Su Wanwan’s face was flushed red.
That said, she didn’t exactly resist, either.
She’d just come out from school, still dressed in a black business outfit. Anyone who saw her would immediately recognize her as a Teacher.
But honestly, being a Teacher wasn’t a big deal—it was just an occupation. Who said Teachers couldn’t look beautiful? Even Daiqing had fallen, so there was no reason to turn history backward.
The problem, however, was that Lin Mo, Colleague, was still wearing a school uniform from First High.
That was the embarrassing part.
But after her embarrassment passed, Su Wanwan saw the clear look in Lin Mo’s eyes and felt at ease again.
Teacher and student—was that really so strange?
They were just a normal Teacher-student pair. Up until now, Su Wanwan hadn’t even held Lin Mo’s hand.
If even she thought it was strange, how would Lin Mo feel? After all, he was facing his Teacher, his master.
Su Wanwan had thought about going back to change, but now, a rebellious thought rose up in her heart: “So what if we’re Teacher and student! Besides, our relationship is completely pure!”
Even so, the Counter Lady’s meaningful, drawn-out “Oh~” still made Su Wanwan’s pretty face burn bright red.
The Shop Assistant could see that the girl in this pair was more thin-skinned, while the boy was seriously and carefully examining with his eyes, looking like he was the one making the decisions. At this moment, her guess was even more certain.
She tried to keep her smile polite yet subtly ambiguous: “Sir, which one do you need?”
“Ask my Teacher.”
Su Wanwan’s mind spun. Lin Mo, Colleague, are you…
She’d already prepared herself for people to recognize them as Teacher and student.
But did he have to make it so obvious?
It was as if the Shop Assistant was also just playing along in some kind of act.
“A-any of them is fine…” Su Wanwan said softly.
“No, Teacher…”
“Don’t forget what you promised your student.”
The Shop Assistant smiled gently.
She’d served all kinds of customers—what sort hadn’t she seen before?
In her view, the girl might be shy, but the boy was probably not that bold either.
No one wanted to say out loud exactly what they’d come to buy.
This was a high-end boutique for women’s clothing.
People came here for a reason. If it were just ordinary Black Stockings or something like that, no one would be so coy, refusing to say what they wanted.
“Sir, Miss, I understand.”
“How about this set?”
Su Wanwan, red as if roasted over hot coals, now sat alone in the car.
She’d already put on the Black Stockings. They felt soft and smooth to the touch, fitting snugly against the skin of her thighs without the least discomfort.
There was a reason for the high price—even though Su Wanwan felt it was a painful expense, it was worth the money.
Yet now, blushing, she sighed at the shopping bag in the passenger seat.
The stocking product she wore below was a little expensive, but still within what she could accept.
But the other thing—that was another story.
Su Wanwan still couldn’t believe what the Shop Assistant had recommended to her.
She’d just been about to flatly refuse, but Lin Mo, Colleague, looked over it carefully and actually seemed pleased.
Su Wanwan was dazed, and under the Shop Assistant’s “see, I knew it” kind of expression, she muddle-headedly swiped her card.
After leaving the mall with Lin Mo, her head was still spinning.
Lin Mo, Colleague, Teacher knows you meant well, but do you even understand—that thing is not underwear! Do you think you’re supposed to put that on, then layer up more and more on the outside?
Actually, what Lin Mo said wasn’t wrong; it did seem more proper than just wearing a single pair of Black Stockings.
When getting in the car, Lin Mo handed the shopping bag to Su Wanwan, unusually pleased: “Teacher, now your student feels much more at ease.”
“Mm… What is this?”
Su Wanwan was angry and ashamed. She was embarrassed because she, a Teacher, had bought thin black mesh to wear between her legs with her student—not only that, she’d bought a whole bunch of strange things she felt she’d never try. Even so, the fact remained: she’d carried the bag home with her student, and it left her heartsick.
But Lin Mo, Colleague’s, words made her unable to stay angry. A nameless fire rose in her heart, making her want to smack the rebellious disciple sitting in the passenger seat.
You made your Teacher buy this, and now you act like it’s all over and done with—do you have to make it so obvious? That’s really hurtful, you know?
Even a block of wood has splinters, doesn’t it?
Su Wanwan couldn’t help but add a touch of grievance to her tone: “What is it?”
Lin Mo, Colleague, said: “I don’t know… It seems the seller put in the wrong item…”
Su Wanwan glanced over, her face going from sullen to purple-red in seconds: “It’s part of the black mesh…”
That was clearly… a Tail!!
Furry—a Tail!
Lin Mo, confused, said: “But there’s some Metals attached. It’s baffling.”
[Something furry with Metals…
It doesn’t look like clothing at all.
And yet Teacher didn’t throw it away, either.
A bit curious…]
Su Wanwan bit her lip and squeezed out words in a tone unlike her own: “Disciple, guess what your Teacher wants to do right now? Guess.”
Lin Mo suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Not good!
Teacher is mad!
“Disciple will withdraw! I’ll be back soon!”
With the passenger seat now empty, Su Wanwan cradled the shopping bag, her expression flickering.
A moment later, she looked relieved.
It seemed she’d scared Lin Mo, Colleague.
Or more precisely, his Teacher had scared Lin Mo, Colleague.
Su Wanwan didn’t blame him, she was just terribly embarrassed—super embarrassed. If Lin Mo, Colleague, had stayed by her side, she’d have wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Lin Mo, Colleague, you care about everything, but that will only get you hurt.
Su Wanwan fiddled with the pink Tail for a moment, then put it back.
She’d spent a thousand Ocean Dollars—would be a pity to throw it out.
Might as well just leave it.
As it happened, she had to go home for a bit anyway, so she’d just leave it there to gather dust.
She’d just gotten a call; her university Colleague was urging her to hurry over, saying they’d already reserved a restaurant—in the city center, at One Pin Pavilion.
She still needed to go home to change.
Shopping together with Lin Mo, Colleague, while dressed as a Teacher was fine, but it would never do for a Colleague gathering.
Out of a little selfishness, before Lin Mo, Colleague, left, Su Wanwan hinted several times that July’s weather was a bit cool.
It would be too embarrassing to say it outright.
And if her motives weren’t pure and Lin Mo, Colleague, noticed, that would be bad.
A little scheming now and then never hurt.
Su Wanwan replied to her Colleague, saying she’d just gotten off work, when suddenly she heard her phone ringing.
Didn’t she already say she was almost there? Why the rush?
Eh? It wasn’t her phone?
Su Wanwan looked for the source of the sound. Fixing her eyes, she saw it was in the passenger seat.
Looking around, she saw no one nearby. Driven by curiosity, she picked up Lin Mo’s forgotten phone, hesitated for a moment, then opened Lin Mo, Colleague’s, Feixin.
It wasn’t a Feixin call.
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
So, should she answer the call or not?
What if it was something private for Lin Mo, Colleague? Answering would clearly be overstepping.
But then again, she was Lin Mo’s Teacher, not to mention the hidden identity as his master. With the place “she” held in Lin Mo, Colleague’s, heart, what was wrong with answering on his behalf?
While she hesitated, the ringtone suddenly stopped.
She let out a sigh of relief.
If it kept ringing, she was afraid she might not be able to resist answering.
But soon enough, the same number called again.
She still restrained her curiosity and did not answer, upholding her sense of Teacherly morality.
But when it rang a third time, she realized something was wrong.
Fourth, fifth time…
She knew all too well where her growing irritation came from—this scene was all too familiar. Wasn’t it just like seeing 99+ missed calls?
Su Wanwan prided herself on being a good Teacher, but she was not someone to be bullied.
She couldn’t be sure it was that troublesome student Zhenrun, but—
Hoo…
Taking a deep breath, Su Wanwan answered the call.
She didn’t speak, waiting for the other party to go first.
She could hear the sound of breathing. Before long, the other person spoke up first: “Lin Mo-gege…”
Su Wanwan instantly fumed!
Finally, she’d caught the culprit!
What a sweet, little voice!
“Lin Mo, Colleague, isn’t here. If you have something to say, you can tell me. I’m his Teacher.”
The other person was silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a sinister little laugh: “I know you.”
“I really dislike you. I hate you very much.”
“But can I ask you for a favor? For this, I’ll give you anything you want, anything at all.”
Su Wanwan knew she couldn’t show the slightest sign of weakness, couldn’t let them sense any hesitation: “Say it.”
“Give Lin Mo-gege back to me.”
“He’s mine. As long as you give Lin Mo-gege back, I can give you anything I have, anything at all.” The gloomy voice came.
Su Wanwan found it a little funny, and also baffling: “Lin Mo, Colleague, isn’t an object. I can’t just give him away even if I wanted to. This Colleague, the way you’re speaking…”
“Give him back to me!”
“How amusing,” Su Wanwan said coldly.
“Amusing? Amusing…” The voice turned lost and listless: “I don’t want to hear you speak! Give the phone to Lin Mo-gege! I have something to say to him!”
Su Wanwan’s gaze grew sharp. She bit her lip and glanced at the empty passenger seat: “You think he can’t hear you?”
“He can hear me… Are you saying, Lin Mo-gege also thinks I’m ridiculous?”
Su Wanwan took a deep breath: “Yes.”
“…It’s true, I admit I’m ridiculous. But Lin Mo-gege, even someone as ridiculous as me, still, still…”
“Gege, please come back to me…”
A trace of guilt surfaced in Su Wanwan’s heart, but when she recalled what the flat-chested girl had done to her in the simulation, she couldn’t forgive: “Get lost.”
“W-what…”
“He told you to get lost. Lin Mo told you to get lost!”
“…Gege… I’m sorry…”
The other party’s breathing grew rapid, their mood extremely unstable.
“Gege… I understand… Don’t worry… I won’t appear again… I’ll disappear from your life… never sully your eyes again…”
Suddenly the tone shifted: “But you! Su Wanwan! Only you! I cannot forgive! If not for you! Gege wouldn’t even deny me the chance to make things right! You!”
“I’m going to break the Seal on Lin City! Let’s all die together!”
“Gege will definitely survive! But you, Su Wanwan, you’ll die horribly! In hell, I’ll watch you!”
“Bye-bye!”
With that, the call ended.
Afterward, Su Wanwan tried several times to call back, but after thinking it over, she put the phone down.
She was quite polite, actually—still said “bye-bye.”
Seriously, who was she trying to threaten?
Su Wanwan wasn’t scared that easily.
If a few words were all it took to make her yield, she wouldn’t be worthy to be Lin Mo, Colleague’s, Teacher!
At that moment, her own anger rose as well.
Though what the other party had said lingered in her mind.
Lin City, Seal?
That meant the city the other party was in was one of the first places to face the apocalypse.
It seemed she’d unwittingly attracted a major headache.
