“Not bad, you’re quite clever.”
Li Yanqiu nodded, not stingy with her praise.
Smoothing her long hair, she continued, “The girl who almost got into trouble last time is named Chu Xiaomeng, right? She’s a high school freshman, naive and timid. She’s also been bullied by a few other girls—I heard it’s been happening since middle school. With that kind of personality, she’d be too scared to resist even if threatened. So, there’s a high probability that Wu Peng didn’t choose her at random; he targeted her long ago. Because the risk is minimal, and even if he succeeded, she likely wouldn’t dare to report it or tell anyone. He’s quite calculating.”
“What? Chu Xiaomeng was a victim of campus bullying?!”
Hearing this, Tang Ziya was shocked.
She stood up abruptly, her expression filled with anger.
She had only met Chu Xiaomeng once and thought what had happened to her was already pitiful enough.
She hadn’t expected the girl to be bullied as well.
As a fellow girl, she couldn’t stand it anymore!
She wanted to go find the bullies and vent her anger on her behalf right now!
“Alright, don’t worry about that. She won’t be bullied anymore,” Gu Chen interjected, not expecting the Homeroom Teacher to have investigated that far.
The old Chu Xiaomeng was indeed weak, but the girl had some backbone and had learned to resist.
Since Gu Chen was acting as her backer, those people probably wouldn’t mess with her again.
“How do you know?”
Tang Ziya asked.
“That’s not the point.”
Gu Chen didn’t feel like explaining.
It was better to finish the current plan first.
“Wait, Teacher Li, do you mean using Chu Xiaomeng as bait?”
To be honest, although she dared to resist now, she was completely powerless against a guy like Wu Peng.
Most importantly, since he was protecting her, he couldn’t bear to turn around and make Chu Xiaomeng do this work.
“No way, Chu Xiaomeng was terrified last time. We can’t do that,” Tang Ziya said, unable to accept it.
She raised her hand in protest.
“What do you take me for? I definitely won’t ask her to be the bait.”
The Homeroom Teacher rolled her eyes.
Her gaze turned to Gu Chen with a faint smile.
“I’ve thought about it. To catch him successfully, the bait must be able to stall Wu Peng so others can come to support. Otherwise, if something feels slightly off, that guy will definitely run. He won’t be easy to catch. Therefore, the Class Monitor isn’t suitable. She doesn’t have the ability yet.”
“I can do it!”
Tang Ziya pursed her lips, feeling insulted.
“Class Monitor, I know you want to catch that pervert as soon as possible. But… with your abilities, it’s indeed difficult. For the past two years, Gu Chen has only been letting you win because of me, understand?”
Li Yanqiu hesitated but eventually told the truth.
This was no time for showing off; the plan had to be foolproof, so she had to be blunt.
“I…”
“Fine, fine. You’ll be responsible for lying in ambush nearby. You can still take credit.”
Gu Chen saw she was about to cry and felt a headache coming on, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
But in that case, who would be the bait?
He couldn’t help asking, “Teacher Li, then who do you plan to use as bait? It won’t be you, will it?”
“Do you think I look like a student?”
Li Yanqiu shrugged.
She spread her arms with a helpless expression.
Indeed, the Homeroom Teacher’s manga-proportioned, hot figure was curvaceous even from a distance.
No student developed like that…
Wu Peng wasn’t an idiot.
No matter how thirsty he was, he wouldn’t dare move against a teacher, or things would really blow up.
“Then there’s no one. Or do you have a backup?”
Gu Chen was also stumped.
Tang Ziya wasn’t suitable, Li Yanqiu couldn’t pull it off, and he was nominally a boy.
There was no suitable candidate.
“Hee-hee, aren’t you a person? And you’re very suitable,” Li Yanqiu changed the subject.
Her gaze toward Gu Chen became even more devious, her meaning self-evident.
“What!?”
Gu Chen’s scalp tingled instantly.
He took a half-step back, completely stunned.
That dead pervert should only be interested in girls, right?
At least, he was still a boy to the outside world.
How could he be the bait?
Tang Ziya’s eyes were also blank, not understanding the meaning.
“Teacher Li, please stop joking.”
“I’m not joking. Gu Chen, you already look like a girl. As long as you cross-dress, there won’t be any problem. Besides, I know a bit about imitation makeup. I’ll try my best to make you look like Chu Xiaomeng so he won’t suspect anything. It’ll be dark outside anyway, so he won’t be able to tell, right?”
The Homeroom Teacher stated her final goal seriously.
Or rather, she had already planned this when she called him over.
*Pfft~~*
The next second, Tang Ziya burst out laughing.
It sounded absurd, but thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem bad.
She even suddenly felt that Gu Chen was indeed very suitable for playing a girl.
“Dammit!!”
“Don’t even think about it!!”
Gu Chen was already sensitized to the term “cross-dressing.”
His voice rose several octaves as he refused.
Yesterday, his Dad wanted him to cross-dress to attract business, and today, he was being asked to cross-dress as bait.
Can’t the school find any actual females?!
“Oh, Gu Chen, this is for the safety of the school. Once he’s caught, you’ll be a hero. It’s just a small sacrifice; it doesn’t matter. And we promise not to tell anyone, okay?”
Li Yanqiu probably anticipated this reaction.
She took a step forward, her voice soft and persuasive.
“Yeah, *cough*, Teacher Li is right. To make the pervert take the bait and have the strength to stall him, indeed, no one is more suitable than you.”
Tang Ziya cleared her throat, immediately chiming in.
However, the corners of her mouth were clearly twitching as she tried to stifle her laughter…
Gu Chen’s face turned green.
They were speaking so seriously, but they probably just wanted to see him cross-dressed!
He stood his ground, waving his hand and shouting, “No deal! Even if I, Gu Chen, die, get caught by a pervert, or stay single for a lifetime, I will absolutely not cross-dress!!!!”
Even if they didn’t tell anyone, he couldn’t exactly gag Wu Peng.
Once word spread through the school, he wouldn’t have the face to see anyone!
“Class Monitor, go outside and check the situation. I’ll try to persuade Gu Chen some more,” Li Yanqiu’s eyes darted around as she spoke.
“Okay.”
Tang Ziya didn’t understand why but went out anyway.
After she left, Gu Chen found a place to sit down, his attitude still firm.
“Teacher Li, don’t bother. There’s no room for negotiation on this.”
Even talking to her alone would be useless.
“Is that so?”
Li Yanqiu tilted her head and squatted down.
“What do you mean by this?”
Gu Chen looked her in the eye.
He felt at a loss when she suddenly grabbed his wrist.
‘She wouldn’t be trying some sentimental scene, would she? Reasoning with me and moving me with emotion… that’s how it goes in TV dramas.’
But the next second, he realized he was too naive.
Because Li Yanqiu directly pressed Gu Chen’s palm firmly against the towering, soft, and sexy area of her chest!
An astonishing softness instantly spread from his palm…
“Holy shit!”
Gu Chen thus accomplished what countless boys only dreamed of.
His mind instantly went blank.
The soft sensation was intense; he couldn’t handle it!
‘Is this the legendary Seduction Technique?!!!’
