The young lady sat on the chair. Her lips landed on the wound on the man’s waist. She kissed the wound lightly.
Ming Shu moved her fingers and hooked them around the man’s neck.
The man bent down like a puppet under the weight.
Their breaths intertwined. Xuan Ge suddenly regained his senses. All he could see was her face.
What was she doing?
Xuan Ge forgot to breathe. He just stared at her in a daze and let her do what she wanted.
Thud—
Thud thud—
Thud thud thud—
Even when he’d completed his first mission, his heart didn’t beat so heavily.
He should push her away.
Right!
Push her away!
Xuan Ge put his hand on Ming Shu’s shoulder. But he didn’t use force. He couldn’t use any of his energy.
Xuan Ge changed his position. His back was against the table.
Ming Shu’s lips moved away from his. She went down to his chin and then to his neck.
Her slightly sharp teeth bit into his throat.
Xuan Ge felt numb. “Shu Ran…”
Ming Shu unbuttoned his shirt and kissed his collarbone.
Xuan Ge pushed the table behind him with his hands. He leaned back slightly and panted. He told himself that he would push her away.
Immediately.
But he didn’t.
Even when she unbuttoned his shirt entirely, he didn’t push her away.
Ming Shu’s lips landed on the wound on his waist.
The wound was still healing so it was extremely sensitive. Her kiss was burning him.
Ming Shu hugged his waist and pushed her face against his chest. “I thought you would forever remain calm. It seems that’s not the case.”
Xuan Ge’s heartbeat had returned to normal. “…What do you mean?”
Ming Shu looked up. “I want to see if you have other emotions.”
Xuan Ge looked to the side. The mirror was beside him. His clothes were pulled open and he was being embraced by a young lady. His chest was slightly red.
He had never been so haggard before.
He seemed to have gained his strength back. He pushed Ming Shu away and buttoned his clothes.
“Is Miss Shu Ran satisfied?”
Ming Shu leaned back on the chair. “Still fine.”
Xuan Ge looked down. His voice was hoarse. “My pleasure, then.”
He turned away.
It was his fault. He should have pushed her away at the start.
“Teacher.”
The lady’s clear voice was heard.
Xuan Ge held the door handle tightly. “What’s the matter?”
“Do you want to teach me about love?”
Xuan Ge turned around stiffly.
His heart pounded furiously. It felt as though it was going to leap out of his body.
She…
The young lady got up slowly and stood in front of him. She pushed him against the door. “Teacher?”
Xuan Ge leaned back. There was no space between him and the door left. “I… have never taught that before.”
Ming Shu smiled. “I’ve never learned about it, either.”
His logical side told him that this wasn’t right. They were not from the same world.
Yet, when Ming Shu kissed him again, he didn’t push her away.
He couldn’t.
Xuan Ge lifted his hands. After some time, he put them down again.
Knock knock—
“Young miss, your dinner.”
Ming Shu paused. Her lips pressed against his. She didn’t move.
“Leave it outside. I’ll take it later.”
The servant acknowledged her answer.
Sounds came from the other side of the door occasionally. Ming Shu would make sounds occasionally too while kissing him.
There was a door behind him but Xuan Ge still felt uncomfortable.
Xuan Ge’s stiff body only relaxed when the sounds outside stopped.
He wasn’t so nervous when he was killing people.
Ming Shu released him and smiled. “Teacher, you’re so easy to fool. Are assassins so easy to fool?”
Xuan Ge frowned. He didn’t understand what she meant.
“I fool you just now.” Ming Shu walked back. “I just want to see if you’re easy to fool.”
Xuan Ge looked at her indifferently.
Then…
He pulled the door open and walked out.
Ming Shu: “…”
He didn’t get angry?
F**k!
Xuan Ge pushed the things outside in.
He stepped back onto the corridor and said, “I took it for real. I’ll teach you properly, Miss Shu Ran.”
He emphasized the last few words.
“If I realize that you’re dating other men, I’ll take care of it my way.”
Ming Shu: “…”
This was not his character setting!
Was he threatening her?
How dare the little demon threaten me!
Ming Shu watched Xuan Ge as he left. In the end, she decided to eat first.
When Ming Shu was looking through her bag for snacks, she saw the love letter. She finally understood why the little demon kept talking to her about Friday.
She didn’t remember when she put this letter in her bag.
She must have swept it in while she was putting away her snacks.
–
On the weekend…
Ming Shu slept till 10 AM. She went down in a daze and finished her breakfast. Then, she went up and prepared to sleep again.
Xuan Ge stopped her at the stairs.
“What do you want?”
Xuan Ge didn’t appear any different from last time. He was holding a black envelope between his fingers. He passed it to her.
Ming Shu: “…”
What is this?
Challenge letter?
Death notice?
I just purposely made you angry. Do you have to do this?
Xuan Ge took her hand and stuffed the letter at her when he saw that she wasn’t moving. Then, he went down the stairs.
Ming Shu: ???
The black envelope felt high-class. Ming Shu turned to look behind her. She opened the envelope curiously.
The letter paper was black too.
The words were white.
The words looked as though they were printed. It was really pretty.
Ming Shu read the letter carefully twice.
This was a love letter. Huh? Love letter?
The little demon wrote her a love letter?
Why did he choose black?
Who used black paper for love letters?
Is he stupid!
Ming Shu took the letter back to her room and threw it on her desk. After some time, she took it again and put it away properly.
She needed to study during the weekends too. Xuan Ge came with some papers.
Ming Shu observed him for a while. She realized that this killer didn’t have any changes in his expression. He looked as though he gave the love letter to someone else, not her.
“This is a little test to see how your studies are going.”
He placed the exam in front of Ming Shu and then leaned back in his chair lazily.
Ming Shu felt her head hurt. There were so many words on the paper.
“Can I not do it?” Ming Shu discussed with Xuan Ge. “It’s the weekend. I don’t want to study.”
I want to pamper my snacks.
“I must be responsible,” Xuan Ge replied, “hurry up and do it.”
Ming Shu: “…”
I don’t need you to be responsible.
Please leave my table.
Let’s fight!
Ming Shu glanced at him and then took a pen. She stood up.
Xuan Ge looked at her. She pulled his arms away and sat on his legs.
Xuan Ge: “…”
Ming Shu pulled the exam over and started answering the questions.
