"Are you done yet? Hurry up, can you or can't you?"
The speaker was Li Lingling, a high school English teacher, who by this moment was drenched in sweat, her face flushed red from the heat.
Beneath her large desk, the young man Chen An hadn't said a word, hunched over, still vigorously trying to repair the wiring.
It wasn't just Li Lingling who felt the heat; Chen An, who was working, couldn't stand it either. The space under the computer desk was almost completely enclosed, aside from a gap left for someone to stretch their legs, the other three sides were tightly covered.
"Damn it, the crappy school's air conditioning breaks every other day. I'm slaving away fixing the wiring here, if you can do it, then come and fix it yourself, what's with all this whining!"
Of course, Chen An only dared to say this in his heart; he wouldn't dare utter a word out loud. He had graduated from this school a few years ago and, not knowing what job to take after university, simply returned to his high school alma mater to work as a maintenance worker.
Just as he was about to finish up, Chen An suddenly caught a strong whiff of sweat from behind, which startled him.
Li Lingling's legs, clad in stockings, were on the floor, her eight-centimeter high heels carelessly tossed aside. Her restless toes gripped the floor, occasionally shaking them slightly in an attempt to cool off.
What was more outrageous was that she wore a short leather skirt that hugged her buttocks. The way she sat with her legs apart exposed an area between her legs right in front of Chen An.
Chen An's eyes widened, wanting to remind her, but he held back.
His family's condition was not good, and he had always been looked down upon at school.
This Li Lingling was also one to look down on people like a snob, making him stand as punishment every day, at the slightest provocation, and had him write reflections, pledges, even read them aloud in front of the whole class; copying English words was nothing unusual.
Even when he came back to work at his alma mater, she never showed him a kind face, it was either mockery or disdain.
Today... maybe it was time he got some compensation.
Seeing those stocking-wrapped toes, Chen An couldn't help but recall certain stocking-related series from Island Country films.
"Hiss... no wonder those male actors look so rapturous. Today I really caught a whiff of this scent; it's even more pungent than horse urine. A woman should know to be a bit more modest!"
Chen An just muttered under his breath, but Li Lingling heard every clear word, which immediately infuriated her. She furiously snapped, "Chen An, what do you mean? What's this about being pungent? Why don't you tell that to your mom!"
Li Lingling's remark instantly ignited the rage within Chen An, and both old grievances and new erupted at once:
"You dare bring up my mom? Back then, you were the one constantly making me call her to school, telling her to her face that I was trash, so today I'm going to teach you a good lesson!"
As Chen An spoke, he suddenly stood up amidst Li Lingling's cries of alarm, grabbed her ankle, and lifted it, causing the once-upright Li Lingling to tumble back onto the chair's rest.
It was then that Chen An suddenly realized that Li Lingling's skirt concealed no underwear; she was teaching vacuum-style!
"Damn, now I know why the sweat smells so foul, it's because you, madam, are inherently pungent, thoroughly marinated through and through!"
Li Lingling, utterly embarrassed by Chen An's words, struggled furiously with her legs, trying to wrench her ankle from Chen An's grasp.
But Chen An was too strong, and her struggle only resulted in tearing her stockings, leaving her long, slender skin exposed from the soles up to the crotch.
Li Lingling let out a loud scream, which, in turn, piqued Chen An's interest even more.
"No, no, please calm down, Chen An, why don't you leave, and I'll find someone else to fix this..."
"Apologize now? Too late!" Said Chen An, and looking down at the chair, he noticed some unidentified damp patches and laughed: "Heh, Teacher Li, how come your seat is so wet in broad daylight!"
