She kept wanting to stand up and hug Shi Mingyue, but she couldn’t help but grab the armrest of the chair. Shi Mingyue asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It hurts.”
“Where does it hurt?” Shi Mingyue immediately looked at her leg. Xiao Dengqu said, “Sitting is also very tiring.”
Indeed, she had been sitting for a whole day. At least Shi Mingyue had gone to the supermarket twice. Xiao Dengqu said, “I want to stand up.”
“Bear with it. I’ll rub it for you later,” Shi Mingyue said.
“Rub it now.” Xiao Dengqu grabbed her hand and placed it on her lower back, letting her rub it slowly until it softened. The foam had just been washed off. Her skin was smooth and tender. Shi Mingyue rubbed it slowly. Xiao Dengqu leaned against her chest, soaking her thin clothes and revealing her chest shape.
She wanted to bite the teacher.
Her lips rubbed against the fabric twice.
Shi Mingyue wanted to move back, but she was afraid of her falling, so she could only let her.
She squeezed shower gel into her palm and rubbed her back, creating foam. The fragrance also spread with her movements. Her fingers slid from her spine to her waist. Shi Mingyue rubbed slowly. Xiao Dengqu’s body had a very strange feeling. It felt so comfortable and so joyful.
“It’s so itchy…” Xiao Dengqu twisted her body with difficulty. Shi Mingyue didn’t dare to respond. She could only speed up to wash her. After she was done with her back, she reminded her, “Xiao Dengqu, wash the front…”
Xiao Dengqu’s tone was coquettish. She said she didn’t know how. Shi Mingyue squeezed shower gel into her palm and let her do it herself. But when Xiao Dengqu’s fingers touched her body, her face turned bright red. She was watching… Xiao Dengqu take a bath.
And she was washing her chest.
…
The moment the door was pushed open, the heat and the scent of oranges from the bathroom rushed out. Shi Mingyue helped Xiao Dengqu walk out. When they got to the guest room, she realized she hadn’t brought any clothes to change into. To be precise, neither of them had.
Shi Mingyue thought about whether to borrow her aunt’s clothes. She got her to the side of the bed. Shi Mingyue took off the plastic wrap and confirmed that there were no issues. She immediately wrapped Xiao Dengqu in a clean blanket.
It wouldn’t be hot with the air conditioner on. Shi Mingyue went into the bathroom and put Xiao Dengqu’s dress into the washing machine. Her own clothes were completely soaked. She went to her aunt’s room and got a pair of pajamas. “You put these on first. I’m going to take a shower.”
Shi Mingyue deliberately turned down the temperature of the water to wash. The moment her fingers touched her own body, she took a long time to relax. The places she had touched felt hot and uncomfortable.
Twenty minutes later, she came out of the room. Xiao Dengqu was sitting on the bed. She wasn’t wearing pajamas. She only had a blanket draped around her waist.
“Why aren’t you wearing clothes?” Shi Mingyue asked.
Xiao Dengqu: “I’m not wearing a bra. It feels weird to wear someone else’s clothes.”
The young lady was a clean freak, too. Shi Mingyue got on the bed and reached up to dim the light on the ceiling.
It was still a little early. Shi Mingyue was conflicted about what to do. Xiao Dengqu called out to her, “You promised to give me a massage.”
As long as it was an intimate thing, Xiao Dengqu would never forget.
Shi Mingyue sent a message to Zou Huiqin to ask about her condition. After confirming that everything was fine, she put her phone away. She massaged Xiao Dengqu’s waist and legs. Xiao Dengqu kept telling her to move her hands toward the middle. When Xiao Dengqu tried to grab her wrist, she immediately pulled back and lay down to sleep.
Xiao Dengqu was close. The soft touch was on Shi Mingyue’s waist.
Shi Mingyue turned to her side. Just then, her phone rang. Someone was calling. Shi Mingyue reached for her phone, but Xiao Dengqu wouldn’t let her. Shi Mingyue was worried that it was from the hospital, so she still reached for the phone. The screen showed Cheng Jin.
Xiao Dengqu tilted her head and looked at her, her eyes dark. “I said, don’t answer.”
“But I didn’t know it was Cheng Jin, did I?”
Shi Mingyue put her phone back. “I didn’t answer it. I just looked at it.”
“You can’t even look at Cousin,” Xiao Dengqu’s tone was exceptionally domineering.
The two of them leaned against each other. The fragrance and delicate skin entered them. Xiao Dengqu hooked her fingers, and their connected fingers became bl00d vessels. They grew on the same piece of flesh.
Xiao Dengqu said, “You can’t do that next time. You can’t just run away. If you do that again… I’ll be so, so angry.”
The room was dark. Shi Mingyue hummed in response.
…
It rained lightly at night, but it dried up in the morning. Neither of them noticed. Shi Mingyue took the clothes from the balcony for Xiao Dengqu to wear.
The two of them went to the hospital for another day. Shi Mingyue bought a lot of things online, all of which were crafts for her to play with, like she was coaxing a child. Xiao Dengqu was very well-behaved. Other than asking Shi Mingyue for help with a few things, she never bothered her.
Xiao Dengqu played for a while, looked at the clouds outside the window, and then propped up her tablet to study. This led Zou Huiqin to believe that her grades were excellent. She asked Xiao Dengqu where she went to school.
Xiao Dengqu was unwrapping the gum that Shi Mingyue had specially bought for her. She took out the stickers and put them on her arm. The previously missing parts were now completely filled in. The gum in her mouth was her favorite flavor. The teacher was so good.
Zou Huiqin asked curiously, “That’s not a tattoo sticker, is it? I thought she went and got a tattoo.”
Shi Mingyue glanced at the busy Xiao Dengqu. Her eyes were filled with a smile. She explained that it was just for fun.
On Thursday afternoon, Shi Fanxing arrived at the station. She had gone to another city to work. Shi Mingyue had always been worried about her. After all, Shi Fanxing was more than a year younger than Xiao Dengqu and was only 17.
Shi Fanxing came out of the station. Shi Mingyue went to help her with her bag. Shi Fanxing was a little disappointed that only Shi Mingyue had come. “Didn’t Xiao Dengqu come?”
Shi Mingyue: “Why are you so curious about her?”
Shi Fanxing’s tone was so familiar, as if she knew her.
Shi Fanxing said, “I’ve never met a rich young lady. This is my first time. I can brag to my friends about it later.”
Shi Mingyue: “She’s at the hospital.”
Shi Fanxing said, “Then I’ll go to Auntie’s house to take a shower first. I’m exhausted.”
There was a direct bus. Shi Mingyue put the suitcase on the bus. Shi Fanxing kept talking on the way. Shi Mingyue hummed in response.
When they got to her aunt’s house, Shi Fanxing went to take a shower and put her clothes in the washing machine. She was hanging up the clothes on the balcony when she said, “I saw the young lady’s clothes. They’re so nice. They must cost tens of thousands!”
Shi Mingyue glanced at them and nodded. She didn’t know how expensive they were, but they felt like they were of good quality.
Shi Mingyue’s short responses always made people feel a little cold. Shi Fanxing felt a little sad. Shi Mingyue went to the fridge and got her a sugar-free Coke, and Shi Fanxing’s mood improved.
The two of them walked to the hospital. Shi Mingyue told her, “Don’t ask too many questions. Don’t stare at her leg.”
“I know, I know. I’m not stupid.” Shi Fanxing was also very curious. What was wrong with her leg?
It was tiring to be in a wheelchair all day. When Shi Mingyue went out to pick up Shi Fanxing, Xiao Dengqu often pushed the wheelchair to an empty stairwell. She would get out of the wheelchair and stand there for a while.
Almost no one came here. When Zou Huiqin asked her where she was going, she would say she was checking if Shi Mingyue was back. To avoid being found out, she would lean against the wall and slightly lift her feet.
She received a message on her phone. Shi Fanxing: [We’ll be at the hospital soon. What’s wrong with your leg? You never told me.]
A man came up in the middle of it. Xiao Dengqu hopped over to get the wheelchair, sat on it, and walked toward the elevator.
When Xiao Dengqu passed the ward, she peeked inside and saw that man entering the ward and sitting by Zou Huiqin’s bed. She stopped at the door for a few minutes, and then the man came out.
Xiao Dengqu looked at him carefully. The man came out and was blocked by her. He said unhappily, “Move.”
Xiao Dengqu smiled at him. “Aren’t you Dad?”
The man at the door squinted his eyes. His fierce face relaxed for a few seconds. “Xingxing?”
Xiao Dengqu tapped the armrest of the wheelchair with her finger and continued to call out, “Dad. You’re back.”
The man was stunned and thought for a long time.
The man tried to push the door again. Zou Huiqin inside kept urging him to leave. The man slightly pushed her wheelchair, sidestepped her, and walked toward the stairs.
Xiao Dengqu pushed her wheelchair toward the elevator. In the meantime, the man looked back at her.
About ten minutes later, Shi Mingyue and Shi Fanxing appeared together. When Shi Fanxing saw Xiao Dengqu, she greeted her warmly.
Xiao Dengqu smiled. “Hello.”
Shi Mingyue looked at Shi Fanxing in confusion, then at Xiao Dengqu. Shi Fanxing said, “Sister, seriously, the young lady and I are like old friends!”
Shi Mingyue was silent for half a minute. “That’s good.”
She was about to reach out to push Xiao Dengqu, but Shi Fanxing was faster. She pushed Xiao Dengqu into the ward and said in a voice for both of them to hear, “What’s wrong with your leg?”
Shi Mingyue walked behind them. Xiao Dengqu didn’t say anything. Shi Mingyue helped push the door open. Xiao Dengqu said softly, “I accidentally fell because of the person I love.”
Shi Mingyue’s movements paused slightly. She was two beats late in closing the door. Shi Fanxing: “No way! For that heartless woman!”
“Don’t talk about her like that,” Xiao Dengqu snorted, displeased.
Shi Fanxing didn’t understand but tried to respect her. Was Xiao Dengqu a natural-born love-struck idiot? In such a short time, she evolved from a dog to a love-struck idiot. She whispered, “This is really not good. You’re still not over her, and you’ve even become disabled!”
After saying that, Shi Fanxing went to sit by the bed. Shi Mingyue brought Xiao Dengqu over. The wheelchair was next to her chair.
Shi Fanxing talked a lot and didn’t stop talking to Zou Huiqin. She even drank a few sips of water in between. Shi Mingyue was looking down at her fingernails. Xiao Dengqu had never been close to her mom. She only knew that if her dad treated someone else like this, she would be furious. Xiao Dengqu was about to open her mouth to speak, but Shi Mingyue quickly grabbed her arm. Xiao Dengqu’s open mouth slowly closed.
“Have you eaten yet?” Zou Huiqin asked.
Shi Fanxing said, “I bought some small bread and ate it in the car.”
Xiao Dengqu’s lips opened again. She tried hard to hold it back. She used her phone to type.
Xiao Dengqu: Can you talk quietly?
Shi Mingyue: No.
Xiao Dengqu: Do you eat small bread?
Shi Mingyue didn’t reply. Xiao Dengqu tilted her head to look at her. Through the gap in her hair, the eyes under her eyelashes were red. Shi Mingyue was almost about to cry, but her eyelids went up and down, and she quickly returned to normal.
Xiao Dengqu: Do you want a hug?
The screen lit up again. Shi Mingyue saw it but turned it off again. She didn’t move. The laughter of Shi Fanxing was in their ears.
“I want to go to the bathroom,” Xiao Dengqu said softly.
Shi Mingyue looked at the other side, got up, and pushed her there.
The smell of disinfectant was in the room and outside. Shi Mingyue pushed her toward the end of the hallway. When they were almost at the bathroom, Xiao Dengqu called out to stop.
“Hmm?”
“Let’s get some fresh air,” Xiao Dengqu said.
Shi Mingyue pushed her to the side, close to the wall. Xiao Dengqu asked, “Are you sad because you’re not close to your mom?”
Shi Mingyue shook her head in slow motion.
She then said, “I’m not sad about that.”
Shi Mingyue’s heart was a hard shell, covered with a thick layer of ice. The bitterness came from Xiao Dengqu’s sudden concern. An emotion she couldn’t explain or understand welled up inside her, and she couldn’t process it.
The temperature in the hallway was low. A chill crept up from the bottom of her feet. Xiao Dengqu pushed the wheelchair in front of her and said, “Help me look at my leg.”
“My leg hurts so much.”
Shi Mingyue squatted down to look at her leg wrapped in a bandage. To this day, she still didn’t know what was wrong with it. “Let’s get it checked…”
Her forehead was kissed.
Shi Mingyue’s forehead was touched. She looked up. Xiao Dengqu asked, “Are you feeling better?”
“Why would I feel better if you kiss me?” Shi Mingyue asked.
Xiao Dengqu thought about it. “Because a kiss conveys love. I’m conveying my love to you.”
She was poor in knowledge, but she seemed to be very good at emotional theory. At least she was better than Shi Mingyue. Xiao Dengqu’s tone was smug. She said, “The love manual you gave me didn’t have this part.”
Thinking back to that manual, Shi Mingyue’s face felt hot. As she was about to say something, Xiao Dengqu directly aimed for her mouth and kissed her.
Shi Mingyue was slightly stunned. Xiao Dengqu wanted to kiss her more deeply, but if she used too much force on her legs, she would be exposed. Their thin lips were touching. When Shi Mingyue moved away, Xiao Dengqu said, “I can’t. I can’t. I’m going to fall.”
Shi Mingyue could only let her stick to her and carefully push her back. But Xiao Dengqu pressed a button on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair couldn’t move back. So Shi Mingyue moved back, and Xiao Dengqu’s body pressed forward.
Shi Mingyue was so afraid of her falling that she finally sat on the floor. Her hand was still pushing Xiao Dengqu to prevent her from falling. Shi Mingyue’s eyes were watery, her cheeks were a peachy color, and ripples of moisture were spreading, like lotus petals falling on a lake. Xiao Dengqu’s heart was fluttering. She licked her lips. It was a shame that she didn’t get to kiss her enough.
“What, what happened? Why did you fall?” Shi Fanxing came over and saw Shi Mingyue sitting on the ground. Shi Mingyue immediately stood up. She looked away from Shi Fanxing’s gaze, but her panic was still visible.
Shi Fanxing was confused and wanted to see what happened. She quickened her pace and saw Xiao Dengqu pursing her lips, with a smile in her eyes. Shi Fanxing asked what was wrong again.
Xiao Dengqu said, “We were fighting for food. I shoved a bunch into my mouth, and then I got too excited and fell.”
This excuse was full of holes and completely unbelievable. Shi Mingyue was not the kind of person who would fight for food. Shi Fanxing also looked skeptical. Shi Mingyue glanced at her and said, “I slipped. I was afraid she would fall, so I held on to her, and I accidentally fell.”
Xiao Dengqu didn’t like this explanation at all. She wanted to say more, like, “Mm-hmm, we were fighting for it with our mouths.”
Shi Mingyue went to grab her wheelchair. This time, the wheels moved. Shi Mingyue repeatedly looked at Xiao Dengqu’s feet. She was both angry and concerned as she asked, “Are you okay? Did you hurt your leg?”
“Mm-hmm, it hurts a little, but it’s not a big deal.”
“Do you need my help?” Shi Fanxing asked.
“No, thank you,” Xiao Dengqu said. “I want the teacher to push me.”
Shi Mingyue held the handle and pushed Xiao Dengqu toward the ward. Shi Fanxing suggested they go out for dinner. She had gotten her salary. And since Xiao Dengqu had been here for so long, it was a good time to be a good host.
“I already talked to Mom. I’m going downstairs to get her food later.”
“Okay.”
“Then you two don’t have to come. I’ll stay here tonight. You two can walk around nearby. The place is small, but it should be nice to walk around at night.”
They sat in the ward for a while. Zou Huiqin told Xiao Dengqu not to be shy and to order whatever she wanted to eat. Xiao Dengqu politely said that Shi Mingyue cooked very well and that she had already eaten the host’s food, so it didn’t matter if they went out or not.
Zou Huiqin was amused by her. She thought she was a good child. She was rich but not arrogant. She hadn’t made a fuss or been picky since she came. She was so well-behaved.
Xiao Dengqu glanced at Shi Mingyue and said, “Right, Master?”
What a strange title to use in front of her mom. Shi Mingyue felt weird all over. She reminded her softly, “Call me Teacher.”
“But we’re not in a contract relationship anymore. You’re not renewing it either,” Xiao Dengqu said with a smile. It sounded like she was settling a score with Shi Mingyue, questioning why she left. The young lady was still holding a grudge.
When it was time, Shi Fanxing went downstairs to get the food. Shi Mingyue pushed Xiao Dengqu downstairs. Shi Mingyue also had to pay the bill, so Xiao Dengqu pushed her own wheelchair to wait for Yueyue outside. Shi Mingyue asked her to call Yueyue to join them for dinner.
Xiao Dengqu was making a phone call outside. Just as she was about to dial the number, a shadow fell over her. She smelled the odor of a man’s sweat. The tall figure on the ground clenched his fists.
She pressed down on the call button and said to the person behind her in a low voice, “Stay away from me. You stink.”
The voice behind her gritted his teeth. The man cursed angrily, “Shi Fanxing, I should have strangled you to death back then. What were you and your sister doing upstairs? What were you doing just now?”
The questioning voice also seemed to carry a foul smell. Xiao Dengqu’s arm pressed against the wheel, and she slowly circled the man. She looked up at him in confusion.
“You’re so shameless. You were watching us kiss.”
“She’s your biological sister! Biological sister!” The man was so angry that he started to tremble. Xiao Dengqu looked at him, her lips curled up. She smiled at him.
Xiao Dengqu tapped her cheek with her finger. Shi Chongbin thought she was afraid of him. But she opened her lips and said, “Oh.”
Shi Chongbin was so angry that he lost control. This was completely unlike his daughter!
“Mm-hmm, so what if we’re biological sisters?” Xiao Dengqu’s voice was low and questioning.
“You’re still asking ‘what’! Are you shameless?” The man was furious. He clenched his fists as if he was about to hit someone. The veins on his forehead were popping out.
Xiao Dengqu’s wheelchair circled him. “Oh, oh, oh. Dad, you don’t approve of me and my sister being together, but I love my sister so much. What am I going to do? Why can’t we be together?”
“She’s your biological sister! What do you mean ‘why’?”
Xiao Dengqu said, “That’s ridiculous. We’re not having kids. So what if we’re biological sisters? There won’t be any genetic problems.”
The man was about to hit her. Xiao Dengqu laughed and said in confusion, “Wow, so a domestic abuser would also care about ethics and morals!”
“There are so many people here. If you hit me, you’ll go to jail. Also, what if people find out that biological sisters are together? How embarrassing would that be for a dad?”
Shi Chongbin’s face was twitching. He was so angry at his “daughter” that he wanted to punch her.
But his daughter didn’t seem to be afraid at all. She knew that with people coming and going, Shi Chongbin wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on her. She kept provoking him, saying, “With a dad who’s a domestic abuser, biologically speaking, it’s easy for the child to have super-male syndrome. Mm-hmm, it’s better to not have any descendants.”
“Besides, my name isn’t Shi Fanxing anymore. I changed my name behind Mom’s back a long time ago. I took Mom’s last name. My name is now Dengqu. My sister and I are now sisters from different last names. Dad, will you bless us now?”
Xiao Dengqu blinked at him and said, “Dad, be happy. When I get married, I’ll let you sit at the head of the table. Aren’t you happy?”
“Dad, say something. Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Have you come to a realization, Dad?”
Xiao Dengqu stopped circling him and stopped in front of him. Her eyes were pitch black, and her tone was no longer light. She said, “If Dad is too stupid, I’ll want to smash your head with this wheelchair and crack your skull open.”
