Stop Slapping Me, I Know I Was Wrong!

Xu Bing had followed the rules for twenty-six years. The one time she let loose, she got herself into serious trouble.

After waking up from a drunken night, she found a young woman lying beside her, her hands tied to the headboard, her clothes disheveled, and herself looking miserable.

The woman rubbed the marks on her wrists, slapped away the phone Xu Bing offered so she could call the police, then leaned close with a grin and asked Xu Bing to let her have her way for once.

Or take her in.

*

The young woman's name was Zhong Tang. Seven years younger than Xu Bing, she was a beautiful delinquent with parents who didn't care about her and nowhere else to go.

The delinquent smoked, drank, got tattoos, and got into fights. She was rebellious and vain, loved to lie, had no plans for the future, and kept talking shamelessly about sleeping with Xu Bing. She was brazen, frivolous, and unrestrained.

"Dye my hair back? Then you have to wash it for me."

"You don't like the way I dress? Then surely you won't mind if I wear your clothes."

"Tattoo removal hurts. If I go through with it, what reward are you going to give me?"

"If you won't let me smoke or drink, what am I supposed to do when my mouth gets bored?"

This was also the delinquent who crushed the rumors slandering Xu Bing and stood in front of her when danger came.

"You want to know why?"

The delinquent, who had just been pouting and asking Xu Bing to blow on her wound, leaned close. Their lips nearly touched, their breaths mingled, then she suddenly drew back and whispered against her ear:

"Because I'm the one who loves you most."

Zhong Tang never expected to meet a beauty so perfectly to her taste in a bar in a poor, insignificant little city.

She shamelessly talked her way into staying at Xu Bing's place. At first, she regretted that Xu Bing was so proper and hard to approach. She acted like a teacher both at school and at home, ordering Zhong Tang around and insisting she reform. Whenever Zhong Tang flirted a little too boldly, she got punished.

Later, Zhong Tang thought that if she worked hard enough to become Xu Bing's girlfriend, Xu Bing would be more indulgent with her. Instead, the punishments became more varied, and even someone as open-minded as her could barely take it.

But Xu Bing undoubtedly loved her.

Even though Zhong Tang was incorrigible, broke the rules time and again, and lied constantly, even though her identity was exposed and caused Xu Bing endless trouble, Xu Bing still couldn't let her go. She would rather leave everything behind and run away with her.

"She loves me to death. She can't live without me. There's no way she'd leave, even if I kicked her out. Anyway, I'm young, so I can have a little fun..."

Amid the teasing, Zhong Tang boasted smugly, throwing her head back and asking someone to light her cigarette. Then she suddenly met a familiar face.

The cigarette dropped, and her drunkenness vanished.

A certain part of her began to ache in phantom pain.

A composed, proper, cool teacher who knows how to slap and choke x a rebellious, live-for-the-moment, looks-obsessed, shameless troublemaker who lies, smokes, drinks, fights, and doesn't like studying

1. Zhong Tang is beautiful, rich, and entitled. She's sharp-tongued and needs discipline. She smokes, drinks, fights, rebels, and lies. She's a poor student who can't read well and doesn't like studying, and she'll be disciplined.

2. They are not in a teacher-student relationship. She likes calling Xu Bing "teacher." Seven-year age gap.

3. The story starts with their first meeting. Profession-related details are sourced online, so don't take them too seriously.

4. Other changes may occur.
