If Chen Xiuning had said this when she had just gotten in the car, Shen Lang wouldn’t have thought much of it.

In fact, he would’ve honestly admitted that he had a girlfriend, no big deal.

But now, Chen Xiuning’s favorability rating toward Shen Lang had already risen to 13.

With that kind of score, if she were an average girl, a confession from Shen Lang might actually have been accepted.

And now, Chen Xiuning’s tone clearly carried a hint of uncertainty and probing—

She was obviously trying to subtly find out if Shen Lang had a girlfriend.

Or maybe… hinting if he’d be interested in dating an older woman like her?

Of course, if we assume she meant the second half of that sentence, it would feel a bit too much.

“You’ll probably laugh at me, Ms. Chen, but ever since I graduated, I’ve been single.”

Shen Lang gave a shy little smile—and followed up with a killer line:

“And honestly, I think you’re really beautiful, Ms. Chen. To be totally straight with you, you’re also very charming.”

【Ding! Chen Xiuning’s favorability toward the host has increased by 3 points. Current: 16. Keep going!】

For some reason, Chen Xiuning felt like she had just been flirted with again.

Shen Lang’s acting was so good that she had no idea he was purposely throwing direct compliments to tease her. She just gave him a helpless glare.

Why is that kind of expression… weirdly cute?

Suddenly, Chen Xiuning felt irritated. She wasn’t even sure why.

Shen Lang was complimenting her, and yes, it made her happy… so why was she annoyed at the same time?

She had experience with social interactions, sure—but zero experience with romantic relationships.

This kind of emotion was easy to explain:

Shen Lang had stirred up her feelings—but wasn’t taking any responsibility for it.

It was that flirty-but-not-serious attitude that made her irrationally upset.

Worse, she couldn’t show any of this emotion on her face.

After all, Shen Lang just said she was pretty. If she was already catching feelings because of that, whose fault was it?

If she spoke up about it, she’d only embarrass herself even more.

That would give Shen Lang the impression: “Wow, I just gave you a couple of compliments, and now you’re into me? So you’re that kind of easy woman?”

In this messy emotional stew of frustration and pride, Chen Xiuning angrily started taking off her black stockings.

“Ms—Ms. Chen, what are you doing?”

Seeing her slowly pulling off the black stockings and revealing fair, smooth thighs, Shen Lang’s heart skipped a beat and he nervously swallowed.

Could it be? Once a teacher’s favorability hits 20 points… do I get a home run?

Should I lie back and let fate take its course… or suggest we move to the spacious backseat?

“What do you think?”
Chen Xiuning glared at him.

“We’re almost at school. Do you think I can teach like this? The students would think I’m a pervert!”

“Ohhh…”

Shen Lang let out a sigh of relief.

Chen Xiuning’s stockings were full of runs and holes, showing off large patches of her fair thighs.

Showing up to class like that? Forget what the girls would think—there’s no way the boys would be able to focus.

But… why did Shen Lang still feel a tinge of disappointment?

And then…

He sneaked another glance at her sexy legs.

God help me!

My old high school teacher… taking off her stockings in my passenger seat? This is just too much!

And worst of all—Shen Lang had a thing for legs.

To someone like him, this was the ultimate temptation.

As long as the road was clear and no other cars were nearby, his eyes were glued to her thighs every chance he got.

This wasn’t lost on Chen Xiuning either.

How could she, someone who’s busted more cheaters than she can count, not notice him sneaking glances?

But weirdly, instead of being upset, she felt… proud?

Her old student was blatantly checking out her legs… and not only was she not mad, she actually felt flattered?

Is it because, even at 30, I still have something to show off? Is that why I feel proud?

In this confused, proud, and conflicted state, she caught Shen Lang peeking again.

Already annoyed at his refusal to admit anything, she suddenly burst out:

“Can’t even admit it, huh? If you wanna look, just look! Why be so sneaky—”

Mid-sentence, her voice cut off completely. Her pretty face flushed bright red, like she was about to bleed from embarrassment.

Realizing the incredibly bold thing she’d just said, she quickly turned to look out the window, wishing she could disappear.

Oh my god, what is WRONG with me?!

Why did I say something so shameless to my former student?!

Chen Xiuning, have you lost your mind? Are you seriously that desperate for a man?!

And the worst part? It’s been less than 30 minutes since we met again!

Am I really that easy of a woman?!

Clack. Clack. Clack.

Inside the BMW, the atmosphere was so tense, it was suffocating. The sound of the wipers slicing through the snow was the only thing breaking the silence.

“Ahem. Uh, Ms. Chen, looking respectfully is also a form of respect.”

Shen Lang chuckled awkwardly, trying to ease the mood.

“I mean, isn’t that right? Looking politely is still respect, don’t you think?”

“Oh really? Then tell me, how exactly is that ‘respect’?”

Chen Xiuning turned her head, clearly irritated, and shot him a deadly glare.

It was exactly the same glare she used to give him in high school whenever she caught him doing something wrong in the hallway.

Shen Lang was given three internal options:

Romance Assistant

[1] “Because your legs are pretty, well-proportioned and smooth. If they were chubby and saggy, I wouldn’t even look if you shoved them in my face.”
[2] “I’m sorry, Ms. Chen. Please don’t tell my dad. I swear I won’t peek at your legs again.”
[3] “Come on, there’s a gorgeous woman taking off her stockings right next to me. If I don’t sneak a few peeks, what—am I trying to die early?”
