“Mm~” Teacher Dong Yue’s face broke into an unconsciously sweet and blissful smile as she took bite after bite, completely unable to stop.
“Teacher~ You’ve got to liven up a bit!” Liang Sheng sidled up close to Teacher Dong Yue’s ear and whispered, “Teacher~ It’s such a rare chance. Come play with us and relax for a while~”
Rather than bluntly saying, “Teacher, if you’re more lively, no one will be scared of you,” Liang Sheng spoke from Teacher Dong Yue’s perspective, as if she were genuinely concerned for her teacher’s well-being—words that tugged at the heartstrings.
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Dong Yue’s Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 162”
Teacher Dong Yue was no fool; she naturally understood Liang Sheng’s good intentions.
But as a teacher, she truly couldn’t let loose in front of her students!
Just then, Ni Sihan arrived, now dressed in a short skirt.
“Hey~ Good afternoon, everyone~” Ni Sihan waved cheerfully.
“Wanna go play some games together?” Ni Sihan was eager to show off the new gaming console her family had bought.
She didn’t know how to play it, but she knew it was expensive. And expensive things were meant to be flaunted—especially to the handsome guys, who were sure to love it.
Liang Sheng perked up at once. “Where?”
“In my special relaxation lounge upstairs~” Ni Sihan said with a hint of smug pride.
Liang Sheng caught every trace of that smugness and silently shook her head. Sigh~ Another kid blinded by vanity.
“Let’s go, Teacher Dong Yue—time to show off your skills!” Liang Sheng smoothly linked arms with her teacher.
In the original story, Teacher Dong Yue was actually pretty skilled at gaming, but only the male lead knew it. Naturally, that made Su Ze—the male lead—the only one who ever played games with her.
Not on my watch! In this life, no way was she letting that big pig trotter Su Ze get his hands on their adorable Teacher Dong Yue!
“Huh?” Teacher Dong Yue frowned. What was Liang Sheng saying…?
“You guys come too~!” Of course, Liang Sheng didn’t forget to call out to her other targets.
Gu Yuqi, Song An’an, Lu Ziqing, and Liang Jin all followed along, trailed by eighteen or nineteen other classmates—including twelve boys.
Even with the teacher there, the allure of gaming outweighed their fear of her.
Upstairs, Liang Sheng spotted the pair of limited edition game controllers that Ni Sihan had bought. She knew nothing about them herself, so she turned to Teacher Dong Yue. But while Teacher Dong Yue was a pro at actually playing games, she didn’t know much about controllers either.
One of the savvy guys in the back recognized them at a glance and immediately sidled up to Ni Sihan, showering her with starry-eyed praise that had her struggling not to burst out laughing.
“It’s nothing special~” she said.
“Anyone wanna give it a try?” Ni Sihan crossed her arms and scanned the group.
Liang Sheng was just about to raise her hand and claim a spot for her teacher when two other boys beat her to it.
Tch! The nerve—daring to snatch a spot from the teacher.
Well, first come, first served. Liang Sheng plopped down in a chair at the back to wait for them to finish.
She didn’t play games much herself, but she was decent at a few. Watching this unfamiliar game on the screen, she could tell right away that these two guys were total noobs—bad and loving every minute of it.
They played for over ten minutes without budging, and they were only getting worse. Liang Sheng couldn’t stand it anymore. She walked over and crouched beside one of the guys. “Hey, classmate, could you give up your spot?”
“Why should I? I haven’t even played long,” the boy snapped irritably, trying to shoo her away. But when he turned and saw a stunning beauty blinking up at him, his tone flipped instantly. “Ahem, classmate, do you wanna play?”
Liang Sheng shook her head and pointed behind her to Teacher Dong Yue, who was waiting patiently. “Our class advisor wants a turn.”
The boy knew Teacher Dong Yue; she’d subbed for their math teacher during a sick leave.
“…”
Whoosh!
He shot to his feet in an instant, rubbing the back of his neck and flashing Teacher Dong Yue a goofy grin. “Haha~ Teacher, come on over and play!”
Teacher Dong Yue rose slowly and pointed at herself. “Me? I mean, me?”
“Yeah! Come on, Teacher!” The boy slunk off sheepishly to sit by his friend.
Teacher Dong Yue was baffled. She’d seen Liang Sheng head over and assumed the girl wanted to play herself. Only now did she realize Liang Sheng had gone for her sake.
“Ding~” Favorability increased.
“Dong Yue’s Favorability towards Liang Sheng: 163.5”
Nearby, the chubby rich boy from Liang Sheng’s class—Fatty—broke out in a cold sweat the moment he saw his advisor coming over to game with him.
He wondered if he should go easy on his homeroom teacher.
“No need to hold back for the teacher—she’s really good!” Liang Sheng said affectionately, leaning against Teacher Dong Yue’s back.
Teacher Dong Yue nodded nervously at her student. “Just play at your normal level.”
Ugh! This was even more nerve-wracking than a pop quiz.
Fatty didn’t dare take it seriously at first.
But once Teacher Dong Yue started wiping the floor with him, he realized his advisor was a gaming beast! Panicking, he went all out.
After more than ten minutes, Fatty had lost three matches.
“You’re trash!” one of the onlookers yelled, pumped up and itching to jump in against Teacher Dong Yue himself.
A bold guy shoved Fatty aside and took his seat. “Teacher, I won’t go easy on you!”
He figured Fatty had just been too scared to focus.
Teacher Dong Yue relaxed a little. “No need—I can take you.”
In that moment, she seemed to forget she was the teacher, with her student right beside her.
“Whoa! Teacher, you’re amazing!” After two rounds, the boy collapsed dramatically at her feet, gazing up in awe.
The other students exchanged glances, still skeptical—they thought he was just pretending to lose.
A few more took their turns and got utterly demolished. Finally, everyone believed Teacher Dong Yue had won fair and square with real skill.
Energized from the games, Teacher Dong Yue thrust her controller high and bellowed at the students: “Little brats! Who’s next to challenge your teacher?!”
Ahh, Teacher Dong Yue like this was surprisingly adorable~ Liang Sheng smirked to herself. This was how a teacher earned her students’ love and admiration.
“I’m in!”
“Teacher, you’re so good—teach me!”
The whole room lit up with excitement. All the game-loving boys and girls crowded around Teacher Dong Yue like she was a celebrity, completely forgetting she was the very teacher they feared at school.
