Tong Daqi thought to himself: It's just a little scholarship, why are so many people racking their brains to compete and "snatch" it? Sigh, if even universities are like this, no wonder people in society are so restless and materialistic... Sigh, whatever, it's none of my business!
At the start of the new semester, Daqi continued to visit the library with three beautiful girls from time to time. He still occasionally chatted and drank tea with Director Bai and Old Zhong. Old Zhong asked him, "Little Tong, did you go to donate blood?" Daqi replied, "Teacher Zhong, no, my manners and awareness aren't high enough." Old Zhong laughed heartily, "I thought you went to join the fun too. Hey, if the government stipulated that teachers could receive more housing provident fund for donating blood, I think the line would be longer than the students'!" The two of them burst into laughter...
As time went by, it seemed that more and more people were talking about SARS. Whether in the cafeteria or the dormitory; whether in the classroom or the hallway; wherever Daqi was, more and more people were discussing SARS, because Daqi would be going home for the weekend. Some said how many people had died in different places, some said how many people were suspected cases, and some said that it seemed someone in Rongzhou had also contracted SARS. Wow, the whole city was buzzing with rumors!
When Daqi returned to school this weekend, the class monitor announced a notice: the school announced that all students were prohibited from leaving campus immediately. Everyone was to come to me at noon to collect preventative medicine… Well, that meant Daqi and the three girls, Xiaoling and her two friends, would have to stay at the school. However, the school's checks didn't seem as strict as promised, because three days later, Daqi and the three girls slipped back to Baisha Apartment. As soon as they left the school gate, Daqi noticed that many pedestrians were wearing masks. Daqi laughed, “Three beauties, aren't you scared?” Beibei said, “Scared of what? Let's die if we have to!” Xiaoling said, “Being afraid of death isn't what Communist Party members are like. The three of us are all preparing to join the Party, why are we afraid of SARS?” Jiaxin said, “Chairman Lin, what a bold statement! I admire you, I admire you!” The four of them burst into laughter. It should be said that Binhai Media College was relatively lax in its management, but it still issued each student a pass to enter and exit the school. Normally, many non-students and administrative staff could easily enter the school, but now it was much more difficult.
Because they needed to prepare for the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4), Daqi and three female students would also study English books and do CET-4 practice questions. Han Meng called Daqi: "Daqi, let's start tutoring..." Every Wednesday evening, Daqi would drive to Han Meng's house. Han Meng taught very carefully, and Daqi studied quite diligently, but he knew he definitely wouldn't pass.
That day, Han Meng was tutoring Da Qi when suddenly...

As the phone rang, she said, "I'll go to my room to answer the call. You can read your book by yourself." Daqi smiled and nodded, then started reading. About an hour later, Han Meng came out of the room, her eyes red. But she still patiently explained English to Daqi. Daqi sensed something was wrong and said directly, "Teacher Han, you...you seem troubled? What happened?" Han Meng sighed and tears welled up in her eyes. She said, "My husband said he won't go back to China, afraid of catching pneumonia." Daqi said, "Is pneumonia really that scary?" Han Meng said, "I told him it was okay, and asked him to come back and see me, but he...never mind, I won't say anything more..." Daqi felt depressed after hearing this. He didn't know why, perhaps because Han Meng was in a bad mood, his mood was also not good.
For the next two weeks, Han Meng didn't come to class. Da Qi only went to her for a make-up class once. Suddenly one day, the school notified Da Qi's class that Teacher Han was sick and couldn't come to class. The department also separately notified Tong Da Qi: "Go home for two weeks because you've been in contact with Teacher Han. We'll let you know when you should come back. Don't tell other classmates that you're in quarantine; just say you took leave to go back to your hometown." Fortunately, the school didn't know that Da Qi, Xiao Ling, and the other two were living together, so Da Qi immediately called them and asked them to come back to school temporarily and not to mention that they were living together.
Daqi knew that, just in case, the school wouldn't allow Teacher Han to come to class. He immediately called Han Meng.
Daqi: "Teacher Han, are you alright? The school wants me to leave temporarily. Ugh, I'm so depressed."
Han Meng: "If anyone's to blame, it's me. I've had a high fever for the past few days, and the school told me to stay home and rest. They asked me who else I had been in contact with, and I said I had been in contact with you. Daqi, I'm so sorry, I've dragged you into this."
Daqi: "Teacher Han, why do you say that? I'm fine, and I believe you're fine too. There aren't that many SARS cases. The school is on high alert right now. I came to see you!" After saying that, Daqi bought a lot of fruit and other things and went to Han Meng's house. Although Han Meng smiled and welcomed him into the house, her face was noticeably paler and she had lost a lot of weight.
The two sat on the sofa. Han Meng poured Daqi a cup of tea, and they began to chat. Han Meng said, "Daqi, we've both become 'suspected' cases." Daqi said, "If we become SARS patients, the entire Binhai Media Group will probably be quarantined by the government." Han Meng said, "I called my husband a few days ago and told him I had a high fever. He was terrified and said I had SARS. I almost fainted. He didn't say a single word of comfort." Daqi said, "Teacher Han, your husband is too..." Daqi didn't dare to finish his sentence. Han Meng smiled slightly and said, "There's nothing I can do. We're husband and wife, so we can't be so petty. Come on, let's have dinner together. Do you want to eat out or at my place?" Daqi said, "I'm easygoing. I would be honored if I could taste Teacher Han's cooking!" Han Meng smiled and went to cook. Daqi sat in the living room watching TV.
After dinner was ready, Han Meng and Da Qi ate alone in the living room. Han Meng said, "Da Qi, you really don't blame your teacher? I caused you to be 'quasi-quarantined'." Da Qi smiled and said, "Teacher Han did this for my studies. If I blamed you, I'd have no conscience. Teacher Han, don't worry, even if there really is SARS, I'll stay with you!"
Daqi didn't know why he blurted out that sentence; he said it so naturally, and he would definitely do it! Saying it was one thing, hearing it was another. Han Meng felt a warmth in her heart after hearing it, thinking that this young man was really nice, unlike her husband, who hid in Canada and refused to return home as soon as he heard about SARS. Han Meng thought Daqi was really cute; although a bit carefree, he was definitely like a man!
Han Meng said, "Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Daqi: "Of course I'm scared. But if you get SARS, Teacher Han, I'll definitely stay with you. We'd rather die together. Teacher Han, you're the best teacher."
Han Meng was so moved that she started to cry, making Da Qi think he had said something wrong. He quickly apologized, "Teacher Han, I...I...did I say something wrong?...I..." Han Meng shook her head and said, "Da Qi, let's eat. Do you like the food I make?" Da Qi nodded vigorously and said, "It's delicious!" To make Han Meng happy, Da Qi wolfed down his food, and Han Meng quickly said, "Slow down, slow down..." They both smiled...
Daqi said, "Teacher Han, I'm in quarantine now too, and it's not good for you to stay home all by yourself. I think I'll come and keep you company for the next few days, and you can teach me some English, so you'll have something to do. Is that okay?" Han Meng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Daqi was in an exceptionally good mood as he drove home tonight. He hummed a little tune all the way. When he got home, many of his wives were overjoyed and asked, "Why are you back?" Daqi replied, "The school quarantined me, afraid I might have SARS." Daqi explained the reason for his "quasi-quarantine" to his wives. Qianru said, "You should have contracted SARS, so you and Teacher Han would be quarantined together." Chunxiao said, "Yes, that would directly lead to a 'teacher-student love story'!" Everyone laughed. Daqi said, "I long for it, I dream of it, I look forward to it, but how could Teacher Han possibly fall in love with her student?" Pingjia said, "That's not necessarily true!"
Pingjia said softly, "If you and your mother-in-law can fall in love, what's wrong with taking your beautiful teacher under your wing?" Daqi laughed and gently tugged at her ear, saying, "Jia'er, you're overthinking it." Pingjia stuck out her tongue. Daqi saw Ye Huan and Zheng Jie and asked, "Aren't you going to class?" They replied, "We're doing our internships. There's SARS now, so we're not going back to school. By the way, we're planning to become teachers at an arts school. Master, would you like us to go?" Daqi said, "What, Jie'er is going to the provincial arts school too?" Ye Huan said, "Yes, I recommended her. The principal wanted me to be a ballet teacher, and I told her directly that I hoped Zheng Jie could be a vocal teacher there. After the interview, they thought Jie'er sang well and agreed. It just so happens that a vocal teacher there retired." Zheng Jie happily said, "I have to thank Huan'er for the recommendation!" Ye Huan said, "It's all thanks to Master for sending me to the ballet training class. If I hadn't had that performance, they wouldn't have wanted me. They wanted me, so I could recommend you." Daqi said, "Jie'er is lucky!" Zheng Jie smiled and said, "Thank you, Master, you are the root cause of our success."
Chapter 29: Teacher-Student Romance
Daqi said to Ye Huan and Zheng Jie, "Seeing how happy you two are, you must really enjoy teaching at the art school. Alright, alright, if you like it, that's good. Go ahead, I'm happy for you. You have plenty of cars at home, and you can drive, so take one to work." Ye Huan and Zheng Jie said, "Thank you, Master!" That evening, Ye Huan and Zheng Jie helped Daqi bathe, because Daqi had said he would spend the night with them. The two women very attentively washed his body, and the three of them soaked in the hot water together. For some reason, Han Meng's image kept appearing in Daqi's mind.
He was overjoyed: this SARS outbreak had actually put him and Han Meng in a kind of "quasi-isolation," meaning he could spend every day with Teacher Han, as promised, he would go to her for tutoring. Teacher Han was truly wonderful to him. Teacher Han, you're so good to me! You're so beautiful, mature, sexy, and generous—I really admire you!
The two beautiful mixed-race women, Ye Huan and Zheng Jie, skillfully washed his entire body. They had been serving Da Qi for a long time and worked together seamlessly. Looking at their delicate faces and slender figures, Da Qi couldn't help but feel a surge of desire. Especially Ye Huan, the mixed-race beauty, whom he had always been very fond of. From the first time he took her virginity until now, she had always been very obedient and compliant. Da Qi knew that these two beautiful girls always regarded him as their master, the ruler of their hearts.
Daqi said softly, "Huan'er, come here, let me hold you." Ye Huan stopped washing and nestled into Daqi's arms. Daqi held her slender waist, while Zheng Jie continued washing him. Ye Huan whispered, "Master, I love you so much!" Daqi smiled and nodded, gently stroking her luscious red lips. Her lips were moist and incredibly sexy. Daqi said, "Huan'er, you're such a good girl, I really like you." Ye Huan said, "Since you entered university, you've gained three more women: Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin. Master, how do they treat you?" Daqi said, "Are you jealous?" Ye Huan shook her head and said, "No, I'm just asking. The three of them are indeed quite good-looking, so it's only right that they serve you. I can tell that you have feelings for them too." Daqi said, "Women who are good-looking should serve me? What kind of logic is that?" Zheng Jie said, "Master, you are the best and most outstanding man I've ever met. Don't even mention those three female students serving you, even if the beautiful Teacher Han you just mentioned served you, it wouldn't be a problem." Daqi laughed heartily after hearing this, "Han Meng has a husband, it's nothing to me." Zheng Jie had just finished washing Daqi's body and leaned in to kiss him. "So what if she has a husband? I don't think Teacher Han's husband truly loves her. She's practically 'quarantined' by the school now, while her husband is in Canada and hasn't come back to be with her. I feel so sorry for Teacher Han." Da Qi said, "It's their family matter, I shouldn't pry. But seeing Teacher Han so sad makes me feel bad!" Ye Huan said, "So, Master has some feelings for Teacher Han too!" Da Qi said, "You're overthinking it. I'm a student, she's a teacher. Hey, this is really strange today. Why is everyone making fun of me and Han Meng?" Ye Huan smiled and said, "Master, it's not that we're making fun of you, it's the way you talk about Han Meng in front of us. Anyone with eyes can see it." Da Qi said, "See what?" Zheng Jie said, "See that Master has those feelings for her!"
Da Qi thought to himself: "It's all over, it's all over, how could this be? No way, my feelings for Han Meng are just out of respect. But when she offered to tutor me, I was genuinely happy... Could it be that I've really been attracted to Han Meng without even realizing it? No way..."
Daqi himself couldn't face whether he had truly fallen for Han Meng. In fact, his wives already believed he had. Ye Huan said, "Teacher Han must be a great beauty!" Zheng Jie said, "Didn't Master say she's very pretty?" The two women giggled. Daqi smiled as he watched them put their two index fingers into Ye Huan's and Zheng Jie's warm mouths, respectively. The two women knowingly sucked on his fingers, their faces full of flirtatious smiles. Daqi was extremely pleased with himself: These two girls are so cute, I absolutely adore them! He suddenly thought how wonderful it would be if Han Meng were Zheng Jie in front of him!
The moment this thought crossed his mind, Daqi was secretly shocked: Teacher Han, I really have fallen for you! But he also blamed himself: I shouldn't have done this. Teacher Han is so good to me, how could I have such dirty thoughts? Oh, I shouldn't have!
But when Ye Huan began kissing his entire body, he genuinely thought: how wonderful it would be if Han Meng did the same! After enjoying the kisses of Ye Huan and Zheng Jie, Da Qi led the two women to the bedroom, all three naked. After ample foreplay, Zheng Jie, with her back to Da Qi, lay on the bed and said seductively, "Master, I am your lovely Han Meng. Meng'er needs Master, hurry..." Da Qi stared at Zheng Jie in astonishment, his already heightened desire completely stunned: because Zheng Jie did indeed resemble Han Meng somewhat, especially her face shape. Of course, the two were different beauties, just somewhat similar. Da Qi then remembered: he had once mentioned in front of his wives that Zheng Jie resembled Han Meng a little. And now, this seductive girl was offering herself up as "Han Meng." Ye Huan also said, "Master, we are all your Meng'er, all your most obedient women." After she finished speaking, she and Zheng Jie struck the same pose to welcome Master Daqi's "favor." Daqi didn't care about anything else. He knelt behind the two "Han Meng" and kept enjoying their bodies. Zheng Jie was the most interested. When Daqi was enjoying her, she actually said in a coquettish voice, "Master... Master, I am Meng'er... Meng'er..." Daqi was particularly excited tonight, perhaps because the two beauties said that they were Han Meng.
Daqi finally satisfied himself in Zheng Jie's small mouth, but he felt it was Han Meng's mouth, not Zheng Jie's. Afterwards, the two women smiled seductively and asked Daqi, "Master, did you like it like this?" Daqi smiled and nodded, saying, "Where did you two learn this?" Ye Huan said, "This is called mutual lust, hehe, comfortable, right?" Daqi nodded and said, "Jie'er, your performance today was the best ever. Come here, Master will reward you with a kiss!" Zheng Jie immediately brought her cheek close to Daqi's mouth and said, "Meng'er thanks Master!"
Daqi thought to himself: "Hey, this little girl is still going on and on!" After gently kissing Zheng Jie, he said, "From now on, don't be like Han Meng. Just be yourself, understand?" Ye Huan said, "Why, Master? Don't you like her?" Daqi said, "I'm Teacher Han's student, I shouldn't have any thoughts about her. Just be yourself from now on." The two girls nodded and said, "Yes, Master!" But the two girls were still very happy because they knew that their master, Daqi, had a smile on his face.
Daqi's phone rang; it was Xiaoling calling. She asked why he had left school. Daqi, afraid of worrying them and causing unnecessary panic, simply said, "I went home to see my mom. The three of you shouldn't stay at Baisha Apartment for a while; we'll discuss everything when I return to school." Xiaoling agreed, and Beibei and Jiaxin also called, with Daqi telling them the same thing. The school had repeatedly instructed him, "Xiaotong, just say you're going back to your hometown for some business, probably in about 20 days. Come back to school when you're free." Han Meng was told the same; the school told her to return after her cold had subsided. During this time, her classes were temporarily covered.
Daqi, with nothing to do, stayed home taking care of the kids and spending time with his wives. His wives said, "Business at the coffee shops is much worse; all the foreigners have left and gone back to their countries." This was because Daqi's coffee shops mainly catered to foreigners. Daqi said, "Let them go, let nature take its course. We won't starve. Let's just close down for now; I doubt anyone will come anyway." So, both coffee shops closed, and Daqi's wives went on vacation at home. Qiwen said, "SARS has really affected our family." Daqi said, "It'll be fine in a few months; the foreigners will come back." Qiwen said, "Honey, do you think the government can control SARS? I heard the mayor of Beijing and the Minister of Health have both resigned." Daqi said, "They made such a huge mess with their jobs; how can they not resign?" Daqi had also seen the news and knew that high-ranking Chinese officials had resigned because of SARS. This intensified the attacks on the Chinese government by overseas radio stations, claiming that the Chinese government was completely incapable of handling the SARS epidemic. Daqi shouted directly at the radio, "Bullshit!" He firmly believed that China could successfully combat SARS, even though the media was reporting extensively on the increasing number of "suspected" cases in various places.
He called home and asked his mother, "Mom, is everything alright at home?" His mother replied, "Some pneumonia! It's causing chaos throughout the whole town! A senior high school student at Changqing No. 1 High School has a high fever, and it's making the whole county..."

Section Reading 231
"Everyone in the city is terrified," Daqi said. "What? Someone at my alma mater has a high fever. A high fever doesn't necessarily mean 'suspected SARS'." His mother said, "I don't know. The student and his class are quarantined now. A lot of doctors are going in and out of Changqing No. 1 High School every day." Daqi said, "Damn it, the college entrance exam is coming up soon. If something like this happens, the students' grades will be affected. How is that child now?" His mother said, "I heard his condition is improving. I hope it's not SARS, otherwise the whole city will be under lockdown!" Daqi said, "Mom, don't worry, no one will die. Changqing No. 1 High School has such good feng shui, nothing like this will happen!" Daqi was just comforting his mother; actually, feng shui had nothing to do with SARS!
Daqi continued to go to Hanmeng's for tutoring, and Hanmeng would always get him some treats. Daqi never hesitated and ate heartily. One day, after tutoring Daqi, Hanmeng said, "Daqi, let's go for a drive today. I'm getting so bored at home these past few days." Daqi asked, "Teacher Han, aren't you afraid of SARS?" Hanmeng smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? We're not taking the bus." Daqi said, "How about this, you can ride in my car." Hanmeng nodded, and the two drove to a park near Rongjiang Bridge. After parking the car, Daqi and Hanmeng strolled around the park.
Daqi: "Teacher Han, what did your husband say?"
Han Meng shook her head and said, "He's not coming back..."
Daqi: "What? No way, this SARS won't last long."
Han Meng said, “Actually, he has always wanted to immigrate to Canada, and he has enough money. But I have never wanted to go because I like staying in my own country. He has always been uncomfortable about this. He has asked me countless times, ‘What’s wrong with Canada? What’s good about China?’ I just don’t want to leave China, and I don’t know why. Although I studied English and I can communicate fluently with foreigners, I told him, ‘I don’t object to going out to see the world, but I am unwilling to completely give up my Chinese citizenship and become a Canadian.’”
Daqi said, “Many people with money like to go abroad. Actually, I’ve never understood why. If they have enough money abroad, can’t they still develop in China? Does that mean China today is still the same as before? I don’t think so. As long as you have real strength, no one can suppress you. Take me for example, a few years ago I was just a penniless pauper…” Daqi briefly recounted his business career. Han Meng listened with great interest. She said, “Wow, Tong Daqi, you’re so amazing! No wonder your speech is different from that of ordinary students. Your knowledge surprises me. I often thought your level was no less than that of a university professor. It turns out your experience is far more exciting than that of the average teacher!”
Daqi asked, "Professor Han, how did you become a university teacher?"
Han Meng said, “I graduated from Southwest Normal University with a major in English education. However, I didn’t become a teacher right after graduation; you are the second class I’ve taught. I worked for a foreign company right after graduation. At first, I found interacting with foreigners quite interesting, but later I found it boring. Because I come from a family of teachers. Later, my husband used his connections to get me a job at Binhai Media, and I became a university lecturer, starting as a teaching assistant, of course. I think I really like this job. Because I like my job, I don’t want to immigrate to Canada. Maybe the environment there is better, but my parents are in China, and I don’t want to leave them. Even if they are no longer alive, I feel I shouldn’t leave China. I’m not saying I’m particularly patriotic, but the cultural environment here suits me. I understand a little bit of British and American culture, and I really don’t like their way of dealing with people; China is still better! But I also love my husband, yet he insists on immigrating. Sigh, it’s such a dilemma!”
Daqi asked, "Does your husband love you very much?"
Han Meng nodded and said, "I always thought he loved me very much, and he would discuss everything with me. But now, I don't know what he's thinking. Now that SARS is happening, he's determined to immigrate. Yesterday on the phone, he said, 'China is too dirty, with so many epidemics. I'd rather die than go back to China.' It was the first time we'd ever argued on the phone. I asked him what would happen to my parents if I went to Canada. He said, 'It's simple, just send them money.' I said, 'My parents have retirement pensions, do they need money?' Anyway, I guess it's over between us. Oh well, let him be! It's best if he never comes back! What he said yesterday really broke my heart."
Daqi: "Oh, what did you say?"
Han Meng said, "It wouldn't have mattered if I told you, but he said, 'Your parents are such a burden!' He actually called my parents a burden! I immediately got angry and said, 'Weren't you born of my parents? Let's get a divorce!'"
"Divorce?" Daqi exclaimed in surprise. "Teacher Han, this is no joke!"
Han Meng said, "Fine, let's get a divorce then. I don't care!" After saying that, Han Meng actually started to cry.
Daqi understood: Teacher Han said she didn't care, but she cared a lot! He couldn't care less, and actually pulled out a tissue to wipe her tears in front of everyone. Han Meng suddenly collapsed into his arms and burst into tears, crying very sadly… Daqi shook his head, thinking: Han Meng's husband is crazy! He has money, a house, and a beautiful wife—he lacks nothing—why does he have to go to Canada to "eat shit"?! Is the "shit" in Canada more fragrant? Damn it!
Of course, Daqi only cursed Han Meng's husband in his heart; he didn't dare say it to her face, after all, he was Han Meng's husband! Seeing Han Meng crying so sadly, he almost cried himself. The two returned to the car, Han Meng still crying, and Daqi kept wiping her tears. Han Meng said, "Daqi, let's go, I want to go home!" Daqi shook his head, started the car, and drove towards Han Meng's house.
Back home, Daqi and Han Meng sat on the sofa in the living room. Daqi simply comforted her, saying everything he could, such as "Teacher Han, try to think positively," and "Teacher Han, don't cry," etc., not knowing what else to say. But he very naturally wiped away her tears. Han Meng suddenly leaned into his arms and cried again, but this time she only sobbed, not cried loudly. Daqi, not knowing where he got the courage, naturally pressed his lips to Han Meng's cheek and kissed away her tears. Accompanied by the soft moans of the beautiful teacher in his arms, Daqi naturally pressed his lips to Han Meng's fiery red lips. Han Meng shyly responded to her student's teasing.
In truth, these past few days of spending time together had allowed Daqi to enter Han Meng's heart. Coupled with her current extreme emptiness and helplessness, Daqi conveniently took advantage of her vulnerability. Han Meng herself wasn't sure if she loved Daqi, but she inexplicably developed a dependence on him. She felt Daqi was a mature man, even though he was her student. Daqi, on the other hand, had long harbored feelings for Han Meng; from the first day he met her, he was filled with affection for her. His willingness to kiss his teacher was enough to prove that he loved Han Meng.
Daqi and Han Meng sat on the sofa. He embraced the beautiful teacher, his tongue exploring her warm mouth, gently tracing her clean teeth and fragrant tongue. Han Meng, though embracing Daqi gently, was still a little shy. Daqi, a seasoned player in matters of the heart, deduced from Han Meng's embrace: "Teacher Han, my delicate beauty, so you have feelings for me too. That's wonderful, that's wonderful!"
Daqi continued to suckle Han Meng's tongue, savoring the delicious taste of the beautiful teacher's saliva. He slowly turned Han Meng down onto the sofa, and Han Meng only let out a few soft "hmm" sighs. These sighs sounded like a protest, yet also like encouragement. Daqi felt it was encouragement, encouraging him to enter the teacher's heart, encouraging him to capture the teacher's affections, encouraging him to obtain the teacher's body! He gently unbuttoned Han Meng's clothes one by one... When Han Meng was completely turned into a "Venus" by Daqi, a tear of gratitude rolled down her cheek, but Daqi quickly kissed it away.
Throughout the entire ordeal, Han Meng did not stop Da Qi. So, after kissing Han Meng's entire body, especially her breasts, Da Qi gently merged his body into hers. Or rather, Han Meng's body merged into Da Qi's body; one could even say they became one, fused together…
Daqi lay panting on Han Meng's delicate body, while Han Meng gently stroked his back. Their passionate yet leisurely "game" came to an end. Han Meng said, "Daqi, get up. Don't keep pressing down on your teacher." Daqi quickly straightened up and used tissues from the coffee table to wipe Han Meng's body. He hurriedly finished wiping himself as well, and they both got dressed. Daqi looked at Han Meng, who smiled and said, "Daqi, do you think your teacher is lewd?" Daqi hugged her tightly and said, "Teacher Han, I love you. You're not lewd at all. You're the best teacher in the world!" Han Meng said, "But you're not a good student!" Daqi blushed. Indeed, he also felt that he couldn't believe he had done this with his teacher. But he was incredibly happy inside.
Daqi thought to himself: Teacher Han, I love you. I don't dare to hope that you will become my wife, but at least we are already lovers! Daqi, everything is up to your own wishes!
Daqi smiled and said, "Teacher Han, please don't blame me, I..."
Han Meng gently kissed him and said, "To be honest, I don't know why I fell in love with you. But we're teacher and student, so please don't let anyone else know our secret, okay? Not even your lover!"
Daqi nodded and said, "Don't worry, teacher, I will always respect you. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will listen to you."
Han Meng said, "You usually act like a grown man, so why are you acting like a primary school student right now? Is it because I'm your teacher?"
Daqi nodded and said, "I love you, teacher, but I respect you even more!"
Han Meng said, "Daqi, from now on, just call me Sister Meng in private. I've always treated you like a younger brother. I'll call you Brother Qi."
Daqi immediately hugged her and exclaimed, "Yes, Sister Meng!"
Sister Meng, what a beautiful, affectionate, and pure title! Daqi has always felt that his relationship with Han Meng is pure, without the slightest impurity or discomfort! Sister Meng, Daqi will love you for a lifetime, but he is even more willing to respect you for a lifetime!
Han Meng said, "Qi Di, you should go home now. Come back to my place for tutoring tomorrow. I'll cook you something delicious and we can have dinner together." Da Qi nodded, kissed Han Meng goodbye, and went home.
All the way home, Daqi was in an exceptionally good mood, singing "Teacher, teacher, I love you! May God bless you!" Once home, Suqin and Pingjia helped him bathe and slept with him. It was just sleeping, though, since Daqi hadn't intended to do anything intimate with them that day, they didn't make any demands. Suqin said, "Honey, you're in a particularly good mood tonight. It's not like it's because of the beautiful teacher Han Meng and you…" Daqi immediately said, "No, no, no. Qin'er, you can't say things like that! If it gets to the school, it'll be troublesome." Pingjia said, "Grandpa, it's alright. We'll catch you in the act. Who caught you two?" Daqi laughed, "What 'cheating' stuff? It sounds awful!"
It really sounded awful. Daqi felt that his relationship with Han Meng couldn't be described as "adultery"; it should be described as "affection" or "pure." That night, as he slept with Suqin and Pingjia in his arms, he thought: This SARS outbreak really came at the right time! If it weren't for SARS, it would have been difficult for his relationship with Han Meng to develop so quickly! Who told him he was so lucky? This Han beauty was the number one female teacher at Binhai Media!
Speaking of the teachers at Binhai Media School, they are truly a collection of beauties. Not only Han Meng, but also many other beautiful teachers. For example, Chen Xiaoying is a well-known beauty. She and Han Meng are considered the "Two Beauties of Media" among the most beautiful teachers. Some say Han Meng is first and Chen Xiaoying second, while others say Chen Xiaoying is first and Han Meng second. In short, these two beautiful teachers are the focus of attention for many male students and young male teachers. However, unfortunately, Daqi has never met Chen Xiaoying, only heard of her. This is because Chen Xiaoying is a physical education teacher who teaches aerobics at the school. Daqi, being a man, didn't sign up for aerobics. According to a female classmate who also teaches aerobics, "Chen Xiaoying is a great beauty, just like Teacher Han. And she doesn't have a boyfriend yet! Why doesn't she have a boyfriend? Many male teachers are pursuing her!" Everyone is puzzled as to why Chen Xiaoying doesn't have a boyfriend. Daqi has only heard of Chen Xiaoying, never seen her! This seems like a digression, so let's leave that aside for now and talk about Daqi and Han Meng.
After Daqi and Han Meng got together, their interactions gradually became more natural. Han Meng continued to patiently teach Daqi English. Although Daqi tried his best, he knew he had no chance of passing the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4) this semester. However, he still studied very hard because he knew Han Meng had put in a lot of effort and he couldn't let her down. He memorized English words every day, and Qiwen would say when she saw him, "Honey, I get annoyed just hearing English, it's amazing how you're memorizing it so enthusiastically." Daqi hugged her and laughed, "My dear wife, I can't help it, the homeroom teacher is supervising me." Qiwen shook her head and didn't say anything.
That day, Han Meng was helping Daqi with a practice test for the College English Test Band 4. Daqi only scored 38 points on the test. Han Meng smiled and said, "Qi-di, you... I'm speechless." Daqi hugged her and said, "Sister Meng, I really tried my best. To live up to you, I memorized vocabulary day and night. I don't know why, but I just haven't made much progress. But I promise you, I will definitely try my best to pass the Band 4." Han Meng kissed him and said, "Thanks for being with me during this time. Can you tell me about your family situation?" Daqi then briefly told her about his relationship with Qiwen. He dared not tell her that he had twenty women. Han Meng said, "Wow, you and Wen are quite romantic!" Da Qi laughed, "Everyone says so, Teacher Han, you're not the first." Han Meng asked softly, "Do you like her more, or me? Tell the truth!" Da Qi said, "I love them both. Really, I can't live without either of them!" Han Meng said, "I don't know why, but I just have those feelings for you. But I know that what's between us isn't allowed by outsiders, especially not at school. So, promise me, at school, you'll act the same as usual." Da Qi asked, "What about at home?" Han Meng said softly, "Do whatever you want!" Da Qi was overjoyed and immediately said, "Okay, okay, okay. Thank you, Sister Meng, thank you, Sister Meng. Now I'm going to 'do it'." After saying that, he gently started to remove Han Meng's clothes, and Han Meng simply closed her eyes, letting him "do as he pleased."
No matter how compliant Han Meng was with Da Qi, he always treated her like a teacher, never daring to be too presumptuous, unlike how he treated his other wives. With his other wives, he always acted like an emperor. In front of Han Meng, he was always like a primary school student. Da Qi didn't know why. Da Qi lay flat on the sofa, letting the beautiful university professor, Han Meng, gently kiss him. Soon, Han Meng straddled Da Qi, gently undulating her body… Da Qi felt very warm and asked Han Meng, “Sister Meng, what if your husband finds out?” Han Meng said, “I don’t care. At worst, I’ll move somewhere else. I want a divorce. I estimate…”

"I think he'll take the initiative to divorce me," Daqi said. "Sister Meng, no matter what, I love you." Han Meng nodded and smiled, "I know you're a loyal and devoted person. That's why I'm willing to be with you. Promise me you'll treat me the same way you treat Qiwen. Don't worry, I won't move into your house or interfere with your family." Daqi was touched, but also a little disappointed.
He was moved because Han Meng had always been good to him, and now she had even given herself to him. He was also disappointed because Han Meng was unlikely to be like other wives—spending her days by his side serving him. Their teacher-student relationship was not socially acceptable. But it had already happened. Da Qi loved Han Meng; he didn't care about any of that nonsense about ethics. Although Han Meng was his teacher, she was only two years older than him. Qianru and Chunxiao were both more than ten years older than him, and Jia Ran and his mother-in-law were even older.

However, he had to consider Han Meng's feelings, because he truly loved her. Professor Han was a university professor; what would people think if they knew she had a relationship with one of her students? Da Qi thought to himself: Let my relationship with Professor Han remain a secret forever!
Daqi said to Han Meng, "Sister Meng, thank you for being so good to me!" Han Meng smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? In a few days, I can go back to school. What about you?" Daqi nodded and said, "My counselor told me I can go back to school. I've been so happy spending time with you! Sister Meng, can I come see you often in the future?" Han Meng said, "Silly boy, of course you can! Why not? Are you afraid of my husband? Haha, don't be afraid, we'll end up together sooner or later. I'm really bored with him!"
Three days later, Daqi returned to school. Xiaoling, Beibei, and Jiaxin were overjoyed because their husbands had returned. Only after returning to school did Daqi dare to reveal that he hadn't actually gone back to his hometown, but had been "quasi-quarantined." The three girls were shocked. Xiaoling said, "Master, why didn't you tell me?" Beibei said, "You're so mean, you didn't tell me anything." Jiaxin said, "Could it be that the school wouldn't let you tell me?" Daqi nodded and said, "It really was the school that wouldn't let me tell you, they were afraid people would get insane. Now that I'm back, everything's fine. Have you all left school?" The three girls said, "No, the school doesn't allow us to go out, but there are many activities we can participate in. By the way, there's a debate today, shall we four go watch it? The final is the Broadcasting Department versus the Arts Department." Daqi nodded and said, "Okay, let's go watch. Ah? It's the Broadcasting Department versus the Arts Department. What about our Literature Department?" Xiaoling said, "We made it to the semi-finals, but they lost to our Broadcasting Department." Only then did Daqi realize that his Literature Department had been defeated.
Daqi and three girls had arranged to watch the debate final that evening. The final was at 6:30 PM. After dinner, he went back to his dorm to check on things. Many classmates asked Daqi, "Hey, we heard you went home, what happened?" Daqi laughed and said, "I was under quarantine, but everything's fine, so I came back." Everyone laughed. They mentioned that over a dozen students from Binhai University of Technology, across from Binhai Media, were under quarantine. Daqi was shocked. He asked his classmates, "What happened then?" They told him it was a false alarm. Those students received "cadre treatment" during their quarantine. Daqi asked with a smile, "What's this 'cadre treatment'?" Xie Changjin replied, "One of those people who are quarantined is from my hometown. According to him, there are eight of them in one room, and they get four dishes and a soup for every meal. The school even provides them with mahjong sets to play with. In short, they're under house arrest and can't go out. But they don't have to pay for food, drinks, or entertainment." Many students said, "We really wish we could be quarantined too! We're tired of classes anyway, and we can even play mahjong. It's so great!" Daqi burst into laughter after hearing this.
Daqi thought to himself: These classmates never hold back when they joke around. If they really get quarantined, their parents will be worried to death!
Daqi discovered that Li Xianming and Xie Changjin were completely addicted to games. They didn't even have time to go to the cafeteria for meals, ordering takeout to be delivered to their dorm rooms instead. Daqi could only shake his head, thinking: "How can they get into a good university like this? If their parents knew, they'd be furious." Because some classmates said they often skipped classes to play games in their dorms.
For dinner, Daqi and Xiaoling, the three beauties, ate together. After dinner, the four of them went to the school's academic lecture hall. The final of the 2003 debate competition was being held there, with four students from the broadcasting department versus four students from the arts department. The topic was "Is the Internet truly a boon for contemporary college students?" Since Xiaoling and her two friends were student council members, they got very good seats, and Daqi, taking advantage of their connections, also sat in the front to watch.
