The Vicious Scholarship Student at the Elite Academy Got What He Deserved - Chapter 2

The next day, I arrived at the equipment room early.

I had a compact stun baton in my pocket. Smugly, I hid in a dark corner and prepared to shock the man unconscious, then teach him a proper lesson.

I was picturing the pervert clutching his head and begging for mercy when I accidentally laughed out loud.

The next second, a pair of arms appeared around my waist and a warm body pressed against my back.

“What are you thinking about, baby? Are you happy to see your husband? Hmm?”

I nearly jumped out of my skin. The instant I recovered, I steadied myself, grabbed the stun baton, and swung it back at him.

Before it could touch him, he seized my wrist.

Pain shot through my hand. The baton slipped from my fingers and landed in his. He pressed it against my waist.

“So you came prepared.”

I was furious, but I did not dare move. I knew exactly how powerful the baton was. It could drop a grown alpha with ease, never mind a beta like me.

“I wasn’t going to use it on you. It’s for self-defense.”

The man chuckled behind me. His voice was so low and rough that I could not identify him at all.

“Is that so?”

“Then I suppose I misjudged you, baby.”

Despite his words, the hard object at my waist did not shift an inch.

I had a problem: whenever I got nervous, my eyes watered. I could not control it.

My voice trembled as I tried to sound helpless. “It’s true. Please take it away, okay?”

The boy rested his chin on my shoulder and replied lazily, “No. What if baby pulls out another one?”

I grew anxious. What had happened to trust between people?

“I really don’t have anything else.”

“Really?”

That was a lie.

I still had pepper spray.

I whipped it out and tried to spray him over my shoulder, but he anticipated me and caught my hand. That too was confiscated.

Now I truly had nothing left.

I broke down completely.

“Why are you like this? You keep stealing my things!”

He laughed in exasperation, then bit my cheek.

“If I didn’t, I’d already be dead. Does baby want to become a widower so young?”

A widower, my ass.

I shoved at him, but he would not budge. He was built like a mountain, all firm muscle. It felt annoyingly good beneath my hands.

I pinched him hard several times. Before my anger had faded, he pinned me down and pinched me back.

The equipment room was pitch-black. I could not see the person in front of me, only a vague outline.

He had to be at least six foot three.

About as tall as Yan Mingqing.

The thought of Yan Mingqing made me angry all over again.

“What will it take for you not to leak the video? Other than dating you.”

I spoke with absolute seriousness. “I don’t date. It interferes with my studies.”

The boy stopped biting my cheek. He took out a cool strip of fabric and tied it over my eyes, then bound my hands with something else.

Through gritted teeth, he said, “You don’t date? Then what was yesterday’s promise? Little liar. Are you going back on your word too?”

I was trapped again. Out of options, I put on my most aggrieved voice.

“I’ll give you anything you want.”

“I don’t want anything else. I only want you.”

He tilted up my chin and ordered coldly, “Open your mouth.”

I did not understand, but I obeyed.

The next moment, he caught my tongue between his lips.

The kiss was far too deep. I whimpered through my tears and tried to escape, but every direction only drove me farther into his arms.

The equipment room was soundproof. No one could save me.

Blindfolded and tied to a chair, I was left at his mercy—to kiss and toy with however he pleased.

…

By the time my senses returned, I was alone in the equipment room.

“Is someone in there?”

A knock sounded at the door.

Terrified, I struggled against the restraints around my wrists, but they would not come loose.

“Yes! Someone’s in here. I’ll open the door right away!” I shouted frantically.

No one could see me like this.

Yet the more I panicked, the tighter the bindings seemed to become.

The person outside apparently had not heard me. A key slid into the lock.

As the lock turned, my heart climbed into my throat.

The door opened fully, flooding the room with light.

“Huh? President, is someone inside?”

I lowered my head in terror, desperate to hide my disheveled state.

Then the door closed again.

“President, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing. I’ll get the equipment. You all go to the field.”

I knew that voice too well.

I raised my head and looked straight into Yan Mingqing’s beautiful eyes.

He wore a gentle smile. “You’re in quite a situation.”

Why did it have to be Yan Mingqing?

Inside, I screamed and cursed. On the surface, I looked pitiful.

“My friend and I were playing a game.”

Yan Mingqing paused, then walked over. Dropping to one knee, he untied the restraints behind me.

“Is that so?” he said softly. “That sort of game is dangerous. If no one had come, you might have been stuck here all night.”

Perhaps Yan Mingqing seemed too gentle just then. Or perhaps, after all that darkness, I desperately needed a ray of light.

I caught his wrist. “It wasn’t a game. I lied. Someone threatened me.”

Yan Mingqing paused, the corner of one eye lifting. “Really?”

I nodded, as though I had found my only lifeline.

He was the student council president. He had to be able to help.

I clutched his hand, my palm slick with sweat. Yan Mingqing was famously fastidious, yet he showed no disgust at all.

He watched me with warm, patient eyes and smiled for me to continue.

I opened my mouth, but the moment I remembered what the pervert was using to blackmail me, I could not bring myself to tell him.
