The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Bi Antong hurriedly switched her feet back to the starting position and blamed me, saying, "It's all your fault for suddenly coming back and knocking on the door. I was changing clothes, you scared me..."

Okay, so this can be blamed on...

"But why did you take my shirt out when you were changing clothes and throw it under the bed? Are you going to use it as a mop?" He walked to the bedside, squatted down, and picked up my shirt. I wasn't mistaken, it was indeed mine, not Bi Antong's.

Chapter 46, Question 166: Who is the mole?

"Huh? Why are there drool marks on it..."

Before I knew it, Bi Antong had snatched the shirt from my hand and said, "Maybe Pineapple crawled under the bed and gnawed on it. I'll just put it in the washing machine to wash."

I glanced at the pineapple hiding in the corner, pretending to be well-behaved. It must have somehow dragged my shirt under the bed to play with it. I glared at the pineapple looking at me, and it immediately meowed and looked at Bi Antong.

What, you have the lady of the house backing you up?

"What brings you in here?"

As Bi Antong asked, she ran her fingers through her slightly messy hair. The rosy blush on her face hadn't completely faded, making her look like she'd just finished exercising. It made my heart flutter; she was so incredibly tempting.

But when Bi Antong noticed my gaze, instead of giving me a third warning, she lowered her head as if she didn't want me to see her.

"What is it? Tell me quickly..." Bi Antong urged.

"Oh... I'm planning to go on a trip tomorrow... do you want to come along?"

Although I'm really looking forward to traveling with Bi Antong, because having a beautiful companion would definitely be a wonderful part of the trip, she might be busy with live streaming and taking care of her mother, so she might not be able to go. But I still want to extend an invitation anyway.

However, Bi Antong nodded without hesitation, even a little excited, which completely stunned me. Seeing my surprised look, Bi Antong quickly said, "I didn't want to go on a trip with you. It's just that my mom wants me to get some fresh air during the holidays. She's worried that I'm too tired from studying, live streaming, and taking care of her all day... so I thought I'd come with you."

If that's the case, then I'm truly both happy and worried. I'm happy that Bi Antong can come along, but I'm worried because three women make a drama, and now there are four...

I explained the situation truthfully, saying, "Actually, it wasn't just the two of us..."

Bi Antong's expression immediately changed. His slightly excited demeanor disappeared, replaced by... vigilance?

"A thoughtful lemon..."

But Bi Antong's expression became even more wary. Something wasn't right. Before, when I was going out shopping with Xin Ning, Bi Antong had happily come along, trying to get on good terms with her sister-in-law...

"And Ye Zhi..."

Bi Antong frowned and said, "Why is she here too? Are you that familiar with her?"

I touched my nose and said, "Well, mainly... she also felt that work was too tiring, and she wanted to go on a trip to relieve stress..."

complete

Bi Antong's expression had completely lost any joy of anticipation for the trip; her gaze was unmistakably cold as she stared at me...

I swallowed hard, and continued under her icy gaze, "Actually, there's one last one, Jiang Yanyi, the middle school student who came to our house for tutoring last time..."

“She’s only in junior high!” Bi Antong looked at me in disbelief.

"She is indeed in junior high school, but there's no rule against junior high students going on trips..." I think Bi Antong is making a fuss over nothing; there are plenty of underage groups going on trips.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Bi Antong threw the shirt at me, then walked closer and started hitting me, repeatedly cursing, "You beast! You love beast! You even prey on middle school students!!"

I finally realized that Bi Antong had misunderstood me. I quickly grabbed her two small hands that were slapping my hands and explained, "What are you thinking? She's just a tutor, and she was the one who suggested this trip. Otherwise, I wouldn't have planned to go on a trip..."

Bi Antong stopped struggling and frowned, asking, "Why did she suggest going on a trip with you?"

"She was originally going to Thailand with her parents, but she didn't want to go with them, so she said she would go on a trip with me while she was having tutoring, and her father agreed."

Bi Antong was still looking at me with a suspicious gaze. I was getting a little impatient with her questioning and asked, "So, are you going or not?"

Bi Antong gave a soft hum, but still nodded.

So the group has now grown to five people...

Next, I went to the living room to call Hua Xinning and explain the situation. She was initially very excited when she thought it was just the two of us traveling alone, but like Bi Antong, her excitement level dropped considerably when she heard that other people were joining us...

"Brother, you just said that Senior Sister Antong is also here?" Hua Xinning asked me for confirmation on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, there are five of us now, including you."

Actually, I also wanted to invite Lu Xiaojun and Luo Yao, but a young lady like Lu Xiaojun probably has other better plans with her family, so I didn't want to trouble her. As for Luo Yao, she must have a performance scheduled during the National Day holiday, which is a peak travel period. I was worried that mentioning it to her would also put her in a difficult position. If she went, it would interfere with her career, and if she didn't go, it would be a disservice to my invitation. So I decided it was better not to mention it.

While Hua Xinning and I were still on the phone, Lu Xiaojun called. I was a little surprised, so I hung up on Xinning and went to answer Lu Xiaojun's call.

"Teacher, are you going on a trip?"

Holy crap, there's a mole!

"Yes...that's right."

"I want to go too! I really want to travel with my teacher!"

Of course, I agreed. If we go to Sanya, I'll definitely see Lu Xiaojun in her swimsuit on the beach. Just thinking about Lu Xiaojun's innocent and helpless appearance, and how I could find a secluded corner on the beach to do whatever I wanted to her... Damn, I'm getting the wrong idea again.

This isn't my fault. I dare say that most men have moments when they can't help but fantasize. I'm not a saint, so I'm no exception, right? Fantasizing isn't a crime; it's just that you can't put it into practice.

The ridiculous thing is, Luo Yao also called me. Could it be a coincidence...?

"Brother Tusheng didn't even invite me on your trip! How awful! I was so looking forward to seeing you..."

"I'm not worried about affecting your performance or anything..." I quickly explained.

"Performances are nothing compared to traveling with my brother Tusheng! Although I've performed in many places, I've never gone on a long trip with him before~"

"That's great! We're planning to go to Sanya tomorrow."

"But those vixens are so annoying, they all followed us!!"

How did Luo Yao find out? Who is the mole?

So I asked, "Yaoyao, who told you I was going on a trip?"

"I don't know who it was. It was a message from an unknown number saying that Brother Tusheng was going on a trip, and that those fox spirits were going too."

After ending the call with Luo Yao, I couldn't help but glance at Bi Antong in the room. Could she have told anyone? But given her jealous nature, wouldn't telling anyone mean even more women were on the itinerary? This is such a contradiction…

Could it be Hua Xinning? But Lu Xiaojun had already called when she was talking to me, and it's really unbelievable that she would call Luo Yao, her lifelong rival.

So who could it be? Ye Zhi? She doesn't seem like the type to enjoy crowds, let alone send a message to someone else. Could it be Jiang Yanyi, the last person in the know? How could she possibly have Lu Xiaojun's contact information...?

Things are starting to get confusing...

Chapter 47, page 167: How could it be possible to build a harem!

Why did someone specifically use an unknown number to send a message to notify me? Why didn't they just say so directly? Going on a trip isn't something shameful. That's why I don't want to find out anymore; after all, it's not a big deal.

The trip has unknowingly grown to seven people including me, and plane tickets are in high demand...

Just as I was about to open the booking page to check if there were any flights to Sanya for tomorrow, another call came in from an unknown number. Could it be the same unknown number that Luo Yao mentioned?

However, when I answered the call and heard that simple, honest voice, I knew I was wrong.

"Hey, Teacher Hua, are you going on a trip? Take me with you! I'm a travel expert, taking me is like having a free tour guide, you're really lucky!"

"So, Ms. Xu, may I ask which places you've been to?" I never expected this guy to call. I wanted to curse that mole for being brainless. If we had taken Xu Lehan along, she would have been chattering on and on the way.

"I've been to Atlantis, the Pyramids of Pharaohs, Rainbow Windmill Island, the Great Wall, the Qinyuan Spring, the Cherry Blossom Mt. Fuji... so many, I can't even count them all, and I always went by car, so I'm definitely a guide."

I was shocked. I never imagined she had actually traveled all over the world, and by car no less! It was unbelievable! But while the names seemed familiar, something felt off, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

"Whether or not you have a tour guide isn't the problem. The problem is, shouldn't you take advantage of the holiday to study? Don't forget you failed ten subjects! It would take you a long time to study on your own, so why not use the holiday to catch up?"

"Waaaaah, you're bullying me! Just you wait, I'll find someone to go up against you right now!"

Just as I was completely bewildered, a familiar baritone voice appeared on my phone.

"Hello, is this Teacher Hua? This is Lehan's father."

It turns out her dad moved in to argue with me.

Yes, what's wrong?

"Here's the thing, Lehan failed ten subjects and is busy making up for them, which means she won't have any more time to play. She also has to write a novel, so why not let her spend her last vacation carefree? After traveling, she can devote herself to her studies. What do you think, Teacher Hua?"

Since Xu Lehan's father had already said so, I couldn't say anything, so I agreed. Xu Lehan snatched back her phone and said to me triumphantly, "Hehe, now Teacher Hua has no objections, right? I promise I'll study hard when I get back!"

Who doesn't love to play? I understand, so I didn't force her to study during the holiday. I said, "It's good that you can promise. I'll arrange the details and let you know about booking the tickets tonight."

"OK OK~"

"Honey, Lehan, who are you talking to? What do you mean you're back to study?"

"Lehan, hang up the phone now, stop talking! Your mom's downstairs! Hurry!"

The anxious voice of Le Han's father, Xu Qingshan, came from the other end of the phone, and then the call ended. I knew what was going on without even guessing; he was probably worried that his mother, Liao Ning, would catch them in the act, and the two of them had teamed up...

After all, Liao Ning is much stricter with her daughter than Xu Qingshan is. She definitely wouldn't allow her daughter to go on a trip instead of studying. I just wonder how they're going to confront their mother tonight...

After dinner, we discussed the trip. I added the seven girls who were going on the trip to a group chat I created. As soon as I did this, I suddenly had a strange feeling. I had created group chats with Liao Zhengyang and others in college before, but those were normal friendships. This time, however, everyone except me was a girl, and there were four girls in the group who were in ambiguous relationships with me...

Especially when it comes to editing the group name, what should I write? Harem? Pshaw! It should be "National Day Trip Squad"!

They all joined the group quickly, but no one sent any messages or spoke. I didn't know if they were lurking or just not paying attention. I looked at Bi Antong sitting next to me on the sofa. Although she was holding her phone, she wasn't paying attention to the group chat. So I sent a message in the group: "Let's all talk about our travel plans. The preliminary plan is Sanya."

Xu Lehan quickly replied: Sanya is great! I haven't been to the beach to surf and play in the water for so long~ There are also hot springs. I heard that soaking in hot springs is good for breast growth. I want to go, I want to go~ I'll try to grow to an E cup this year!

Ignore it, move on to the next one.

After a while, apart from Xu Lehan and my message, no one else commented.

"Tongtong, aren't you going to say something?" I asked Bi Antong, who was next to me.

"What's there to say?" Bi Antong asked in return.

"About where to travel..."

"You can just make the decision yourself, is it really necessary to go through all that trouble of creating a group chat to discuss it..."

This is just to respect your opinions...

So I tagged all the members, but only Xu Lehan responded: What's wrong? Have you decided to go to Sanya?

I tagged everyone again, but still no response. Speechless, I messaged: Are you all busy? When are you free to discuss travel arrangements?

In the end, only Xu Lehan responded to me: "Not busy, just enjoying the moonlight after dinner."
