Bonus Chapter: Teacher Lu

Inside a dormitory, a young man suddenly sat up from his bed, clutching his head.

‘Miss Ruoshuang? Miss Mengyu? What… what was all that?’

Qin Mu recalled the scenes in his mind.

He felt as if he had just had a very long dream, as if he had lived for more than ten years within it.

‘Maybe I’ve been single for so long that I’m just having random dreams.’

Qin Mu shook his head and prepared to get out of bed for a glass of water.

However, he suddenly heard an unusual sound.

Rustle —

It was the sound of paper rubbing against fingertips.

Someone was reading in the dorm!

With a start, Qin Mu stood up.

As the saying goes, a roommate’s keyboard sounds help one fall asleep, but a roommate flipping pages keeps one awake all night.

Qin Mu climbed down from his bed and saw someone flipping through a book.

“Nice one, Liu Shubao! You’re actually secretly grinding!”

Qin Mu said indignantly.

They had agreed to play games and slack off together, yet this guy was secretly stabbing him in the back!

Seeing Qin Mu get up, Liu Shubao said, “Holy cow! Old Mu, you can really sleep! You took a nap and slept straight through until nearly 5:00 PM! The English midterm exam is in a few days!”

What!

Qin Mu checked his phone, looked at his messages, and then opened the class group. It was true!

“I’m doomed! Little Bao, why didn’t you wake me up!”

“Heaven and earth can be my witness, I slapped you twice, but you still wouldn’t wake up. If you hadn’t been snoring, I would have thought you were dead!”

Liu Shubao had to admit that Old Mu was a heavy sleeper.

He truly envied that kind of sleep quality.

“Really?”

Qin Mu looked in the mirror, and sure enough, his cheeks were a bit red.

‘That’s strange. Have I always slept this soundly?’

Qin Mu didn’t remember his sleep quality ever being this good.

Forget it, he wouldn’t think about it anymore.

He was hungry, so he might as well go down and eat.

After getting dressed, Qin Mu headed to the cafeteria.

After finishing his meal, Qin Mu suddenly saw a crowd of people heading toward the sports field, shouting something about a confession.

What!

This was some major gossip!

Qin Mu immediately followed the flow of the crowd to see the commotion.

The area was packed with people.

Qin Mu wasn’t very tall, so he couldn’t see much even when standing on his tiptoes.

He could only hear people in the crowd saying things like, “It’s actually Senior Ruoshuang.”

Senior Ruoshuang?

Qin Ruoshuang?

Qin Mu had heard of her.

Her photos were used to grace the backgrounds of almost every major school group chat, all of which were candid shots taken by students who saw her on the road.

Although she shared the same surname as Qin Mu, the two were worlds apart.

Qin Mu was a total nobody at school, while Qin Ruoshuang was like a superstar!

She was cold and elegant, with unparalleled beauty and an incredible figure.

She even had a younger sister who was equally stunning.

Qin Mu had heard of the two girls but had never seen them in person.

After all, his daily routine consisted of nothing but attending class, playing games, or going on trips with his roommates.

Then, before Qin Mu could see anything, he heard a roar of excitement from the crowd.

“Whoa! She ignored him completely. She really didn’t give that guy any face!”

The crowd quickly dispersed.

Hey, hey!

I didn’t even get to see anything!

Qin Mu felt like he had come for nothing.

If he had known, he would have stayed in the dorm; maybe he could have actually finished a few more pages of his book.

Qin Mu followed the crowd as it scattered.

Thud —

Qin Mu pushed open the dormitory door and sat down carelessly in his chair.

He placed his phone on the desk, poured a glass of water, and gulped it down.

Looking at Liu Shubao, he said, “Hey! Do you know what I saw on my way back?”

Without even looking up, Liu Shubao asked, “What did you see? A sow climbing a tree?”

“How is that possible? Ignoring the logic of a sow climbing a tree, there isn’t even a single pig in this school. Where would it come from?”

Qin Mu said irritably.

“Then what was it?”

“Hehe, someone confessed to Qin Ruoshuang!”

“What! That Qin Ruoshuang?”

“Of course!”

“Well? Old Mu, did you see her? Does she really look like she does in the photos?”

“Uh…”

Qin Mu’s gaze shifted slightly.

“About that…”

Seeing his expression, Liu Shubao let out a “tch.”

It went without saying that he hadn’t seen her, otherwise, he would have definitely come running back to brag.

“How boring. I’m going back to my book.”

“Don’t do that! Let’s play some games.”

Watching Liu Shubao study felt like a needle to Qin Mu’s heart.

“Brother, stop reading. Look at me, I’m not reading at all!”

Liu Shubao adjusted his glasses and said, “That’s you. I really don’t know what kind of dumb luck you have. The English teacher is so good to you. Last semester, you slept through every single class and didn’t even prepare for the exams, yet you didn’t fail English?”

Liu Shubao was incredibly envious.

It wasn’t just about not failing; the English teacher, Lu Qian, was so beautiful that she redefined Liu Shubao’s concept of “stunning.”

She was gorgeous.

Every boy stayed wide awake during her classes, full of energy even though the classes started at 8:00 AM.

“Spill it! Be honest! Do you have some kind of relationship with the English teacher?”

A sharp light flashed behind Liu Shubao’s lenses.

“How… how could that be…”

Now, Qin Mu’s gaze was truly shifting.

Liu Shubao caught it immediately.

He pushed up his glasses like a certain Conan and pointed his finger at Qin Mu, analyzing the situation.

“Something is wrong! Nine parts out of ten, something is very wrong! You don’t stay at the dorm on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday nights. The English teacher’s classes are on Fridays and Mondays, and every Monday in class, you’re always dead to the world…”

Under Liu Shubao’s intense gaze, Qin Mu felt a mountain of pressure.

“You’re just overthinking. How could I possibly be related to Teacher Lu…”

“True. You don’t look like someone who could be related to her.”

Liu Shubao turned back around.

At that moment, the screen of the phone Qin Mu had left on the desk lit up.

There was a notification from Aunt Lu.

The content read: “Mu’er~ what would you like to eat tomorrow night? Aunt Lu will go buy the ingredients~”

“Hmm? Whose phone is vibrating?”

Hearing the sound, Liu Shubao was about to turn around.

Not good!

Qin Mu immediately grabbed his phone and turned off the screen.

“Haha, it’s mine. Someone sent me a message.”

“Oh, okay.”

Seeing Liu Shubao go back to his books, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of length.

He opened his phone and typed:

‘Hmm… how about braised pork ribs?’

After sending it, Qin Mu began to pack his things. He had to go to Aunt Lu’s place tomorrow.

That night, the group stayed up playing games as usual.

The next day, because the battle the night before had gone poorly, they had stayed up late fighting until the end, resulting in a crushing defeat.

Everyone had to buy their own breakfast separately.

What?

You have time to eat breakfast before an 8:00 AM class?

That’s not scientific!

If it were any other teacher’s class, that might be true, but this was different.

This was Teacher Lu’s English class!

Early in the morning, Qin Mu and the others arrived at the classroom, claimed their seats, and started scrolling through their phones.

While the others were on their phones, Qin Mu chose to catch up on some sleep.

Man, he was exhausted.

Before they knew it, all the students had arrived, and the bell rang shortly after.

As the sound of high heels approached, every boy straightened up and focused.

A mature and beautiful figure dressed in an OL outfit and black stockings entered the classroom.

Her slightly wavy brown hair added a touch of elegance to her charm.

This… was Lu Qian, Teacher Lu!
