10 minutes later, Gu Chen and the other two returned to the Faculty Dormitory.
Because the capture had failed, everyone was in low spirits.
They didn’t even know if they would get another chance.
Regardless, as long as that guy thought his identity hadn’t been exposed, he would at most be more cautious.
Sooner or later, his tail would be caught.
“There, there… it’s okay.”
Inside the dormitory, Li Yanqiu comforted Tang Ziya in a soft, gentle voice, cradling her in her arms like a child.
She stroked the girl’s head.
After such a massive scare, Tang Ziya needed time to calm down.
“Mm…”
Tang Ziya nodded.
Recalling what had just happened, she felt lucky the outcome was a close call rather than a tragedy.
Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how much pain her family would have endured.
“You must avoid dangerous situations from now on. Don’t be so reckless. I don’t want to see any of you get hurt, do you understand?”
Li Yanqiu sighed.
“I understand, Teacher.”
Like that, the two sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against each other.
They were so close they were practically staring into each other’s eyes, one second away from smiling and calling each other mother and daughter…
Gu Chen, on the other hand, felt a bit uncomfortable watching this.
After all, she had almost been suffocated to death by those “weapons” earlier.
‘Why don’t I get that treatment?’
Most importantly, as Tang Ziya rested her head on the Homeroom Teacher’s plump bosom, the soft flesh was actually being squeezed out of shape…
‘I’m so jealous!’
“Ahem. Teacher Li, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading out.”
Gu Chen couldn’t stand just watching anymore.
She decided to take her leave; there was no point in staying any longer.
She set down the female outfit she had changed out of, having already taken the opportunity to remove her makeup.
As for the matter with Wang Jun, she didn’t plan on saying anything yet.
She intended to investigate further before making a decision.
She hadn’t seen the kid when they returned, so he had likely taken the chance to run away.
But while the monk could run, the temple wouldn’t move.
There was no rush.
That little brat was Wang Meng’s younger brother.
If his identity was exposed, she would likely be dragged into the mess as well.
Furthermore, Wang Jun claimed he was being coerced into doing those things, though she didn’t know if that was true or not.
Given Tang Ziya’s personality, if she found out the Exhibitionist was Wang Meng’s brother, she would probably blow the whole thing out of proportion.
It was better to keep it a secret for now.
“Wait!”
Li Yanqiu suddenly called out to her.
“Class Monitor, I’m going to see Gu Chen out. You sleep here tonight. It’s perfectly safe.”
After saying that, she followed Gu Chen out of the dormitory.
The school’s power still hadn’t been restored.
After everything that had happened, a chill ran down their spines.
Once they reached the stairwell, Li Yanqiu finally had a chance to speak.
“Gu Chen, why did you say that guy was Li Fugui earlier? Was our previous analysis wrong?”
“…”
“My dear Teacher Li, please use your head. If I had exposed his identity on the spot, he might have actually tried to silence us. Tang Ziya was in his hands. If I didn’t find a way to make him lower his guard, should I have provoked him instead?”
Gu Chen was speechless.
The opponent was a burly man armed with a sharp blade.
He was dangerous by nature.
Even if they fought him barehanded, the three women might not have been able to subdue him.
Gu Chen didn’t have the skill to catch a blade with her bare hands.
Without taking 100 stabs or so, there was no way she could have seized the weapon!
“Oh, right.”
Realization dawned on Li Yanqiu, and she patted her chest.
She had indeed been negligent.
She then smiled and said, “Not bad, Student Gu Chen. Not only are you capable, but your reactions are also quite fast. You did well.”
“Mm, just be more careful next time. You should go back and stay with the Class Monitor; I can walk myself out.”
Gu Chen nodded.
It was getting late.
Staying in this dark, powerless place felt completely unsafe.
It was better to get home and rest.
“Wait, did you forget?”
Li Yanqiu called out to Gu Chen once more.
She spread her arms and tilted her head up slightly, wearing a look of solemn sacrifice.
“Forgot what?”
“Our previous agreement. As long as you cooperated with the cross-dressing, I promised I would let you do whatever you wanted with me for 1 minute. Hurry up, the Class Monitor is still waiting for me to go back.”
*Hiss—*
To be honest, if she hadn’t mentioned it, Gu Chen would have almost forgotten.
Her eyes couldn’t help but scan Li Yanqiu’s burning, sexy figure.
Truly, even a woman would find it hard to maintain her composure around her.
She hadn’t expected that a joke would actually lead to the Homeroom Teacher fulfilling her promise.
‘Doesn’t that mean I’ve struck gold?’
‘Wait! No, how am I supposed to do anything in a place like this?’
After the initial excitement, Gu Chen realized something was wrong.
This was a stairwell where other people lived.
Even if there was a power outage, they could still vaguely see.
If someone happened to walk out and see this scene, it would be spread across the entire school by tomorrow!
Wasn’t this a deliberate challenge, banking on the fact that she wouldn’t dare to mess around in public?
“Then that depends on your courage. After all, you didn’t specify the location, right?”
Li Yanqiu indeed wore a triumphant smile as she cocked her head.
“You!!”
Realizing she had been played again, Gu Chen was genuinely furious.
She gritted her teeth and said, “Do you really think I don’t dare?”
“You have 30 seconds left~”
“Damn it!!”
Gu Chen was truly out of options.
She really wasn’t thick-skinned enough for this.
If it had been a private location, she might have actually made a move.
She looked around.
Even the slightest sound made her feel like someone was about to step out of their dorm.
“I gave you a chance, but you’re useless. You can’t blame me.”
Seeing that time was almost up, Li Yanqiu arched an eyebrow.
Seeing that Gu Chen lacked the courage to act, she covered her mouth and giggled.
Then, she turned around to leave in an arrogant manner.
*Smack!!*
Seeing Li Yanqiu’s “I’ve got you pinned” expression, Gu Chen could no longer hold back.
She delivered a sharp slap to that peach-like, firm, and perky butt.
The sensation of that incredible elasticity was simply too comfortable.
She could even feel a lingering bounce…
“Ah!!”
“Gu Chen, are you looking for death?!”
Now it was Li Yanqiu’s turn to be startled.
Her eyes glared with such intensity they seemed ready to spit fire.
“The time wasn’t up yet, so it doesn’t count as a foul.”
Gu Chen shrugged, paying her back in her own coin.
She playfully stuck out her tongue and immediately bolted.
“Humph, you just wait!”
Li Yanqiu placed her hands on her hips, fuming.
She touched the spot that had just been hit.
It still stung slightly.
She grumbled under her breath, “That brat… she really hit hard.”
***
Not long after walking out of the Faculty Dormitory, a sudden flash of light surged.
The entire school finally became clearly visible.
“Finally, the power is back.”
Looking at the row of streetlights ahead, Gu Chen was actually startled.
The usually stingy school had rarely ever lit up so many lights at once.
They were likely afraid the pervert would appear again and cause more trouble.
Now that she could see the path clearly, Gu Chen’s sense of security improved significantly.
At that moment, cheers erupted from both the Faculty Dormitory and the student dorms, celebrating the return of electricity.
The campus became much noisier.
Gu Chen stretched her limbs and continued walking forward.
She had originally thought about going straight to Wang Jun to make him confess more about being the Exhibitionist, but looking at the time, it really was quite late.
She didn’t have the energy.
Besides, the kid might not even be in his dorm.
She would have to wait until Monday.
He would probably be quiet for these two days.
She honestly didn’t understand how two siblings from the same family could be so different.
The sister was quiet and gentle, while the brother was a cowardly pervert.
She really wondered if they shared the same mother.
Lost in thought, Gu Chen walked out of the school gates.
Because the area was now brightly lit, Gu Chen spotted a van parked at the school entrance from quite a distance away.
‘Parking shouldn’t be allowed at the school entrance, right? The driver is such an idiot. Are they really not afraid of getting a ticket?’
Gu Chen didn’t think much of it.
After a casual glance, she crossed the road, planning to either walk or hail a car home.
Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side of the vehicle, closing the distance before she realized it.
“Don’t move!! And don’t make a sound!”
A cold voice sounded right by her ear.
“Huh?”
Gu Chen’s body trembled.
She was completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events, and then, terror set in.
