After saying goodbye to Lin Tianlong, Liu Hanxiang hurriedly ran back home, fearing that the big boy might go too far and especially not wanting anyone to see anything at the doorstep. She entered the house, changed her shoes, and walked into the bedroom, intending to quickly change her clothes. When she saw the already dried stains on her pantyhose, she couldn't help but blush, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Reflecting on everything that had just happened, it truly felt like a dream, but at the same time, she felt lingering fear...

  What would have happened if she hadn't regained control? Does a boy of his age understand what sex is? Perhaps he does, as children nowadays mature early, but he will definitely be very clumsy. How big will he be exactly? What would it be like if something had happened between them?

  Unfortunately, everything between him and me is mismatched – age, status, position. If I hadn't gotten married and settled down, would something have happened between us? What would it feel like if something happened between us? With his towering height and strong body, would I be able to bear it if he entered my body?

  At such a young age, he's definitely reckless and wouldn't consider others' feelings. He would likely fiercely attack my insides without any regard, even if it meant my demise until he himself felt satisfied!

  At that moment, she unconsciously reached out to touch herself. When her hand touched the slippery liquid, she suddenly shivered. Oh no, why am I having these wild thoughts? No, I am a teacher, a wife, a mother. I cannot possibly do that! Never, I cannot betray my family. I pride myself on being a decent woman. Yes, I must stay firm.

  In that moment, she made a firm decision not to have any further interaction with him. She would tell him tomorrow that she could no longer tutor him, regardless of the consequences. However, as she stood up, removed her shirt and bra, and caught sight of her beautiful pair of breasts in the mirror, a surge of heat rose from the depths of her heart.

  'It seems like he really did touch me here.' she thought to herself. "Yes,I have been touched by him. Does this count as cheating? Is this not a mistake? Will my husband forgive me if he knew? Would I have the courage to face my colleagues, friends, and family if they knew I was touched by a student? Being touched by another man would surely be an insult to my husband. How could I let this happen? Why didn't I stop him at that time? Was I not ashamed at that time?"

  If I had firmly refused at that time, I would have a clear conscience now, but I didn't. Was I willing at that moment? Why didn't I forcefully stop him? How did he touch me? It seems like he reached under my top and directly into my bra, and then he pinched me with his hand. It felt as if I had been electrocuted, my whole body went numb. Why haven't I felt this way with my husband for so long? I almost forgot what this feeling was like...

  He obviously is annoying, the type of student all teachers dislike—sleeping in css, causing trouble, fighting during breaks. Even the principal knows about his behavior. But why can't I muster the courage to reject him firmly? Why don't I dislike him as much as I should? I really want to dislike him... Why am I overthinking again? I can't continue like this; I'll lose my family, my job, everything. Yes, I can't! He's nothing special, just a little brat. I hate him, I'm annoyed by him!

  Thinking of this, Liu Hanxiang stood up and walked into the bathroom. She wanted to wash away everything that happened today, as if nothing had ever happened. After taking a shower, she felt a bit exhausted and ended up falling asleep on the sofa.

  The ringing of her phone woke her up, and Liu Hanxiang nervously picked up the phone, hoping yet fearing that it might be Lin Tianlong calling. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was her mother calling. Her mother asked her, "Are you coming over for dinner today? Will you pick up your daughter?"

  Feeling a bit tired, she replied that she couldn't make it today and would go tomorrow.

  Her mother compined for a few moments, saying something about not even wanting her daughter anymore, then hung up the phone.

  Liu Hanxiang's mind was in turmoil, so she decided to turn off her phone and spent the whole night tossing and turning in bed...

  On Monday, on her way to work, Liu Hanxiang's mood was restless and uneasy. She didn't know how to face this student. Acting as if nothing had happened seemed impossible...

  The English css was the second css in the morning, and Lin Tianlong was still sitting in the back seat as before, constantly gazing at her with tender eyes. She felt extremely awkward under his gaze, so she relied on her fluent English to conceal her emotions. She kept reminding herself to dislike him, to hate him, after all, he was a very annoying student...

  Feeling both scared and nervous, Wednesday arrived quickly. At the appointed time, Lin Tianlong showed up in the office.

  "Teacher, shall we start tutoring now?" Lin Tianlong said respectfully.

  "Tianlong, let me tell you something. Recently, my parents have some matters to attend to and will be away for a while, so there won't be anyone to take care of my daughter. I won't be able to give you tutoring for now. If you need, I can introduce you to another teacher. How does that sound?" Lin Hanxiang said calmly on the surface, but her heart was nervous.

  "..." Lin Tianlong was stunned for a minute, then angrily got up and walked away.

  His attitude was expected by Lin Hanxiang. Her pn was to provoke him a little, but for some reason, seeing Lin Tianlong's reaction didn't make her happy at all. It even hurt a little. There was no way around it. He was a child, but she wasn't anymore. She couldn't act like this. Even if he wanted to drop out as he said, she had to insist.

  At ten o'clock in the evening, she received a text message from Lin Tianlong: "Didn't we agree to pretend like nothing happened? Why did you break your promise first?"

  Faced with his aggressive questioning, Lin Hanxiang really didn't know how to respond.

  "My family really does have some issues, I have no choice."

  "Whatever, you just want to avoid me on purpose!"

  "Think as you wish……" Lin Hanxiang really didn't know how to handle it and could only respond with this passive tone.

  But Lin Tianlong didn't reply to her message.

  These past few days seemed to return to the previous calmness, as if nothing had happened at all. However, Lin Tianlong no longer paid attention in css, sleeping on the desk during English lessons. As a teacher and a css advisor, it was necessary for her to remind him, but he seemed to ignore her words.

  Lin Hanxiang was really annoyed. If she didn't take action, other students might also follow his example. So, she decided to drive Lin Tianlong out of the cssroom and warned him that if he continued like this, he shouldn't attend the css. In the next css, although he didn't sleep, he was still absent-minded and listless. She knew he was doing this to show her that he was angry, but she still hardened her heart and didn't give in.

  During those days, her in-ws went to visit retives for a wedding in another city, so they were out for a few days. On the previous day, she had a fierce argument with her parents because they bmed her for not taking care of her child, and her husband had been away on a business trip for two days without contacting her. Lin Hanxiang was already feeling unhappy, and being spoiled since childhood, she had a big fight with her parents and then took the child home in a fit of anger.

  During the day, she didn't even accompany her daughter to the hospital, but took her straight to school and back home in the evening.

  Unfortunately, the temperature difference was significant those days, and her daughter, Xiaoya, caught a severe cold and fever one night. The doctor at the neighborhood hospital suggested giving her some fever-reducing medicine and advised them to go to the children's hospital the next day if it didn't work. This was adding insult to injury, but she was stubborn like that, refusing to reach out to her parents or trouble retives or friends.

  She did call her husband, but he happened to be working overtime, rushing to a county under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau in Yan City. He was just about to take a short rest in the car when her call came, asking if he could come back early because their daughter was sick.

  Bming her husband's relentless work for the sole purpose of entering the city's criminal investigation team, he scolded her over the phone: "How ignorant can you be? Don't you know why I'm here? Do you think I'm on vacation and can just go back whenever? Aren't your parents at home? You're a grown adult, and you can't even handle such a small matter..." With that, he hung up without a kind word.

  Looking back now, she bmed her husband for everything. If he hadn't been like that, perhaps none of the subsequent events would have happened. Women tend to habitually rely on men during difficult times. The next day, when he called, she didn't answer. On the third day, Lin Hanxiang calmly said that everything was fine now, and let it be. At that time, her husband thought she was still angry with him, so he didn't think much of it and continued working tirelessly day and night.

  Her daughter Xiaoya's fever hadn't subsided, so she took the morning off from school and took a taxi to the children's hospital with her daughter. When she arrived at the hospital entrance, she was shocked to see the bustling crowd. Everywhere she looked, there were parents with their children waiting in line. Her daughter had always been healthy, never needing to visit a children's hospital before. When she had minor illnesses, they would just go to a regur hospital's pediatric department for some medicine. This was her first time here, and she felt completely lost, not knowing where to start. Holding her daughter in her arms, she felt a bit overwhelmed.

  At that moment, a woman approached and asked, "Do you need to register?"

  Lin Hanxiang recognized her as a scalper and ignored her, continuing to walk. But unexpectedly, the woman persisted, saying something about not being able to register on her own and offering to help so as not to dey the child's treatment. Lin Hanxiang was at a loss and asked about the price. The scalper quoted three hundred yuan. Lin Hanxiang, who was likely reted to her profession, was quite rigid in her dealings. She already looked down on these people, and upon hearing the price, she felt it was outright extortion. She turned to leave, but the woman's demeanor suddenly changed. She was suddenly surrounded by several men who used both soft and hard tactics, implying that she had to register with them no matter what.

  Lin Hanxiang found herself surrounded by several scalpers, and she felt a rush of panic. She had never experienced anything like this before. These individuals were relentless, using both persuasion and coercion like robbers. Her daughter Xiaoya was frightened and started crying. Lin Hanxiang felt especially helpless at that moment, her desperation almost bringing her to tears.

  At that moment, Lin Tianlong suddenly appeared in front of her. "Teacher, come with me," he said, reaching out and pulling her out of the crowd. Seeing a tall young man suddenly appear, the group of people stopped pestering her.

  Lin Tianlong led her directly into the main building, where a doctor was waiting at the entrance. He called out, "Aunt Hu," and the doctor warmly responded. Then, Lin Tianlong turned to Lin Hanxiang and said, "This is our homeroom teacher, Teacher Liu!"

  "Hello, Teacher Liu!" the doctor greeted warmly.

  "Oh, hello, hello!" Lin Hanxiang responded, feeling somewhat bewildered.

  "Teacher, this is my Aunt Hu, the doctor here. Let's follow her," Lin Tianlong said, leading the way with Aunt Hu.

  Dr. Hu asked Lin Hanxiang about her child's condition as they walked, then took her directly to the pediatric department. She asked Lin to wait outside and closed the door behind her when she entered. After a while, she came out holding a slip of paper and told Lin to take it and directly enter to see the doctor. At that moment, Lin Tianlong snatched the paper and said, "I'll go."

  Lin Hanxiang didn't object, just handed him her daughter Xiaoya's medical record book, and he hurriedly walked away.

  Dr. Hu said, "Teacher Liu, I have other work to do, so I won't accompany you anymore. If there's anything, Lin Tianlong knows my phone number. I have to hurry back!"

  "Oh, thank you so much!"

  "Don't mention it. Lin especially asked me to help you!"
