Wu Liang slowly raised his head and looked at Ye Luotong again. He hadn't expected her to have such a cute side.
He couldn't help but chuckle. Was this woman Ye Luotong actually Hero King Gilgamesh's biggest fan?
"Hey, brat, what are you laughing at?"
Just then, a slightly displeased voice suddenly sounded in front of Wu Liang.
Teachers Could Be Cute Too
"Hey, brat, what are you laughing about over there?"
The female voice that suddenly rang by his ear made Wu Liang pause.
Following the sound, he looked ahead and saw Ye Luotong, who had been lightly dozing just moments ago, staring at him with her arms crossed and an unhappy expression.
Her full, round breasts were squeezed out of shape, as though they were about to burst free from her pure white shirt.
"Oh, you're awake?"
Wu Liang waved and greeted Ye Luotong in a friendly manner.
For that moment, he did not even see her as his teacher, merely treating the beautiful woman before him as a friend.
But Wu Liang could hardly be blamed. Though he was currently a seventeen-year-old youth, his actual age was already a full twenty-five.
"Oh what? Call me Teacher here."
Ye Luotong frowned slightly. When had Wu Liang gotten here?
She had only taken a brief nap earlier, and she had always been a very light sleeper.
Yet she had failed to notice Wu Liang's arrival. Could it be that she had been too tired and had slept more deeply than usual?
Or had Wu Liang moved so carefully that he hadn't made the slightest sound? No, that was impossible.
How could that carefree and hot-tempered Wu Liang possibly be so gentlemanly?
"Ah, yes, Teacher Ye."
Wu Liang smiled awkwardly. He had forgotten that he was a student now.
After getting used to the life of a shut-in for so many years, adapting to campus life in such a short time was still somewhat difficult for him.
"You're certainly obedient enough."
Ye Luotong had not expected Wu Liang to listen so readily. In the past, he had always been too lazy to pay attention to her.
Especially when she lectured him, Wu Liang would always wear an impatient expression and look thoroughly irritated.
But the polite Wu Liang before her, quietly reading a book, made her feel as though she were dreaming.
If Wu Liang's earlier temperament had merely been accidental, then how was she supposed to explain this now?
"Did you call me here for something, Teacher?"
Wu Liang closed the book in his hand and walked over to Ye Luotong.
"Ahem, it's nothing much. Didn't you get hurt a few days ago?"
"Seeing that you were discharged so quickly, as your homeroom teacher, I naturally had to ask about your condition."
Ye Luotong blanked out slightly as she looked at Wu Liang standing before her like a mountain.
She quickly recovered, gave two dry coughs, and asked casually.
Yet her gaze inadvertently drifted across Wu Liang's face before finally settling on his forehead.
"You didn't even leave a wound behind?"
Ye Luotong murmured in disbelief. Not even a scar had been left behind?
Wu Liang had previously suffered a huge gash on his forehead, so why was there nothing visible now?
It was as though the wound had been transferred straight off Wu Liang's forehead. Forget a scar, not even the slightest crease remained.
What was going on? No matter how advanced the medical technology was, it should have been impossible to erase a scar in such a short time, right?
"Yes, Teacher Ye. Just as you can see, I've recovered, and the wound has completely healed."
Wu Liang spoke calmly as he touched his forehead.
The wound on his forehead had already healed when the bandages were removed. The newly grown skin was as smooth as a baby's.
In fact, Ye Luotong was not the only one who found it hard to believe. Even Yao Shi and Wu Liang himself had been rather dumbfounded.
Even his attending physician had worn a fanatical expression as he declared it a miracle in medical history.
If Wu Liang had not slipped out of the hospital quickly enough, he even felt that the attending physician might have dissected him alive.
"Are you really completely fine?"
Ye Luotong asked Wu Liang blankly, her small mouth hanging open.
This guy had indeed changed after getting hit on the head. The usual Wu Liang would never have spoken to her so patiently.
"If you have doubts, Teacher Ye, you can check for yourself."
Wu Liang knelt on one knee before Ye Luotong and slowly extended his right arm.
"Gulp..."
Ye Luotong stared blankly at Wu Liang, who had suddenly knelt before her, then lowered her gaze to the right arm he was holding out toward her.
His developed biceps formed beautiful lines, while the muscles on his sturdy forearm were brimming with power, possessing the texture of steel.
The firm, compact muscles left Ye Luotong staring wide-eyed.
"It really is... quite a sturdy body..."
As though possessed, she reached out with her small hand and squeezed Wu Liang's arm twice.
The solid feel of his arm made Ye Luotong sigh inwardly. She had not expected Wu Liang to possess such an absurdly powerful body.
"Is that enough, Teacher Ye?"
The male voice that suddenly rang out yanked Ye Luotong's wandering thoughts back.
When she suddenly realized that she was still squeezing his arm like some lovestruck fool, Ye Luotong's pretty face flushed, and she hurriedly withdrew her hands.
"Mm. After not seeing you for a few days, your body has indeed gotten much stronger. It seems you really have recovered."
After withdrawing her mischievous little hand from Wu Liang's arm, Ye Luotong resumed her usual stern expression.
But the little hand hidden behind her back continued fidgeting as though it still wanted more, making her look quite cute.
"Since there's nothing wrong with me, I'll head back to the classroom first."
"Oh, here's your lesson plan. I saw that you were resting just now, so I flipped through it a little."
Wu Liang picked up the book from the chair and placed it back on Ye Luotong's desk, then prepared to leave the room.
Bang!
A loud noise suddenly rang out behind Wu Liang. Before he could turn around to see what had happened—
Wu Liang suddenly felt his collar tighten as a powerful force yanked him straight back.
"Y-you-you-you-you! You read this book!?????"
Ye Luotong's face was as red as an apple as she nearly roared the words out.
Her beautiful face was filled with intense nervousness and unease, and the way she bit her lip made her appear utterly flustered.
"Epic of Gilgamesh? I did read it."
Wu Liang had never seen Ye Luotong wear such a shy expression, like that of a young girl.
His mind failed to process it for a moment. What was wrong with him reading that book?
"You!!!"
Ye Luotong was on the verge of losing her mind in fury and embarrassment. Why did that brat have to see that particular book?
Her image! The big-sister image she had worked so hard to establish in front of this little brat was completely ruined!!!
The more Ye Luotong thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. White steam could practically be seen rising slowly from her head.
"Isn't it cute? Not as a teacher, but as a girl."
Wu Liang looked at Ye Luotong in confusion as she clutched his collar and refused to let go.
"C-cute..."
Ye Luotong stared blankly at Wu Liang with flushed cheeks, suddenly not knowing how to answer him.
Those childish emoticons... she had thought only she found them cute...
The Young Master Enjoyed Helping Others
Ye Luotong's blushing little face looked especially adorable at that moment.
The way her gaze darted about was filled with embarrassment and panic.
Ye Luotong's earlier forceful attitude had weakened considerably. She now looked more like a young girl who did not know what to do.
"So, Teacher Ye, can you let go of me now?"
Wu Liang looked down at Ye Luotong before him. The small hand clutching his collar still showed no sign of releasing him.
If another teacher walked in right now, they would probably misunderstand something.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, he should keep a certain distance from Ye Luotong.
"Listen, you absolutely must not tell anyone about this, or else..."
After realizing how improper she was acting, Ye Luotong released Wu Liang's collar.
Her glaring eyes fixed tightly on Wu Liang's face, carrying the clear message that if he dared tell anyone, he would be finished.
Still, she had only herself to blame for being too careless. If she had been even a little more cautious, Wu Liang would never have discovered her secret.
She should not have kept such an important book within reach. Even if Wu Liang had not seen it—
If other students or teachers came by later, they might also discover her secret by accident, just like Wu Liang had.
Rather, it was fortunate that this brat Wu Liang had found out. He did not look like the sort to spread it around carelessly.
"Yes, yes, I definitely won't tell anyone that Teacher Ye has such a cute side."
Wu Liang raised both hands in surrender and smiled helplessly.
Ye Luotong was not an obtainable character in the game, but she existed as a special character.
If he could raise Ye Luotong's favorability, he would receive quite a bit of care from her at school in the future.
Ye Luotong looked strong-willed on the surface, but she was actually a very tsundere woman.
Though she could not be pursued, if he could grow closer to Ye Luotong—
She might be able to help him avoid future scripted deaths.
"Stop being slick. If I find out that you told anyone about this, then just wait to fail my history class forever."
Though you always fail it anyway.
Ye Luotong muttered the last sentence quietly. Wu Liang's grades truly were too terrible to look at.
She would not even need to deliberately arrange anything against him. Wu Liang ended every final exam in every subject with a score of zero.
In a sense, that was also something ordinary people would find difficult to accomplish.
Whenever Ye Luotong saw Wu Liang's zero-score papers, she sometimes wondered whether the brat actually knew the answers and had deliberately gotten every question wrong.
Even if he blindly guessed A, B, or C, there was no way he could perfectly avoid every correct answer.
"I won't tell anyone about this. Teacher Ye can consider it a secret between the two of us."
Wu Liang raised a finger to his lips in a gesture for silence.
"At least you know what's good for you. All right, there's nothing else today. I only wanted to ask about your condition."
