I smoothed out the edge of my skirt, fixed my hair one last time, and finally slung my bag around my waist.
“Huff huff~ All set!”
Looking at myself in the mirror, I gave a satisfied smile.
A new day, gotta stay full of energy… well, not really. Why is it that even though it’s the weekend, I still have to tutor that wretched Ning Xueyang?! Who does overtime on weekends like this?
Sure, I could refuse, but if I say no here, then on workdays she’ll go from one meal a day to three. To keep my fragile little body from falling apart, I have no choice but to agree…
Damn it! This is blatant bullying!
“All right, I’m heading out.”
After a final check, I went to the door to say goodbye to Guiyue.
Guiyue looked at me with a hint of reluctance in her eyes. “Sister, when will you be back?”
I thought for a moment before answering, “Probably in the afternoon. I’ll call you before I get back.”
With that, I turned and closed the door behind me.
Why do I have to say I’ll be back in the afternoon just to tutor?
Because if I go to Ning Xueyang’s place, there’s a good chance there’ll be extra activities and the time I need to recover afterward…
There’s no way around it…
Before I even got down a few steps, the system’s voice rang out.
“Next, dispatching a task to the host. The current story trigger condition is to go to Ning Xueyang’s house.
Story tags: pure friendship, ambiguous teacher-student feelings, united sisterhood, restored romance, simultaneous climax.”
Here it comes.
Huh? What kind of weird tags are these?
I get ambiguous teacher-student feelings, but what’s with the other four?
She and I having pure friendship? United sisterhood?
Both of us climaxing simultaneously?
And what even is restored romance?
While I was still confused, Ning Xueyang called.
I took out my phone and, hesitating for a moment, answered. Ning Xueyang’s gentle voice came through.
“Good morning, teacher. Are you heading out now?”
“Guh~ Just stepped out!”
I puffed my cheeks and answered grumpily.
Hmph, don’t act so sweet. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to go out today.
“Teacher’s so scary~ A little scared now.”
“Cut it out, just say what you want quickly. I’m in a hurry to get over there.”
My tone grew impatient. The thought of working overtime on a weekend made me want to punch the earth into pieces.
“Oh, it’s just that seeing you work so hard, I arranged a car to pick you up. It’s already waiting at your complex gate.”
“Arranged a car? Fine, I’ll give you some credit with HR.”
Well, that means I won’t have to squeeze into the bus so early.
“Yeah, because I can’t wait to enjoy my teacher~”
“Alright, I take back what I said just now…”
Damn it, give me back the warm feeling you just gave me, you wretched soul!
I knew something was off. How could she suddenly be so nice?
“Well then, teacher, see you later~”
With a playful farewell, Ning Xueyang hung up.
Following her directions, I arrived at the complex entrance.
A sleek black stretched limousine was already parked there.
Noticing me, two bodyguards in black uniforms quickly got out.
They came over, and one of them spoke politely.
“Miss Guiye, please come inside.”
An ordinary person might be surprised, but after knowing Ning Xueyang this long, I wasn’t fazed.
Following their lead, I got on the car, but Ning Xueyang wasn’t inside. That felt odd.
She didn’t come to pick me up?
“Miss Guiye, please prepare yourself, the car is about to depart.”
A bodyguard in black stood by the door, kindly reminding me and then closing the door behind me.
After a short ride, we arrived at the large courtyard of a massive villa.
If anyone else saw this, they might be struck by how luxurious the estate was or how grand the atmosphere, but I just wanted to get this over with and say goodbye to this hellhole.
“The eldest and second young ladies are chatting inside. We can’t disturb them, so Miss Guiye, please go in alone.”
“Understood, thank you for your hard work.”
I politely responded and walked toward the slightly ajar main door of the villa.
The eldest and second young ladies chatting inside…
The eldest must be Ning Xueyang, and the second likely Ning Yaqin, whom I saw last night.
But didn’t I remember she was with Yu Muyuan at the hotel?
After that intense fight, she left the hotel so early?
Does Yu Muyuan recover that fast?
I couldn’t make sense of it, so I decided not to think too much and would find out inside.
Soon, I reached the villa’s living room.
Sure enough, the two sisters sat facing each other on the sofa, chatting.
Ning Yaqin held Yu Muyuan in her arms, but for some reason, Yu Muyuan’s eyes were dull and vacant.
That actually eased some of my tension.
After all, with Yu Muyuan and Ning Yaqin here, Ning Xueyang wouldn’t dare do anything to me.
Before long, Ning Yaqin, facing the door, noticed me.
“Sis, your teacher is here.”
At her words, Ning Xueyang stood and looked this way.
When she saw it was me, a faint smile appeared on her face.
“Oh, teacher, you finally made it~”
With that, Ning Xueyang ran toward me, looking like she wanted to do something.
I quickly backed away, eyeing her warily.
“Greeting is fine, but no need to get this close.”
Having said that, I was already prepared to slip away.
The door I entered through was still ajar, ready for my escape.
But the next second, the bodyguard’s voice came from the doorway.
“Sorry to bother you, Miss Guiye forgot to close the door when she came in. I’ll close it now.”
With a loud thud, the bodyguard firmly shut my escape route.
Damn it! Closing the door is one thing, but announcing it? This was definitely arranged by Ning Xueyang!
“Well then, teacher, can I get closer when we greet now?
If not, that’s fine too, but~”
Ning Xueyang grinned mischievously, making a little snake-slithering gesture with her hand.
Tch, that’s a threat, a naked threat!
At that moment, Yu Muyuan’s eyes regained a bit of clarity.
She shook her head at me.
Ning Yaqin then spoke up for Ning Xueyang, “Teacher Guiye, you and sister are both girls, a hug isn’t a big deal!”
A hug isn’t just a hug, is it?
If she hugs me from that close, who knows what else she might do during it.
But now I understood.
Ning Yaqin was actually defending Ning Xueyang, which meant she couldn’t be an obstacle for her.
In fact, the two sisters were probably working together!
In that case, I need to find an excuse to slip away quickly!
