After the awkwardness, s.h.i.+ Lei finally rolled over and sat on the edge of the bed.

s.h.i.+ Lei wanted to stand but he sensed something was wrong. Wouldn't he be exposed if he stood? So, he remained sitting down as he moved his b.u.t.t forward to pull away from Zhang Liangliang.

Zhang Liangliang was also in a daze. Everything happened too quickly and an idea flashed through her mind. She thought that s.h.i.+ Lei would take advantage of the situation and kiss her, so she was ready to follow up with it. Except she was slightly scared and afraid after being touched in the b.o.o.bs as she wasn't really that type of bad girl. She was only at a rebellious age and changed due to her family's situations.

Zhang Liangliang was relieved as she felt s.h.i.+ Lei rolling to the side. But she was too scared to move as she was afraid that s.h.i.+ Lei will show his brutish side, so much that this girl was pondering whether she should resist or go with it if s.h.i.+ Lei jumps on her again.  

"Dashu is more than 20 years old and almost graduating from university, so he should have experience in this area, right? If I don't fiddle too much, it shouldn't be a problem, right? But isn't it bad to have a relations.h.i.+p with dashu in that way this early?! Maybe I should resist a little. But if I resist, dashu shouldn't be the forceful type…… Aiya, hold on, even the mafia people are afraid of dashu. Would he tie up my hands? Then…… Maybe, I'll just resist a little symbolically, and then half push him…… Oh my G.o.d, what am I supposed to do!"

As she was lost in her fantasies, s.h.i.+ Lei had already calmed down and stood up.

He looked down at his crotch. Good, it's not obvious anymore. s.h.i.+ Lei sat back on the chair.

Seeing that Zhang Liangliang's eyes were closed, frowning, and still laying on the bed, s.h.i.+ Lei coughed lightly and opened his mouth awkwardly: "Ahem, Er'jie, uh, stop laying down. That was an accident and you scared me. Why did you sit on me?"

s.h.i.+ Lei was still a child in his bones. At times like this, he even thought of pus.h.i.+ng the responsibility onto Zhang Liangliang.

Zhang Liangliang heard that s.h.i.+ Lei's voice was not from next to her, she opened her eyes in slight terror. Seeing that s.h.i.+ Lei was sitting on the chair, she quickly pulled her legs back, hugged her knees as she sat at the innermost corner of her bed.

Feeling safe, Zhang Liangliang also looked at s.h.i.+ Lei curiously as she secretly thought that he didn't even do anything to her. Don't tell me it's because I'm not good looking enough?

It could not be ignored that this girl's imagination was really vivid and wild.

"It was you who touched my chest, and you are you blaming me……" Zhang Liangliang rolled her eyes as she complained.

s.h.i.+ Lei was even more awkward. He thought and said: "If you didn't suddenly sit on me, how would I…… I said it was an accident. Uh, Er'jie, you won't tell your mother, will you? I didn't touch you on purpose…… Uh, I just wanted to get up, you know?"

"If you didn't do it on purpose, then you plotted to touch me?" Zhang Liangliang saw that s.h.i.+ Lei was feeling awkward, she was no longer scared. On the contrary, she thought teasing s.h.i.+ Lei was extremely interesting.

Hence, she stuck out her chest and no longer hugged her knees, but straightened her legs.

s.h.i.+ Lei's face was bright red and could not say anything.

"Come! You didn't touch enough just then, did you? You can touch as much as you want now!" Zhang Liangliang's craze came back. She did not only stick out her chest as much as possible, she even touched s.h.i.+ Lei's legs lightly with her toes.

Although she was a child, but she had long legs. What a disaster! ——s.h.i.+ Lei was on the verge of crying. Nowadays, you can't tease perverts, but even worse, you can't tease female perverts!

s.h.i.+ Lei pushed Zhang Liangliang's feet aside and said with a straight face: "I'm your teacher. Although I'm the one receiving the money and you are the paying, but I, as a teacher, only sell my skills and not my body, okay?! Be more respectful!"

Helplessly, s.h.i.+ Lei could only use an internet slang against this girl pervert who was not scared of anything.

"Wow! So outdated!" Zhang Liangliang moved her legs back.

s.h.i.+ Lei turned around. He took the textbook from the table and pretended to flip through it, but he was not taking anything in.

But there was a surprise discovery as s.h.i.+ Lei saw two pieces of paper on the table. They were filled with writings and corrections. The content was rather familiar and it seemed like the questions he gave to Zhang Liangliang last week.

He put down the textbook and held up the two pieces of paper. s.h.i.+ Lei had a close look and it was really the questions from last week. He scanned through them and it was not bad as she basically gave correct answers.

"Your foundation isn't bad, you even had correct answers for the questions I gave you!" s.h.i.+ Lei finally found a way to solve the awkward situation, and it was to go back on the track of normal tutoring content.

Zhang Liangliang knelt on the bed and crawled up. She stuck out her head and had a look: "I was a study G.o.d before. I could do this kind of question when I was in middle school first year."

s.h.i.+ Lei glanced at her. The way she looked now really did look like someone who was good at studying. The way she looked last week, was the style of the worst students who sucked at studies.

But it was not too strange. Zhang Meimei was definitely an elite. Lawyer, and a female lawyer at that, it even sounds high-cla.s.s and she must've had good grades before. With IQ like this, her daughter wouldn't be anywhere far from her either, so it wasn't really a surprise that Zhang Liangliang was good at studying. Except that the drastic changes her family has had in the past year, and severely lacking attention and care from her parents on a long term, Zhang Liangliang acted so rebelliously. Even if she was really bad at studying, Zhang Liangliang was definitely one of those who would re-join the study G.o.d in a short time.

This was definitely good news for s.h.i.+ Lei. Obviously, Zhang Liangliang's problem was not studies itself, but psychologically. If she could feel the family's warmth, everything will be solved.

"Don't be arrogant, these questions were only basic knowledges and represents the bottom line. I'll give you harder questions to see where your limit is!"

With that, s.h.i.+ Lei took out a few practice booklets for every single subject, picked out some difficult questions, circled them and pa.s.sed it to Zhang Liangliang.

Zhang Liangliang pulled a bitter face and said: "Dashu, don't be like this. We are always doing these questions, why can't have a chat?"

"If you can do all these questions, I'll chat for a bit with you!"

"Keep your words! Don't regret it. If I can do all of them, can you eat dinner with me?"

Seeing that Zhang Liangliang was begging him, s.h.i.+ Lei could not bring himself to reject so he said: "If you can get everything correct, I'll eat dinner with you. Oh right, isn't your mother coming back for dinner?"

"Dashu, you can say things, but don't scold me!"

"Since when did I scold you?!" s.h.i.+ Lei scratched his head.

"Just then!" Zhang Liangliang laughed and jumped off the bed. She stood next to s.h.i.+ Lei and looked at him with a faint smile.

s.h.i.+ Lei escaped in a hurry and sat on the bed, leaving the chair for Zhang Liangliang.

Zhang Liangliang had already started doing the questions, but s.h.i.+ Lei was still pondering. What the h.e.l.l, when did I scold her?

He couldn't think of the answer but Zhang Liangliang had already finished doing the questions. s.h.i.+ Lei checked through them and they were surprisingly all correct. s.h.i.+ Lei changed his views on Zhang Liangliang completely; she was really a G.o.d of studying. Although they were only middle school questions, but s.h.i.+ Lei haven't done these for a long time. If he was asked to do these, he couldn't even promise to get all of them right.

She could have relied on studying to get red flowers(1), but she just had to fight against the world with her good looks. s.h.i.+ Lei sighed and stood up: "With your level, you don't even need a tutor. Even I can't do this."

"You only need to accompany me to eat dinner! I want seafood buffet!"

"Deal! You pay for the bill!"

"Heh, stingy!"

Chapter 43 - End of Newbie Training

s.h.i.+ Lei didn't know what the person who spends money with the least pressure in the world is like, but the person before him really let him experience that.

Although the food and drinks weren't too different to normal seafood buffet, but Zhang Liangliang chose the tallest building in Wudong, as well as the second tallest building in China.

Perhaps because the building was quite tall, the price was rather expensive too.

s.h.i.+ Lei would not lose himself over food which costs over a few thousands as he had seen a lot. But a middle school student about 16 years old wanted to spend this much and didn't treat money as money made s.h.i.+ Lei sigh with emotions.

When they were getting food, Zhang Liangliang was talking to s.h.i.+ Lei about this building, such as if they start measuring the building from the garage, and purely compare the height of the building, it would be the tallest building in China. But because usually they only calculate from the ground and up, it ended up as the second tallest. And, even though it might not be the tallest restaurant in the world, but it would no doubt be the tallest buffet in the world.

s.h.i.+ Lei didn't know what was the point of Zhang Liangliang telling him these information, so he asked: "So this means that Wu Dong people like to show off, right?"

Zhang Liangliang didn't understand s.h.i.+ Lei so she gave him a surprised look.

s.h.i.+ Lei explained: "You see, the tallest building in the world isn't here, right? Even the tallest in China isn't here. Even if they compare the restaurants alone, obviously this one isn't the highest either. But, this is the tallest buffet in the world. This is saying that compare to other people from other regions or countries, they think that at a high-rise place like this, they should eat something more fancy. They think highly of it and the restaurants they have are all fancy. But for us, we only used it as a buffet. Although the price is pretty expensive, but if citizens spare some money for it they would be able to afford it. It's not like the restaurant in the tallest building in China located in Shanghai, you can't even afford it even if you eat steamed buns for a whole year. So, Wu Dong people just like to show off, a bit of a fuerdai like you, you don't treat good things as things!"

"Hey! Dashu, what are you saying? I thought it was rather interesting, why did you bring me into this?" Zhang Liangliang was extremely dissatisfied.

"You probably never earned a cent in your life. This cost more than a thousand for one person. But in reality, look at these things, they aren't much better than those that cost two or three hundred dollars. If it wasn't for you who doesn't treat money as money, who would come all the way here to get ripped off?"

"That's easy. If you pay for the bill, there won't be a problem."

s.h.i.+ Lei waved his hand in a hurry. It's not like he didn't want to spend those two thousand bucks, but because firstly, he wasn't sure whether Zhang Liangliang was considered as his friend. s.h.i.+ Lei couldn't do anything about this point as the Scepter was the one to judge. The second point was more deadly as s.h.i.+ Lei was almost out of money.

s.h.i.+ Lei had spent this week's quota already according to his calculations. Even if he didn't count the quota, he only had about a hundred left on him. The 120 yuan was the fees for tutoring Zhang Liangliang.

"As a man, I need to act according to the situation. Paying for the bill, especially such an expensive one, it's better to let you, a fuerdai, to handle it."

"I'm not a fuerdai, my Mum doesn't have much money either."

"If you really think that your mother doesn't have much money, you should save some for her. It's just a simple dinner, you can find a random restaurant and deal with it with a hundred bucks."

Zhang Liangliang suddenly became angry. She slammed the plate full of food on the counter and walked away. s.h.i.+ Lei didn't know how he had p.i.s.sed her off, and he chased after her quickly with two plates in his hands.

Good thing that Zhang Liangliang didn't plan to leave, but walked to the seat she chose carefully before and sat down angrily. Her body was facing the window, looking down at Wu Dong city which has nothing to be seen but lights.

"What the h.e.l.l? Aren't you gonna eat?" s.h.i.+ Lei put the plate down in front of Zhang Liangliang and asked.

"Eat my a.s.s, I'm already full thanks to you!"

s.h.i.+ Lei laughed. He shoved a small abalone in his mouth and said: "It cost more than a thousand bucks, it's a shame if you don't eat it!"

"Is money all you care about?" Zhang Liangliang glared at s.h.i.+ Lei angrily.

s.h.i.+ Lei was still laughing and said: "That's better than you who knows nothing about money!"

"Eat, eat, eat, I hope you die from eating!"

"Eating to death is better than starving to death!"

"……" Zhang Liangliang was speechless. After they finished eating, s.h.i.+ Lei wanted to send Zhang Liangliang home, but she ignored him. She called for a taxi and went in the car without s.h.i.+ Lei. s.h.i.+ Lei quickly called for one and followed after Zhang Liangliang to make sure that she went home and not go to the bar, then he returned to his school.

As soon as he got off the car, his phone rang. s.h.i.+ Lei checked and the messages were from Zhang Liangliang.

Er'jie: Did you go back to school?

Three stones: I just got off the car, going in now.

Er'jie: I'm hungry. Eat supper with me.

Three stones: Are you crazy? You just finished eating and you are hungry again?

Er'jie: Obviously. You ate everything just then and I only ate some fruit.

Three stones: Buffet over a thousand bucks and you only ate fruits. Are you dumb?

Er'jie: ……

Er'jie: I don't care, you have to get supper with me.

Three stones: I'm sleepy and I want to sleep. Just eat some biscuits or instant noodles. Oh, or some chocolate. You don't seem to be in a good mood. Chocolates can make you happier.

Er'jie: ……

Er'jie: Not cool! Really not cool!

s.h.i.+ Lei had a thought and decided not to respond. As he walked into the dorm building, his phone rang again. s.h.i.+ Lei took it out and it was still Zhang Liangliang.

Er'jie: Look at my Moments.

s.h.i.+ Lei frowned and opened his WeChat Moments. As expected, he saw Zhang Liangliang's newly posted photos. There were four altogether. The first one was the night view outside the building and the lights were rather mesmerizing. The second photo was the environment of the restaurant. Anyone who has went to the restaurant would recognise the exaggerated furnis.h.i.+ng of the restaurant. The third photo was a plate full of food with lobsters and abalones. The fourth photo was a selfie of Zhang Liangliang. She was pretty even with no makeup, plus her face was filled with collagen, it was better than using filters.

Three stones: Pretty pretty.

Er'jie: Is that it?

Three stones: What else?

Er'jie: Go die!

s.h.i.+ Lei scratched his head, thinking that it was rather hard to get along with beauties in their rebellious period.

When it was almost midnight, s.h.i.+ Lei wandered out of the school gate. Looking at the time, there was one minute until midnight and he walked into the self-service bank.

He inserted the black card into the ATM and the familiar scene appeared in front of him once again. The Scepter gradually spun from a gold dot into a full Scepter.

Before s.h.i.+ Lei opened his mouth, the Scepter's as.e.xual voice sounded.

"Congratulations, my slave. Through your hard work in the past four weeks, you have pa.s.sed the newbie training period. Now, you are officially my slave."

s.h.i.+ Lei felt something was wrong and asked carefully: "What do you mean by officially?"

The Scepter laughed freakishly in satisfaction: "Hahaha, exactly what it means!"

"What about the four weeks before?"

"Idiot! Didn't I just tell you that you pa.s.sed the newbie training period? Obviously the four weeks before was training!"

"What's the difference, I will still be punished if I don't finish spending the money!"

The Scepter laughed oddly again and s.h.i.+ Lei was freaked out by it. At the same time, he realised something.

"The punishments during the training period won't take your life, hehehe."

"Don't you dare tell me I could quit any time during the training period!"

"Lowly slave, looks like after these four weeks' training, your IQ has increased noticeably!"

HOLY s.h.i.+T!
