The class ended in a most unnatural way, and Su Muqing had never realized that teaching could be such torture.
When the bell rang for the end of class, Su Muqing said "class dismissed" somewhat raggedly before fleeing the classroom like a fugitive.
Xiao Han stood up, ready to leave.
"Dude, where are you going?" Li Hu couldn't help but ask.
"To find my big wife," Xiao Han said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Li Hu's eyes instantly widened. Big wife? Did that mean Xiao Han had a 'little wife' too? Just as Li Hu realized what he wanted to ask, Xiao Han had already left the classroom.
Su Muqing finally made it back to the office, somewhat out of breath. She drank a glass of water, managed to calm down a little, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could such coincidences happen?
The person she had a ridiculous fling with turned out to be her own student, heavens, she was too ashamed to face the world.
"Teacher Su, are you alright?" It was the same male teacher from yesterday, who approached with a look of concern.
Su Muqing felt slightly annoyed, but she still patiently replied, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Zheng. I'm fine, just a little tired from teaching class."
Seeing that Su Muqing was engaging with him, Zheng Fei was overjoyed. Mustered up the courage, he took out two movie tickets and offered them to Su Muqing: "Teacher Su, a friend just gave me two movie tickets, would you do me the honor and join me for a movie tonight?"
Zheng Fei looked hopeful. He'd harbored feelings for Su Muqing for a long time, continuously pursuing her, but to no avail, as Su Muqing hardly gave him the time of day. Today, Su Muqing unexpectedly spoke to him; seizing the moment, Zheng Fei decided to press his advantage.
Su Muqing felt a surge of disgust within her. She was just about to decline when a familiar voice rang in her ear.
"Thank you for that, I was planning to see a movie with my wife tonight anyway. I'll take these tickets off your hands on behalf of my wife, and you can go stand over there."
A large hand reached out and snatched the two movie tickets, and Xiao Han appeared pushing Zheng Fei aside; he then stood by Su Muqing's side and said with a grin: "Wife, I'm inviting you to the movies."
Su Muqing was stunned, so was Zheng Fei.
Then, Zheng Fei came to his senses, looking a bit pale as he looked at Su Muqing and said with a bitter expression, "Teacher Su, I didn't know you were taken. Why haven't you mentioned it?"
"He's talking nonsense, Teacher Zheng, please don't misunderstand, this is my student Xiao Han, he's quite the joker, please don't take it seriously," Su Muqing reacted quickly, hurriedly saying so. Shooting Xiao Han a glaring look, Su Muqing spoke with annoyance, "Don't spout nonsense."
Xiao Han looked innocently at her, he hadn't been spouting nonsense.
Zheng Fei, hearing Su Muqing's response, seemed to relax slightly in the face, calmed down, and coldly glanced at Xiao Han before speaking, "Young man, please don't joke around like that, you should show respect for your teachers, jokes like that are unacceptable."
After glancing at Zheng Fei, Xiao Han said with a twinge of annoyance, "She really is my wife, I'm not joking. And even if I were wrong, you, who've been with at least five women in two days, are in no position to lecture me."
Upon hearing Xiao Han's words, the entire office of teachers erupted. Five women in two days—that was quite a feat.
The female teachers looked at Zheng Fei with a touch of disgust and contempt, while many of the male teachers, despite their contemptuous expressions, were secretly envious.
Zheng Fei's face changed color, and he quickly retorted, "You're talking nonsense."
"Am I? Tsk tsk, do you want me to start naming names?" Xiao Han said languidly.
"Don't you dare," Zheng Fei said almost reflexively.
But as soon as he uttered the words, he knew he was done for. Hadn't he just admitted it? Zheng Fei's entire face turned ugly, like he had swallowed a dead baby.
However, what Xiao Han said next made him feel an urge to vomit blood. Xiao Han shrugged innocently and said, "Actually, I don't even know their names."
Zheng Fei glared at Xiao Han viciously. He shouted in anger, "Are you playing with me?"
"You got it right, too bad there's no reward," Xiao Han said with a smile across his face.
Zheng Fei's chest heaved violently, furious because of Xiao Han. Feeling the scornful gazes from around the office, he let out a roar, suddenly grabbed an office chair, and hurled it towards Xiao Han.
"Stop."
"Don't."
Shouts of alarm followed as the teachers were startled. They all knew their office chairs were made of solid wood; someone could be killed if hit unawares.
Su Muqing also looked tense. She reached out to pull Xiao Han, trying to get him to dodge the chair.
But Xiao Han, the person in question, didn't show the slightest bit of nervousness. Instead, he smiled and just as the chair was about to hit him, he reached out and grabbed it.
His hand was like a pair of iron tongs, firmly grasping the chair, resisting Zheng Fei's efforts to pull it back.
"Tsk, tsk, as a teacher, you shouldn't be doing such offensive things. There's no need for violence between us," Xiao Han said lazily.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Han suddenly kicked out, hitting Zheng Fei squarely in the face, sending him flying and then crashing heavily against the wall behind.
Zheng Fei's eyes rolled back, and he passed out, a shoeprint from Xiao Han's kick clearly visible on his face.
"Even if there's violence, it's only my violence against you." Xiao Han set down the chair, sat down next to Su Muqing, not sparing a glance at the unconscious Zheng Fei, and proudly said to Su Muqing, "Wife, I'm awesome, right?"
Su Muqing was furious. She quickly stood up and walked around Xiao Han, heading outside.
"Wife, wait for me." Xiao Han hurriedly followed.
The two of them walked one after the other, at a good distance apart until Su Muqing could no longer hold back. She turned around, took a deep breath, pointed at Xiao Han, and said angrily, "What exactly do you want? Don't think that just because we've slept together, I'm your wife now. You're dreaming."
"Isn't it so?" Xiao Han looked genuinely perplexed.
Su Muqing rolled her eyes, unable to tell if this guy was pretending to be dumb or really didn't understand.
"I'm going home now. Don't follow me. Did you hear that?" Su Muqing pointed at Xiao Han and said fiercely.
"Okay." This time, Xiao Han seemed very obedient.
Just as Su Muqing was feeling puzzled, Xiao Han suddenly ran off in the other direction: "Little wife, I finally found you. Wait for me."
Su Muqing looked in the direction Xiao Han had run off to and saw a very attractive girl, looking surprised at Xiao Han.
Somehow, Su Muqing felt a sour sensation in her heart. She glared at Xiao Han fiercely and gritted her teeth, "Men are no good."
