America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 279 "A Bully at Home"

Li Xiaoen paused for a moment, checked the time, and realized it was only 8:30 pm, not time to rest yet.

Is it true that you're afraid to be alone in a room?

Recalling his experience of taking Amelia into those chaotic alleys during the day, Sean Lee thought to himself, closed his laptop, took it out, and knocked on Amelia's door.

The door didn't open immediately. After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiaoen tentatively pushed the door open and entered.

"Amelia, I'm coming in."

To prevent a repeat of yesterday's situation, Li Xiaoen entered the room while calling out to those inside. He could faintly smell the odor of alcohol, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Walking through the corridor, one can see all the spaces in the room at a glance, and the first thing that catches the eye is Amelia sitting on the bay window.

To his surprise, there were several empty cans of liquor scattered around Amelia's seat. She was drunk and staring blankly out the window.

This well-behaved student suddenly started drinking excessively; even a fool could guess what had happened to him.

Li Xiaoen raised an eyebrow, lifted his leg and walked towards the other person. As he passed by, he saw a lot of beer on the table next to him. He picked up a can, wet his hand with some of the water droplets hanging on the bottle, wiped it on the mouth, and then opened it and put it to his lips.

"Has something happened, beautiful lady?"

Taking a sip of ice-cold beer, Li Xiaoen took a deep breath, sat down on the bay window opposite the girl, and asked teasingly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a reproachful look from Amelia after she took a big gulp of her drink, which startled him.

"You can't possibly be drinking because of me, can you?"

Li Xiaoen shrugged.

"That's you!"

Amelia glared at her.

"..."

"Then tell me, what is it?"

Li Xiaoen nodded with a smile, showing great interest.

"Are you plotting something bad with Dia again?"

With a slight flush from being drunk, Amelia stared intently at the past.

"He's just a high school student, what are you thinking?"

"She's a high school student, and you're a freshman in college. That's not an excuse, is it?"

"Oh……"

Li Xiaoen suddenly realized, and leaned weakly against the wall, both amused and exasperated. "If you hadn't said anything, I would have forgotten. I'm only a freshman now."

"Don't change the subject!"

"Okay, let's not change the subject."

Li Xiaoen nodded helplessly, sat up straight, and looked at Amelia meaningfully. "Even if I really have some bad intentions, it doesn't seem to be your business, does it?"

Amelia rolled her eyes.

"I can't control what others do, but based on what I've seen, I definitely won't let any more innocent girls fall into your trap!"

"When it comes to naivety, who can compare to you?"

Li Xiaoen chuckled, "Amelia, I feel like you're quite concerned about my love life. Can you tell me why?"

Upon hearing this, Amelia fell completely silent.

"what happened?"

After scrutinizing the other person for a while, and still not receiving an answer, Li Xiaoen smiled and raised his chin, "Is it because... you like me?"

Didn't you say I was old-fashioned?

Amelia paused for a moment, then instead of answering, she grabbed a can of beer from beside her and tossed it at Sean Lee, saying, "Have a drink with me!"

"I have to work."

Setting the beer aside, Li Xiaoen replied helplessly. Seeing Amelia's aggrieved and conflicted expression, his heart skipped a beat.

"Go ahead and drink. If you drink, go to bed and sleep. I'll come over later."

After putting down his beer, Li Xiaoen got up and walked out of the room.

"Sean..."

Before he had taken more than a few steps, another urgent shout came from behind. Li Xiaoen turned around in surprise and saw that Amelia had already stood up from the bay window, her chest heaving and her breathing heavily.

"what happened?"

Li Xiaoen swallowed hard, something he had never done even when he was dealing with and fighting against several thugs during the day.

"Don't leave!"

With a shout, Amelia leaped from the bay window and pounced on him.

“Amelia…”

He quickly raised his hand to support the body hanging in front of him. Li Xiaoen exclaimed in surprise. The next moment, his mouth was covered, and he let out a muffled groan.

Amelia's kiss was awkward yet forceful, her soft lips, reeking of alcohol, pressing down on him from above. Her neck was also encircled and tightened by two arms, causing Sean Lee to involuntarily take a deep breath and frown uncomfortably.

"Amelia, you're drunk..."

Avoiding the girl's passionate kiss, Lee Shawn, panting heavily, turned around and placed her on the bed. To his surprise, Amelia not only did not let go of his neck, but instead pulled him onto the bed and sat on top of him.

"Humph……"

Looking down at the young man who usually wore a calm and collected smile, Amelia was now standing beneath her in a state of shock and stunned silence. She sneered, pulled off his shirt with both hands, revealing a body that shone white under the light, as white as ivory.

"I'm not drunk..."

She gave a soft hum and bent down.

A crazy night.

……

The next day.

He went to bed too early last night, and before dawn, Li Xiaoen woke up from his dream. He looked helplessly at Amelia, who was clinging to him like an octopus, unable to move her limbs. He only managed to confirm the time by looking at the clock in the hotel lobby through the [Eye of Insight].

Six o'clock in the morning.

what should we do?

Li Xiaoen's expression turned strange. For so long, his communication with Amelia had always been fraught with tension, and he was always scolded for his scumbag behavior. Now, she was actually putting herself in his place and risking her life?

Despite his thoughts, he still had some feelings for Amelia, which solidified his reputation as a scumbag.

Other things are secondary. The most important thing is how the two of them should deal with each other afterward. Should they act as if nothing happened, or should they maintain their relationship like this?
He couldn't understand it; he figured he had to leave the decision to Amelia herself.

Shaking his head, Li Xiaoen stopped thinking about it and stared blankly at the freshly painted white ceiling, taking a rare moment of mental blankness in the short morning and completely relaxing.

After an unknown amount of time, noticing something amiss in his arms, Li Xiaoen looked down and saw that Amelia was still fast asleep. He sighed helplessly.

"Okay, let's end it here."

With a sigh, Li Xiaoen easily pried Amelia's limbs off his body, sat up on the bed, and thoughtfully covered her with the blanket. "I'm going back. Let's pretend nothing happened last night." As he was about to get up, Li Xiaoen saw Amelia suddenly open her eyes and spring up from the bed, glaring at him with an angry yet clear gaze.

"You scumbag, what are you saying?!"

After she finished speaking, she noticed the young man's mischievous gaze. She paused for a moment, then silently lay back down on the bed, pulling the blankets over herself to hide her entire body.

"If you really pretend that what happened last night never happened, I'll expose your history as a scumbag and tell Suffer and Victoria and the other girls myself..."

After a long while, an indignant voice finally came from inside the blankets.

Upon hearing the two girls' names, Li Xiaoen slumped his shoulders and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

"Amelia, since you know about those two, why did you have to do what you did last night?"

Li Xiaoen took a deep breath, putting aside any teasing, and asked seriously, "The fact that you can say that means you understand that I can't bear to part with them..."

Only then, upon hearing the young man's earnest discussion, did Amelia tentatively pull down the blanket covering her, revealing her smooth forehead and two large brown eyes.

"Sean, do you think I'm a promiscuous woman?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoen was momentarily dazed, then recalled the girl's declaration while sitting on his lap last night, and shook his head helplessly.

"Amelia, you should know that I can't give you what you need."

Do you even know what I need?

Li Xiaoen: “???”

"Then what do you need?"

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but wonder. Based on his experience, there were a few dried and glaring plum blossoms on the bed at this moment. According to Amelia's extremely conservative and even old-fashioned personality, she had given her body away and didn't want anything else.
"You can't give it to me anyway, so there's no point in me asking, is there?"

Noticing the young man's surprised and puzzled gaze, Amelia couldn't help but feel a little resentful. She rolled her eyes and turned to look at the other side.

"Ok."

Li Xiaoen couldn't refute it, so he shrugged and stopped dwelling on it. "Are you hungry? I'll have the hotel send some breakfast over. Are you sober yet? Does your head hurt? Would you like some water?"

He drank on an empty stomach last night and was exhausted, so even now he feels thirsty and hungry.

He admitted that he was a scumbag. Given his current status and strength, he wanted to do his best to satisfy his partner in every way except for those things—of course, if he had the ability in the future, he would be happy to make up for it.

"Those are unnecessary."

Amelia shook her head, smiled slightly, and said, "Come here for a moment."

"Why can't you just say it directly?"

Li Xiaoen looked puzzled. Just as he frowned and bent over, two arms and two legs stretched out from under the covers and bound him tightly like an octopus, pulling him onto the bed.

“Amelia…”

Li Xiaoen exclaimed in surprise.

"You can't give me those things, but you have to give me these things."

Amelia flipped over and sat on the young man again, a triumphant and excited smile on her face as she looked down at him.

Her chest heaved violently. Last night's impulsive act had brought her the satisfaction she desired today. Unlike last night, when she was no longer in a daze and her senses were unclear, she couldn't help but feel excited.

As it turns out, even though she had been hiding under her conservative, loose coat, Amelia's figure was still curvaceous and shapely. Her slender waist was adorned with ample breasts, and her hourglass figure, which had already been admired the previous night, was now even more breathtaking when viewed from below.

In particular, the girl's usually abstinent and serious brown eyes were now brimming with spring fever and naked desire. This contrasting scene made Li Xiaoen tremble with excitement.

He took a deep breath, sat up in bed, and kissed those full, red lips, guiding them carefully. As Amelia became more familiar with them, she pulled away from Amelia's arms as they tightened around his neck.

"Sean?"

She first called out in confusion, then Amelia leaned forward, panting heavily as she searched for the young man's lips.

The love that had been hidden in her heart for so long could finally be expressed today; her eyes were watery and pitiful.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Li Xiaoen chuckled, leaned over the bedside table, retrieved the glasses Amelia had taken off the night before, and helped her put them in her eyes. "Put them on, and you'll see more clearly, won't you?"

"Is this what you wanted?"

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Amelia gave the young man a push, but made no move to take it down.

She first straightened her back, reached down, and then sat down again.

……

Another hour or so passed, and realizing that it was almost time to meet with Professor Phyllis and prepare for the return trip, the two hastily finished their business and went back to their rooms to wash up briefly.

"Hey……"

Professor Phyllis was still by Avika's side. In the restaurant downstairs in the hotel, he noticed that the two of them looked like they had just taken a shower and were still damp. He looked them up and down with amusement and asked, "Sean, Amelia, did you two do something just now?"

“Avika…”

Professor Phyllis rolled her eyes and tugged at her friend beside her.

"I...I'll go get some breakfast..."

A blush suddenly appeared on Amelia's pretty face. She hurriedly found a reason, nodded to the two of them, and immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the food pick-up area.

Why are you so reserved and shy around other people, but so bold and unrestrained around him?

Could it be that this American nerd girl is only a bully at home?

Lee Shawn glanced at Amelia, who was fleeing in disarray, shook his head helplessly, and sat down calmly opposite Professor Phyllis.

"Sean, you're quite composed; you must be very experienced, right?"

Professor Phyllis swirled his coffee with a spoon, looking over with a meaningful gaze, his expression a mixture of helplessness and relief.

"This is a matter of mutual consent between us, Professor Phyllis, so please don't worry."

Li Xiaoen picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said something that startled the two middle-aged women.

"Alright, Sean, you're so smart, I'm sure you won't let Amelia down."

Professor Phyllis opened his mouth, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out, and could only say this one sentence in the end.

"Do not worry."

Li Xiaoen looked relieved, casually picked up a piece of cake from the plate they had taken earlier, put it in her mouth, and nodded with a smile.

This scene stunned Avika.

"Sean, Dia said she's going to study in America for college and is coming to find you."

After a long while, Avika finally let out a sigh of relief, "It seems I have no choice but to persuade her to stop."

"If studying in the United States can provide access to better educational resources, then it's worth coming here."

Li Xiaoen smiled and said, "Of course, if you need me to come over for a meal or to help with something, I can make time for you."

These words displeased Avika, who was about to retort, but then realized what Li Xiaoen meant and silently held back, finally revealing a wistful smile.

"Sean, now I finally understand why you're so popular with girls."
