Director Wang really disliked the Salty Alchemist in the chat group.
Every time that person popped up, they attracted almost everyone’s attention.
Director Wang also found Ye Gui unpleasant in school.
Ye Gui was taller, more handsome, and even a bit witty… In short, compared to himself—a self-proclaimed successful man—Ye Gui was more popular with students.
Director Wang liked being the center of attention.
So, he was quite jealous of Ye Gui and the Salty Alchemist.
—
School infirmary.
A knocking sound echoed, and the door was slowly pushed open.
Director Wang walked in carrying a bag of fruit, a kind smile on his face.
“Student Luo Xixue, is your injury serious? Don’t worry, I have thoroughly educated those three female students. They said they realized their mistake and will change.”
On the bed, Luo Xixue glanced at him, then lowered her head to look at Ye Gui, who was applying medicine to her hand.
Director Wang felt a bit awkward.
“Student Luo Xixue, do you need me to…”
“No need.”
Luo Xixue said, “Having Teacher Ye here is enough.”
Hearing this, Director Wang looked at Ye Gui holding Luo Xixue’s delicate white hand, carefully applying medicine, while the girl’s eyes were fixed on Ye Gui, unblinking.
A trace of coldness flashed in Director Wang’s eyes.
After finishing the treatment, Ye Gui released Luo Xixue’s hand.
Luo Xixue looked at her palm.
The wound had already formed a scab, which made her feel a strange sense of loss.
Ye Gui looked up at Director Wang, then acted surprised.
“Ah, Director Wang, you’re here.”
Director Wang: ……
Director Wang took a deep breath, his smile stiff.
He opened his mouth as if to say something.
But in the end… he chose to withdraw.
“Teacher Ye, I’ll take my leave.”
“Please take good care of Student Luo Xixue.”
“Don’t worry, Director Wang. I will.”
Ye Gui waved his hand.
“Goodbye, Director Wang.”
“You can leave Student Luo Xixue to me!”
Outside the door, there seemed to be the sound of staggering footsteps.
Director Wang pressed against the wall, biting his lip until it almost bled.
Behind the golden-rimmed glasses, a cold light mixed with murderous intent surged.
He had originally intended to use this chance to improve Luo Xixue’s favorability.
After all, Director Wang was not ready to give up on her as a target.
Taking advantage of the situation was the correct “strategy.”
It had always worked surprisingly well.
Unfortunately, this time Ye Gui got in the way, and he failed.
Director Wang sneered and left.

Inside the infirmary, Ye Gui looked at Luo Xixue with a serious expression.
“Student Luo Xixue, don’t walk alone at night these days. Even if you have to go home alone, be careful and don’t go into remote alleys…”
Luo Xixue tilted her head.
“Teacher, are you planning to kidnap me with a Pink Sack and take me home?”
Ye Gui: “Student Luo Xixue, please calm down. Don’t always try to make me lose my job.”
Luo Xixue: “It’s fine, Teacher. Even if you lose your job, you still have me. I can take care of you.”
“Thank you, but as your teacher, my stomach is still quite healthy. The doctor told me to eat more Hard Foods.”
“Teacher, that’s a Quack Doctor.”
Luo Xixue’s little face tensed, extremely serious.
Ye Gui smiled at her, unwilling to argue further, and directly raised his hand, breaking the deadlock with force.
Luo Xixue shrank her head and immediately became obedient, because she realized Ye Gui’s hand shadow covered her face, almost completely.
If that hand came down, she’d probably cry for a long time.
Ye Gui took out a Disposable Towel, wet it, then lifted Luo Xixue’s skirt to gently wipe her slender white calf.
“Teacher, why aren’t you taking off my socks?”
“Why should I take off your socks?”
Luo Xixue blinked.
“Doesn’t Teacher have a leg-and-foot-control XP?”
Ye Gui was serious.
“Student Luo Xixue, please don’t slander your teacher.”
The feet wrapped in White Cotton Socks were perfectly curved, naturally resting on the bed.
“Teacher, please don’t restrain yourself anymore.”
“You really do have a leg-and-foot-control XP!”
“If Teacher didn’t want to play with my legs and feet, why did you lift my skirt to wipe my calf?”
“I’ve already seen through your disguise.”
“Don’t worry, Teacher. Even though I’m in a wheelchair, I still exercise regularly. My muscles haven’t atrophied, so I’m quite confident in my legs… Ouch!”
Luo Xixue yelped, clutching her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Ye Gui, aggrieved.
Ye Gui calmly withdrew his right hand.
“You problematic student, do you really want to kick your teacher out of a job?”
“I just wiped your calf because it was dirty, and I wanted to help.”
“Student Luo Xixue, please don’t randomly browse forbidden websites.”
Luo Xixue pouted her soft lips.
“I’m going to access them anyway, ignore the risks, force access!”
Ye Gui rolled his eyes at her.
This little brat only became more troublesome in front of him.
Ye Gui gently pulled her skirt down, covering her feet, and helped Luo Xixue put on her Small White Shoes.
“Alright, Student Luo Xixue, other than your palm, you have no other injuries, you can go…”
“Ah, Teacher!”
Luo Xixue suddenly cried out, interrupting Ye Gui.
Ye Gui squinted at her.
“Student Luo Xixue, are you trying to find an excuse to skip class?”
“How could I, Teacher? I just suddenly remembered something very important.”
Luo Xixue blinked innocently.
“Believe me!”
Ye Gui chuckled, raising an eyebrow.
“Come on, tell me. What’s so important?”
“If you can’t say, I’ll personally deliver you to class.”
Luo Xixue’s eyes shifted.
She pulled out her phone and held it up to Ye Gui.
“Teacher, it’s like this. My phone was hacked!”
Ye Gui frowned.
“Explain in detail.”
“Last night, just as I was about to sleep, my phone suddenly turned on by itself and switched to camera mode without my control…”
“At first, I thought it was an Electronic Ghost, but then something felt wrong. On the phone screen, a man appeared, his face blurred.”
“He said he had hacked my phone and was just saying hi. He told me to be ready tomorrow—he’d show my private photos in front of me, then… do bad things…”
As she spoke, Luo Xixue quietly hid her right hand behind her back, pinching the soft flesh at her waist hard.
The sharp pain reddened the corners of her eyes.
She cried, throwing herself into Ye Gui’s arms.
“Teacher, I’m scared! There’s a pervert!”
“Teacher, you said before you had some knowledge in this area. Help me!”
Luo Xixue shoved her phone into Ye Gui’s hand.
Of course, it was a lie!
Luo Xixue thought, if Ye Gui opened her photo album to check, he’d find that all the photos were of him.
Would the teacher show an interesting expression when he found out?
The corner of Luo Xixue’s mouth lifted, then quickly flattened, her face full of pitiful innocence.
Ye Gui pushed Luo Xixue away and looked at her phone.
“I see… then I… hmm?”
Suddenly, the blacked-out phone lit up, automatically switching programs without control.
Ye Gui made a sound.
The other party had come online!
Beside him, Luo Xixue: ???
Ah, it was actually real?!
She’d just been making it up!
Luo Xixue noticed that her encrypted [Learning Materials] folder had popped up, making her expression freeze.
No!!!
This couldn’t be seen!
Inside were all the photos of Ye Gui she’d secretly taken from various angles—eating, drinking, sleeping at the desk…
These weren’t public images, and many were close-ups, some rather risqué.
If discovered, she’d be branded a pervert!
Text messages began to appear on the phone.
[Girl, you don’t want your private files exposed, do you? Then open the camera for me!]
[Oh, and remember to pull down your collar a little. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll upload everything in your folder to the internet!]
Luo Xixue’s small pearls fell, two streaks of clear tears streaming down her cheeks as she bit her lips.
“Teacher, he’s so arrogant!”
“Teacher, help me!”
“Don’t worry. I’m here.”
Ye Gui had zero tolerance for perverts like this.
Bully my student? Not happening!
Ye Gui focused his mind.
In an instant, Full-Level Alchemy Ability surged into the phone, rapidly analyzing and rewriting the underlying logic!
Then…
Crack, trace, control…
Three seconds later, Ye Gui smiled.
“It’s done.”
However, Ye Gui hadn’t expected it to be that person.
Luo Xixue: ???
Luo Xixue was about to ask what was done when her silver eyes swept across the phone screen.
She suddenly widened her eyes, covering her mouth with her small hand.
The phone screen had changed.
Inside appeared an office.
A man sat at a computer, his face heavily pixelated.
Luo Xixue frowned.
He looked familiar, but the mosaic was too thick for her to recognize.
She glanced at Ye Gui, puffing out her cheeks.
But Teacher definitely knew!
Hmph!
He’s hiding it from her!
“Teacher, there’s a deep chasm between us now!”
Ye Gui: ?
What’s with this problem student now?
