Bai Zhou reluctantly put on his shorts and left the bathroom.
"Bang!"
Xian Liner slammed the door shut.
Bai Zhou glanced at the bathroom glass, realizing it wasn't transparent but frosted, only allowing a vague silhouette to be seen...
"What a shame…"
Helpless, Bai Zhou had no choice but to get into bed.
The bed here was incredibly soft, and the quilt had a faint, pleasant scent that helped with sleep.
Bai Zhou rolled around on the soft bed for a long time.
Click...
The bathroom door finally opened.
Amidst the mist, a long, snow-white leg slowly stepped out.
Xian Liner was wrapped in a bath towel that only reached halfway up her thighs.
She was wet, her hair was pinned up, a faint white mist rose from her body, and her cheeks were flushed with a cute blush.
If one looked closely, they could even see slight red marks on Xian Liner's collarbone and neck, which Bai Zhou had accidentally caused when he was too excited earlier.
Logically, with Xian Liner's recovery ability, such minor injuries shouldn't exist.
But Xian Liner had deliberately kept them.
"Teacher, want to sleep together?" Bai Zhou excitedly stood up and quickly asked.
"You rest by yourself, I don't need to sleep."
Xian Liner gently rolled her charming eyes and directly refused.
Bai Zhou wasn't well-behaved even when taking a bath; if they slept together, who knew what excessive things this little rascal would do...
Of course, the main reason was that Xian Liner felt that every time she was close to Bai Zhou and smelled his scent, she would develop a crazy doting affection for him.
At such times, no matter what request Bai Zhou made, she wouldn't have the heart to refuse.
To avoid making a big mistake, it was better to sleep separately. She was also afraid of not being able to control herself.
As Xian Liner spoke, she sat down on the sofa on her own, crossed her legs, picked up a cup of warm tea, and took a gentle sip.
Bai Zhou stared intently at the long, snow-white legs from this angle.
Appearing faintly.
Unfortunately, the angle was just right, and he couldn't see anything, which left Bai Zhou very speechless.
Bai Zhou strongly suspected that Xian Liner was doing it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
If Bai Zhou were to get out of bed now and continue to ask for closeness, Xian Liner would most likely not refuse him.
However, Bai Zhou still held back.
After all, being able to reach this level today, he was already very satisfied. If he continued to push his luck, it would indeed be a bit impolite, and he might not even score.
Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so he couldn't be impatient for success.
Continuing to increase favorability was the most important thing.
With this thought, Bai Zhou simply lay flat and gave up, pulled up the quilt, and went to sleep on the spot.
Because he had been tossing and turning for too long today, Bai Zhou was low on 'ammo', so he quickly fell into a deep sleep, but his body was recovering quickly, and his 'ammo' was becoming increasingly sufficient.
...
"Hmm, why is this kid so well-behaved?"
Xian Liner sensed Bai Zhou's steady breathing and was also a bit confused.
In her opinion, this guy Bai Zhou had boundless energy, even if she didn't give him...
But he should still pester her shamelessly for kisses and hugs.
Why was he sleeping on the spot now?
For a moment, a subtle sense of disappointment flashed through Xian Liner's heart.
But she quickly reacted, quickly patted her cheek, and whispered to herself, "No, no, I can't keep spoiling him, otherwise one day I really won't be able to resist..."
Although Xian Liner said this, she subconsciously looked in Bai Zhou's direction.
Seeing that he was truly asleep, Xian Liner slowly stood up, stepping barefoot on the soft carpet without making a sound.
She came to the bedside, gently squatted down, instinctively tilted her head, and quietly observed Bai Zhou's sleeping profile.
His nose bridge was high, his features smooth, appearing even more Stereo under the interplay of light and shadow. His lips were slightly curved, carrying a subtle smile, as if he was dreaming of something happy.
Xian Liner watched quietly like this. An unspeakable emotion surged in her heart, a mix of cherishing this rare tranquility and beauty, and a hint of faint sadness.
Xian Liner gently reached out her hand, and just as her fingertips were about to touch his cheek, she suddenly stopped, afraid that any slight movement would disturb this rare tranquility.
"He's so handsome, I really don't know which girl will get lucky in the future..."
Xian Liner sighed softly, a strange sourness welling up in her heart.
Although they had been so close recently, she knew that she and Bai Zhou were destined to have no outcome.
After all, she was a married woman, and Bai Zhou was her student. The most they could do was reach the current level...
Moreover, Bai Zhou was still young now. Who knows when Bai Zhou would get a girlfriend and forget about her, his Teacher...
For some reason, Xian Liner felt a little flustered and even a little scared... scared of that day coming... scared of Bai Zhou leaving, scared of Bai Zhou forgetting her...
Xian Liner stared at Bai Zhou for a long time, and finally, she couldn't resist. She gently leaned down and imprinted a kiss on Bai Zhou's lips.
The next moment.
Xian Liner quickly put on her clothes, wrapped herself in a layer of green flame, leaped out of the window, and then transformed into a streak of light, quickly disappearing into the night.
...
The next morning.
Bai Zhou woke up feeling refreshed, rolled over, expecting at least a soft, warm body, but found nothing.
"What the heck..."
Bai Zhou instantly woke up, looked around, and didn't find Xian Liner.
"She left so quickly, that shouldn't be right. Even if she doesn't stay the night, she should at least have breakfast with me?"
Bai Zhou was completely confused, feeling that something was off.
However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out Xian Liner's thoughts.
"Forget it, I'll go back first."
Bai Zhou shook his head, too lazy to think further. A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, impossible to fathom.
Bai Zhou returned to Shrek Academy and contacted Tang Ya briefly through his Microcard, saying a few sweet words.
At the same time, he copied it and sent it to Wang Dong.
Next was Jiang Nannan. Bai Zhou said a few flirtatious remarks, and she stopped responding...
And Ma Xiaotao, Bai Zhou directly sent a "juicer" emoji.
Ma Xiaotao replied with a "?".
And then there was no further response.
...
Bai Zhou ate breakfast and then returned to the Soul Guidance System, entering Xian Liner's laboratory.
As expected, Xian Liner was the same as usual, already in work mode early in the morning.
"Good morning, Teacher~"
Bai Zhou greeted her as usual.
"Mm."
Xian Liner simply responded faintly and then continued working.
This instantly made Bai Zhou feel that something was wrong.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly so cold?" Bai Zhou was confused again and directly asked.
Xian Liner wasn't like this yesterday...
Bai Zhou paused, turned around, and walked towards Xian Liner, thinking he should at least get a good morning hug.
"What are you doing? I'm your Teacher, not your girlfriend. Hurry up and study!"
Xian Liner frowned and directly condensed a green spirit power barrier in front of Bai Zhou, blocking his path.
Although her tone was still flat, Bai Zhou could hear a different feeling in it.
