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

I looked at her and noticed her face was flushed. Why? Was she ashamed of me?

"What are you looking at! I'm not eating anymore, I'm full!" Bi Antong got up with a red face and went back to the sofa to continue watching TV.

I glanced at my bowl; it was still more than half full. I said, "Aren't you going to finish it? It's such a waste..."

"If it's a waste, then just eat it."

"Oh."

So I picked up another spoon to eat, but then I heard Bi Antong shout, "What are you doing!"

Before I could even take a bite, Bi Antong snatched the spoon from my hand. I asked, puzzled, "I should be asking you what you're doing! Are you even letting me eat anymore...?"

"Idiot! I've already eaten!" she said, both embarrassed and angry.

"I know, but I don't mind. Do you have any infectious diseases?"

"You're the one with a contagious disease!"

"That's fine then..." I said, picking up the spoon she had used earlier and eating it. Although it was a little cold, it still tasted okay.

"You, you, you..." Bi Antong looked at me, her face as red as an apple.

Finally, she got angry and embarrassed, took the cat back to her room, and called me a "pervert"...

I'm wondering what's gotten into me; I was the one who bought this porridge...

……

Today is Saturday, but I still have to go to school because that adorable Lu Xiaojun called early this morning and asked me to come to school to help her prepare for the school anniversary celebration and evening performance this weekend. Actually, usually the counselor would delegate these kinds of things to the student council, but I promised her beforehand...

I was really sleepy. Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly felt something pressing on my face. When I opened my eyes, I found that stinky cat jumping around on my face, and the culprit was covering its mouth and laughing. I almost spanked Bi Antong's bottom. If she hadn't cried out for mercy several times, I would have beaten her so badly she could have flown away...

I washed up and was about to go out when I opened the front door. The bedroom door opened as well, and Bi Antong came out, still in her pajamas, obviously having just gotten up.

"Where are you going?"

"Tomorrow is the school's anniversary, I need to make some arrangements."

"Why should you go?" Bi Antong rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Little sister, I'm your counselor, okay...?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Bi Antong looked like she had just realized something.

"--"

I pointed to the breakfast on the table and said, "I've made breakfast. You can just heat it up and eat it."

Just as I was about to leave, I heard her say, "But didn't you promise me that you would go to the vet with me today to take the cat for a check-up?"

I was a little hesitant, but work was obviously more important, so I said, "How about tonight? There's no rush."

"No way! What if you get called away by that nasty woman from yesterday again tonight?"

I wonder how Ye Zhi will feel when she hears herself being called a "bad woman"?

"Stop fooling around, I'll keep my word... If you keep making that pitiful face, I'll spank you like I did last night!"

Bi Antong instinctively covered her buttocks, remembering the strange feeling in her body when she was disciplined last night. She scolded him in embarrassment, "Get out of here!" and then slammed the door shut.

The four members of the girl group Mini-pink have arrived at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. They are the girl group that Ye Zhi mentioned who volunteered to make a guest appearance. Today they are here for rehearsal.

"Sister Yao Yao, after this performance, you have to keep your promise and treat us sisters to hot pot, right?" A girl with pigtails said to their leader, and the other two girls nodded in agreement.

The girl, called Sister Yao, glared at them and said, "You keep calling yourselves sisters, but you have to treat us to a meal just for helping out. You have no sense of loyalty!"

The girl with twin ponytails quickly grabbed the captain's arm and said playfully, "What's important to you, Big Sister, is our important business. We're definitely duty-bound to help, right?" She winked at the other two girls, who nodded repeatedly.

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you. All my concern for you hasn't been in vain."

The youngest girl asked, "But Sister Yaoyao, why did you insist on performing here? Even though this university is a nationally renowned institution."

She tilted her head back proudly and said, "It's to give a big surprise to someone who doesn't know how to cherish me!"

"Oh? Sister Yao, do you have someone you like? Who is it? Tell us quickly..." The three of them surrounded her, asking her questions relentlessly.

She wasn't embarrassed at all; on the contrary, the thought of that person made her very happy. She said, "He was an older brother who used to be my neighbor."

"Sister Yao Yao actually had a crush on someone else! What's wrong with Sister Yao Yao? Why didn't he cherish you?"

"He was six years older than me. When I confessed my feelings, he was in high school and actually looked down on me because I was a primary school student..."

The three women couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard this, until their captain glared at them fiercely, which stopped their laughter.

The girl with pigtails couldn't help but tease, "Sister Yao Yao was already in a relationship in elementary school? Aren't elementary school students supposed to be the best?"

The captain rolled her eyes at her speechlessly, thinking to herself that she was determined to get him this time, and that even if he had a girlfriend, it wouldn't stop her!

Hua Tusheng, who was on his way to school, suddenly sneezed a few times for no apparent reason. He thought to himself, "It's so hot outside..."

(The book is about to be signed, can everyone spare some of their monthly votes?)

Chapter 22. Am I becoming more feminine?

As soon as I arrived at school, I received a call from Lu Xiaojun. She told me that her student council was supervising the rehearsal at the Arts and Literature Hall, so I headed towards the hall.

Lu Xiaojun was looking around at the entrance of the auditorium. When she saw me arrive, she came up to me and said, "Thank you for coming so early, teacher."

Indeed, it's only nine o'clock now. It's a rare weekend, but I can't get a good night's sleep. Of course, Lu Xiaojun is also trying to ensure the smooth running of the evening performance, so I replied, "It's okay. It's you students who are working hard, coming here early this morning to arrange and rehearse."

When Lu Xiaojun and I entered the auditorium, the students who were busy running around all shouted "Hello, counselor!" They seemed to be all ready and just waiting for me to come and watch the rehearsal.

"If you're ready, then you may begin."

At that moment, a woman with a ponytail came up to me. She smiled and introduced herself, "You must be Coach Hua? I'm Mini-pink's manager, my surname is Cai."

Ye Zhi had given me prior instructions, so I quickly realized what she meant and replied, "Hello, Ms. Cai, are you here for rehearsal today?"

Ms. Cai nodded and said, "We're sorry to have bothered you by coming uninvited."

"Not at all, it's our honor that you've volunteered to perform. We're sure to fill every seat." A manager of a popular girl group should be arrogant, but I didn't expect her to be so easy to get along with. Perhaps the success of the girl group is partly due to her personal charm.

Ms. Cai smiled, then looked at me and asked, "Does Coach Hua know any of the members of our girl group?"

I looked at her awkwardly and blinked...

The air suddenly became quiet...

Finally, I scratched my head sheepishly and said, "I've always heard of the girl group Mini-pink... but I don't really know who the members are."

Ms. Cai smiled and said, "It's normal that Hua is busy with education work and doesn't know about our entertainment industry. What I want to ask is, do you know any of the four members of our girl group? Because they volunteered to make a guest appearance."

I shook my head to indicate no.

"That's really strange..." Miss Cai was a little puzzled.

Rehearsals have already begun. I took a look at the program order, and it's arranged very reasonably, with the most important girl group performance being placed as the grand finale.

To my surprise, their rehearsal turned out to be a real performance, not just a formality. I watched from the front row for nearly an hour and a half out of boredom, and then I looked at the assistant conductor, Lu, next to me. He was still watching with great enthusiasm, seemingly satisfied with his arrangements.

Finally, it was time for the grand finale to take the stage. Even the students who had finished rehearsing and were waiting backstage were eagerly anticipating their appearance, as this was the first time many of them had ever been so close to their idols, who were none other than a very famous idol girl group in East Asia.

I couldn't help but feel excited too, because I was also curious to see what exactly this so-called popular girl group was all about.

When four girls dressed in pink JK uniforms walked onto the stage, everyone present became excited. Some of their fans even called out their names. Fortunately, precautions had been taken beforehand, so everyone managed to control their excitement and refrained from taking photos to avoid causing a stir before the official performance the next day.

I can't describe how I felt when I saw them. I just felt that they were wonderful, with the best age, the best looks, and the best temperament. They had an innocence and liveliness that other girl groups didn't have, as if they hadn't been tainted by the deep waters of the entertainment industry and still maintained the appearance of a young girl.

But none of these things surprised me. What surprised me the most was that the girl standing in the center was the same girl I met at the pet store that day. Even though she had taken off her mask, it didn't stop me from recognizing her, and the girl with pigtails next to her was the best proof of that.

All of the above is nothing compared to what shocked me the most: the girl standing in the center looks so familiar, especially those clear, watery eyes... Is this for real? Eight years ago she was a mischievous little girl, and now she's a member of a girl group that's famous throughout East Asia?

The four members of the girl group were just there to familiarize themselves with the stage and hadn't really rehearsed. After all, they were already very familiar with the dances for their album. Just as they were leaving the stage, the leader noticed my gaze among the many eyes on her. Her expression changed from a faint smile to surprise. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she pulled down her skirt and jumped off the stage, heading straight for me.

"Brother Tusheng!"

Before I could react, I was embraced by a soft body. What followed was a stunned reaction from everyone. In fact, that's not quite the right word; it was more like their beloved wife had fallen into someone else's arms.

I'm 100% sure this is Luo Yao. The way she addresses me and the way she acts are just like they were eight years ago...

"Yaoyao, let go of me first. Be mindful of your public image."

"No, I can't bear to part with Brother Tusheng's scent." Luo Yao buried her head in my chest.

Being pestered by a popular and beautiful girl should be something to brag about, but it depends on the occasion. Right now, everyone here, especially the boys, is staring at me with murderous eyes. Are they trying to kill their teacher?

Even Lu Xiaojun, who was sitting next to us, looked at us with a strange gaze, her eyes filled with disbelief and a little... displeasure.

I'm at my wit's end. When she was little, she would always rush up to me whenever she saw me, regardless of whether there were other people around. Now that she's a public figure, she still can't break this bad habit.

"Let me go first, I can't leave anyway. Can't we just find somewhere to meet up later?"

Luo Yao finally got out of my arms, but I heard her say, "Then let's go somewhere else."

Then, inexplicably, she led me out of the Great Hall of the People and pushed me into a taxi. We went to a KTV and booked a private room. Of course, the reason I did as she asked was simply because I felt that my work was done and I could catch up with her. After all, I was very interested in how she had changed over the years.

She closed the door, turned around with a triumphant smile, and said, "Brother Tusheng, you can't escape now. Just wait to be dominated by me."

Then, without saying a word, she lunged at me. I had no choice but to dodge. She missed and fell onto the soft sofa, then fell silent, clutching her stomach as if she had bumped it. I regretted dodging and quickly helped her up, but the next second she reached under my armpits and hugged me. I had completely forgotten that she had this trick up her sleeve!

"Hehe, you can't escape now~"

If it were when I was a child, I wouldn't have cared about being hugged so intimately by her, but now she's a fully developed young woman with a captivating body and fragrance. Suddenly, my blood was boiling, especially when she slightly shifted her body; a strange sensation ran through me...

"Yaoyao, please let go of me, I'm not feeling well..."

Luo Yao whispered in my ear, "Brother Tusheng, don't I look much more feminine than before?"

(I'll skip my homework to update again, you all know what I want~)

Chapter 23. 23. Can you come to my house tonight?

I immediately got goosebumps and felt my blood surging, but reason prevailed, and I pushed Luo Yao away.

"ah!"

She slumped onto the sofa, looked at me with a resentful gaze, and said, "Brother Tusheng, don't you like me?"
