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

I cornered her in the stairwell, placing my hands on her shoulders in an attempt to make her feel threatened and force her to give in. But today, Ye Zhi was wearing a white off-the-shoulder dress, and my hands touched her bare collarbone directly. It was slightly cool and silky smooth; her skin was truly like porcelain...

But Ye Zhi stared directly into my threatening gaze, not so much because she showed no intention of backing down, but because she didn't believe I could pose any real threat to her.

"Isn't that our counselor? Why is he talking to a girl like that at the stairwell...?"

"Are you going to force a kiss on the stairs? Coach Hua is so brave!"

"..."

A few girls were whispering nearby, but I heard them all. This is so damn embarrassing…

So I quickly moved my hand away from Ye Zhi's shoulder and glared at the girls who loved to gossip instead of studying.

"Excuse me, Coach Hua, please continue."

The girls said in unison, then fled this place of trouble, fearing that I would make things difficult for them in the future.

"How can they have no manners at all, actually making fun of the counselor..." I scolded them angrily.

"I think you're the one who's being rude. You've been gripping my shoulder so hard it hurts..."

I looked at Ye Zhi's shoulders and sure enough, there were two red marks left, as if I had... cough cough, use your imagination.

For a moment I forgot about the surveillance video and awkwardly walked downstairs, while Ye Zhi silently followed beside me until we reached the square, where some large-scale event seemed to be taking place. After listening carefully to the host's introduction, I learned that it was a couples' event that only non-single people could participate in, which involved couples engaging in all sorts of bizarre and physical contact competitions.

Putting aside how tacky this kind of event is, it's completely uninteresting to a single person like me. Why did I even approve this application in the first place? I must have been out of my mind to agree to such a lovey-dovey event...

But after glancing at the onlookers, I suddenly felt much better; they were also witnessing their own lovey-dovey moments...

Since I felt nothing, I was about to leave, but Ye Zhi called out to me from beside me.

“I want to play this,” she said, pointing to the couples activity.

I twitched my lips and said, "How are you going to play this, you single dog? Are you going to play with your left hand and your right hand?"

Ye Zhi looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Aren't you just a guy? Why don't you come play with me..."

"My dear sister, how can you not grasp the key point? It's about couples!"

“We can pretend,” Ye Zhi said matter-of-factly.

That sounds so reasonable...

But I couldn't quite grasp why she would be interested in something so trivial.

"Did you play because of the prize?" I asked, pointing to the huge yellow Pikachu mouse plush toy.

Ye Zhi shook her head.

"That's terrible! Why did you go and join in the fun?" I said speechlessly.

"But I think this game is very interesting, and I'm a little curious..." Ye Zhi paused for a moment, then looked at me and continued, "Anyway, I want to play that game with you..."

Ye Zhi's expression at this moment resembled that of a child no one wanted to play with, unlike her previous self-important manner of ordering me around...

I was somewhat moved, but I still felt it was inappropriate. What if Bi Antong or Lu Xiaojun saw me? And what about that little vixen Luo Yao who made those harsh remarks? I hesitated for a moment, not knowing why, but I just didn't want them to see me participating in this game with other women.

Seeing my hesitation, Ye Zhi added, "If you come with me to play this, I can consider the surveillance video."

"Is this really true?" All the concerns I had just had vanished instantly.

Ye Zhi nodded.

"It's a deal then, no playing games with me..."

For the sake of personal privacy, I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany you. I refuse to believe that it's such a coincidence that those women saw us!

Before we went, I reminded them, "Let me make this clear: the couples' games on stage will definitely involve some intimate contact. Are you sure you're okay with that?"

"So what if we keep in touch? It's not a big deal..."

Just as I was about to say "As expected of you," I saw her lower her eyes and say softly, "If it's you, I don't mind..."

I confess that in that instant, looking at the stunningly beautiful Ye Zhi, countless indescribable images flashed through my mind, some gradual, some direct...

Unlike the other girls around me, Ye Zhi possessed a cold beauty, appearing mature and dignified, someone you could admire from afar but not touch. The thought of getting close to such an icy beauty suddenly gave me a heart attack.

"Let's go, what are you dawdling for..."

Ye Zhi truly lives up to her reputation as an elite figure in the company. She has strong execution skills and does what she says without hesitation. Sure enough, she has already dragged me to the registration office.

The person in charge of the registration desk was a female student. When she saw me bring Ye Zhi, she smiled and said, "Coach Hua, are you also bringing your girlfriend to participate?"

Ye Zhi looked at me, and I could only nod helplessly...

Damn it, in just a few days, I inexplicably gained four girlfriends...

Chapter 41. Now that's what you call skilled! (Third update)

Having been a counselor for two years, I should have been confident standing on the stage in front of everyone. But the situation is different now. The woman next to me is just my temporary girlfriend. If there are any overly intimate physical contacts later, I don't dare to make a move. I'm not familiar with Ye Zhi's body, and I have no idea what kind of force or angle to use, even though she has clearly said that she doesn't mind... I suddenly regretted going on stage.

Some of my former chemistry students, who were my tutors, came to watch. They looked at me with envy, as I could no longer be exploited, and with curiosity about how I had changed to such a beautiful and mature girlfriend.

I couldn't help but feel a little smug. You guys are so jealous!

"Huh, is it a student?"

A deep, gruff voice came from behind me. I turned around and saw my best friend from college, Liao Zhengyang, standing next to him was his college girlfriend, Li Xin'er.

"I didn't expect you two to go back to your alma mater without even telling your dad."

Then Liao Zhengyang and I argued for a full minute about who was whose father. At this point, Li Xin'er, who was as petite as Lu Xiaojun, couldn't stand it anymore and burst out, "After all these years, how can you two still be so childish? Aren't you ashamed? There are so many students watching..."

She didn't understand; this was a romantic connection between men.

Then, Li Xin'er glanced at Ye Zhi standing next to me, then looked at me with a puzzled expression. Liao Zhengyang also looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Who is this pretty young lady next to you?"

No sooner had she asked than Li Xin'er kicked Liao Zhengyang. The tall, burly Northeastern man, Liao Zhengyang, could only force a smile, not daring to protest against his girlfriend who only reached his shoulder. Back in college, he had a penchant for looking at beautiful women and was quite flirtatious, which had led to Li Xin'er, the "little tiger," frequently abusing him for it...

They didn't know about my breakup with Mo Jia, so I had to explain in a low voice, "Her name is Ye Zhi, she's my friend, and she's temporarily pretending to be my girlfriend..."

They then understood and greeted Ye Zhi. Ye Zhi, however, merely nodded indifferently, without a trace of a smile. This made me somewhat embarrassed, so I explained again, "She's always like this, don't take it to heart..."

Liao Zhengyang and his companion expressed their understanding, but Li Xin'er then asked, "You brought your friend to participate in this couples' game, won't Jiajia...?"

I interrupted her directly and said calmly, "We've already broken up."

Li Xin'er felt a little embarrassed, as if she had stepped on my sore spot, but I didn't feel sad at all, because she had changed and become someone I looked down on, not worth wasting my emotions on.

"You don't need to blame yourself. I'm indifferent to her anymore. She's changed a lot. Maybe you'll find out at the class reunion tonight."

After chatting for a few more minutes, the host's voice came over the loudspeaker, announcing that the game was about to begin. When I looked at the host with the familiar voice, I realized it was that brat Luo Bai. How come he's everywhere? I hadn't even noticed that this brat had applied for two events.

Luo Bai looked at me, then at Ye Zhi beside me, as if he had just realized something, and then gave me a look that made me understand.

I know he was complaining that I had a girlfriend and didn't tell him, and yet he even went out of his way to set me up with Bi Antong.

I glared back at him, which startled him so much that he quickly picked up the microphone and continued reading the rules.

"There are now eight couples participating on stage. We will set up three rounds of competition. The winner of each round will get eight points, the second place will get seven points, and so on. After three rounds, the couple with the highest total score will win the overall competition."

The rules are simple, but the competition is sure to be tricky. Having watched many similar competition shows, I began to prepare myself mentally.

I quickly scanned the audience below, praying in my heart. Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, tragedy struck. A beautiful girl wearing a mask was staring at me menacingly!

I instinctively squeezed my legs together... thankfully, they were still there.

"In the first round of the competition, during the warm-up phase, we each put three sticky notes on the men. The women had to blow the sticky notes off the ground with their mouths, without allowing the men to move. The one who could do it the shortest time won."

Then Luo Bai started sticking sticky notes all over me, one on my right chest, another on my left chest, and the last one on my jeans zipper...

As Luo Bai walked past, he whispered, "Little brother, wasn't I awesome?"

I was both amused and exasperated. This wasn't a warm-up; it was an opening attack right from the start. They were going to go all out right away.

I glanced at Ye Zhi and asked somewhat awkwardly, "W-are you sure you dare to play this?"

"Why wouldn't I dare? It's just blowing on it for you..."

It seems she still doesn't realize the seriousness of the problem; one of the sticky notes was stuck in a rather unsightly place...

I no longer dared to look at Luo Yao in the audience; I felt that if Ye Zhi dared to blow her whistle there, she would cut me...

Soon, Luo Bai helped all the boys put the stickers in the same spot and announced the start of the timer.

Ye Zhi half-squatted down and started blowing on the sticky note on my left chest. She didn't succeed the first time, so she took a deep breath and tried again, making my chest itchy...

Suddenly, a commotion erupted from the audience. It turned out that Liao Zhengyang's group was the first to blow a sticky note.

It seems Li Xiner is quite skilled; their married life must be very fulfilling...

Soon Ye Zhi blew the sticky note off my left breast and moved it to my right breast, so my right breast started to itch again. Doing this on both sides was really unbearable.

This time, Ye Zhi had the experience and quickly blew off the sticky note on her chest, then moved on to the most crucial last one. The girls in the other groups were too embarrassed to squat down, but Ye Zhi, with her extraordinary execution, had already squatted down in front of me, tilted her head slightly and started blowing, without the slightest hesitation or shyness!

When that breath hit me, my legs went weak, and I felt a surge of emotion. My face flushed slightly. I suddenly realized that Luo Bai was here to mess with me and make the students watch the counselor's embarrassing moment!

Blowing from this angle is indeed inconvenient; it lacks the previous speed. Ye Zhi's hair has also partially fallen across her forehead, obstructing her vision and the airflow. This also shows that Ye Zhi is indeed inexperienced. Look at Li Xin'er next door; she's kneeling on the ground, tucking her hair behind her ear with one hand and supporting Liao Zhengyang's leg with the other, extremely skilled…

Ye Zhi seemed to notice the inconvenience, so she followed Li Xin'er's example and knelt on the ground, tucked her hair behind her ear, held my calves, and blew hard.

This scene is making it hard for me to breathe!

(I'm exhausted, so tired... I can't update anymore today--)

Chapter 42. If you're a man, fight another 100 rounds!

Hu~hu~

However, the sticky note didn't fall down. Ye Zhi pouted in annoyance. I originally thought that someone as cold as her would always have a blank expression, but I didn't expect her to have such a girlish gesture. This contrast was unexpectedly cute...

"Why don't you try blowing from a different angle? Like blowing back and forth from side to side..." I suggested.

Ye Zhi nodded, and then began to implement the plan I had described. Then I felt a little lightheaded…

But suddenly I felt a sinister gaze directed at me, and I instantly wilted. I slowly shifted my gaze to Luo Yao below the stage. Her eyes were fixed on my zipper, like a sharp blade aimed at depriving me of my right to find a partner, which startled me.

At the same time, Ye Zhi gripped my calf even tighter, seemingly venting her anger on me because she couldn't blow it down.
