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

"Awooo~" Xu Lehan protested, making a sound that she thought would intimidate me.

"Be serious! No barking like a dog!"

"Then should I meow like a cat?"

"Cat my ass! Stop trying to change the subject!"

I found that she was really good at talking nonsense, and she didn't look serious at all. I couldn't believe that someone who looked about 70% like my sister Xin Ning could be so unreliable. Her personality was completely different from Xin Ning's. I quickly drank some water to calm myself down.

I gestured to Lu Xiaojun with my eyes to wait a little longer. I quickly dealt with her and was about to continue my lecture when Xu Lehan pointed at me and Lu Xiaojun and exclaimed, "You two are exchanging glances! Something's fishy!"

"Screw you! Can't you just listen to what I'm saying? If you keep this up, I'll give you a demerit!" I was so angry I gritted my teeth. If it were any other teacher, she would have been kicked out of the office long ago.

Upon hearing the word "demerit," Xu Lehan was so frightened that she shut her mouth tightly and even made a zipping motion.

"By the way, I don't have a younger sister."

Before I could react and get angry, Xu Lehan shut her mouth again.

Seeing that she had finally calmed down and stopped joking around, I gradually regained my composure. However, I have to admit that I did panic a little when Xu Lehan mentioned flirting. Xiaojun and I do have a bit of an ambiguous relationship...

I pointed at the printed transcript and said sternly, "You failed ten subjects in two years! Do you know what that means? We usually only use two words to describe a student like you."

"Brilliant!"

"Bullshit!" I yelled at her angrily.

Xu Lehan was so frightened by my anger that she shrank back against the chair.

I've never seen a student with such an attitude before. Not only did she not seem to understand that anyone was wrong, she kept finding fault. I wanted to unleash a torrent of profanity, but remembering that I'm a teacher, I had to hold back. I took a sip of water to calm myself down and said, "I got a little agitated just now, don't mind me... I just want to ask you, even if you took the exam with your feet, you wouldn't fail ten subjects. Are you even a student at Jiaotong University?"

“Look, your printed transcript has Jiaotong University’s name on it…” Xu Lehan pointed tremblingly at the transcript.

Words couldn't express my anger, so I chopped her on the head. Xu Lehan clutched her head in pain and said aggrievedly, "You clearly said at the opening ceremony that you would educate students with the utmost patience, and you actually hit me! Hmph~"

I ignored her and asked directly, "Tell me what you've been busy with these past two years, that you've fallen so far behind in your studies? Didn't your previous counselor mention this to your parents?"

"Hehe...it's reflected~" Xu Lehan said in a cheerful tone.

I said, speechless, "Then why aren't you studying properly?"

Xu Lehan blinked and said, "But my parents said it doesn't matter, as long as I'm happy."

What kind of incompetent parents are these, to condone such things... Why didn't I have parents like this when I was a child?

"Teacher, I made you a cup of tea, please drink it~" Xu Lehan said in a fawning manner.

I was really hoarse from talking, so I picked up a drink, but then Xu Lehan stood up and said, "Then I'll be going now, I have some things to do."

Without saying a word, I pressed her shoulder down and made her sit back down, then said sternly, "Tell me, what exactly are you busy with!"

Xu Lehan pointed with her other finger to my hand that was gripping her shoulder. Um, her clothes had been pulled down a little, revealing a white tank top...

I quickly pulled her clothes back up to cover the tank top, and pretended nothing had happened, saying seriously, "Are you letting your relationship interfere with your studies? You're a grown woman, can't you manage your time well? Do I have to teach you?"

Xu Lehan said in great surprise, "Dating? That's impossible, it's such a waste of time..."

"So what exactly are you busy with all day long?"

"Of course it's broken feet~" She put her hands together on one side of her cheeks, assuming a sleeping posture.

"You're busy sleeping all day long?" I looked at her with exasperation and scolded, "How can you sleep? At your age, at this stage of your life, you can't even sleep? Have you no self-respect?"

Xu Lehan, however, still said with a playful smile, "I can sleep well, and I fall asleep as soon as I lie down, it's so sweet~"

"Get out of here! GUN!" I pointed at the office door, furious.

"Goodbye, Teacher Hua~ Oh, I hope we never meet again..."

I watched Xu Lehan flee the classroom, seething with anger. I was so angry I felt like my insides were going to burst. Clutching my chest, I said to Lu Xiaojun, "Xiaojun, quick, get me the nitroglycerin pills. They're in the second drawer..."

I prepared this before I decided to become a teacher, and I never thought it would actually come in handy...

Lu Xiaojun rolled her eyes at me, then came up to me and reached out her little hand to soothe my heaving chest.

"Teacher, why are you so angry? Lehan didn't do it on purpose. As the class monitor, I've talked to her many times, but she just won't listen to reason..."

"If this isn't intentional, does it only count as intentional if I get so angry that I have to call 120 and have a professional team carry me away?"

"No matter how angry you are, you can't tear a girl's clothes. People who don't know better will think the teacher is molesting her..." Lu Xiaojun gave me a reproachful look.

I immediately felt awkward: "Let's not talk about her anymore. I'll find another chance to deal with her next time... By the way, Xiaojun, is there something you wanted to talk to me about?"

Lu Xiaojun pulled me down to sit, but she didn't let go of my hand. Instead, she held my hand with both of hers, pressed her body very close to mine, and exuded a faint fragrance.

"Our student council is having a party tonight, are any teachers coming?"

More than that, I'm concerned about the fact that this is a school office setting, and Lu Xiaojun's intimate gesture seems a bit inappropriate...

(I will write a little more about the character Xu Lehan. She is quite important to the plot, and she is also the kind of girl I like.)

Chapter 2, page 123. Bullying the easygoing little county.

I glanced at Lu Xiaojun, but found that she showed no shyness whatsoever. It was as if this intimate gesture had become an unconscious action for her, something she had developed at some point...

"I have something to do tonight, so I might not be able to go..."

Lu Xiaojun said with a somewhat disappointed expression, "We're going to sing karaoke at Tianhai after dinner tonight. It would be great if Teacher could come..."

After a pause, she asked again, unwilling to give up, "Then could you tell me what's going on tonight, teacher?"

The reason I didn't tell her the specifics was because I was afraid it would upset her. I was in a dilemma, but then I thought about how I had already hidden it from her once yesterday at the department store. If I hid it from her again now, it would be too unfair to Lu Xiaojun's feelings for me.

So, looking at Lu Xiaojun's expression, I slowly said, "I promised Luo Yao yesterday that I would visit her house tonight..."

Lu Xiaojun pouted instantly, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"The teacher is so biased..."

I took her soft little hand in my hand and stroked it to comfort her, saying, "I'm not being biased, but I did promise Luo Yao first, so I can't go back on my word, right?"

Actually, I'm putting Lu Xiaojun in a bit of a difficult position by doing this, because I'm unconsciously using morality to bind her...

Lu Xiaojun rarely sulked, and she withdrew her hand, refusing to let me touch her anymore.

"Yesterday it was Tongtong, today it's Luo Yao..."

Hearing her mutter Bi Antong's name, I panicked and pretended to be calm, asking, "What happened to Tongtong yesterday?"

Lu Xiaojun gave me a resentful look before turning on her phone, accessing her YouTube account, and showing me her latest Vlog.

I don't know what she was trying to say, but I was still drawn to the video content. After all, it's really pleasing to the eye to see two beautiful girls on screen at the same time, no matter what they're filming.

"You took a really good picture..." I praised.

Lu Xiaojun pouted and slid the progress bar to the middle again, pointing to a corner of the video. I looked over and saw that Bi Antong, Xin Ning, and I were all in the frame. It was right in front of the restaurant that I saw Lu Xiaojun and Mu Mu pushing Bi Antong and Xin Ning back to avoid Lu Xiaojun while they were filming the vlog.

Lu Xiaojun turned off her phone, pouted, and looked at me unhappily, as if waiting for an explanation.

But what's the point of explaining? The answer couldn't be clearer. I could only apologize and tell Lu Xiaojun the truth: "It was my fault, I deliberately avoided you... On one hand, I didn't want to disturb your video shooting, and on the other hand, I didn't want you to see me and Tongtong shopping and I was worried you'd be unhappy... Of course, I originally brought Xinning out to shop in Shanghai, but we happened to run into Tongtong, so we shopped together..."

"Tongtong likes you, teacher, right?"

I hadn't expected Lu Xiaojun to ask so directly, which made me feel uneasy. After hesitating for a while, I replied, "I don't know either, she didn't tell me..."

I'm not lying; Bi Antong certainly didn't say that as explicitly as Lu Xiaojun did.

"Anyway, I can sense it too... I really don't understand why they became so close when the teacher just helped her move. It must be because the teacher is too kind... But I won't lose to her!"

I listened silently to Lu Xiaojun's mutterings, wisely choosing not to say anything.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaojun complained again: "My teacher seems to care less and less about me lately..."

"Who said that? Of course I care about Xiaojun," I quickly replied.

"That's a lie."

"Really not..." I discovered that Xiaojun wasn't a pushover when she got angry.

"Why didn't the teacher notice that I was wearing a new dress today?"

Huh? Is this new? She seems to wear different clothes every day; she's never worn the same thing twice since I've known her...

But I still smiled and said, "I noticed it as soon as you came in. Did you design this yourself?"

It has to be said that Lu Xiaojun's ability to design clothes is quite strong. This French-style high-waisted skirt, which is originally suitable for tall girls, does not look out of place on her 1.5-meter height at all. In fact, it visually lengthens her height.

Lu Xiaojun said with a hint of pride, "Yes, duck~ Isn't it pretty?"

She stood up and twirled in front of me, her snow-white skirt fluttering slightly, evoking the feeling of first love. I couldn't help but reach out and wrap my arms around her slender waist, pulling her into my embrace. Lu Xiaojun didn't expect me to do this either, and with a startled cry, she fell onto my lap.

"It's so beautiful!"

Holding me like this in the school office, Lu Xiaojun blushed from her ears to her neck, her little hands pressed against my chest as she looked at me somewhat flusteredly.

Lu Xiaojun avoided my gaze to hide her shyness and said, "I've finished designing the clothes I promised to design for you, teacher. They'll be ready tomorrow. You must wear them, teacher!"

This was something mentioned at the school anniversary cosplay exhibition, and I almost forgot about it.

"Definitely, definitely. The design by Xiaojun will be beautiful."

Then Lu Xiaojun ran out of things to say and sat awkwardly on my lap. The soft touch and milky scent emanating from her body made me forget that there was a surveillance camera above my head. My hand, which was around her waist, couldn't help but stroke her skirt. Looking at her shy and downcast face, I couldn't help but reach out my other hand to touch her smooth, alabaster-like face. Lu Xiaojun closed her eyes as if accepting a death sentence, her eyelashes fluttering adorably.

Perhaps it was because we had kissed in the movie theater that I became so uninhibited, wanting to kiss her again, and slowly approaching her alluring cherry lips...

Then, the most unpleasant thing ever happened: the apple bell rang...

Lu Xiaojun was so startled that she jumped down hastily, tidying her hair and clothes, while I came to my senses, took out my phone and answered it. It turned out to be Ye Zhi calling.

"What are you doing?" Ye Zhi asked as soon as she came up.

"I... I'm at work..." I didn't understand why she suddenly called to ask me why.

"Just focus on your job, understand?"

"What are you saying..."

But before I could finish speaking, Ye Zhi hung up the phone. I suddenly realized what she meant. I looked up at the security camera and realized she definitely hadn't deleted the video!

Good grief, she promised me she'd delete it after the couples' competition at the last school anniversary celebration, but she secretly kept it behind my back. But then I remembered how Ye Zhi was completely monitoring everything that happened between me and Lu Xiaojun, and I felt incredibly embarrassed and awkward...

"Who made the call?" Lu Xiaojun's face was still flushed.

"Your cousin Ye Zhi..."
