Inside a spacious room at Shrek Academy, Liu Erlong had Yu Xiaogang cornered against a wall, her arms crossed. She looked like an angry leopard, and her voice was filled with twenty years of suppressed rage and hurt.
"Xiaogang, you've been avoiding me for over twenty years," she said, her voice strained. "Are you still going to avoid me now?".
Yu Xiaogang's face went stiff. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his palms pressed hard against the cold wall. He wanted to explain, but he honestly didn't know where to start.
For the past few days, Liu Erlong hadn't just been constantly coming into his room. She flat-out refused to leave, and she frequently brought up his past to question him. If it had happened just once or twice, Yu Xiaogang could have handled it, but it was happening too often now. He was completely miserable.
Things had gotten worse in the last few days because many of the teachers and students at the Academy had noticed their strange behavior. People often gave them weird looks in the corridors, on the playground, and even in the dining hall. Many rumors were circulating privately, and Yu Xiaogang grew more and more irritable.
However, Liu Erlong kept pressing him harder and harder, giving him no space to retreat.
"Erlong, please don't be like this, okay?" Yu Xiaogang's voice was hoarse. "I... I'm really afraid... afraid that one day I won't be able to control myself and will do something beastly to you. If that happens, it won't just ruin my life, it will also ruin yours and destroy the last bit of affection between us".
"I'm not afraid. I don't care! I care even less about what other people think!" she said.
Hearing his words, Liu Erlong's breathing quickened. Immediately after, she couldn't hold back the emotions she had suppressed for over two decades. She suddenly took a step forward, closing the distance between them.
"Xiaogang, whatever you want to do to me, then do it! Whether it's to humiliate me or to be a beast... I'm willing!".
A look of horror filled Yu Xiaogang's face. He frantically reached out to stop her, but the determined and passionate look in Liu Erlong's eyes made his heart tremble violently. In moments like this, memories buried deep in a person's mind often resurface.
Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment, suddenly recalling a scene from twenty years ago. That day had been his wedding day with Liu Erlong. It was a night when the starry sky was exceptionally bright. Flender had officiated their wedding. They had all drunk together, and Flender was just about to leave to start his own journey. Suddenly, several people led by Yu Luomian burst in. They told Yu Xiaogang that Liu Erlong was his illegitimate daughter.
This news was a complete shock to Yu Xiaogang at the time. In the end, he chose to run away, becoming an incompetent husband, and he left in secret. In Yu Xiaogang's mind, if there hadn't been so many complications, or if he hadn't known the truth, Liu Erlong would have been his that night. But now, everything had changed. If he continued to be with Liu Erlong, what would make him different from a beast?.
"Erlong, we can't do this. Please let go of me quickly," he begged.
As soon as Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Liu Erlong suddenly reached out and pushed him down beneath her.
"No, I won't let go, no matter what," she whispered softly in his ear. "Xiaogang, does being with me really cause you so much pain?".
Pinned beneath Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt a sense of shame and panic. He struggled desperately, constantly exerting force with his arms and body, but it was as if invisible shackles were firmly binding him, making him unable to move at all.
That powerful sense of suppression made Yu Xiaogang instantly realize that Liu Erlong's Spirit Power was dozens of levels higher than his own. With his strength, there was no chance of breaking free.
"Erlong, don't be like this," Yu Xiaogang said, trembling and suppressing the panic in his heart. "Flender and the others are still in the next room".
Liu Erlong's eyes were deep, and her tone was incredibly firm. "I'm not afraid. If they hear, they hear. Xiaogang, this time, no matter what you say, I won't let go of you again. Even if it's rape, I will get your body first".
"No, Erlong, listen to me," Yu Xiaogang said painfully. "Even if you get my body, you won't get my heart. We can't be like this... We are...".
Hearing this, the resentment and hatred that had built up in Liu Erlong's heart for years erupted all at once. Her voice was a roar, with a hint of almost pleading stubbornness.
"I don't care! Xiaogang, I've waited for you for over twenty years, from a young girl to an aging woman. Do you really want me to wait until my hair turns completely white? You... stop tormenting me, and stop tormenting yourself. Are other people's opinions really that important? I don't care, anyway. Since fate brought us together, then let yourself be completely free today!".
As she finished speaking, a hint of almost insane stubbornness flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Yu Xiaogang's collar.
Riiiip.
There was a crisp tearing sound. Yu Xiaogang's clothes were forcefully ripped apart, and a large area of his skin was exposed to the air. At this moment, the emotions that Liu Erlong had suppressed for years erupted like a volcano.
However, despite her fervent passion, she was still a virgin. She only had a vague idea of what happens between a man and a woman. When it came down to the actual act, aside from tearing off Yu Xiaogang's clothes, she honestly didn't know what to do.
The two of them just stared at each other, wide-eyed!
Just then, the door creaked open. Flender burst in, panting. Fine beads of sweat still covered his forehead, clearly showing he had rushed there. He was about to speak but instantly froze because of the sight before him.
Liu Erlong was disheveled. Yu Xiaogang was in a mess, pinned beneath her with his clothes half-torn. All of this was clearly visible to Flender.
"I...".
Flender's pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing hitched, and his entire face instantly turned red. He stood frozen for a full two seconds before reacting. He quickly turned around, his back to the two of them, and said with extreme panic in his voice, as if he'd been burned by boiling water:
"I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything at all?!".
Seeing Flender suddenly burst in, Liu Erlong's expression changed abruptly too. She immediately rolled over and quickly gathered her clothes. She then asked, sounding accusatory:
"Boss Flender! Why did you come in without knocking!".
"This... isn't this Xiaogang's room?" Flender was startled and still hadn't fully recovered from the previous scene. He said, sounding slightly speechless, "When we two big men usually go in and out, what's there to knock for?".
Hearing this, Liu Erlong was briefly stunned. The anger that had been building inside her was completely blocked by his simple question. For a moment, she couldn't speak, her face flushed. She opened her mouth to argue back but couldn't find any reason, so she could only turn her head away in frustration.
Seeing the extremely awkward atmosphere, Yu Xiaogang quickly spoke to break the deadlock. "Flender, you're so flustered, what exactly happened?".
Flender finally recovered his composure. His expression turned serious, and he spoke in a hurried and grave tone.
"Xiaogang, this is bad. People from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are here! The guards reported that they look aggressive, as if they've come to demand an explanation!".
Just as her long-awaited wish was about to be fulfilled, it was suddenly interrupted. Liu Erlong's anger almost exploded.
"People from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Coming to our Shrek Academy to demand an explanation? What exactly do they want to do? Damn it, I'm really going crazy!".
The next second, she suddenly stood up. Yu Xiaogang didn't even see her clearly as Liu Erlong had already put on her clothes and shot out, heading straight for the Academy gate.
