As soon as Zhang Mengdi left, the Pavilion became even colder.
I pretended to shrink my neck, looking for an excuse to leave. "It's so cold; I'm going back to put on some clothes," I said, turning to run.
"You Classmate, why do you have an issue with me?" Lin Xiuyu surprisingly addressed me as "You Classmate" this time, presenting a clear teacher-student relationship.
I took a deep breath, stopped, and smiled. "Not at all. I'm just a bit reluctant to part with Teacher Wang. So I can't accept a new teacher so quickly. You're overthinking it, Teacher Lin. We're just teacher and student, so please keep your distance and don't appear in front of me for no reason, okay?"
"I just wanted to enjoy the cool air; I didn't expect to run into you here."
What a blatant lie.
I couldn't be bothered to argue with him and made a gesture indicating he could continue. "Alright then, enjoy the coolness. I won't disturb you anymore." With that, I turned and ran.
Ever since he appeared, strange things had been happening at school one after another. Su Anrong had already set up a barrier at school; why was that Old Ghost still able to come out? Could it be that his formation had been broken?
If that were the case, it could only be due to an earthquake.
First, I encountered the Old Ghost in the back mountain, then Lin Xiuyu came to school, followed by the earthquake, and now today the Old Ghost appeared again. If Lin Xiuyu looked like an ordinary person, I might not have any doubts. But he happened to have the exact same face as in the photo; I couldn't treat him like any regular teacher.
However, just as I was about to escape the Pavilion, Lin Xiuyu said something that made me stop in my tracks.
"Youmai Vegetable, do you think I approached you for no reason?"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in knowing."
I usually spoke to Lin Xiuyu in this tone without thinking anything was wrong. But who knew that after saying this today, his face filled with sadness, looking like he was about to cry.
Did I open up in the wrong way? A hero who wouldn't even cry out in pain from a broken bone seemed hurt by my casual remark.
Could this be what they call playing the emotional card?
Why did seeing his expression give me the illusion that I had wronged him?
I panicked and said, "Hey hey hey! Don't act like I've bullied you; I won't feel sorry for you."
He smiled bitterly. To be honest, when Lin Xiuyu smiled, it was quite charming, like a long-frozen iceberg suddenly cracking a slight smile, captivating and beautiful. Of course, it couldn't captivate me, Youmai Vegetable.
"The world changes over time. I thought you would never change, but it seems you have."
"Wait, what do you mean by that? Don't act like we're close; I've always been this way. There's nothing to change about me, and we just met. Isn't that a bit strange to say?"
"Do you really have no memory of what happened before?" Lin Xiuyu looked at me with a hint of sadness.
"What happened before? Did we have something in the past? Don't slander me, Teacher Lin; I'm not into teacher-student relationships."
"I wasn't a teacher back then."
"Just tell me how many years ago it was. I'm not an orphan; I definitely don't have any childhood friends from an orphanage. I haven't made any vows with some little boy, and there certainly weren't any drunken escapades because I don't drink. So go ahead and tell me what we had in the past; I'm not that easy to fool." I rambled on for quite a while and felt exhausted.
"Are you thirsty?"
Wow, after all that, he just responded with those four words to mock me.
I shot him a glare and deliberately asked, "Did you bring water?" He clearly came empty-handed; I didn't believe he could conjure up a bottle of water.
"I'll treat you to a drink. If you don't mind, we can find another place to talk."
"I do mind." I cut him off completely. Not wanting to continue the conversation, I started walking toward the back mountain.
I wondered how things were going over at Siyuan's place. Qiao Ziyuan might not seem reliable, but she should have some skills if she was that confident; she should be able to rescue Siyuan.
"Youmai Vegetable, are you heading to the back mountain?" Lin Xiuyu followed me.
"None of your business. Are you annoying? If you keep following me, I'll call the police!" I shouted angrily as I turned around.
To my surprise, Lin Xiuyu suddenly reached out, grabbing my hand and pulling me forcefully.
Is he trying to hug me?
I couldn't break free and ended up being embraced by him. What a mess.
But strangely, what I was pressed against felt like a person's back, not a chest.
Then I was delighted to discover that between me and Lin Xiuyu was Su Anrong, who was currently hugging Lin Xiuyu tightly while I found myself pressed against his back.
At the same time, Su Anrong's hand was gripping Lin Xiuyu's arm. "Why are you so interested in someone else's wife?" Su Anrong said casually, but there was an undercurrent of tension in his words that sent chills down my spine.
Lin Xiuyu didn't let go of my hand, and Su Anrong didn't release his grip either.
The atmosphere between them grew increasingly tense, with an escalating sense of danger.
I struggled to free myself from Lin Xiuyu's hold, and with a forceful pull from Su Anrong, Lin Xiuyu was finally compelled to let go.
Once freed, I quickly jumped away. Just then, Rice appeared behind me. "Mommy, that person is scary."
"Did you call Daddy?"
Rice nodded vigorously. "Yeah! If Daddy didn't come soon, you would have run off with someone else," Rice said with a worried expression, as if fearing I might actually leave.
"And not only did I call Daddy, but I also called Lizard and Little Lizard!"
“Lizard and Little Lizard”
“Yeah, the names you gave them weren’t suitable for their development, so I renamed them,” Rice said excitedly. “Come out, you two.”
Then I stood there in shock as two long-legged handsome guys made a grand entrance, radiating like superstars.
One wore sunglasses while the other held a rose, striding towards me with perfect poise. The one with the rose knelt on one knee and presented it to me, saying, “Queen, I am Little Lizard. Please accept my unique love for you.”
The one in sunglasses took my hand and gently kissed the back of it. “Queen, I am Lizard. At your service.”
“No, no, that’s not why I called you here,” Rice quickly pulled them apart. Little Lizard and Little Gecko exchanged glances, as if they understood something.
The two of them walked over to Lin Xiuyu.
At that moment, Lin Xiuyu was holding hands with Su Anrong, both wearing serious expressions as if facing a formidable enemy. I watched them with some concern; the sound of their fingers cracking made my scalp tingle.
Men and women really think differently; they prefer to solve problems with their fists. They wouldn’t back down until there was bloodshed or someone was knocked out.
So who would win in this arm-wrestling match?
Let’s hold our breath in anticipation.
I was curious about how they reached a consensus to settle things this way.
Rice was watching intently, chattering away, “Mommy, guess who will win?”
“I’m not interested in guessing; Aunt Siyuan hasn’t come out yet,” I thought. Who has the leisure for such things?
Sister-in-law{There are always malevolent spirits wanting to harm my sister.}
Rice sighed in disappointment. “Alright then, let’s make it quick.” With that, he shot a glance at Little Lizard and Little Gecko.
The two of them immediately stepped forward, standing on either side of Lin Xiuyu. Lizard took a deep breath and, in the blink of an eye, began to tickle Lin Xiuyu's armpit while he looked on in confusion.
Meanwhile, Little Lizard shyly rubbed her face against Lin Xiuyu's and said in a voice that made one tremble, "Teacher Lin, stop playing arm wrestling and come play with me instead."
Faced with the harassment from these two little troublemakers, Lin Xiuyu remained as steadfast as a mountain, but the muscles in his face began to twitch. "Su Anrong, you're being unreasonable."
Rice giggled and said, "My daddy isn't being unreasonable; it's us who are being unreasonable."
I couldn't bear to watch; Rice was really going to drive Lin Xiuyu crazy.
Lin Xiuyu gritted his teeth, his breathing quickening, yet he dared not relax his grip at all because he could no longer hold on; his hand was starting to slip down.
