Chapter 72: The Little Follower at the Aristocratic School (Part 21)

Qi Yuan’s words made Si Qing’s heart tighten with anger.

A thick, inseparable hatred gradually gathered in her pale eyes.

“Disgusting thing, you think you can provoke me?”

Si Qing rarely pressured others with her presence. Her frail body couldn’t handle intense emotions, which had shaped her cold personality.

She seldom lost her temper, but this time, she was truly furious.

Si Qing’s chest heaved dramatically, her breathing heavy and rapid. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and she furrowed her brows deeply. “So you’re smug just because Shen Ke took an interest in you for a few days.”

Qi Yuan restrained her cold laugh, her expression turning serious. She said earnestly, “So what? At least I got her. What about you?”

“You don’t even have the ability to catch Shen Ke’s interest.”

“Dragging your sickly body around her is nothing but a burden to Shen Ke.”

“I bet you can’t even masturbate to Shen Ke’s moans.”

Her upbringing prevented Si Qing from uttering profanities. She gripped Shen Ke’s hand tightly, sweat beading densely on her forehead. Her face was drained of color, making her look on the verge of collapse.

Indeed, that night, Shen Ke’s voice had been too alluring. Si Qing had never heard anything like it. To say it didn’t stir her heart would be a lie, but she truly lacked even the ability to masturbate.

Si Qing stared at Qi Yuan’s face, her emotions surging into her heart like a river with opened floodgates—endless and overwhelming.

It felt dry, sore, and unbearably painful.

Ignoring it, Si Qing reached out and swung a fierce punch at Qi Yuan. “Trash!”

Qi Yuan didn’t resist, letting Si Qing’s fist land on her face.

Even in her weakened state, Si Qing was nearly an adult. A full-force punch from her wasn’t weak. Qi Yuan’s lip split open, blood trickling out in thin red streaks.

Qi Yuan sneered lightly. “Struck a nerve and lashing out in embarrassment?”

“You’re nothing without your parents. How dare you call others trash?” Qi Yuan’s eyes filled with malice. She might be poor, but that didn’t mean she had a good temper. “Did you forget how heartbroken Shen Ke was crying in front of you that time?”

“Why can you show up in front of Shen Ke with a straight face now? You couldn’t even comfort her. What right do you have to strut around here?”

“You’re the real trash.”

Si Qing clenched her fingers tightly, her vision blackening in waves. Qi Yuan’s words crushed her completely, her head throbbing with intense pain.

Si Qing’s nails dug into the back of Shen Ke’s hand. The icy coldness of her slender knuckles slowly brought Shen Ke back to her senses. Realizing what Qi Yuan had just said, Shen Ke’s face flushed bright red. She roared, “Qi Yuan! What did you say!!!”

Qi Yuan stared at their clasped hands, her face shrouded in gloom. “Shen Ke, I like you.”

“Not as a dog. I want to be your girlfriend, marry you—that kind of like.”

“Slap!” Shen Ke’s palm struck Qi Yuan’s face hard.

Truth be told, Shen Ke didn’t have much strength, so it didn’t hurt too much on the face. But that slap shattered Qi Yuan’s heart completely.

Shen Ke pulled Si Qing behind her and glared straight at Qi Yuan. She didn’t care about like or dislike; what mattered were Qi Yuan’s words toward Si Qing. “How dare you talk about Si Qing like that!” Si Qing’s health was so poor—if she got too agitated and something happened, both she and Qi Yuan would be done for.

Qi Yuan slowly touched the cheek Shen Ke had slapped, her eyes suddenly reddening, her expression twisting.

“Shen Ke, is she really that great?”

Ignoring her confession, siding entirely with that Sickly Weed.

Shen Ke looked at Qi Yuan’s expression and gripped her own clothes tightly, gritting her teeth. “Qi Yuan, what exactly do you want!”

Qi Yuan was too tall, her presence overwhelming. Right now, with her face twisted in negative emotions, she scared Shen Ke a little.

She had never seen Qi Yuan like this. Shen Ke involuntarily stepped back two paces.

But Si Qing stood right behind her, so Shen Ke backed straight into Si Qing’s arms.

Si Qing placed a hand on Shen Ke’s waist, her gaze toward Qi Yuan filled with a terrifying disgust.

Shen Ke couldn’t see Si Qing’s face and didn’t realize how intimate their current position looked.

She only saw the ferocity on Qi Yuan’s face.

Qi Yuan stared deathly, then noticed the fear emerging in Shen Ke’s eyes. Qi Yuan forced a stiff smile.

“Shen Ke, you’re afraid of me.” It wasn’t a question, but a statement.

Shen Ke tugged at her clothes. “I-I’m not!”

Qi Yuan reached out, her hand moving toward Shen Ke’s cheek.

Shen Ke panicked and closed her eyes.

But the rough touch of Qi Yuan’s palm never came. Shen Ke slowly opened her eyes to see Qi Yuan’s wrist firmly gripped in Si Qing’s hand.

Shen Ke’s heart skipped a beat. Sandwiched between them, the intangible tension nearly suffocated her.

Si Qing said coldly, “Don’t touch her with your filthy hands.” With that, she flung Qi Yuan’s hand away.

Qi Yuan ignored Si Qing, keeping her eyes fixed on Shen Ke. In that moment, she clearly realized one thing.

Blindly obeying Shen Ke would only make her take her less and less seriously.

Qi Yuan gave Shen Ke a deep look, then left the area.

Staying here would only hurt her heart more. There was no place for her to wedge in.

Shen Ke watched Qi Yuan’s retreating back and quietly sighed in relief. She turned to Si Qing, but thinking of what had just happened, she grew angry again.

She pulled out of Si Qing’s embrace and accused, “Si Qing, why did you come looking for me?”

If Si Qing hadn’t shown up, none of this would have happened.

Shen Ke wanted to say more, but Si Qing’s body suddenly went limp.

Shen Ke hurriedly caught her. “Si Qing! What’s wrong!”

No response. Shen Ke anxiously looked around. This spot was remote, with few students passing by, so she couldn’t spot a single person.

Suddenly, Shen Ke thought of something. She pulled out her phone, called the teacher to explain, then called Si Minglan.

Si Qing was crazy—her health was so bad, why get into a fight?

Shen Ke wasn’t strong enough to carry an unconscious Si Qing.

“Damn it, such a hassle!”

Time flew by, and evening arrived. Shen Ke headed toward her dorm, but on the fifth floor, she spotted Leigh at her dorm door.

She frowned and turned to head back.

She really didn’t want to see Leigh right now! Shen Ke touched her neck; Leigh had bitten her there, and it still hurt.

With a sour face, Shen Ke walked to the pond.

Even at night, the school was brightly lit, making the path underfoot clear.

Shen Ke sat on a chair by the pond, staring at the moon’s reflection on the water. She bit her lip and muttered, “I’ll head back later.” Leigh was such a Mad Dog.

How could she smile while stepping all over someone.

She even gave her a little knife—she wasn’t a pervert; how could she casually hurt someone with a knife?

Though Leigh had said she’d always treat her well, that was probably premised on being Leigh’s Little Follower. But today, she hadn’t even done the first thing Leigh asked.

And she’d pushed Leigh away and run off.

Shen Ke stretched her legs straight, heels on the ground, toes pointing up and down in her little leather shoes. “If she dares bully me, I’ll kick her.” Leather shoes hurt when they kicked.

“Shen Ke? What a coincidence.”

A voice laced with laughter came from the side. Shen Ke looked up.

Under the moonlight, a tall, slender figure approached from afar.

Long wavy hair, Fox Eyes, a seductive smile.

Shen Ke turned her head away and said nothing.

Lu Yanbai walked over to Shen Ke and slowly sat beside her. She tilted her head, gazing at Shen Ke’s profile outlined by the moonlight, and smiled softly. “Shen Ke, thinking about something unpleasant?”

Shen Ke huffed softly. “Don’t act like we’re close.”

Lu Yanbai turned her gaze to the lake. “Is that so? Then I overstepped.”

Shen Ke lowered her head to look at her toes again, but suddenly, a fair hand appeared in her view.

Lu Yanbai’s voice always seemed to carry a smile, relaxing the listener’s heart.

“But can you give me a chance to get close to you?”

Shen Ke wrinkled her nose and touched Lu Yanbai’s palm with her finger. “Why?”

Lu Yanbai closed her fingers, holding Shen Ke’s finger in her palm, then slipped a beautiful bracelet onto Shen Ke’s wrist. “Because you’re cute.”

Shen Ke turned her head, glanced at the exquisitely beautiful bracelet on her wrist, then looked up at Lu Yanbai.

It was the second time she’d heard that. Shen Ke opened her pretty cat-like eyes and peered into Lu Yanbai’s smiling gaze. “You’re lying. You just want to kiss me.”

Lu Yanbai raised a brow, pulled Shen Ke’s hand to her lips, and planted a light, dragonfly kiss. She looked up mildly. “Seems you’re right. Because you’re cute, I want to kiss you.”

Shen Ke bit her lip, staring at Lu Yanbai’s perfect lips, her lashes trembling. “Okay.”

Lu Yanbai’s smile deepened. She guided Shen Ke’s hand to her chest. “Can you feel it? It’s beating fast.”

“I’m very happy.”

“But you don’t look too happy right now. I want to kiss you when you’re in a good mood.”

“Kissing skills are affected by mood, after all.”

Shen Ke furrowed her brows. Kissing was so complicated. She broke free of Lu Yanbai’s hold, cupped Lu Yanbai’s face with both hands, and pressed her lips forward.

Their lips met, and Shen Ke paused for a few seconds. Seeing no further move from Lu Yanbai, she nipped Lu Yanbai’s lip, then clumsily used her tongue tip to pry open Lu Yanbai’s lips and slipped her tongue inside.

It was her first time taking the initiative.

But from start to finish, Lu Yanbai only parted her lips slightly, letting Shen Ke stir in her mouth, occasionally responding lightly, seeming quite inexperienced herself.

Shen Ke felt her tongue starting to ache. She pulled out of Lu Yanbai’s mouth, panting a little. “How was it? My kissing skills are great, right?”

Lu Yanbai took out a tissue and wiped Shen Ke’s moist lips, pondering with a hesitant look. “It seems… kissing isn’t as good as I thought.”

Shen Ke’s eyes widened in disbelief at Lu Yanbai’s calm words. Seeing her unflushed face, Shen Ke actually believed it.

All other stray thoughts vanished from Shen Ke’s mind. She glared at Lu Yanbai, annoyed. How could her kissing be bad!

With that in mind, Shen Ke leaned in again for another try, but a voice that made her scalp tingle suddenly sounded from behind.

“Baby, are you—cheating on me behind my back?”

Only Leigh called her Baby.

Shen Ke’s body shivered involuntarily. She let go of Lu Yanbai.

Turning her head, she indeed saw Leigh.

Leigh’s smile was brilliantly radiant, but her eyes were icy cold.

Lu Yanbai smiled and greeted her. “Leigh, what a coincidence.”

Leigh strode toward Shen Ke, immediately bending down to hook Shen Ke’s chin, lifting her head, and without hesitation, kissed her right in front of Lu Yanbai.

The territorial claim was all too obvious.

Leigh nipped Shen Ke’s lip before pulling back. The kiss wasn’t long; she had no interest in letting others see more of Baby’s reactions.

Leigh straightened up and looked at Lu Yanbai with exaggeratedly parted lips. “I don’t want to ‘coincidentally’ run into certain third wheels.”

“It’s a bit… ugh, a bit appetite-ruining.”

With that, Leigh pulled Shen Ke up, scooped her into her arms, and grinned. “Darling, let’s go back.”

“Don’t hang out with bad people, okay?”

Leigh’s tone was questioning, but her steps were already moving.

Shen Ke wrapped her arms around Leigh’s neck, watching Lu Yanbai’s figure shrink in the distance. She hatefully bit Leigh’s neck.

Leigh’s smile grew even brighter. She pressed Shen Ke’s head down, her voice sickly sweet. “Baby, bite harder.”

“I like the pain you give me.”

But if anyone looked closely at Leigh’s eyes, they’d be terrified by the jealousy within.

Damn it, just a moment of negligence, and someone else kissed her.

Leigh inhaled the scent unique to Shen Ke lingering at her nose and sighed pleasurably. “Baby, why are you so disobedient?”

Meanwhile, once Shen Ke was completely out of sight, Lu Yanbai stood from the chair and tapped her reddened lips. “What a wonderful taste.”

“Little Wan, aren’t you coming out yet?”

Chi Wan slowly emerged from behind a large tree and stood beside Lu Yanbai. The two gazed at the lake together.

Chi Wan tugged at her tie and said in a deep voice, “Tch, what did you put in the bracelet you gave her?”

Lu Yanbai smiled. “Just a locator. Don’t worry.”

“Little Wan, what you really want to ask is why she kissed me, right?”

The atmosphere between the two fell silent. After who knows how long, Chi Wan’s face remained cold, a trace of frustration lingering between her brows, which made her aura even more intense.

“You’re smarter than me. You always do so many things without me even noticing. It’s pointless to ask.”

“But next time, don’t call me to watch something like this.”

“To put it exaggeratedly, when I saw you two kissing, I wanted to kill you.”

Lu Yanbai wasn’t angry at these words. Instead, she beamed with smiles. “Little Wan, as expected, the soul recognizes your lover before your heart does.”

“But this kind of emotion is pleasurable. I like it a lot.”

“It’s just that there are always annoying flies buzzing around. Little Wan, shall we hide her away?”

“Hide her in a place only we know.”

Chi Wan curled her lip mockingly. “Are you crazy?”

Lu Yanbai shrugged. “Not crazy. I know exactly what I’m doing.”

With that, Lu Yanbai strode forward.

Chi Wan demanded coldly, “Where are you going?”

Lu Yanbai turned her head. “Little Wan, do you think that mad dog Leigh will let Shen Ke off after seeing the scene of me kissing Shen Ke?”
