Chapter 13: Compromise
In the end, it was Yier Meng who first averted her gaze, offering a sincere apology: “Sorry, Elise. I didn’t know you were bathing.”
She had only done it for convenience, wanting to avoid dealing with creatures like the dorm matron. Now, however, the situation was awkward for both of them.
“You should get dressed first. I’ll just stand here and wait for a bit,” Yier Meng said, intending to turn around.
This time, however, her intention was not to be realized. A slender, jade-like hand reached out and grasped the corner of her clothes.
“It’s alright. You know my situation, Teacher.”
Her face faintly blushing, she stopped Yier Meng from turning away. Then, she pulled Yier Meng over and dragged her to the bedside.
“Have a seat, Teacher.”
Elise sat down on the bed first, and the soft, large mattress sank deeply under her weight.
The atmosphere was incredibly strange. For Yier Meng, because she was originally a boy and now possessed some normal human emotions, she found herself struggling to handle such a scene. A faint impulse of anticipation for what might happen next stirred within her heart.
As for Elise, she seemed far more composed. It was as if their first meeting, which had already been the most awkward situation imaginable, had greatly increased her tolerance.
But for some unknown reason, Yier Meng saw her expression gradually turn strange. She seemed to be desperately suppressing something, panting heavily as her breathing grew more and more labored. It was as if she were trying to endure something, or perhaps hold back some impulse—a desire she was absolutely unwilling to speak of, yet desperately craved in that very moment.
“Are you… alright?” Yier Meng asked softly.
Truthfully, in this situation, anyone with eyes could see that she was not alright at all. It was just that if the two of them said nothing, it would become even more awkward.
Finally, as if giving up, she compromised. She nodded at Yier Meng and tugged at her clothes again, gesturing for her to sit on the bed as well.
“Teacher… the truth is…”
At this, Elise took a deep breath.
“I can’t hold it in anymore! Teacher, could you please punish me fiercely? You still have that thing from before, don’t you? Please, Teacher, use that rod and strike me with all your might!”
This time, her phrasing seemed to have improved significantly. But in essence, the thing she craved remained unchanged. A moist glint shone in Elise’s eyes. She looked at Yier Meng, as if she were holding something back, yet also faintly anticipating something.
Perhaps Elise had tried to resist, but in the end, she had surrendered.
As for Yier Meng, she was completely and utterly dumbfounded.
But to be stared at with such a provocative gaze by such a beautiful girl, especially one who had just emerged from the bath…Yier Meng couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of guilt.
A princess of the Elven Kingdom, holding her hand, begging her to take that rod out of her storage space and “educate” her with it.
She was truly at a loss. In a situation like this, it would surely be better to refuse, right?
“Please don’t refuse me, Teacher.”
As if she could read Yier Meng’s mind, Elise pressed her entire body against her. It seemed that, according to elven intuition, this method of request was more likely to succeed.
It had to be said, Yier Meng was about to lose control herself.
This wretched elf was actually trying to use this method! To coerce a proper teacher like her into doing that sort of thing!
Yes, shouldn’t a teacher provide guidance… and help with a physiology lesson? Through hands-on practice?
“Fine. What do you want me to do?”
After a fierce battle in her mind, Yier Meng finally chose to compromise.
