Being a Tutor to a Rich, Psychopathic Young Lady - Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Shi Chongbin was furious, and he was inexplicably afraid of this “little daughter.” His fist was already at her face, but with so many people around, he couldn’t do anything. Shi Chongbin looked back, stared at Xiao Dengqu, and said, “You wait. I’ll come find you again. You’d better not tell your sister.”

“I’m going to tell her,” Xiao Dengqu said, blinking her eyes.

Shi Chongbin pointed at her nose and said, “You just wait. I’ll teach you a lesson.”

Xiao Dengqu laughed.

Shi Chongbin gnashed his teeth and cursed a few times. Not long after, Shi Mingyue and Shi Fanxing came out together. Xiao Dengqu raised her eyebrows.

“Are you hot?” Shi Mingyue asked.

The sun was still high in the sky, and the heat was causing sweat to drip down. Xiao Dengqu shook her head. Shi Mingyue pushed her forward. Shi Fanxing chattered about a delicious restaurant she had been to before, where drinks were free.

“The soy milk inside is super delicious,” Shi Fanxing highly recommended.

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, they found that the free soy milk and milk tea were gone. Shi Fanxing cursed. She cursed from the moment the dishes were served until they started eating. She analyzed everything. This restaurant was going to fail. It didn’t have much competitiveness in the first place, and it even canceled the free drinks. They didn’t even give away sour plum soup. “Trash, trash.”

Xiao Dengqu agreed and then asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say it was delicious?”

“Hmph, that’s on the basis of being free. They really don’t know how to do business.” Shi Fanxing told Xiao Dengqu that when she and Zou Huiqin used to sell barbecue skewers at the night market, their family didn’t have an advantage until she came up with a brilliant idea.

“Mm-hmm, what brilliant idea?” Xiao Dengqu asked enthusiastically.

“If you spend over 15, you get a free sour plum soup! If you spend over 25, you get free iced jelly!”

Xiao Dengqu was full of surprise and praised her for being so smart. Shi Fanxing then said that Shi Mingyue’s double-skin milk was delicious and asked if she had ever had it.

“No,” Xiao Dengqu said, looking at Shi Mingyue. She looked at her with some expectation. Shi Mingyue took a tissue and wiped off the dipping sauce from her chin. After she was done, she was stunned. She was too skilled, and it was too intimate.

Shi Fanxing was also surprised. She had never been so close to Shi Mingyue. She couldn’t help but feel a little sour inside.

Shi Mingyue folded the tissue and threw it in the trash can. She used the serving chopsticks to grill the meat and said to Shi Fanxing, “The meat is ready. Do you want some?”

Shi Fanxing wrapped it in lettuce and ate it. Xiao Dengqu also took a piece of lettuce and wrapped it like her, then brought it to Shi Mingyue’s mouth and said, “You eat it.”

Shi Mingyue glanced at Shi Fanxing opposite her and opened her mouth to eat it.

Shi Fanxing: “Is she a bit of a schemer?”

Shi Mingyue stopped when she was full. The two people next to her could eat a lot. In the end, there were only potato slices left. They hadn’t finished the fried rice. Shi Fanxing took a box and packed it up to take to the hospital to eat as a late-night snack when she got hungry.

Shi Mingyue was about to pay, but Shi Fanxing stopped her. After paying, they rode a shared e-bike to the hospital.

Compared to Shi Mingyue’s few words, Shi Fanxing was lively and enthusiastic. She had a group of good friends. She was constantly replying to messages during dinner.

Xiao Dengqu asked, “If you were sent to Auntie’s place, would you be like her?”

Shi Mingyue thought about it and shook her head.

It was her nature. She wouldn’t be that enthusiastic.

“Maybe. Maybe the teacher would become that kind of warm and gentle person, or maybe she would become very confident,” Xiao Dengqu said.

“Really?” Shi Mingyue’s lips curled into a smile. She didn’t think too much about it.

When they passed a food stall, Shi Mingyue bought her a double-skin milk with red beans. Xiao Dengqu used a spoon to draw a line in the middle. Shi Mingyue got one half, and she ate the other.

The only place that could be considered a scenic spot in the county was the Pavilion of All Stars. At night, it would light up, with the names of various top scholars hanging on it. On specific days, various people would go to worship.

Shi Mingyue sat on the steps of the climbing platform, holding the wheelchair with one hand. Xiao Dengqu ate a bite and fed her a bite. The two spoons were almost mixed up.

“The teacher’s name is on there, right?” Xiao Dengqu said.

Shi Mingyue said, “I haven’t gone to see it.”

Xiao Dengqu wanted to go and see it, but she was in a wheelchair. Shi Mingyue didn’t seem to be interested in anything, including her own honors.

Xiao Dengqu: “If I do very, very well on my exams, my dad will be very happy.”

Shi Mingyue: “Then study hard for your exams.”

Xiao Dengqu snorted. “That’s too easy for him.”

“Hmm?”

“My dad is a businessman. If he gets something too easily, he’ll get greedy and want more,” Xiao Dengqu said seriously. “Then my dad will keep demanding things from me, treating me like his subordinate, and I won’t be his daughter anymore. I won’t be able to make any demands of him.” And because I’m a minor, the only thing I can trade with him is my grades.

If my grades are good, my dad will say, ‘Why were you so bad this time? You have to do this and that, or I’ll never give you anything again.’

If my grades are bad, my dad will say, ‘However you do on this exam, I’ll do this and that. Dad will give you everything…’

In the end, there were only two red beans left in the bowl. She gave one to Shi Mingyue and one to herself. She said, “But I’m really stupid. My brain is empty. I can only learn if someone teaches me.”

Shi Mingyue didn’t think so. Xiao Dengqu wasn’t stupid. She just used these as leverage. Otherwise, Xiao Chengyue wouldn’t love her.

Shi Mingyue could only comprehend “love.” She wasn’t sure what kind of love it was. She thought Xiao Dengqu was simply lacking in love and seeking her father’s love. How could she know that what Xiao Dengqu wanted was a deep love, a love where Xiao Chengyue couldn’t have any other children, where he would be tolerant of her, and where he would listen to her?

Otherwise, how could a child without a mother’s protection grow up under her father’s broken raincoat?

Shi Mingyue asked her curiously, “Then does your dad really have a love child?”

“I don’t know now. He almost had one before,” Xiao Dengqu said.

Shi Mingyue showed her curiosity, which was rare for her. Xiao Dengqu then told her, “When I was little, my dad was with someone he had liked for a long time. We were living in England at the time, and they were about to get married.”

Shi Mingyue: “Your parents weren’t in a free love relationship?”

Xiao Dengqu shook her head.

“They got married because they were a good match and from a similar social class. My grandma didn’t like my mom at all,” Xiao Dengqu sighed. “She was a super pitiful woman.”

She married a man she didn’t love, had a child, ran away with her lover two months later, and died in a car accident. Luckily, she didn’t try to take the child with her. The child lived.

When Xiao Dengqu was three, Xiao Chengyue brought a woman home. She was his college girlfriend. The girlfriend wasn’t married. The two of them dated for half a year and moved into the Xiao family. The girlfriend was tall and delicate, with a graceful figure. She was very nice to Xiao Dengqu. The first time they met, she bought her clothes and a cute doll. She was very patient and played with Xiao Dengqu. Xiao Dengqu sweetly called her “Mom” and really liked this beautiful mom.

One night, when Xiao Dengqu went to find her, she overheard her on the phone. The woman was telling her girlfriend on the other end, “It’s fine. The kid is little. I’m raising her now. I’m her mom. When our relationship gets better, she definitely won’t want all the inheritance. She’ll have to split it with me fifty-fifty. After Xiao Chengyue and I have a child, I’ll definitely get more. I’m not stupid. And this kid is pretty well-behaved. It’s good to get along peacefully and split everything fifty-fifty.”

Xiao Dengqu, holding a doll, widened her eyes.

“Dad doesn’t love me enough, and now someone else is coming to share his love. Just a little bit of love would be enough for her, but she wants to split it fifty-fifty.”

She counted on her fingers and found that half was the other hand.

“Oh no, chopping off a hand would be too scary.”

From some day on, the woman’s makeup would often go missing. She first suspected the servants. After checking all of them, the surveillance showed that Xiao Dengqu would go to her room and grab them.

The woman told Xiao Chengyue. Xiao Chengyue didn’t suspect Xiao Dengqu of “stealing.” After all, everything in the Xiao family was hers. Xiao Dengqu could come and go as she pleased. If she wanted something, she could just ask. When he asked Xiao Dengqu, she sat on a chair, swinging her legs, and said with a smile, “I ate it!”

Xiao Chengyue frowned, not understanding.

“Mommy said the chocolates were edible and would make my lips smell good, and Dad would like me a lot. I ate them all, so Dad will like me the most.”

Xiao Chengyue looked at the woman in shock. The woman hadn’t figured it out yet and said, “How could you eat that? You knew you couldn’t eat it when you put it in your mouth!”

Xiao Dengqu asked in confusion, “Oh, then why didn’t you tell me when I took it?”

“And you kept putting it on your mouth. When I asked you, you said it was edible. Mm-hmm, but that water didn’t taste good. It made me want to throw up.” Xiao Dengqu walked up to Xiao Chengyue, leaned in close, and said, “Dad, do you like Xiaoqu? Do I smell good?”

Xiao Chengyue frowned. “Xiao Dengqu, you can’t eat that.”

“Oh.”

“It’ll kill you.”

“If I die, will a little sister or little brother grow out of me?” Xiao Dengqu asked curiously. “Will Mommy feed these to the little sister or little brother? What if Dad only likes Mommy and doesn’t like my little siblings? That would be so pitiful.”

The servants found a lot of makeup in Xiao Dengqu’s room. The woman had actually suspected Xiao Dengqu from the beginning and wanted Xiao Chengyue to check and manage her. Stealing was a bad habit, and if it was confirmed… Xiao Dengqu would definitely be disliked by Xiao Chengyue.

Unexpectedly, the lipsticks all had teeth marks on them. The water in the bottles was also mostly gone. Xiao Dengqu continued to swing her legs and said, “It’s super disgusting. Mommy, you shouldn’t feed it to Dad anymore.”

After the incident, Xiao Chengyue and his girlfriend had a falling out. The girlfriend was no longer so nice to Xiao Dengqu. She would always look at Xiao Dengqu with a strange expression.

She even took Xiao Dengqu to the hospital once, saying it was for a physical check-up, but she was actually asking the doctor if Xiao Dengqu had pica.

Xiao Dengqu called Xiao Chengyue, and Xiao Chengyue came to pick her up to go home. She hugged Xiao Chengyue’s neck and asked him, “Dad, you didn’t think I stole things, so why did you and Mommy check me together?”

Xiao Chengyue didn’t answer.

Xiao Dengqu answered for him: “Because Dad doesn’t love me that much anymore. When I’m really sick, Dad will love Mommy half as much, and Mommy will be able to chop off one of my hands.”

Men aren’t stupid. They just pretend to be confused.

Dad knew that the woman had a motive to frame her, but he still had people search her room and asked her in front of everyone because he loved that woman a little. But Xiao Dengqu’s performance was so good that his love for his girlfriend was less than his love for Xiao Dengqu.

Xiao Dengqu hugged Xiao Chengyue’s neck tightly.

“I love Dad so much. I’ll always love Dad. No matter how many mommies and siblings come, I’ll only love Dad forever.”

Later, Xiao Dengqu followed Xiao Chengyue back to China. The woman didn’t come back with them.

At night, on her way home from the night market, Xiao Dengqu sent a message to Xiao Chengyue. She would voluntarily report what she was doing every day.

She typed: Dad, can you come and protect me early? I’m afraid someone will be too impatient and want to kill me. If I die, Dad will never have a cute baby like me again.

“Dad will lose the person who loves him the most in the world.”

“（＾＿＾）”

…

Shi Mingyue wasn’t very good at shopping. And this was a small place. There weren’t many places to shop. There wasn’t a decent night market either, just some small food stalls.

During the day, she switched with Shi Fanxing. Shi Mingyue pushed Xiao Dengqu to the supermarket to shop and see what they needed to buy. After the whole trip, Xiao Dengqu only bought some yogurt, saying she wanted to give a row back to her aunt.

Xiao Dengqu had a habit of drinking milk. Shi Mingyue would give her a bottle of yogurt every day. Because of her personality, Shi Mingyue was afraid of causing trouble for others. She was always careful and would always clean her aunt’s house when she stayed there.

There was a salesperson offering samples. Xiao Dengqu took one and nodded. Shi Mingyue weighed some snacks. When she came out and smelled the milky scent of the bakery, she bought a lot of milky bread.

Xiao Dengqu gave the yogurt back to her aunt and took the bread to the hospital. She and Shi Fanxing shared it. They both studied high school subjects. Shi Mingyue taught them together, and the exercises were the same. Xiao Dengqu’s accuracy was higher than Shi Fanxing’s.

Shi Fanxing looked at Xiao Dengqu’s leg in confusion. “Don’t you need to change your bandage?”

Xiao Dengqu said, “I do.”

Shi Fanxing said, “Then why haven’t I seen you change it?”

Xiao Dengqu said, “Yueyue takes me to the hotel at night to change it. My personal doctor is staying at the hotel.”

“Oh, okay.” Shi Fanxing propped her chin on her hand, tapping her face with the tip of her pen. She was still looking at Xiao Dengqu’s leg. Xiao Dengqu’s eyes darkened for a moment. She secretly tugged on Shi Mingyue’s clothes. “Your sister keeps looking at me.”

Shi Mingyue sent a message to Shi Fanxing: Don’t keep staring at her leg. It’s rude.

Shi Fanxing: I was thinking that since she’s been hanging out with us and not going back to the hotel much, I was worried that she’d miss her time to change her bandage, and it wouldn’t heal quickly. Mom’s wound still needs medicine on it. I might as well change it for her while I’m here.

Shi Mingyue thought it made sense: I’ll ask her.

Shi Fanxing: Why do you keep scolding me?

Shi Mingyue carefully looked at the chat history. She hadn’t really scolded her. Shi Fanxing was a little jealous. Wasn’t Shi Mingyue her sister? Why did Shi Mingyue always seem to favor Xiao Dengqu?

Shi Mingyue: Her family pays a lot.

Shi Fanxing: Okay, okay. Then you can keep criticizing me.

Shi Mingyue: I’m not criticizing you.

Shi Fanxing: Hmph, I’m angry now. I’m not your favorite sister anymore.

Shi Fanxing sent the message. When she looked up, she saw Xiao Dengqu clinging to her sister’s arm, seriously reading what her sister was chatting about. Xiao Dengqu was reading very seriously, and from her angle, Xiao Dengqu’s puffed-up cheeks looked very serious, making her look a little sinister.

Shi Mingyue turned her phone to show her. Xiao Dengqu nodded and sat back.

Shi Fanxing frowned. “So weird.”

In the evening, Shi Mingyue planned to switch with Shi Fanxing and let Shi Fanxing go back to get a good night’s sleep. Shi Fanxing said it wasn’t necessary. She would be going back to school soon. Then her sister would be more tired by herself, so she might as well stay and watch over her for the next few days.

“Besides, I’m a restless sleeper. What if I kick Xiao Dengqu’s leg and hurt her?”

Xiao Dengqu didn’t say anything.

Shi Mingyue didn’t respond either. If she stayed here, Xiao Dengqu would most likely stay here as well.

Even Zou Huiqin thought so.

When they went downstairs, Xiao Dengqu didn’t go with Shi Mingyue. Yueyue came to pick up Xiao Dengqu to take her to the hotel to change her bandage.

The car took Shi Mingyue back first. Xiao Dengqu said, “You have to wait for me to come over.”

“Okay,” Shi Mingyue nodded. Suddenly, she remembered what she said… was it about taking a bath?

The car didn’t go to the hotel. On the way, several bodyguards got into the car. They were strong and powerful, all selected from a professional bodyguard company.

“We’ve found everything. This man is staying at an inn. He often plays cards at the mahjong parlor during the day and comes out for some barbecue at night.”

Xiao Dengqu softly hummed and looked out the window. The Pavilion of All Stars stood tall, and the lights were on. She wanted to see which light belonged to Shi Mingyue tonight.

Shi Chongbin came out of the mahjong parlor after playing cards. When he was passing through a small alley and reached a dark area, the bodyguards rushed out of the car and held him down. Shi Chongbin struggled for a bit. Xiao Dengqu pointed at the bag on the ground, and soon Shi Chongbin’s head was covered.

Xiao Dengqu stood up. Without any introduction, she picked up the wheelchair and smashed it down hard. A pig-like scream came from below. Xiao Dengqu smashed it again and again.

Shi Chongbin lay on the ground, motionless, as if he were dead. Xiao Dengqu directly stepped on his fingers. Shi Chongbin stopped playing dead and screamed and cried. Xiao Dengqu politely said, “I’m sorry, I stepped in the wrong place.”

With that, she picked up the wheelchair and smashed it down again. This time, she stepped on Shi Chongbin’s face, grinding it hard. She kept stepping on him until he screamed. Shi Chongbin cursed at her in various dialects. Xiao Dengqu didn’t understand much of what he said, but she heard him call her a little b1tch. Xiao Dengqu raised her leg high and stomped down hard.

She said, “I should have just dismembered you and turned you into nutrients for the microorganisms in the mud.”

“What a shame.”

Xiao Dengqu mumbled that she was an adult and couldn’t kill people.

She then squatted down and used her cat-ear-shaped brass knuckles to smash him hard. Shi Chongbin screamed until he couldn’t move. Only then did Xiao Dengqu stop. She re-positioned the wheelchair. Xiao Dengqu sat on the chair and was pushed away.

Xiao Dengqu pinched her clothes and sniffed them. She frowned. “Did I get smelly?”

Who would dare to smell her scent? With their eyes closed, they praised, “Young lady smells very good.”

“Mm-hmm…” Xiao Dengqu frowned. She said with a look of disgust, “I smell bad.”

She tore off her gloves and threw them to the bodyguard. “Take me back. I want to take a bath.”

Having the teacher help her take a comfortable bath and wash off the bad smell on her body would make her super happy and comfortable.

She took a bath every day. Xiao Dengqu loved taking baths. It was just… it would be great if the teacher could lick her. This feeling was strange and wonderful, giving her a bizarre illness in a leg that could only walk, leaving it empty and craving.

“Mm-hmm, I really am crippled now.”

So, Xiao Dengqu felt more at ease. “I’m a little good-for-nothing now.”

She really wanted to go back now and have the teacher help her take a bath immediately.

Although she didn’t leave any fingerprints, she still told the bodyguard to throw away the gloves. If that man lost his mind and called the police, it would be easy for her to be exposed. Hitting people was very bad.

“Oh, right. He’ll probably go to the ward tomorrow.”

When they got downstairs, Xiao Dengqu told Shi Mingyue to come down and pick her up so she could be close to her on the way up. After so many times of their bodies being close, Shi Mingyue would still get shy.

She sent a message to Shi Mingyue. Two minutes later, Shi Mingyue came out of the dark stairwell. Her phone was lit up. She looked at Xiao Dengqu’s side. “Where’s Yueyue?”

“I told her to go back first,” Xiao Dengqu said.

Shi Mingyue hugged her to help her upstairs, just like before. Their bodies were pressed together. In the darkness, their breaths mixed and fermented.

Xiao Dengqu hummed in enjoyment. She secretly looked at Shi Mingyue. The teacher didn’t seem to notice anything different about her.

On the last step, Shi Mingyue said, “Are you hot?”

She noticed.

Because she hit someone so hard, she was sweating.

“Do I smell bad?” Xiao Dengqu asked.

“No,” Shi Mingyue said. “I’m just afraid you’re uncomfortable.”

When they opened the door, there was the sound of water in the bathroom.

Xiao Dengqu frowned. “Who is it?”

Her tone was like she had caught someone cheating. Shi Mingyue said, “Xingxing came back to get her books and decided to take a shower.”

Soon, Shi Fanxing came out. Her hair was wet. She squeezed it hard and went to the coffee table to get her books. She yelled, “I’m leaving,” and then walked backward to the door. She squinted her eyes and asked Xiao Dengqu, “How are you going to take a bath?”

Shi Mingyue, who was in the room getting Xiao Dengqu’s clothes, had her fingers shake. The bra she was holding in her hand was put back. She didn’t come out of the bedroom. Xiao Dengqu said, “Your sister will wash me.”

“?”

Shi Fanxing’s eyes widened slightly. She took two steps forward. “You’re gay! How can you let my sister wash you?”

Xiao Dengqu was confused. “What does that have to do with anything?”

“It has a lot to do with it! My sister doesn’t know you like girls!” Shi Fanxing said seriously. Xiao Dengqu stopped talking. Her eyes were displeased. Shi Mingyue put the books under her arm and said seriously, “I’ll help you. I’ll wash you.”

Shi Fanxing pushed her wheelchair. Xiao Dengqu pressed a button, and she couldn’t push it. Xiao Dengqu said, “Didn’t you say I shouldn’t be with that heartless woman? Or else…”

“No. I’m just helping you take a bath, but good friends can’t become a couple. I can’t accept that,” Shi Fanxing said. “Don’t worry. I often take a bath with my best friend at school too!”

Xiao Dengqu: “Then why can’t I take a bath with your sister? Is your sister also gay?”

Shi Fanxing felt a little dizzy. She couldn’t respond, but after thinking about it, she accurately found the button on the wheelchair and pushed Xiao Dengqu inside.

Shi Fanxing closed the door and then took down the shower gel. “The water temperature is good. You can just wash up. I’ll go back to the hospital after you’re done.”

She then looked at Xiao Dengqu’s leg. “When will your leg get better? What are you going to do when I go to school?”

Xiao Dengqu didn’t say anything. She was thinking.

Shi Fanxing thought: “What is this love-struck idiot thinking about?”

Xiao Dengqu thought: “She should change her name to Kryptonite.”

Shi Fanxing waited for a long time and didn’t see her move. She said, “Why aren’t you taking it off yet?”

Shi Mingyue was standing outside. There was no movement inside. She couldn’t tell what the people inside were doing. She always felt that she didn’t particularly want to help Xiao Dengqu take a bath.

She got closer and heard her sister say, “Take it off! Don’t be shy!”

Imagining the scene in the bathroom through the door, even though she knew her sister was helping Xiao Dengqu, it felt strange to think of Xiao Dengqu being naked with someone else. And, the young lady should have…

Why didn’t she refuse?

Her mind was also in a mess.
