"Teacher!"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Su Yu's face instantly flushed red as if warmed by steam.
Bibi Dong chuckled softly at the sight and gently tapped his nose with her fingertip, which carried a cool touch:
"I was just sighing with emotion, child. Why are you blushing?"
Su Yu grew even more embarrassed, lowering his head and not daring to look at her, though the tips of his ears turned bright red.
Seeing him like this, Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled with deeper amusement. She raised her hand and gently patted his head, her movements carrying a hint of affection.
"Alright, you've worked hard tonight too."
She changed the subject, her tone laced with a mix of sincerity and playful testing.
"Do you want to rest with your teacher tonight?"
"Teacher! Really? Is that okay?"
Su Yu abruptly lifted his head, his eyes shining like scattered starlight, fixed intently on Bibi Dong before him, full of anticipation.
"No, you little pervert."
Seeing his eagerness, Bibi Dong couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.
Then she extended a finger and lightly tapped his forehead—not hard, but clearly teasing.
"You little pervert, you're all grown up now. You can't cling to your teacher and sleep together like you did when you were little."
Bibi Dong's voice carried a touch of reproach, yet it hid a subtle softness.
"Then... alright."
Su Yu's voice dropped, tinged with obvious disappointment. He turned and silently headed toward the door.
His back slightly slumped, his steps slow and dragging, like a puppy neglected by its owner, exuding a helpless loneliness that tugged at one's heartstrings.
Sitting by the bed, Bibi Dong watched his demeanor and suddenly felt her heart soften.
She sighed softly, muttering to herself: This little pervert, he always knows how to play me with this trick.
Fine, fine.
As she watched Su Yu about to step out of the room, she raised her voice:
"Come back."
Su Yu's footsteps halted abruptly, as if paused, then he slowly turned around.
His eyes still held traces of lingering disappointment, yet they faintly gleamed with a sliver of hope as he looked at Bibi Dong:
"Teacher?"
Bibi Dong patted the spot beside her, a faint smile playing on her lips:
"Come here. Seeing how pitiful you look, I'll make an exception just for tonight."
Su Yu's eyes instantly lit up, the earlier disappointment vanishing completely. He hurried back to the bedside in a few quick steps.
His movements were as light and cheerful as a kitten being stroked, obediently sitting down beside her, unable to hide the joy on his face.
Su Yu naturally reached out and gently wrapped his arms around Bibi Dong's waist, nestling his head affectionately against her side, his voice carrying a hint of coquettishness:
"Teacher is the best!"
Bibi Dong stiffened slightly at his sudden closeness, then shook her head helplessly.
She raised her hand and gently patted his back, her tone indulgent:
"You! Ever since you were little, you've known exactly how to exploit your teacher's weaknesses."
Her delicate fragrance, mingled with a faint scent of incense, wafted around Su Yu's nose.
Bibi Dong didn't push him away, simply letting him lean against her, her fingertips occasionally brushing through his hair.
After a moment, she lightly coughed and patted his arm.
"Alright, it's getting late. Time to rest."
Su Yu nuzzled her shoulder: "Okay!"
Bibi Dong looked helplessly at his clinging behavior, but ultimately said nothing more.
When they lay down on the bed, Su Yu still hadn't let go, his arms wrapped around her waist.
His head rested lightly against the crook of her neck, like a young animal seeking shelter.
"Goodnight, Teacher."
His voice carried heavy drowsiness, his warm breath gently brushing against her skin.
Bibi Dong's body stiffened for a moment before gradually relaxing. She raised her hand to gently cover his arms encircling her waist, her fingertips able to feel his warmth.
"Goodnight," she responded softly, her voice as light as a falling feather.
Su Yu seemed to fall asleep quickly, his breathing gradually becoming even.
But Bibi Dong lay with her eyes open, staring at the tassels on the canopy, the faint scent of soap from him lingering at the tip of her nose, while complex, indescribable emotions welled up in her heart.
She slightly moved her fingers, but ultimately maintained her original position, allowing him to lean against her.
In the quiet night, listening to the steady breathing of the young man beside her, she gradually closed her eyes.
Early the next morning, Bibi Dong woke up early. Looking at the still sleeping young man beside her, her eyes were full of tenderness.
She reached out to gently remove the strands of hair falling on the young man's face. As if feeling the ticklish sensation on his cheek, he lightly nuzzled against the side of her chest.
A faint blush rose on Bibi Dong's face as she gently pinched his cheek.
"You little rascal, even in sleep you're not well-behaved! But I have to admit, this little rascal is quite handsome!"
After saying this, Bibi Dong suddenly froze.
This little rascal had grown up; he was no longer the child who used to act spoiled in her embrace.
She hadn't noticed it before, but now it struck her clearly.
She gently removed Su Yu's arm from her waist and quietly made her way to the Papal Hall.
Sitting in the Pope's chair, Bibi Dong began to ponder what kind of emotions she truly held for Su Yu.
After much reflection, she discovered a feeling she had been hiding from herself.
Her hands clenched the arms of the papal chair tightly. How could she be like that beast, developing feelings for her own disciple?
This was impossible! She wasn't a monster like Qian Xunji!
Her feelings for Su Yu were merely those of a teacher, at most she saw him as her own child!
Meanwhile, Su Yu woke from his sleep. Reaching out to feel the space beside him, he found it empty!
Rubbing his eyes, he looked at Bibi Dong's side of the bed, long gone cold.
"Looks like Teacher is already up. She wakes so early!"
Just as Su Yu sat up from the bed, Bibi Dong walked into the room wearing sleepwear.
"Teacher!"
"Xiao Yu, you're awake. Since you're up, you should go back. I need to change clothes for court assembly!"
"Yes, Teacher!"
Su Yu put on his clothes and walked out of the room. Watching his retreating figure, Bibi Dong collapsed weakly onto the bed.
How could she become the kind of person she despised most? How could she develop feelings for her own disciple!
At that moment, the voice of the Rakshasa God sounded in Bibi Dong's ears:
"Bibi Dong, what is there to hate? He was raised by you, he should belong to you. Don't suppress yourself!"
"Shut up! I won't be a beast like Qian Xunji. Xiao Yu is my disciple! Our relationship will never change!"
"Haha, Bibi Dong, you still enjoy deceiving yourself. Good luck to you!"
After saying this, accompanied by roaring laughter, the voice of the Rakshasa God faded from Bibi Dong's ears.
Bibi Dong, you truly continue to surprise me. Let this god see how long you can endure!
