Being a Tutor to a Rich, Psychopathic Young Lady - Chapter 9

Chapter 9

Shi Mingyue said in a muffled voice, “I don’t find you annoying.”

“And you’re not stupid.”

“I feel like you know how to do some of the problems, but you always seem to get them wrong. Just pay attention from now on.” Shi Mingyue said, “I don’t think you’re an idiot.”

Xiao Dengqu held her hand and remained silent. After a long time, she looked up, looking extremely wronged. “I’ll listen to the teacher.”

Shi Mingyue messaged the steward to let her know they were safe. The steward replied: [I contacted the driver, but he’s already off duty.]

Shi Mingyue was confused. Shouldn’t a wealthy family’s driver be on call 24/7?

Xiao Dengqu explained, “My dad’s driver is like that. I used to not go out at night, and I only have one driver. He needs to rest and can’t drive while tired.”

What she said made sense.

At this point, Xiao Dengqu’s phone was dead, and it wasn’t safe for Shi Mingyue to call a car for her, so she decided to take her back to her dorm first. Shi Mingyue said, “You can go to my dorm to charge your phone first and wait for the steward to pick you up.”

Xiao Dengqu nodded in agreement. Shi Mingyue pulled her hand out of her grip. Her fingers were sweaty. As Shi Mingyue turned her back, she sighed softly. The electric scooter she had ridden here had been taken. Now she could only walk and look for another shared electric scooter.

After walking for about ten minutes, Shi Mingyue looked back at Xiao Dengqu. Xiao Dengqu was still holding the two cups of milk tea. Her figure was elongated by the streetlights. Her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes gently covered her eyelids, casting a not-so-soft shadow. Noticing Shi Mingyue’s gaze, Xiao Dengqu’s lips were slightly pursed, looking both well-behaved and wronged.

“Are you tired?” Shi Mingyue asked with concern.

Xiao Dengqu first shook her head, then nodded.

Shi Mingyue took the milk tea from her hand and threw it into a nearby trash can. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t find a scooter.”

“It’s okay.” The young lady was incredibly well-behaved.

Shi Mingyue then went to a pharmacy, and with a bag of medicine in hand, she took Xiao Dengqu back to her dorm.

The door opened, and a blast of cold air hit them. Her body, which had been in the stuffy heat for so long, finally felt a sense of relief.

Shi Mingyue pulled open a drawer and took out a charger, handing it to Xiao Dengqu. Xiao Dengqu’s gaze fell on the storage box on her desk. Shi Mingyue’s heart tightened, and she shoved the storage box into the drawer.

While Xiao Dengqu was charging her phone, Shi Mingyue watched the screen next to her.

Xiao Dengqu charged it for two minutes before pressing the power button. Shi Mingyue’s charger was not very compatible with hers. After two minutes, the battery was still at “0.”

Xiao Dengqu looked up at her, asking in confusion, “Teacher, what’s wrong?”

Shi Mingyue looked away. What else could it be? She wanted to see if she was lying. Shi Mingyue said unnaturally, “I’m going to get a handkerchief.”

Xiao Dengqu nodded lightly. After Shi Mingyue turned around, her lips tightened. She sent a message to the female steward: “Don’t come to pick me up.”

“I hate Cheng Jin.”

After typing the last two words, all the smiles disappeared from Xiao Dengqu’s face, like a lemon tea in summer that had suddenly lost its ice cubes, becoming warm and dull.

Shi Mingyue didn’t have any other clean handkerchiefs. She had originally thought of borrowing her roommate’s face towel, but her roommate wasn’t here today.

She scrubbed her own handkerchief with shower gel several times and then returned to hand it to Xiao Dengqu. “Wipe this.”

“Wipe what?” Xiao Dengqu asked her in confusion.

Shi Mingyue said gently, “Look up.”

Xiao Dengqu looked up. Shi Mingyue carefully wiped the red, scratched area on her neck. She used a wet wipe for her arms and legs.

Shi Mingyue usually just endured mosquito bites, but now she was applying a layer of ointment for her. Xiao Dengqu kept her eyes on her movements. Shi Mingyue’s movements were very light, but they created a sensation that was even itchier than a mosquito bite.

Sensing the gaze from above, Shi Mingyue looked up at her. “Hmm?”

Xiao Dengqu said, “Aren’t you going to take a shower? I’m a little uncomfortable.”

Since Shi Mingyue’s voice was low, she also lowered her voice.

Indeed, after being in the sun for so long, the young lady must have suffered a great deal.

Shi Mingyue found one of her nightgowns in the closet and handed it to her. She then went to get the shower gel. “Go take a shower.”

Xiao Dengqu took the shower gel and went into the bathroom. The familiar scent wafted out, a mixture of pomegranate and a kind of flower.

Shi Mingyue used her card to adjust the water temperature. She turned her head and saw Xiao Dengqu sniffing the shower gel. Shi Mingyue felt embarrassed. She had bought the cheapest shower gel at the supermarket.

The door closed, and the sound of water running in the bathroom began. Shi Mingyue opened WeChat and sent her location to the steward.

Ten minutes later, Xiao Dengqu came out quietly, holding her clothes.

Hearing the sound, Shi Mingyue put down her mouse and said, “Come here.”

Xiao Dengqu walked over to her, lifted her collar, and sniffed. Her delicate nose twitched. “Teacher smells so good.”

An inexplicable heat flushed Shi Mingyue’s face. She squeezed out the ointment and applied it again to Xiao Dengqu’s skin, rubbing the area with her finger. It was the same sensation again—soft and itchy. She liked it all over again.

Shi Mingyue said softly, “I’m sorry, Xiao Qu.”

Xiao Dengqu looked at Shi Mingyue in confusion. Shi Mingyue changed her position to apply the ointment, making her put her feet on the chair to apply it to her legs as well.

So strange.

She did it on purpose, and the teacher is apologizing to her.

Can a teacher also be wrong?

So cute.

“It’s okay, teacher. I forgive you,” Xiao Dengqu said with a smile, but she would forever hate Cheng Jin.

Her entire body was enveloped in the teacher’s scent, touched by the teacher’s fingers, and she could hear the teacher’s beautiful lips saying sorry to her.

Shi Mingyue took a tissue to wipe her fingers. She capped the ointment and pointed to the bed. “Go lie down for a while. The steward will be here soon.”

Xiao Dengqu pouted her lips.

Shi Mingyue saw that she hadn’t moved and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Are you still sad?”

Xiao Dengqu said softly, gripping the hem of her nightgown, “Teacher, I don’t have any underwear to wear.”

“Don’t lift it!” Seeing that she was about to lift her skirt, Shi Mingyue quickly stopped her. Shi Mingyue had thought she wouldn’t change, but on second thought, after waiting so long in the library on such a hot day, she must have been soaked in sweat, not to mention the young lady’s obsession with cleanliness. But she didn’t have any clean or unworn ones either. Shi Mingyue said, “You go up first. I’ll talk to the steward.”

“Okay.” Xiao Dengqu grabbed the frame and climbed up. Shi Mingyue wanted to grab the hem of her skirt for her.

After almost half an hour, Xiao Dengqu looked down again. Shi Mingyue was propping her chin with her hand and yawning, looking extremely tired.

Xiao Dengqu sent a message to the female steward: “She’s not sleeping with me.”

Steward Xiao: “Miss, I can’t control that.”

Lying on Shi Mingyue’s bed, Xiao Dengqu grabbed the blanket and put it over her stomach. She then picked up the blanket and sniffed it. It smelled so good.

Xiao Dengqu covered her entire head with the blanket.

Her body was soaked in an indescribable fragrance.

It gave her a strange idea: What would it be like to be in the blanket with the teacher? What would it be like to kiss in there?

Curious. I want to try.

I’m thinking about the teacher’s lips.

The bed was tapped twice. Xiao Dengqu poked her head out and looked over. “What’s wrong?”

Shi Mingyue handed her a cup of water. “Drink some.”

Xiao Dengqu held the cup, and the water moistened her dry throat.

After drinking, she handed the cup back to Shi Mingyue.

Shi Mingyue took the cup, her gaze not moving back. It was the first time she had stared at Xiao Dengqu for so long.

“Xiao Qu, you’re not stupid. Study hard and wait for your mind to open up.” Shi Mingyue said seriously. She also complimented her. “You’re beautiful and very cute.”

Xiao Dengqu stared at her for several seconds. “Okay, teacher.”

She said, “Teacher, let’s sleep together.”

Shi Mingyue had originally thought of putting something on the floor to sleep on, but Xiao Dengqu’s gaze was fixed on her.

She didn’t doubt for a second that if she slept on the floor, Xiao Dengqu would climb down. Shi Mingyue said, “You sleep. I’ll come up later after I finish my data.” She also reminded her to cover herself with the blanket so she wouldn’t catch a cold.

“Okay.”

Shi Mingyue’s appearance was not very gentle. Her eyebrows were long and thin, and her lips were on the paler side, making her look cool and aloof.

Xiao Dengqu lay down for a while, then gently propped herself up and grabbed the railing to look down. Shi Mingyue was indeed working on her data. The light from the computer shone on her delicate face. A strand of hair fell and stuck to her cheek, and she unconsciously tucked it behind her ear.

I still want to kiss her.

Shi Mingyue was looking at the school’s online forums. She would take on some work there. For some courses, she needed to do data and design, and she would take on a few odd jobs. She had been working for an hour and noticed that the steward still hadn’t responded. She sent another message to the steward, asking her to bring a change of clothes for Xiao Dengqu when she came.

Steward Xiao: “Please let her stay with you today.”

This was naturally unacceptable. Shi Mingyue typed a refusal.

Steward Xiao: “Transferred 4000 yuan to you.”

Shi Mingyue: “?”

Steward Xiao: “Please take her out for a day, show her around your school, and give her some motivation to study so that she can at least meet the university’s entrance requirements.”

The money wasn’t the issue; the grades were…

Steward Xiao: “This is the tour guide fee for one day. Her living expenses will be reimbursed separately. If she gets fired up to study, there will be another reward.”

Shi Mingyue: “Okay, I think Xiao Qu has a lot of hope of getting into our school. She’s not stupid. It’s just that the test questions happened to be ones she wasn’t good at.”

Steward Xiao: “…Isn’t that an exaggeration?”

Shi Mingyue also felt that she was stretching the truth and felt awkward. The steward sent another message: “She gets homesick and can’t sleep in new places. Please sleep with her for a while. If she really can’t fall asleep, give her a goodnight kiss.”

Shi Mingyue: “She’s already asleep.”

A minute later, the overworked Steward Xiao: “Get some rest early.”

Shi Mingyue closed the chat interface. She climbed up the frame to look, and the young lady was indeed asleep. The blanket was wrapped too tightly around her face, making her flush with heat. She pulled the blanket down and saw Xiao Dengqu’s round nose. She couldn’t resist poking it twice with her finger.

At this moment, the long legs moved. Shi Mingyue glanced over and quickly covered her legs with the blanket.

The next day, Xiao Dengqu woke up naturally. Shi Mingyue wasn’t next to her, and she wasn’t on the bed below her either. She looked over at the balcony.

The pure-colored bra and panties she had been wearing yesterday were hanging on the clothesline. The July sun was shining directly on them, drying them thoroughly.

She had fallen asleep, and Shi Mingyue had washed them for her.

The teacher is so good.

The young lady pinched her ear. It was so hot.

Oh no, my ear has a fever.
