Chapter 26: The Little Brat’s Victory

Mo Liang had no time to react before Shen Zhiyi shoved her down onto the bed.

She didn’t even get a chance to struggle. Her back sank into the soft mattress, and her wrists were pinned above her head, completely immobile.

“Mm! What are you doing?”

She swallowed, her voice growing weak without her meaning it to.

They were too close. Shen Zhiyi’s nose almost touched hers, and every breath Shen Zhiyi exhaled washed over her face.

‘It smells nice, but this distance is way too dangerous, isn’t it?’

Mo Liang’s body began to tremble slightly, but she refused to back down. “Let me go. I’ll give you a bit more space, okay?”

Shen Zhiyi looked at the small face pinned beneath her, full of righteous indignation.

She admitted it made her laugh in anger.

Mo Liang saw her smile and thought it was a happy smile. She felt relieved.

“No need to thank me. Who else would be this generous?”

She wasn’t stupid. She could tell Shen Zhiyi was angry right now. If she just went along with her, she could get through this and dodge the disaster first.

But clearly, once those words left her mouth, Shen Zhiyi’s expression darkened even more.

‘Who said anything about thanking this little jerk?’

She couldn’t understand how the other girl had read the word “thank you” from her expression.

She couldn’t win with words, and reasoning only got her stared down by those innocent big eyes.

She didn’t bother talking to this little brat anymore. Just act. Give her a beating first.

She scooped Mo Liang up from the bed, flipped her over, and laid her firmly across her lap.

“Huh?” Before Mo Liang could react, she was already lying face-down on Shen Zhiyi’s lap, her butt pointed at the ceiling.

She kicked twice and was about to turn her head to protest when a slap landed squarely on her bottom.

Smack.

“Mm!” After days without it, the familiar pain returned to her butt. She was being spanked again.

It hurt so much! The pain almost brought tears to her eyes.

“Shen Zhiyi, you jerk! Let me go!”

She struggled and mouthed off, but after another smack, she softened.

“Wuu… I was wrong, sister. I won’t dare again. Let me go…”

“Tell me what you did wrong.” Shen Zhiyi stopped, but still held Mo Liang over her lap, waiting for an answer.

Honestly, she didn’t like using her hands, but this little brat really knew how to push her luck.

At first, she had curled up in her arms, calling her sister this and sister that. Now, only a few days later, she dared to make her sleep on the small mat.

Today she had to teach her a lesson.

After all, she counted as the other girl’s sister now.

“Wuwuwu, I shouldn’t have come back so late…” Mo Liang lay on Shen Zhiyi’s lap, her voice soft and tearful, but the end of her sentence tilted upward slightly, making it sound like she was teasing.

Shen Zhiyi frowned and brought down another slap.

Mo Liang yelped and immediately corrected herself. “And for making sister sleep on the small mat!”

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and delivered another clean slap.

After that one, Mo Liang finally behaved.

She lay over Shen Zhiyi’s lap, sniffling. “Okay, okay, I’ll be good and listen to you from now on.”

“Hm? And if you don’t listen again, what then?” Shen Zhiyi didn’t let her up right away.

Mo Liang lay there, her ears burning red.

She bit her lip, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s hum. “Wha…whatever sister says.”

Then she buried her face in Shen Zhiyi’s lap.

‘Haha, how did I even say that? So embarrassing.’

Shen Zhiyi’s hand froze in midair. She suddenly felt like the room had gotten a few degrees warmer. She quickly set Mo Liang down from her lap, turned her head away, and coughed lightly.

Mo Liang scrambled to the corner of the bed, her ear tips red enough to drip blood.

One looked at the ceiling, the other at the floor.

Finally, Shen Zhiyi spoke first.

“All right, all right. I’m going to shower. You sleep first.”

She tried hard to keep her voice calm.

Mo Liang watched her hurried retreat, stunned for a few seconds. Then the corner of her mouth lifted, and she quickly turned the air conditioner down several degrees.

‘Hmph, you think you can fight me?’

She muttered smugly under her breath.

In her view, the contest was already decided. Shen Zhiyi had fled in defeat. This was Mo Liang’s great victory!

But her mind kept replaying the scene from before. The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she got, and her heart started racing again.

She buried her face in the pillow and kicked her legs twice on the bed, then finally went still.

Don’t think about it. Don’t think about it. Sleep.

Half asleep, Mo Liang felt the mattress dip behind her. Then a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, pulling her whole body into a warm embrace.

She didn’t need to open her eyes to know it was Shen Zhiyi, that jerk.

Those hands, whether on purpose or not, stayed at her waist. Their fingertips brushed lightly against her thin pajamas, off and on.

Mo Liang felt restless all over, but she was too sleepy to struggle or curse. She just mumbled “jerk” and shrank into the other’s arms, falling back into a deep sleep.

When Mo Liang opened her eyes the next day, she found herself still tightly held in Shen Zhiyi’s arms.

The other’s warm breath brushed over the top of her head. Shen Zhiyi was sleeping deeply, and didn’t even wake when Mo Liang tried to slip out.

Mo Liang carefully crawled out from under the arm around her waist. Only when her feet touched the floor did she let out a long sigh of relief.

Good, she didn’t wake her. If she got another spanking for waking her, she couldn’t take it.

After washing up, she wiped her face with a towel and walked toward the living room. As she passed the coffee table, she suddenly stopped.

On the coffee table sat a small box the size of a palm, tied with a thin ribbon.

She hadn’t noticed it there at all when she came back yesterday.

“Hm?” Mo Liang picked up the ribboned box from the coffee table and weighed it in her hand.

Not heavy, and no sound when she shook it. She turned it over between her fingers a few times, and several thoughts popped into her head.

Did Shen Zhiyi buy it?

She didn’t seem like someone who spent money carelessly. Could someone have given it to her? Or was she planning to give it to someone?

The more she thought, the more curious she got. Maybe she should open it and see what was inside.

Shen Zhiyi was sleeping deeply anyway. It should be fine if she sneaked a peek, right?

Even if she got caught, what could Shen Zhiyi do? At most another spanking. It wasn’t like she hadn’t been spanked before.

After so many times, her butt was already tough. Though that wasn’t exactly something to be proud of.

She held the box and hesitated on the sofa for a moment, then made up her mind.

Today she had to see what was inside.
