Chapter 143: Settling He Min

The maze isn't big; its total area is no more than a few basketball courts.

The interior passages are narrow, barely enough for two people to walk side by side, and some discarded tires have been placed on the ground of some passages to increase difficulty.

"Stay close to me; if you lose to the students, you'll lose face."

Chen Mo walked in front, occasionally turning back to look after He Min.

He Min nodded and whispered, "I'll try not to hold you back."

Chen Mo from the passage: "Don't worry, with me you can't lose. It's just a bunch of kids; dealing with them is easy."

Chen Mo carefully watched the traps on the ground, while also dividing his attention to look after He Min behind him, to avoid her stepping on a trap.

Although the traps are just small mechanical clips, like their air guns, they cause little harm, but if one accidentally gets hit, it still hurts a lot.

Suddenly, a secret door opened in the wall ahead, and several boys rushed out from inside.

Chen Mo was quick-eyed and quick-handed; his air gun fired first despite being drawn later, unleashing a rapid three-shot burst.

"Bang bang bang" three gunshots.

The three boys hadn't even steadied their stance, nor raised their air guns, when they felt a sudden pain in their foreheads.

According to the rules, they were dead.

Although they wanted to embarrass Chen Mo, the teenagers' pride prevented them from doing anything underhanded.

Losing is losing.

The three slumped their heads in dejection, sat down on the ground, and remained motionless.

"Professor He, your boyfriend is really awesome," one boy praised.

"Just so-so; you could do the same if you practiced more."

Chen Mo spoke first, not giving He Min a chance to explain their relationship.

Smiling at the few students, Chen Mo took He Min's hand and continued walking forward.

Although the maze is labyrinthine, it was actually built on the basketball court inside the gym, and where no traps were placed, the court's lines could be seen on the floor.

Chen Mo could easily determine his position from the lines on the ground, and soon brought He Min to the maze's center.

The center was an octagonal space, with eight small closed doors around it.

Chen Mo had He Min stand at the doorway they had entered through, and he stood in front of her to shield her.

"Stay hidden behind me; getting hit by an air gun still hurts quite a bit."

He Min, having been led by Chen Mo's hand all the way, blushed, lowered her head, and whispered behind him, "I understand; you be careful too."

She was feeling uneasy inside.

She's not a fool; she could hardly miss Chen Mo's intentions toward her.

But Chen Mo had never explicitly said anything, so she couldn't directly refuse.

Moreover, she didn't really want to refuse.

After all, up to now, Chen Mo is the most outstanding man she has known.

Apart from being a playboy with several women, no other flaws have been found.

He Min is now conflicted.

She knows she has begun to feel attracted to Chen Min.

But she is also very close to Gang Sheng and Qiu Di, and feels that stealing someone's boyfriend would be immoral.

Letting her join in, she again couldn't make up her mind.

She now feels a bit unsure what to do.

Or should she quit her tutoring job and stay far away from Chen Mo?

But Chen Mo knows the school where she works and also knows her home location; if he were determined, she couldn't escape.

What should she do, after all?

While He Min was lost in thought, Chen Mo had already fired repeatedly, killing each student who arrived here.

Including Huang Xiaogui, who planned this operation to embarrass Chen Mo.

As for Huang Xiaogui, Chen Mo fired two extra shots, counting it as punishment.

"Ah Min, come to your senses, we've won."

Originally He Min was standing behind Chen Mo, but at some point she ended up lying on his back, her arms wrapped around his waist.

When Chen Mo turned around, He Min's whole body seemed to lunge into his embrace.

"Ah!" Hearing Chen Mo call her, she finally came to her senses.

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

When the game ended, the dozen or so students whom Chen Mo had 'killed' came over and gathered around, starting to make noise.

Among them were also members of the Star Star Gang who had initially looked unfavorably at Chen Mo.

Sometimes, boys are like that; as long as you're awesome, they'll submit to you.

Being awesome at games also counts as being awesome.

Amid the students' clamor, Chen Mo lifted He Min's chin and lowered his head to kiss her.

He Min froze, her eyes staring straight ahead.

Before she could figure out what was happening, she felt something slick slip into her mouth, stirring around inside.

Only then did He Min realize what had happened.

She wanted to break free, but Chen Mo held her too tightly, one hand still gripping her head.

She wanted to lift her head to avoid it, but couldn't.

He Min felt helpless; she closed her eyes, steeled her heart: "Let it be death—I don't care."

Slowly, He Min's hands unconsciously climbed onto Chen Mo's neck, and she began to respond.

"Wow——"

When have these underage students ever seen such a scene? Excited, they started cheering.

The next morning, Chen Mo woke from the hotel bed, with He Min still asleep beside him.

After yesterday's school celebration ended, He Min directly pulled Chen Mo to the hotel.

Yes, He Min took the initiative.

Before making a decision, this woman overthought and agonized to death.

After making a decision, she didn't care about anything.

He Min's eager demeanor last night almost scared Chen Mo.

If not for the residual bloodstains on the sheets from last night, Chen Mo would doubt whether He Min was a first-timer.

Chen Mo had no idea how hard she had endured after listening to erotic sounds all night that day.

Several times her fingers almost turned white from soaking.

After Chen Mo got up and washed, he gently patted He Min on the bed.

"Ah Min, wake up."

He Min heard Chen Mo's voice, slowly opened her eyes, and last night's memories surged forth.

"Ah——"

He Min let out a shriek, curled up into a ball, pulled the blanket over herself, and wrapped herself tightly inside.

Seeing He Min like that, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong, you won't regret it, will you?"

"Don't mind me, let me be alone quietly." He Min's muffled voice came from under the blanket.

Chen Mo yanked the blanket off, pulled He Min close, and said, "No way, it doesn't work like that. You're already my girlfriend now—it's too late to regret."

"I... I just feel sorry for Gang Sheng and Qiu Di. We're best friends, yet I..."

"It's fine, they won't blame you. Just tell them I forced you, and push the blame onto me."

How could Gang Sheng and Qiu Di blame her? They were even urging Chen Mo to hurry up and make a move.

After Chen Mo's soothing, He Min finally accepted reality.

"Oh no, I still have to go to work today! Hiss——"

He Min finally realized it was late; she'd be late for work.

Just as she was about to get up and dress, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower body, her legs went weak, and she couldn't get out of bed.

"You'd better just lie still; later I'll use my phone to call the school for a leave—you can't go to work right now."

"It's all your fault!"

"Tch, I don't know who it was, but last night they insisted I not stop."

"And you're still talking!"

He Min grabbed the pillow beside her and smashed it hard toward Chen Mo.
