Li Lingling's face was flushed crimson at this moment, as Chen An got excessively presumptuous. Just as Li Lingling was about to be overcome by embarrassment and anger, she saw Chen An pick up her fountain pen and start copying down the repair list.
Realizing it was a misunderstanding, Li Lingling wiped away her sweat with relief, grateful that she had controlled herself and hadn't spoken, otherwise it would have led to another awkward situation.
Hum, since the lad had such skilled fingers, she decided not to quibble with him over it.
"All done, Teacher Li," he said. "Remember to take the repair list to the school's finance office for verification tomorrow."
As Chen An spoke, he was already by Li Lingling's side, reaching out to open the door. In the moment they stood side by side, Li Lingling felt an unusual sensation at the opening of her chest, and looking down, she saw Chen An had stuffed the repair list into her cleavage!
Li Lingling once again recognized the brazen nature of Chen An, angrily extracting the repair list and turning around, only to find no trace of Chen An.
The school had summoned the teachers for a meeting, which happened to be announced on short notice. To ensure that the senior students could study and prepare for exams in peace, everyone at school was required to stay on campus. Without special permission, leaving the grounds was not allowed.
Chen An listened to their endless teaching plans on the school's broadcast, beginning to feel sleepy since he was almost always on campus anyway. The lockdown for exam preparation didn't affect him much.
While all the teachers were back in their dormitories washing up for the night, Chen An received a phone call. To his surprise, it was from Li Lingling. Chen An answered but didn't say a word, instead waiting a long time before he heard Li Lingling's somewhat coy voice:
"Um, Chen, Chen An, are you free right now?"
It might have been Chen An's imagination, but he felt that today's Li Lingling was starting to exude more femininity, even her tone of voice was a lot softer. Fortunately, Chen An was in a decent mood tonight and didn't refuse, saying,
"What's up? What do you need?"
"Ah, it's that..." Li Lingling seemed to muster a great deal of courage over the phone before she continued hesitantly, "Um, can you come over to my dorm? Something's broken here."
"Alright, wait for me."
After Chen An finished speaking, he hung up the phone and walked towards the female dormitories. Luckily, the school provided each teacher with a separate dormitory, so it wouldn't disturb the others too much.
"It's me, Chen An. Open up quickly; I need to get back to sleep after this job is done."
Chen An knocked on the door, and after what seemed like a long time, Li Lingling cracked the door open—yet Chen An was not in the mood for dallying and pushed the door open.
The moment he entered, he was greeted by a fragrant aroma. Chen An was momentarily startled and about to say something when he was captivated by the sight before him.
Li Lingling, who opened the door was wearing only a thin towel, which appeared to be quite small, necessitating a tight wrap that squeezed and accentuated her ample bust. And it seemed Li Lingling was reluctant to pull her towel up any higher; after all, there wasn't enough fabric to cover both the top and bottom adequately.
Li Lingling was unaware of Chen An's lingering gaze upon her, yet she knew she wasn't quite dressed appropriately, so she dodged his eyes, speaking with a stutter,
"That, my water heater broke down, the water stopped while I was showering..."
Her current gentle demeanor almost made Chen An forget her usual sternness; she somehow seemed more enchanting than usual tonight.
But at the moment, Chen An's attention was fixed on Li Lingling's smooth thighs, where the fair skin still bore some soap suds, knowing even without touching how slippery it would feel.
"Hey, Chen An, um, can you quickly check if it can be fixed... after all, I'm not comfortable asking other teachers to let me use their shower," she said.
Reminded by Li Lingling, Chen An remembered why he was there. Eager not to seem like some kind of pervert, he cleared his throat and asked, "Where's your water heater? Show me."
"That's great, thank you, Chen An!"
Li Lingling got excited and almost forgot the incident with Chen An in the office earlier that day. Although she harbored resentment for Chen An's previous teasing when leaving, the fact that he came to fix her water heater suggested that he wasn't petty.
"Come with me."
Li Lingling was so excited that she didn't consider her current state. To show friendliness, she subconsciously grabbed Chen An's hand and led him toward the bathroom.
Chen An followed Li Lingling, all the while immersed in the aroma emanating from her hair.
With Li Lingling's slender, soft hand in his, Chen An began to feel a rush of excitement. Following her, he observed her slender waist and pert bottom, especially the captivating sway of her hips.
Her mature and sensual body was not just full but firm and well-shaped despite years of marriage. The towel wrapped around her peachy bottom moved rhythmically with her steps, evoking a tantalizing allure.
As a grown man, Chen An couldn't help but fantasize upon seeing this sight: if only he could grab onto that slender waist and playfully pleasure her firm backside, what bliss that would be!
Lost in thought, he could feel a warm sensation building below.
It wasn't until they entered the bathroom that Chen An abruptly snapped back to reality, remembering he was there to fix the water heater after all.
"Take a look, I don't understand what's wrong," Li Lingling pointed at the indicator light on the heater. It was obviously powered, yet there was no hot water.
"Oh, get me a stool, I'll have a look," Chen An thought it was probably a poor connection in the wiring and would likely need to be reattached.
"Okay, okay..."
Li Lingling hurriedly fetched a stool for Chen An. As he climbed onto it and turned around looking for a tool, his eye caught yet another tantalizing scene.
From this viewpoint atop the stool, he had a complete view of Li Lingling's chest. Atop her fair and upright breasts perched two puffy peaks, and below the cleavage was a flat belly with a slight bulge.
Chen An felt a flush spread over his face, his heartbeat speeding up. At this moment, Li Lingling didn't notice Chen An staring at her as she pointed toward an indicator light.
But unbeknownst to her, this reaching movement caused the towel she was wearing to slacken and loosen.
