A Year Later
A year and a half had passed since Xie Yue first arrived at Moon Pavilion. Now, he was 9 years old and had already broken through to level 20. He had completed his studies at Moon Pavilion a few months ago, but he stayed because of Tang Yuehua.
The full moon hung high in the sky, and a cool breeze blew through the open windows of the houses. The night was calm and peaceful.
On the fifth floor of Moon Pavilion, in the master bedroom, the cold wind drifted in through the windows. Two people lay asleep on a large bed—one boy and one woman.
The woman was dressed in an ash-colored, sleeveless nightgown. Whether she was wearing a bra or not remained uncertain. She was Tang Yuehua.
The boy was Xie Yue. He wasn't wearing anything on his upper body, only a pair of pants. His small body was already developing well-defined muscles.
He slept while hugging Tang Yuehua from behind, pulling her into his embrace with his legs draped over her hip. Tang Yuehua also slept peacefully.
However, as the wind blew through the room, Xie Yue shivered slightly and tightened his arms around her waist.
"Teacher~ I feel so cold," he murmured into Tang Yuehua's ear.
"Moon~ don't disturb my sleep. You can hug me all you want," Tang Yuehua mumbled impatiently, continuing to sleep.
"Oh~" Hearing her words, he pulled her even closer as if he wanted to merge with her. Hugging her like a koala, he rested his head against her back and fell asleep. Even though it felt a bit forceful to Tang Yuehua, she also felt warm.
The two slept like this for a while, but something still felt missing to Xie Yue. He decided to turn her around to face him. While hugging her, he used his arm strength to forcibly flip her over. Now, her braless chest was right in front of him.
"What are you doing, Moon? Didn't I tell you to stop this? You're already grown up. We have to stop sleeping together one day," Tang Yuehua said angrily.
But Xie Yue simply shrugged off her words.
"Teacher~ let's stop after one more week," Xie Yue said. He had been repeating this same excuse for almost three months now.
After sleeping with him for so long, Tang Yuehua began feeling that it was inappropriate for them to continue. Eventually, he would have to sleep separately when he grew older. So, three months ago, she told him to sleep in a separate bed.
But Xie Yue refused to listen. He was extremely persistent with her. He would say one thing and do another. His usual response was:
"How can this be, Teacher~? But if you insist... can I sleep with you just for today? I'm not used to it. I promise I won't come tomorrow."
He would always act cute while saying it.
Many "one more days" had passed, but each morning, he would come back with a new excuse:
"I'll stop sleeping with you starting tomorrow for sure. Just let me hug you today."
Tang Yuehua regretted ever allowing him to sleep with her in the first place. However, she also found comfort in his warmth.
But his actions grew bolder with time. Even when she scolded him, he would forcefully hug her to sleep. He had also started sleeping on her chest, sometimes even touching it with his hands. With her limited physical strength, she was unable to break free from his grip.
Like now, he had turned her over and was using her as his personal pillow.
Without paying attention to her scolding, he buried his face between her braless breasts and drifted off to sleep. Tang Yuehua felt completely helpless.
Sigh.
'He's leaving tomorrow anyway… Let him sleep comfortably. I'll miss him when he's gone,' she thought, allowing him to hold her as he pleased before falling asleep herself.
'Hehe.'
Seeing her accept his actions as always, Xie Yue smirked sinisterly.
Even though Tang Yuehua was emotionally strong, she was physically weak. She never should have allowed him into her room in the first place. Now, even if she wanted to kick him out, he wouldn't leave. And there was nothing she could do to stop him.
Would she ask for help? Heh, of course not.
Firstly, she was the one who had invited him to sleep with her in the beginning. Secondly, she was very fond of him. Thirdly, despite everything, he had never actually done anything inappropriate to her.
And fourth—and most importantly—she was a woman.
Even if Xie Yue ever tried something improper with her, she would never tell anyone. She feared that her reputation would be ruined.
After all, she still loved Tang Hao. How could she let him know about this?
Xie Yue wasn't worried about her at all. She was already on his "first to fuck" list. Even though Tang Yuehua held feelings for Tang Hao, her body was already used to Xie Yue's presence.
Once he left her tomorrow, every time she went to sleep, she would think of him more than Tang Hao.
And that was exactly what Xie Yue wanted.
Tang Yuehua might only see him as a child, but her body had already become accustomed to his warmth.
...
The Next Morning
"Teacher~ Moon will miss you," Xie Yue said as he hugged her, sobbing cutely. Even when crying, he still carried the elegant and noble aura he had developed after studying here for a year and a half.
"Mmm~ Teacher will miss you too, Moon~" Tang Yuehua kissed his forehead and cheeks repeatedly.
Even though Xie Yue had been forceful while sleeping, she was still very fond of him. She loved him like a younger brother. He was also the most talented student she had ever taught, and she was proud of him.
After all, who was the one who taught him?
"Don't cry, Moon~ You can visit Teacher whenever you want. No one will stop you," she said gently, handing him her token.
"Umm~ Moon will listen to Teacher. Take care of yourself while I'm away," Xie Yue said, tiptoeing to kiss her cheek sweetly.
"You too, take care of yourself, Moon, and cultivate well," Tang Yuehua replied, feeling warmth from his affectionate kiss. She truly felt blessed to have taught such an adorable and talented child.
After bidding farewell, Xie Yue left the pavilion.
Outside, several people were already waiting to pick him up.
