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

My aunt pulled me and Bi Antong's hands together, one on each arm, and said, "You're not young anymore. I gave birth to Tongtong when I was 20..."

I simply couldn't believe it. I remember when I first met Mo Jia's parents, they kept asking for a house and a car, going on and on. But this aunt in front of me didn't even ask about my family background before agreeing to let her beautiful daughter marry me...

Did I become stronger after the breakup?

Seeing that I remained silent, my aunt misunderstood my thoughts and said with some self-reproach, "Tongtong is my wonderful daughter, but unfortunately she has a burdensome mother and family like me. I don't blame you for minding this..."

I interrupted her directly, saying, "That's not how it is, Auntie. I've never minded these things for any reason, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen for Tongtong..."

I felt a little embarrassed to say such blunt words. I glanced at Bi Antong, who was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.

In my aunt's eyes, this scene was a display of affection between my husband and me, the young couple...

My aunt burst into laughter through her tears, grabbed our hands and said, "That's good. I trust Tongtong's judgment. You two must give me a big, healthy grandson."

"Mom! What nonsense are you talking about again?" Bi Antong said angrily.

I stood aside, feeling secretly saddened. My aunt probably knew about her illness, which is why she was so eager to see her daughter start a family. She wanted to see the happiest moment of her daughter's life.

……

From the moment we left the hospital until we got home, Bi Antong and I didn't mention the incident of pretending to be each other's boyfriends. It wasn't until we got home and locked the door that I broke the awkward silence and asked, "Are we going to keep this a secret forever?"

“Aren’t you happy?” Bi Antong asked back.

I said, "I'm fine... it's just that seeing how happy Auntie is, even though we were deceiving her, makes me feel a little uneasy..."

Bi Antong lightly bit her lower lip, glanced at me quickly, then looked away and said, "Then let's not lie..."

Then, as if fleeing, he turned and went back to his room, leaving me bewildered.

In the middle of the night, I got up and went to the bedroom, tiptoed to the bedside...

Of course, I need to clarify that I didn't come here for a night raid; I came here to feel her body temperature...

Bi Antong's sleeping posture was really not elegant. She was lying on her side like a child, with the blanket between her legs and a doll in her hands. Her hair was scattered messily on the bed, which was indescribably alluring.

I gently placed my hand on her forehead; it wasn't hot anymore, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Worried that her stomach might get cold, I gently pulled the blanket out from under her. At that moment, she let out a soft moan, which startled me, and I quickly squatted down. After a while, there was still no movement, so I stood up again and looked at the other half of the blanket that was being held between her two long legs, which were peeking out from under her nightgown...

Damn it, why sleep without a vacuum? Don't you know there's a virile young man in the house?

I turned my head away, trying not to let my gaze fall on any parts I shouldn't, and pulled the blanket out completely and covered her with it, completing the task with trepidation.

Are they just leaving like that? I'm a little unwilling.

Looking at Bi Antong's exquisite sleeping face in the moonlight, I couldn't help but poke her smooth, alabaster-like cheek a few times with my finger, and I saw her eyelashes flutter slightly.

"I got up in the middle of the night to worry about you, and all I got in return was this little bit of benefit? You got off easy..." I muttered to myself as I walked out of the bedroom and went back to the sofa to continue sleeping.

& (The following is not part of the main text, but Hua Tusheng's Infinite Tsukuyomi)

Bi Antong squinted as she watched Hua Tusheng leave the room. She touched the spot where that bastard had poked her a few times, feeling a mix of relief and disappointment. She had thought that bastard would kiss her...

Ugh, what am I thinking!

Bi Antong pulled the blanket over her head, curled up inside, and regretted sleeping in such an ugly position! He'll definitely laugh at me!! And that bastard must have seen that part of me!!!

Bi Antong blushed and subconsciously closed her legs, feeling a strange heat rising within her, but not the burning sensation of a fever...

I'll have to lock my door from the inside from now on, otherwise what if that jerk really showed his true colors and attacked me at night... But won't he think I don't trust him?

I'm so conflicted...

He rolled around in bed, wrapped in the blanket, not knowing what to do.

Waaah, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. If that day really comes, I'll... I'll just give in to him... Anyway, it's that jerk, I don't really hate him that much...

Gradually, her mind was filled with lewd thoughts, and the male lead was still that jerk from outside... I can't take it anymore! She suddenly felt inexplicably thirsty, so Bi Antong got up, went to the living room, got a glass of water, and drank it down to suppress the chaotic images in her mind...

However, I heard that bastard snoring behind me, just like a pig!

Thinking about how he had taken advantage of me earlier, I snorted and thought, "I'll get my revenge!" I tiptoed to the sofa, squatted down, and pinched his nose. After a while, he made a strange sound, opened my hand, and went back to sleep, snoring.

He really is a pig!

Looking at his not-so-handsome face so closely, her heart started racing involuntarily...

What the hell? He's clearly just a frivolous teacher. Yesterday, there were women's lipstick marks on his clothes. He must have been fooling around somewhere!

Of course, he does have a few good points, such as being quite gentle...

Thinking of the care he had shown her these past few days, Bi Antong felt a sweet warmth in her heart. No man had ever treated her like this since her father left…

Never mind, consider it a reward for you~

My lips gently touched his forehead (?^з(^?^c)……

……

After Bi Antong left, Hua Tusheng sat up abruptly from the sofa, curled up in a ball clutching his pillow, and swallowed hard.

"Holy crap, I've been attacked at night! Is nobody going to do anything about this female thug?!"

Chapter 15, Section 15: I'll help you take your measurements.

"Hey, get up!"

I opened my eyes slightly, still half-conscious, and it sounded like Bi Antong was calling me, but the alarm clock hadn't gone off yet. Why was she waking me up so early?

Ignore her and continue sleeping.

Then something pressed against my lower abdomen through the blanket.

"Are you getting up or not? If you don't, I'm going to stand on you!"

I glanced over and saw that someone was stepping on it and grinding against it. It actually felt quite comfortable, so I continued to close my eyes and enjoy it.

"Uh!"

The next second I regretted it. I was still getting into the swing of things when she stomped on it so hard...

"Are you crazy? What are you doing so early in the morning?" I got up and yelled, glancing at the time—it was only six o'clock.

"I want to get a cat."

"No, no, the house is only so big, and you can't even take care of yourself, let alone a cat?"

With an expression that said there was no room for negotiation, I was about to go back to sleep.

Bi Antong said somewhat aggrievedly, "You said you'd promise me anything that day."

How could she still remember the day I shoved her under my desk...?

I sat up, yawned, and asked, "Wait a minute, why did you suddenly want to get a cat?"

Bi Antong pouted and said, "I see a lot of streamers have cats and dogs, which increases their number of fans. I've also always wanted to have a pet..."

I hesitated because I knew this girl never did housework on her own initiative. What if she tried to shift the responsibility of taking care of the cat onto me?

"I listened to everything you said that day, are you going back on your word now?"

"I agree, okay...?" I'm really annoyed by this.

"But you have to promise that you will take care of everything for the cat yourself."

Bi Antong nodded excitedly and said, "I don't have class today, so come with me to the pet store to pick out a cat later."

I gave her a helpless look and said, "You don't have classes, but I have to go to work!"

Bi Antong paused for a moment, then stammered, "Y-yes... then come with me after get off work."

It's rare to get home and rest after get off work, isn't playing video games more appealing? So I waved my hand to indicate that there was no room for negotiation.

"You promised me anything..."

I was so mean back then!

I reluctantly gave in, saying, "Fine, I'll go. I feel like you have me completely under your thumb..."

Bi Antong covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm going to have you completely under my thumb for the rest of my life~"

I was taken aback. Was her statement implying something...?

Seeing my expression, Bi Antong realized that her words were ambiguous, and blushed as she quickly said, "It's not what you think! Anyway, you're supposed to give in to me, the older one should give way to the younger one, right?"

"You're using moral blackmail!" I said through gritted teeth.

"Unless you have no morals at all~"

"Eloquent and silver-tongued!"

For some reason, upon hearing this, Bi Antong blushed, called me a "pervert," and fled back to her room.

I think the original meaning of this idiom is to describe someone who is eloquent and persuasive.

……

This morning I received a call from Ye Zhi in my office. My first instinct was to hang up immediately, because this girl is too difficult to deal with. The scene from that night is still vivid in my mind: imprisoned in a dark basement, forced again and again, until I was completely exhausted before she would stop...

I shuddered, pretending not to see it, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the ringing stopped.

However, a message immediately appeared on WeChat, it was from Ye Zhi.

Answer the phone!

I was so scared that I quickly looked around. Was I being watched?

Then another call came in, and I reluctantly answered it.

"Hello, Ms. Ye, I'm so sorry, I just went out and didn't bring my phone..."

"You deliberately didn't answer my call."

Is it quantum surveillance? I quickly got up and drew the curtains, continuing to cover up my mistake, "No, why wouldn't I answer Miss Ye's call?"

“I saw it clearly.”

Do you have superpowers?

"Don't be surprised, it's right above your head."

I looked up and, holy crap, it was the only surveillance camera in the office!

I said with a wry smile, "Miss Ye, you must be joking..."
