The Strong Woman Locks the Man

“So… Yao Yao-jie, what are you doing…”

“Doing? Nothing.”

“Then could you please let go first? My arm is about to dislocate…”

Pinned face-down on the bed, looking like a dead fish, Ye Hao forced a smile while awkwardly turning his head toward Luo Yao.

Wow! Let go! Quickly let go!

It’s going to dislocate! You tigress!

Sure enough, nature is hard to change. I, Ye Hao, finally understand that today.

Being firmly restrained on the bed, with both wrists and legs pressed tightly behind him, Ye Hao was completely immobilized.

Not that he couldn’t move — it just hurt like hell when he did.

“You’ve grown up, huh! Daring to pat your sister’s head now? Has it been too long since your last beating? Feeling bold again, are you?”

Ye Hao’s heart sank halfway down his chest.

Sigh! Why can’t I control these hands of mine!?

I really should just chop them off.

In truth, when Luo Yao suddenly felt Ye Hao pat her head, she was actually quite happy.

But then…

This kid probably uses that same move — consciously or not — to tease a lot of girls.

What to do?

Even though she was happy, she was also jealous.

Since the sister’s unhappy, of course she’s going to take it out on her little brother!

“I’m asking you — do you have a girlfriend at school or something? Uncle Ye and Auntie Ye are waiting for you to carry on the family line. When are you bringing someone home for me to meet?”

“No, sis, look at me — who would even like me… you’re overthinking it.”

His arm throbbed painfully.

If someone else had grabbed him like this, Ye Hao could’ve easily broken free.

But for some reason, once Luo Yao pinned him, he was utterly helpless.

“Hao Hao, you have to understand — of all the unfilial acts, the worst is not leaving descendants. Since high school, have you liked any girl?”

“Nope. Not a single girl likes me. But I do like test papers and Huanggang exam books! Sis! Please, let go, my arm’s about to snap!”

That was the truth.

Although Ye Hao was handsome and plenty of girls liked him — even coming up to confess like fools — he rejected them on the spot.

If he was in a good mood, he’d even give them a pep talk about focusing on their studies.

Better grades meant a wider path in life. Wasn’t that more fragrant than love?

Look — only by studying hard can you get into a good university.

Only in a good university can you have a great environment and atmosphere for learning.

When you succeed and earn money, then you can have a proper romance.

Isn’t that much better?

So, before high school, he was a complete slacker.

But after realizing a few things, he decided to guide those girls wasting their time on silly romance back onto the right path.

Dating? Forget it. Study! Study, got it?

What, you think you’re a rich woman who can keep me?

You’re just a kid blinded by puppy love.

No money — and you still want to date?

What are you, some kind of bull-headed warrior inviting trouble to your house tonight? Or a Kraken cultist throwing a party at home?

Your brain’s fried!

Study! Only studying can give you a future!

Look carefully at this book — its soothing scent of ink, its elegant printed characters, the beautiful heritage of five thousand years of Chinese civilization, and the alluring figures and formulas inside…

So why talk about love when you can study with me?

What? You say you don’t know how to solve the problems?

My god — you must not be paying attention in class!

Don’t tell me you’re using your phone to watch p*(censored)*n during lectures?

No way, right? No way? No way you’d be that blatant!

If your phone suddenly rings, that’d be hilarious!

In conclusion — love? Impossible. Unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Besides, what problem in the world can only be solved by falling in love?

“Really none?”

Luo Yao, slightly wavering, loosened her grip a little as she looked at Ye Hao’s obedient expression.

What, she still doesn’t believe me?

“No, sis, really — I love studying! Ask my school, my homeroom teacher, any subject teacher! I’m super focused in class and my grades are awesome!”

As he spoke, Ye Hao began to get a little carried away.

Well, yeah, it was all true.

Nothing worth bragging about — but if it could save his life right now, then so be it!

After all, he was still pinned down!

“Then… has any girl ever confessed to you?”

When she asked that, Luo Yao’s confidence clearly faltered.

After all, she’d been abroad so long, and she knew from experience that Ye Hao had a strange natural charm that attracted girls.

Even back in elementary school, she’d noticed.

If not for her keeping watch, Ye Hao might’ve grown into a total player by now.

Sure, it might seem cruel to block her brother’s love life… but hey! That’s her brother!

You shameless hussies, stay away from him!

“Uh… well…”

“Come on, just tell me. I just want to know the situation. My brother’s so handsome — there must be tons of girls who like him, right?”

A test question.

Luo Yao could tell — her brother had changed from a flirt into a total steel-hearted academic.

He’d converted all his emotional intelligence into pure IQ.

“Well… yeah, there are… and they’re super annoying, like flies! Every time, I have to lecture them about life. I could’ve done a few extra math problems instead, but no — time wasted.”

It really ticked him off.

At first, Ye Hao had even considered cutting a few scars onto his own face, but decided against it.

Your looks are a gift from your parents.

He wasn’t about to destroy what they gave him.

“Oh~ so our Hao Hao’s quite the popular one now?”

“No way. Some girls even tried to stab me with a knife! Too bad for them — one punch each and they’re done.”

See, some girls were just ridiculous.

Here I am, kindly advising you with sincerity, and you want to stab me?

Are you serious!?

I’m doing all this for your own good, and I don’t even like you!

I’m not even half as interested in you as I am in exam questions!

Come on!

Ye Hao, being a veteran of anime culture, had seen all kinds of “yandere” types online — but now that he’d met one in real life, what could he do except subdue her?

No choice!

What else can you do?

If she doesn’t go down, you get stabbed!

Is that necessary? Of course not!

Hitting girls? Hah! What era do you think this is?

Men and women are equal now.

Why should I go easy on you just because you’re a girl?

You’ve got eyes, a nose, a mouth — same as me!

Why should I treat you differently?

So I can’t hit you, but you can hit me and still be in the right?

Come on, even cartoons don’t dare go that far!

Luo Yao: “…”

Looking at Ye Hao’s helpless, slightly aggrieved face, Luo Yao really wanted to “loosen his joints” a little more.

But still—

Good job! Nice going!

Those little sluts who try to mess with her man deserved to get hit!

Uncle Ye and Auntie Ye gave her the house key — why do you think that was?

Obviously because she’s the future daughter-in-law of the Ye family!

What other explanation could there be?

None!

Think about it — the house key only goes to family members.

And since Uncle Ye and Auntie Ye gave it to her, doesn’t that make her family?

Perfect logic!

Well done, my little man!

After giving Ye Hao’s head a light tap, Luo Yao finally climbed off him.

Feeling the restraints vanish, Ye Hao lay flat on the bed, completely relaxed.

Ahhh… bliss~

“Oh, right, sis — where do you think I should go for college after graduation?”

“College? Do you even have to ask? Of course, you’re coming with your sister! I’ll take you to eat well and live well~”

In that regard, Luo Yao had zero hesitation.

She’d already built a company abroad — even if Ye Hao didn’t want to work, it wouldn’t matter.

She could just throw her bank card and ring in front of him.

Yao: “As long as you become my little man, all this money… will be yours.”

Hao: “Yao Yao-jie, this is…”

Yao: “Promise me. Be my little puppy. I’ll take care of you forever.”

Hao: “Sis, what are you doing? Sis—no, no, sis—!”

(The above is pure fantasy.)

Just thinking about it was exciting!

Hearing Luo Yao’s words, Ye Hao didn’t notice her still daydreaming — he was busy thinking about what he could do abroad.

According to his plan, Ye Hao wanted to start his own company after graduation.

Seems like he’d have to start from the business side of things…

A bit tricky.

He’d need a little luck.

But that’s all minor stuff.

As a man, he must challenge the world head-on!

Meanwhile…

“That guy named Yuan Yuan is way too arrogant!”

Lying on her white bed, Li Mengying stared at the news on her phone.

That guy said the answer would be in the news — but what answer!? There’s nothing there!

“Damn it, how dare he toy with me! I might not be as strong as him, but I, Li Mengying, am not someone to be bullied!”

Just as she was about to put her phone down and sleep, a new headline popped up.

“Wait… isn’t that… our school?”

Her jaw dropped in shock.

What’s going on…

The teachers’ dormitory at the school had caught fire.

A trainee teacher had been trapped inside, nearly dying.

“What… what is this…?”

Could this be the news Yuan Yuan was talking about?

Thinking of his earlier words, Li Mengying hesitated — then tapped on the screen.
