In fact, given these people's family backgrounds, if they were interested in women, they would already have plenty of experience—in this world, as long as you have money, you can get many things you need, including beautiful women.
This mature and beautiful Monica is alluring, but beautiful women can be found anywhere. Offending Young Master Xu will have far more serious consequences.
Although they secretly resented that another beautiful flower was about to be snatched away by this young master of the Xu family, everyone wisely stepped aside.
"I'm just curious." Xu Ershao walked to the podium, gently resting his hand on the edge of the table, and flashed his most carefree smile: "Monica, why would a woman like you choose to be a teacher?"
He went so far as to drop the title "teacher," clearly signaling a bold and undisguised attack.
Monica adjusted her glasses. Her captivating eyes swept over Xu Ershao's hand, which was resting on the edge of the table—Xu Ershao's hand was only centimeters away from Monica's hand—a gesture that was, of course, deliberate.
"Would you believe me if I said it was because of interest?"
Xu Ershao smiled, neither confirming nor denying, but deliberately leaned forward, his nose almost touching the tip of Monica's hair, pretending to sniff, his eyes carrying a hint of appreciation: "I like the scent of your perfume, Poison. It means you are a woman who likes adventure and a thrilling life."
“I am half French.” Monica seemed unconcerned about Xu Ershao’s aggressive posture—Xu Ershao’s current stance had far exceeded the appropriate distance between teacher and student.
The boy next to him felt helpless, but could only retreat further and further away.
"That's why I'm curious... Poisonous perfume. It's not suitable for a teacher." Young Master Xu seemed nonchalant, but his eyes were unabashedly fixed on Monica's face.
Monica smiled sweetly: "Similarly, your attitude is not how students should treat their teachers."
Xu Ershao shrugged, but gently reached out and took Monica's pen from beside her book, writing a string of numbers on the page.
"This is my phone number... I'll be waiting for your call before nine o'clock tonight—if you like adventure."
After saying this, Young Master Xu turned around and left the classroom with Chen Xiao without saying another word.
Only after walking out of the classroom did Chen Xiao sigh and glance at his friend: "Is this what they call playing hard to get?"
Xu Ershao smiled lazily: "A woman like her must have many men fawning over her. Instead of buzzing around her like flies, it's better to keep her in suspense. Maybe that will pique her curiosity. Picking up girls is really just psychological warfare."
Chen Xiao shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Xu Ershao's attitude.
However, Young Master Xu immediately turned his head to look left and right. Finally, his gaze landed at the end of the corridor. A strange smile appeared on his lips: "How was it? How was my performance just now? She saw it all, right? Did she look a little unhappy?"
Chen Xiao stared into Xu Ershao's eyes: "Did you know that Bai Cai was watching just now?"
“Of course.” Young Master Xu curled his lip. “Otherwise, why would I deliberately go up there to show off? I’ve seen plenty of women, and even the most beautiful ones are just like that.” He chuckled softly. “This Monica is alluring, but she’s not the kind of woman who would make me swoon. Women… Hmph, just throw out a million, and you’ll find all kinds: glamorous, innocent, charming, cute, gentle, hot… As long as there are women in this world who love money, then all of these are fine.”
As he spoke, he patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder: "Brother, trust me. If a problem can be solved with money, then it's not a problem."
Then, he gave a wry smile: "Only someone like Bai Cai, who can't even handle money, would really make me..."
Chen Xiao frowned: "Then why did you deliberately act so lewd?"
Xu Ershao smiled helplessly: "Because I'm naturally a lecher—she already has that impression in her mind, she's already convinced I'm a lecher. Even if I pretend to be innocent now, it's too late. But, if I want to get closer to her heart, I have to devise some roundabout tactics. For example, I was quite clingy to her the other day, and then I deliberately acted a little indifferent, pretending my interest had shifted... That way, even if the girl doesn't like me, she can't help but wonder: Huh? Why isn't he pursuing me anymore?"
Seeing Chen Xiao's uninterested expression, Xu Ershao sighed: "Alright, I know you're not interested. Sigh, you already have a top-notch kid at home, so naturally you're not very interested in a mediocre fan like Monica. Besides... it seems you've been getting quite close to Xiao Qing lately."
Seeing Xu Ershao's ambiguous smile, Chen Xiao deliberately put on a stern face: "Oh? Are you itching for a beating? Anyway, we still have time. Let's go to the exercise hall and I'll loosen your bones for you?"
"No thanks." Young Master Xu quickly shook his head, glanced around, and lowered his voice: "Please, I know you're a monster. Do you think I have masochistic tendencies to fight you?" His psychology was really accurate—it was something he had honed little by little from his countless glorious achievements.
Bai Cai's feelings have been quite complicated these past few days—she absolutely refuses to admit that she could be attracted to a "pretty boy with nothing but a pretty face and a lot of useless talent" like Xu Ershao! Even if she were to be attracted...
I remember that boy riding his bicycle, carrying me as he sped along...
But what that woman named Yan Hua said to me in the courtyard that day, and what I saw when I pushed open the door and went out... Xu Ershao's smiling face.
Bai Cai felt waves of helplessness wash over her.
Most women are emotional creatures, and a touch of weakness is inherent in their nature.
Moreover... this is the "future," is it destiny??
As the movie "A Chinese Odyssey" says: "It's all ordained by God, isn't that enough to make you arrogant?"
Faced with what is predetermined by fate, most people would probably choose to submit helplessly—those who can defy fate are a very small number of extremely powerful and capable individuals. Unfortunately, our Cabbage Girl is not among them.
Even she herself couldn't help but feel that her attitude towards Xu Ershao had changed a little recently.
Of course, this change can't be described as liking or having a good impression; it's just... a bit of curiosity.
Could it be... that this jerk is the one destined for me?
When people realize that the facts cannot be changed, their normal psychology often leads them to find excuses to comfort themselves: "Well, he's not so bad, at least he has a good appearance, and he's been quite good to me..."
But... he's too much of a womanizer! Too much of a lecher!
A man like that is absolutely unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable! Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely...
Uh, but... what if he could change his womanizing ways? Then...
Unbeknownst to her, Bai Cai would occasionally be horrified to find that her heart seemed to be softening. Although she was still resisting, this resistance was no longer as firm as before.
That day, this guy was showering Ya Ya with attention... and today, he's giving this new female teacher a lecherous look...
It makes me so angry just thinking about it!!
No, no, no! What does it matter to me whether he's a pervert or not! Right! It has nothing to do with me! Nothing at all!!
The next day, Bai Cai arrived at school with dark circles under her eyes. She was sitting in her classroom seat rummaging through her bag when suddenly a hand reached out and placed a beautifully printed envelope on the table.
As soon as Bai Cai turned her head, she saw Xu Ershao's smiling face, revealing his white teeth, his smile friendly, and his eyes gentle...
This attitude is a stark contrast to how he was fawning over other women and being indifferent to her just two days ago.
