Chapter 5 The turtle can't stay at school anymore

Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin stood at the shop entrance, staring at each other.

Yang Huimin didn't expect to run into her students here. Being seen by her students in her private state made her a little embarrassed.

However, she was also quite surprised, because in her mind Jiang Xun was very ordinary and unremarkable in every way.

But the Jiang Xun before me was tall and upright, with a fair and handsome face, sharp facial features, and clear and bright eyes, all hidden beneath his loose-fitting sports uniform.

He was clearly a sunny and handsome young man.

If you look closely, Jiang Xun in front of you is not much different from the one at school, except that he looks a little fairer and taller.

Perhaps it was simply a matter of consciously straightening one's back or performing a deep facial cleanse.

It seems I haven't been paying enough attention to my students before; I didn't even notice that this kid has the face of a campus heartthrob.

Jiang Xun was also very surprised; he hadn't expected his English teacher to be so different.

Yang Huimin was wearing a white chiffon blouse, with the third button creating subtle wrinkles due to her full bust.

It makes you worry that the buttons might burst under the strain.

The shirt was tucked into a black high-waisted mini skirt, revealing a pair of long, straight, wine glass-shaped legs.

Her long, black hair, which she usually wore in a ponytail or a bun, was now casually draped over her shoulders and back.
Her hair was permed into soft waves, exuding a touch of languor and charm.

This woman in black stockings, a short skirt, and wavy hair looks completely different from how she looked in school.

"Jiang Xun, is this your family's shop? Where are the adults in the shop?"

Yang Huimin awkwardly smoothed the hair behind her ear, forcing herself to maintain the aloof demeanor of a teacher at the school.

She usually tries to dress conservatively at school, but she never expected that her students would see her dressed a little sexier today.

Jiang Xun casually looked away, a harmless smile on his face.

“Teacher Yang, this shop is jointly owned by my dad and my uncle. They are currently out on business, so I’m here to help look after it.”

Hearing this, Yang Huimin let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief, then said with feigned regret:
"Okay, I was originally thinking of seeing if your shop could fix cars, but since your parents aren't here, I'll have to go somewhere else."

"No, teacher!" Jiang Xun quickly said. "I can fix cars."

He had just mastered basic auto repair skills and didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to practice.

"You?" Yang Huimin looked at him suspiciously.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Jiang Xun, it's just that he was a high school student, how could he possibly be able to fix cars?

It is now 2010, and there are fewer than one million private cars in the entire Guizhou province.

There are only two places in the county that can repair cars, otherwise Yang Huimin wouldn't have asked a motorcycle shop.

“My uncle knows how to fix things. I learned from him. How about I take a look for you?” Jiang Xun made up a story on the spot.

“Okay.” Although Yang Huimin felt a little awkward dressing like this when interacting with students, she still decided to let Jiang Xun try it.

After all, whether my car can even handle driving from here to the auto repair shop in the south of the city is a question.

Jiang Xun skillfully opened the Chevrolet's hood, checked the inside, and casually asked:
"Teacher, what's wrong with your car?"

"It must be a tire blowout," Yang Huimin said uncertainly.

Jiang Xun's forehead creased with annoyance. Why didn't you say so earlier?

He bent down to check the car's tires, but forgot to turn off the auto-aiming feature. Luckily, Yang Huimin didn't notice.

"As expected, the tire blew out." Jiang Xun quickly concluded.

"Teacher, did you call your boyfriend?" Jiang Xun asked seemingly casually.

Yang Huimin casually replied, "I don't have a boyfriend." It's understandable to feel a little embarrassed when a student asks such a personal question.

"What about the spare tire?" Jiang Xun asked again.

Yang Huimin's face darkened, and she stared at Jiang Xun expressionlessly, "Do you think a teacher is the type to keep a backup plan?"

Jiang Xun was speechless. What a lame joke! He said irritably:
"I'm asking about your car's spare tire."

"Ah? I don't know." Yang Huimin's pretty face immediately turned red, and she quickly turned her head away.

I felt a little embarrassed, but also inexplicably amused, so I pursed my lips and forced myself not to laugh.

Jiang Xun found her suppressed laughter rather cute, so he couldn't help but tease her:

"Teacher, have you ever heard of the Chinese proverb, 'The tortoise runs a day school—'?"

"A commuter school?" Yang Huimin countered playfully, actually just trying to deflect the awkwardness from before.

"I can't stay at school anymore," Jiang Xun replied seriously.

"Turtle... Pfft!" Yang Huimin was stunned for a moment before she realized what it meant and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This time, I really couldn't hold back my laughter.

Her previously feigned aloofness instantly melted away, transforming her into a charming and alluring woman.

Jiang Xun exclaimed sincerely, "Teacher, you look so beautiful when you smile. You should smile more."

Yang Huimin immediately stopped smiling, but no longer pretended to be aloof. Instead, she snorted and said, "You mean, a teacher doesn't look good if she doesn't smile, right?"

She herself didn't realize that her tone when chatting with Jiang Xun had suddenly become much more casual, no longer as stiff and distant as before.

"Of course not," Jiang Xun said as he opened the trunk.
"When you are not smiling, you are the goddess of ice and snow; when you smile, you are the goddess of the sun."

This would be considered a cheesy pickup line in later generations, but Jiang Xun said it without batting an eye.

However, these words still have a lot of impact today.

In this era, few people use the word "goddess" to describe someone's beauty, but without a doubt, it's hard for any woman to resist that term.

Yang Huimin was no exception; she felt inexplicably pleased.

She rolled her eyes at Jiang Xun and snorted:
"Xiao Jiang, you're really bold to talk to a teacher like that."

Jiang Xun keenly noticed the change in how Yang Huimin addressed him, which was a very good sign.

This means that Yang Huimin is no longer as indifferent to him as she is to ordinary underachieving students; on the contrary, she is showing a bit of affection towards him.

He then said innocently, "Teacher, isn't that what you said? At school we are teacher and student, but can we be friends with you outside of school?"

Yang Huimin was speechless after Jiang Xun's words, and could only retort angrily:

"I never knew you were so glib. You were such a smooth talker back then. All that honesty and sullen act at school was just an act, wasn't it?"

"Teacher, this is how I am. It seems you don't care about me at all." Jiang Xun turned the tables, successfully leaving Yang Huimin speechless.

At this moment, Yang Huimin was surprised to see Jiang Xun take a spare tire out from under the trunk mat.
And in no time, he skillfully transferred it to the car, as if he had practiced it countless times.

Yang Huimin looked at the tall and handsome student in front of her with a complicated expression.

Such a beautiful appearance, and such an interesting soul, how come he doesn't like reading? Is he going to be a car mechanic in the future?
