The Playful Little Devil

"Mmmph... mnn..."

Su Yuxin let out muffled sounds as Ye Feng covered her mouth, seemingly trying to say something. Realizing his actions might have been impolite, Ye Feng made a shushing gesture while whispering,

"Yuxin, please don’t make any weird noises, okay? I’ll let go now."

"Mmm."

Su Yuxin nodded in understanding, signaling she got the message.

"Alright."

Once they reached an agreement, Ye Feng removed his hand. But the moment he did, Su Yuxin immediately blurted out, "Brother Ye Feng, are you kidnapping me again? This time, let’s go somewhere far away! You can do whatever you want with—mmph!"

Clearly, Ye Feng had to silence her again. Instead of toning it down, Su Yuxin’s words had escalated. If he didn’t stop her now, he’d face the "righteous judgment" of others.

"Yuxin, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll get angry! Don’t you know some jokes go too far? They can lead to serious consequences."

"Mmm... I’m sorry, Brother Ye Feng..."

Su Yuxin tried her best to convey her apology through muffled sounds.

"Alright, hurry back to class! We’ve already wasted enough time with this."

Letting go, Ye Feng quickly led Su Yuxin toward her home.

"Phew..."

Once they arrived, Ye Feng finally relaxed. As Su Yuxin kicked off her little leather boots, revealing white lace-trimmed ankle socks, he swiftly averted his gaze.

"Brother Ye Feng, please change your shoes~"

Su Yuxin had already prepared a pair of slippers, neatly placed before him. Her tone was sweet and obedient—a stark contrast to her mischievous behavior outside.

"No need to be so formal, Yuxin. But thanks anyway."

"How can I not be? Brother Ye Feng is the most honored guest in our home. As the lady of the house, of course I must treat you well~"

"That’s... thoughtful of you."

"Come on, Brother Ye Feng, let’s start the lesson! I can’t wait to learn something new. Didn’t you say you’d test me? Please do! I want to prove how hard I’ve been studying!"

"Yuxin, slow down. Let’s take things one step at a time..."

"No time to explain! Brother Ye Feng, let’s go!"

Before he could react, Su Yuxin grabbed his hand and practically dragged him upstairs like an untamed wild horse.

Click.

The bedroom door swung open, releasing a familiar strawberry scent—sweet and vibrant, just like Su Yuxin herself.

"Huh?"

Once inside, Ye Feng’s attention was drawn to a strawberry plushie on her desk. He didn’t recall seeing it during his last visit. Had it really been that long? But something about the plushie felt... off. As if it was watching him.

"Brother Ye Feng?"

"Ah!"

Snapped out of his thoughts, he quickly dismissed the strange feeling.

"Why are you spacing out as soon as you come in? Did you see something?"

Su Yuxin tilted her head, feigning innocence, though she already had an inkling.

Strange... Why did Brother Ye Feng focus on the strawberry plushie right away? Does he know something?

No... Don’t panic, Yuxin. Maybe it’s just a coincidence. Stay calm!

Regaining her composure, she pressed, "Brother Ye Feng?"

"Ah, sorry, Yuxin. Just lost in thought for a second. Let’s start the lesson."

Ye Feng took a seat beside her and began the day’s teaching.

"It’s been a while since our last session. Are there any topics you’re rusty on? We can review them now."

"Rusty topics..."

Su Yuxin pretended to ponder. Truthfully, she had mastered everything long ago—this was just her way of maintaining their bond.

With a hesitant nod, she played along.

"W-Well... okay. But Brother Ye Feng, no super hard questions!"

"Don’t worry, these are all from last time. If you ace them, it means you’re improving fast. Your parents would be thrilled."

"Y-Yeah! So I have to pass your test!"

"Confidence is key to success. Seems like you’re pretty sure of yourself."

Soon, Ye Feng placed the prepared test on her desk.

"U-Um! Brother Ye Feng!"

Just as he was about to start the timer, Su Yuxin interrupted.

"What is it, Yuxin?"

"It’s just... well..."

She fidgeted before mustering the courage to ask.

"If I get everything right... can you grant me one tiny request?"

Ye Feng paused, studying her sparkling emerald-green eyes. After a moment, he nodded.

Probably just asking for strawberry cake or snacks. She loves those.

"Yay! This is a promise between us, okay? No backing out!"

Without another word, Su Yuxin snatched up her pen and began writing, her strokes smooth and confident—as if she’d known he’d agree all along.

Scratch scratch scratch.

Ye Feng watched, a flicker of unease in his chest. But he brushed it off.

...It’s just a small request. What’s the worst that could happen?

Besides, what bad intentions could a cute girl like Yuxin possibly have?
