The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Luo Yao gave me a wicked smile, which sent chills down my spine.

"Not yet, it's just the beginning. I'm going to train my brother to be an obedient dog, so he can only stay by my side and can't sneak under other girls' skirts~"

"No, Luo Yao, they are really just my friends, not what you think."

Luo Yao snorted coldly and said, "Still denying it? That day at Starbucks, Brother Tusheng only cared about helping those vixens and didn't help me at all. I don't know how many sweet words Hua Xinning, that white lotus, has given you in all these years, making you so biased towards her and not help me!"

"No, I was playing a game at the time, and I only voted for you because I had no choice but to win..."

"I don't want to hear your explanation, I only believe what I see... Hmm... If we train you to be a good puppy, what if you still run away if we don't keep an eye on you..."

Luo Yao opened the small box she took out from under the bed—the same box full of murder weapons she had taken out when she drugged me in the car last time!

She took out a delicate hammer, looked at me with a smile, and said, "How about I break your kneecaps, Brother Tusheng? That way you won't run away and can stay in this house with me forever!"

I widened my eyes and hurriedly said, "Yaoyao, calm down. We can talk things over. If you're bored, you can call me anytime and I'll come over to keep you company."

Luo Yao squatted down in front of my legs and gently tapped my kneecap with a hammer. I was so scared that my body started to tremble. I was really afraid that if she hit me with the hammer, I would be paralyzed in a wheelchair for life.

"Don't worry, Brother Tusheng. I promise to take care of you for the rest of my life. You just need to listen to me and keep me in your heart."

"No, please don't! Even if you get my body by forcing yourself on me, you'll never get my heart!"

Luo Yao immediately felt wronged, holding back tears as she looked at me hoarsely, "Why, why! In what way am I inferior to those vixens? I was here first! I've liked you since I was little, but you've never treated me like a woman, always thinking I was a child. But now I'm an adult, I've grown up, I've become more womanly, why won't you be my boyfriend! Do you know how much effort I put into confessing to you in sixth grade? But in your eyes it was just a joke..."

If I had previously taken Luo Yao's words as a joke or a tease, her current hysteria made me realize that she was serious like never before, and that she had been serious for ten years...

Actually, I've always been somewhat evasive about my feelings for Luo Yao. This evasion has continued even now that we've met again. To some extent, I still see her as that little girl from back then. Eight years ago, I actually had some unspeakable feelings for that cute and clingy little girl. I've never dared to tell anyone, afraid of scaring others, and even more afraid that Luo Yao, who was only in sixth grade, would be scared away from me...

Although Luo Yao forced me to record her feelings for her when she was still in elementary school, that was coercion, and we both know it doesn't count. But it also shows that she doesn't think I'm a pervert who likes elementary school students, as I thought. So I can be honest with her about some things, both to give her an explanation and comfort her, and also to vent a secret I've kept bottled up for ten years.

"Actually, Yao Yao, there's something I've always been afraid to say, because I'm afraid you'll hate me..."

"How could I possibly hate Brother Tusheng?" Luo Yao said, wiping away the tears that welled up in her eyes.

"I……"

I didn't dare meet Luo Yao's gaze; I was a little nervous.

"Actually, back in high school, I had a crush on you when you were still in elementary school..."

"Really? Really?" Luo Yao couldn't hide her joy.

"Hmm...and..."

Next comes the hardest thing for me to say, a secret I've kept to myself for eight years. Every time I think about it, I feel inexplicably guilty. I have to tell the person involved today, otherwise I will live with this guilt for the rest of my life...

"And what?" Luo Yao eagerly climbed onto my lap, wanting to know the secret.

"When I was in my second year of high school, I once mistook you for... for... imagining you while touching you..."

I really can't go on, it's so fucking shameful!

Chapter 10, page 130: The Puppy and its Owner

When I said it, Luo Yao, who was sitting on my lap, was stunned at first and didn't understand what I meant. Then, after five seconds, her face turned red. Even Luo Yao was shy, which shows how much of a shock this secret had to her.

Luo Yao buried her face in my chest in embarrassment, hitting me while scolding, "I was so young back then, and Brother Tusheng was already fantasizing about me, how perverted..."

That's why I've never dared to say it...

"It's not entirely my fault. Who told you to be so beautiful back then, and to cling to me so unguardedly..."

"It turns out that my trusted brother Tusheng actually had malicious intentions towards me. I'm still scared when I think about it now."

But you sounded so excited...

Luo Yao suddenly looked at me and said, "Then do you think Hua Xinning was pretty back then?"

"Of course."

Without even a second thought, it's clear that Xin Ning was not only beautiful and cute, but also very well-behaved. She was practically every boy's ideal girl. I remember when Xin Ning was in elementary school, many boys would escort her home. They were just trying to woo Xin Ning, even though they were so young. But Hua Xin Ning didn't side with anyone and even asked me to drive them away.

"Hua Xinning was very attached to Tusheng back then, so doesn't that mean... ugh~ how weird, that's his own sister~"

"No way! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Yao was taken aback, then quickly turned cold and said, "Such a strong reaction, you didn't actually try it, did you? Hmm?"

I replied firmly, "Absolutely not, I'm not a sister-complex guy!"

"Hmph, that's obvious!"

Luo Yao pinched my cheek and muttered, "But that's true, she's not really your sister, so there's no question of you being a sister-complex..."

I looked at her in surprise. Did Luo Yao know that Xin Ning was adopted?

Luo Yao then said jealously, "Isn't that right? We're closer than girlfriends, not like sisters at all..."

I breathed a sigh of relief, but I was obviously overthinking it. How could anyone outside the family know besides a few relatives? Even Xin Ning herself was kept in the dark. We didn't tell her because we were afraid she would feel resentful. But looking back over the past ten years, it's clear that my parents favor Xin Ning more. They always give her the best things first, and Xin Ning will then share them with me. This may have subtly fostered the bond between us.

"Then Yao Yao, can you let me go now? I've said everything I need to say..." I said cautiously, looking at her face.

Luo Yao shook her head and said, "No, Brother Tusheng hasn't agreed to be my boyfriend yet. Tell me quickly, do you agree or not!"

Her hammer was placed right on my gold, which startled me.

"This, this can't be done casually, we don't have a strong emotional foundation..."

"Didn't you just say you were attracted to me?!"

"That was when we were kids. We've only just met again. It's too fast to say we've become boyfriend and girlfriend..."

Luo Yao smiled and said, "Then let's be officially boyfriend and girlfriend!"

"but……"

"Dare you say no and see what happens?"

I watched as she picked up a hammer and made a motion as if to strike O.G.G., and I swallowed hard in fear.

"Yaoyao, listen to me..."

"Aaaaaah, I don't want to hear it!"

Luo Yao covered her ears with both hands, but she still couldn't hold onto the hammer and it fell, causing me a sharp pain in my testicles...

There really is a reason...

"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen..."

Luo Yao kept talking like a turtle chanting sutras, leaving me feeling helpless for quite a while.

"Yaoyao, I'll just say one thing: if you think it's unreasonable, then do as you please."

Luo Yao finally stopped chanting the sutra.

“You’re an artist now, and your career is on the rise. If word gets out that you have a boyfriend, it will seriously affect your career. I believe you don’t want all the hard work you’ve put in to go to waste, right?”

Luo Yao frowned and said, "Then we don't have to make it official."

"You're thinking too simply. No secrets stay hidden forever. The truth will definitely be revealed one day. You should know better than me how powerful the paparazzi are."

Luo Yao wanted to say something but couldn't refute it; clearly, she didn't want her efforts to be in vain.

"What should we do then..." she said, feeling wronged.

Isn't the answer obvious?! But I dare not say, I'm afraid the chicken will be gone.

Luo Yao, still unwilling to give up, asked me, "Then, Brother Tusheng, tell me, do you like me or not?"

I nodded.

"Then do you want to be my boyfriend?" Luo Yao's delicate face drew closer to mine.

I turned my head slightly to avoid her gaze, unsure how to answer. Would you hesitate to date such a beautiful idol? Of course I was… very conflicted, just like when Lu Xiaojun confessed to me and I was afraid to give an answer. I suddenly realized how awful I was…

"Tell me!" Luo Yao said anxiously.

"Think about it..."

I finally gave an answer, an answer that was both truthful and insincere, a contradiction. Honestly, I do like Luo Yao, but it's hard for me to see her as a girlfriend. Maybe it's the pressure from her status, maybe it's because I've always considered her like a younger sister, or maybe it's because I've never actively pursued her and therefore don't have that feeling…

Upon hearing the long-awaited answer, Luo Yao happily showered me with kisses on the face, expressing her joy.

"Don't kiss Yao Yao anymore, the lipstick marks can't be wiped off..."

"Hehe, I'll lick them off for my apprentice brother~"

Just as I was about to refuse, I felt something soft brushing against my face. It was wet and warm, and gradually the soft thing moved to my neck.

"Brother Tusheng, um... is it comfortable?" Luo Yao stuck out her tongue and couldn't speak clearly.

"It feels so good, but it's so itchy... Yao Yao, stop it..."

Luo Yao obediently stopped. She seemed to have forgotten that she was supposed to train me to be a good puppy; she had just acted more like a dog licking its owner's boots...

Luo Yao took a tissue and wiped my drool. I took the opportunity to ask again, "Can you let me go now?"

Unexpectedly, Luo Yao still shook her head.

"Not yet, I still have things to interrogate Brother Tusheng."

"What else do you want to ask?"

Luo Yao leaned closer and whispered in my ear, "I want to know how Brother Tusheng imagined me back then."

Isn't she embarrassed at all to ask this question?

"Let's not ask anymore. I... I forgot..."

"You're lying! Your eyes were darting away!"

"I really forgot..."

It's too embarrassing to talk about!

It would be embarrassing for me to say this, and I'm sure Luo Yao wouldn't be able to handle it either.

Luo Yao snorted and said, "It seems that Brother Tusheng has forgotten his own predicament!"
