Chapter 25 Spanking: She Really Didn't Intentionally Get Last Place in the Test
Sixteen-year-old Jin Suiqing put down her charcoal pencil, rested her chin on her hand, and sighed.
After feeding the chickens and ducks in the yard, Huihong saw Jin Suiqing trying to touch her face with her dirty hands and hurriedly came over: "Oh dear, little princess, your hands are dirty, don't touch your face."
Gong Xiaoyang handed over a damp handkerchief, which Jin Suiqing used to wipe her hands before handing it back to Huihong. She continued to sigh, resting her chin on her hand. Gong Xiaoyang then took the handkerchief from Huihong's hand and remarked, "Sister Huihong, avoid touching cold water," which made Huihong feel a little embarrassed.
Huihong asked, "What's wrong, Princess? You've been so lost and confused all day."
Gong Xiaoyang wrung out her handkerchief and interjected, "They came in last place in the assessment."
He was Jin Suiqing's study companion. They studied at the same secondary school. Although they were not in the same class, they shared information. Huihong asked, "The little princess always gets the lowest score, but I've never seen her so worried."
They all knew that Jin Suiqing was pretending to be stupid at the National Academy, but in reality, he was extremely intelligent and had taught himself to draw magical artifact diagrams. Jin Suiqing's designs were highly sought after on the black market.
“This time is different,” Gong Xiaoyang chuckled. “Her brother has spoken. If she gets last place again, she’ll have to go back and learn her lesson.”
When Jin Shiyu was mentioned, Huihong became frightened and silently shut her mouth.
Gong Xiaoyang added, "Oh, right, Teacher Chai said to call Jin Shiyu over for a chat, so she didn't even have a chance to stall for time."
Jin Suiqing grabbed a charcoal pencil and threw it at him: "You talk too much!"
Gong Xiaoyang dodged away, saying before leaving, "Jin Suiqing, my brother said there are two groups of people looking for you on the black market. One group is wealthy and powerful, casting a wide net to collect your drawings; the other group is low-key, just inquiring about your name. Be careful."
Jin Suiqing: "Oh."
Go ahead and look for it. Just take a couple of days off and don't draw.
The Gong brothers brought in Ji Saiyu as a shareholder; Boss Ji was an expert in disguise. Jin Suiqing kept her identity hidden, using an alias; both Gong Dagou and Gong Xiaoyang disguised themselves and sold the blueprints.
Being cautious enough, he never revealed any flaws, so Jin Suiqing had nothing to worry about.
She was even more worried about what to do about Jin Shiyu, even though she deliberately got the lowest score in every exam by lowering her grades.
But this time it really wasn't.
Jin Suiqing had estimated her score well. As long as she did the arithmetic problem, she could easily score one point higher than usual and become the second to last. However, during the exam, her opponent copied the answer to that problem, and her opponent got the second to last place, while she became the last one.
Now, not only has the score been lost, but we also have to go back and face Kim Si-ok.
Her extremely controlling brother.
Times have changed. The once pure and kind-hearted Bodhisattva of Joy has finally become a notorious playboy in the capital.
Jin Suiqing didn't know the exact time. For no apparent reason, Jin Shiyu took over the baton from Jin Guizhong and started frequenting brothels, reeking of perfume and alcohol. Everyone knew that the young master of the Jin family, like his father, was gentle and refined in his dealings with people, yet his behavior was unrestrained and dissolute. He had a handsome face that captivated men and women.
He could be said to have passed through a sea of flowers without a single petal clinging to him.
Only one point.
Kim Si-ok never stays out all night; no matter how busy he is, he always goes home.
Outsiders didn't know why he always went home, but Jin Suiqing did.
Jin Shiyu needs to go home and tutor her.
Twenty-two-year-old Jin Shiyu changes in everything, but her attitude towards her younger sister remains the same.
Jin Shiyu coldly stared at Jin Suiqing's report card: "I remember teaching you this problem."
Jin Suiqing clicked her tongue: "I...I forgot."
"You've forgotten everything, not even the answers?"
Jin Suiqing tugged at her clothes and groaned for a long time. Jin Shiyu slammed the report card on the table and said in a light tone, "If you are still last next time, I will punish you."
As for how to punish him, he didn't say. Jin Suiqing had never been able to figure him out, so naturally she had no idea how he would punish him.
But whenever she recalls it, Jin Suiqing trembles uncontrollably and gets goosebumps all over her body.
It wasn't fear; she wasn't particularly afraid of Kim Shi-ok. There had been minor squabbles, but it felt very strange that Kim Shi-ok, with that cheerful, Buddha-like face, would casually say things like, "I will punish you."
It's strange, so strange.
Huihong bit her lip: "Little Princess, then... what should we do?"
“Whatever, I’m going to die sooner or later,” Jin Suiqing said with a bitter smile, writing the two characters ‘Zhu Feng’ on the drawing paper, which was her pseudonym for drawing.
Jin Suiqing slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Let's go home!"
After returning to the Jin residence from the small courtyard, Jin Suiqing finished dinner and, right on time, went to the gate to ambush Jin Shiyu.
Two sulfur-bottomed lamps hung in front of the Jin residence. Jin Suiqing sat on the steps, looking down at his own shadow, and began to gather his emotions.
The weather was a bit chilly, and Huihong wanted to put the robe on her, but Jin Suiqing refused: "It's okay to be cold, it will only make you look more pitiful."
Huihong: "I'm afraid you'll catch a cold."
Jin Suiqing shook her head: "No, don't worry."
Kim Shi-ok will definitely put a cloak on her.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a chariot came from the street not far away. Jin Suiqing quickly got up and whispered, "Quickly throw away the robe. Be smart and just say I've been waiting for a long time."
After saying that, she raised her hand to rub her eyes until they were red, pulled out two strands of hair, lowered her head, and hid her face in the shadows.
Hearing the commotion, Jin Suiqing saw the carriage stop in front of the mansion. Her eyes were filled with tears as she suddenly looked up.
Rushing to get there, Kim Si-ok got out of the car.
Jin Suiqing was stunned at first glance.
Jin Shiyu was tall and straight, with her hair tied up in a high bun. She was dressed in pure white, and her crimson robe was tied around her neck, making her skin appear even whiter.
As he got off the bus, Jin Shiyu lowered his head slightly. Under the lamplight, his eyelashes cast a thick, dark shadow, but could not hide his bright, starry eyes and his handsome face.
The night makes people even more beautiful, and beautiful women are even more so.
Jin Suiqing panicked, afraid of ruining his technique, and dared not look again, so he lowered his head again.
Just then, Kim Shi-ok caught her looking down. Instead of walking towards her, he turned around, took out a cloak from the car, and draped it over his arm.
As Jin Suiqing thought to herself that beauty could lead to trouble, Jin Shiyu walked up to her and draped a cloak over her shoulders: "What are you thinking about, little sister? You seem so engrossed in your thoughts."
Jin Suiqing gasped, not smelling any perfume or alcohol, and stammered, "I...I...I just miss my brother."
This guy doesn't follow the rules!
At this point, it's inappropriate to ask questions like why she was waiting for him outside. Why come up here and ask her what she was thinking?
Jin Shiyu lowered his head, then looked up at her: "Miss me?"
Just as Jin Suiqing was about to answer, she heard Jin Shiyu coldly say, "Are you still thinking about coming in last place again?"
Bad food.
Jin Suiqing opened her eyes wide, her mind racing. She immediately met Jin Shiyu's eyes and said with tears in her eyes, "So brother already knows. I didn't mean to get the lowest score."
“You always say it wasn’t intentional.”
This time she really wasn't right. Jin Suiqing was on the verge of tears. She said, "I'm not as smart as my brother. I just can't do it. What can I do?"
"Then you shouldn't go to school."
"No." Jin Suiqing shook her head.
Here we go again. Jin Suiqing was speechless. No matter what she said, Jin Shiyu always used this sentence to shut her up, as if he was certain that Jin Suiqing would never skip school.
Jin Suiqing suspected countless times that Jin Shiyu had already seen through the deception, but she still couldn't see through Jin Shiyu.
Even the probing was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, leaving no ripples.
Jin Suiqing, in a fit of despair, said, "I have nothing to say, brother, punish me."
Jin Suiqing had been pretending to be stupid since she was a child, and she had lost face over time. Her skin had become tough and thick through the daily trials. If she were to throw a tantrum as before, she didn't believe that Jin Shiyu would really punish her.
Jin Shiyu nodded, without looking at her or saying anything, and walked ahead, leading Jin Suiqing to her courtyard.
Leaving her aside, he moved a wicker chair over, sat down, and patted his thigh, saying, "Come here."
Jin Suiqing then realized that something was wrong.
Goodness, is he really going to punish me?
Jin Suiqing muttered, "How do you want to punish me?"
Jin Shiyu stared at Jin Suiqing, a hint of amusement in his eyes, and gestured for her to hurry up.
They still won't tell.
Jin Suiqing's heart pounded, and she turned to run away.
Jin Shiyu: "You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth. Think it through, Jin Suiqing."
When he called her by her full name, Jin Suiqing nervously said, "I...I need to prepare."
Jin Shiyu raised an eyebrow: "Why didn't you think about preparing during the exam? Teacher Chai scolded me terribly. It's too late to start now."
Jin Shiyu had already made a harsh statement, and Jin Suiqing knew that she couldn't escape today.
She muttered to herself, "If I'd known things would turn out this way, I shouldn't have introduced Jin Shiyu and Chai Zixin." Her brother was so familiar with the teacher that home visits were taken for granted, leaving her no time to even think of anything else.
After dawdling around for a while, Jin Suiqing finally reached out to Jin Shiyu. Jin Shiyu reached out her hand, and Jin Suiqing, thinking he was going to slap her, breathed a sigh of relief and handed him her hand.
"Brother, don't hit my right hand, I still need to write... Sigh!"
Unexpectedly, Jin Shiyu grabbed her wrist, pulled hard, and pressed her down onto his knees by her waist.
This action looked all too familiar; every time Jin Suiqing climbed onto the roof to remove the tiles, the aunties at the orphanage would prepare in the same way...
"Brother, no!"
A slap, neither too hard nor too soft, landed on Jin Suiqing's coccyx.
Spanking.
Jin Shiyu didn't hit hard, but the shameful feeling of pain and itching crept up Jin Suiqing's spine, her cheeks flushed, and she almost screamed.
She heard the rustling sound of sleeves and thought Jin Shiyu was about to hit her again. Just as she was about to call for help, she found that Huihong had already covered her face and run away.
What an unreliable guy!
Jin Suiqing clenched her fists with tears in her eyes: "Stop, stop, stop, brother, I know I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop hitting me!"
Jin Shiyu: "What's wrong?"
Jin Suiqing's tears streamed down her face as she said aggrievedly, "You promised not to get last place, but I still got last place."
The fabric brushed against her ear. Jin Suiqing closed her eyes, bracing herself for the next blow, but unexpectedly, Jin Shiyu supported her waist and helped her up.
Jin Shiyu straightened her up and looked at her face: "Were you crying?"
Jin Suiqing covered her face and ignored him, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.
Having gotten used to faking tears, now when I get emotional, tears easily well up and I can't stop them.
She may look sixteen, but she's a real adult at heart. Even a sixteen-year-old would hate being spanked, let alone an adult being treated like this.
Whatever the reason, it's all so shameful.
Jin Suiqing remained silent, but in her mind she had already stripped Jin Shiyu naked, hung him from the roof beam, and whipped him relentlessly.
Jin Shiyu touched the back of her hand: "You really cried?"
Although Jin Suiqing was embarrassed and annoyed, she kept thinking that she couldn't let herself be taken advantage of.
Forget about feelings for her, she can't afford to lose out.
At this moment, Jin Shiyu had already stood up and was about to pry her hands off, but Jin Suiqing was the first to slap his hands away, revealing her tear-soaked cheeks, and without saying a word, she burst into tears.
She wailed, her voice filled with utter grievance: "Jin Shiyu, you're such a jerk! What kind of brother hits his sister? If word gets out, I'll be the most shameful person in the world!"
Kim Shi-ok smiled, amused by her: "Besides you and me, there's no one else here. Who would spread the word?"
“I don’t care,” Jin Suiqing said, “You, if you turn around, you’ll embarrass yourself too.”
Seeing that she looked serious and wasn't joking, Jin Shiyu sighed and obediently turned around: "Is this alright?"
"Lower it further."
Kim Shi-ok's knees bent slightly.
Jin Suiqing sniffed, rubbed her palms together, and pretended to slap his buttocks. Just before the blow landed, she changed her hand to two fingers, pinched a piece of Jin Shiyu's buttocks, and twisted it hard.
She pinched him suddenly and with considerable force. Jin Shiyu was caught off guard and nearly fell out of the way as she leaned forward.
Jin Shiyu sighed softly, "Jin Sui Qing."
Jin Suiqing, knowing when to stop, jumped onto Jin Shiyu's back, wrapped his arms around his waist, and said, "You asked me to do it, so we're even. We can't pursue this any further."
Jin Shiyu lightly shook her twice, but couldn't shake her off. Jin Suiqing clung to his back like a leech.
After a long while, Jin Suiqing slid down. Jin Shiyu was afraid that she would fall, so he reached out and caught her leg, lifting her onto his back.
Jin Suiqing: "You hit me, how can I tolerate it? That would be a loss for me. Brother, don't you think that makes sense?"
"Who really suffered a loss?" Jin Shiyu tilted her head to look at her. "Could it be that I was the one who came in last place on the exam?"
"Yes, yes, my brother is really good. He's always first, unlike me. I'm not smart and I'm always last."
Kim Shi-ok suddenly asked, "Was it intentional or accidental?"
“Of course…” Jin Suiqing paused for a moment, “...that’s my level. Brother, you need to give me some extra help, starting tomorrow.”
Jin Shiyu suddenly said, "Tomorrow won't work."
"Why?"
Jin Shiyu carried Jin Suiqing on his back, pushed open her door, turned around and half-squatted down, placing her on the other side of the threshold without going inside.
Separated by the threshold, Jin Shiyu faced Jin Suiqing and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "His Majesty has prepared a lantern banquet, and I must attend it tomorrow."
Upon hearing that they were to enter the palace, Jin Suiqing showed little interest: "Oh, what's the purpose of the banquet?"
"I don't know." Jin Shiyu avoided Jin Suiqing's eyes.
Jin Suiqing became alert when Ziwei City and Huangfu were implicated.
It can't be that something good is going to happen again.
