Female Teacher: You're Not Allowed to Date!

As the sun set, the lingering glow of autumn filtered through gaps in the branches and leaves, draping Nuoding Academy's courtyard in a veil of gold. Li Yue and Xiao Wu sat on a stone bench as the evening breeze, carrying a faint chill, stirred their hair.

Xiao Wu's cheeks flushed slightly, her bright eyes sparkling. She suddenly leaned close to Li Yue and asked softly, "Brother Yue, are we husband and wife now?"

"Huh?" Li Yue's mind instantly went blank when he heard that. How had he and Xiao Wu become husband and wife?

He had not done anything yet. He and Xiao Wu were completely innocent; they were clearly just ordinary classmates. Their relationship was merely good enough that they could sleep in the same bed.

Before Li Yue could answer, Xiao Wu seemed to make up her mind. She stood up, lightly sat on his lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and slowly kissed him.

Xiao Wu's adorable face drew close before Li Yue's eyes. To him, she was moving extraordinarily slowly; all he had to do was turn his head to avoid her.

But Li Yue's greatest virtue was that he never wasted other people's goodwill. The virtues of diligence and thrift were practically carved into his bones—he would not let down a good girl, nor waste a bad one.

He had no intention of avoiding her. He and Xiao Wu were still only children. Children being affectionate with each other was a symbol of friendship!

Their breaths intertwined, and they could see their own reflections in each other's eyes. Even the air around them seemed to turn pink, growing ambiguous.

Looking at Li Yue's heart-stirring face, Xiao Wu felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up and her face burn. Though she had taken the initiative, she was also the first to retreat.

Li Yue's lips were soft and warm, stirring an unfamiliar feeling within Xiao Wu. Her heart pounded wildly, as though little deer were crashing about inside it, and a sweetness she had never felt before flowed through her heart.

So this was what kissing felt like? No wonder Mom said that if she met someone she liked, she would come to like kissing, along with more and more intimate things.

Li Yue's experience, meanwhile, was rather ordinary. Who would fall for a child? His tastes were simple: young, beautiful older sisters. The current Xiao Wu was not in his strike zone.

To him, this was truly just a way to deepen their friendship. His feelings for Xiao Wu had not changed in the slightest. They were still just good friends.

At the same time, he could not help sighing that children on Douluo Continent really matured early. In his first life, he had still been watching cartoons at this age, watching The Magic Warriors in kindergarten. Come to think of it, didn't The Magic Warriors have lots of girls too?

Just as Xiao Wu was immersed in this intimacy she had never experienced before and unable to pull herself away, the sound of footsteps approached from afar.

A young female teacher happened to pass by. She casually turned her head and saw the two children being intimate in the garden. Her eyes immediately widened, and her thoughts fell into chaos.

"What are you doing?!" The female teacher strode over, her voice carrying a hint of severity and her gaze filled with displeasure.

She never could have imagined that two children so young would be intimate in the little garden. At her age, she was still preserving her chastity, yet these two children were already kissing.

The female teacher looked at Li Yue. He was a student she had never seen before, with features as flawless as carved white jade. Even in his school uniform, it was obvious at a glance that he was a young noble boy raised under strict discipline.

Then she looked at Xiao Wu. She had the appearance of a little seductress, already knowing how to entice people at such a young age. What would happen when she grew up?

Now she understood why all the men she found attractive were already taken. Those shameless women had apparently made their moves back when they were in junior Soul Master Academy.

No wonder that when she entered Advanced Soul Master Academy and wanted to find someone to date, everyone was already paired off.

The men she liked were taken, while she had no interest in those who were not. That was why she was still single even now.

"Smack—"

Startled by the voice, Xiao Wu quickly pulled away from Li Yue like a frightened rabbit, wiping away the glistening strand stretching from the corners of their mouths.

Her already rosy face turned scarlet in an instant, but she still bravely looked at the female teacher. "We're husband and wife, so we can kiss. We can even have children!"

"Huh?" The female teacher was instantly stunned.

They were married at such a young age? Then kissing seemed perfectly normal, and having children even seemed reasonable.

No, no. The female teacher immediately came to her senses. How could children this young possibly be married? At most, they were engaged—just a childhood betrothal.

So what if they were engaged? That would not make things difficult for her. Did they think she could not lecture this little girl because of that? How naive!

"You're still so young. How can you do such things?" The female teacher frowned tightly at Xiao Wu.

"So what if you're married? You're both still children. There are things you can do and things you cannot do, and you don't yet know the seriousness of it. Especially you—how can a young girl be so bold?"

"Teacher, we were wrong. It was my fault." Li Yue tugged at Xiao Wu, who was about to argue with the female teacher.

It was enough to admit fault. It was no big deal to let this menopausal woman scold them a few times. It would be truly awful if she latched onto them.

"It was my fault. It has nothing to do with Brother Yue." Seeing Li Yue admit his mistake, Xiao Wu also yielded.

Seeing the two children admit their mistakes, the female teacher's tone softened slightly. "At your age, you should be studying properly. Don't let this sort of thing delay your cultivation. You'll have plenty of time for romance later."

This was a lie. In matters of love, whoever acted first won. Those who acted later could only watch helplessly as the man they liked loved another woman, while they themselves could only stand in the background and silently weep.

She merely wanted to lecture them a little. Back then, she had believed that nonsense, and it had left her single to this day.

"Mm-hm." Li Yue and Xiao Wu both nodded obediently.

"Alright, hurry back to your dormitory." The female teacher waved them away. Li Yue and Xiao Wu felt as though they had been pardoned and quickly turned to leave.

Only after they had gone far away did they relax. They looked at each other and laughed.

"That female teacher was so fierce. She definitely doesn't have a boyfriend, and no man would ever take a liking to her," Xiao Wu complained.

She had been having a perfectly nice intimate moment with Brother Yue in the garden, only for it to be interrupted. She felt deeply regretful.

"I think so too." Li Yue nodded.

He had not expected teachers on Douluo Continent to crack down on puppy love. That female teacher was definitely mentally twisted. She actually did not benefit from the romance-continent buff; she was probably still single now.

Still, part of what she said was indeed correct. They were truly too young, and cultivation should come first.
