Chapter 1 The Kind-hearted Female Colleague
Chapter 1 The Kind-hearted Female Colleague
In a brightly lit conference room, a group of people sat around a table, having a meeting.
The leader, wearing half-rimmed glasses, was speaking animatedly in front of him, while Bai Yuze, in an inconspicuous corner, stared blankly into space. Well, it wasn't exactly a blank stare, but rather something in his line of sight.
The two are not even in the same world.
Within the caves filled with piles of purplish-brown flesh and blood, the glowing objects overhead were several low-level abyssal beasts, their bodies clinging to the top of the flesh and blood caves.
It arched and drew nourishment from the flesh and blood in the cave, its body emitting a faint green light that illuminated the damp and cold cave, while a putrid stench filled its nostrils.
In the center of the cave stood several calamity beasts, their positions clearly defined, gathered together and talking about something.
Bai Yuzhe was among them, not far away, and the stench emanating from them was clearly audible.
The leading calamity beast was several times the size of the others, with two or three sharp spikes on the back of its head, dark green skin, and thick limbs. It stood at the top, roaring angrily...
Bai Yuze rested his chin on his hand, his eyes unfocused, gazing at the scenery of the strange place through the dim light above the cave.
The dim, cold light caressed my cheeks, feeling slightly chilly.
A soft sound indicated that the leader's speech had reached its climax.
The dark and damp cave has been transformed into a simple and bright conference room, the terrifying monsters have turned into normal humans, and the stench that filled the air has vanished without a trace.
They sat on either side of the conference room, the angry monster at the head now transformed into a well-dressed leader, pointing out various problems that had arisen this month.
However, the scene before him lasted only a few minutes before his vision began to shift again, and various stenches filled his nostrils once more, making his expression quite subtle.
Half an hour later, the sound of chairs moving rang out, and his eyes gradually focused. He followed the crowd out of the conference room, walking down the corridor like a walking corpse.
Ah, another day of blissful idleness.
No girlfriend, no parents, no money, and mentally ill.
It doesn't matter. I only need to make a small move to let life know just how useless I really am.
Life's been terrible anyway, so I might as well just leave it at that.
"Teacher Bai, are you feeling unwell?"
Bai Yuzhe calmed his unease and fear, and a smile, as natural as possible, appeared on his slightly stiff face. He looked at the female creature beside him and replied with a smile.
"I am in good health, thank you for your concern, Hoshino-sensei."
Bai Yuze turned around, and there was a female monster that was completely attached to his XP.
The female monster's body had elegant and smooth curves, and her skin was a grayish-white color that looked shiny and smooth. Her eyes were like bottomless lake water, shimmering with a ghostly blue light, as if they could see into the depths of people's hearts.
Long, slender, and elegant antennae grew from the top of her head, swaying gently and emitting a strange and captivating fragrance.
Her limbs were long and powerful, with sharp claws at the tips of her fingers.
A pair of enormous wings grew from her back, their feathers a beautiful, pure white.
Overall, this monster's appearance is both mysterious and captivating, unlike other calamity monsters that are unacceptable. It inspires awe and longing in people.
After a while, his vision returned to normal, and the female creature beside him transformed into a gentle and lovely human woman.
For some reason, my headaches would lessen considerably whenever this female teacher was around.
This human woman, named Hoshino Seri, comes from Dongying City in Xia Country.
Like him, he was a teacher at Yeqiu No. 1 Middle School, and they worked in adjacent offices in the same city.
Ms. Hoshino is a very gentle person and a great math and psychology teacher. However, she is a little introverted and doesn't like to talk to strangers.
However, their interactions over the past few months have led them to suspect that they are both secretly fans of anime and manga culture, and as they get to know each other better, they have developed a fairly close relationship.
"In the past, Teacher Bai would sometimes daydream or slack off during meetings with the leaders, but her behavior these past few weeks seems a bit off."
Hoshino Seri stared at Bai Yuze with her bright eyes for a long time before speaking seriously.
"Huh? Is it that obvious that I'm slacking off? I'll correct myself next time."
Hoshino Seri sighed resentfully at his perfunctory attitude: "Actually, if Teacher Shiro has any psychological needs, you can ask me for help."
"Really?"
Bai Yuze suddenly stopped and looked at Hoshino Seri with hopeful eyes, which made her pause for a moment. Then, Hoshino-sensei nodded very seriously.
"If I can help, I will do my best."
"No, you've already done it! Seeing Hoshino-sensei's pure and innocent smile every morning fills me with hope and motivation for the new day!"
Bai Yuze raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if trying to make his appearance more convincing.
"Teacher Bai is so skilled, was he a playboy before?"
Young Hoshino-sensei was clearly not thick-skinned enough; when praised, her face flushed slightly, and she seemed a little embarrassed.
Her gaze lingered for a few seconds on the cartoon pig with glasses in Bai Yuzhe's hand. With just a few strokes, she captured the cartoon character's emotions so vividly, just like the demeanor of the leader who had just spoken on stage.
However, what she found regrettable was...
The other party quickly crumpled up a draft with the leader's portrait and threw it into the trash can.
"No, the reason I say that is because every time I leave home or come back, my rebellious phase of my childhood never gives me a nice look."
"So..." Bai Yuze paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the female teacher's cute face, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"I really hope to see Hoshino-sensei's smiling face to heal the psychological fog caused by my sister's cold words."
As she finished speaking, Hoshino Seri's gaze towards him gradually deepened, becoming strange, disdainful, understanding... and finally—"Excuse me."
Seeing the change in the young female teacher's expression, Bai Yuzhe knew exactly what was going on.
The other person's thoughts were starting to wander in an abnormal direction. He had to stop this dangerous idea immediately, or he would soon be labeled a perverted siscon.
"Hoshino-sensei, please take that weird look away from me. I may have watched a few anime about siblings, but I swear to Luoshui, I'm definitely not a siscon!!!"
Looking at Teacher Bai's determined gaze,
Hoshino Seri nodded in deep agreement, seemingly believing his statement, but the doubt in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"Well, I have a small request. Ms. Bai, could you please provide me with your sister's contact information? Paying attention to the mental health of teenagers is an inescapable responsibility for teachers!"
Unbeknownst to them, the two had moved from the conference room on the second floor to the office on the first floor.
Hoshino Seri put down her book and said to him.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Hoshino-sensei." After writing down his sister's contact information, Bai Yuze handed the note to Hoshino Seri, feeling a sense of relief.
Just as he was about to push open the door and leave, Hoshino Seri suddenly called out to him.
Bai Yuze turned around.
The adorable Hoshino Seri puffed out her cheeks and stared straight at him with a hint of resentment in her voice.
"Senior Xiaobai, I know the story of the Oath of the Luo River, so please don't try to fool me~"
"Forehead……"
Bai Yuze coughed twice, looking somewhat embarrassed. He should have said the Yellow River or the Yangtze River instead.
Those damned Sima bastards, they've ruined the beautiful Luo River.
Looking into Hoshino-sensei's eyes,
Her eyes were full of smiles and warmth, a beauty that was intoxicating and could make one temporarily forget all their troubles.
Do not know why,
Every time I talk to Hoshino-sensei, I feel a lot of pressure.
There was really no other way today. It seems that the kind-hearted Hoshino-sensei noticed my unusual physical condition, so I had to throw out my little sister as a shield.
