Madam, Please Behave
Chapter 363: Liu Xiazhi’s Personal Charm

Liu Xiazhi was facing the biggest crisis of her life.

Her dad had signed her up for this dance class. Liu Xiazhi didn’t exactly hate dancing, and at first, she was even a little grateful—it meant she could escape Zhou Shiyan’s tutoring sessions.

But life loves throwing curveballs.

At this class, she ran into a set of triplet sisters who had also enrolled.

She had noticed them on the very day they all signed up.

Since then, she and Feng Shuyan had spent several lessons carefully crafting a variety of countermeasures.

The plans were solid… but never got put into action.

During the school term, Liu Xiazhi and Feng Shuyan only attended weekend full-day sessions.

And during those sessions, they hadn’t seen the triplets once.

They had assumed the three girls were kicked out for being too chubby... but this afternoon, when the triplets finally showed up for class, Liu Xiazhi realized just how naïve she had been.

Turns out, the triplets hadn’t been absent for any disciplinary reason—they were just busy preparing for final exams back then.

Now that the New Year was over and it was winter break, the three had just returned from their hometown and had come straight to class.

And the moment they saw Liu Xiazhi, they lit up with curiosity.

That curiosity soon turned into excitement.

The triplets didn’t actually like dancing.

They were only there because their parents forced them to attend.

Originally, they thought learning dance would be boring and painful—but who knew…

They’d run into Liu Xiazhi!

They really wanted to mess with her a bit…

They thought about it, but with the teacher around, none of them dared push too far.

So, they resigned themselves to obediently learning the basics.

Then came the leg stretches… and they were terrified.

They watched other students, who had been attending for a while, burst into tears during the stretching drills—

Suddenly, bullying Liu Xiazhi was the furthest thing from their minds.

Big Sis, Second Sis, Little Sis—

The three stood frozen, watching a nearby girl crying so hard her snot was dripping down her face.

Even though the dance studio was warm, the triplets felt a chill shoot up from the soles of their feet.

Pure fear.

They all instinctively took a step back.

One thought ran through all their minds—“We gotta get out of here.”

The youngest sister mumbled nervously,

“What do we do? That has to hurt so much…”

“Exactly!”

The eldest chimed in.

“We need a plan…”

The middle sister, usually the brain of the trio, frowned deeply and started brainstorming.

But after a few seconds… she gave up.

Because she couldn’t think of anything that could help.

As a woman approached to assist with their stretches, the three of them instinctively backed away in perfect sync.

When the helper started guiding them into position, the triplets’ faces looked like they were on the verge of tears.

The older girl assigned to help them was very gentle.

Seeing how scared the three were, she comforted them softly:

“Don’t worry—it doesn’t hurt at all.”

The triplets exchanged skeptical glances, then hesitantly started the stretches.

They used just a little force, and then—

Big Sis: “AAAHHHHHH!!! IT HURTS!!!”

Second Sis: “I’m gonna die! Mom, I wanna go home!!”

Little Sis: “WAAAAHHH…”

Their voices were so loud that everyone else in the studio stopped what they were doing and turned to look.

The older girl was clearly a kind person.

But when the triplets started wailing before they’d even begun real stretching, she panicked.

She stood awkwardly to the side, unsure what to do.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiazhi and Feng Shuyan quietly watched the scene unfold.

Seeing the three girls—who used to call her nasty nicknames—screaming in agony…

Liu Xiazhi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

She raised her hand to cover her mouth like she’d just gotten away with something naughty, giggling with glee.

“Hehehehe!”

Then, still laughing, she turned to Feng Shuyan, her voice full of mischief:

“This is what they get for bullying me!”

“Mhm.”

Feng Shuyan nodded seriously in agreement.

But their joy didn’t last long.

The kind upperclassman who’d been helping the triplets suddenly turned toward Liu Xiazhi and said,

“Xiazhi, can you come help me for a bit?”

“……”

Liu Xiazhi froze mid-laugh.

Her first instinct was to refuse.

She opened her mouth, ready to decline—but then stopped herself.

She widened her eyes slightly.

Suddenly, it hit her—

This was the perfect chance to settle old scores.

Time to repay the past and present all at once!

That thought alone made Liu Xiazhi a little giddy.

She jumped up from the floor and jogged over to the triplets.

Standing in front of the upperclassman, she patted her chest confidently.

“Leave it to me!”

“Thanks, sorry to trouble you. There are still more newcomers I need to check on…”

“No problem!”

After giving her a few quick pointers, the upperclassman walked off—

Leaving Liu Xiazhi alone with the three trembling sisters.

Watching them rub their freshly stretched legs, grimacing in pain,

a very evil idea popped into Liu Xiazhi’s mind.

But—

That thought only lingered for a few seconds.

Looking at the triplets’ tear-streaked, pitiful faces,

she suddenly remembered what it was like when she first started learning dance…

She had been just like them.

Yes, they were super annoying.

But as Liu Xiazhi calmed down, she had a realization.

She didn’t want to take petty revenge.

Her dad never taught her to win using cheap tricks.

A woman should earn respect fair and square—

not through low blows and grudges.

With that thought, the smirk faded from her face.

Her tone softened.

“You three don’t need to rush. When it comes to stretching, you have to go slow.”

Still reeling from the pain, the triplets looked up at her in surprise.

Liu Xiazhi walked over to a lower barre and pointed at it.

“Let’s start with this one. Put your leg up, and when you feel a mild tingling or just a little bit of pain, you can stop there.

Also—remember to straighten your other leg. Don’t bend it.”

She explained with surprising professionalism, her tone steady and serious—none of her usual hyper energy in sight.

To the triplets, at that moment—

Liu Xiazhi had become a teacher.

A gentle, patient teacher.

As they listened to her clear instructions, the three girls exchanged glances.

For the first time, they realized…

Maybe they had been too harsh on Liu Xiazhi.

And maybe—

She wasn’t so bad after all.
