After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 150

Chapter 150: The Two-Faced Counselor

TL: YYang

“Swoosh!”

Li Xiao suddenly pulled the living room curtains completely open, and strong sunlight immediately flooded the room.

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Counselor, it’s very hot like this. You don’t want your student to memorize texts in such a harsh environment, do you?”

With her sister not in the living room, Li Xiao felt a sense of security this way. She replied, “I’ll go get a fan.”

Shen Yuan was a little helpless. It seemed Li Xiao was still very wary of him, but he had really only come to memorize texts this time.

Li Xiao brought out a floor fan, set it to level 2, and aimed it at Shen Yuan, letting it blow “whoosh whoosh.” Then she asked, “I have several human resources textbooks here. Which one do you want to study?”

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host plans to start studying Human Resource Management.]

[To manage a company well, one must master high-level management skills, stimulate employee enthusiasm, promote the establishment of corporate systems…]

[The Host has taken the initiative to improve his own abilities, successfully triggering the Human Resource Management panel.]

[Time-limited Quest: Within one month, if the Host masters the important knowledge points of “Human Resource Management,” the system will embed all the knowledge of Renmin University’s MHRM into the Host’s mind.]

The system was the same as always. As long as he made the move to study, the quest and rewards would be triggered.

Shen Yuan had done his homework before coming. MHRM was the abbreviation for Master of Human Resource Management, and Renmin University’s MHRM was arguably one of the best in the country, with very high value.

Shen Yuan replied, “The textbook for ‘Human Resource Management.’ You should have it, right?”

“Yes.”

Li Xiao walked into her bedroom and, after a moment, came out with a textbook. She then sat on the sofa and began marking the important knowledge points with a pen.

Li Xiao was very focused. She wore her silver-framed glasses, held the book, and occasionally circled something in the textbook.

From Shen Yuan’s perspective, Teacher Li Xiao was not only dignified and beautiful but also exuded the aura of a high-level intellectual at this moment.

He shifted to sit a little closer to her, and a faint, pleasant scent immediately wafted into his nostrils.

It was said that a woman’s body scent was related to her hormone secretion. Combined with the smell of her shower gel and shampoo, it formed a unique scent on a woman.

Different women had different body scents, and Shen Yuan had a deep understanding of this.

Shen Yuan leaned his head over, wanting to get closer to Li Xiao and also to preview the marked key points, but his gaze was drawn to the pair of towering pagodas.

‘Damn it, this thing is disturbing my Dao heart.’

Suddenly, Li Xiao put down the book and hooked her arm around Shen Yuan’s neck.

??

‘Was the counselor just pretending?’

Before Shen Yuan could properly feel the warmth in his arms, her pink, tender lips immediately pressed against his.

“Mmm…”

Li Xiao hooked her arm around Shen Yuan’s neck and began to take what she wanted greedily.

In fact, when she had initially asked Li Meng to stay in the living room, it was not only to guard against Shen Yuan but also because she was worried about her own impulsive, sensual actions.

There was some truth to the idea that a man and a woman shouldn’t be alone in a room together. Just now, when Shen Yuan had moved closer, she had felt both worried and a little expectant.

But after waiting for a minute or two, Shen Yuan was almost touching her but still hadn’t made a move. Li Xiao was getting a little impatient.

Then, Shen Yuan stretched his head out again, and the warm breath he exhaled brushed against her neck. She finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

This was the first time Shen Yuan had seen the counselor be so proactive. He suddenly had the urge to tease her and pushed her away, saying:

“Counselor, I’m here to study. What are you doing?”

“?”

Li Xiao looked at the serious-faced Shen Yuan, a big question mark appearing in her mind.

After a second of silence, Li Xiao realized Shen Yuan didn’t seem to be joking. A wave of shame and anger surged through her, and she stood up to leave.

Shen Yuan hadn’t expected Li Xiao to be so easily teased. He quickly grabbed her. “Counselor, I was just kidding.”

Li Xiao turned her head away without speaking. Her face was like a ripe mountain persimmon, and at the same time, she felt a sense of indignation from being teased.

“Alright, alright, it was just a joke.”

Shen Yuan stood up, held her in his arms, and gently patted her back to soothe her.

“Who wants to joke with you like that?”

Li Xiao lifted her pretty face, tears welling up in her eyes.

Shen Yuan felt a little apologetic and said gently, “How about I let you kiss me again as an apology?”

“Hmph, I’m never kissing you again.”

Li Xiao also threw a little tantrum.

Shen Yuan didn’t take it seriously and held Teacher Li’s face to begin casting his spell.

Only when Li Xiao was almost out of breath did Shen Yuan let her go and went to pull the living room curtains shut.

In broad daylight, who knew if some pervert was peeping with binoculars?

With that, the light in the living room immediately dimmed, and the atmosphere became even more ambiguous. Li Xiao’s face flushed red as she said, “Shen Yuan… why don’t we start memorizing the book?”

Shen Yuan let out a “hehe.” He thought, ‘You get me all fired up, satisfy yourself, and then you want to study?’

Shen Yuan was no obedient student. Of course, he had to collect some interest. He took Li Xiao’s hand and sat her down on the sofa.

“Of course we have to study, but to study with focus, one must have no distracting thoughts beforehand, right?”

“Mmm… what are you trying to do?”

Li Xiao felt a faint sense of unease.

Shen Yuan deliberately had Li Xiao sit in front of him. This position was more conducive to him controlling the situation.

This old hunter wasn’t in a hurry. He first blew in her ear and said, “Teacher Li, you dressed like this today on purpose, didn’t you?”

Li Xiao felt a ticklish, numb sensation in her ear, as if an electric current was spreading through her body. Her body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, wanting to distance herself from the person behind her.

At the same time, hearing this form of address, she felt a sense of shame and bit her lip. “When we’re alone, can you not call me Teacher Li?”

Shen Yuan replied softly, “Okay, Counselor.”

Feeling the warm breath by her ear, Li Xiao buried her head even lower. “You can’t call me Counselor either…”

Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word. If he didn’t call her teacher or counselor, half the fun would be gone.

Then, his hand started from her waist and slowly moved upwards…

Little did they know, Li Meng had already opened her bedroom door a crack and was secretly watching their every move.

Since the sofa was facing away from the bedroom door, Li Xiao and Shen Yuan couldn’t see her at all.

Li Meng sat on the floor, watching the two of them through the crack, her face flushed red.

Her sister was flawless in both figure and looks, while Shen Yuan was handsome with a well-proportioned body.

Thinking of this, Li Meng’s gaze gradually became hazy…

In the living room, Shen Yuan had wanted to carry Li Xiao into the bedroom for further action, but Li Xiao shook her head shyly. “Shen Yuan, not yet.”

“Can you give me some more time to prepare?”

Shen Yuan’s head was throbbing. How could a man hold back at a time like this?

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, then finally bit her pink lip and said, “If you can’t hold it in… I can help you.”

Ever since Li Meng had educated her on this topic last time, Li Xiao knew that she couldn’t let him hold it in. What if Shen Yuan went to find another woman to solve the problem?

That was more like it.

Shen Yuan didn’t want to force Teacher Li. This kind of thing had to happen naturally when both parties were willing.

Li Xiao knew that Shen Yuan had tacitly agreed and asked for confirmation, “Should we go to the room?”

“Right here.”

If they were going to do it, of course they would go to the room. Since they weren’t, it was better to find some excitement in the living room.

“Then what should I do?”

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Half an hour later, Li Xiao got up from the floor.

“I’m going to change my clothes. Wait for me.”

Shen Yuan nodded and glanced at her reddened knees, thinking, ‘A counselor is a counselor, after all.’

Li Meng watched with great interest, quietly closed the door, and then picked up her phone…

This time, Li Xiao came out in a conservative white T-shirt and jeans. She walked out and said:

“Shen Yuan, I have a meeting back at the Foreign Economics College in an hour. I’ll mark the key points for you first. You can read it over, and if there are any terms or professional jargon you don’t understand, ask me first.”

“Okay.”

After Li Xiao finished marking, Shen Yuan picked up the book. He didn’t understand some of the obscure professional terms and asked Li Xiao for clarification.

Only after he understood everything did he quietly begin to memorize.

However, his memorization speed was too slow. He remembered that he still had one High-Efficiency Study Card, so he summoned the panel.

[High-Efficiency Study Card: When reading books, you can remember everything at a glance, deeply imprinted in your mind. Each card lasts for 1 hour.]

With the study card, as long as Shen Yuan read through these important knowledge points once, it was equivalent to having memorized them all.

Shen Yuan clicked “Use,” and his mind immediately focused. At the same time, something new appeared in his mind, something indescribable, like an obsession that forced him to maintain concentration.

Shen Yuan continued to read the textbook. He was so focused that he didn’t even notice when Li Xiao left.

After an hour of reading, he felt as if his soul had been hollowed out and collapsed heavily onto the sofa. This High-Efficiency Study Card was useful, but it also had side effects, consuming a great deal of mental energy.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations to the Host for mastering all the important knowledge points of “Human Resource Management.” The system will embed all the knowledge of Renmin University’s MHRM into the Host’s mind within half an hour…]

Phew, the reward had arrived.

Shen Yuan closed his eyes to rest, quietly feeling the knowledge and cases flowing into his mind like threads.
