I'll strip off your panties, pull out the elastic, and make a slingshot to shoot your butt!

After a nap on the soft grass, Ye Zhulan and Qin An finally headed down the mountain when the setting sun rested on a distant mountaintop...

They parted at the school gates just as the dance class let out. There wasn't a single boy in the dance class; none of them could swallow their embarrassment and learn to dance, always feeling that it was something only girls liked...

From the girls' chatter, he learned that Liao Yu taught dance too. She really could sing and dance, though unfortunately she wasn't much good at teaching Chinese, or so Qin An felt...

Qin An didn't want to run into Liao Yu. He dawdled for a while and, seeing no sign of her, figured she had probably left already. Only then did he enter the teaching building. He had left behind a 4B pencil, which cost one yuan apiece, the equivalent of his entire day's pocket money...

As he approached the art classroom, Qin An heard an argument. The voices seemed to belong to Luo Bofu and Liao Yu...

Qin An went up to the window and gently parted the curtains...

Liao Yu wore a tight, light-gray dance outfit with a white shirt tied around her waist, exposing a short stretch of her snowy calves, her skin delicate and translucent as jade...

She had her arms folded across her chest, making her milk-swollen breasts look even fuller and more lush. The shirt tied around her waist made it appear even slimmer, while the mature young wife's hips swept out from it in an exaggerated curve. Those intensely sensual curves often made one wonder whether she could bend her entire body any way she pleased when performing larger dance movements...

Perhaps because she practiced dance regularly, Liao Yu's figure had recovered very well after childbirth... She had never needed Qin An's superfluous reminder, and the full hips that had grown rounder after giving birth had a distinctive appeal that drew the eye...

A head taller than Liao Yu, Luo Bofu had a tall, straight figure, and his close-cropped hair made him look especially sharp. But his current ingratiating expression was rather objectionable; at least, that was the expression Liao Yu was giving him now...

"Look, we've been apart for so long. Ever since you had our little girl, we haven't been intimate for a year and a half..." As he spoke, Luo Bofu came over to embrace Liao Yu...

Liao Yu frowned in disgust and pushed Luo Bofu away, sneering, "Is your disease cured yet?"

"It was cured ages ago... ages ago. Didn't we agree not to bring that up again? I'll never do it again..." Luo Bofu put on a sincerely repentant look...

"Don't make me sick!" Liao Yu spared him no dignity...

Luo Bofu finally lost patience, and his expression turned unpleasant...

Listening to their argument, Qin An understood what had happened. While Liao Yu was pregnant, Luo Bofu had joined an art association in the county and slept with a model who frequently worked there part-time... Unfortunately, this so-called model was merely a prostitute with a sexually transmitted disease...

Luo Bofu was no decent man, but he hadn't been so depraved as to sleep with Liao Yu while she was pregnant after contracting the disease. Once Liao Yu gave birth, he ultimately failed to keep his infection from her. Now that he was cured, he could no longer restrain his lust for her soft, delicate skin and full, sexy figure...

"Get away!"

The two began struggling, and Luo Bofu reached out to pull at Liao Yu's clothes...

"I'll call for help..." Luo Bofu pulled away the shirt tied around Liao Yu's waist, exposing her soft, snowy waist. A slightly indented navel was visible on her flat belly, which bore not a single trace of childbirth. No wonder she dared wear a dance outfit like this; she had plenty of confidence...

"School's out, and it's Saturday. Shout all you like, we're husband and wife. Who's going to meddle in our private business?"

Luo Bofu was looking rather like a petty thug saying, "Go on, scream. The louder you scream, the more excited I get"...

Qin An drew back his slingshot, and a steel ball struck Luo Bofu's thighbone...

"Ah!"

Luo Bofu screamed, though there was only a little pain in the cry and far more panic... Qin An hadn't used much force, either. He only meant to drive Luo Bofu back and teach him a small lesson...

"Mr. Luo, haven't you heard of marital rape? So there are people who'll meddle..." Qin An loaded another steel ball and walked into the classroom, slingshot in hand...

Luo Bofu went deathly pale. He didn't know how much Qin An had heard. If a teacher was exposed as having contracted a sexually transmitted disease, his career would truly be over. "Setting an example" was the most basic standard of the teaching profession, and mistakes committed by a teacher with such an obvious moral failing were all the more unforgivable...

Luo Bofu couldn't imagine how he could show his face in the education system if word of this got out...

"You... when did you get here..." Luo Bofu stood stiffly in place, while Liao Yu also stared blankly at Qin An...

"I know everything I need to know..." Qin An moved into a corner and drew his slingshot, aiming at Luo Bofu. He wasn't sure what Luo Bofu might do, so it was better to be careful...

"Qin An... your name's Qin An, right? Don't tell anyone what just happened..." Sweat seeped from Luo Bofu's forehead as he forced a smile...

Liao Yu moved away from Luo Bofu, looking at Qin An and then at Luo Bofu, her heart heavy with worry too. If today's events got out, she would have no face to remain in the education system either...

"You don't deserve to be a teacher... and don't come near me. This slingshot isn't very powerful, but if I hit your face, it can still put another hole in your head... I can pretty much hit anything I aim at in this classroom. Ask Ms. Liao if you don't believe me..." Qin An had as good as admitted that he had broken Liao Yu's earthenware pot that day...

Liao Yu was in no mood to worry about that now. She was consumed by anxiety. If another student had seen this, that would have been one thing; with a little effort, she could always keep it quiet. But with Qin An, she had no confidence at all...

The slingshot in Qin An's hands was indeed intimidating, and Luo Bofu didn't dare approach. Holding both hands in front of himself, he moved aside. "Tell me... tell me what you want. As long as you don't tell anyone, whatever you ask for, I'll do my best to give you..."

Seeing Luo Bofu retreat, Qin An released the slingshot...

Smack!

The ball skimmed past Luo Bofu and struck the wall. A large chunk of plaster fell away, and the steel ball embedded itself in a gap in the cement exposed beneath...

While Luo Bofu was still stunned, Qin An flicked his fingers, placed another ball in the pouch, and drew back his slingshot...

When had Luo Bofu ever seen a student dare threaten a teacher with a slingshot? He stood dumbfounded for a moment before pulling a hundred-yuan note from his pocket. "Don't tell anyone about today. Take this money and buy yourself some candy..."

"Do you take me for..."

Qin An had meant to ask whether he took him for a three-year-old, but a thirteen-year-old wasn't so different, so he changed tack. "Are you fobbing off a beggar? Get out!"

Gritting his teeth, Luo Bofu took out all the tuition fees he had collected that day and put them on the desk, thinking that surely this thick wad of money would settle things with a thirteen-year-old boy.

Qin An glanced at the thick stack of hundred-yuan notes and sneered. "Get out!"

No longer caring about maintaining a teacher's dignity in front of Qin An, Luo Bofu gave Liao Yu a look, signaling for her to handle it, and hurried downstairs in a panic...

Only Liao Yu and Qin An remained in the classroom...

Quiet sobs rose, and two streams of tears ran down Liao Yu's fair, clean face. Her wet lashes clumped into a line, giving her a pitiful charm that could easily stir a man's protective instincts and compassion...

"Stop crying..."

Qin An's voice was cold. He was only a thirteen-year-old child now; wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to comfort Liao Yu? Besides, he didn't have a good impression of her...

How could Liao Yu hold back? After all the grievances she had endured these past days, she had now disgraced herself in front of a student she had mocked. How could she hold back?

"If you keep crying, I'll strip off your panties, pull out the elastic, and make a slingshot to shoot your butt!" Qin An said fiercely, only then realizing what an enticing scene he had just described...
