Chapter 6

Ten minutes later, the door opened again, and Qin Lang was stunned:

Tao Ruoxiang was wearing a simple little floral dress, revealing a section of her white, jade-like calves, paired with a pair of beige high heels. Her long hair fell casually over her shoulders. Despite her casual attire, she exuded an irresistible charm. The sunset light filtered through the balcony, making Tao Ruoxiang look like a blooming flower in the twilight.

It turned out that Tao Ruoxiang, without her work uniform, was stunningly beautiful!

Qin Lang couldn't help but admire his own taste in aesthetics. It seemed that Tao Ruoxiang was not only captivating at first glance but also increasingly charming the more he looked at her.

"What are you staring at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman before?"

Tao Ruoxiang huffed, her lips curling up in a playful and sexy manner.

As soon as she said that, Tao Ruoxiang realized it wasn't quite appropriate for her as a teacher. However, this was because the烦恼 (trouble) that had been bothering her had disappeared, and she was feeling unusually cheerful.

"I've seen plenty of beautiful women, but a beauty like Aunt Tao is truly rare in this world," Qin Lang said with a smile.

"Stop being a smartass!" Tao Ruoxiang huffed again. "Don't call me Aunt Tao. I was just joking before. You should still call me Teacher Tao."

"How can I do that!" Qin Lang said seriously. "All the classmates know you are my aunt. Since the lie has become a fact, I don't think we need to clarify or change it."

"As you wish," Tao Ruoxiang said. "You've done me a big favor. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Qin Lang thought to himself, "I just want to eat you," but he didn't dare say it. Instead, he just said, "Anything is fine."

Tao Ruoxiang actually wanted to get rid of Qin Lang as soon as possible. It wasn't that she really disliked him, but as a beautiful woman who was often pursued, she felt a bit "dangerous" being with Qin Lang. Especially today, they had just met but quickly became very familiar, perhaps too familiar. So Tao Ruoxiang needed to quickly create some distance to avoid any trouble.

But Qin Lang didn't think that way. For him, today's risky move had paid off. Whether Teacher Tao's impression of him was good or bad, he had definitely left a deep first impression. Next, he planned to use the dinner opportunity to show off and build on the momentum.

Perhaps because everything had gone too smoothly today, fate decided to give Qin Lang some bad luck.

Just as Qin Lang and Tao Ruoxiang were about to go down the stairs, they saw their English teacher and homeroom teacher, Sun Bo, walking in, holding a small bouquet of flowers.

Seeing Sun Bo's appearance, Qin Lang couldn't help but curse in his heart, "Damn!"

It seemed that tonight's dinner was going to be complicated!

Sun Bo was dressed in a suit, his hair as shiny as if it had been polished with shoe polish. Standing at about 1.8 meters tall, he could spout a few trendy English phrases, which indeed had some appeal to girls. Qin Lang learned from Zhao Kan that some girls at No. 7 High School had a crush on Teacher Sun, and some had even written him love letters. However, according to Zhao Kan, these girls were all from the same era—the Jurassic era.

A new obstacle appeared, and although Sun Bo was Qin Lang's new homeroom teacher, Qin Lang had no intention of backing down.

In Qin Lang's view, Tao Ruoxiang was already his "designated" wife. It didn't matter if Sun Bo was just a homeroom teacher; even if he were a king, it wouldn't change anything!

However, Qin Lang didn't realize that in Sun Bo's eyes, he was the third wheel.

"Teacher Sun, those roses are quite nice," Qin Lang said with a smile. "I hope you didn't pick them from the small garden in the teacher's building. We just passed by there and heard an old man cursing, saying that whoever cut his roses would get boils on their head and sores on their feet, and would have no descendants and a miserable death... Teacher Sun, it wasn't you, was it?"

Sun Bo didn't take Qin Lang seriously at first, but hearing such a vicious remark, he felt it was directed at him. However, in front of Tao Ruoxiang, Sun Bo naturally showed his broad-minded side and smiled, "You must be the new student, Qin Lang. What a joke, how could I steal flowers? Giving stolen flowers to Teacher Tao would be a desecration of beauty."

"Teacher Sun, you are as beautiful as a flower! Please accept this bouquet," Sun Bo said in English.

"Teacher Sun... what did you say? My English is too poor, I can't understand," Tao Ruoxiang suddenly said, making Sun Bo very embarrassed.

Qin Lang secretly praised Tao Ruoxiang's wisdom, striking at him without showing it. You, Sun Bo, are so good at English, but Teacher Tao directly said she couldn't understand, see how you can continue with your thick face.

But Qin Lang underestimated Sun Bo's skills in pursuing women. After a moment of embarrassment, Sun Bo laughed and said, "Teacher Tao, you really know how to joke. A flower for a beauty, surely you won't refuse me this small favor."

"These flowers are indeed beautiful!" Qin Lang praised from the side. "Unfortunately, Teacher Tao's room is too small and lacks a vase. But since Teacher Sun is so sincere, you should accept them. If you have no place to put them, we have a vase in our classroom. I can help you put them there, and you can see them when you come to class."

Sun Bo secretly hated it, thinking, "Who do you think you are, kid? Do I need you to arrange where to put the flowers I give?" But in front of Tao Ruoxiang, he couldn't lash out at Qin Lang and thought, "I'll deal with you later!"

"Good idea, Qin Lang. Such a beautiful bouquet would be a waste if it were left to wither. Good things should be shared. Putting it in the classroom will add some fresh air, which is great," Tao Ruoxiang said.

Without waiting for Sun Bo to say anything, Qin Lang took the flowers from his hand and sniffed them, "These flowers really do smell good!"

"Then hurry up and put them in the classroom, so they don't wither," Sun Bo said, wanting to get rid of this troublesome kid as soon as possible.

Thinking he had successfully driven away Qin Lang, Sun Bo turned to Tao Ruoxiang and said, "Ruoxiang, I know you haven't had dinner yet. Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me? The last few times you said you were busy, I hope you won't refuse me again today."

It seemed that Sun Bo was quite shameless, even calling her "Ruoxiang."

To be honest, Tao Ruoxiang was willing to refuse Sun Bo. However, Qin Lang reacted even faster, "Teacher Sun, although you are the homeroom teacher, there is also a rule of first come, first served."

Seeing Qin Lang speak up, Tao Ruoxiang found it interesting and didn't comment, deciding to see how Qin Lang would "deal" with Sun Bo.

"What do you mean by first come, first served?" Sun Bo looked at him in surprise. "Do you want to have dinner with Teacher Tao?"

"Or do you think I'm just standing here to be a third wheel for Teacher Sun?" Qin Lang said loudly.

Tao Ruoxiang couldn't help but laugh, and Qin Lang noticed that the curve of her smile was very beautiful and alluring.
