The boy immediately let go and gestured for the steel tube chair to proceed.

The girl took a deep breath, staring at the wall with a tense expression. She sat down with a forced feeling, still holding her shoulder bag on her shoulder and gripping the strap, as if she was ready to leave at any moment.

"Teacher Shen, I knew you wouldn't really be so heartless as to break us up. Tell me, what clever idea have you come up with to play this trick on me this time?" The boy shook his head and sighed with a relaxed air, as if he wasn't the one who had just been so distraught.

"Nobody here is here to play with you!" The girl was even more annoyed and glared at him fiercely.

"No, it's about making up for our relationship. Anyway, please go on, Teacher Shen." The boy adopted an attentive listening posture.

The club activity room fell into a brief silence.

"Teacher Shen, did the computer crash?" The boy observed the aloof girl who had suddenly stopped moving.

Shen Xi took a deep breath, frowned, turned her face away, and stared at the wall with a flickering gaze, as if she were having a fierce internal struggle.

Then, she parted her stubborn pink lips slightly and said in a cold voice without any emotion, "Listen carefully, first of all, you are now Nagasaki Asuna's boyfriend, and that fact cannot be changed. I have no hope for your future either. Anyway, who knows what unforeseen circumstances might arise next time. Based on this, I will never do those ambiguous and stupid things with you again."

As she spoke, the girl's face held a deep resentment, a resentment that seemed to be directed both at her former self and at the boy she was now.

"I understand. No matter what unforeseen circumstances arise, the current situation is unacceptable for Teacher Shen, and I feel deeply sorry for her as well." The boy immediately nodded with a heavy heart.

"It's good that you're aware of this; I don't need to waste my breath." The girl glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, her icy face making it impossible to guess her thoughts, her tone unchanged, "Although it's now completely impossible for us to have any further relationship, but..."

She paused, her expression revealing a complex and indescribable feeling.

"But?" the boy asked cautiously.

"But it's also true that you sacrificed yourself to save me. Based on basic moral principles, I will respond to you in the same way no matter what." The girl's expression and tone suggested that she was making some kind of major sacrifice.

"You're not going to say something like, 'You owe me your life and I can't repay you except by holding hands and hugging you, or by being your slave,' or something like that?" The boy hesitated.

The girl glanced at him with a subtle sense of unease, then raised her chin toward the wall. "First of all, our original master-servant relationship is dissolved. You no longer need to bear those obligations to serve me."

"Huh?" The boy was stunned.

"What's the problem?" The girl tilted her head.

"Actually, I don't think this is a big deal. Why don't you just forget about it and respond to me in other ways instead?" the boy said seriously.

The girl stared down at him with a condescending gaze, her eyes narrowed, and a palpable look of disgust appeared on her face.

"Just kidding, Teacher Shen, please continue." The boy lowered his head honestly.

The girl closed her eyes and took several deep breaths, as if trying to restrain herself. She opened her eyes and continued, "Secondly, I had originally considered responding to you in a practical way, helping you with various things to repay your life-saving grace without going too far. That would be a reasonable way to settle things."

"I don't really need Teacher Shen's help with ordinary things," the boy muttered.

The girl ignored him and continued, "But I gave up on it later because I guessed you would think it was unnecessary, and there would be no point in serving you tea and water every day."

"As expected of my teacher, Mr. Shen, he really understands me." The boy nodded in satisfaction.

The girl tilted her head to look at him, paused, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Anyway, I know your true nature all too well now. What you want most is nothing more than for me to satisfy your filthy desires that can't be seen in the light of day."

The boy met her gaze. "But now Teacher Shen won't even hold hands or hug?"

"It's that I don't want to." The girl turned her face away, her voice cold and unwavering. "But it's also true that you want it and that I owe you my life."

"What exactly do you mean?" the boy asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Since our respective ideas have become an irreconcilable contradiction, then so be it." The girl's expression grew increasingly solemn, as if she were about to announce some important matter.

"What kind?"

"..." The girl's eyes flickered rapidly, and she opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"Teacher Shen, the volume is too low," the boy reminded her at the right moment.

The girl gripped the shoulder bag strap with a slight tightening of her small hands, her brows furrowed, and she bit her lip, her face showing extreme reluctance and difficulty. She slowly uttered a few words, "You forced me to do all of this."

"Huh?" The boy didn't understand for a moment.

"As Nagasaki Asuna's beloved boyfriend, you clearly have a girlfriend who is obedient and envied by everyone, the school beauty of Sakura Academy, yet you shamelessly stare at me all day long, your heart filled with filthy fantasies about me that cannot be revealed in the light of day. You are simply a beast that makes people nauseous." The girl's small face showed deep contempt, she covered her chest with her hands and shivered, looking like an innocent girl who had seen the boy's true colors.

The boy hesitated, then asked, "Teacher Shen, do kids like you who are usually so quiet and withdrawn have such a strong inner monologue and a great desire to perform?"

"Fine, I won't talk about it anymore." The girl's face instantly turned cold, and she lowered her eyes as if to get up.

"You're wrong, please continue." The boy raised his hand to block her path.

The girl's small hand gripping the shoulder bag strap trembled slightly before she sat down again, swallowed, and continued, "Make it clear that I don't want to be touched and groped by you all the time like before, doing those disgusting things that make me want to vomit."

"There's really no need to emphasize it anymore. I know that Teacher Shen is so pure and innocent that she'd love to fly to another planet right now to distance herself from me and prove her innocence." The boy nodded repeatedly.

The girl stared intently at him.

"Please continue." The boy quickly straightened up and bowed his head.

The girl took a deep breath, her face contorting with struggle. "But no matter what, I owe you my life. You insist on using this to blackmail me, forcing me to go against my conscience and meet your despicable demands. If I refuse, I will become a despicable person like you—untrustworthy, heartless, and treacherous."

The boy stared at the ceiling and thought seriously for a moment, "Leaving aside the authenticity of that string of comments, when exactly did I blackmail you?"

The girl tilted her head, looking down at him with a gaze as calm yet chilling as the endless ice field of Antarctica.

The boy zipped up his mouth.

The girl lowered her head, her smooth sideburns covering half her face, her tone filled with reluctance, "So I have no choice but to do as you ask, even though I know you are already Nagasaki Asuna's boyfriend and will never be able to make me any promises in the future. I still have to endure cooperating with you in private, tolerating your endless physical and mental abuse all day long, to understand that all of this is caused by your demands. If word gets out and people find out, it will be because you are greedy and lustful, and it has nothing to do with me. I am just a victim responding to you."

After he finished speaking, a long silence fell over the room.

The boy looked at the girl who was tightly gripping the strap of her shoulder bag, turned her head to stare at her spotless black uniform shoes, and looked at her with a gaze that resembled that of a sad and desperate girl. She covered her face with her hands and rubbed it hard.

The girl's gaze shifted, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye before looking away again. Her stubborn, pink lips remained tightly closed, her expression unchanged.

"Teacher Shen, may I ask a question?" The boy interlaced his fingers, as if he were at a negotiating table, pondering the complex terms of an agreement.

"What?" The girl tilted her head slightly.

"So, in principle, because of Nana, you will refuse to hold my hand or hug me from now on, but because you owe me a life, you are still willing to break your principles to repay me if I ask?" The boy gestured with his hands in front of him.

“I didn’t want to, but you forced me.” The girl turned her face away, her trembling eyes seeming to be in real agony. “As Nagasaki Asuna’s beloved boyfriend, you left her and came to me, forcing me to do those unethical things with you.”

The boy seemed to have heard something absurd. He remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh, "Teacher Shen, just how twisted are you?"

"You're the pervert. You already have a girlfriend, the most beautiful girl in Sakura High School, who's obedient to everyone and admires you. You know it's impossible, but you still relentlessly pursue me." The girl's tone was firm and deliberate.

"Teacher Shen, you seem to have a lot on your mind, but let me state first that no matter what others think, in my eyes you are the cutest girl in the multiverse, and of course, the number one in Yinghua." The boy said sincerely.

"Ha, fine, then publish this opinion now." The girl remained unmoved.

The boy opened his mouth, "Little cutie, why are you so concerned about what other people think now?"

"Am I the one who cares about what others think, or is it that someone with a new girlfriend is just shamelessly sweet-talking me, his ex-ex-girlfriend?" The girl stared at the corner of the wall and continued, enunciating each word clearly.

She really cares, she cares a lot.

The boy was acutely aware of this.

"Alright, let's put that aside for now. Let's just say I blackmailed Teacher Shen, and Teacher Shen was forced to respond to me." The boy gave up on his question. "Then I have another question."

"What?" The girl glanced at him, her face expressionless.

"Does this mean I can force Teacher Shen to meet my demands whenever I want?" The boy was getting restless.

“No, not anytime. Make sure I only do it when no one's watching.” She paused, then turned her face away. “I'm forced to listen to you.”

"So it's possible every day, as long as it's not in front of other people." The boy understood, then thought for a moment, "How will Teacher Shen fulfill my request? Anything I want?"

"There's a limit to dreams. Since we can't be together, I can't shamelessly and without any bottom line cooperate with someone who already has a girlfriend." The girl said the last few words slowly and deliberately.

As soon as they finished speaking, their eyes met briefly.

The boy barely managed to suppress his urge to complain, slapping his palm with the back of his hand, "Teacher Shen, if I understand correctly, after all this talk, you're not only going to continue dating me like before, but you've also changed it from once a week to every day as long as we avoid being seen by others?"

"That's absurd. Nobody here would go on a date with someone who already has a girlfriend. Even if I did something with you every day, it would be because you used any means necessary to coerce me by exploiting my conscience." The girl quickly covered her chest with her hands and glared at him.

The boy looked at her, speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere in the club activity room froze briefly.

The girl turned her face away, her eyes flickered, and she swallowed hard. "So we can begin."

"Start what?" the boy asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Start now while no one's around, force me to do what you want." The girl's voice was cold and filled with hatred. "Anyway, after so many days without touching me, you must have accumulated countless filthy desires for me in your mind."

The boy hesitated for a moment, "Really?"

"Anyway, you sacrificed yourself to save my life. What can I do if you insist on forcing me? I can only listen to you." The girl turned her face away and stared at the wall, clutching her shoulder bag with both hands, seemingly unwilling and helpless.

The boy tried to reach out and brush aside her smooth hair, feeling the familiar touch. He sighed helplessly, "Shen Xi, what are you being cute about all day long?"

"..." The girl's gaze met his and then looked away, like a small animal cornered against a wall, her delicate and pretty face tense, her expression carrying a last bit of stubbornness.

"In that case, I need you to turn around and look at me now," the boy said after a moment's thought.

The girl remained motionless at first, then slowly turned her head expressionlessly, her gaze meeting his. Her pure, ink-black eyes blinked, and the faint light trembling deep within her pupils seemed to contain unspeakable emotions.

"So where have you been these past two days, little cutie?" The boy leaned closer to her, placing his palm on her frail shoulder.

"I refuse to answer." The girl instinctively turned her face away, but then seemed to realize the boy's request, turned back to stare at him, and said in a muffled voice, "This is my own business, and it's beyond my control."

"Are you really not going to move back in the future?" The boy observed the cold little face so close to his.

"I don't know how to move back. I've figured out that Nagasaki Asuna is your girlfriend. I'm not shameless enough to live with her as her ex-girlfriend. Of course, I can only stay away and live on my own." The girl's tone became even more unhappy, and she emphasized certain words.

"Shen Xi, I'm really impressed by you." The boy couldn't help but chuckle and pulled the girl's slender body into his arms.

She didn't resist, letting the boy press her head into his arms, her small hands still gripping the strap of her shoulder bag.

"Now I want you to hug me, my little cutie," the boy whispered the order.

"You disgusting trash, you have a girlfriend, yet you make other girls do this kind of thing." The girl's voice trembled slightly as she reluctantly released her shoulder bag, slowly climbed her hands up his back, and then hugged him tightly.

The atmosphere in the club activity room became quiet. As the autumn breeze blew in through the open window, the two people sitting on the steel pipe chairs and embracing each other seemed the same as before, yet something seemed to have quietly changed.

1027. In short, Shen Xi was forced into it.

Cheng Fei held the slender body in his arms tightly, smelling the familiar faint fragrance from her thick hair. He tightened his arms, as if trying to melt the girl into his embrace.

Sensing all this, the aloof girl buried her face in his chest, her small hands on his back tightening slightly as if in response.

The club activity room remained quiet for a while.

"How disgusting, haven't you hugged me enough?" Shen Xi took a deep breath, her slightly trembling voice filled with undisguised disgust, and muffled due to her face being buried. "You clearly have a girlfriend, yet you're forcing other girls to do this kind of thing with you. Shameless, vulgar."

The boy seemed not to hear her, gently stroking the back of her head. "So you just hid away and sulked for a few days, and then came up with this roundabout way to achieve your goal?"

"Nonsense! First of all, no one here has been hiding for days. You're the one who suddenly went insane and has been acting abnormally for several days. Secondly, the idea of ​​taking a roundabout approach is absurd. I've already made it very clear. I'm only doing this to appease you. If you dare to slander me again, I'll really get angry!" The girl twisted her body with a symbolic force, emphasizing her tone.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault for leaving Teacher Shen alone. Teacher Shen has worked hard these past few days." The boy continued to rub her head.

The girl remained silent, but after a moment, her body, nestled in his arms, began to tremble slightly.

The boy noticed this, hesitated for a moment, then pressed her shoulders and pushed her away to check on her. "My little cutie isn't crying, is she?"

"How strange, no one here cries!" The girl suddenly raised her voice, turned her face away and blinked hard. Her stubborn pink lips were tightly closed. Only by careful observation could one notice that her eyes had subtly turned red. Her pure, dark eyes trembled, becoming more tender and moving than ever before.

"Shen Xi, I love you." The boy leaned closer to her, gazing at the delicate, beautiful face that now appeared before him.

"I've already told you I won't be fooled by those tricks again!" The girl gritted her teeth, her gaze fixed on the wall, trembling even more violently.

"Does that mean you won't believe anything I say from now on?" The boy peeked into her field of vision.

The girl paused for a second, then said, "I will make my own judgment."

"How do you determine that?" the boy asked curiously.

"There's no need to explain to you." The girl glared at him, and because they were so close, her warm breath brushed against the boy's face.

"Okay, then, Ms. Shen, do you think what I just said was true or false?" The boy leaned even closer, his forehead touching hers.

“I have no obligation to explain!” The girl stared back defiantly at him.

"Don't get excited. Even if I ask, it's not allowed?" the boy asked curiously.

"No, this is my own business and has nothing to do with you." The girl's tone was stubborn.

"Okay." The boy thought for a moment, "Then can I ask Teacher Shen to kiss me?"

"Don't dream. No one here would be shameless enough to kiss someone who has a girlfriend." The girl suddenly became wary, covered her mouth, and stepped back. "I've set my limits. I won't let you do whatever you want."

"He kissed me on his own initiative that day, so he's not going to turn his back on me, is he?" The boy smacked his lips, unsurprised.
