Reincarnated as a Poor Little Green Tea, Am I Destined to Be Bullied? - Volume 1 Chapter 43

Chapter 43: That Promise

***

Lin Yueye was dumbfounded.

You say… you’ve fallen in love with me?

But aren’t we both girls?!

That doesn’t sound right… Times have changed, and there’s nothing wrong with it, but the problem is… this isn’t right, is it?!

Lin Yueye couldn’t see any love in her “hunter spotting a seven-colored deer” gaze, it was purely an almost perverted desire for possession and conquest.

At least, this wasn’t the kind of “love” Lin Yueye understood.

An instinctive self-preservation sense made Lin Yueye’s heel move back, touching the base of the sofa.

The space to retreat behind her was both vast and small.

Her keen mind told Lin Yueye that now, all she could do was to placate the other person first, not to use provocative language to anger her, otherwise, it would end up just like that time in the rental apartment.

Getting beaten up!

A “shy” smile appeared on little Yueye’s world-class beautiful face. She clasped her hands in front of her, putting on a delighted appearance, and spoke in a soft, coquettish voice.

“Oh… so that’s how Classmate Mujin feels… That’s wonderful, I never thought I could be liked… I feel so honored, um… thank you, then I’ll try my best to get along well with Classmate Mujin in the future… to deepen our relationship, okay?”

“Ha… Hasn’t Yueye already proven her effort with actions today? You said you’d come to my place… Do you know I was so excited I couldn’t sleep all night? I… This is the first time in my life I’ve been so moved by someone… I don’t even know what to do with myself… I even got up early to put on makeup so Yueye wouldn’t see my dark circles… Can you tell?”

If you didn’t want me to notice, why tell me?!

No, is it really necessary? I’m just a penniless wretch coming to your house, and you, a young lady, got so excited you couldn’t sleep?!

Lin Yueye was about to maintain her smile and nod in agreement with her words — when her silver hair suddenly bristled!

Because Xia Mujin, with a dreamy look in her eyes, finally raised both hands and placed them on Lin Yueye’s shoulders.

“Mu… Classmate Mujin?”

“Still adding the ‘classmate’ suffix… Yueye, that’s not good, you know? You’ve already made your choice… you’ve already agreed to our arrangement, at this point you can call me more intimately, can’t you? Come on… try calling my name…”

Fingers as smooth as white scallions, like playing a piano, lightly tapped on the girl’s shoulders, skipping along, sweeping past her neck and cheeks, finally landing in front of the girl’s moist lips.

“Come on… don’t be nervous.”

“Classmate Mujin…? But… but… I…”

“Come on.”

Hiss…!

Although there was no evidence, Lin Yueye seemed to see the growing impatience seeping into her eyes and brows.

Just like that time in the rental apartment, Xia Mujin didn’t seem to be guiding Lin Yueye to say anything.

It was more like the emotion of “my possession isn’t obeying, it needs to be punished.”

Lin Yueye now had only one principle.

She couldn’t give in here!

With trembling lips, even though she was unwilling in her heart, she could only part her cherry lips and speak the words Xia Mujin hoped to hear.

“Mu… Mujin…”

“Good girl, so obedient.”

“Ah?!”

Xia Mujin’s fingers had been resting on Yueye’s lips all along.

The moment she opened her mouth to speak, as if rewarding her, Xia Mujin slipped her slender fingers into those small lips, lightly touching the cherry-red tongue inside.

Lin Yueye opened her eyes wide in shock and retreated several steps, covering her mouth, simply unable to believe it!

Her gaze, filled with shame and anger, fixed tightly on Xia Mujin’s “gentle” smiling face, thinking this might give her some deterrence, make her stop her teasing.

However, this had the opposite effect.

Seeing that unyielding look in her eyes, Xia Mujin’s fingers began to tremble, her breathing noticeably quickening.

“Yes… that’s it… this is my Yueye… It’s perfect…”

“Huh?!”

Even Lin Yueye, who was anxious to protect herself, couldn’t help but let out a puzzled sound, but her every move seemed to be like a “strange drug” injected into Xia Mujin’s body, only making that sick girl more excited and trembling.

“Yueye, wait a moment… I… I’m going to find something nice, can you promise me… I’m really so happy.”

“Mujin.”

“Hmm…?”

Lin Yueye suddenly calmed down and called out to Xia Mujin, who was about to go fetch something unknown.

If it’s now.

This atmosphere.

Maybe, she could ask directly.

Little Yueye tried her best to suppress the fear on her face, replacing it with a “resigned” blush.

“Anyway… it’s already come to this, I’ve already come here… Now I want to hear you repeat it in your own words.”

“Hmm? What does Yueye mean?”

Eyes that needed no tears to evoke pity, like armor-piercing blades.

“That thing, our promise, at this time… I want… to hear you say it again with my own ears.”

“If Yueye wants to hear it, I can say it a thousand times, ten thousand times, it’s no problem…?”

Xia Mujin didn’t stop her steps.

Even though her elegant gait, trained since childhood, was now distorted due to excitement and weak legs, Xia Mujin still tried her best to maintain her composure in front of Lin Yueye, walking towards the edge of a row of obviously expensive cabinets, searching for something.

While searching, she didn’t forget to repeat word for word, clearly and distinctly, that “promise” she had once made, as per Lin Yueye’s request.

“I, Xia Mujin, am willing to provide all protection to Lin Yueye. I will let you move into the best house, I will give you endless money, I will make everyone who slanders you shut up, I will give you everything you hope for. Including dignity, including respect, as long as it’s within my power, no matter how difficult, I will spare no effort to help you, but at the same time…”

She seemed to have found what she was looking for.

Looking at her smiling profile, it was as radiant and innocent as a child who had found their favorite toy.

But is that really the case?

As Xia Mujin turned around, holding something that couldn’t be identified at first glance.

The second half of that “promise” was finally revealed.

“But in return… Yueye also needs to give me a little reward, you know. In front of others, you can have unlimited glory and dignity, but only when we’re alone… when no one else is around to disturb us… you need to put down everything of yours.”

Lin Yueye saw it clearly.

That thing in her hand, about as thick as her own neck, pink and ring-shaped with a rope attached…

— Wasn’t that a collar?!

At the same time, Xia Mujin’s sick smile had already bloomed like dazzling flowers, blossoming to the most intense and stunning moment of midsummer.

“When it’s just us… come be my ‘pet’, an obedient, well-behaved pet that does everything I say. Hmm… is Yueye satisfied? Do you want me to say it a few more times?”

“……”

Please don’t say it anymore…

My head feels like it’s about to explode.

Lin Yueye suddenly remembered what Yuebing had said before.

【In the past, Lin Yueye’s emotion towards Xia Mujin was fear, regarding Xia Mujin, she only wanted to run.】

Yes, she just wanted to run.

I understand now, but it seems a bit late.

I want to run now too, is it still possible?! I shouldn’t have ignored Teacher Luo’s advice, I shouldn’t have come!

Xia Mujin caressed the pink, spiky collar in her hand as if it were some treasure.

Her eyes grew increasingly wild with anticipation.

“This was prepared specially for Yueye, you know… To keep Father and Mother from finding out… I’ve hidden it for so long. They would never imagine that their well-mannered daughter actually has such a fetish… But, Yueye is the only one who can make me do such improper things, you know? So, it’s your fault too, for corrupting me.”

“This… Mujin, you need some space to calm down now… Can we talk about this again?”

“Ha, there’s no need to talk anymore.” Xia Mujin tilted her head and smiled, where would she have such idle thoughts. “After all… you’re already here.”

Wait… wait, I still have a chance…

Isn’t this the reception room? There must be surveillance cameras, she has to consider her parents, Xia Mujin wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.

No, that’s not right.

If this is the reception room…

If it’s hidden, why would you put this collar in the reception room?!

Xia Mujin gripped the collar tightly and stepped towards this side.

At the same time, she looked around at the magnificent architecture on all sides, and the second floor inner room that she knew Lin Yueye would be too nervous to set foot in or observe when she came here.

“There’s one more thing I lied to Yueye about, I’m sorry… This isn’t actually the reception room, but my private quarters in this villa.”
