Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 199 Recalling Xiaoyu's Tutoring

Lin Yue's grades were only average to begin with, and she only managed to maintain an above-average position because Chi Xiaoyu tutored her.

But now, Chi Xiaoyu is gone, and she hadn't been to school for several weeks because she had become a vegetable, so she had fallen behind in her studies.

Last week, she had her monthly exams, so her grades weren't great, but thankfully they were still in the lower middle range.

In contrast, Li Yuetian's grades remained excellent, ranking first in the class once again.

Lin Yue wasn't particularly anxious about falling behind in her studies. After all, once you fall behind, it takes time to catch up, and being anxious won't help. However, in stark contrast to Lin Yue's composure, Li Yuetian was deeply worried about her academic situation.

It's important to understand that Lin Yue's improved grades were largely due to Chi Xiaoyu's help. Given Lin Yue's current grades, even getting into a second-tier university in the college entrance exam will be quite difficult.

"Lin Yue, I can tutor you," Li Yuetian said earnestly. "I will catch up on all the lessons you've missed and bring your grades back to where they were before."

Lin Yue was somewhat surprised by Li Yuetian's words. However, she still smiled and shook her head, politely declining, "Yuetian, thank you for your kindness, but I still want to rely on my own efforts to gradually catch up in my grades. Please don't be distracted by me."

Li Yuetian was clearly not expecting Lin Yue to refuse him: "I'm not busy, and tutoring you is also a way for me to consolidate my learning. If you feel bad, you can treat me to a meal after your grades improve."

Despite Li Yuetian's insistence, Lin Yue remained unmoved, firmly stating, "Really, it's not necessary. I know you mean well, but I still want to try it myself."

Seeing Lin Yue's stubbornness, Li Yuetian could not force her any further and had no choice but to give up for the time being.

After the meal, Lin Yue wanted to clean up the dishes herself, but Li Yuetian insisted on helping. His attitude was very firm, making it difficult for Lin Yue to refuse.

Lin Yue sat on the sofa, watching Li Yuetian skillfully wash the dishes, and remembered that Li Yuetian had said he would help her with her studies.

If Li Yuetian were to help, it would be a godsend for Lin Yue right now. Her academic performance has never been ideal, especially in math and physics, which are her nightmares. Every time she sees those complex formulas, she gets sleepy and completely loses her focus.

Lin Yue recalled how she would often doze off when Chi Xiaoyu tutored her. Chi Xiaoyu, in desperation, resorted to some "unconventional methods," such as pulling her ears or tickling her, to keep her awake, though these were largely ineffective.

Lin Yue knew very well that Li Yuetian couldn't treat her the way Chi Xiaoyu had treated her. If she fell asleep during tutoring, not only would she waste Li Yuetian's time, but he might also think she wasn't serious. In that case, she would only cause trouble for Li Yuetian.

She recalled that time when she had fallen asleep without realizing it while Chi Xiaoyu was explaining a problem. When she woke up, she found Chi Xiaoyu looking at her with a serious expression.

Lin Yue looked at Chi Xiaoyu with some confusion, not understanding why she had suddenly become so serious. Chi Xiaoyu said, "I've thought of a way to help you study better."

Lin Yue asked curiously, "What method?" However, when she saw the board in Chi Xiaoyu's hand, her eyes widened and her face was full of shock.

"What... what are you trying to do?" Lin Yue stammered, completely unable to understand Chi Xiaoyu's intentions.

Chi Xiaoyu smiled slightly and explained, "I saw some methods online that say pain can keep people alert and deepen their understanding of knowledge. So I've decided that if you make the same mistake again, or get a question wrong on a topic I've covered, you'll have to be spanked!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue blushed deeply, even her ears turning red. She quickly waved her hands, saying, "This won't do, it's too embarrassing!" She felt this form of punishment was far too awkward and unacceptable.

However, Chi Xiaoyu remained unmoved and insisted, "If you don't want to get beaten up, then study hard! I'm doing this for your own good." Although her words were stern, the concern she revealed was obvious.

Lin Yue hesitated, but Chi Xiaoyu pressed her against the wall: "I want you to feel ashamed, otherwise how will you learn your lesson? I'm doing this for your own good, do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I'll keep you pressed against the wall!"

Knowing she couldn't dissuade Chi Xiaoyu, she reluctantly agreed in the end. Although she still felt some resistance to this form of punishment, she understood that Chi Xiaoyu genuinely wanted her to improve.

This was the first tutoring session after she agreed to it. At first, Lin Yue managed to stay focused and listen attentively, but soon, drowsiness overwhelmed her again.

Seeing Lin Yue's eyelids gradually drooping, Chi Xiaoyu cleared her throat. Lin Yue jolted and sat up abruptly. But in the end, she couldn't hold on any longer, and her head slowly drifted off to sleep.

Seeing this, Chi Xiaoyu watched her fall asleep and started timing. When Lin Yue groggily opened her eyes, she wasn't fully awake. She only felt that the surrounding light was a bit dazzling. After struggling to adjust for a while, she saw Chi Xiaoyu sitting on the edge of the bed with a mischievous smile on her face.

"You slept for ten minutes, ten strokes, time to accept your punishment." Chi Xiaoyu's voice reached Lin Yue's ears, instantly waking her up. She then remembered her promise to Chi Xiaoyu, and a wave of shame washed over her, making her wish she could disappear into the ground.

Lin Yue's face flushed red. She hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly lay down on the edge of the bed. She closed her eyes tightly, as if that would lessen some of the impending pain.

Looking at Lin Yue's expression, Chi Xiaoyu's wicked smile deepened. She raised the paddle in her hand and struck without mercy! With a crisp "smack," the paddle landed hard on Lin Yue's buttocks.

Caught off guard, she cried out in pain, tears welling up in her eyes like a burst dam. However, this was just the beginning. The paddle struck her buttocks again and again, each blow bringing a burning, stinging pain that filled her with shame and agony.

Finally, the punishment ended. Lin Yue sat up, her face flushed, rubbing her burning hot buttocks with both hands, trying to relieve the unbearable pain.

In the following study sessions, Lin Yue indeed became much more focused. Whenever drowsiness crept in, the stinging sensation of the paddle hitting her bottom would involuntarily flash through her mind, instantly waking her up and allowing her to continue concentrating on her studies.

However, her good fortune didn't last long. As the learning content became more in-depth, difficult problems, like surging waves, relentlessly assailed Lin Yue. She began to feel overwhelmed, and her mistakes, like a burst dam, increased one by one.

That day, when she made several mistakes on questions that had already been taught due to carelessness, Chi Xiaoyu picked up that daunting board again without hesitation.

Lin Yue stared at Chi Xiaoyu with teary eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably. She had been beaten several times already, and now she was filled with fear of Chi Xiaoyu.

"Waaah, Xiaoyu, my best friend, I really know I was wrong..." Lin Yue's voice trembled with tears, sounding extremely aggrieved. "I'll definitely be more careful next time, please forgive me this time, okay?"

However, Chi Xiaoyu's expression remained unchanged, serious and even somewhat cold.

"No way!" Chi Xiaoyu's answer was crisp and decisive. "We have an agreement that mistakes must be punished. Look at you, you got 28 out of 30 questions wrong! And I've explained all these question types before, how could you still get so many wrong?"

Chi Xiaoyu's tone grew increasingly harsh. She glared at Lin Yue, her disappointment and anger evident in her eyes.

"This time I'm going to spank you for being naked!" Chi Xiaoyu said mercilessly. "Get down there right now, hurry up!"
