"Uh...nothing, I was just thinking that teachers these days are really stupid, haha, they're not even as good as me, a student." Li Yang casually made up a story to cover up his lewd behavior.
"Oh, I have to go back now. I heard Auntie is back, and my mom must be back too. I'm going home to help her cook." The little girl suddenly spoke to Li Yang in a very sensible manner, which made him a little uneasy. Was this the same quirky little girl who had given him a headache just moments before?
"Oh, okay. Hehe, you're welcome to come again anytime!" Li Yang stood up to see him off.
"Brother Li Yang..." The girl suddenly turned around and looked at Li Yang with a blush on her face. She was stunned for a moment. What was wrong? She suddenly felt her lips soften and warm, and then she turned around and ran out.
"This is a reward for helping my mom," the little girl said before running off.
"Damn, that was my first kiss!" Li Yang thought sadly. It had been stolen by a girl. But, to be honest, it felt pretty good.
Is this what a first kiss feels like? Though brief, it's incredibly exciting. Li Yang licked his lips, blinking wistfully as if savoring the memory.
I peeked out and saw that Mom was indeed back. She seemed to be in a good mood and was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.
Li Yang closed the door behind him and continued to bury himself in his book. He was determined to catch up on all the lessons he had missed and improve his English, since his English level wasn't very high.
Before he knew it, he was immersed in the ocean of knowledge again, until his mother called him out for dinner. At the dinner table, his mother recounted her heroic act of fighting the supermarket owner to save Aunt Qiu ten thousand yuan. Although his father didn't say anything to praise him, he didn't scold Li Yang for showing off either. Li Yang understood that this was his father's praise.
The next day, he came to Sister Cao's house again. Sister Cao had changed out of her business suit from yesterday and put on light home clothes, white yoga clothes, which fit her well and were warm, giving her a gentle and approachable feeling. Her long hair was casually tied up, and she was no longer wearing steel cone high heels, but panda head slippers, exuding a sense of home, which Li Yang was very fond of.
"Teacher Cao, you look absolutely stunning today!" Li Yang couldn't help but exclaim.
"Thank you. You have such a sweet tongue." Cao Xin glanced at Li Yang indifferently, but only smiled faintly. She heard such words countless times every day and was already tired of them. But as a teacher, she still gave Li Yang a token compliment.
Li Yang was just saying it casually, simply to greet the teacher and show some friendliness.
Today's topic is physics. Cao Xin is still explaining learning methods, pointing out key points, and providing high-level guidance to Li Yang's learning, rather than trying to master every single detail. Li Yang gave us another pleasant surprise. Not only does he learn math very quickly, but he can also understand things at a glance and apply what he's learned to other situations.
The same applies to physics; the student's intelligence put Cao Xin in a good mood, and a smile always played on her lips as she spoke. This was the profession she had dreamed of since childhood, and these past two days she had finally had her fill, and she had even taught such a bright student—how could she not be happy?
However, these were only thoughts in her mind; on the surface, she remained calm and composed, revealing little about her inner thoughts. Her experiences over the years had taught her that one should not easily reveal their inner feelings, or else they would get hurt.
However, whenever she inadvertently looked up, she would always see a slight, mischievous smile on Li Yang's lips, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But the smile was so faint, almost negligible, that she didn't take it seriously.
However, if she knew that Li Yang possessed the ability to see through people's hearts, she would definitely exclaim in surprise and kick him out, never teaching this student again.
During the break between classes, Li Yang sipped the tea that Teacher Cao had personally brewed and gazed at her beautiful face, which was quite a pleasure.
However, he had to admire Teacher Cao's composure; even under his direct gaze, she could still calmly brew tea. After finishing the pot of tea, they began the next hour of class. Not long after the class started, Li Yang was surprised to find that Cao Xin's face was abnormally pale.
"Teacher Cao, are you tired? Or are you feeling unwell?" Li Yang asked kindly, after all, she was his teacher.
"It's nothing. Let's continue with the lesson." This woman, who appeared gentle and kind on the surface, was actually very strong-willed.
Li Yang glanced at her slender figure, which looked comfortable, and then at her furrowed brows, and said softly, "Teacher Cao, how about we postpone today's class until tomorrow? Tomorrow's class will be three hours long."
Cao Xin looked at Li Yang with gratitude. This student was indeed intelligent, not only academically gifted but also so understanding. She stopped insisting, as the lingering pain was an old ailment, but it seemed particularly intense today. She endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't bear it any longer, and Li Yang noticed.
"Alright then. Thank you, Li Yang," Cao Xin said sincerely.
"It's nothing. It's just mutual understanding. Teacher Cao, please get some rest. If you don't need my help, I'll be leaving now." Li Yang got up and started packing his things.
Chapter 10: The Beautiful Teacher is in Trouble (Part 2)
"Mmm." Cao Xin was in so much pain that she could barely speak. Her fair forehead was covered in fine beads of cold sweat, and her body was curled up.
After Li Yang finished packing his things, he found her curled up like a sleeping cat, seemingly in even greater pain.
"Teacher Cao, are you sure you don't need help?" Li Yang asked uncertainly.
"..." Cao Xin shook her head with difficulty, gritting her teeth, and remained silent.
Li Yang frowned slightly, having no choice but to use his ability to see into people's minds. In just an instant, he understood the truth, but it seemed he could no longer use this ability today.
"Teacher Cao, shall I carry you to the hospital? This neighborhood is so upscale, there must be a clinic there." After learning about her condition, Li Yang had no choice but to squat down and do her a favor.
After all, he heard Cao Xin's inner longing for help, but she was too strong-willed to ask a student for help, especially since it was a girl's private matter, and he was still a boy.
This is an old ailment of hers. In the past, she would just drink some hot tea, lie down and massage her for a while, and apply a hot compress, and it would pass. But today it seemed to come on unusually fiercely. The needle-like pain was almost unbearable for her.
If there hadn't been someone else around, she would have screamed long ago.
"Come on, Teacher Cao. I'm your student." Li Yang sighed inwardly, deciding to be a good guy this once, since she was such a beauty.
He squatted down in front of Cao Xin, his broad back quietly awaiting her arrival.
Cao Xin looked at Li Yang with pained eyes for a moment, seemingly still hesitant.
"Alright then, I'll pack you a hot water bottle." Seeing that she was really too embarrassed to admit it, and knowing some ways to deal with this kind of illness, Li Yang stood up as he spoke.
Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but was also slightly embarrassed and annoyed. This student, really, how could he know anything about women's matters? However, she still accepted the suggestion and, gritting her teeth, told Li Yang about the hot water bottle and where to put the hot water.
Li Yang went into the bathroom to get the hot water bottle from where she had indicated, but inadvertently looked up and saw several small pieces of clothing hanging in the bathroom: pink and white panties, and a lace bra. They looked like they had been washed and were drying, with faint stains on them. To an ordinary person, they would be considered extremely clean, but under Li Yang's superhuman eyesight, he could still see the faint spots.
A surge of heat rushed to his chest, making him impulsively think, "Damn, isn't that Teacher Cao's underwear?"
My apologies, my apologies, saving lives is the priority.
Li Yang took a deep breath, suppressed his impulse, took out a hot water bottle, filled it with hot water, and handed it to Cao Xin, who was in excruciating pain. Cao Xin took the hot water bottle while sitting in a chair, holding it somewhat embarrassedly, and did not immediately place it on her lower abdomen.
"Teacher Cao, please rest well. I'll be leaving now." Li Yang immediately left. Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, stretched her body as much as possible, and placed the hot water bottle that Li Yang had touched on her smooth, white abdomen.
The thought that Li Yang had just touched the hot water bottle made Cao Xin, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, feel a little strange, and her lower abdomen seemed to heat up all of a sudden.
The stabbing pain seemed to be gradually easing, and the unbearable pain from before was gone.
