After finishing the barbecue skewers.
Chen Luo looked at Meng Yue, who had drunk herself limp in her chair. Her white shirt was stretched taut on top, and she wore a black waist-cinching, hip-hugging skirt on the bottom.
It tightly wrapped around Meng Yue’s slender waist.
At the same time, it exposed Meng Yue’s pair of plump, jade-like legs.
Full hips, slender waist.
It had to be said.
For a woman to walk alone at night dressed like this was extremely dangerous, especially while drunk. Although Meng Yue was no longer a girl.
To be precise, the term “young married woman” suited her better.
But Meng Yue’s mature and alluring face was even more devastating than many young girls’. And with her generous bosom, she made a host of men want to throw themselves into her arms.
If she ran into someone with ill intentions…
“Teacher Meng, time to go home.”
Chen Luo called out.
He grabbed Meng Yue’s arm with one hand and struggled to pull her up from the chair. Then Meng Yue leaned her entire body against him, lunging straight at him face-first.
In an instant.
Chen Luo felt a pressure unlike anything before.
Fortunately, Chen Luo hadn’t let his fitness slide over the past few years. His sturdy limbs were thick and powerful, and he quickly steadied Meng Yue in his arms.
The latter was soft all over.
Plump and silky smooth.
Especially as Chen Luo wrapped one arm around Meng Yue’s slender waist, he actually found a hint of that old feeling again, and a wave of nostalgia rose in his heart.
Although Meng Yue wasn’t the most beautiful among his ex-girlfriends.
But without a doubt.
Meng Yue had the biggest chest among his four ex-girlfriends, and Teacher Meng was also his enlightening mentor, the good guide who had helped Chen Luo grow from a boy into a man.
In particular.
Meng Yue was the type of woman who was cold on the outside and passionate on the inside.
Back then.
Teacher Meng had graduated with her master’s degree and applied for a job at Jiangcheng University, becoming the counselor of their College of Fine Arts. With her impressive build and cool, commanding face.
She instantly became the number one beauty counselor at Jiangcheng University, and Chen Luo’s class was lucky enough to be assigned to her.
From then on.
Countless single male teachers tried to win Meng Yue over. They would often see little gifts from other male teachers on Meng Yue’s desk.
There were even bold male students who pursued Meng Yue too.
By sophomore year.
Teacher Meng also taught a course for their class. They heard from senior students in previous cohorts that the course was an easy blow-off class, and about thirty percent of students would skip it.
But that semester.
Not a single male student skipped that blow-off class. There were even students from other colleges who voluntarily came to their classroom to attend Teacher Meng’s lectures.
Sometimes it got so absurd that even students from Chen Luo’s own class couldn’t find seats when they went to class.
However…
Despite such a furious and overwhelming barrage of suitors… among them young and talented teachers, wealthy second-generation rich kids, and strapping, dark-skinned student athletes…
All types.
Everything you could think of.
Not a single one had ever gotten a second glance from Meng Yue!
In other words.
There were so many pursuing her that they could line up from her desk to the front gate of Jiangcheng University, but she rejected every last one of them without mercy.
And she rejected them in an extremely cold manner.
So later on.
Meng Yue earned a new nickname: Jiangcheng University’s number one iceberg counselor.
At the time.
Chen Luo thought this nickname was very fitting. The word “iceberg” could both summarize her personality and perfectly highlight Teacher Meng’s build.
Simply put: nothing but sheer impact!
It was just…
No matter how much they lusted, they could only look. Countless guys speculated behind her back that Meng Yue had once had a first love who had broken her heart during her college years as a counselor.
So now she had absolutely no interest in men.
Once this rumor spread.
Meng Yue never denied it.
Then it spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, from a hundred to a thousand, until the whole university knew. Gradually, no more guys pursued her.
Until later.
Chen Luo found out that this was total bullshit… Teacher Meng was still a proper virgin.
Afterward.
Chen Luo curiously asked Meng Yue why she didn’t just explain.
Teacher Meng said.
People only believe what falls within their understanding. A beautiful girl who doesn’t have a boyfriend and has a cold personality.
It was as if she were born guilty.
It provoked jealousy in the men who couldn’t have her, so naturally they wanted to spread rumors to ruin her reputation.
To sum it up.
Beauty is a calamity.
…
Walking back from the barbecue restaurant near the plaza to the small courtyard was about three to four hundred meters, but those few hundred meters were a real struggle for Chen Luo.
Because of Meng Yue.
After getting drunk, she couldn’t take a single step. Her plump, fair legs were completely weak, and since she was wearing high heels, her center of gravity was unsteady when walking.
With every step.
Chen Luo had to be on guard against Meng Yue crushing him, while also making sure they walked in a straight line. It was a good thing Chen Luo was a muscular hunk.
Anyone else truly wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
More than ten minutes later.
Chen Luo finally helped Meng Yue back to the small courtyard. The courtyard had an access control system at night. After Chen Luo used face recognition to open the gate, he supported Meng Yue up the stairs step by step.
Teacher Meng was wearing high heels.
Every step going upstairs produced a crisp clacking sound.
At the same time.
Gu Qing, who was playing on her phone on the living room sofa, immediately heard the footsteps coming upstairs. And she could tell that these footsteps.
Were different from Teacher Meng’s usual even pace.
So.
Gu Qing stood up curiously, slipped on her slippers, went to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, and stared at the corner.
Although her apartment was farther away.
Her line of sight happened to catch the upstairs balcony corner perfectly. This design was truly ingenious and precise, as if someone had carefully planned it.
Before long.
Gu Qing saw Meng Yue being supported upstairs by Chen Luo. Under the warm yellow light of the voice-activated lamp at the balcony corner, she clearly recognized them as Chen Luo and Meng Yue.
Seeing Chen Luo’s arm around Meng Yue’s waist.
The intimate way the two of them looked.
Gu Qing froze on the spot for a moment, a visible sense of disappointment welling up in her eyes. She turned around and sat back down on the sofa in a huff.
She sat there in a daze like a block of wood.
For some unknown reason.
An inexplicable sense of emptiness arose in her heart.
Then.
Gu Qing turned to look at the rabbit plushie on the sofa. Seeing its cute smiling face made her even angrier. Are you laughing at me too, you bad bunny?
I’ll beat you to death!
Gu Qing grabbed the rabbit plushie she used to hold in her arms, then clenched her pink fists and unleashed a flurry of invisible punches on it. After she got tired of hitting it, she lay back on the sofa.
Panting heavily.
The rise and fall of her chest was very noticeable.
“I give up!”
“Why am I getting angry over a scumbag? I won’t ever like him again! He was the one who initiated the breakup back then!”
“I don’t care who he’s with!”
Gu Qing muttered to herself in a low voice.
After saying that.
She hugged the rabbit plushie and went back to her room to sleep.
…
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Chen Luo supported Teacher Meng to her doorstep. Just as he was about to dig through Teacher Meng’s bag for her keys, he found that the door had been opened by a little boy.
Chen Luo was dumbfounded.
Why was there a little boy in Teacher Meng’s home?
Was Teacher Meng a mother?
And why did the kid look a bit like him?
