Free Web NovelChapter 148: Chapter 148: Teacher and the Shameless Student
Yue Yue’s eyes burned with fury.
"Teach you?" she snapped. "Fine! I’ll teach you properly."
Before Xing Luoye could react, she grabbed the front of his collar and yanked him down to her height. The sudden, bold movement caught him completely off guard.
"First lesson," she said, pointing a finger right at his nose, her eyes blazing. "You do not kidnap someone’s female. That is the most disgusting act. That is called being a shameless rogue."
Xing Luoye blinked. No one had ever dared to talk to him like that.
"And second," she continued, poking his chest hard with every word, "you do not laugh at another male’s suffering. Especially when it involves his partner. That is low. Very low."
Poke.
"Third, you do not trap people on spaceships and then flirt like you are some romantic hero."
Poke.
"You are not a hero. You are a villain with bad manners."
Xing Luoye stared at her, stunned into silence. The small female in front of him was fuming like an angry little storm, bossy and domineering, scolding him as if he were an unruly cub.
"And fourth," she added, crossing her arms and lifting her chin proudly, "if you want to learn manners, then you start by apologizing to me. Properly."
The room went quiet.
For a moment, he just looked at her. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes bright, her small frame trembling with righteous anger. She looked fierce, stubborn, and strangely adorable at the same time.
Then, to her surprise, his lips slowly curved upward. It was not the usual sinister smirk or dangerous teasing. But a genuine smile.
It was soft, amused, and almost helpless, as if he had just witnessed something unexpectedly delightful.
"You really are something else," he murmured.
[Ding!]

Yue Yue’s eyes lit up. It actually worked! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
She quickly glanced at his face again. He was still smiling at her, but this time there was no mockery on his face.
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
Xing Luoye’s genuine smile had not faded. Instead, it slowly turned into something more mischievous, more dangerous.
He leaned closer to her, his cyan eyes glinting.
"I think," he said slowly, "you have very good qualities to become a teacher."
Yue Yue narrowed her eyes. "What are you plotting now?"
He tilted his head slightly, studying her face. "So why don’t you take me as your student?"
Before she could respond, his lips curved into a wicked grin. He lowered his voice to a whisper near her ear.
"Then we can start a special kind of lesson. A forbidden romance between teacher and student."
Yue Yue’s face instantly flushed. "Y-You!"
But before she could finish, Xing Luoye suddenly leaned back. His body dropped onto the couch behind him, and because she was still gripping his collar, she stumbled forward with him.
Thump.
He landed on the soft cushions, and she ended up straddling his waist, her hands still pressed against his chest.
For a brief moment, both of them froze.
Then Xing Luoye looked up at her with a lazy, amused expression.
"Like this," he said softly, one brow raised, "you can teach me everything."
His voice turned smooth and teasing.
"I’m a very obedient student. Even if you beat me, I’ll accept it all."
Yue Yue’s face turned bright red. "Who would beat their student like that? Stop talking nonsense!"
"So you did agree to take me as your student?"
But Xing Luoye only chuckled, clearly enjoying her flustered expression. His hands rested casually at his sides, as if he truly were a harmless, obedient student waiting for his teacher’s next lesson.
The system notification quietly flickered in the corner of her vision.
[Current Favorability: +6%]
Yue Yue bit her lip, trying to look stern, but her heart was beating much faster than before.
Yue Yue’s expression stiffened as she stared down at him.
In her mind, she was already cursing.
Damn this masochist. Does he actually like it when someone scolds him?
She huffed and slapped his chest away, trying to push herself back. The moment her palm made contact with his firm muscles, her eyes widened slightly.
Fucking hell. Why is it so hard?
The solid feel of his chest made her hand sting faintly. His muscles barely moved under her slap, as if she had hit a stone wall. Even a female like her felt a bit shy in front of such a perfectly sculpted chest.
Her expression turned colorful, shifting between embarrassment, annoyance, and disbelief.
But what shocked her even more was the system’s voice that suddenly chimed in her mind.
[Ding! Favorability increased by 1%.]
Yue Yue froze.
What?
Her eye twitched.
If I slap him a hundred times, will his favorability reach a hundred?
The system fell silent.
For a moment, there was no response at all.
[Host, the system does not have any data to process this situation.]
Even the system sounded stunned.
Meanwhile, Xing Luoye was quietly watching her. His gaze, which had been filled with teasing amusement, slowly began to change.
He looked at her small hand resting on his chest, then at her face, which was shifting through a range of emotions like a vivid painting.
Something inside his chest stirred.
It was subtle, unfamiliar, and strange.
For as long as he could remember, his heart had always been cold in front of females. No matter how beautiful, gentle, or seductive they were, he felt nothing but indifference.
To him, females were the most dangerous and selfish creatures in the world.
He might be a rogue, a villain in the eyes of many, but when it came to females, his heart had always been frozen. Even if he acted completely different in reality, it was a way to save himself.
The females were never interested in the males that chased them, and he, Xing Luoye, had mastered this technique.
Yet now...
As he looked at the small, furious, unpredictable female sitting on top of him, scolding him without fear, slapping his chest, and even plotting strange things in her mind...
His cold heart stirred for the first time.
