At the request of their parents, it was finally agreed upon that Shen Rong would return home every weekend, hence, their home tuition sessions were to be continued. With a wonderful teacher by her side and her continuous hard work, Gu MingYue’s scores improved at a lightning speed, she managed to catch the eyes of high-ranking universities in the capital.
In fact, Shen Rong was also in a happy mood. Her achievements indirectly proved that he was quite efficient at teaching others.
In fact, though he still saw her as a bitch with the charming face of a fox spirit, he was comforted by the fact that at least she was one with a brain. He could not deny the fact that she HAD been extremely hardworking on her studies.
Of course, this wasn’t enough for him to stop calling her a “bitch” or a “whore”, as that was all this stepsister of his would ever be to him.
Gu MingYue was already sixteen years old, and her body grew beautifully. She was about 1.6 meters tall, with skin as pale as snow. Her waist was slim, and her bosoms were blooming for her age.
Her long silky obsidian hair was kept straight and soft, while her long fringe was pushed towards one side, often covering half of her striking face. Her eyes were clear and bright, lined with beautiful long lashes. She had a small, delicate nose and rose-colored lips, which were always puckered up prettily. The two completely different temperaments of elegance and allure were subtly mixed together, bringing a mysterious charm to her entireness.
She was fully aware of her allure, hence she always sought to wear a stern and cold expression, but still, she had a sense of a young girl’s innocence, which would often surface inadvertently when she spoke.
People around her could not help but be attracted to her demeanor.
Not to mention that the people around her are mostly fifteen and sixteen-year-olds, who were just being exposed to high school life and love affairs. In fact, in the two weeks after attending high school, Gu MingYue had received love letters and gifts daily, so much so that she couldn’t even fit them on her desk.
Some of her admirers were from her school, some of them were from other schools. Gu MingYue had never been pursued in such a bold manner, and it was causing her to feel uncomfortable and somewhat uneasy in this situation.
The letters, which were full of passion, were all fed into the public canteen trash can, while the gifts were distributed to her female classmates, so even though they would often criticize and gossip about her behind her back, they would still keep up the friendly appearances in front of her.
In fact, Gu MingYue would even tear open the love letters before disposing of them, pretending that she had seen and read each and every single one of them.
But sometimes, her admirers might get sneaky and instead, hide the love letters inside her bag instead, which she would then bring home obliviously. Gu MingYue would sometimes open them up and read the contents within, usually bursting out in laughter at their use of words.
It was another sunny day when Gu MingYue received a disturbing love letter, and after giving it much thought, she decided to bring it home and hide it carefully, because it would definitely cause an uproar in school if anyone finds or reads it accidentally.
For the entire day, she was in a daze as she counted down the hours. And as soon as she reached home, she hid the letter among all of the other humorous letters that she had hidden within her drawer.
She could not get over the name on the love letter, and it made her feel as if she had committed a crime.
After keeping it safe and calming herself, she took a quick shower to clean herself thoroughly. It was always a war zone for her whenever school ended because her endless admirers would often block her way and try to ask her out. She often had to run away and escape like a war deserter.
Fridays would usually be scarier than usual, as her admirers from everywhere would often gather in front of the school just to catch a view of her, and as usual, she had to squeeze through the massive crowd and finally arrived home thirty minutes later than usual.
Friday evenings were also the day Shen Rong would return home from University. He reached an hour earlier than usual today, and Mother Shen, who was preparing dinner for the family, beamed at him enthusiastically before telling him to call Gu MingYue down for dinner.
Shen Rong stood outside his stepsister’s room and knocked on her door with his usual tempo, but his knocks were unanswered, and without a second thought, he pushed her door open and let himself in.
He could hear water splashing within her toilet, and instantly realized that she was taking a shower. He considered leaving the room and returning later, but quickly decided against it and took a seat at her desk as he waited for her to be ready.
As a full-grown man in a teen girl’s room, he was bored as hell, but still, he did not feel like leaving her scented room. He glanced around her desk curiously as he compared her neatly arranged desk to his own. He somewhat recalled his high school female classmates being smitten over actors and idols, however from the looks of Gu MingYue’s room, it definitely did not seem like she was into those.
Shen Rong had always been strict with himself, and before today, never had he imagined that he would one day go through someone else’s belongings without the owner’s consent, but he could not control his curiosity towards her. Her table was way too clean and organized, filled with only stationeries and books. There were zero signs of any personal hobbies, nor things that interested her.
Finally, his fingers landed on the handle of the drawer, and slowly, he pulled it open…
This man has no respect for personal space smh!!
