Chapter 121: A Clumsy Punishment

But Bai He was not satisfied.

Aside from these matters, was there nothing else?

Had Ye Shiyuan selectively forgotten what he did after getting drunk?

He... he had actually hugged him.

And it was the kind of embrace where he held him tightly in his arms.

Just thinking about it made Bai He feel an overwhelming mix of shame and anger.

"Master, scold me if you must. Or hit me twice, I promise I won’t fight back," Ye Shiyuan said, sensing that Bai He was still angry and continued to admit his fault.

Bai He took a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Alright. Then hold out your hand."

Ye Shiyuan was a little puzzled, but he still extended his hand.

"Shiyuan, do you know how teachers usually deal with students who make mistakes?"

Ye Shiyuan seemed to understand what Bai He intended to do.

"Master is going to use a ruler?"

Just like being struck on the palm as a child, but Ye Shiyuan was already this grown... it was really...

A ruler appeared in Bai He’s hand from who knew where.

Ye Shiyuan froze for a moment, yet still did not withdraw his hand.

"If Master wants to hit me, then go ahead. As long as Master isn’t angry anymore, that’s all that matters."

With one hand holding his, Bai He raised the ruler with the other and stared at him, watching to see if he would show any fear.

What was with that calm expression of his? Was he looking down on him? Or did he think he wouldn’t dare to actually hit him?

How outrageous, there was no way he would let him off so easily.

Thinking this, Bai He brought the ruler down, but because he wasn’t looking, he ended up striking his own hand instead.

Fortunately, he hadn’t used much force; otherwise, who knew how much it would have hurt.

The ruler immediately fell to the ground and Bai He clutched his hand.

His eyes welled with tears. "It hurts..."

Ye Shiyuan immediately grabbed his hand to examine it and sure enough, one spot had already turned red.

"Master, you... why did you hit yourself?"

In an instant, Bai He felt even more aggrieved.

Did he want to hit himself?

Of course not, he’d have to be crazy to do that.

"You..." Bai He’s tears couldn’t help but fall.

Ye Shiyuan immediately panicked. "I’m sorry, Master."

"It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t been drinking, none of this would have happened."

"Master, I swear, I will never drink again."

"That’s not necessary," Bai He said as Ye Shiyuan gently rubbed the injured spot and it didn’t seem to hurt as much anymore.

Bai He wiped the tears from his face. "Go reflect while facing the wall. I’m going back to my room to rest."

Ye Shiyuan was absolutely his nemesis and nothing good ever happened when he was around.

He had meant to hit him, yet ended up hitting himself instead.

"Host, you really are quite clumsy."

Just as Bai He closed the door, he heard Mo Zhu’s teasing.

Bai He was already upset and now Mo Zhu spoke like this, his embarrassment turned into anger. "You’ve gone too far."

"Host, aren’t you just angry because the protagonist hugged you and then didn’t remember it? Actually, he remembers everything."

Remembers? Bai He couldn’t tell at all.

"He’s acting?"

"Of course. It would be so awkward to say it out loud. Think about it, if the protagonist brought this up to you himself, wouldn’t you feel embarrassed?"

Uh... Bai He felt that Mo Zhu actually had a point.

He had been so focused on being angry that he had forgotten about this possibility.

"Host, if you remember it, how could the protagonist possibly not remember?"

Bai He shot him a glare. "What do you mean, if I remember it, then he must remember it too? Are you indirectly calling me stupid?"

Mo Zhu didn’t even deny it. "Host, you said that yourself. Honestly, I’m pretty unlucky too, ending up with a host like you."

"Unlucky? I’m the unlucky one! I ended up in this ridiculous place for no reason. I want to go home, do you understand?"

At this moment, nothing was more important to Bai He than going home.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be going through so much trouble to complete any so-called tasks.

Although Bai He was still fuming, when he heard a knock on the door, he still went to open it.

Standing at the door, Ye Shiyuan looked at him with a face full of guilt.

"What are you here for?"

"Master, I came to check on you. Your hand... is it alright?"

Bai He lowered his head and glanced at it.

Aside from being a little red, it didn’t hurt much anymore.

"It’s fine."

"Master, let me apply some medicine for you." Ye Shiyuan had already brought medicine with him.

He hadn’t taken any when he first went out, he had just gone to ask Xue Yanming for it.

Bai He had been in a bad mood, but seeing Ye Shiyuan like this, he suddenly felt that perhaps he had made a big deal out of nothing.

Ye Shiyuan was actually a very good person and he treated him quite well.

As a college freshman who had just started school, Bai He had once been full of expectations for the future and had even thought about what kind of person would suit him as a lover.

If it were Ye Shiyuan... it had to be said, he was really handsome...

If someone like him appeared at his university, he would definitely be the dream guy of every girl and boy.

And yet, a person like that was treating him like this...

"Master, should I apply the medicine for you or not? I know you’re still angry, but Master, I can leave the medicine here, would you like to apply it yourself?"

Bai He looked up at him and his lips moving slightly. "My hand is injured, how am I supposed to apply it by myself? Come in."
