Chapter 36: I Can’t Wait Any Longer~

“For this multiple-choice question, based on the part of speech…”

“Yawn~”

Despite sleeping well last night, English class still made Ling Yuan yawn uncontrollably. Five minutes in, his eyes were already teary from drowsiness.

“That tired?”

Yixin Xue whispered, puzzled, as she spread the test paper on the desk. He hadn’t glanced at a single question.

Truth be told, he didn’t even know which question they were on.

“You don’t get it…”

He rubbed his eyes.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be this tortured.”

“Hm…”

Her heart fluttered. Though unintentional, his words touched her.

“What do you mean ‘for me’? It’s for your own good.”

She smiled lightly, her hand sliding under the desk to his.

“During the break, come with me to the office to move books. Oh, and there’s a reward~ It’ll keep you awake next class~”

Hearing this, his drowsiness vanished.

Reward?

Great, no chance of dozing off this morning.

“Class President… this is school…”

“So what? It’ll keep you awake.”

She continued taking notes nonchalantly.

“Plus, you took my sister’s chocolate. I haven’t punished you for that—or yesterday afternoon. Hm~ We’ll settle it tonight~ I don’t like debts.”

“Not your place, right…?”

“If you want to go, I won’t stop you~”

Though their voices were low, the student in front overheard, turning back with a confused look.

Their talk of rewards and punishments overloaded her brain.

Rewards? Punishments…? Sounds wild…

Did the Class President and Ling Yuan have some secret?

Maybe her stare embarrassed Yixin Xue, who snapped, “Stop looking. Focus on class.”

“Okay…”

But with such juicy gossip, how could she focus? She spent the whole class pondering their words.

Ling Yuan stared at the digital clock above the blackboard—used for countdowns to the college entrance exam.
As time ticked by, his anxiety grew.

When the bell rang, he felt death looming.

“Let’s go~”

Yixin Xue stood, flashing a chilling smile.

He looked at her, terrified, mumbling, “Class… Class President… can I go to exercises instead…?”

“No way. Too many assignments. I have to make multiple trips.”

She stuck out her tongue.

“What, you don’t like my rewards~? I’ll make sure you love this one~”

His face froze, catching the deeper meaning.

[What did I do in my past life to deserve this…?] 

“I’ll hit the bathroom first… Be right back…”

He turned to leave, but a soft whisper stopped him.

“Wanna savor you so bad~”

[Sh*t! She’s a pervert!]

After the bathroom, he planned to slip to the field, but Yixin Xue was waiting at the door, as if she’d predicted his move.

She’d outsmarted his outsmarting.

“Let’s go~”

She gave a kind smile.

“Next class is math. We’ll grab last week’s quizzes and assignments~”

“Uh, okay…”

Nervous, he trailed her timidly. All the students were at the field for exercises, followed by the flag-raising ceremony.

Even teachers had to attend.

So, the building was nearly empty, save for a few class reps.

On the stairs, Yixin Xue suddenly stopped. He didn’t need to guess what was coming.

“Class President… this is school… It’s not good…”

“That’s what makes it thrilling~”

Giving up resistance, he let her push him to the wall, her soft body pressing against his chest.

“Class President, what if someone…”

“I can’t wait any longer~ Stop talking~”

Her breaths grew hot, words unnecessary.

She closed her eyes slightly, her lips meeting his, moving softly, nibbling gently. Seconds later, her tongue probed his closed teeth.

Panicked, he heard footsteps on the stairs. Startled, he pushed her away, scanning nervously.

Unsatisfied, she licked her lips, unwilling to stop.

“Someone’s coming…”

He whispered.

“So what~”

She leaned in, winking seductively.

“Doesn’t it benefit you~? Isn’t this a reward~?”

“Emmm…”

For other guys, maybe a reward. For him… this was punishment.

“Want more~?”

There’s someone, I said!

He screamed internally.

“Yo~ Xue’er, what’s this?”

“Hm?”

She turned to the voice, confused.

“Why aren’t you at exercises, Sister?”

“Forget that~ What’re you two up to~?”

Yingnan Xue gave a knowing look.

“Couldn’t hold back, huh?”

“Yeah, so what.”

Yixin Xue grabbed his wrist, showing off.

“Let’s go move assignments.”

“Aw, jealous much?”

Yingnan Xue watched them go, the crisp bell on Yixin Xue’s hair echoing in the empty stairwell.

“I told you someone was coming…”

He’d been scared half to death, too spooked to speak.

He was a bad student but followed school rules. Never got a demerit! If it wasn’t Yingnan Xue but a teacher…

They could’ve slapped him with a harassment charge.

“Such a coward. Shouldn’t guys be the bold ones~?”

She seemed calm, but her heart was racing.

The riskier, the more thrilling~ The more exciting~

She couldn’t quite describe this feeling~

“Tch…”

He clicked his tongue, at a loss for words.

[What can I do with her?]

“Since you’re scared of getting caught, I know lots of places~ During evening study, the grove by the field~ Daytime, the gym storage or Discipline Committee room~ So many spots~”

“Aren’t those where you catch couples…?”

The Discipline Committee, a key student council branch, focused on self-discipline and student conduct.

Overly intimate acts on campus fell under their jurisdiction. If caught, it’d be reported to the administration—possibly a demerit…

“Smart~ You guessed right~”
