"You have really taken everything from me, you know?" She said, still backing me in shame.
'What did this sly ghost mean by that? Was she not the kind that could give people pleasure for one hour and suffer them for a thousand years?'
Regardless, it was not as if I asked her for this, but I couldn't deny that fact. But honestly, if I knew it was so sweet, I wouldn't mind asking earlier. However, I was silent, waiting to see how it all played out.
"This gift should be the best, right?" She asked!
'Says who?'
But I remained silent still. I couldn't understand why this girl kept messing with all my emotions.
Li Min continued, "I've used this gift to compensate for the trouble I've caused you. However, as I previously said: this prize is too much of a price to pay for causing you trouble. So firstly, you should solve the problem of creating questions with me. I know you had already taken measures against the spies planted in our class, but you should help with the question. Moreover, you will wash the class alone, but I will accompany you; with a big beauty like me, that should be enough to upgrade your status, haha. Don't allow people to sneak attack and kill you because of me; there would be a mountain of people blocking you in this school for my sake. They're all my admirers, and you've just won all of them in one swoop attack; you're one lucky ghost. However, I will likely continue to increase these conditions as I see fit. After all, I have sealed our fate formally—you belong to me now; make no mistake about it."
Just as she uttered these statements, I gave an agonizing moan. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Could this sly ghost ever change? It was unlikely! She was still as selfish as the seven spirits of the devil. Although, that kiss was so soft that it immediately relieved my pent-up stress. I knew I shouldn't be bracing this idea (we were not up to the age), but I couldn't help it.
I still had the urge to ask her why she loved me the way she did. I believed she had no reason to love a troublemaker and time bomb like me. Was it all a pretense for me to help her? Anyway, I swallowed my curiosity instead. It was not like I hadn't asked these questions before, but she was nebulous about it. Regardless, her eyes and action had already explained all her standpoint. No matter how gullible I am, I should understand that she did have feelings for me. Could I use myself as her weakness? Does my value in her life rank so high that she could do anything for my sake? My mind churned a series of wild thoughts.
"You should try not to show the outside world that you love me. It would be good to define our relationship simply: a servant and master relationship. In reality, it's the reverse, though. But the world should know that I am your servants."
"Don't worry; the students won't know for now. However, you should know at the very least (even though you're a novice) that women have high intuitiveness, especially those girls close to you. Or even secretly loving you. Regardless, I don't mind you playing around only to test what you love and don't. I know you are stark plain when it comes to it. Although I decided you could test other things, don't go overboard. And I should probably warn you since you're mine: I might not care about these guys in the Thunder nation because they are not qualified to contest with me for you, but it might be different in the prince's world. So if you do anything stupid there, I will kill you with my own hands."
Crap, too much trouble! Why do problems fly around like a blood insect seeking whom to inflict? Now I am in a forceful marriage? I knew I should have avoided that kiss, but my emotional and sensual faculty overpowered my judgment faculty. In fact, could I even defend against it when she had already fixed her mind to it? Sighs, I guess I'm just going to endure it. She said I had no experience with love, but it wasn't as though she was an expert. If not, should I be the one to steal her first hug and first kiss? She kissed me because she wanted; should I kiss her because I wished? But there is no saying when she will give me an awakening slap if I think ahead of myself. Li Min, who saw my confusion lovely giggled, but she wouldn't deceive me by that innocent captivating appearance; she was full of violence. I don't want to expect too much before I regret it.
Li Min sighed in disappointment. She churned her mind. 'look at him—it's all boring. Why can't he dominate me? I want to submit like a child. Although, people don't understand. But when someone possessively dominates you, they also lose control against your enchantment. They become totally bewitched.'
I couldn't muster the courage to kiss her, so we left for the class punishment. At the day's end, I literally did everything on my own, and all she did was order me around. I washed the classroom till I reached my physical limit. When I returned, I was dead tired, so I took my bath and had dinner. After eating, I decided to give myself a refreshing sleep. A lot had been happening simultaneously; they totally exhausted my mind. At this moment, I dreamt. In my deep sleep, I saw a city and heard people talking. The city was like the city of gods; it dazzled with sun and moon; pure miraculous fountains and mountains stood stunning people. In that dream, I guessed this city was not an average city. However, I saw two silhouettes having a deep conversation in that dream. One of the silhouettes held a wrapped child. Although I couldn't clearly see-through, I heard the child's whimpering.
"Take the child to the surface," one of the silhouettes said.
"But brother, this is your child, your heir." The other cautiously pleaded.
"Say no more. The boy didn't even awake any heavenly vision on his birth. He is completely ordinary. Do you think they will accept him? The temple will kill him. Brother, I trouble you to allow him a normal life." Saying that: the other silhouette threw a necklace with a phoenix and dragon flying in harmony. "This is the only thing papa will leave you with; grow well." He ended his speech sentimentally.
At this moment, I woke up in shock and fear. What was that dream? I thought! I felt an intimacy with the two silhouettes, but after consideration—they may not be familiar. However, the same feeling appeared for the child and the necklace. Still, I felt it was unlikely. It could be just a coincidence. But I will talk to my old man and old ma. Sigh, I exhaled in relief.
I've really wasted a lot of time on useless issues recently. I have to develop these sets of pills. I picked up my phone and pinged in some text: [Xiu Ying I won't come to school tomorrow or the next. Anyway, classes won't be serious. So help me with a sick leave excuse.]
At this moment, Xiu Ying received a beep on her phone. It was 1 am. But Xiu Ying was the kind that the slightest noise could wake. She richly designed her room with accessories just like an orchid. But her room was also white like a Lily: pure and innocent. She rolled on her bed to get the beeping phone from her headboard. As she saw the message, she wondered what could make him avoid classes. She couldn't think of any devilish thing that could drag my feet out of the classroom. But she decided not to debate on the matter. "sigh, Guang Fang is indeed Guang Fang. He could pretty much do whatever he wanted." She muttered and replied.
In my room, I went to take my shower. I knew I would have a difficult battle this time. I must create the pills that I want. So I quickly showered. In the bathroom, I thought a lot: I reflected on my life. What if I had been living a life of lie? Such tormenting wild thought couldn't escape my recess for a while. However, I decided against those thoughts. My parents had never badly treated me. Neither have they treated me too respectfully. Although they couldn't beat me, nothing had stopped them from handing me over to those that could. I quickly finished my bath and entered my bed with my leg crossed. 'I have to deal with that ungrateful ghost, gods-mind.' I thought.
At this moment, I appeared before the almighty golden stele: it was like judgment. The monument joyfully flickered with golden light; the palpable pressure was surreal. The more than a thousand-hands-Buddha statue shone brightly even to the point of appalling heavens. The dragon and phoenix statues looked more realistic and life-induced, especially their stares, they looked dangerous. It looked like they could see all my thoughts.
