After Pretending to Fall, They Revealed Their True Faces

The Teacher had just finished bathing.

Could it really be an empty-pants situation right now!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Pressure to Marry

Su Yumei put her undergarments away in the wardrobe.

Then, blushing, she sat down beside Lin Che.

As soon as the Teacher sat down, Lin Che caught a faint, lingering fragrance.

As Su Yumei shifted, the hem of her silk nightgown rose to a dangerous height. Su Yumei crossed her long legs, inviting all sorts of fantasies.

Especially when he thought about the Teacher possibly being an empty-pants situation under her nightgown.

Lin Che couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

"Student Lin Che, no matter what troubles you have, you can tell Teacher."

Su Yumei's gentle voice sounded in his ear.

Su Yumei had a concerned expression on her face, like a kind older sister next door worrying about her younger brother during puberty.

Lin Che met the Teacher's gaze. The care and doting in Su Yumei's eyes made Lin Che feel flattered.

Su Yumei was truly too gentle.

Lin Che's heart warmed, and he shared his troubles.

"Actually, a girl confessed to me today..."

"Ah!"

"Does this mean Student Lin Che is going to start dating? Teacher has never even dated!"

"Shouldn't a typical teacher sternly warn students against dating early? Teacher, your reaction is so strange!"

"Actually, it's very normal for boys and girls in puberty to have feelings for each other!" Su Yumei said righteously. "Moreover, if two people work hard together to get into the same university, it can actually improve their grades!"

Su Yumei was a very open-minded Teacher.

But in reality, she had just been hit by her own upbringing's boomerang. Because she was taught from a young age not to date early, it led to her own sexual repression, and she didn't want Lin Che to experience the same repression!

"However, I rejected that girl."

"Why?"

"Because I felt like that girl just saw me as a tool. She confessed to me just because she wanted me to be her simp and provide her with convenience in life."

"The world is really going downhill. Girls these days are all brainwashed by Little Red Book!" Su Yumei also said indignantly, "Student Lin Che, rejecting her confession was the right decision!"

"But..."

Lin Che hesitated, then decided to tell the Teacher his biggest worry.

"Actually, the other person is a classmate in my class. I'm worried things will get awkward at school..."

"It's okay!"

Su Yumei leaned towards Lin Che, reaching out a hand as if to comfort a child, stroking his back.

A lock of damp, long hair fell onto Lin Che's shoulder. Whether it was the scent of shower gel or Su Yumei's own fragrance, it entered Lin Che's nostrils.

Lin Che felt something soft and warm, like a soufflé, pressed against his arm.

Now he was certain: under the Teacher's silk nightgown, it was definitely an empty-pants situation!

"If the other person confessed impulsively, after the confession fails, they will most likely be too embarrassed to act as if it ever happened, so Student Lin Che doesn't need to worry."

"Is that so?"

After talking with the Teacher, all of Lin Che's gloom had dissipated.

Lin Che breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Teacher's attire was suggestive, nothing untoward had happened.

He had a pleasant chat with the Teacher, and the sky had darkened without him noticing.

"Thank you, Teacher. I'll be heading home then..."

"Mhm~ I'll see you at school."

Lin Che was about to go home, and Su Yumei stood up to see him to his doorstep.

Just as Lin Che was about to open the door and leave!

A knock sounded from outside the door!

"Su Yumei, are you home!? Mom's here to bring you some food~"

A middle-aged woman's voice came from outside.

"Oh no! It's my mom!"

Su Yumei's eyes widened, her pupils contracting, her face a mask of shock. Soon, the shock on her face turned into panic.

"Teacher's mom is here, I should head home quickly then. I won't delay Teacher and your mom."

"No!"

Su Yumei grabbed Lin Che's hand, stopping him from opening the door.

"We absolutely cannot let Mom see you!"

"If she sees a guy coming out of my room when I've just showered, she'll definitely misunderstand!"

"My mother is a very traditional person, she would never allow me to live with a guy!"

"If she sees you, she'll definitely scold me severely!"

Hearing Teacher Su, Lin Che also realized.

If Mother Su saw them like this right now, it would indeed easily cause a misunderstanding.

"Lin Che, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please hide for now!"

"But where can I hide?"

Lin Che looked around Su Yumei's apartment.

It was just a simple one-bedroom apartment; the moment the door opened, everything was visible. There was simply no place to hide.

"Su Yumei, are you home? Hurry and open the door, some food needs to go into the fridge immediately!"

Outside the door, Mother Su was still urging her on.

Su Yumei's beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety as she frantically searched for a place where a grown man could hide.

Finally, Su Yumei's gaze landed on the wardrobe against the wall.

"Student Lin Che, hide in there for now!"

Su Yumei pulled open the wardrobe door and shoved Lin Che inside!

Then, she closed the door. The light disappeared, and the surroundings became dark and silent.

The space inside the wardrobe was very small.

The clothes around him gave off Teacher Su's pleasant scent. Lin Che tried his best to curl up, but he still bumped into the clothes hanging in the wardrobe.

Judging by touch alone, Lin Che could roughly tell that most of them were school uniforms, white shirts, and tight skirts.

Besides those, there were a few long dresses; these were probably Teacher Su's casual wear!

And also…

Lin Che's hand touched a thin metal chain. Following the chain, it led to a leather-textured circle…

This was the collar he had used last time!

Lin Che was startled.

Lin Che had thought Teacher Su had thrown away such embarrassing little props, but he never expected to be reunited with it in Su Yumei's wardrobe!

Teacher Su kept this collar, could it be that she wanted to use it again in the future!?

Looking at it this way, Teacher Su might have already fallen in love with this kind of role-playing game!

While Lin Che was in shock, the voices of mother and daughter could already be heard outside the wardrobe.

"Mom, why are you here? I was just taking a shower, that's why I didn't open the door right away!"

"I was just afraid my daughter wouldn't have anything good to eat~"

Mother Su's voice carried the doting tone of the older generation.

"These are the dumplings I made with your dad, and also pork ribs, crispy pork… Come, quickly put them in the fridge."

"So much delicious food, thank you, Mom~"

"Oh my, if you really want to thank me, then hurry up and find a boyfriend to bring home to show us~"

"Mom! What are you talking about!"

Su Yumei's voice carried a hint of playful annoyance.

Hiding in the wardrobe, Lin Che chuckled inwardly. It seemed all mothers were the same, finding indirect ways to rush their daughters to get married!

"Yumei, you have a job now, and your life is better. Your parents are very proud of you, but… the fact that you don't have a boyfriend makes us very anxious!"

"Mom, please stop. I don't have any plans to date right now."

"Hey! You girl, not getting married is unfilial!"

Mother Su's tone became stern.

"Coincidentally, the auntie next door has introduced you to a good young man. Next week, you'll come home, and we'll arrange for you two to meet!"

"Mom! You're asking me to go on a blind date!"

Su Yumei finally understood everything. The talk about bringing food was just Mother Su's excuse; her real intention was to inform Su Yumei about the blind date.

Su Yumei felt like she was going to break. When she was in school, her parents didn't allow her to date, and after she started working, her parents were directly arranging blind dates for her!

She was twenty-five now and absolutely could not accept her parents' arrangements!

"Impossible, I absolutely will not go back for a blind date!"

"Hey! You little rascal, I just want you to see him once, I didn't say you had to be together."

"Then I'm not going to see him either! Because… because…"

Su Yumei bit her lip. There was only one way to handle her mother right now!

"Actually, I already have a boyfriend!"

"Oh really!?"

Mother Su was pleased instead of angry. "That's perfect! Bring him home next week so the family can meet him!"

"I don't think that's a good idea… he doesn't have time…"

"Hmph, such an important matter as meeting the family, and he can't make time for it? If he doesn't even care about something like this, then I say, it's better not to date a man like that!"

"Okay…"

Su Yumei gritted her teeth and could only agree!

After Mother Su left.

Su Yumei let Lin Che out of the closet.

"Teacher, I didn't know you had a boyfriend…"

"I… how could I possibly have a boyfriend!"

"Huh?!" Lin Che was startled. "Then Teacher, you lied to your mother, but what about next weekend? You already promised your family you'd bring your boyfriend home…"

Su Yumei's expression became shy, her fingers twirling her hair as her beautiful eyes looked at Lin Che pleadingly.

"So, student Lin Che, Teacher can only ask for your help!"

Chapter 30: Help

"So, Teacher means… you want me to be your boyfriend?"
