The Gradually Escalating Home Visit

"You're really wronging me..."

Luo Wei wore a helpless expression, feeling like he wanted to cry but had no tears left.

How could he have known that just as Helena was becoming more stable and everything was developing in a positive direction, Teacher Evelyn would show up at this critical moment!

Worried that all his efforts would be in vain, Luo Wei didn't hesitate. He directly grasped Helena's thin shoulders.

"Helena, listen to me explain. It's not what you think..."

Helena gently brushed off Luo Wei's hand. By now, her tentacles had already transformed back.

"No need to explain, brother," she said, gazing deeply into Luo Wei's eyes.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll know everything once we invite your Teacher Evelyn inside."

She spoke calmly, then walked to the door and turned the doorknob.

The door slowly opened.

Carrying a handbag and wearing a sun hat, the always elegant and proper Teacher Evelyn came face to face with Helena.

"Hello there, you must be Luo Wei's sister. I've heard the other students mention you."

Teacher Evelyn wore a kindly smile on her face. When she saw Luo Wei behind Helena, she waved warmly.

"Little Wei!"

She carefully examined Luo Wei's face, her gaze tinged with worry. "Are you sick again? You don't look well."

Luo Wei looked at her helplessly, thinking to himself that it would be strange if he did look well.

"So Teacher Evelyn is so young and beautiful!" Helena blinked her eyes and said playfully, "When I heard my brother talk about you, I thought you were already in your forties or fifties!"

"Hmm?" Evelyn frowned slightly, looking at Luo Wei with displeasure.

"I'm not that old! How did you introduce me to your sister, you rascal?"

She seemed a bit angry. After all, no woman likes being called old, even though Luo Wei had never actually said she was in her forties or fifties...

But at this moment, Evelyn, who had intended to scold Luo Wei, suddenly noticed him winking and gesturing at her frantically.

And he seemed to be mouthing words desperately.

Evelyn's frown deepened.

What was going on? It felt like Luo Wei was trying hard to tell her something.

How strange...

"Brother~"

It was as if Helena had eyes in the back of her head. She turned around and stared at Luo Wei with a cold smile.

"Do you have some secret you want to tell Teacher Evelyn?"

"No," Luo Wei said with a calm expression.

"Oh? Is that so?" Helena stared into Luo Wei's eyes, as if trying to see through to his inner thoughts.

"If you have something to say to the teacher..." Her smile grew colder. "Then let's invite the teacher in, and you two can sit in the living room and talk slowly."

As if putting on a new face, Helena turned back around and resumed her facade that could fool outsiders.

"Teacher Evelyn, please come in!" she said with a polite smile.

"Alright then, pardon the intrusion."

Evelyn was invited into the home by Helena.

The door slowly closed. Luo Wei secretly glanced at Evelyn, who was still unaware of the situation, and could only sigh in his heart.

He never imagined that Teacher Evelyn would be so concerned about him.

Even if he tried to make her run away now, it was already too late. Helena wouldn't let her leave easily.

He felt uneasy, not knowing what horrifying outcome this seemingly ordinary home visit would lead to...

"How is Little Wei's health? Oh, thank you..."

Sitting on the sofa, Evelyn gently accepted the cup of red tea that Helena handed her.

"His health..." Luo Wei shook his head and sighed, "It's not very good. I haven't been able to go to school for the past few days, Teacher Evelyn."

"Is that so..." Evelyn looked at Helena, somewhat confused.

"Why didn't you have your sister go to school to ask for leave for you? If you're marked as absent, it will affect your credits and delay your graduation."

"There really was no way, teacher..." Luo Wei smiled bitterly, but he was telling the truth. "The past couple of days I really couldn't leave the house."

"Was it that serious?" Evelyn frowned. "If that's the case, you might not be able to continue your normal studies. The school won't be so understanding forever."

"In that case, I just won't go to school anymore," Luo Wei said, looking at her with utmost seriousness.

"What?" Evelyn exclaimed in surprise. "But, but don't you love studying and look forward to school?"

"Teacher Evelyn," Luo Wei gazed at her. "I'm sorry, but I was lying to you before."

"Actually, I don't like studying at all."

"I want to tear up books when I see them, I want to blow up the school when I see it. If you make me stay in the classroom every day, I'll go crazy!"

"I hate going to school!"

"Luo Wei, you..." Evelyn's eyes widened.

"What do you mean by this?" She became angry, her pretty face flushing red.

She had even canceled a class and come all this way for this home visit, to check on a student she thought highly of, only to hear such words from Luo Wei's mouth...

How could he betray her expectations like this? This guy was really infuriating!

Seeing Teacher Evelyn's angry expression, Luo Wei silently apologized in his heart.

But on his face, he maintained the image of a disrespectful bad student.

"That's how it is, teacher. If there's nothing else, please leave."

"Goodbye, and hopefully we won't meet again!"

As he spoke, he stood up and looked towards the entrance, rudely acting as if he was chasing her out.

"Luo Wei!!" Evelyn stood up angrily.

"Brother~"

In the suddenly awkward living room, Helena's voice softly rang out.

She held Luo Wei's arm and made him sit back down on the sofa.

"How can you speak to your teacher like that? The teacher came all this way, working so hard just for your sake~"

Helena's gaze fixed on Luo Wei, who had stopped talking, and she smiled with narrowed eyes.

Her deep blue eyes gradually darkened, as if seeing through his thoughts.

Luo Wei's heart tightened.

"Teacher Evelyn..." He immediately wanted to say something more.

But Helena didn't give him the chance.

Though her body was small and thin, her strength was surprisingly powerful. She pressed Luo Wei firmly onto the sofa, immobilizing him.

Helena's gaze became even more dangerous, a cold chill enveloping Luo Wei.

He opened and closed his mouth, but finally sighed in helpless resignation.

Forget it...

He finally gave up any attempt to save the situation.

Helena turned to Evelyn on the other side of the sofa, showing a serene smile.

"Teacher Evelyn, please don't be angry."

Seeing that the teacup was empty, she thoughtfully refilled it with red tea.

Evelyn had her arms crossed and was no longer in any mood to drink tea.

"My brother isn't usually like this," Helena explained. "It might be because he's sick that his temperament has suddenly changed..."

"Please don't take what he just said to heart. It's not what he truly wanted to say."

"Is that so?" Evelyn glanced at Luo Wei.

Luo Wei stared at her wordlessly.

Evelyn gave a self-mocking smile. "But from how he looked earlier, it didn't seem like he was lying. I'm afraid that was his true feelings coming out."

"Sigh..." She sighed deeply. "I thought I had found another good student..."

Evelyn's gaze was full of disappointment.

"It seems Teacher Evelyn really likes my brother..." Helena said quietly.

Evelyn didn't understand the meaning behind her words and just snorted, "It was a waste of the teacher's affection. It turns out everything he said that day was a lie. I misjudged him."

"You two siblings can talk amongst yourselves. I have matters to attend to at school, so I won't disturb you further."

As she spoke, Evelyn immediately stood up, looking like she didn't want to stay any longer.

But unexpectedly, Helena blocked her way.

"You..." Evelyn frowned, not knowing what she was trying to do.

Helena's smile deepened. "I told you, my brother actually loves studying very much, and he likes Teacher Evelyn very much too."

"So..." Helena said with a smile, "Since my brother likes you so much, and Teacher Evelyn likes my brother so much, why doesn't Teacher Evelyn just stay~"

"Stay?" Evelyn looked at the girl in front of her with a strange expression. "What do you mean stay? I should stay?"

"That's right~" Helena giggled.

"Teacher Evelyn, stay here forever!"

"What are you saying?" Evelyn's expression grew increasingly strange, and she even suspected that Luo Wei's sister standing before her might also be suffering from some illness.

Perhaps a mental disorder.

The smile on the young girl's face was extremely eerie and bizarre.

It sent chills down one's spine...

Evelyn instinctively took a step back, her keen senses detecting something amiss.

The atmosphere in the house had felt very odd from the beginning, perhaps due to the strange dynamic between the siblings, or maybe it was that faint sense of coldness...

Suddenly, she belatedly realized the message Luo Wei had been desperately trying to convey to her at the start.

It was...

Run!!!

Evelyn's face showed an expression of horror as she violently shoved past Helena who was blocking her path.

She ran desperately towards the entrance.

However.

She had barely taken a few steps when, with a thunderous crash, her entire body collapsed to the ground.

Behind her, only Helena's mocking laughter remained.

"Finally got rid of that wicked woman who wanted to steal my brother..."

"Hee hee hee..."

Luo Wei gazed at Teacher Evelyn lying on the floor, her fate unknown.

It must have been the cup of red tea earlier, Helena had added poison to it...

Not leaving a single suspicious trace...

She had been prepared to kill Teacher Evelyn from the very beginning.

Luo Wei's heart turned ice cold.

At this moment, Helena turned around.

Her entire body was now shaking uncontrollably, a sign of extreme excitement and exhilaration.

The smile on her lips grew increasingly maniacal.

"Now, it's your turn, brother~"

Her arms transformed into tentacles spreading out in all directions, emitting a strong wave of mental contamination.

"Are you going to kill me?" Luo Wei asked calmly.

"Brother doesn't seem scared at all, does he?" Helena tilted her head, asking curiously.

"Maybe I'm just used to dying," Luo Wei leaned back on the sofa, struggling to find a more comfortable position.

"Brother is saying those strange things again..."

"I'm telling the truth," Luo Wei looked at her and smiled.

Helena's tentacles reached out, wrapping around Luo Wei's neck.

The sharp spikes slowly emerging from the tips of the tentacles seemed capable of easily piercing through Luo Wei's neck in an instant, killing him.

Luo Wei calmly gazed at her.

She didn't make a move either.

"Brother was willing to stay at home with Helena..."

"Helena was very happy..."

"But... Brother's nature hasn't changed one bit, still so flirtatious..."

"Hmph, the moment I take my eyes off Brother, he goes flirting with other women."

"That stupid teacher, hehe! I knew she had designs on Brother! I wasn't wrong after all!"

"Brother lied to me again~"

Helena slowly approached Luo Wei on the sofa, her smile becoming more inscrutable.

"Well then, next, I'm going to have to thoroughly reform Brother~"

"Brother should take a little nap first~"

As his vision went black, Luo Wei fainted on the sofa.
