Chapter 13: I am a little attracted to you

It took quite some effort to resolve Lin Mo’s misunderstandings and misconceptions about her clothing and style.

Su Wanwan’s living room was rather spacious.

A black sofa sat in the center of the room.

Lin Mo was sitting there.

A fragrant breeze wafted by as Su Wanwan walked over on her long legs and sat down beside him, sharing the same spot.

Though there was a “safe” distance of about one person between them, Su Wanwan could still sense Lin Mo’s discomfort.

He stared straight ahead at the TV, as if he could actually understand it.

Su Wanwan, of course, didn’t think much of it.

As Lin Mo’s teacher, what was the problem with being a little closer?

But Lin Mo didn’t see it that way.

The influence of his master was still too great.

Still…

Su Wanwan herself had never sat this close to a boy before.

Yet she didn’t feel awkward at all.

Lin Mo was her student.

That alone gave her a sense of security.

Of course, she had no intention of getting any closer.

She wanted to give Lin Mo some personal space.

She picked up the remote control.

“What kind of program do you like to watch, Lin Mo?”

“Anything is fine.”

From a teacher’s perspective, if you’re watching TV with a student, it should be something healthy and educational.

There’s no way she’d watch an idol drama with a student, right?

Romance shows were out too.

Lin Mo had no such thoughts, and Su Wanwan had no intention of falling in love with a student.

Any rumors to the contrary were nonsense.

Family ethics dramas?

She doubted Lin Mo would understand them.

Truthfully, even she didn’t understand them.

But once those were ruled out, there didn’t seem to be much left.

Anti-war dramas?

Forget it.

Even the commercials were more interesting.

That left only the science and education channel: Nature and Humanity.

The announcer’s voice was pleasant:

“In the scorching summer, across the endless grasslands, the male lion bites the third and fourth vertebrae of the female lion, declaring his sovereignty…”

Su Wanwan’s face turned red as she quickly switched the channel.

She didn’t expect Lin Mo’s expression to become puzzled.

“As expected, the Yao Tribe is shameless everywhere, indulging in carnal acts in public. It reminds this emperor of some unpleasant memories.”

“But what this emperor does not understand, Master, is why the Human Tribe records the coupling of the Yao Tribe for viewing? Could it be that such human-yao unions exist here as well?”

“This truly exceeds your disciple’s comprehension.”

Su Wanwan’s face flushed.

“N-no such thing! It’s complicated to explain. In short, humans find joy in watching animals reproduce. There’s not such great hatred between humans and animals…”

“Oh…how novel…”

Romance shows.

Let’s just watch a romance show.

For a moment, neither spoke.

Lin Mo was watching TV, but his gaze seemed fixed on the black frame around the screen, as if he was trying to figure out why the little box could emit light.

Thinking Lin Mo wasn’t interested, Su Wanwan was about to switch channels when Lin Mo suddenly pointed at one of the female contestants on the screen.

“She…”

Su Wanwan followed the direction of his finger.

It was a cool-looking girl.

Did her little disciple like this type?

“She’s a contestant with strong appeal.”

“No, what she wears seems similar to the style Master is wearing.”

Su Wanwan looked.

The female contestant was also dressed in a T-shirt and shorts similar to hers.

Not as good-looking, of course, but close enough.

“Yes, as the teacher said, most girls in this world dress like this.”

“Master, your disciple wishes to ask, why don’t you dress like her?”

Su Wanwan didn’t quite understand what Lin Mo was getting at.

She had T-shirts, she wore shorts too.

Looking at the female contestant on the romance show again, a wave of embarrassment surged in her chest.

She scolded, “You want your teacher to wear that kind of thing?”

Lin Mo didn’t understand why Master’s expression was so strange.

He spoke, puzzled.

“Forgive your disciple’s bluntness, Master, but your clothing is so revealing that while it may harmonize with this world, it makes your disciple uncomfortable…reminders of moments with Master in the past…”

He didn’t say it outright, but his meaning was clear—he was referring to Su Wanwan’s fair, shapely long legs.

Su Wanwan froze, her embarrassment fading.

“You want your teacher to wear that black thing?”

“If Master is willing.”

Su Wanwan ought to be embarrassed.

In truth, if a student made such a request, she would be.

Embarrassed and a bit angry.

But when she saw the clarity in Lin Mo’s eyes, the embarrassment vanished.

“It’s not appropriate for teachers to wear that with students.”

“Why not?”

“I don’t understand. Covering Master’s exposed parts should be good for both Master and disciple, so why not?”

Su Wanwan couldn’t explain.

She couldn’t tell Lin Mo that the original purpose of that black thing wasn’t to cover the body.

And besides, who was exposing themselves?

Fine, fine, you’re pure.

Whatever you say.

“Alright…next time the teacher goes to the mall, I’ll buy a pair…”

Her feelings were complicated.

She had never worn that before.

But when Su Wanwan noticed Lin Mo quietly exhale in relief, she stopped being conflicted.

Instead, she felt a tiny bit angry.

What girl doesn’t have romantic dreams?

She’d once imagined that the first time she wore stockings would be for her boyfriend.

Those who understand, understand.

She never thought her first time would be for her student.

So be it.

But what’s with that satisfied attitude after making your teacher wear stockings?

It’s different from what she imagined!

She was so annoyed she wanted to punish her student!

But seeing Lin Mo’s rare happy expression…

Fine.

You’re powerful.

You even had the energy to put underwear on the dead me in the apocalypse.

You’re invincible.

Whatever you say.

“Master, enough small talk. Regarding your Heavenly Yin Sacred Body…”

[Heavenly Yin Sacred Body (Purple): Evolved from the Cold and Elegant Master, this is a special constitution with an extremely low chance of awakening, born on a yin year, month, day, and hour.

……

……

Time had already passed 8 PM.

Su Wanwan and Lin Mo had spent two hours watching TV on the sofa.

Not because the TV was so interesting.

In fact, Su Wanwan hadn’t even eaten dinner.

She wanted to move, but she couldn’t.

Lin Mo had “pinned” her in place.

To repeat, it wasn’t because the TV was so captivating.

She was just so nervous.

She couldn’t even remember what was on TV.

She had only one thought now.

Boyfriend!

A boyfriend had appeared!
