Ye Chuan Ci didn't know why he came back so early today. After Shen Jian Xi left in the afternoon, he lacked enthusiasm for anything, so he simply came back to avoid spoiling everyone's mood.
Time ticked by, and Shen Jian Xi sat in her chair, swinging her legs leisurely. The rain outside grew heavier, and lightning illuminated the entire sky.
It had been half an hour since the tutoring session ended. The young girl had still not come down. Ye Chuan Ci couldn't help but start to worry. He got up and walked upstairs.
"Host, Ye Chuan Ci is coming up." Hearing 77's notification, Shen Jian Xi, who had been relaxed, swept the neatly arranged items on the table to the floor. She curled up in a corner, her face turning pale.
"Teacher Shen? Teacher Shen?" Ye Chuan Ci knocked and called.
Thunder rumbled outside, louder than the last time.
"Ah!!!" A girl's scream came from the room.
"Shen Jian Xi!" Ye Chuan Ci's expression changed. Disregarding propriety, he opened the door and rushed in. The room was a mess, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
A faint sobbing could be heard from the bathroom. Ye Chuan Ci walked into the bathroom and turned on the light. The young girl was huddled in the corner, covering her ears with her hands, tears streaming down her face, looking as if she had been fished out of water.
77 watched, feeling speechless. She had indeed been fished out of water; it had watched Shen Jian Xi splash water on herself. Who would have thought that the woman wasn't drunk, but she could still cry so convincingly.
Ignoring the impropriety between a man and a woman, Ye Chuan Ci strode forward and pulled the young girl into his arms.
Feeling the girl's uncontrollable trembling and her icy hands, Ye Chuan Ci couldn't describe his feelings. There were no lewd thoughts, only concern.
"Rumble!" Another thunderclap. Shen Jian Xi was so frightened that she hugged the only source of warmth beside her. The cold water had indeed made her chilly.
Holding the young girl tightly, Ye Chuan Ci spoke with unprecedented gentleness, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here." As he spoke, he gently patted the girl's back. Ye Chuan Ci picked her up, his movements as light as if he were holding something fragile.
Ye Chuan Ci felt a bit at a loss. He truly had no experience in comforting girls. Besides repeating those two sentences, he had no idea what else to do.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Ye Chuan Ci carried Shen Jian Xi to his room and gently placed her on the bed. He was about to get something from the closet. The moment he let go, his sleeve was pulled. He turned his head to meet a pair of watery, almond-shaped eyes filled with vulnerability. Ye Chuan Ci felt an indescribable sensation.
77: "Beep! Favorability +20, current Ye Chuan Ci favorability 53."
"Be good, Xi Xi. I'll get something and come right back. I'll be in this room and won't go out." Hearing his words, the young girl slowly let go.
Ye Chuan Ci dared not delay for a moment. He quickly took out what he needed from the closet, got a cup, filled it halfway, and handed it to Shen Jian Xi.
Shen Jian Xi looked at the half-filled cup of wine in front of her and was speechless for a moment. Did someone really comfort a girl by giving her wine to drink? Really???
Shen Jian Xi's expression, in Ye Chuan Ci's eyes, was one of confusion. He took her hand, placed the cup in her palm, and said softly, "Be good, and you won't be afraid when you're drunk."
Perhaps it was Ye Chuan Ci's sincere expression at that moment. Shen Jian Xi held the cup and drank it down in one gulp, "Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"
She hadn't expected the wine to be so strong. The young girl coughed incessantly, and Ye Chuan Ci quickly patted her back to help her.
Before long, Shen Jian Xi's face flushed, and her eyes became hazy. Ye Chuan Ci knew the alcohol was taking effect.
"Sleep now." Ye Chuan Ci withdrew his hand, preparing to go to the guest room to rest for the night. However, the girl slept very restlessly. The moment he moved, his sleeve was grabbed again.
"Good girl, I..." Before he could finish speaking, he was pulled down with great force, losing his balance and falling onto the bed.
Before he could get up, a soft, delicate body pressed down on him, followed by a kiss with a hint of wine on his lips.
Ye Chuan Ci was stunned.
"Beep! Favorability +10, current Ye Chuan Ci favorability 63."
Feeling the warm, soft touch on his lips, Ye Chuan Ci's heart pounded. He didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Shen Jian Xi's tongue gently licked her lips.
"Boom!"
Ye Chuan Ci's mind went blank. What nonsense about being a gentleman? He wouldn't hesitate to take what he wanted. He tentatively pried open her lips, his tongue exploring. It was soft, like jelly.
Although the young girl was not fully conscious, she knew there was something in her mouth and tried to push it away with her tongue.
Sensing the girl's response, Ye Chuan Ci instantly reversed their positions. His tongue traced the shape of her lips, and he removed her troublesome long dress, showering her with kisses, his breath hot.
The thunder outside was no longer frightening. The sound of rain and thunder seemed like accompaniment. Lightning illuminated the room, and the shadows on the wall told the story.
The sound of rain slowly subsided, shyly retreating back into the clouds.
77 watched the mosaic in front of him with tears of frustration.
"Beep! Favorability +15, current Ye Chuan Ci favorability 78."
Everything happened naturally.
...
The next morning, sunlight shone on the two figures embracing nakedly.
With a soft groan, the woman slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at the man who was still sleeping soundly, Shen Jian Xi moved her arm away and got up gently. Her body ached as if she had been in a boxing match all night.
She picked up the clothes that had fallen on the floor, put them on, and glanced back at the sleeping Ye Chuan Ci before turning to leave.
When a man gets what he wants, a little bit of coldness will make him miss you more. A favorability of 78 was already close to love, and she was 100% sure Ye Chuan Ci would come looking for her.
Her legs felt so weak that Shen Jian Xi almost lost her balance on the way downstairs.
Damn it! She cursed inwardly.
She walked out of the Ye family's house and hailed a taxi. In the car, she composed a resignation text message to Gu Ruo Lan and blocked Ye Chuan Ci. Madam Gu had enthusiastically asked if anything was wrong and assured her that they would help her.
After much persuasion, she managed to convince Gu Ruo Lan that her studies were too demanding and she could no longer continue as a tutor.
Otherwise, was she supposed to say, "I slept with your son and I'm in a hurry to run away"?
Having dealt with everything, Shen Jian Xi leaned back against the seat, closed her eyes, and rested. She had been acting all night and exercising all night. Although 77 had helped her relieve the discomfort and erase the marks in the morning, the energy she had expended all night could not be eliminated.
When Ye Chuan Ci woke up, the bed beside him was already cold. He understood everything. He hadn't expected this woman to take advantage of him and then disappear.
He took out his phone, ready to call and question her, only to find that he had been blocked. He was so angry he almost laughed. Had he been abandoned after being used?
"Well done, Shen Jian Xi. Don't let me catch you, or you'll be finished," Ye Chuan Ci gritted his teeth in annoyance. "S University, sophomore, economics department, right? Just you wait."
