Eternal Love Short Stories

Punishment

"SEVENTEENTH!"

"Seventeenth, come here!"

"Where are you, Seventeenth?! I want you to come right now!"

Another typical day at Kunlun. Si Yin has played another cruel trick on her seniors. She had spread Zhe Yan's sweetened peach wine all over their sheets and ants were now crawling all over. The seniors were horrified when they woke in the morning.

Small hand clamped over mouth, Si Yin burst into silent laughter as she heard her seniors shout for her.

"Serves you all right for scolding me yesterday!" She whispered under her breath.

Running to the lotus pond where no one would ever think to search for her, she found Shifu playing the zither, her favourite tune.

"Shifu!" She said, skipping to sit next to him.

Smiling softly, he said, "Seventeenth, your seniors' yelling disrupted the peace here. What did you do again?"

"I just spread a bit of wine on their sheets. They scolded me yesterday!" She said indignantly, her fists clenching again.

Feeling another smile rise, he said, "Why?"

"Because I spilled some peach juice on them." Was the meek reply.

Mo Yuan laughed out loud. "Well, that scolding was justified."

"I don't care! But today I have my revenge." She smiled again, leaning against her Shifu.

And so they sat there, enjoying the morning air and the music that Mo Yuan played, until they heard running steps.

"SEVENTEENTH, THERE YOU ARE!" Die Feng rushed up to her and grabbed her wrist. "You are in so much trouble now. We're all mad at you!"

She squealed in fright and looked at her Shifu, but her Shifu just smiled and told her, "You really shouldn't have
done that Seventeenth. Go and do whatever your seniors ask for compensation."

She widened her eyes. Her Shifu would just let her be punished by her seniors?

Her seniors made her do their chores for a whole week. She grumbled, cried and complained, but it was no use. But her mind began working on a big bad idea.

The next day, the seniors woke up yelling again.
