Alert Sound from the System

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's slightly provocative words, Li Mucheng quickly caught his drift. She took a small sip of coffee in front of him.

"So, Teacher, what you're implying is... if I were to terminate the agreement voluntarily..."

Li Mucheng suddenly stood up as she spoke, slowly walking behind Ye Feng. She placed a delicate hand on his shoulder, her graceful figure leaning down as she brought her lips close to his ear, exhaling warm breath.

"Does that mean you'd get to spend time alone with Yu Xin?"

"N-No way!"

Ye Feng outright denied it, tilting his head away from Li Mucheng's proximity. He turned to face her, his expression serious as he looked at her stiffened face.

"Mucheng, both you and Yu Xin are my students. How could I possibly..."

"My, my~ Teacher, you say 'Yu Xin' so sweetly~ Have you been calling her name like that when you're alone with her?"

Seeing the smirk on Li Mucheng's lips, Ye Feng couldn't shake the feeling that her smile carried a hint of something unsettling. At the same time, an alarm suddenly blared in his mind—something he had never experienced before.

What's going on? Why is the system alerting me? Is there some kind of danger?

Without wasting time to check the system, Ye Feng stood up and swiftly maneuvered around Li Mucheng.

Mistaking his tension for guilt, Li Mucheng assumed he was trying to escape. A cold snort escaped her as the last glimmer of hope in her eyes faded away.

Run, Teacher. In the end, I'll make sure you understand the consequences of betraying me. A disobedient teacher needs to be disciplined before realizing his mistakes.

But to her surprise, Ye Feng didn’t head for the door. Instead, he moved closer to her.

"Huh?"

Before she could react, Ye Feng suddenly scooped her up into his arms, startling her into instinctively wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Eh?!"

"Mucheng, don’t move!"

Ye Feng’s gaze fixed on the living room window, his brow furrowing. If there was any danger, it had to be coming from outside—yet he couldn’t pinpoint the threat. His only priority now was to get Li Mucheng to safety.

"T-Teacher...?"

Caught off guard by his sudden embrace, the icy resentment in Li Mucheng’s heart melted slightly, as if a strong hand had pulled her back from the brink of an abyss.

"No time to explain, Mucheng. I’ll tell you later."

Holding her tightly, Ye Feng rushed toward her bedroom, shielding her with his body as much as possible.

After a flurry of movement, he gently placed her on the edge of the bed before turning to lock the bedroom door and draw the curtains. The sudden actions made Li Mucheng realize something, her pale cheeks gradually flushing with color.

Teacher... is he... is he going to...?!

Why? Why so sudden?

Is this his way of calming me down? No way! The matter with Su Yuxin can’t just be brushed aside like this!

At least... at least twice... no, three times! Yes! Three times!

As the alarm in Ye Feng’s mind faded, the tension in his chest finally eased.

"Phew..."

He exhaled deeply and slumped into a chair. Just as he was about to explain, he noticed Li Mucheng staring at him with an odd expression.

At first, he thought his actions had frightened her—until she patted the space beside her, clearly signaling for him to sit there.

"It’s fine, Mucheng. I’ll stay here."

"Teacher, are you sure about the chair? I may not have experience, but I’ll agree to anything as long as you don’t mind."

She blinked rapidly, as if trying to mask her shyness. But deep down, she knew—hesitation led nowhere. She was determined to take the first step.

"What are you talking about, Mucheng? What does the chair have to do with anything?"

Confused, Ye Feng watched as Li Mucheng smoothed her skirt and began untying the strap on her shoulder. Realizing things were escalating, he swiftly grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Mucheng! What are you doing?!"

"Oh my~ I didn’t expect Teacher to be so eager. If you’re taking the lead, then I’ll just wait for your move~"

She smirked, her cold yet alluring expression sending a shiver down Ye Feng’s spine. But with sheer willpower, he pushed aside his stray thoughts and sat beside her.

"Mucheng, you’ve misunderstood. As your teacher, how could I ever do something like that? Don’t joke like this again, understand?"

"......"

Li Mucheng’s expression darkened instantly. Her hands clenched the bedsheet, her resentment reaching its peak.

"Teacher... do you think toying with me is fun?"

"Huh? I’m not toying with you. Just listen—"

"Enough! I don’t want to hear another word from you! I’ve had enough!"

Her sharp cry cut him off. She had no patience left for negotiations.

"Mucheng..."

Seeing her unstable emotions, Ye Feng’s chest tightened. After all, Li Mucheng was the first girl he’d met in this world—and in a way, he owed his life to her. Watching her like this pained him.

In that moment of hesitation, Li Mucheng suddenly lunged at him.

......

The sensation of her soft body crashing into him left Ye Feng frozen. Normally, he would’ve pushed her away—but an inexplicable sense of foreboding held him back.

Noticing his lack of resistance, Li Mucheng discreetly retracted the stun gun from her sleeve, closing her eyes as she savored his warmth.

"Mucheng."

"Mhm."

Hearing her calmer tone, Ye Feng finally spoke softly.

"Will you listen to my explanation now?"

"......"

After a pause, Li Mucheng nuzzled deeper into his chest, as if searching for comfort.

"Fine."
