Chapter 4

But Yun Zhan is just too naive.

She didn't understand the ambiguous hints between women and was at a loss when faced with sudden intimate contact. She simply followed her heart and put her finger in her mouth because she was afraid of the pain.

Just thinking about this made Pei Yanxi's breathing become erratic. That clean-looking girl timidly licking her fingers, that look in her eyes... Pei Yanxi really couldn't bear it.

For the first time, she realized how inappropriate and excessive her behavior was.

Especially when those doe-like eyes met her gaze, Pei Yanxi knew she had completely lost her composure...

She frantically pulled her finger away, no longer having the courage to meet Yun Zhan's gaze.

"Do you understand? In short... the position of your tongue determines your pronunciation."

As Pei Yanxi turned around, her thick, black hair concealed the unnatural tremor in her pupils.

The finger that Yun Zhan had licked was already hidden inside the fabric of her suit. Pei Yanxi maintained her cold demeanor when facing the other students. She continued lecturing calmly, as if nothing had ever happened.

The podium was far from where the students were sitting, and only Pei Yanxi herself knew that her nails had already dug into her skin, and the clear pain had not made her completely forget the blushing and heart-pounding scene just now.

In the latter half of the class, Pei Yanxi became the one who hid away. She dared not look Yun Zhan in the eye anymore, and could only secretly glance at the figure in the corner with her insignificant peripheral vision.

Time ticked by, and finally, at 9:30 a.m., the tedious Spanish class came to an end.

Yun Zhan breathed a long sigh of relief, then slumped onto the table, falling asleep without a care for her image.

She was really exhausted. Yun Zhan didn't consider herself a language genius. Learning a language she had never learned before in a completely unfamiliar world, while hiding her outsider identity from so many people, was as difficult as a spy script.

"I hate Spanish class, I hate Spanish class..." Yun Zhan muttered to himself with his head down, when suddenly someone tapped on the desk in front of him.

"Yun Zhan, Senior Pei needs to see you. Please come to my office." The person who called her was a girl wearing glasses, and she seemed somewhat displeased as she looked at her.

Yun Zhan raised her eyes and clearly saw the disdain and disgust in the girl's eyes.

Haha, maybe her Spanish was just too bad... Perhaps in front of these people, I look like a "country bumpkin," and yet, someone like me, a "fallen aristocrat," has crossed paths with Pei Yanxi.

Pei Yanxi is very beautiful, and Yun Zhan knows very well that there must be quite a few people who like her.

Sure enough, she should have kept her distance from Pei Yanxi, and ideally, they shouldn't have much contact even after the mission was over.

"Okay." Yun Zhan opened his eyes and followed lazily behind him.

"Senior, the person has been brought here." The girl knocked on the door, and before leaving, she secretly glared at Yun Zhan from behind.

Yun Zhan: ....

As soon as she entered the office, Pei Yanxi quickly put down her pen and sat down properly in front of her.

Pei Yanxi had just finished teaching and hadn't had time to change out of her suit. She took off her black suit jacket, revealing a pure white shirt underneath.

"Please sit down. There's some tea on the table. I wonder if you'll like it." Her voice was still clear and pleasant. Pei Yanxi brushed a strand of hair behind her ear with her slender fingers, revealing her delicate profile in the side mirror.

"What can I do for you, senior?" Yun Zhan didn't touch the cup of tea.

She just wanted to leave quickly.

"In the future... if a teacher or student touches your tongue with their finger, don't let them touch it. You need to know how to refuse." Pei Yanxi didn't expect Yun Zhan to be so direct, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

"But Senior did it too... If it was really for practicing Spanish, I don't think it's a big deal." Yun Zhan rested his chin on his hand, looking at the clueless girl in front of him with interest.

She didn't understand Pei Yanxi's logic. She was clearly the first person to offend her, so why wouldn't she allow others to do the same?

"Are you really that clueless, or are you just pretending? Do you know what you just did..." Pei Yanxi frowned slightly, showing a rare hint of emotion.

She wanted to say that such a thing was too suggestive in an all-girls school... but the words stuck in her throat and she couldn't bring herself to say them.

Yun Zhan was right; he had indeed offended her first.

Pei Yanxi may be proud, but she is not an unreasonable person.

Perhaps Yun Zhan really doesn't understand anything, and I'm just overthinking things...

"What should I know? All I know is that you hurt me, it really hurts." After saying that, Yun Zhan's tone was tinged with grievance, and the incandescent light fell on the corners of the girl's eyes, reflecting some crystal-clear spots.

Pei Yanxi was stunned for a moment. The scalding tea choked her lungs. She didn't even think about drying her clothes that were stained with tea before she blurted out an apology.

"I'm sorry... I... it's my fault, I offended you."

"If there's nothing else, senior, I'll be going now." Yun Zhan was genuinely aggrieved. She didn't say much, lowered her head, picked up her bag, and ran out the door.

The reason for her grievance was not because of Pei Yanxi and her little incident, but because Spanish is really hard to learn.

And, she doesn't want to chat with Pei Yanxi right now.

She could pretend to be emotionally overwhelmed so that Pei Yanxi would feel guilty and let her go.

Yun Zhan recalled for a moment.

Damn it, she only attended a class for an hour and a half and received more than a dozen disdainful glares...

"Yun Zhan!" Pei Yanxi hurriedly stood up, watching Yun Zhan's disappearing figure, and couldn't help but say behind her, "The forbidden room is not a scary place. It may not be a good place for others, but for you it is just a place that can temporarily confine you."

Yun Zhan didn't reply to her and just kept walking. She really wasn't in the mood for chatting right now.

The restricted room will not harm innocent people; this has always been a tradition at Minton School.

"You like that junior schoolgirl?"

Xue Qi happened to pass by and accidentally stumbled upon Pei Yanxi's chaotic pursuit of a junior schoolmate.

Xue Qi and Pei Yanxi's elders had collaborated in their early years, and the two had grown up together. Later, they joined the same club, so their relationship was naturally better than that of ordinary friends.

"I just have something to explain to her."

Pei Yanxi turned her head away and subconsciously began to explain that she had never been in a relationship, did not know how to be in a relationship, and had never even had the thought of loving someone.

"Really? Then I'll go for it. I noticed her when she enrolled. Such a stunning beauty, if you don't pursue her, I'll go for her." Xue Qi believed him, his eyes lighting up.

"Xue Qi, if you're bored, come and help me with this."

Pei Yanxi felt inexplicably irritated; she really wanted to shut Xue Qi's incessant mouth.

I never thought she was so noisy before, but I don't know why she was so impatient today.
