Chapter 217: You Ungrateful Bastard
Xu Danying's small face was red like a ripe apple. Zhang Yang followed her gaze, subconsciously lowered his head, and damn... the zipper of his pants wasn't even pulled up.
What's worse, the area beside the zipper was a bit wet, and to make it even more embarrassing, he was stepping on a crumpled tissue that had just been used to wipe something. Anyone with a normal brain could easily guess what had just happened.
"Uh… this system isn't bad. I've tested most of the functions. Let's leave it at that for now. Danying, you and your sister can keep checking it out, let her get more familiar with it. I'll head out first, I've got class later…"
After saying that, Zhang Yang silently turned around, quietly zipped up, and then slipped away in a flash.
Damn it, my image is completely ruined! Sister Gao Qi, you've killed me! If you hadn't barged in, I'd be done by now!
Gao Qi saw Zhang Yang leave and was just about to comment on how fast he ran when she suddenly felt her bra snap open and finally collapse. Luckily, it didn't fall completely to the floor, but the sudden change in shape and the two obvious points pressing against her tight sweater betrayed her. She quickly adjusted her coat, glanced at Xu Danlu, and said, "Uh… I think my period just started… You sisters go ahead and study slowly."
And she quickly rolled away.
The two sisters were left staring at each other, especially Xu Danlu, utterly speechless. Facing two ungrateful teammates who ran like pigs, what could she even say?
"Sis, I'll teach you." Xu Danying gave her sister a meaningful look and said with a smile.
"Oh, okay… okay!" she answered blankly, glancing at the door. Those two bastards really had no sense of loyalty; even their shadows were gone.
Especially Zhang Yang, that typical guy who runs off right after pulling up his pants. Just wait till tonight—see how I deal with you.
Well, maybe he'll end up dealing with himself.
"Wahahaha!" Hiding in a safe corner, Gao Qi burst into laughter.
She pointed at Zhang Yang, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. But still, she suppressed her voice, afraid Xu Danying would hear. "I was just thinking, if you'd forgotten to tuck your dick back in earlier, that would've been hilarious."
Zhang Yang's face darkened. He reached out and pinched her perky snowy ass hard. "You've got nerve talking about that! If you hadn't barged in suddenly, I would've finished already! You scared the shit out of me—I almost couldn't function as a man!"
"No way! Can't function? No! Yangzi, my sex life depends on you!" Gao Qi instantly made a bitter face and reached out toward his crotch. "Let Sister Qi check it."
Zhang Yang dodged quickly. "Damn it, have some decency! If someone sees us, I won't be able to stay here anymore."
"Then what do we do?" Gao Qi looked genuinely worried, or maybe pretending not to hear him properly. "I've heard about this kind of thing before. Should we go to the hospital right now to check?"
Zhang Yang sighed. "No need. Let's go to your room. I'll just check it on you in person."
"Screw off, I'm still sore down there."
"It's been two days already…"
"Even a scraped hand takes five or six days to heal, let alone that…"
"Oh yeah? Let's check." Zhang Yang was just about to lift her skirt when the sound of high heels came from the stairs. At the corner, Yang Fei's stunning face appeared.
Zhang Yang's balls tightened instantly. He quickly retracted his hand and glanced at the time—yep, just past seven.
Seeing that, Gao Qi coughed a few times and casually greeted her, "Teacher Feifei."
Yang Fei smiled faintly and nodded. That breathtaking smile left Gao Qi dazed—this ice-cold beauty smiling was enough to make anyone jealous and envious.
"Zhang Yang… then… I'll go check the financial report first. Don't let me hold you up for class." Gao Qi thought nervously—did she hear what I just said?
Judging by the distance, it'd be hard not to hear. Great, now she's embarrassed as hell. She wouldn't care if anyone else in the villa overheard, but facing Yang Fei, she suddenly felt like her dirty jokes had profaned a goddess.
Didn't check the almanac before going out today, huh? Damn it, is this karma? she cursed silently, then immediately rolled away again, abandoning her teammate once more.
Yang Fei looked at Zhang Yang, glanced at the white wristwatch on her snow-white wrist, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I grabbed something at the airport when I went to pick up Danying. What about you, teacher?"
"I spent half the day in the library, so I just ate on my way out." Yang Fei walked up beside him, her beautiful face close to his, gently sniffed, then frowned. "Why are you sweating so much?"
That affectionate gesture made Zhang Yang's heart race. The faint fragrance from her body almost made him lose control. Sweating… right, what was I just doing? Damn you, Gao Qi, I hate you!
"Just caught a peeper sneaking around the villa, so I ran a bit," Zhang Yang made up a reasonable excuse.
"Mm, I heard from Yang Jing." Yang Fei glanced at him. "Since you've eaten, let's go to class. Your English exam this time wasn't bad, but you'll have to go abroad often in the future. Your speaking still needs progress—you can't slack off now."
Zhang Yang nodded, feeling touched and excited.
He was touched because, although he had that so-called Primary Brain Domain Development ability and learned quickly, someone still had to teach him. Without Yang Fei lowering herself to patiently guide him, he'd still be an English noob.
Excited because of what she said—she heard it from Yang Jing. That meant she was at least willing to talk to Yang Jing now, maybe even listen to her. That meant the ice between the sisters was starting to melt. Perfect! That F-level special mission—he'd been waiting forever for it!
Thinking of Yang Jing, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Both of them had been so busy lately that they hadn't spent any time together.
Maybe he should talk to her tonight after class?
But class ends at nine… is that too early?
Well, she lives right across the hall. Maybe around one or two in the morning? Wouldn't it be better when the night's quiet? He thought, still feeling repressed today, and once again cursed Gao Qi.
"What are you spacing out for? Go up." Yang Fei hesitated, then poked the dazed Zhang Yang with her finger.
"Uh, right!"
The lessons Yang Fei taught now were far beyond what Zhang Yang needed to graduate. They were shifting more toward conversational practice. In her eyes, Zhang Yang was destined for big things. He'd need to travel the world, and though advanced grammar wasn't essential, fluent communication was.
"When you're abroad, if you really want to connect with people, you have to respect their customs and word usage. English in Yorkshire isn't the same as in London. Texas English differs from Maryland's too… When I went abroad as an exchange student, I learned that firsthand."
Yang Fei taught seriously, never slacking off. Even though Zhang Yang was now quite familiar with her, whenever he daydreamed, her sharp gaze would immediately pull him back.
She'd been especially strict lately, as if frustrated by his lack of progress—or maybe like she wished she could stuff everything she knew straight into his brain.
"Zhang Yang, daydreaming again, huh?"
As Zhang Yang's mind drifted off again, he met Yang Fei's piercing gaze. Though that sharpness carried a hint of softness, she still smacked him lightly with her book, looking annoyed.
"Uh, sorry." Zhang Yang was actually half listening while thinking about that voyeur incident. There should be results by now. But since he always kept his phone on vibrate during class…
"Alright, that's it for today." Yang Fei looked down at her book and realized she'd unknowingly taught double the usual amount. She wondered if he could even digest it all.
"Huh? Already?"
"Already? You weren't even paying attention! If you fail the test tomorrow, I won't let you off."
"I'll definitely complete the mission."
"You'd better!" Yang Fei shot him a look, then hesitated as she put the book back on the shelf. In a low voice, she asked, "You and Gao Qi… you're not just coworkers, are you?"
"Ah…"
"Ah, what?" Yang Fei turned back to look at him and said calmly, "I heard your whole conversation."
Zhang Yang froze. You heard it all? Fuck me. His face turned red instantly. Sneaking a glance at Yang Fei, he whispered, "Teacher… can't you just pretend you didn't hear it?"
"I wish I could, but you two were too loud." Yang Fei sighed, rolled her eyes, and said, "You should be more mindful of your surroundings."
"Teacher must think I'm a total playboy." Now that she knew about him and Gao Qi, his image in her eyes was completely ruined. If she ever found out about him and Yang Jing too, she'd probably lose her mind.
Yang Fei looked at him and said lightly, "Everyone has their own moral compass and life principles. What others say doesn't matter. But if you really think that way yourself, how can you face the girls who truly follow you?"
"Teacher, do you really think so?"
"Does what I think matter?" Yang Fei turned back and looked at him, her eyes filled with an unusual seriousness and expectation rarely seen from her.
