Class dismissed.
As Teacher Evelyn left, the atmosphere in the classroom became noisy again, as if everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Teacher Evelyn was young and beautiful, which should theoretically make her popular among students, the result was quite the opposite - most students were quite afraid of her.
Today, Luo Wei had experienced her other side - a stern and cold one.
With mixed feelings, he left the classroom and came to the office door.
He knocked gently.
"Come in." A cold voice came from inside.
Upon entering the office, he saw the same rows of bookshelves, with the curtains half-drawn, making the room dark.
"Eve-"
Before Luo Wei could finish speaking, a hand pulled him in.
Evelyn's strength was surprisingly great. Luo Wei was caught off guard as she embraced him and pressed him against the door.
The back of his head hit the wooden door panel with a loud thud.
"Teacher Evelyn? What are you doing?"
Luo Wei looked at her in shock.
Evelyn seemed to have lost her mind. She brought her face close to Luo Wei's neck, greedily inhaling his scent.
Her impressive curves pressed tightly against him, and that familiar enticing fragrance surrounded his senses.
[Evelyn]
[Favorability: 68↑]
[Description: Loves beautiful things, currently captivated by Luo Wei's smile]
"Teacher missed you so much~"
"It's been three days... Did little Wei miss his teacher?"
Her voice was muffled as her face remained buried in Luo Wei's neck.
After a long while, she finally raised her eyes, staring directly into Luo Wei's.
Luo Wei helplessly looked into those dark green eyes so close to him, feeling the intense love within them.
To be honest, he was a bit scared of such a gaze. Helena was a prime example of why.
His previous attempts to win over Teacher Evelyn were just desperate measures for survival, but he didn't expect it to become another hidden danger.
He really didn't want to be liked by these powerful and bizarre creatures... It could be fatal!
"I missed you, I really did..."
Luo Wei tried to break free from Evelyn's embrace, "Um, teacher, I miss you and all, but could you please let go of me..."
"Don't be shy." Evelyn whispered close to Luo Wei's ear.
"Do you remember what the teacher said in the classroom?"
Her tone was ambiguous and seductive.
With Evelyn pressing so closely against him, Luo Wei felt like he was about to lose control of himself.
But his mind was still strongly resisting, trying to play dumb.
"I don't remember..."
Seeing Luo Wei's interesting expression - blushing yet struggling hard - Evelyn's gaze deepened.
"Come to teacher's house tonight."
She invited him once again.
Luo Wei shook his head again, "No, I won't."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Evelyn's gaze turned dangerous.
"Why not? Because of that sister of yours?"
Evelyn loosened her grip but still had her arms on either side of Luo Wei.
"How am I inferior to that monster sister of yours? Be it looks, temperament, or..."
As she spoke, she grabbed Luo Wei's right arm and pressed it against her massive chest.
Because his right arm was injured, Luo Wei couldn't pull it back at all and could only allow her this seemingly mischievous act.
The soft sensation from her impressive assets, mixed with the dull pain from his arm wound, created an indescribable feeling.
"To be fair, teacher, yours are indeed bigger..."
"Aren't they?" Evelyn smiled proudly.
"That's not the main issue here..." Luo Wei looked at her with a bitter smile, "You don't understand my situation at home. If we continue like this, I'm afraid I might die..."
"Are you that afraid of your sister?"
Luo Wei nodded helplessly.
Evelyn frowned slightly, "Die? Is it that serious? Does she really want to kill you?"
"You saw what happened that day..." Luo Wei smiled bitterly.
"But..."
Evelyn had never thought that Luo Wei's monster sister was really that insane.
She had assumed that the incident in the basement that day was just some kind of adult game between the two, at most some physical punishment.
Even sawing off limbs was within her realm of understanding - there were plenty of such perverts in Saint Callen. But she never thought the sister actually wanted to kill Luo Wei.
"You told me that day that you saved that monster and raised her. Isn't she being too ungrateful by doing this?"
Evelyn still couldn't believe it. She touched Luo Wei's forehead and looked at him with pity:
"Child, you haven't been scared out of your wits, have you? That monster is probably just threatening you."
"It's true, teacher..." Luo Wei was about to swear on it, "I really will die!"
He had died several times already, so of course he knew better than anyone whether he would die or not.
Unfortunately, Evelyn couldn't see that.
Each time he died, the timeline would abruptly end and revert to the initial save point. Only he would remember the experiences in between.
"Is that so..."
Seeing Luo Wei's extremely serious expression, Evelyn suddenly became very interested in what had happened to him.
"Your monster sister must have fallen for you, unable to tolerate you being with other women. I'm really curious about what heartrending experiences you two have been through..."
"You have a monster sister at home, and you yourself are a mystery scholar, able to invent potions that even I haven't seen before..."
"I've researched the incidents from four years ago involving you. Your shadow can always be found in events related to mysterious powers."
Evelyn gently caressed Luo Wei's cheek, an unusual light gleaming in her eyes.
"Teacher is becoming more and more curious about you..."
Luo Wei looked into her eyes, his expression serious and earnest.
"The price of curiosity might be death."
"Just like your previous warnings to me about magic."
"Contact with me brings death and destruction. Anyone who gets involved is unfortunate."
"So..."
He sighed, "Let's end this. Continuing won't lead to good results for either of us."
The atmosphere was quiet for a long time.
Luo Wei even thought Evelyn had taken his words to heart.
But unexpectedly, Evelyn burst out laughing.
She covered her mouth, her body shaking with laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Luo Wei frowned.
Evelyn took a while to stop laughing. She pointed to the bookshelf on the other side.
"Third row, second book. There's a cliché romance novel with a line exactly like your last sentence."
Luo Wei looked at her helplessly. Was she mocking him?
"Come on!" Evelyn embraced Luo Wei somewhat forcefully.
"You've seen what teacher is capable of, what are you still afraid of?"
Evelyn sneered at the thought of Luo Wei's monster sister.
"Your teacher can't die. Killing me only makes me stronger. It's a talent ingrained in my bloodline. I'd actually like to have a good fight with her, there's nothing to lose anyway."
"If you're really that scared..."
Evelyn curved her lips into a seductive smile, extending the invitation once more.
"Why don't you come live at teacher's house! It's my domain, and no one else can do as they please there!"
"How did we get back to this topic again..." Luo Wei was exasperated, feeling like she was trying every way to lure him to her house.
And she's supposed to be a teacher! Seducing a student, how improper!
But regardless, Luo Wei still showed a grateful smile.
Just as he was about to refuse again,
There was a sudden urgent knocking on the door he was leaning against.
The commotion outside was chaotic, as if quite a few people had arrived.
"Are Luo Wei Edlin and Evelyn here?"
Evelyn released her arms, and they both looked over in confusion.
"Please open the door. Saint Callen Police Department, investigating a case!"
