I was a bit surprised. "Ma Yong? That short, fat guy from the nightclub last time? He came to you for help with his studies? Why didn't he ask his own teacher? Why you?"
Yao Wei said dismissively, "Well, we're all in the same Club, after all. He and a few others were new recruits I brought in today. We've hung out a few times since, so we're practically friends. I couldn't very well refuse to help him when he asked."
"That guy isn't exactly a good person, is he? Last time at the nightclub, he was the one egging everyone on the most, leering at you like he'd seen everything... with that lecherous look on his face..." I said a little unhappily.
"Oh, come on! I already told you, everyone drank way too much last time! That doesn't count, right? You were drunk too! You even carried me home and took advantage of me!" Yao Wei said with a playful pout.
I was rendered speechless by her words, but I couldn't seem too petty, so I just said, "Fine. In any case... in any case, it's better if you stay away from him. I don't like that guy."
"Haha!"
Yao Wei giggled and gave me a peck on the cheek, leaving a bright red lip print. "Xiao Bin, you're quite the jealous one, aren't you? What are you so worried about? A guy like that? Would I, Yao Wei, ever be interested in someone like him? Even if he wanted something, how could I possibly let anything happen with him!"
"Besides, I heard his family isn't well-off. Even though he's a local, his mother works as a maid for someone else, and he works part-time jobs to support himself while studying. I guess you could say he's quite ambitious."
I thought to myself that she certainly knew a lot about him, but perhaps I was just being a bit too narrow minded, so I didn't say anything more.
That day, when I took her to a hotel, I don't know what came over me, but we did it three times. Each time was especially rough and fierce. I relentlessly ravaged her without mercy, giving her one wave of pleasure after another until she was ecstatic, constantly praising me for my performance.
A few days later, I remembered that professor, Zhu Yun, telling me I could come to her for consultations sometime. I took out her business card, which still carried a faint rose scent. Remembering her sexy and enchanting figure from the two times I'd seen her, my heart grew hot, and I decided to go to Jingzhou University to find her.
I dressed up in a sharp outfit, a brand-name casual suit my mom had recently bought for me. I sprayed some hair wax on my head, combed it into a handsome side-part, and sprayed on some of the men's cologne Yao Wei had given me, turning myself into a slick, dapper young man. Looking in the mirror, I saw a fairly decent, handsome young man staring back.
I took a taxi to Jingzhou University, asked the guard at the gate for the location of the History Department, and headed toward that building.
It happened to be between classes, and many university students were in the hallways with their books, heading back to their dorms. Along the way, many girls saw me and had the infatuated expressions of seeing a handsome guy, stealing glances at me and whispering among themselves. My vanity soared through the roof.
I asked a female student for Professor Zhu Yun's office and walked straight there. She was already an associate professor and had her own private office on the 9th floor.
Arriving at the office door, I glanced around. This was the floor for the teaching and research group, and it was very quiet. Her office was at the very end of the corridor. I knocked on the door, and a clear female voice from inside said, "Come in."
I pushed the door open and walked in. The office was about thirty square meters, very spacious, and tidy, not a speck of dust in sight. Along the wall near the door was a large, genuine leather sofa for guests. On the wall above the sofa hung a landscape painting. In the center was a very large desk, and against the wall behind the desk stood a row of bookshelves filled with books, magazines, files, and a few exquisite handicrafts. The wall opposite the door was a floor-to-ceiling glass window, facing the academic building and the school's sports field.
As soon as I entered, I was greeted by a fragrant aroma that immediately told me this was a woman's office. On the desk were several bouquets of colorful flowers, revealing the elegant taste of the room's occupant.
Professor Zhu Yun was sitting gracefully behind the desk, a book open as she took notes. Her jet-black hair was elegantly coiled at the back of her head, revealing her fair, tender neck. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses gave her a mature and intellectual air. She wore a tight-fitting, beige suit jacket. Below the neckline, her full, firm bust stood proudly. Though I was reluctant to admit it, any man's eyes would be inevitably drawn to that pair of full breasts that looked as if they were about to burst through her clothes.
When Zhu Yun saw me walk in, she paused for a moment and said, "Zhou Bin?"
It seemed she remembered my name. My heart swelled with a secret delight. I walked to the desk, bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, Professor Zhu. Hello. I met you in the library last time, and you mentioned I could consult you about some topics related to Taoist archaeology. I'm here to bother you today."
I mimicked the suave tone of the refined gentlemen I'd seen on TV, trying my best to maintain an elegant demeanor in front of this beautiful woman. Hearing my words, she gestured with her hand. "You're welcome. Please, have a seat."
I didn't stand on ceremony and sat down, looking at her face up close. This woman had a delicate nose, pearly white teeth, almond-shaped eyes, and peach-like lips. Her features were exquisite. Below her beautifully smooth, delicate cheeks was a straight, captivating neck. The fair, almost translucent skin of her chest at the neckline blended with her collar. Her expression was cold and refined, giving her the air of an ice queen.
I cleared my throat slightly and said to Zhu Yun, "Actually, I've always been very interested in Taoist culture, and our city of Jingzhou has several famous Taoist temples, so I wanted to come and ask for your guidance, Professor Zhu."
"What you're talking about is too broad. Which specific aspect are you interested in?" Zhu Yun said, looking at me coolly.
I hesitated for a moment and said to her, "It's about that old building on campus that I saw last time. What was it used for in ancient times? I noticed the layout of its corners and angles, and it seems very much in the style passed down from Taoist traditions."
Zhu Yun's dark, deep beautiful eyes stared at me as she said, her breath like orchids, "That Tongyue Building does indeed have a history of 600 years. I heard it was originally built by a few Taoist priests a long time ago, which is why it has those architectural features. However, it has been renovated several times since and is now just barely maintaining its original appearance as a distinctive building. Why are you so interested in that building?"
"Oh... it's nothing, really. It's just that it stands out so much, surrounded by all these modern buildings," I fibbed. She had no idea that this was the very building marked on the 'treasure map' I had found at home.
"Taoist culture is profound and vast. Jingzhou does have several Taoist temples with a long history, but it has become increasingly distant from our daily lives. I usually enjoy doing research in this area and writing articles, it's a combination of personal interest and work. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"
Although Professor Zhu Yun appeared cold on the outside, she was quite generous with her words toward me. I took out some of the ancient texts and documents I usually read and asked for her guidance. I had always been quite passionate about history and ancient culture. This opportunity allowed me to get closer to her on one hand, and on the other, I was able to meet an expert and learn a great deal of information on the subject that I normally wouldn't have access to. I gained a lot from our conversation.
We chatted for quite a while, and she came to realize that I had indeed done some research on historical texts and had some real knowledge. She was no longer as cold as she had been at the beginning.
Seeing that the time was about right, and since she was still working, I didn't want to take up too much of her time on our first meeting. I was afraid that pushing too hard would be annoying, so I stood up to say goodbye. She also stood up and saw me to the door.
Only when she stood up did I get a good look at her graceful, enchanting figure. The bottom of her suit was a high quality, tight fitting beige skirt. The skirt was very short, hugging her round, perky, perfectly curvaceous buttocks. Contrasted with her thin waist, they looked like perfect peaches. The hem of the skirt revealed half of her thighs. Her full, slender, fair legs were encased in business like coffee-colored stockings. The stockings were slightly sheer, revealing the flawless, tender skin of her legs beneath. On her beautiful feet were a pair of matching high heels. Her entire look was the epitome of an intellectual, mature woman.
Looking at her charming, alluring figure and her mature, elegant, yet slightly cold appearance, I suddenly felt my mouth go dry. My hormones kicked in, and a bold idea suddenly popped into my head. I stopped at the door and said to her, "Professor Zhu, actually, there's another big question I have, something I'd like to ask for your guidance on."
Seeing me say this, she looked intrigued. "Oh? What is it?"
I glanced again at her full bust, which seemed ready to burst through her tight suit jacket. I leaned in close to her and said in a low, mysterious voice, "Actually, there's a basement in my house, and inside is a strange object that seems to be a relic from an ancient text. I'd like to ask you to take a look at it. When would be a good time for you to come to my house and see what kind of antique it is?"
Zhu Yun was clearly taken aback. "An antique in your basement?"
Seeing her interested expression, I quickly added, "Yes, yes, yes. It's very strange. I don't know what it's for, and I'm very puzzled. That's why I went to the Tongyue Building to look up information. You'll understand when you see it."
She smiled at me and said softly, "Alright, no problem. How about on my day off? We can make arrangements then."
I had thought she would hesitate a bit, but to my surprise, she agreed so readily. I quickly exchanged WeChat contacts with her, said my goodbyes, and headed home.
On the way home, although I still felt uneasy about revealing the Zhou family's secret to an outsider, I thought that, for one, she was just a history professor with no connection to our family, and two, she was an expert in the field. Perhaps she could help me solve the mystery my father had left behind.
More importantly, I could get her to come to my house to be alone with me. Hehe, I thought smugly to myself. I could find a time when no one was home, create some ambiguous atmosphere, maybe even get her to stay for a meal. Wouldn't that greatly improve our relationship? If the mood was right, I might even get a chance to have a taste of her, to experience what this ice queen was like!
Thinking about the sexy, enchanting figure and gorgeous face of that beautiful, cold professor, I was already fantasizing about her naked, moaning and panting beneath me.
However, I didn't forget that my ultimate goal was my beautiful and stunning mother. At home, we still maintained the life relationship between mother and son as usual, but my mother always kept a distance from me at home, and she rarely walked around in her underwear like she did at the hotel last time.
I also saw that Jiang Weixin had sent her home several times. Although I was quite jealous of him, he was indeed very refined, and he was always a perfect gentleman to my mother, never overstepping any boundaries. I sometimes tried to probe my mother for her thoughts on him, but she would always cleverly deflect with various excuses. The more ambiguous her attitude, the more my spirits sank. It felt like a stone was perpetually stuck in my chest.
That evening, I was once again eating dinner alone. After fixing myself a simple meal, I was washing dishes in the kitchen when I heard the front door open. My mother returned, looking weary from her day. She was still on the phone with one hand while slipping off her high heels with the other and changing into slippers, moving into the living room with an elegant grace.
Today, my mother was wearing a gray, androgynous business suit. Under the jacket was a white blouse. Although the collar was high, revealing no cleavage, the full curve of her ample chest was still clearly visible. On her lower half, she wore a knee-length skirt, her shapely, full legs encased in professional looking black stockings.
