Chapter 14 - Did You Get Bullied?

Ethan realized that he could only lift metals using his powers up to a certain weight limit. Apparently, about 10 kg and he could lift as many items as he wanted as long as they were within the weight limit.

Of course, it was way lower than what he can physically lift using his hands, but the two necessarily can't be compared equally, especially since he can move and bend metals without touching using his powers.

Still, the sturdier the metal was, the more difficult it was for him to bend it. For instance, he tried to bend the dumbbells but failed, unlike the soda can he crushed earlier.

He also deduced that the lesser the amount of metal in an object was, the less control he would have over it unless he strains himself to focus more.

He took a small notepad and noted down his deductions just so that they might be helpful later on.

He even had metal strings on his bed which he had stripped away from his old broken guitar, wanting to test his powers on them and see how much control he could have over an object, and decided to start with the simple ones.

But now he was just feeling sleepy and switched off the lights as he lazily walked towards his bed and was about to open the curtains to let some moonlight inside when…

*Knock! Knock!*

"Whoa!" Ethan was startled for a moment when he suddenly saw a slender shadow behind the curtains.

But then he calmed down, realizing the only person who would knock at his window at this time as he drew back the curtains.

Upon drawing back the curtains, he saw the face of a glamorous beauty with her usually inexpressive face staring at him with her cold dewy blue eyes.

No matter how many times this has happened, he would sometimes get startled by her sneaking into his house. He was glad that nobody would see her climbing up his house since his window was located on the backside, away from the street.

"Sui…" Ethan mumbled in a daze as he opened the windows, and she jumped onto his bed just like that.

His eyes, as if drawn by a magnet, unconsciously caressed over her body and saw that she was wearing a tight sleeveless gray t-shirt that perfectly emphasized her ample soft breasts, letting him see a glimpse of her tender E-cup upper breasts and her deep cleavage.

This sight, coupled with her tight shorts clinging to her soft thighs while revealing her slender, smooth legs, made his mind go blank no matter how many times he had seen her like this.

He didn't know how Sui was not feeling the least embarrassed about dressing like this while visiting him. It made him wonder if she saw him as a brother or something since that would be the worst zone he could be in.

Still, he didn't dare to assume anything unless and until he could see a clear green signal. He just couldn't ruin his chances with her just because of a momentary horny thought.

And only after appreciating her body subtly did he finally notice the laptop in her hand, which she would bring as usual to help her complete her assignments as promised.

Complete her assignments for her, and he would get to learn martial arts from her for free. This was the deal he made with her in the past and how he became friends with her.

Even though she was older than him by at least three years and in the final year of her college life, he was the one who helped her with her studies and even completed her assignments. Apparently, she was poor at studies but only after what happened today did he realize why.

Still, he was always happy to help her out with her assignments and would have anyway, even if he didn't have any deal with her.

The only reason she sneaked into his room like this was that she said she didn't want to disturb his mother at night.

This made sense, and he was happy that Sui thought about his mother as well while thinking of this. This is why he liked her. She might seem cold and indifferent on the outside, but she had a soft heart.

"Before we begin, I have something to ask you…" Sui's sweet yet cool voice pulled Ethan's mind back to reality.

"Eh? Ask me what?" Ethan asked in a puzzled tone as he saw Sui place the laptop aside and look at him with squinted eyes as she slowly crawled closer to him.

Ethan took a deep breath as she saw her approaching him with a strange gaze and wondered what she was up to.

Sui placed her hands beside his legs and asked as her cold blue eyes gazed at his, a few inches away, "Tell me…did you get bullied in college today?"

'How did she know??' Ethan was sure that other than Nolan, nobody on the outside could know about him getting bullied, especially since he was remaining silent about it.

Still, he didn't maintain his silence and immediately answered casually with a chuckle, "Me? Getting bullied? Nah…no way. Who told you that?"

Sui narrowed her eyes even more as she coldly snorted, "You are lying. But your body won't."

"Wait-what!" Before Ethan could say anything, Sui pushed him down on the bed as she sat over his hips, her soft pert buttocks dangerously sitting over his nether region.

Ethan gulped as he tried to get up, but she simply pressed down on his chest with her dainty hand, and he was again lying flat on the bed, unable to shake her off.

And just like that, she was about to roll his shirt upwards when Ethan suddenly grabbed her hands, "Hey! What do you think you are doing??"

"Why are you getting worried? I thought you said you didn't get bullied. Then your body must not have any kind of bruises or swelling," Sui paused her hands as she looked into his eyes, making Ethan realize that he almost misunderstood her intentions. Still, he knew that she was always adamant about getting down to the bottom of things.

Ethan also knew that if he tried to stop her, then he would only just look suspicious, and since he already knew that his injuries somehow magically disappeared, he let go of her hands and decided to let her have a look, "Alright.. I have nothing to hide," Ethan shrugged with a smile.
