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

"What did you say?" She stammered and spoke so softly that I couldn't hear her at all.

To my surprise, Bi Antong, who was shy just a moment ago, glared at me and said, "Stop changing the subject. You still haven't told me what Xiaojun wants from you?"

"She ordered a cosplay outfit for me for tomorrow's school anniversary celebration, and told me to try it on. If it doesn't fit, we can make some alterations tonight."

"They're all grown up, yet they have the nerve to join in the fun with us young people..."

I'm only 25. Am I really not considered young anymore?

"It was Xiaojun who invited me... Of course, I was also a little interested."

Bi Antong said sarcastically, "Hey, he's even calling people by their nicknames now..."

I was somewhat impressed by her ability to find fault, and said helplessly, "Please, I'm her teacher, which is like an elder. What's wrong with calling a junior by their nickname? Don't I call you 'little girl' too?"

Bi Antong's face flushed instantly, and she exclaimed excitedly, "It's awful! It's so tacky!"

"Then...Er Ya?" I asked tentatively.

Then my back started hurting, and I begged for mercy, "How should I address you? Should I just call you by your full name? That sounds so distant, we're practically acquaintances..."

Bi Antong, having felt relieved after pinching me, let go and huffed, "Who said I'm an acquaintance of yours? Don't flatter yourself!"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right..." We don't argue with women.

So I picked up the pineapple and started to walk forward, but Bi Antong stopped me. She looked at the ground and whispered, "Hurry up and think of a way to call me..."

I thought for a moment and said, "An Tong?"

She shook her head.

"Tongtong?"

"That's what they all call me!" she was still dissatisfied.

Women are such troublesome creatures!

After much deliberation, I finally said with surprising wisdom, "Baby?"

"Go to hell!"

"hiss!"

My poor back! I'm afraid my girlfriend's sexual happiness is in jeopardy from now on...

……

After visiting the veterinary hospital, I took a taxi to the address given by Lu Xiaojun. It was familiar to me; it was the wealthy neighborhood where Ye Zhi lived.

On the way, I unexpectedly received a call from my father. Tomorrow is the weekend, so it seems he doesn't have to work overtime and has time to call.

"Hey, son?"

"What's wrong, Dad?"

How have you been lately?

If you care about me, just say so. It's not like I'm here to start a faction or establish a gang...

"good……"

It's said that conversations between fathers and sons are the most awkward. There's not much sentimental stuff between two men. Sure enough, Mom quickly grabbed Dad's phone and said, "Your dad doesn't know how to talk, just ignore him... How are things going with Jiajia? Do you have enough money? If not, Mom will transfer some to you."

I haven't told them about Mo Jia yet, so I had to avoid the main point and said, "We get along very well, and we have enough money. We're all adults now, so why would we ask you for money? We should be the ones being filial to you."

After chatting for a while, the mother said, "Xin Ning is going to register at your university next Monday. You should help her out, since it's her first time there and she won't know anyone."

Are you wondering who this person named Xin Ning is? That's right, it's my sister! Aren't you annoyed that I have a sister? What's even more infuriating is that she's so clingy to me, calling me "brother" all the time, and with her well-behaved and adorable appearance, she's just too cute!

"Mom, are you talking to my brother? I want to hear it! I want to hear it!"

The faint voices coming from the phone must have overheard our conversation.

Soon, a sweet, soft voice came from behind: "Is that you, brother? Xin Ning missed you so much~"

"Yes, brother misses you too."

I haven't been back to Shanghai since returning to work after the Spring Festival, and it's been half a year since I last saw her. Before that, she was busy with the college entrance examination, so I didn't call her often for fear of disturbing her studies. Now she has been admitted to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and next Monday is the registration day for her freshmen. I am looking forward to seeing her again. It's a pity that she couldn't attend our school's anniversary celebration...

"Brother, I got into your university too! Aren't I amazing?"

I smiled and praised without reservation, "Xin Ning is the best! Whatever reward you want, just tell your brother, and I'll give it to you."

"Hehe, I haven't decided yet, so you can't back out later, okay, brother~"

"I will keep my promise to Xin Ning... By the way, Xin Ning, you must call me when you get here, and I will come to pick you up."

"An, Xin Ning knows~"

After chatting for a bit, I arrived at my apartment complex and said goodbye to Xin Ning. At the entrance, the security guard was still the same middle-aged man, and this time I asked him to drive me to Lu Xiaojun's address. He gave me an envious look, which I understood; after all, I knew two big shots in this wealthy neighborhood…

Outside the courtyard, I texted Lu Xiaojun to let her know I had arrived, and she replied immediately, asking me to wait a moment while she tidied up.

While waiting, I glanced around and suddenly noticed two people hiding suspiciously behind a pillar not far away, glancing at me every now and then. When I looked over, they started chatting again. I didn't think much of it and just waited, bored.

Soon, Lu Xiaojun opened the door to my courtyard and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, teacher."

Although the night was dark, Lu Xiaojun's exquisite figure was enhanced by the moonlight, adding a touch of mysterious beauty. Unlike her style in the morning, she was dressed much more maturely in an A-line white dress. Perhaps because it was a bit chilly at night, she also wore a thin pink jacket, making her look ethereal.

(I've changed the male lead's father's character; I've already deleted the one in the first chapter... *cough* By the way, do you have any monthly votes? ('o?o`))

Chapter 27, Section 27: Caught Red-Handed in the Boudoir

The reason I noticed Lu Xiaojun's change in style so quickly is because I personally prefer girls who dress in a more flowing and elegant way, which makes them look particularly ethereal.

As I followed her toward the house, I said, "Why are you dressed differently today? You usually seem to prefer a more girly style..."

Lu Xiaojun stopped in her tracks, looking somewhat dejected, and said, "Does the teacher think it doesn't suit me?"

"How could that be? This outfit makes you look much more mature today, it suits you very well," I said honestly.

But Lu Xiaojun said with some dissatisfaction, "Does the teacher mean that I seemed very childish before...?"

I chuckled inwardly. Why was her focus so strange? But to be honest, many girls these days, even those approaching thirty, like to dress themselves up in a very youthful way. This should be seen as a changing trend in societal aesthetics. Cuteness is not necessarily inferior to sexiness; in fact, they are comparable.

I pondered for a moment and said, "I wouldn't say it's childish... I'd say it looks more youthful and energetic, which suits girls your age quite well."

The dejection on Lu Xiaojun's face finally disappeared, replaced by a bright smile. She put her hands behind her back and said with a grin, "Teacher understands girls very well~"

"Ah, a friend of mine told me..."

I scratched my head awkwardly, because I felt there was something more to her words...

When I entered the house, there was indeed no one else there. I don't know how she managed to send her parents away, but this is something I'm happy to see. Although I am Teacher Lu Xiaojun, we are not that far apart in age, and it would always feel awkward to have parents around.

"Would the teacher like some water?"

"no need……"

However, she ignored my polite words and, like a happy fish, hopped to the water dispenser to get some water.

During this time, I discovered that she also had a Ragdoll cat, but it looked much more robust than ours.

"Teacher, you drink."

"Um, thank you. By the way, is your cat male or female?"

My gaze was still fixed on the cat. I reached out to take the cup that Lu Xiaojun handed me, but I touched something soft and smooth. I turned my head and saw that I was holding her hand that was holding the cup. Her owner looked shy and didn't say anything, giving off a somewhat submissive feeling.

I quickly took the cup from her hand and tactfully drank some water to ease the awkward atmosphere, but my mind was filled with memories of Lu Xiaojun's little hands—warm and smooth. Should I wash my hands tonight?

"It's a male cat, what's wrong?" Lu Xiaojun's face was still a little hot, but she still had to answer the teacher's question.

"It's nothing... take me to see the finished cosplay outfit."

I originally thought that Pineapple was a female cat and we could mate in the future, but seeing that Lu Xiaojun was still shy, how could I say it? What if she misunderstood that I was implying something to her?

Then I went up to the second floor and entered her bedroom. A unique fragrance from a girl's room wafted into my nostrils, like the scent of Lu Xiaojun herself, a milky and sweet smell. There were many anime posters on the walls, and even some photos of her cosplaying. I then realized that Lu Xiaojun was a girl who liked anime.

"Do you really enjoy cosplay? I see you have a lot of photos here... Oh, and there are even photos of you in Hanfu..."

Lu Xiaojun asked shyly, "Which one do you think is the best, teacher?"

I stared at the photos and compared them, then pointed without hesitation to Lu Xiaojun, who was cosplaying Rem in a maid outfit. Her fair upper arm, which was half exposed, and her little white breasts, which were tightly bound by the top of the uniform, all hit my excitement points.

"So, the teacher really likes maids..."

I didn't hear what Lu Xiaojun muttered to herself, so I looked at her and found her blushing, seemingly lost in thought.

I assumed she was embarrassed that I had seen her photo, so I quickly looked away. It was indeed a bit rude of me to have seen a girl's private parts. I changed the subject and asked, "Um, where are your clothes?"

"Ah? Oh, here it is."

I looked in the direction Lu Xiaojun pointed and saw the two outfits on the floor-standing clothes rack. Obviously, the black hoodie and red thermal underwear were mine, while the black and white striped top and white trench coat were hers.

I took off the hoodie and put it on. It was just the right length. As for the thermal underwear, I put it on my leg to measure it. It fit roughly.

"The clothes are fine, but what about the hair? I remember the guy in the picture had pretty long hair, which doesn't seem to suit me..."

Lu Xiaojun, who had been quietly watching me from the side, smiled and said, "I've already prepared the wig, it's right here, so you can help the teacher put it on tomorrow morning~"

I walked toward the table where the wig was, when suddenly I tripped over something on the ground and almost lost my balance. I instinctively grabbed Lu Xiaojun's shoulder, but I didn't expect to pull down her coat along with the straps of her A-line skirt...

As a result, once I regained my footing, I saw Lu Xiaojun's rounded shoulders. I immediately felt awkward and didn't know how to explain myself, even if it was an accident... It was all because of that big black scythe cosplay prop on the ground...

And what about Lu Xiaojun? She didn't utter a single word of blame. She simply lowered her head and silently pulled up her clothes that had slipped off her shoulder, as if nothing had happened. Logically, I should have been more apologetic, but her submissive demeanor stirred an unspeakable impulse deep within me. I felt like I could have gone even further...

Just as my thoughts were wandering off somewhere, a figure rushed into the room, grabbed my shirt, and shouted, "You brat, apologize to my daughter right now!!"

While I was still completely bewildered, another woman, who was about the same size as Lu Xiaojun, came over and anxiously advised, "Honey, why are you being so impulsive! You've scared our daughter!"

"But how could this brat bully our precious daughter like this!"

Then Lu Xiaojun rushed over and pried her father's hands off me, almost crying, and said, "Dad, let him go, he didn't do it on purpose..."

After Lu Xiaojun's repeated persuasion, the middle-aged man finally let go of me, and I finally had a chance to explain: "Uncle, I'm really sorry about what happened just now, but it was definitely not intentional..."

Seeing Lu Xiaojun and me acting in unison, my father was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, he scolded Lu Xiaojun, "Daughter, you're really something. This brat touched your hand downstairs and is now taking off your clothes. Why didn't you say a word? You're just indulging him. If you bring him to the room, he'll only become more unruly!"

"Dad! What do you mean by touching and taking off? Why are you saying it so harshly? Old... he just did it accidentally, he didn't do it on purpose!"

Hearing that Lu Xiaojun didn't reveal that I was her teacher, I breathed a sigh of relief and was very grateful to her; otherwise, this matter wouldn't have been so simple.

"I brought him to the room because, well, he's my boyfriend, what's wrong with that!"
