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

(Sister Ye Zhi wouldn't stoop to arguing with these immature little girls.)

Chapter 5, Section 177: Infidelity

Of course, don't get me wrong, I wasn't just trying to take advantage of Bi Antong. I wanted to move her legs away because she was about to get my shoes dirty. They were cheap AJ1s, but they were pure white and difficult to clean...

To my surprise, Bi Antong didn't yell like Xu Lehan. Instead, she silently warned me in a low voice, "Take your pig's trotters away!"

I glanced at Bi Antong sideways; her face was already slightly red, clearly embarrassed by my rash behavior.

"I will naturally stop if you let go of your foot; otherwise, I will have to use my hands to forcibly move your leg away."

“I won’t give in!” Bi Antong insisted to me.

I glanced at the other people at the table, especially Xu Lehan, who was the most troublesome person next to me. Only after I was sure that she had been intimidated into eating obediently did I begin to act. I forcefully moved Bi Antong's leg away, but I couldn't grip it too tightly because I was worried that I might break her delicate leg with my strength... Although it wasn't that serious, I still didn't want to hurt her.

So I had no choice but to push, forcefully pushing her legs away in other directions while simultaneously trying to move my feet out of the way. But I dared not make too much noise or movement, so I couldn't exert any force. As a result, Bi Antong's other leg pressed down at the same time, making it impossible for me to push her away.

So when I changed my posture slightly to try and exert more force, Luo Yao called out to me, "Brother Tusheng, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale? You seem to be struggling."

Except for Ye Zhi, who was still looking at her phone, everyone else looked over. I immediately stopped what I was doing and raised the custard bun in my left hand to cover up my mistake, saying, "It's nothing, it's just that this custard bun is a bit dry and it's a little hard to swallow. I'll just have some soup..."

So I put down the bun with my left hand, picked up the soup and took a sip. After I told everyone I was fine, they continued eating their lunch.

I heard Bi Antong smugly humming beside me, as if I couldn't do anything about her.

"I'll give you one more chance, are you sure you don't want to let go?"

"No, not loose."

Then don't blame me for being rude. So I started to caress the hem of her dress. Below the hem was her thigh. Bi Antong's body stiffened instantly, and her face turned even redder.

Will you loosen your grip or not?

Bi Antong bit her lip and stubbornly said, "I won't!"

Okay, my shoes are dirty, that's all I can do now. I have to get my money back somehow. So I found the hem of my skirt and flipped it up a little. When Bi Antong noticed my movement, she quickly freed the hand that was holding the bowl and reached under the table to hold my hand down to stop me.

"You pervert, you still want to stick it in?!" Bi Antong said through gritted teeth, her face flushed with embarrassment.

It's okay to touch it through a skirt, but why can't I touch it directly? What's the difference?

Since she held my hand down and wouldn't let me touch her, I changed my strategy and grabbed her soft, boneless little hand in return. Bi Antong's hand immediately lost its strength, as if she hadn't expected my move.

"You won't let go, huh? Then I'll hold your hand while we eat. There are so many people watching, hmph." Since force doesn't work, I'll have to try a softer approach. I'll make her blush and lose her ability to attack.

Sure enough, Bi Antong glanced at the table in a panic. Luo Yao was teaching Jiang Yan about being a trainee, while Hua Xinning was engrossed in chatting with Lu Xiaojun. Ye Zhi was fine, and Xu Lehan, who was being scolded by me, was picking at her rice one grain at a time, so no one paid any attention to her.

Bi Antong breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer afraid of my threats. She retorted sharply, "Fine, I'll shake your hand. What are you afraid of?"

Okay, screenshot as proof.

Holding Bi Antong's soft, boneless, silky hand, I felt as if I had returned to the sweet days of our courtship. Only lovers would hold hands like this. I glanced at Bi Antong; her face was flushed, but she calmly blew on the hot porridge on the spoon to cool it down. However, she didn't drink it after blowing on it for a long time. Perhaps her blushing face was so hot that the air she blew out was also hot...

I scratched her palm with my thumb, and Bi Antong straightened up abruptly as if she had been electrocuted. I guess this small movement was enough to make her, who had never been in a relationship, sensitive.

"Loose or not?"

"Hmph, that's all it is," Bi Antong said stubbornly, her face flushed.

is it?

Bi Antong is still too inexperienced. She's never even held hands with a boy before. How can she compete with me, a seasoned veteran in the dating world? Does she think that's all she's capable of?

I'm going to stand up to her today, and I'll make her so ashamed that she'll surrender obediently!

So I let go of her little hand. Bi Antong looked at me with a puzzled expression, not understanding what I was up to. But she quickly realized, because I had already quietly placed my hand on her waist. With just a gentle touch, Bi Antong immediately closed her legs slightly...

"How about this level?"

Bi Antong, suppressing her immense shyness, managed to squeeze out a voice: "Well, that's all."

So he slowly moved his hand to the back of her waist, above her buttocks, almost as if he were going to put his arm around her in front of so many people.

I whispered again, "If you're still not convinced, my hand is going to move down."

That's right, below that is her rounded buttocks.

As I expected, Bi Antong immediately released her foot from mine, shaking her head fearfully, "No, no, I won't step on you anymore, please take your hand off..."

I gave her a mocking look. She really was a fledgling; she couldn't even accept something like this. But from her perspective, being touched on the butt in front of so many people at the dinner table—given Bi Antong's personality, it would be strange if she didn't die of embarrassment.

I didn't intend to humiliate her. When she let go, I let her go. But I felt sorry for my white shoes, since I didn't bring any spares. I had to go through the trouble of cleaning them.

For Bi Antong and me, the shady thing that happened under the table just now might have felt like a long time, but in reality, only a few minutes had passed. The table was still as quiet as before, with everyone doing their own thing and no discussion about the specific arrangements for the upcoming holiday.

I whispered to Xu Lehan, who had been sitting quietly next to me, "Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you have a lot of ideas? Say them out loud and liven things up."

Xu Lehan, who had been withdrawn for a long time, looked at me with a wronged expression and said, "Ugh... The teacher told me to be quiet, but now she's blaming me for not leading the way in creating a lively atmosphere. I feel so wronged..."

It seems that's indeed the case.

"Okay, it's my fault for forgetting to remind you while I was busy eating."

Suddenly, Xu Lehan chuckled inexplicably and said, "Concerned about eating? Humph, don't think I'm blind. I saw you cheating on me perfectly clearly just now!"

(It's past midnight. I'm a little tired, but I'm really happy to have received so many monthly votes and tips today. I owe you a lot of chapters.) I'll keep it to two chapters a day and occasionally burst out to make up for it little by little. Because this poor college student has to do an online video internship during the summer vacation, it's so annoying--)

Chapter 6, Chapter 178: It wasn't padded out!

Upon hearing this, cold sweat broke out on my forehead. I knew that Lu Xiaojun and I weren't actually in a relationship, but I still felt inexplicably guilty for cheating. I even looked around at the other people at the table in a flustered manner, especially Ye Zhi, who was sitting next to Xu Lehan. After making sure that they hadn't heard, I calmed down and whispered to Xu Lehan, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Xu Lehan said as if she had evidence in hand, "Since you won't admit it, then I'll describe it again. Your hands first touched Tongtong's..."

I instinctively reached out and covered her mouth, and Xu Lehan immediately started making muffled noises as she tried to pry my hand off.

This commotion immediately drew the attention of the other girls, who were puzzled by my act of covering Xu Lehan's head.

"You're making a 'gugugu' sound..."

The moment Xu Lehan broke free, I immediately covered her mouth again and turned to the others, saying, "Lehan has a sore throat and her gums are bleeding. I'll take her to the bathroom to take care of it right away."

"Brother, do you need any help?" Hua Xinning asked with equal concern.

I quickly said, "No need, no need, you guys eat, I'll take her to get it sorted out."

So I forcibly dragged Xu Lehan up, but she reacted violently and tried to break free from me.

"Woooooooo..."

"Teacher, Lehan seems to have trouble breathing..."

"It's okay, I left a gap for her to breathe. She just had a lot of gum pain, that's why she reacted so strongly."

Xu Lehan looked at Lu Xiaojun, her eyes filled with a plea for help, but Lu Xiaojun didn't understand. I gently said to Xu Lehan, "Lehan, don't be afraid of the pain. I'll take you to the bathroom to cool you down and then apply some Yunnan Baiyao. Come with me, okay?"

I dragged Xu Lehan up, but she clung tightly to the table leg and refused to move. In the end, I simply grabbed her by the back of her legs with my left hand and lifted her up. Ignoring her struggles, I forcibly carried her outside the bathroom. After making sure no one was following, I put her down and said to her, "If you dare to make a sound later, I'll assign you to that haunted old dormitory!"

Xu Lehan's big eyes were filled with fear. She nodded repeatedly, promising not to scream. Only then did I feel relieved and remove my hand, giving her her freedom. In the instant of her release, she patted her heaving chest and gasped for air. I guess she was about to suffocate.

After she calmed down, I spoke to her again and said, "Don't misunderstand what happened between Bi Antong and me just now. She was angry that I bullied you before, so she stepped on my foot hard. I couldn't get away, so I resorted to this tactic to make her move her leg away."

Xu Lehan pouted and said unhappily, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? I've written this kind of scene many times in my novels. Have you forgotten episode 30 of the TV series adapted from my novel 'Summer of Bubbles'? When the male and female leads were eating with the three men, they secretly held hands under the table."

My head was spinning. I said incredulously, "Damn it, the male lead is such a scumbag, how does he even deserve the female lead? I always thought it was the second male lead who was good enough for the female lead. I've only watched ten episodes and you've already spoiled it for me. I really want to..."

No, the thought of that innocent heroine being taken by that scumbag makes me lose my temper. I anxiously pressed, "Tell me, is there a twist later on, and does the scumbag get eliminated in the end?"

However, Xu Lehan cruelly shook her head and said, "No~ the scumbag eventually stopped being a scumbag and successfully married the female lead, while the kind second male lead lived a lonely life."

This love story is so illogical; there's no such thing as first come, first served. The scumbag just appeared in the female lead's life at the right time and won her love, while the second male lead's story ended abruptly...

Just as I was about to scold Xu Lehan for making up such a ridiculous plot, I suddenly realized that we seemed to have gone off-topic...

"Don't change the subject. You've misunderstood, so don't tell anyone! Besides, Xiaojun and I aren't really a couple. We were just pretending in front of his parents, so there was no cheating involved..."

Xu Lehan shook her head firmly and said, "I don't believe it!"

"Watch out or I'll make things difficult for you!"

"I will never bow down to evil forces! Awooo!"

"Okay, you can move to the old dorm after you go back for the holidays. I'll have someone help you move, don't say I'm inconsiderate~"

"Waaah, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore. It was my thoughts that went astray and I misunderstood Teacher Hua..." Xu Lehan immediately bowed to the evil forces, took my hand and pleaded pitifully.

I patted her head and said with satisfaction, "Very good, that's more like my good student."

Xu Lehan also rubbed my hand with a big smile on her face.

"Hehe, um... since I've kept your secret, Teacher Hua, could you grant me a small request?"

"Huh? What did you say?"

Xu Lehan quickly corrected herself, "Ah, I meant... since teacher is so kind, could you grant me a small request? Ah?"

"Tell me about it." I felt that appropriate requests should be met, otherwise we wouldn't be able to shut her up.

"Then I'll tell you, but you can't get angry, okay?" Xu Lehan looked at me cautiously.

"Just tell me what you want, and I'll agree depending on the situation."

"Cough cough!"

Xu Lehan cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "This requirement has three points, and each point has three aspects..."

"Itchy skin?"

Xu Lehan shrank back and quickly changed her words: "First: You're not allowed to swear at me anymore. You're such an idiot, you're fucking unacceptable!"

Did I say that? As a teacher, it's impossible for someone to speak or write in a way that's uncivilized, unless they really can't help themselves.

"can."

Xu Lehan raised her eyebrows happily and said, "Secondly: From now on, when you come to my dorm to find me, you must knock on the door first and ask for my permission before you can come in. At the very least, you have to wait until I'm dressed!"

Speaking of this, I subconsciously glanced at her full breasts. Today she was wearing a strapless top, and the cleavage was slightly visible; it looked like she could easily hold a phone between her legs.

Xu Lehan, hands on her hips, proudly puffed out her chest and said, "How about it? Look, none of the girls at the table are older than me, right? Even Ye Zhi is about the same age as me~"

Seeing her getting smug, I couldn't help but deflate her ego, saying, "Who knows if it was padded or not?"
