Chapter 66: As for Dog Barking, It’s Hard to Say

Office.

When Xu Shaochen walked in, Zhao Qingyu was engrossed in her textbooks and didn’t notice his arrival.

Xu Shaochen didn’t disturb her, choosing instead to quietly admire her beauty, a beauty that could drive any man crazy.

Today, Zhao Qingyu was wearing a white strapless long dress, baring her fair shoulders to the air. Her lightly made-up face was deeply alluring.

Of course, the most attention-grabbing sight was that endlessly deep cleavage.

Zhao Qingyu sensed something was wrong and looked up, only to find Xu Shaochen’s gaze fixed on her chest.

“What are you staring at? Your eyes are about to fall out.” Zhao Qingyu blushed, feeling a mix of shame and anger, as she used her book to cover her chest, scolding him without any goodwill.

Xu Shaochen gave a cheeky smile and shifted his gaze, speaking with a meaningful tone, “Teacher Zhao, you’re even more beautiful in person than in the photos.”

“You…what nonsense are you talking about!” Zhao Qingyu was left at a loss for words, her entire person feeling shamefully embarrassed. She naturally understood what Xu Shaochen was implying.

But now, facing Xu Shaochen saying such things to her face, Zhao Qingyu felt beyond embarrassed, her face so red it could drip blood.

Zhao Qingyu’s shy demeanor only further ignited Xu Shaochen’s desire to possess her. He wished he could just hold her in his arms and tenderly care for her right then and there.

Xu Shaochen’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile. He placed his hands on the desk and leaned in, staring down at Zhao Qingyu. “Teacher Zhao, do you really not understand what I’m saying?”

Zhao Qingyu bit her lip hard, overwhelmed with shame. She didn’t dare meet Xu Shaochen’s eyes, feeling completely at a loss for what to do.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, she let out a cry of alarm. Her body jolted as if struck by a current because at some point, Xu Shaochen had taken hold of one of her hands resting on the desk.

“What are you doing? Let go of me! Someone might see us.”

Zhao Qingyu urgently protested. If a passing student or teacher saw this, she’d have no face to show.

Zhang Qingsong thought Xu Shaochen was in the office getting disciplined. He never would have imagined in his wildest dreams that Xu Shaochen was actually teasing Zhao Qingyu. Otherwise, he’d likely cough up blood on the spot.

“By the way, Teacher Zhao, did you need something from me?”

Xu Shaochen asked as he spoke, yet still didn’t loosen his grip on Zhao Qingyu’s hand.

“You… Forget it, there’s nothing. You can go now.”

She originally intended to scold Xu Shaochen, but now, she just wanted him to leave as quickly as possible. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble might ensue.

“Teacher Zhao, are you playing games with me? You called me here but have nothing to say, and now you’re just sending me away.”

Xu Shaochen wore a teasing smile, reveling in how satisfying it felt to mess with Zhao Qingyu.

“I forgot, okay? Now could you please just let go of me?”

Zhao Qingyu blushed, struggling to free her small hand, but Xu Shaochen’s grip was firm, leaving her unable to move.

“Teacher Zhao, how about this? Give me a chance to treat you to dinner.”

Xu Shaochen thought for a moment and then softly suggested.

“No way.” Zhao Qingyu ground her teeth in anger, beginning to regret her actions. She was essentially hoisted by her own petard.

“Tap tap tap…”

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached closer and closer.

Zhao Qingyu’s face instantly showed panic as she hurriedly said, “Someone’s coming! Let go of me quickly!”

“Agree to my request.” Xu Shaochen remained calm.

“You…” Zhao Qingyu was frantic, but hearing the approaching footsteps, she had no choice but to nod. “Alright, alright, I agree, but I get to choose the time.”

“No problem.”

Xu Shaochen released Zhao Qingyu.

Almost simultaneously, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked in.

“Teacher Chen, what brings you here?”

Zhao Qingyu suppressed her panic and greeted the man.

Xu Shaochen recognized this person as well, Chen Song, a teacher in the mathematics department. It was said he was also the vice principal’s nephew, and he’d been pursuing Zhao Qingyu for some time now.

“Teacher Zhao, I wonder if you’re free this evening? I’d like to invite you to dinner.” Chen Song glanced at Xu Shaochen, then turned to smile at Zhao Qingyu.

Zhao Qingyu frowned, a hint of impatience flashing in her eyes, but she still forced a gentle smile. “I’m really sorry, Teacher Chen, I have something going on tonight.”

“Teacher Zhao, can’t you push your plans back?” Chen Song asked unhappily. After all, Zhao Qingyu had refused him many times. The lack of face made him quite displeased.

Zhao Qingyu shook her head. “I’m sorry.”

“You…” Chen Song was infuriated and barely contained his rage as he looked at Xu Shaochen, saying, “Get out. I have something to discuss with your Teacher Zhao.”

“Teacher Chen, whatever you need to say, you can say it here. Once you’re done, I’ve got something to discuss with Teacher Zhao too.” Xu Shaochen replied calmly.

“Kid, do you not understand human language? I told you to get out, didn’t you hear?”

Chen Song shouted at Xu Shaochen in anger. Being turned down by Zhao Qingyu over and over had already inflamed his temper.

And now, a mere student dared embarrass him. Furious, he directed all his pent-up rage toward Xu Shaochen.

“I understand human language, but barking, that’s another story.” Xu Shaochen’s face darkened as he looked at Chen Song with a flash of disdain in his eyes.

Hearing this, Chen Song was instantly enraged. He pointed his finger at Xu Shaochen. “How dare you speak to me like that! Do you believe I won’t make sure you can’t even get your diploma!”

“Teacher Chen, isn’t it going too far to threaten a student like that?” Zhao Qingyu said coldly, looking at Chen Song.

Regardless of the ambiguous relationship she had with Xu Shaochen, just the fact that Xu Shaochen was her student was reason enough not to allow Chen Song to threaten him like that.

“You bitch! Shut your mouth! Damn, ungrateful thing. You’re just a slut anyway. It’s your luck that I’m interested in you, Zhao Qingyu, so you’d better know your place.”

Chen Song turned and cursed Zhao Qingyu viciously, grinding his teeth. Zhao Qingyu had finally run out of his patience.

Zhao Qingyu’s face alternated between shades of green and white. “Chen Song, get out of here! I’d rather stay single forever than stoop to someone like you!”

“Oh? Is that so? Let me tell you something, Zhao Qingyu; don’t speak too soon. One word from me, and you’ll find it impossible to continue at Jiangzhou University!”

Chen Song scoffed arrogantly at Zhao Qingyu. He couldn’t believe that this woman could escape from the palm of his hand.

“Oh, really? Well, do you believe that one word from me, and you won’t be able to show your face in Jiangzhou?”

Xu Shaochen looked at Chen Song, a mocking smile on his face, and spoke calmly.
