Hmph... this expressionless maid... this expressionless maid actually knows how to pick gifts...

Chapter Three: The Female Teacher Who Picked Her Feet

"Eh?! We're actually going on a long trip?!"

"Wuhu takeoff! I told you this week was going to be really good, but you didn't believe me! Our college is actually organizing a long trip! Oh my god! Heaven has opened its eyes!"

"Huh? You're actually going on a long trip? Should I prepare some pretty dresses or something?"

Upon hearing Ye Luotong's announcement of her upcoming trip, the entire class erupted in excitement.

The fact that Huihuangxing Academy, which had never had any large-scale outings, was actually implementing a long-distance travel plan was great news for everyone.

The classroom was now in complete chaos, with students chattering excitedly among themselves.

While the boys were curious about which interesting places they would visit, the girls were more focused on their clothes, cosmetics, and luggage.

After all, Ye Luotong had just said that this trip was a long-term plan that would last for half a month, and the students would definitely need to bring all kinds of luggage and stay outside.

So, more meticulous girls started thinking about what sunscreen and other everyday items they needed to bring.

"Quiet! It's still class time. Don't make a scene here, or I'll take all your spots."

Seeing the group of students suddenly acting like sheep being let loose, Ye Luotong rubbed her throbbing temples and said with a dark expression.

She should have known better than to tell these kids this news, but if she didn't tell them, there would be no way for them to prepare earlier.

But telling them now would only cause them to get overly excited, so it's troublesome whether we tell them or not.

"You two boys over there, get off your seats right now. If you're still dancing for me, you might as well not come back."

Ye Luotong slammed her hand on the table with a dull thud. Couldn't these brats just shut up for a second?

These students will be prominent figures in the near future, so can't they just be a little more composed?

"Oh no! Teacher Ye, I was wrong! Please don't cancel our trip! Waaaaah!"

"I'll sit down obediently now, Teacher Ye, please calm down..."

The two students who were called upon quickly jumped off their chairs and obediently sat down in their seats.

They shrank back and smiled sheepishly, afraid that Ye Luotong would exclude them from this trip.

You have to understand that this is a trip that Huihuangxing Academy has prevented. Huihuangxing Academy, which has never held any special events, would actually prevent students from going on trips. This can be described as a miracle that has never happened in a century.

This is a gift from God, and they don't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"I know you're excited and surprised to hear this news, but I advise you to tone down your excitement."

"It's still class time, and you all know very well what our ironclad rules are during class."

"If I see anyone here deliberately disrupting class, I won't hesitate to put your name on the pass list."

Ye Luotong crossed her arms and coldly swept her gaze across the faces of everyone in the room. After confirming that the group of brats had quieted down, she nodded in satisfaction, then sat down in the chair behind her and picked up her textbook to read.

"Cough cough..."

Ye Luotong coughed twice, then glanced awkwardly at a group of students in front of her. With the help of the podium, her long legs, encased in sheer black stockings, were crossed, revealing a few patches of pale white skin.

She slowly reached her right hand towards her ankle, took off the black high heels she was wearing, and gently massaged her toes as she had done in her childhood.

Ouch... these shoes aren't very comfortable today... her feet started hurting after just a few steps...

I made a terrible mistake buying these high heels. If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have bought them just because they looked nice.

Buying these shoes was a complete waste of her time and energy. Even if they look nice, they're no good if they're uncomfortable to wear...

"Things that are all show and no substance..."

Ye Luotong stretched out her small foot, which was tightly wrapped in black stockings, and kicked the black high heel that had fallen off to the ground.

Without her noticing, she unzipped the bodycon skirt a little, allowing her plump thighs to relax while also giving her a better massage for her toes.

After vigorously rubbing her feet a couple of times to relieve some of the pain in her toes, Ye Luotong a sigh of relief and smiled.

But for some reason, she inexplicably stretched out the palm of her hand that had been massaging her little feet for so long and carefully sniffed it.

"Hmm... it doesn't taste like much..."

Ye Luotong raised an eyebrow in surprise. It didn't smell bad at all. It seemed that the black tights she was wearing today were quite breathable.

At least her feet didn't smell, it's just that the high heels she was wearing today were a bit tight and made her uncomfortable.

Ding~~

Just as Ye Luotong was still smelling the scent of her fingertips, her phone, which was on the podium, suddenly lit up.

Instinctively, I picked up my phone and turned on the screen, only to find that the message was from that kid Wu Liang.

"This kid was actually using his phone during class... and he even dared to message me..."

Ye Luotong frowned as she looked at the message display. Wu Liang's audacity was truly growing.

So what if they've gotten a little closer? He's actually so brazen as to message her during her class! This guy is increasingly disregarding her as a teacher...

"Huh?"

Ye Luotong, who was about to wake Wu Liang to scold him, was stunned. Especially after seeing the contents of the message, her pretty face turned pale, and she froze on the spot as if petrified.

The color in her face was visibly fading, and her pale complexion made one worry that she might be feeling unwell.

"Teacher Ye, I'm in a good spot where I can see what you just did, but there's something I don't understand. Why did you put your hands to your nose and smell them for so long after rubbing your feet?"

Ye Luotong swallowed hard to soothe her parched throat, then twisted her stiff neck to look at Wu Liang by the window.

The other person was smiling and waving their phone at her, looking completely harmless.

"Wu Liang... come out with me for a moment..."

Ye Luotong stretched out her small foot and stomped into her high heels as she stood up from the podium.

She lowered her head and called Wu Liang's name in a low voice, her ears burning red with shame.

Why did it have to be Wu Liang who saw this indecent side of her...?

Chapter Four: Wu Liang's Invitation

'Rooftop'

A deep sense of embarrassment and shyness was churning within her, and her pretty face was burning hot enough to fry an egg.

Taking a few deep breaths to suppress the embarrassment churning within her, Ye Luotong coughed twice, straightened her chest, and looked at Wu Liang with a serious expression.

"Do you know why I suddenly called you out, Wu Liang?"

Ye Luotong tensed her facial muscles, trying her best not to appear strange.

She took a long, stiff step and leaned against the railing, opening her beautiful eyes and staring intently at Wu Liang, who was there with a half-smile.

Oh God, why did she have to take off her shoes and rub her feet? And if you're going to rub them, why did you instinctively put them in front of your nose and smell them?

If only she had been able to control that impulse back then, Wu Liang wouldn't have seen her in such an embarrassing state. It's really...

"Hmm, I think I know why you suddenly called me out, Teacher Ye."

"Teacher Ye, I didn't mean to mock you or tease you. I sent you this message to give you a reminder."

"After all, that spot is visible to everyone except me, so that's why I..."

Wu Liang shrugged, looking at Ye Luotong whose cheeks were flushed and almost purple, to show his complete innocence.

Actually, he didn't expect that Ye Luotong was usually so rigid and serious in class, would be picking her toes behind the podium with a straight face.

The reason he reminded her was simply to make Ye Luotong pay more attention; he didn't mean anything else by it.

After all, sitting on the edge of the window, he could see clearly, which meant that almost all the students in his area could see as well.

That's why he thought of reminding Ye Luotong in advance before others noticed. It would be fine if he saw it, since he already knew Ye Luotong very well and wouldn't find it a big deal.

But the other students were different. If they saw Ye Luotong, the stern-faced female teacher, rubbing her black-stockinged feet in front of everyone, they would even smell them a few times.

If nothing unexpected happens, the whole school will probably know by the next day, and by then Ye Luotong's carefully crafted persona will probably collapse.

"So, I should thank you, right...?"

Ye Luotong covered her forehead with her hand and muttered with a black line on her face, but she had to admit that what Wu Liang said was really right.

The other person was indeed just reminding him, but what could he do? These high heels were uncomfortable to wear today.

She's been feeling unwell all morning, and you won't even let her relax and rub her feet?

"You absolutely must not tell anyone what you just saw, understand?"

"You're not allowed to tell even your close friends like Rat and Nan Zhu, nor are you allowed to tell Yao Shi, Han Yu, He Xue."

Ye Luotong sighed heavily, loosened her slightly tight collar, and turned to look at the playground below.

What a mess these days are! Every time I see Wu Liang, nothing good ever happens.

"Yes, yes, I won't tell them. Let's keep this a secret between us."

"But Teacher Ye, how have you been lately? What are your thoughts after the exhibition ends?"

Wu Liang slowly walked to Ye Luotong's side and leaned on the railing with her, looking into the distance.

I haven't been in touch with Ye Luotong much since the cosplay convention, but she seems to be in good spirits lately.

After realizing her dream, has Ye Luotong rekindled her hobby of cosplay?

"Oh? It's really not easy for you to remember me. I thought someone like you, a young master, would have been forgotten by me long ago."

"Thanks to you and Qijiu, my life is so fulfilling right now. My phone is almost ringing off the hook with calls from organizers who want me to do endorsements."

Wu Liang really knows how to bring up the most sensitive topics, as Ye Luotong hadn't even thought about the troubles she'd been dealing with recently.

However, Wu Liang's sudden reminder made Ye Luotong furious when she recalled what had happened after the exhibition.

"Kid, if you guys hadn't insisted on dragging me to that International Exhibition, I wouldn't be getting these harassing phone calls every day."

Remembering the days when she was bombarded with phone calls from people claiming to be brand ambassadors, Ye Luotong suddenly turned around and grabbed Wu Liang's collar tightly.

She was furious. She thought it was just an exhibition to fulfill her dream, but who knew that the ultimate purpose of the exhibition was to help famous cosplayers gain wider recognition and sign contracts with film and television professionals.

Their phone numbers had already been exposed when they registered, so the film and television producers and various endorsement companies who witnessed their team's victory naturally wouldn't let this big fish slip by.

So, for the past week, she has been receiving invitations from all sorts of celebrities, and her phone has been bombarded with calls and text messages.

But she doesn't want to be famous, nor does she want to become a sensation as a cosplayer, and she doesn't want to develop in the film and television industry or take on endorsements.

All she wanted was to be a good teacher and live each day peacefully and steadily in this college.

"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. It's you brat and Qijiu who have been causing me to have insomnia lately."

"If I hadn't changed my phone number later, you and Qijiu, those two bastards, would have had your throats slit long ago."

Thinking about this made Ye Luotong furious. She pressed her forehead hard against Wu Liang's face and muttered angrily.

If it weren't for that brat and Qijiu insisting on dragging her to that lousy exhibition... she wouldn't have been bothered for so long...

Although the two people had good intentions, wanting to make her happier and to remind her of her past dreams.

But if she had known earlier that realizing her past dreams would come at such a terrible price, she would never have agreed, no matter how much Qijiu and Wu Liang begged her.

"Hmm... I didn't expect things to get so bumpy afterwards..."

"But Teacher Ye, can you let go of me now? Your face is a little too close."

Looking at Ye Luotong, so close that she could almost touch it with a little sweetness, and at Ye Luotong that exuded the fragrance of orchids.

Wu Liang raised his hands and smiled helplessly. Ye Luotong seemed to be treating him less and less like a student. What kind of teacher would treat her student like this?

"Hmm..."

Upon noticing this, Ye Luotong hurriedly released Wu Liang, as their actions had indeed been somewhat ambiguous.

If other students saw this at such a time, they would naturally misunderstand, and by then, even if she had eight mouths, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

"Teacher Ye, could you come to my house tonight?"

Wu Liang straightened the wrinkles in his clothes and suddenly spoke, he had some questions he wanted to ask her...
