183: big

Su Ze first went to find Xu Yiming; as a colleague, Xu Yiming knew where Chen Xin lived.

Xu Yiming was very happy to see Su Ze at his door. He pulled Su Ze's hand, clearly intending to have a long, heart-to-heart talk, while Xu Yao stood by, smiling as she poured a cup of tea for him.

But Su Ze was in a hurry, so he said, "Uncle Xu, let's chat another time. Can you take me to see Teacher Chen Xin?"

"Chen Xin? What do you want with her?" Xu Yiming looked at Su Ze quite warily.

He now completely viewed Su Ze as a son-in-law, so seeing Su Ze in such a rush to find a mature woman, he couldn't help but ask more.

After all, although Chen Xin was a teacher, she was actually only a few years older than Su Ze. Coupled with her excellent figure, the lack of a boyfriend by her side, and her eye-catching behavior, she was quite a distraction.

Every year, many naive young boys would confess their feelings to Chen Xin after attending her classes, so he had to be on guard.

So he turned to Xu Yao, who was standing behind him, and said, "Yaoyao, I can't get away right now. Why don't you go with Su Ze to find Aunt Chen Xin? You know where she lives; it's not far from here."

Xu Yiming deliberately emphasized the word "Aunt," subtly reminding Su Ze of the status gap between them.

But Su Ze clearly didn't notice this. After saying goodbye to Xu Yiming, he followed Xu Yao to find Chen Xin's residence.

Xu Yao skipped along ahead and said, "After the school's staff housing was destroyed, the teachers' current housing is still provided by the school. It just so happens that my dad is in charge of the statistics for this."

"I took a quick look at the form earlier and noted Teacher Chen Xin's location. Let me think... it should be this way."

"'Should be'?" Su Ze looked at Xu Yao, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

She rubbed her head and stuck out her tongue. "I only noted the address; I haven't actually been there myself."

"But trust me, it won't be wrong!"

Then, Xu Yao led Su Ze on a winding path through the residential area. After nearly making a full circle, they finally found the building she had mentioned.

"Found it! It's right here. I told you I wouldn't be wrong!"

"Mm..." Su Ze looked back at Xu Yao's apartment building not far away. No wonder Xu Yiming had said Chen Xin's home wasn't far before they left.

If they had chosen to turn left instead of right after leaving the house, they probably would have arrived long ago, but Su Ze didn't say it out loud.

While praising Xu Yao's navigation skills, he walked into the building. He soon found the apartment number Xu Yao had remembered for Chen Xin and rang the doorbell.

However, the two of them waited for a while without hearing any movement. Just as Su Ze began to wonder if Xu Yao had remembered incorrectly—and even she was blushing and scratching her head in embarrassment—

Su Ze heard a rustling sound from inside the room, followed by the pitter-patter of footsteps.

The footsteps stopped behind the door for a moment, and a voice from inside asked, "Who is it?"

Su Ze recognized that the voice indeed belonged to Chen Xin; they hadn't come to the wrong place. She was likely peering through the peephole behind the door to confirm their identities.

Soon, the door was pushed open. Chen Xin, her hair a bit messy, said with a smile, "Su Ze, Xu Yao, what brings you here?"

"Hello, Teacher Chen Xin... Big... Mmph..."

Su Ze was just about to greet her when he realized that Chen Xin had come to the door without being properly dressed.

Perhaps because she was in too much of a hurry, her top had gotten caught on her milky-white breasts and hadn't been pulled down.

Xu Yao also noticed this. She immediately reached back to cover Su Ze's eyes, while her other hand, sensing trouble, covered his mouth.

This resulted in the greeting mentioned above.

"Big?" Chen Xin was confused for a moment, then realized what was happening. She let out a cry of surprise, her face turning red, and hurriedly pulled her clothes down to cover herself.

Seeing that everything was fine, Xu Yao released her hands from Su Ze's eyes and mouth. Thus, when Su Ze saw the world again, the "beauty" of this world was no longer visible.

He was just about to let out a regretful sigh when Xu Yao glared him into silence.

Then Xu Yao looked at Chen Xin with an unfriendly expression, wondering if she had done it on purpose.

Soon, the two were welcomed inside.

But looking around, they didn't know where to sit.

Because it was messy—it was incredibly messy!

Discarded clothes were everywhere, all over the sofa and chairs.

Su Ze even stepped on something with an underwire. The moment he looked down, Xu Yao almost covered his eyes again.

Su Ze couldn't help but remark, "So it was on the floor... No wonder it wasn't there just now..."

Blushing furiously, Chen Xin hurriedly began to tidy up the dirty clothes she had worn, stuffing them all into the washing machine.

It wasn't until the overburdened washing machine began to groan and turn that she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew..."

Then she came over to them and said, "Sorry, I've been home alone for so many days and haven't had to go out for classes, so I've been a bit... casual."

Su Ze was speechless; this was more than just a "bit" casual.

"Teacher Chen Xin, why did it take so long to open the door? We thought you weren't home," Su Ze said as he found a place to sit, trying to sound casual to break the awkward atmosphere.

To his surprise, Chen Xin's expression became even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "As you can see... almost all my clothes are dirty, so I just grabbed something relatively clean to throw on so I could open the door..."

Su Ze's eyes widened. According to that, was she naked before they arrived?

Even if it was at home, that was a bit too casual.

Just then, a sharp pain in his waist brought Su Ze back from his fantasies.

He looked at Xu Yao's unfriendly gaze and gave a forced smile.

He had almost matched the scene he saw at the door with the image of Chen Xin at home he had just conjured in his mind.

Xu Yao felt even more relieved. Fortunately, her father had made her come along; otherwise, who knows what would have happened?

"What are you still standing there for? Get to the point," Xu Yao said crossly.

Chen Xin also recovered from her embarrassment and said, "By the way, I didn't get a chance to ask earlier. What did you come to see me for?"

Only then did Su Ze ask his question: "Teacher Chen Xin, I have a batch of demon beast eggs, but I don't know how to hatch them. Can you guide me on the method?"

"demon beast eggs?" Chen Xin nodded and said, "No problem. Show me what species they are, and then I can give you the appropriate method."

Su Ze replied, "There are... quite a lot. I'm afraid the room won't fit them all if I take them all out."

Chen Xin perked up at this and asked, "How many are there?"

"About eighty platinum-level ones, over a thousand Gold-rank ones, and I haven't counted the other grades."

Chen Xin's eyes widened at the news, her chest heaving with heavy breaths. Su Ze stared dumbfounded at the visible swaying of her unrestrained breasts.

This earned him another vicious pinch from Xu Yao.

"So many?! You're not lying to me, are you?!"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "It's absolutely true, Big... Teacher."

Chen Xin thought for a moment and said, "How about this: find me a place, and I'll figure out those platinum eggs first."

As she spoke, she was about to get up and head out with Su Ze, but he stopped her and said, "Teacher, let's not rush. Put your clothes on properly first!"
