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

So you know I'm taking advantage of you...

I said with a wry smile, "My phone died..."

"You can use mine."

Ye Zhi handed me her phone, then climbed off the sofa, picked up another phone from the table, and lay back down in my arms, without even changing her position...

Okay, I've run into a female scoundrel.

I don't know how long I played, but I suddenly felt sleepy and fell asleep. I didn't wake up until the next day, only to find Ye Zhi with her arms wrapped around my neck and her head pressed against my face. If anyone saw this, it would probably cause a big problem.

I gently removed her hand and carefully climbed out. I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there would be no misunderstanding, although I didn't think she would take it seriously... But the scent of her body still lingered in my nose. I slapped my forehead hard to wake myself up, checked the time, and it was already seven o'clock in the morning. I had to hurry home to change my clothes and go to work.

I woke Ye Zhi up. She rubbed her eyes, her sleepy eyes filled with a strange allure, but I had no time to appreciate that. I was going to be late for work!

"Miss Ye, please let me go back quickly, I'm going to be late for work!"

Ye Zhi was clearly still somewhat disoriented. She stared at me blankly for a while before nodding and then leading me back downstairs.

Before leaving, she asked me, "Do you know how to play King of Glory?"

I nodded subconsciously, and then I regretted it. She said expressionlessly, "Then come to my house again this weekend."

I nodded perfunctorily, inwardly laughing and crying at the same time. When we first met, I thought she was a successful career woman, so why was she behaving so irresponsibly?

"Are you just giving me the runaround?" Ye Zhi said again, dissatisfied.

Okay, she's not unreliable; on the contrary, she has a very keen eye, just like she saw yesterday that I wasn't genuinely praising her.

"I'll definitely come when I have time, I'll definitely come!" I had no choice but to make a promise.

Ye Zhi finally said with satisfaction, "Remember your words, or I will come looking for you myself."

……

On the way back to my apartment in a taxi, I pondered Ye Zhi carefully. I really couldn't understand her thought process. Based on less than a day of contact, I could sense a hint of domineering in her, especially her intolerance of others disobeying her. Perhaps it was the influence of her profession. I was just curious why she didn't hold my frivolous behavior towards her last night against me.

Back at the apartment, I unlocked the door and saw Bi Antong sleeping on the sofa. She seemed to have been startled awake by the sound of me opening the door. She looked in my direction warily, but when she saw it was me, she relaxed and then showed a displeased expression.

She walked up to me, squinted at me, and interrogated me: "What did you do all night? Why didn't you answer my calls?"

"I...I went to a friend's house to play games all night, and then my phone died." This is indeed the truth.

Bi Antong sniffed, frowned, and gave me a deep look at my collar before saying indifferently, "You can't even lie properly."

Then I turned around and went back to my room. I glanced at my collar... Damn! There was a bright red lip print on it. I knew without a doubt that Ye Zhi had accidentally rubbed it there.

Suddenly remembering that Bi Antong had just fallen asleep on the living room sofa, she quickly asked, "Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep? You'll catch a cold if you don't cover yourself with a blanket on the sofa..."

"Can't I stay up late to watch TV?"

"But today isn't the weekend..." I thought to myself.

……

Bi Antong didn't sleep well all night, so I gave her a sick leave slip to rest at home.

While I was working in the office this morning, I received a message on QQ from a friend I hadn't contacted in eight years. If she hadn't suddenly reached out to me, I would have almost forgotten about this girl who lives next door to me and is six years younger than me (my parents' house).

"Do you remember me, Brother Tusheng?"

We hadn't been in touch for almost eight years, but the way she addressed me hadn't changed. It instantly brought back memories of my middle school days. I remember that my family and her family had a very good relationship back then. I would often play with her when she was still in elementary school and help her with her homework. She loved following me around and calling me "Brother Tusheng" all the time.

"I remember you, right? You're Luo Yao? It's been so long since we last talked. How have you been?"

"I'm not doing well... because Brother Tusheng isn't with me. I miss you so much..."

Her blunt words almost made me choke. I felt like she was teasing me. I suddenly remembered when she was in sixth grade, she pulled me into her room and confessed her feelings to me sincerely. Of course, I didn't accept it. I just felt that she was still immature. Besides, I was about to go to college. Was I going to date a primary school girl?

Later, I went to study in Shanghai and we lost contact. But the image of her crying her eyes out after I rejected her that day is still deeply etched in my mind, and I still feel a little guilty when I think about it.

I replied, "Actually, I miss you too, it reminds me of the times we used to play together..."

"Hmph, I knew you'd say that... But I have a surprise for you soon, so don't forget you won't not recognize me~"

"I don't think so. I can still remember how cute you looked with your chubby baby face."

Then she stopped replying to me until the afternoon when Lu Xiaojun came to my office.

Chapter 12.12. Cosplay

"Teacher Hua..."

"What's wrong, Xiaojun?" I picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.

When I asked, Lu Xiaojun looked a little disappointed and said, "Well, didn't the teacher say she would help me arrange the performances for the party..."

Oh, so that's what it is. After what happened last night, I almost forgot about it. I quickly said, "Yes, yes, I've been planning it too, but I still don't have any good ideas. What about you?"

Hearing that I was also seriously planning this, Lu Xiaojun's smile returned. She walked around the desk and came directly to my side, placing the planning notebook in her hand on my desk, and said, "These are some ideas that our student council collected from students. Teacher, please take a look and see which ones are more feasible."

I was sitting while she was standing. I felt a little embarrassed, so I asked her to sit at the tea table. I poured her a cup of freshly brewed tea, and she thanked me and was about to pick it up to drink when I quickly called out, "It's hot! Be careful."

Lu Xiaojun withdrew her hand, only then noticing the steam rising from the teacup. She smiled and said to me, "Teacher is a gentle person."

"Oh, really?" I touched my nose a little embarrassedly, afraid she would break my new teacup...

I picked up the proposal and looked at it carefully for a while. To be honest, they set the premise on stage performance from the very beginning, which meant they couldn't come up with any creative programs. So, judging from the submissions, the most popular things were nothing more than young ladies dancing and singing—how cliché! Of course, this is also in line with a normal gala performance, without any nonsense or anything like that…

I looked up at Lu Xiaojun, about to share my thoughts, when I saw her blowing steam from her teacup with her little mouth. When she saw me looking over, she immediately sat up straight and put her hands back on her lap. I smiled and thought to myself that although she usually acts prim and proper, she can't hide the playful side of a little girl.

“What do you think of the students’ proposal?” I asked.

"That's great, they have dancing, singing, and crosstalk performances..."

"It was really good, not much different from previous performances, and it was easy to arrange."

After I finished speaking, I stared at Lu Xiaojun's expression. I saw her eyes dim as she said, "Oh... I'm glad the teacher is satisfied..."

"Who says I'm satisfied? I have other ideas."

In an instant, Lu Xiaojun's eyes regained their sparkle, and she asked eagerly, "Teacher, please tell me quickly."

In fact, just like I was when I was a student, Lu Xiaojun would definitely think that this kind of gala performance was too monotonous and boring, but she didn't dare to tell her true thoughts to the responsible and rigid teacher. Now that she has met me, her new counselor, she has a glimmer of hope.

I thought for a moment and said, "I've seen some anime where they organize various activities during school festivals. We can take that as a reference, and while retaining the evening performance, we can add this kind of format. Instead of organizing by class, we can organize an activity for a group of people with common interests..."

I stopped because Lu Xiaojun was holding my hand. She looked at me excitedly and said, "We can also incorporate some anime elements, like cosplay. Teacher, these are exactly what I want!"

Lu Xiaojun's two slender little hands gripped mine tightly with excitement. The soft texture made me almost want to grab her hand back, but I suppressed the impulse and gently pulled my hand away.

Lu Xiaojun clearly realized she had been impolite, her face flushed slightly as she withdrew her hand, not daring to look at me.

To avoid an awkward situation, I said, "The significance of the school anniversary is not only to commemorate, but also to bring joy to the students. The question now is the students' opinion: can they accept this type of event?"

"No problem, most of them have been wanting to try this novel approach for a long time."

"How did you know?"

Lu Xiaojun said somewhat shyly, "Actually... I also secretly conducted another investigation..."

As she spoke, she handed me another document, which investigated the type of activity she had just mentioned. Sure enough, most people were very supportive and looking forward to it.

"Okay, it's decided then."

Seeing that Lu Xiaojun seemed to have more to say, I asked again, "Do you have any other thoughts?"

"Teacher, will you participate?"

"Of course I will. After all, I am an alumnus. Many of my old classmates will be coming back, and I will definitely have to relive our campus memories with them."

Of course I'm going to go to the internet cafe with them to play games! What could be more exciting than teaming up to attack the city?

Lu Xiaojun shook her head and said, "I mean, will the teacher participate in the activities we just talked about?"

I smiled wryly and said, "If I, a teacher, were to organize an activity with you students, you probably wouldn't be able to enjoy it. Besides, I don't know your interests and hobbies..."

"oh…..."

Seeing Lu Xiaojun's disappointed expression, I couldn't bear it and said, "Of course, if you don't mind me, I'm fine with it. Consider it as getting to know you better."

Lu Xiaojun became excited again and said, "So, teacher, what kind of activity do you want to organize? Do you want to do cosplay with me?"

I've always seen others do cosplay, but I've never tried it myself. Now that Lu Xiaojun mentioned it, I'm really interested. And it's definitely going to be a place full of beautiful girls, so I resolutely decided to give up accompanying my brothers to conquer the city and said with a smile, "That's no problem for me, but I don't know what to cosplay..."

"I have so many choices, teacher, look!"

Lu Xiaojun got up and sat down next to me, showing me pictures on her phone one by one while explaining the origins of the anime characters in the pictures. But more than that, I was more interested in the sweet scent on her body, which seemed to be from a milky shower gel, quite fitting for her petite figure.

"Teacher! Are you even listening to me...?"

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm listening, I'm listening..."

She scrolled through her phone, looking at a collection of anime character images. One in particular caught her eye: a picture of a man in red long johns wielding a black scythe, who looked extremely reliable, standing next to him was a cute blonde girl a head shorter than him. The image also included the anime's name—Angels of Death. (This image appears later in this chapter.)

I glanced at Lu Xiaojun, who was about a head shorter than me, and suddenly became interested, saying, "What do you think of this? We two look quite good together."

"This, this..." For some reason, Lu Xiaojun's ears turned red.

"Is that not allowed?" I looked at her in confusion.

"Teacher, have you... seen this anime series?"

I haven't watched anime for a while. Work is just too tiring, and besides, I've lost interest in anime since I got a girlfriend. I shook my head.

Lu Xiaojun didn't hesitate any longer and said, "This is it! Teacher, you must wear it, no matter what others say, and you must stand with me..."

I nodded in agreement without thinking much about it. I just felt that the height difference between them was quite visually appealing, and I suddenly felt a bit excited.

After get off work, I returned home and opened the door, only to find that Bi Antong was not in the living room. I went to the bedroom door and knocked, but there was no response. I pushed the door open with some worry and went in, only to find Bi Antong lying on the bed with a flushed face, as if she was not feeling well.

(Have you seen Angel of Death? Zach Rachel. See attached image below.)

Chapter 13. He's my boyfriend!

"Girl, are you feeling unwell?" I asked gently as I sat down on the edge of the bed.

Bi Antong said weakly, "I just feel a little dizzy..."
