Chapter 26: Overnight at Lin Teacher's Home

  The taxi screeched to a halt in front of the Jin Hua residential area, it was already around 8 or 9 pm. In a county-level city like Jian An, by this time, apart from the bustling night market streets, other areas were basically deserted with only a few scattered pedestrians returning home late at night.

  "Thirteen dollars, thank you."

  They arrived at the destination, and Su Lin instinctively reached into his pocket to pay for the taxi fare. However, Lin Qingxue quickly pulled out her wallet, took out a 20-yuan bill, and handed it to the driver. After the driver gave them change, they got off the car.

  "Lin... Teacher Lin, which building and floor do you live in? It's so late and it's not safe. Let me send you back home first!"

  Spring had just passed, and the cool breeze at night still brought a hint of chill. After getting off the car, Lin Qingxue was blown by the facing wind and also woke up a lot. At the same time, the effect of the dispersing medicine may not have been so intense, relying on rational control, Lin Qingxue barely made her body not feel so uncomfortable.

  "Building C, Room 302. It's so late, Su Lin... You're going home alone, and the teacher is worried too. I'll call your parents in a bit and tell them you're staying over at my place because you had to stay late for extra lessons."

  Lin Qingxue hesitated for a moment, feeling that it was so late, and letting Su Lin travel alone halfway across Jian'an City to go home was also worrisome, so she simply let Su Lin stay overnight.

  "This..."

  She glanced at Lin Qingxue's black stockings, wrapping around her slender legs, and the slightly disheveled coat outlined a woman who had just reached maturity. Su Lin swallowed hard, unable to utter words of refusal.

  Tap tap tap tap......

  Following behind Lin Qingxue, listening to the sound of her high heels on the stairs, Su Lin's heart was secretly delighted: "Staying overnight at Teacher Lin's house, oh my god! If Haizi knew about it, he would be so jealous of me."

  "Come on in!"

  Building C 302 arrived, Su Lin followed behind Lin Qingxue and entered the home of her high school class teacher who she had never visited before.

  "Come on in and sit down wherever you like. The teacher lives alone, doesn't clean up much, it's a mess. Su Lin, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Why don't I make you a bowl of instant noodles?"

  "Teacher Lin, don't bother..."

  Su Lin sat on the sofa with a bit of awkwardness, just wanting to say no but his stomach wasn't cooperating and let out two growls. Indeed, Su Lin hadn't eaten anything since lunch until now. After finishing the exam and coming out of the English department office, Su Lin had rushed straight to the Jiaxing Hotel to save Lin Qingxue, where did he have time to eat?!

  "Alright, don't be modest anymore, let you taste the teacher's craftsmanship."

  When Su Lin's stomach growled, Lin Qingxue smiled and took off her small suit jacket, casually putting on a pink casual jacket, and went to the kitchen to turn on the electric stove and boil some water.

  "Food and sex, these are human nature!"

  For some reason, Su Lin, who was sitting on the couch in boredom, suddenly came up with this famous saying of a wise man. Looking around, Lin Qingxue's rental house wasn't very big either, with only one bedroom, plus a small living room, half a kitchen and a small bathroom, estimated to be rented for around 800-900 yuan per month in Jian'an City.

  Lin Qingxue is not a native of Jian'an City, and has only recently come to Jian'an No. 1 Middle School, nor has she been allocated teacher's guaranteed housing, so she can only rent this small bedroom outside.

  "It seems that Teacher Lin's life is not easy either!"

  After taking a look at the trash can in the living room, it was filled with instant noodle packaging and some frozen food boxes. It seems that Lin Qingxue is usually busy with work and can only eat instant noodles or something similar at home, not even having a decent meal.

  "Alright! Su Lin, come... try the teacher's craftsmanship. You know, the teacher is not just good at teaching and grading homework! This Kang Shifu instant noodles is the teacher's specialty dish, and the teacher even added two eggs for you, it tastes extremely delicious, take a good taste."

  Holding a bowl of steaming hot instant noodles, with two fragrant eggs floating on top, Su Lin didn't know why her eyes stung as she looked at the eggs in the bowl and asked Lin Qingxue: "Teacher, do you usually eat instant noodles?"

  "It's almost time for the college entrance exam, and there will be a small test almost every week, and a big mock exam once a month. The papers of over 800 students in the whole grade are graded by us several English teachers together, so it's been busy. Anyway, I'm alone at home and don't want to bother with much, instant noodles are convenient, just solved like this."

  When Lin Qingxue said this, she was obviously pretending to be nonchalant. Su Lin was eating instant noodles with a pair of chopsticks, and in her heart, she couldn't help but sigh that being a teacher wasn't easy either. Who says teachers have weekends and two long vacations a year and it's very relaxing?

  "Little gluttonous pig, even instant noodles can be eaten so deliciously."

  Lin Qingxue said, stretching out her hand to touch Su Lin's head, and smiled slightly: "Su Lin, thank you so much for saving me today, or else I would have... Ah! It's already so late, all I can do is apologize for only having instant noodles, but another day I'll treat you to a big meal as a reward, okay?"

  "The noodles cooked by the teacher taste the best."

  "Haha! Seeing you eating so deliciously, I'm getting hungry too, teacher."

  "Hey teacher, have some too!"

  As she spoke, Su Lin picked up a piece of egg white with her chopsticks and held it in front of Lin Qingxue. As she did this, Su Lin herself was taken aback for a moment, but to her surprise, Lin Qingxue didn't refuse. With a quick motion, she bit down on the chopstick, her tongue curling slightly as she ate, and laughed as she said, "My culinary skills really aren't bad, are they?"

  "Teacher Lin, you..."

  Always, Lin Qingxue had a relatively strict impression on Su Lin. In school, Lin Qingxue always had to maintain an air of maturity as the class teacher. But today, in Su Lin's eyes, Lin Qingxue seemed like a lovely young girl. Moreover, Lin Qingxue appeared to be completely unguarded around him; could it be because he saved her that Lin Laoshi's attitude towards him was undergoing a fundamental change?

  Having seen this change, Su Lin's gaze towards Lin Qingxue was also different, thoroughly putting away the half fearful and half mischievous attitude of before.

  "Wow... I'm so full, thank you teacher, this is the best instant noodles I've ever had."

  Like this, you one mouth I one mouth, Su Lin and Lin Qingxue two people finished a big bowl of instant noodles clean, Lin Qingxue smiled and said: "Su Lin, this is also the best time for Teacher to eat instant noodles."

  "Heh heh, of course it's delicious! Teacher, you don't even know about this way of eating, how much of my saliva have I swallowed?" Su Lin thought to herself with a wicked delight.

  After finishing, Lin Qingxue put everything away and looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock. She said to Su Lin: "Su Lin, it's already eleven o'clock, do you want to wash up and go to bed early? If you sleep early, you'll have energy for class tomorrow."

  "By the way, there are spare toothbrushes and towels in the small drawer in the bathroom, they're all new. You can go wash up and sleep, you take the bedroom, I'll sleep on the sofa in the living room."

  "Teacher, how can this be? It should be me sleeping on the sofa and you going to your bedroom. I'm a man, how can I let you sleep on the sofa?"

  Su Lin puffed out his chest, but didn't expect Lin Qingxue to stretch out her jade-like hand and pat him on the back, saying: "Alright, go wash up, little man! Fine, you love sleeping on the sofa, so sleep on the sofa then! Hurry up and wash, teacher still needs to take a bath!"

  She stretched her waist and felt sticky all over, especially in some places, hot and itchy, uncomfortable. Now she just wanted to take a good bath first.

  "Then teacher, you go wash first, I'll watch TV for a while, it's okay to wash later..."

  With the remote control in hand, Su Lin felt a little guilty and turned on the TV, casually selecting a channel to watch.

  "Alright, I'll go first, teacher. If you're really tired, just sleep for now! Don't worry about washing up."

  Back in the bedroom, Lin Qingxue picked up some clean clothes and slipped into the bathroom. Before long, the sound of rushing water came from within, and Su Lin's keen sense of hearing seemed to pick up on the slippery sounds of scrubbing.

  "This is also too..."

  He slowly shifted his gaze from the TV to the bathroom, where the frosted glass door barely allowed him to make out Lin Qingxue's silhouette as she massaged herself. The misty steam wafting out seemed to carry the scent of shampoo, and Su Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if he could smell it too.

  "Teacher Lin's figure is also too good! The bulges and curves are all in the right places..."

  Facing the frosted glass door, Su Lin couldn't help but let her mind wander, and a certain part of her body also reacted obviously. A man and woman alone in a room, and the other party was such a beautiful and mature woman, even more unexpectedly, Lin Qingxue was his high school English teacher and class advisor?

  Which boy wouldn't have fantasies about his beautiful high school English teacher?

  Half an hour passed, and as the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, Lin Qingxue slowly wiped her body with a towel, while Su Lin watched from the sofa in the living room. Although it was only through the frosted glass door that she could see a vague outline, for Su Lin, this was undoubtedly a huge stimulus. A certain part of his body had already stood up high, and if he hadn't been controlled by reason, Su Lin would have found it hard to guarantee that he wouldn't rush into the bathroom.

  Whoosh!

  The bathroom door was opened, and Lin Qingxue walked out with her hair dripping wet, wearing slippers. The beauty after bathing, with a hint of fragrance that made Su Lin even more unbearable.

  "Sorry, Su Lin, teacher has been washing for so long, hurry up and go! If you want to take a bath, use whatever is inside."

  Wrapped in a large bathrobe, Lin Qingxue walked up to Su Lin and sat down on the sofa, plugged in the hair dryer, and started blowing her hair with a humming sound in the living room.

  "Teacher Lin, you're so beautiful!"

  Smelling the faint scent of shampoo, and also the body scent that was close at hand, Su Lin could even feel the heat emanating from Lin Qingxue's body. Especially when Lin Qingxue was blowing her hair while stroking her bathrobe, that tight white bathrobe which was only tied with a belt, made it seem like if one were to lightly tug on it, it would completely fall off.
