NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56: Being a Rascal is Risky, Be Cautious When Acting Like a Rogue
What should I do...
Maybe I should borrow some money... but who would lend me such a large amount?
On the way home.
Felicia was still worried about her father's situation.
As her thoughts wandered.
She couldn't help but think of Ye Li—her teacher... He seemed to be wealthy; even Stark had come to buy his paintings.
Among the people she knew, he seemed to be the only one who could and might help her...
Felicia pursed her lips.
Between her hollow pride and her father's reduced sentence, she quickly chose the latter.
But would he help me...
Our relationship hasn't reached that level, and so many girls like him...
Felicia hesitated and wandered near her house for a long time.
Finally.
She made up her mind—
Even if I have to use my body...
If it's him, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing...
Felicia took out her phone, ready to call Ye Li.
Just then—
"Oh~ my dear Felicia, I've finally caught up with you."
A sleazy voice came through.
The person was a high school boy. Judging by the brand of his clothes, his family seemed well-off.
"Ryan!"
Seeing who it was, Felicia's expression immediately turned icy. She coldly scolded, "Loitering near someone else's house and harassing them is illegal. If you don't want me to call the police, leave now!"
"Oh, look at that~"
The boy named Ryan wore an arrogant expression and laughed smugly. "The daughter of a thief talking about calling the police? How ironic~"
"You!"
Felicia gritted her teeth. "How do you know?"
"I just came here to see you, and it just so happened I caught your father being arrested~"
Ryan approached her with a lewd expression. "Why won't you accept my advances, Felicia?"
"Shut up! Stop calling my name!"
"Are you leaving or not?"
Felicia's patience had reached its limit.
Her gaze grew colder.
Paired with her snow-white hair, she looked as cold as ice itself.
Unapproachable.
Unlike the occasional charm she would show in front of someone she liked.
When facing someone like Ryan—a shameless pursuer—this was her usual attitude.
"You're really short on money right now, aren't you?"
Ryan wasn't deterred by Felicia's scolding. Feeling he had her at a disadvantage, he said, "You don't want your father to be bullied in prison, do you?"
"How about I lend you some money?"
"As long as you're willing to spend some time with me... hehe~"
"You—? Pfft~"
Hearing his intentions, Felicia couldn't help but laugh. Her fair and beautiful face softened.
"Sorry, Young Master Ryan. Even if I had to sell my body for money, I wouldn't choose you."
She restrained her anger and sneered disdainfully at Ryan. "I've already picked someone wealthy~
Even if I spent every day with him, doing whatever he wanted, I wouldn't spare you a glance!"
This time, Ryan was infuriated. "You're asking for it! Don't blame me for being rude!"
With that, he lunged at her!
It was obvious he intended to drag Felicia into the alley to assault her.
"Ryan, what are you doing!?"
Watching the sleazy boy rushing toward her.
Felicia's clear eyes rippled with unease. At this distance, she couldn't escape in time!
How dare he!
Just as Ryan was about to grab her—
Felicia suddenly recalled the combat techniques Ye Li had taught her, step by step.
In a moment of clarity.
It felt as though a pair of warm, strong hands was guiding her movements.
She stepped aside, dodging out of the way.
With just a small step to the side, Ryan's grab missed entirely.
He tried again, but she dodged once more.
This left him staring at his hands in confusion—was he getting weaker? He couldn't even grab a girl?
At that moment.
Felicia, having gathered her strength, kicked out—using precise force to send Ryan flying!
"Ah!"
Ryan screamed in pain as he crashed into a wall.
He felt intense pain on his face.
He touched his nose... it was covered in blood!
His nose had been smashed by a single kick!?
Since when was Felicia this strong?
As Ryan was about to get up, he suddenly felt someone grab his head and slam it forward!
Directly!
"Ah—! Ah—! Ah—!!"
Already with his nose broken, Ryan let out screams like a pig being slaughtered!
"With this level of skill, you dare act like a pervert? Little boy?"
Ye Li casually tossed him aside and then turned his gentle gaze to Felicia. "What do you think? Didn't I say that move was powerful?"
"Teacher!"
Felicia exclaimed in surprise and then threw herself into Ye Li's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Ye Li stroked her cold, exquisite face. "Call me Li."
"Li..."
Felicia bit her lip, her gaze complicated, and suddenly stood on tiptoe, offering her first kiss.
She had experienced too much shock today.
At this moment, it seemed like she wanted to release her emotions through this act.
Hmm...
Ye Li felt it—her emotions were indeed overwhelming. He decided to comfort her with his skillful techniques.
On the sparsely populated street, the handsome man and beautiful woman embraced and kissed, creating a romantic scene.
Except for the guy lying on the ground next to them, howling endlessly, ruining the atmosphere...
The kissing pair occasionally extended a leg to kick him.
