Emma felt a chill and realized what was happening only after the deed was done.
Rudius approached her and activated the Sensitive Sense of Smell ability.
However, before he could distinguish any specific scent, Emma gave a soft cry and backed away in a panic.
Since she was standing on only one foot and Rudius’s previous actions had left her weak all over, she lost her balance as soon as she moved, falling backward onto the ground with a cry.
The pain of her back hitting the ground made her frown.
Opening her eyes, she found herself lying on the floor with her skirt still flipped up.
What terrified her even more was that Rudius was now crouched in front of her.
Their posture looked terrible—Rudius had his head lowered, seemingly sniffing something.
A wave of intense shame flooded her heart.
Emma hurriedly tried to push him away.
Seeing this, Rudius raised his hand and slapped her once.
“Don’t move.”
Slap.
“Ugh…” Emma cried out in pain, then glared at him with a blushing face, her voice panicked.
“You clearly promised not to touch me!”
Rudius paused and looked up at her with an innocent face.
“Wasn’t it you who was disobedient first? I told you not to move, so why did you move?”
Emma was momentarily speechless.
According to Rudius’s logic, it was indeed her fault because, per their agreement, she wasn’t allowed to move if he told her not to.
But Emma soon snapped out of it, fuming, “It was clearly you who flipped up my skirt first!”
Having her skirt flipped up by a boy was a humiliating thing for a girl.
Rudius actually dared to turn the tables after doing such a thing—he was truly despicable and shameless.
Emma had never seen someone so thick-skinned.
She trembled with rage.
“Nonsense! You were the one who took the initiative to lick my foot, you disgusting foot-fetishist, you lowly human male!”
She was truly livid and began to curse at him directly, but the tougher her attitude became, the more Rudius felt she was just putting on a brave front.
Rudius mocked, “Is that really so? Then why didn’t you stop me just now? Don’t tell me you couldn’t bear to.”
Emma’s delicate body shuddered, her gaze turning blank.
That’s right, why didn’t I stop him?
Could it be…
Her expression shifted, and her eyes filled with terror.
Seeing the young girl looking so devastated, Rudius chose to press his advantage.
He crawled forward on his knees toward the girl, bracing his hands on either side of her.
Rudius leaned down, bringing his face very close to hers.
Emma’s heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively avoided his burning gaze, asking in a trembling voice, “What do you want to do?”
To prevent her secret from being exposed, Emma had sent everyone away beforehand, including the principal.
In other words, there were only her and Rudius on this floor.
If Rudius went mad and tried to do something to her, she would have no way to resist.
At the thought of such a terrifying possibility, Emma felt a surge of panic.
Rudius snorted and said, “Do you know how much you hurt me just now? I’ve made such a huge sacrifice for you—is it too much to ask for some cooperation? I don’t plan on doing anything to you; I just told you not to move. Can’t you even cooperate with such a small request?”
Emma was suddenly made to feel ashamed by his words, beginning to doubt if she really was that bad.
Her mind was a mess, and with Rudius’s face so close, she felt awkward and couldn’t think straight.
Under Rudius’s intense gaze, Emma looked at his face right in front of her with a complex expression, then said weakly, “I can cooperate with you, but you must promise not to touch me at all from now on.”
She ultimately chose to give up resistance.
After all, if she continued to risk provoking Rudius, things would only get worse for her.
Rudius looked at her for a long while before nodding.
“I promise not to touch you, but you must also promise not to move a single bit right now.”
Emma glanced down at herself, her breathing quickening. This story is hosted at novelping.com.
She took a breath and said bashfully, “I’ve already agreed, now get away!”
Rudius gave a wicked laugh but did move away from her, though only to end their physical contact.
He remained kneeling in front of her and pointedly reminded her, “Then I’m starting. Don’t move.”
Amidst her look of utter shame and indignation, Rudius chuckled and leaned down.
Emma secretly watched his actions, a hint of shame in her eyes.
Her face was burning so hot she wished she could just faint.
Rudius didn’t care about her.
For one, his focus was entirely captured by what was in front of him, leaving no room for anything else.
Secondly, he was still intent on his goal of remembering her scent, and this was the last spot.
However, after a few attempts, Rudius found he wasn’t succeeding.
He realized the scent was completely blocked by her clothing.
What now?
Should I give up?
Rudius hesitated.
If he continued, he would completely offend Emma.
But even if he gave up now, she already hated him to the bone.
Rudius weighed his options repeatedly and then suddenly hardened his heart.
To hell with it.
The most important thing is to make myself stronger.
After all, doing this wasn’t just about remembering her scent—it would also help increase my scumbag level for the day and earn me more Scumbag Points.
Rudius no longer hesitated.
All at once, a delicate fragrance wafted into his nose.
