Chapter 66: The Little Follower at the Aristocratic School (Part 15) Part 1

“Qi Yuan, uh, lighter.”

Shen Ke tugged at Qi Yuan’s hair. Qi Yuan was too forceful, making it hurt a bit.

Qi Yuan released her mouth and lifted her head, her gaze burning with intensity.

“Shen Ke, don’t you like it?”

Shen Ke shakily wiped her chest with a tissue, then pulled down her clothes to cover the red marks.

Shen Ke’s eyes were a little red. “Qi Yuan, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been acting crazy since yesterday.”

Qi Yuan slowly clenched her fingers. “Sorry, I can’t control myself.” She just got irritated thinking about what Shen Ke had said yesterday.

She thought she could accept it magnanimously, but reality was far from her imagination. In the dead of night, her emotions amplified endlessly, and her heart felt like it was about to explode.

She didn’t need an inadequate label like “pet.” What she wanted was to be called a lover.

Qi Yuan knew she had nothing right now, so it was normal for Shen Ke to dislike her. Knowing it was one thing; bearing it was another.

Qi Yuan squatted down and looked up at Shen Ke. “Shen Ke, I want to do it to you.” She couldn’t wait to leave her scent on Shen Ke.

Shen Ke’s cheeks flushed red. It wasn’t impossible, anyway—this was the bathroom.

So Shen Ke sat on the toilet, gently parted her legs, and said in a coquettish voice, “Be gentle.”

Shen Ke covered her lips to keep her voice from escaping. This bathroom didn’t get much traffic, but accidents happened, and she didn’t want anyone hearing her moans.

But the sensation of the tongue gliding over was too strange, and a few particularly high-pitched sounds slipped through her fingers anyway.

Shen Ke looked down at Qi Yuan’s movements. Qi Yuan had her hair in a small braid at the back of her head, with uneven stray strands left loose on the sides, tickling Shen Ke’s thighs.

Shen Ke’s eyelashes trembled fiercely.

She was already very familiar with Qi Yuan’s body temperature. They were just one step away from the end; they’d done everything else.

All of Shen Ke’s senses were focused on herself, so she didn’t notice the stall door opening.

Leigh squinted as she emerged from the toilet, her expression dark and gloomy. It was hard to connect her to the bright and cheerful person she was in front of Shen Ke.

After disciplining someone today, she had come to this nearest bathroom, just to use it.

She hadn’t expected to stumble upon such a delightful surprise.

Look at that—Shen Ke getting it on in the bathroom with someone.

Sucking and licking away.

She really had been too reserved. Leigh walked to the sink, her face completely expressionless. The clear mirror reflected her unnaturally pale face.

Damn it. She’d been in such a good mood yesterday after Shen Ke kissed her cheek, but just thinking about someone having deeper contact with Shen Ke before her made Leigh want to go mad.

So unfair—why did she have to hear this? She was jealous to the point of insanity.

Her possessiveness toward Shen Ke was far more intense than she’d imagined.

Time dragged on slowly. Leigh stared at her own twisted, ugly face in the mirror, warped by jealousy, and let out a silent laugh.

Pain shot through her arm. Leigh looked down and saw that she’d clawed her own arm until it was bloody.

The faint sound of a door opening reached her ears, followed by a coquettish complaint muttering in.

“Qi Yuan, you’re crazy! How could you use your mouth to catch it!”

Leigh placed her hand under the sensor, and hot water gushed from the faucet. Catch what? Catch the love juices?

Shen Ke’s legs were weak, her whole body tinged pink. Her skin was fair and thin, with a faint layer of pink seeping through, making her look especially alluring.

As soon as Shen Ke came out, she noticed Leigh’s bright, shiny golden hair. Her heart skipped a beat. Her voice hadn’t been that loud; Leigh shouldn’t have heard from this distance.

Qi Yuan followed behind, her cheeks and lips still glistening with un-wiped wetness.

Shen Ke bit her lower lip and walked behind Leigh. “Leigh, why are you here too?”

Leigh whipped her head around, her face lighting up with feigned surprise. “Wow, Keke Baby! I can’t believe I ran into you here. I’m so happy! It feels like forever since we last saw each other!” If that was the case, speeding things up a bit wouldn’t hurt.

Seeing Leigh like this, Shen Ke inwardly relaxed. It looked like Leigh had no idea what she’d just been doing.

Of course, she wasn’t scared—just a little embarrassed to be caught doing something like that.

Shen Ke huffed. “We saw each other yesterday.” Her gaze shifted, and she noticed Leigh’s injured arm.

She frowned slightly. “Leigh, how did you get hurt?” After all, she was the sucker who’d given her fifty million; a casual concern was fine.

Leigh pouted, looking pitiful. “Darling, I got bullied. Some student grabbed me and scratched up my arm. It hurts so much.” At that moment, Leigh was like a big golden retriever with its tail wagging furiously.

Clear water washed over the bloody arm, and even Shen Ke winced at the sight.

But Leigh’s act improved Shen Ke’s impression of her just a tiny bit.

From the corner of her eye, Leigh glanced at the tall Qi Yuan standing behind Shen Ke. Her smile didn’t change, but her body tensed slightly.

Damn trash. She should’ve dealt with Qi Yuan first.

Qi Yuan sensed deep hostility. She lowered her eyes and wiped the water from her lip corner.

Leigh’s heart clenched, her expression twisting for an instant as jealousy gnawed at her brain.

Leigh looked at Shen Ke, her green eyes wide. She extended her other dry arm, pulled Shen Ke into her embrace, and leaned forward, pressing Shen Ke against the sink edge in a back hug.

Leigh was tall with long legs, completely blocking Shen Ke. From Qi Yuan’s view, all she could see was the top of Shen Ke’s dark hair.

Qi Yuan clenched her fists hard. She wanted to pull them apart, but she had no right to.

Leigh hunched over, resting her chin on Shen Ke’s shoulder, rubbing her cheek against Shen Ke’s nonstop, and whined in a sticky voice. “Keke, it hurts so much. Can you give me your afternoon?”

“Let’s go out and play, okay?” Like a kid begging for candy.

Shen Ke stared at Leigh’s injured arm and nodded after a moment’s hesitation. She hadn’t gone out to play in a long time—going back to Qi Yuan’s hometown didn’t count.

Leigh’s brows relaxed, her smile radiant. “Wow, Keke Baby is the best! You’re actually willing to hang out with me!” Anyone could hear the delight in her tone.

Shen Ke’s eyelashes fluttered. Leigh seemed like a different person.

So clingy.

“Shen Ke, can I come too?” Qi Yuan’s low voice came from behind.

Leigh beat Shen Ke to it with a giggling reply. “Sorry, no can do~ Keke doesn’t like strangers. Don’t let her come with us, okay?”

As she spoke, Leigh started rubbing her cheek against Shen Ke again.

Shen Ke pushed Leigh’s head away; her ear turned red from the rubbing. “Got it. If you keep rubbing, I’m not going with you!” Leigh’s cheek was soft, but the constant motion tickled.

With Leigh blocking her, Shen Ke couldn’t see Qi Yuan’s expression at all.

Leigh turned her head, her gaze landing on Qi Yuan. She curled her lips in a bright smile. “Okay, whatever Baby says, I’ll listen. After all, I really like Baby.”

Leigh always spoke in that sticky-sweet way, so Shen Ke didn’t take it too seriously. She pulled out of Leigh’s embrace and looked at the head-hanging Qi Yuan with a hint of arrogance. “Qi Yuan, wash your face and go back.”

Qi Yuan had sucked too hard earlier, and it still hurt, so Shen Ke decided to snap at her. “I don’t need you anymore anyway!”

Leigh let out a “whoa,” widening her eyes in mock worry as she looked at Shen Ke. “Baby, if you say that, she might get mad.”

“She looks so fierce. What if she bullies you when I’m not looking?”

Shen Ke wrinkled her nose. Leigh’s words felt a bit off, but Shen Ke wasn’t one to overthink. She declared firmly, “She won’t bully me.”

Qi Yuan slowly raised her head, staring seriously at Shen Ke. She tugged her lips into a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Yes, I’m your pet. Why would I bully you?”

The words dripped with sarcasm, but Shen Ke only caught the surface meaning. Hearing Qi Yuan admit it, Shen Ke raised her brow and nodded approvingly. “Good. I’ll only keep obedient pets.”

Qi Yuan suddenly gritted her teeth; even her fake smile vanished.

They’d just been doing something so intimate, but in front of someone else, Shen Ke denied her—twice now.

Qi Yuan took a deep breath and walked to the sink, splashing cold water on her face.

Even a clay figure has a bit of fire, let alone her.

Qi Yuan cupped handful after handful of cold water to her face.

Shen Ke looked at Qi Yuan’s expressionless profile and pursed her lips. “Qi—”

“Keke, let’s go. Right now.”

Leigh beamed as she took Shen Ke’s hand, interrupting her and pulling her straight out.

Shen Ke glanced back at Qi Yuan, whose back looked especially cold and distant.

The privileges of being a Black Brooch holder at school were even greater than imagined.

Leigh didn’t need to tell anyone; she just took Shen Ke out the gate, and the guards didn’t stop them.

Noah Academy had been built in the suburbs, but as its fame grew, the area had become the most bustling district.

Standing on the crowded street, Shen Ke frowned slightly. She felt like she’d forgotten something.

But her distraction didn’t last. Leigh’s driver pulled up.

Leigh smiled as she opened the car door for Shen Ke, her grin as warm as the sun.

“Darling, hop in. I can’t wait to have our little world together.”

“We can grab food first, then hit the aquarium or the botanical garden.”

“Or if you want, we can go shopping.”

Leigh chattered on, her green eyes full of anticipation.

Shen Ke felt a bit swayed, her mood brightening. She got in the car, a small smile on her snow-white, translucent face—reserved, yet sweetly charming.

“Leigh, let’s eat first. I’m hungry.”

Leigh closed the door and pounced toward Shen Ke like a big dog.

“Darling, we could also go to a haunted house. Lots of people love that.” Leigh had never been, but the dating manual said scary places could bring couples closer.

Leigh’s smile was pure joy, without a trace of shadow. Shen Ke’s opinion of her rose another notch. Trapped in Leigh’s arms, Shen Ke huffed coldly, her temper flaring as her voice rose. “Stop talking. We’ll decide after we eat.”

Leigh pouted, looking wronged and hurt. “Got it.”

Shen Ke loved lording over others. Leigh’s increasing indulgence only made Shen Ke’s ego swell, letting her bully her mercilessly.

Si Qing was cold to her, so Shen Ke didn’t dare act up around Si Qing and even pretended to be obedient.

Qi Yuan spoiled her, so Shen Ke treated her like a dog.

The scratches on Leigh’s arm had stopped bleeding and were hidden by her long sleeves. Shen Ke thought for a moment. “Let’s get your arm treated first.”

“What if it bleeds again? You always rub against me; it’ll get on my clothes.”

Leigh had no objections to Shen Ke’s demands. She had Shen Ke sit in her lap, resting her forehead on Shen Ke’s shoulder. “Okay, whatever Baby says.”

Shen Ke and Leigh didn’t go to the haunted house; they did an escape room instead.

They teamed up with four guys and two girls and entered the room.

Shen Ke wasn’t that brave, but she was curious about places like this.

She’d never gone before, always trailing behind Si Qing.

With those lackeys, she disdained going out.

Alone, she didn’t dare. Now, with Leigh, it was perfect.

Shen Ke grabbed Leigh’s hand and whispered in her ear, “Leigh, you have to stay in front of me, okay?” It was pitch black around them, lit only by the three candles their group held.

Shen Ke’s warm breath sprayed fully onto Leigh’s ear, hot and itchy.

Leigh gripped Shen Ke’s hand tightly. “Baby, of course I’ll protect you.”

Just then, the background audio blared from the speakers.

[I hated it so much! I could have passed the imperial exams and achieved scholarly honor, but my identity as a woman was discovered. In the end, Squire Li forcibly married me and took me home. On our wedding night, I had already resigned myself to my fate. But who would have thought that Squire Li was a demon wearing human skin? On that wedding night, he chopped off both my legs. Dragging my crippled body, I eked out a living day after day. The concubines in the mansion bullied me, the servants insulted me, and Squire Li indulged it all. It seemed he had finally grown tired of watching my misery, so he threw me into the dry well—]

A shrill, piercing female voice accompanied by chilling music echoed through the space, sending shivers down everyone’s spines.

Shen Ke was utterly frightened. She clung tightly to Leigh’s arm. “Leigh, are you scared?”

Leigh shook her head. “Not scared.” To be honest, although she spoke Z Country language fluently, it didn’t mean she had perfect hearing. She actually hadn’t understood much of what came from the speaker.

Shen Ke and Leigh stood at the back. The people in front had no interest in solving puzzles at all.

From the moment they entered, everyone’s eyes had been fixed on Shen Ke and Leigh.
