"Teacher Shen, I am Zhang Long, once your student, we can't do this..." I forcefully pulled her hands away from around my neck.
Although Shen Qingxue had been my dream lover, in countless dream-induced masturbations, I always fantasized about her as my object of desire. However, when she actually latched onto me, I still felt a bit nervous and disoriented.
Shen Qingxue's body was on fire with a burning heat that made her whole body hot and her face flushed red.
I couldn't tell whether Shen Qingxue had no impression of me at all, or if it was due to the drugs' effect, leaving her consciousness cloudy and making it hard for her to resist the desire that was surging from within her body.
She kept pleading with me, "I can't, I'm in so much pain, I need it now. Please help me, please..."
Seeing her like a wildfire burning inside, struggling to hold herself back, I felt my heart flutter slightly.
I even nurtured a dirty thought in my heart:
That's to possess her and conquer her immediately!
But I can't!
I cannot take advantage of someone in distress!
On the one hand, I am still a virgin and have no understanding of matters between men and women; on the other hand, Shen Qingxue was my Chinese language teacher in junior high school.
Moreover, after I bowed to the high monk in the temple as my master, the ancient saying "One day's master, lifelong father (mother)" has left a mark on my heart and deeply rooted in me.
How could I do something so despicable to Shen Qingxue?
Considering this——
My reason finally triumphed over emotion!
Seeing that she never woke up and was speaking incoherently, I struck her on the back of the head with a palm to knock her unconscious, then carried her into the bathroom.
Then, I turned on the tap on the sink.
The icy cold water burst out from the tap.
I gently placed her head under the water spray.
Shen Qingxue shook herself out of her daze and woke up.
Although I was rinsing her face with water, the force of the water soaked her hair and splashed on her blouse, drenching her whole body just like a drowned chicken.
Suddenly, Shen Qingxue remembered the scene where Zhao Liang drugged her and Ye Lingtian held her in his arms, and her heart tightened immediately as she screamed:
"Ye Lingtian, you...you beast! What are you doing? Let me go!"
"Teacher Shen, it's me!" I hurriedly placed her down from the sink and pulled out a stack of paper towels from the dispenser to wipe the water droplets off her face.
"Oh, it's you," Shen Qingxue looked at me in shock, "how did you get here?"
"Isn't it because you sent me a WeChat message saying that you were in danger, and asked me to come up and save you?" I smiled at her.
Shen Qingxue suddenly remembered Zhao Liang, Lin Jiaojiao, Ye Lingtian, and others. She panicked and asked:
"Where are those beasts that bullied me?"
"I proudly said, 'They were all beaten by me, you are now safe.' "
Shen Qingxue looked at me: "Are you Zhang Long?"
I nodded and said, "Teacher Shen, you finally recognized me."
Shen Qingxue said with a touch of emotion, "I never expected, just three and a half years have passed, you have grown so tall and strong..."
Suddenly, she remembered the scene when she accidentally reached out and hugged my neck on the long couch in the KTV room earlier. Her face flushed crimson all the way to her ears.
"I...what happened between us just now?" Shen Qingxue asked dejectedly.
"I explained, 'There was nothing between us. You were drugged by those scoundrels and almost molested by that guy with the last name Ye. After I drove them away, seeing you in a daze, I brought you here to wash your face.'"
"Thank you," Shen Qingxue said her thanks and suggested, "Zhang Long, I'm not feeling too good now. Can you accompany me to have a few drinks outside?"
"All right," I said without hesitation, "I've dampened your hair. It's easy to catch a cold if you go out like this. Do you need me to dry it for you?"
"It's okay," Shen Qingxue smiled seductively, "You go out first. I can clean up by myself!"
I walked out of the bathroom and sat down on the long couch in the VIP room.
In a matter of seconds, Shen Qingxue had finished tidying up her soaked hair, disheveled blouse, and hot pants.
Just as if nothing had happened, she walked out of the bathroom.
She walked over and sat beside me, asking me for my opinion:
"Zhang Long, do you want to change places to drink?"
I looked around the VIP room's furnishings and shook my head, "No, it's fine here."
Shen Qingxue asked with some concern, "What if those guys get some help and come back for revenge, and then they kidnap me again?"
I said with confidence, "It won't happen. You can put your heart at ease!"
"Why?" Shen Qingxue looked at me with anticipation.
"I explained, 'Because after they drugged you and tried to rape you, I gave them a good beating. Now they're not brave enough to come back. If they do, I'll make sure they can't get away with it!'"
Shen Qingxue showed a smile and said, "You are so powerful?"
I said with regret, "Just now, I knocked them to the ground. They begged for mercy on their knees in front of me, as pathetic as it gets. Too bad you were drugged and didn't see that!"
"You're just boasting!" Shen Qingxue spat out a tongue of fragrance at me.
I said honestly, "I'm not exaggerating. Otherwise, how would they all be gone?"
"Okay, I'll believe you. Let's drink!"
Shen Qingxue said this, putting aside the highball glass she had just used with Zhao Liang, Lin Jiaojiao, and Ye Lingtian, and picking up the glassware filled with alcohol on the coffee table to pour a nearly full glass into the other two highball glasses.
I pointed at the glassware she had just put down and asked, "Don't you worry that they might have put some drugs in this blended alcohol?"
"Is that possible?"
Shen Qingxue furrowed her brows tightly, feeling a realization akin to the old saying 'Once bitten by a snake, afraid of the rope in the well for ten years.'
"Let the waiter come and take everything off the table. We'll have a new set!" Although I may look simple and honest, my thoughts are quite meticulous.
This is related to the influence and cultivation I received from my master in the temple.
What if those guys tamper with the drinks and food, and after we eat them, we lose control and do something inappropriate? Then, it would be impossible to wash our reputations clean even if we jumped into the Yellow River!
Shen Qingxue asked with some regret, "Won't doing this be a waste?"
That night, in order to come here to discuss matters with Ye Lingtian, she had already spent tens of thousands of yuan on the drinks, fruit plates, and snacks on the coffee table.
If she called for another set, she would be quite strained financially.
I said lightly, "No problem, I'll pay for the rest of the expenses!"
Shen Qingxue asked in a surprised tone, "Zhang Long, how old are you? How do you have so much money to pay for everything? Where have you been these years? What have you done?"
This question really stumped me.
Could I tell her that I went to a temple to become a monk? Could I say that the money was given to me by the woman who was my father's mistress and claimed to be my stepmother when I was in college?
Thinking about this, I felt a sense of chaos and panic in my heart.
