Mary Sue Chapter 24: Smack!

Editor: Addis

Having learnt his lesson, Ye Xi no longer dared to treat male extras as if they were less than human. So, with a face full of genuine, heartfelt joy, he told Dugu ‘okay’ before withdrawing his stiff, frozen hand. Then braving the roaring thunder and savage winds, he made his way towards Shen Xiulin.

While Dugu waited for his arrest, he watched Ye Xi’s cheerful gait and felt something was not quite right, but could not discern what it was.

“Are you satisfied now?” Ye Xi asked as he stopped in front of Shen Xiulin, while pretending to be resentful.

Shen Xiulin glowered at Dugu with a face full of seething jealousy, before slowly scanning Ye Xi’s fingertips with his savage gaze, as if wanting to sterilise them from Dugu’s earlier kiss. He sneered, then grabbing Ye Xi by the wrist in a vice-like grip, he dragged Ye Xi into the helicopter and threw him onto a soft sofa chair.

Shen Xiulin commanded through clenched teeth, “Take your pants off, I’m going to spank you now.”

Ye Xi sat up from the sofa, “…”

So the Chief Executive wants to start our quest already?!

Someone as proud as Little Master Murong would definitely not let Huangfu spank him so easily. Based on Ye Xi’s understanding of his character, he sharply turned his head and stared defiantly into Shen Xiulin’s eyes, “I WILL NOT!”

“Ha, then you’re forcing my hand.” The cabin door shut with a bang. Shen Xiulin approached Ye Xi in long strides and picked him up as easily as a small kitten. He sat down on the sofa, then ignoring Ye Xi’s squirming, placed Ye Xi face-down over his knee. With a deep, seductive voice, Shen Xiulin declared, “Insolent little creature, it’s time for your punishment.”

“Wait…” Out of nowhere, a sudden panic swept over Ye Xi. He struggled, wanting to roll off Shen Xiulin’s lap, but his back was firmly held down by Shen Xiulin’s powerful hand. Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a rush of cold air from behind.

In a situation where he should not be indecently exposed, but was instead stripped of his pants like a naughty child, the awkwardness far exceeded Ye Xi’s imagination. Especially since the person doing the spanking was his boss.

Ye Xi’s whole body bent over Shen Xiulin’s legs. The trousers Shen Xiulin wore were the same ones from the wedding, the fabric was soft and exquisite, and slightly cool to the touch. Through the fabric, Ye Xi could acutely feel the outlines of Shen Xiulin’s thigh muscles…

Ye Xi originally thought spanking was no big deal, but now, his delicate alabaster face was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was a real slap in the face!

“Sir, sir, please wait!” Looking both silly and adorable, Ye Xi covered his bottom with both hands. With his face as red as a tomato, Ye Xi turned around to look at Shen Xiulin, whose handsome face revealed a trace of perverse hysteria. Ye Xi asked in a deliberately blasé tone, “Could you please spank me with my pants on? This is slightly embarrassing, haha, hahaha.”

“No.” Shen Xiulin’s voice was slightly husky, but his expression was stern and noble, “The system said no.”

“Oh, I forgot to ask, sir, why did you come at that exact moment?” Ye Xi tried to stall for time by changing the subject. For some reason, Ye Xi had an ominous feeling that things would go horribly wrong if Shen Xiulin actually spanked him.

Something feels a bit off with the Chief Executive today!

Actually, it’s more accurate to say that something’s a bit off with me today!

Ye Xi struggled to crank up the somewhat inadequate gears in his brain, desperately trying to fathom the situation.

Shen Xiulin licked his lips while he stared at Ye Xi’s buttocks and explained in a short, concise manner, “The wedding venue was fairly chaotic, I came as soon as I could.”

“But…” Ye Xi turned his body and asked with a puzzled look on his face, “Why didn’t you give me some time to conquer the male extra? This one was worth 40,000 experience points, maybe the next one will be worth even more. Can we agree that next time I escape, you will come and get me only after you hear the successful male extra conquest announcement?”

Shen Xiulin refused him outright in an icy cold voice, “No.”

Before Ye Xi could ask why, Shen Xiulin’s palm landed on Ye Xi’s butt cheeks with restrained force, resulting in a crisp ‘smack’.

Since the spanking had already started, Ye Xi no longer dwelled on the matter, as it would have been far worse if they failed the quest and had to start all over again. So, as the quest instructions demanded, Ye Xi hastily cursed, “You bastard!”

Shen Xiulin quietly sneered, then hit his backside with another ‘smack’.

Ye Xi’s bottom felt as soft and tender as a freshly-peeled boiled egg.

Shen Xiulin swallowed hard. His eyes were so bright, one could almost feel the smouldering heat that emanated from them. In an instant, he had turned from the disciplined ascetic-type to the train molester-type ¹.

Ye Xi’s cheeks became a brighter shade of red. He thought that it sounded wrong for the little master to use swear words like “fuck you”, which might not even count towards the quest. So, he endured his emerging goosebumps with a grimace and exclaimed in a coquettish, high-pitched voice, “Scoundrel!”

Shen Xiulin cheerfully spanked him again, “Keep it coming.”

Ye Xi continued his wailing, “Big scoundrel!”

Shen Xiulin bent down and whispered next to Ye Xi’s ear in a hoarse, deliberately low voice, “I am a total scoundrel.”

His warm breath blew past the outer rim of Ye Xi’s ear, who could not help but shudder at the act.

Shen Xiulin continued his spanking assignment. Although the smacks made a loud noise, they were not particularly painful. They felt more like teasing than punishment. As the smacks echoed in the helicopter cabin, they mixed with Shen Xiulin’s deep voice and gradually made the atmosphere in the cabin highly provocative.

“Are you going to run from me again?” asked Shen Xiulin.

Ye Xi, “Of course!”

Smack!

Shen Xiulin hit Ye Xi with his palm, then drawled, “Hmm?”

Ye Xi whimpered, “Pervert!”

Shen Xiulin, “What did you and the assassin get up to?”

Ye Xi, “Not telling!”

Smack!

Shen Xiulin spanked him again, “Naughty boy.”

Ye Xi, “Big pervert!”

Smack!

Without warning, Shen Xiulin suddenly changed the subject. He asked, “Are you going to sleep in before work again?”

Ye Xi choked. Thinking Shen Xiulin had made a mistake, he tried to force the conversation back to the topic at hand, “…Young Master Huangfu is a big scoundrel!”

Smack!

After the smack, Shen Xiulin paused for two seconds, then continued in a gentle voice, “Are you going to be late for work again?”

With the sudden change of tact by Shen Xiulin, their roles shifted from Huangfu X and Murong X back to CEO and employee, and the reason for the spanking turned from Murong X’s escape from matrimony to Ye Xi being late for work. Ye Xi’s face immediately exploded into a bloody-red hue, his voice choked in his throat and no sounds came out, “…”

Sir, what are you getting at, sir! Which company’s CEO would personally spank an employee for being late to work? We’ve gone so far off script, not even wild horses could drag the story back, alright?!

Smack!

“Tell me,” Shen Xiulin patted Ye Xi’s buttocks, “Are you going to be late for work again?”

Ye Xi’s brain buzzed loudly, he stuttered as he tried to remind the chief executive, “C-Could you ask something else?”

Smack!

Shen Xiulin ignored Ye Xi’s request and continued his interrogation, “The office is so close to the subway exit and you’re still late all the time, what excuse do you have for letting me down?”

Ye Xi struggled to get up and bellowed as he exploded, “This is not the time to discuss me being late for work! Focus on the quest! The quest!”

“What time is your alarm clock set to?” Shen Xiulin continued to ignore Ye Xi and spanked him again.

“S-Seven.” Ye Xi blushed from ear to ear. His squirming was subdued by Shen Xiulin’s overwhelming strength, which Ye Xi was unable to resist at all.

Smack!

Shen Xiulin asked in a cold voice, “Why don’t you set your alarm clock to half past six?”

Ye Xi almost cried when this depressing topic was brought up. He grumbled, “I can’t wake up at half past six!”

Smack!

Shen Xiulin continued his questioning, “If you can’t wake up so early, then why don’t you go to bed earlier?”

Unexpectedly, Ye Xi found himself beginning to feel good from the spanking. So, he begged in a genuine whimper this time, “Because playing on my phone is so much fun! Sir, please stop messing around. Can we please get back to the quest?”

Shen Xiulin immediately refused, “No.”

Ye Xi became livid and speechless, “…”

Oh no! It looks like the Chief Executive has finally gone mad!

Smack!

Shen Xiulin asked in a chilly voice, “If you like playing on your phone so much, why don’t you message me on Wechat at night?”

Ye Xi’s brain blew a fuse from the torment, he almost bellowed with rage as he retorted, “What kind of retard would be so bored, he’d message his boss at night?!”

Smack!

Shen Xiulin griped, “But you didn’t send me any texts on New Year’s or other festivals either…”

Ye Xi barked with fury, “I have manager-phobia! Plus, you’re so scary all the time and you constantly pull me into your office, why would I want to speak to you at all unless I have to?!”

However, at this very moment, Ye Xi’s phobia seemed to have vanished without a trace. Not only did he dare to shout at the chief executive at the top of his voice, if Shen Xiulin would loosen his hold on him, Ye Xi felt like he could get into a fist fight with him!

Smack!

Shen Xiulin retorted with displeasure, “I’m not scary.”

The pain from his buttocks and the friction between his crotch and Shen Xiulin’s thighs mingled into a rather peculiar sensation, forming a bizarre harmony between them. Ye Xi struggled even harder as he discovered the strange sensations coming from his body. However, the more he struggled, the greater the friction became, until his limbs became limp and patches of crimson crept over his face. Coincidentally, Shen Xiulin chose this moment to caress the redness on Ye Xi’s backside. He asked in a soft, gentle voice, “Did I hurt you?”

Ye Xi shuddered from his touch, then his body tensed all over, “Mmm…”

Then Ye Xi tragically…and pitifully…came on his boss’s trousers…

As if time was frozen in place, the cabin became so quiet that both of their rapid breaths and elevated heartbeats could be clearly heard.

After a long pause, Shen Xiulin slowly loosened the hand on Ye Xi’s back. Ye Xi dazed for a moment, he hastily stood up and straightened his clothes, then stared at the mysterious rainbow-coloured liquid on Shen Xiulin’s trousers like he had seen a ghost.

“Sit.” Shen Xiulin calmly patted the sofa beside him, as if nothing had happened.

“…” Ye Xi’s legs wavered, he was so traumatised that he almost fainted on the spot.

Aaargh!!! What just happened?

 

Author’s Notes:

The chief executive: I was so upset, I laid out all my cards on the table!

Confessing his feelings doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll get together…

Everyone in the whole world including the chief executive knows that Ye Xi is attracted to him, except for Ye Xi, because he’s dense, hahahahaha
