Chapter 279 : Madam, You’re Really Quite Naughty~
“By the way, Jiang Xue sure is taking her time with those groceries.”
Ling Ning sat on the edge of Chen Ruo’s bed, idly flipping through an action manga. Honestly, this type of manga didn’t interest her much; she’d rather read some steamy, R-rated manga to pick up some… inspiration.
But, since she was a guest in Chen Ruo’s house, she couldn’t exactly ask for something explicit, even if that was Chen Ruo’s usual line of work.
“Y-yes, she is taking a while.”
Chen Ruo replied stiffly. She was far too tense to think straight, only just realizing after they’d entered her bedroom that she had hidden “unspeakable” items under her blanket. With Ling Ning sitting on the edge of her bed, it would only take a tiny shift or a lie-down for her to discover them.
Why, oh why, had she invited Ling Ning to her room? Why hadn’t she just gone in and brought the manga out? Chen Ruo regretted it deeply.
“By the way, why don’t you draw more conventional manga, Chen Ruo?”
Ling Ning asked curiously. Given Chen Ruo’s skill, drawing regular manga should make her quite popular. She’d read most of Chen Ruo’s work, and the storytelling, plot hints, and pacing were all excellent.
“Because drawing normal manga doesn’t have any passion. It just doesn’t feel right.”
Chen Ruo replied, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. She had once tried drawing regular manga, but it just didn’t do anything for her. Although others had praised her work, she felt something was missing. In the end, drawing explicit manga was what got her heart racing. For standard content, doujinshi was enough.
“Madam, you’re really quite naughty~”
“Hmph! Don’t be fooled—I might draw explicit stuff, but I’m actually very pure!” Chen Ruo pouted indignantly.
Ling Ning chuckled, stretching lazily.
Chen Ruo’s gaze drifted, filled with envy, to Ling Ning’s curvaceous figure. Then, she looked down at herself. She was older, yet somehow, she’d never developed those… curves.
“Ah~ I’m exhausted.”
Ling Ning yawned and slowly leaned back onto the bed.
Seeing this, Chen Ruo tried to stop her, but it was too late.
As Ling Ning lay back, she felt something hard pressing against her back. Curious, she reached under the blanket and pulled out a blurred-out, rod-shaped object.
This “pixelated” object was something she was quite familiar with from her past life, often seen in those… less-than-wholesome movies.
“Wait! I can explain, Ling Ning!”
Chen Ruo stammered, eyes wide with panic as she looked at the item in Ling Ning’s hand. She couldn’t believe her luck today. Why was everything going so wrong?
Expressionless, Ling Ning gave the item a glance and then tossed it aside with a look of disdain. Judging by how it felt, the area under the blanket was probably filled with similar items. Why did every visit to Chen Ruo’s place end up being a surprise?
If she didn’t know these were used for “research,” she might genuinely think she was in a pervert’s house. But then again, was that really what these were for? After all, she had found them under the blanket…
Ling Ning felt like she might have uncovered something… scandalous.
Seeing Ling Ning’s dubious expression, Chen Ruo was almost in tears. She’d clearly been misunderstood.
Thud.
Just as Chen Ruo was about to offer an explanation, a pink item slipped out of her pocket and hit the floor. When it landed, it somehow switched on, and the pink object started vibrating on the floor.
The room went deathly silent.
Seeing Ling Ning huddle away toward the corner, Chen Ruo felt utterly defeated. “Please, listen to my explanation!”
But right now, her words felt weak, like those of a thief caught in the act. No matter how she tried to justify herself, it seemed useless.
Yet, Chen Ruo wasn’t someone who gave up so easily. She had to clarify that she was not, in fact, a pervert!
“Ah!”
Just as she moved toward the bed to explain, she slipped on something, lost her balance, and ended up falling onto Ling Ning.
“Um… I…”
Chen Ruo looked helplessly at Ling Ning, who was now pinned under her. This was the last thing she’d wanted to happen—how had things ended up like this?!
“If it’s you, Chen Ruo…”
Ling Ning muttered, giving her a defeated look. Of course, she was just pretending—she had planned this whole thing to mess with Chen Ruo, finding it too amusing to resist. But judging by how close Chen Ruo’s face was, maybe she’d taken things a bit too far?
One day, she might regret her teasing (for real this time).
Seeing Ling Ning’s subtle, teasing expression, Chen Ruo’s mind went blank. Her eyes lingered on Ling Ning’s lips, which looked so inviting, almost as if begging to be kissed. And those beautiful, alluring eyes… what would they look like filled with tears? Chen Ruo’s imagination began running wild, refusing to stop.
Seeing Chen Ruo’s face inching closer with that strange expression, Ling Ning began to sense that things were getting out of hand. Had she gone too far?

“I’m back with the groceries!”
Jiang Xue’s voice came from the entrance as she stepped in. After waiting a while with no response, she reached for the doorbell but noticed the door was already open—it must not have closed properly when she’d left.
Entering the quiet living room, she looked around. Just a moment ago, people had been here, so where had they all gone? After placing the groceries in the kitchen, Jiang Xue walked deeper into the house, noticing a door that was slightly ajar.
Instinctively, she pushed it open, only to be stunned by the scene before her. Her Teacher was lying on the bed with her Teacher on top of her, while a few indescribable items lay scattered around. Jiang Xue felt as though she’d stumbled upon something truly scandalous!
