“Zhen Zhu,” the quiet Su Ze beside her suddenly spoke up, “Go play with Liang Sheng for a bit. There are too many people here; don’t accidentally get hurt.”
Tsk tsk tsk, the way he said that—watertight, just like he’s always thinking of others. What a fine image of a good man, a big warm guy.
Zhen Zhu grabbed Su Ze’s hand, pouted her little mouth, and kept shaking his arm coquettishly. “No way~ Zhuzhu wants Brother Su Ze to go play with me! I don’t want this old hag!”
🌿Draggin’ her into it again—Liang Sheng wanted to beat this bear child to death.
“Come on~ Don’t fuss, sister will take you out, okay!” Liang Sheng said through gritted teeth, the veins on her neck about to burst.
“No!” Zhen Zhu replied crisply, swatting away Liang Sheng’s hand from her head with a slap.
“Zhen Zhu!” Su Ze seemed angry, his face darkening.
“Wu…” Zhen Zhu’s eyes reddened from the yell, tears welling up as if they could fall any second.
“Splash~” Favorability drops.
“Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Su Ze: 74”
Seeing this, Su Ze panicked a bit. He quickly squatted down, looking up at the pitiful Zhen Zhu with a instantly softened tone. “Zhuzhu, Brother’s too busy right now. I’ll play with you after, okay? Go with Sister Liang Sheng first and let her keep you company for a bit, alright?”
“Okay…” Zhen Zhu agreed very reluctantly.
This time, Liang Sheng wasn’t happy. “You’re busy, but I’m not?!”
Su Ze was stunned, then put on a sincere expression. “Please, she’s still a kid—don’t stoop to her level.”
Ha! A kid? Precisely because she’s a kid, she can’t be let off!
To teach the bear child a lesson, Liang Sheng smiled on the surface while cursing inwardly, gripping Zhen Zhu’s hand tightly and dragging her outside.
Outside, Liang Sheng sized up Zhen Zhu carefully, narrowing her eyes as the info popped up.
“Name: Zhen Zhu
Age: 13
Height: 143 cm
Weight: 36 kg
Looks: S
Hobbies: Pranks, singing
Attribute: Black-bellied Lolita
Traits: Poisonous tongue, two-faced
Family: Father – Mayor
Mother – Mayor”
“Hey, why are you staring at me like that?!” Zhen Zhu yelled rudely at Liang Sheng.
Yellin’ at me? Liang Sheng ground her teeth. Fine, today this bear child would taste some societal love!
“You… you dare glare at me?! Believe it or not, I’ll call my dad! My dad’s the mayor!” Zhen Zhu put her hands on her hips, arrogantly pointing at Liang Sheng.
The more Liang Sheng looked, the angrier she got. Such a young kid already pulling the dad card! Elementary school antics!
“Sister doesn’t care who your dad is—who do you think you are?!” Liang Sheng pressed down on the girl’s little head, using her height advantage to suppress her.
Zhen Zhu tried to pry Liang Sheng’s hand off, but her strength was too weak; after struggling for ages, she couldn’t break free.
“Splash~” Favorability drops.
“Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 9”
“Let go of me! Let go! Do you know who I am?! Treating me like this!” Zhen Zhu started threatening again.
Liang Sheng said sarcastically, “Oh, I know—your dad’s the mayor, right?”
A smug look appeared on her face. “You already know that…”
“Obviously!” Liang Sheng’s pretty eyes widened. “You just said it yourself—how could I not know?”
“You know and you still won’t let go?!” Zhen Zhu struggled again.
“Heh.” Liang Sheng sneered, bending down to lean close to Zhen Zhu.
The kid was cute—rosy little mouth pouting, long eyelashes. Liang Sheng sighed. What a pity! Such a pretty little doll, spoiled into this.
“Y-you’re so close for what?!” Zhen Zhu started panicking, backing up step by step.
How could Liang Sheng let her slip away? She grabbed Zhen Zhu’s pigtails and yanked upward like picking up a rabbit. “I only know your dad’s the mayor, but you’re just a little brat in dire need of a social beating!”
Ignoring Zhen Zhu’s desperate struggles, she dragged her by the braids toward a nearby bench.
At the bench, Liang Sheng plopped down, releasing the hair. But before Zhen Zhu could catch her breath, Liang Sheng grabbed her collar and yanked downward hard. Off-balance, Zhen Zhu toppled onto Liang Sheng’s lap.
“You…!” Before she could explode in curses.
“Smack!” A crisp sound rang out.
Zhen Zhu stopped struggling, stunned.
One second, two seconds… On the fifth, her face flushed bright red. Mouth agape, she made muffled “eee-aaa” noises, incoherent.
“Smack!” Another crisp smack.
“You… you you!” Zhen Zhu finally made a normal sound.
“Hm?” Liang Sheng hummed, asking, “Do you know you’re wrong yet?”
“Splash~” Favorability drops.
“Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: 1”
Zhen Zhu bristled, yelling, “You, get off me! Believe it or not…”
“Smack smack!” Two sharper smacks in a row.
“Wu!” Zhen Zhu’s eyes reddened, tears pattering down as she sobbed, still stubborn. “You… you dare touch me again!”
“Smack!” Liang Sheng hit harder, like the wicked stepmother in Cinderella. “Hey, stinky brat—know you’re wrong yet?”
“I’m not wrong, I’m not wrong! Let me go now!” Zhen Zhu twisted her little body desperately, trying to escape the grip.
Oh, unyielding to the death, huh?
Liang Sheng raised her hand high. “Smack!” A heavy hit on Zhen Zhu’s bottom.
“Mmmph!” Zhen Zhu cried out. From childhood, she’d never endured such humiliation. She was pampered by her parents, held like a precious pearl—afraid it’d shatter in their hands or melt in their mouths, the apple of her family and classmates’ eyes.
But now, this Zhen Zhu was sprawled pathetically on Liang Sheng’s lap, tears streaming. And Liang Sheng was carrying out her so-called “education,” raising her hand nonstop to smack the girl’s butt.
“Stop it! You you you…” Zhen Zhu kept yammering incoherently.
“When you apologize, I’ll stop!” Liang Sheng laid down the law, her hand never idle, smacking Zhen Zhu’s butt nonstop.
“Splash~” Favorability drops.
“Zhen Zhu’s Favorability Toward Liang Sheng: -6”
“Hey, what are you doing?!” Kazuko finally couldn’t hold back, yelling, “Stop it now! Favorability’s negative! Keep this up and I might not be able to talk again!”
Negative? Even negative, she wouldn’t stop! Liang Sheng gritted her teeth, ignoring Kazuko and continuing the lesson with actions.
“Heh, you not talking would be even better.”
Kazuko fumed but was helpless.
“Waaah!” Zhen Zhu finally broke, tears flooding like a breached dam. “Wah wah wah, I’m wrong! Let me go, you ugly freak!”
Ha! Still calling her ugly freak? Clearly not educated enough. Liang Sheng said nothing, continuing her lesson.
“Hey! I already apologized! Let me go!” Zhen Zhu wiped her tears while hiccuping threats at Liang Sheng.
Liang Sheng sneered. “Not sincere enough—put some heart into it!”
“Don’t push your luck…”
“Smack!”
“Mm! I’m wrong wah wah wah, I’m sorry…”
Liang Sheng laughed “haha” at Zhen Zhu’s ridiculous state. Teaching a bear child felt so damn good!
“Call me sister! Call me pretty sister!” Liang Sheng was indeed pushing her luck.
“…”
