A Rude Awakening and a Humiliating Reminder

“Lin Yan-chan, Lin Yan-chan, time to get up for breakfast!”

Half-asleep and half-awake, a familiar voice suddenly echoed beside my ear.

Though the lark-like singing was utterly captivating, it only made me, still nestled in bed, furrow my brows.

I felt as though the word ‘vomit’ was practically etched onto my face.

“Lin Yan-chan, stop pretending to be asleep! I know you’re awake!”

“How annoying! Can’t you just stay away from me?”

Feeling my tender cheek being incessantly kneaded, I reluctantly opened my eyes.

I glared with extreme impatience at Serena, who was now straddling my waist.

“What is it now? I don’t even have school. Why are you waking me up so early? Can’t you just let me sleep a little longer?”

I twisted my head to glance at the alarm clock on the nightstand.

Instantly, a surge of irritation welled up within me.

It was only half past six in the morning.

If I were still a high school student, I would naturally rise early without prompting.

However, I was currently a dropout, staying home for various reasons.

Coupled with the sheer exhaustion from the previous night, being abruptly woken up truly ignited my morning grumpiness.

“Oh dear, don’t be angry.”

Seeing me rub my forehead with a displeased expression, Serena secretly chuckled.

She then swung her long legs and gracefully hopped back onto the floor.

She patted down her slightly wrinkled white slip dress.

Then, with wide, innocent eyes, she looked at me and spoke.

“It’s not like *I* wanted to wake you up… This thankless task, if Chen Si Yi hadn’t ordered me to do it, I wouldn’t have come!”

After uttering this complaint, she immediately reached out and seized my wrist.

Without a care for my disheveled state, she yanked me along and swiftly headed towards the door.

“Wait, wait, wait! Don’t walk so fast!”

With a sudden tug from Serena, my already loose pajamas slipped down one shoulder.

My fair, delicate skin was instantly exposed under the glare of the light.

I moved my uncontrolled left hand, attempting to pull my pajamas back up.

However, Serena, noticing my struggle, not only failed to stop but actually quickened her pace.

Caught off guard, I lost my balance and nearly stumbled to the ground.

“Haha, it’s fine!”

Serena, still rushing forward, turned her head and gave me a silly smile.

She added, “We’re all girls, there’s no need to be shy!”

‘Who said I’m a girl?’

‘I’m clearly a muscular man with a six-pack, you scoundrel!’

‘Are you brainless, or do you simply wish to infuriate me to death?’

Her antics instantly jolted me awake, dispelling the last vestiges of my sleepiness.

I arrived at the dining table, pouting.

My face, usually as fair as snow, was now flushed red like a ripe apple, all due to my indignation.

I didn’t even spare a glance at the white porridge Serena offered.

With a cold huff, I propped my chin in my hand and retreated into a state of self-imposed silence.

“What’s wrong, Lin Yan? Are you not feeling well?”

Observing my unusual behavior, Chen Si Yi, who was still sipping porridge across the table, naturally looked puzzled.

“It looks like you’re angry, am I wrong?”

Chen Si Yi set down her white porcelain bowl and tilted her head, asking, “Let me guess… are you angry at me? Angry that I spanked your butt yesterday?”

“Pfft, cough, cough, cough…”

It would have been better if she hadn’t said anything.

The moment she did, I nearly choked on my own saliva.

Recalling Chen Si Yi from last night, whip in hand, the temperature in my cheeks began to rise sharply.

A blush visibly spread, slowly creeping all the way to my earlobes.

However, this wasn’t due to anger—it was from sheer embarrassment.

After being tied up in Chen Si Yi’s room last night, she was still furious from the painful experience of massaging my hands until they ached that afternoon and evening.

She yanked down my pants, along with my underwear, to my knees.

Then, she delivered a merciless whip to my exposed backside…

Then, a muffled grunt escaped me.

Whether it was a pang of conscience or a feeling of remorse upon seeing my slightly reddened and swollen backside, Chen Si Yi stopped after that single strike.

She tossed the whip she held back into the hands of her minion, Serena.

Next, under my astonished gaze, Chen Si Yi pursed her lips and sat on the edge of the bed beside me.

Then, her slender fingers reached out and actually began to… massage me?

“Um, Chen Si Yi, you…?”

At that moment, Chen Si Yi’s unusual actions startled me.

My first thought was that she intended to discard her ‘weapon’ and use her diligent hands to inflict precise strikes, thereby satisfying her deep-seated desire for revenge.

However, it seemed I had overthought the situation.

In the end, after gently rubbing the slightly reddened area, Chen Si Yi merely let out a soft sigh.

She then pulled up both sides of my pants, along with my underwear, covering my backside once more with fabric.

“Hmph, I’ll let you off this time.”

Chen Si Yi, having pulled up my pants, pinched my cheek and twisted it hard.

She continued, “If there’s a next time, hmph hmph, I’ll record a video of me spanking your butt and send it to… hmm… how about Sister Su Xiao Yu?”

‘Hey, hey, hey, that’s too brutal!’

‘Doing that would be a completely foolish act of mutual destruction!’

‘Even if I’m humiliated, you’ll still leave the impression of a cruel and ruthless witch in front of your beloved Sister Xiao Yu!’

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare again.”

I immediately shook my head and declared, “I’ll never dare to deceive you again, my dear younger sister!”

Yes, when dealing with a woman in a fit of rage, never try to reason with her.

Simply admitting fault is the key; this was a trick I’d learned from years of living with my own younger sister.

Besides, why should I, as an older brother, be so serious with my younger sister?

Receiving just one whip strike in exchange for a double massage experience in the afternoon and evening was quite a profitable deal, after all.

Still… being spanked on the backside by Chen Si Yi with a whip, no matter how one looked at it, was utterly humiliating.

It was undoubtedly the most unbearable black mark in my seventeen years of life!
