This time, the battle to defend the dam must only succeed, no failure allowed!
Seeing the enemy pressing aggressively, claiming they would crush our dam, our forces repeatedly begged for mercy and surrender to no avail, leaving us no choice but to fight.
However, the disparity in strength between us and the enemy was vast; our resistance clearly couldn’t stop their advance, and after a struggle, we were defeated.
Seeing our inability to resist, the enemy smoothly entered the most critical secret area of the dam, found the vital control sphere, and after several attempts and probes, successfully caused the dam to lose control.
A massive flood surged forth, breaking through this critical defense line and crushing our army’s last resistance; having lost the will to fight, our forces could only be at their mercy…
Seeing Ning Xueyang finally satisfied, I clutched the blanket, hiding in the corner of the bed against the wall, hurriedly putting distance between us.
After the recent exertion, my body was still limp, without an ounce of strength.
Recalling earlier, how she took me from the corner across the bed to the desk, then from the desk back to the bed, I now only felt utterly hopeless.
Sob, sob, sob, I clearly begged for mercy, so why didn’t she let me go?
Clearly… clearly, I just glanced at her a bit longer by the window…
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, but I didn’t dare show it, only pouting and staring at her with resentful eyes.
Ning Xueyang, who had been watching me, naturally noticed my gaze quickly and teased, “What? The teacher was screaming louder than anyone during the action, so why are you blaming me now?”
“Who… who was screaming louder than anyone?! I-I wasn’t screaming louder than anyone!” I retorted immediately, my face slightly red.
“Oh, really? Want to go another round? I’ll turn on the recorder and play it back to see if the teacher was screaming eagerly.”
As she spoke, Ning Xueyang leaned closer to me.
Seeing her approach, I quickly used the blanket to shield my body.
“Get—get away! Recording that kind of thing, wouldn’t that be like filming some weird movie?”
“Hehe~”
Ning Xueyang gave a slight smile and didn’t come closer, so I relaxed a little.
“Hmph, if I’m resentful, isn’t it because of you! Now look, the plot’s done, and I’m practically dehydrated. I was even planning to make a move on some other girl!”
The more I thought, the angrier I got, but I couldn’t lash out, so I turned away, sulking with my back to her.
“Teacher~ what did you just say?”
Ning Xueyang’s voice suddenly softened, like it came from heaven, yet it made my body tremble instinctively.
But thinking that this time she was the one who made a move on me, I was in the right no matter what, so I kept my sulky demeanor.
“Hmph! I said it’s all because of you. Now look, the plot’s done, and I’m practically dehydrated.”
“And the next part?”
Ning Xueyang’s voice remained gentle.
Too caught up in my anger, I didn’t notice her expression growing increasingly sinister and repeated my words without thinking.
“I was even planning to make a move on some other girl…!!!”
At this point, I finally realized the problem, hurriedly turning to explain to Ning Xueyang.
“Ahhh, no, no, Ning Xueyang, listen, I… I just—”
“Just what?”
Ning Xueyang’s tone carried a smile, paired with an expression like she’d devour me the next second, making her utterly terrifying.
“Just… just…”
In my panic, I couldn’t think of any excuse to fool Ning Xueyang, only shrinking back to avoid her touch.
“Alright, no need for the teacher to explain. It’s time to punish the flirtatious teacher~”
“Ugh, eek, ahhhhhhh!!!”
“The room’s cleaned up, but the sheets had to be changed. I’ve got things to do, thanks for the hospitality, teacher~”
Leaving those words, Ning Xueyang lifted her skirt and left, leaving me alone, lying on the bed with lifeless eyes, like a broken toy.
Sob, sob, sob, why… why did it turn out like this?!
It was just an accidental longer glance at her by the window, just an accidental slip of the tongue, sob, sob, sob… why… not only did I miss my supposed encounter, but I got myself caught up in this, sob, sob, sob…
Feeling some strength return, I propped myself up and limped off the bed.
I’m increasingly baffled why my dad made me get involved with Ning Xueyang, this living nightmare.
Now look, not only did the family go bankrupt, but in the two days since my rebirth, she’s been pinning me down every day, with different excuses each time…
Sigh, whatever, it’s come to this, so be it. I’ll wait for the system to assign another plot and go warm up some cute girl.
Speaking of the system…
“Stupid system, why didn’t you save me?! Seriously, you saved me yesterday, but today you see me in trouble and don’t even make a peep!”
“Host, to protect your privacy, this system is only active when summoned by the host or in specific situations.”
“Tch! Can’t you show a bit of initiative as a system?”
“Does the host’s idea of initiative refer to how you were moving on the bed just now?”
“Get lost!! Don’t bring that up, and I wasn’t moving on my own—she forced me!”
My face flushed slightly as I hurriedly retorted.
Seriously, what kind of lousy system is this?!
It doesn’t help me at critical moments and even mocks me!
“And you were online just now, weren’t you? Otherwise, how would you know?”
“Host, this system merely deduced it from the task being marked complete and your resentful expression.”
“Get lost! What do you mean, resentful expression?!”
Hearing the system’s words, I immediately bristled.
Who describes someone like that?
“Host, this system suggests, instead of blaming me, you should clean up the bed first.”
The system’s words reminded me—this is Yu Muyuan’s office, and she’s still organizing things.
Even though the first day of school is busy, it’s been a while, and she might come back soon.
I need to clean up quickly.
With my strength fully recovered, I got up from the bed.
Looking at the mess on the bed, I grumbled inwardly.
Ning Xueyang, that jerk, even got the sheets wet—what a hassle.
Just as I complained in my mind, a lively, cute voice came from the door.
“What’s Miss Guiye doing? Sorry for the wait, I’m back~!”
Hearing Yu Muyuan’s voice, I sat back on the bed, my heart sinking to ashes.
Great, no need for the hassle now…
