"Luo Tang, let's sit down and just watch them take the exam," Wan Yunting said, placing two chairs on the platform for Gu Luo Tang, who was supervising the students' exam below. The two chatted in hushed tones, and a class period quickly passed.
"Alright, students, you can hand in your papers and be dismissed." Wan Yunting said with a smile to the children as he collected the test papers. It was the last class of the afternoon, and it was almost five o'clock.
"Goodbye, teacher, school's out!" The students erupted with excitement, packing their bags and rushing out. Holding the test papers, Wan Yunting and Gu Luo Tang smiled as they said, "Slow down, don't fall..."
"Teacher Wan, can you come to my house for dinner tonight?" Song Moyi, with her small backpack, approached, tugging on Wan Yunting's arm and looking at him with eager anticipation, pouting in a charming way. "You haven't been to my house for dinner in ages."
Wan Yunting handed the test papers in his hand to Gu Luo Tang, then cupped Song Moyi's tender and cute face in his hands. He smiled and said, "Let me see, how is your recovery? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No!" Song Moyi shook her head with a cute smile and said, "I can already participate in sports activities and run with my classmates."
"That's great." Wan Yunting released her small face, took her wrist, and pulled her along as they walked out of the classroom with Gu Luo Tang. He channeled his qi into Song Moyi's pulse to take a detailed reading, confirming her heart condition had recovered very well. He smiled gently and said, "But you still can't do overly strenuous exercises. Running with your classmates is fine, but you can't run for too long, understand?"
"Mm-hmm, I got it," Song Moyi nodded her little head and agreed with a giggle.
As they descended the stairs, they saw a group of parents waiting at the school gate in the distance to pick up their children. Among them, Ruan Xingwen's tall figure was seen quickening her pace towards Wan Yunting. Perhaps it had been a long time since they last met, and the woman missed him. Her raven-black, soft hair cascaded onto her fragrant shoulders, her face with its well-defined features, and her pair of eyes sparkling with joy, her gaze captivating and exuding a seductive charm. Her full, moist red lips exuded a captivating aura. Today, Ruan Xingwen was wearing a blue jacket over a professional OL pencil skirt, with black stockings accentuating her shapely legs, displaying her alluring charm. She walked briskly in rhythm with her high heels. Upon seeing Gu Luo Tang beside the man, she smiled and greeted them, "Teacher Wan, Teacher Gu, hello."
"Hello, Moyi's mother..." Gu Luo Tang offered a practiced and gentle smile, nodding slightly at her. Wan Yunting also nodded with a smile and handed Song Moyi's small hand, which he had been holding, to Ruan Xingwen. He then asked, "Are you still giving Moyi medicine now?"
"Yes, I've been following your instructions and giving it to her," Ruan Xingwen replied maturely and generously, nodding with a smile.
Wan Yunting patted Song Moyi's little head and said with a smile, "Moyi is recovering very well, but she still needs to take medicine for a while longer."
"Ah, Teacher Wan, I still have to take it? The medicine is so bitter," Song Moyi pouted, her face displaying a bitter expression as she pleaded.
Wan Yunting smiled gently and said, "That depends on your performance. If you behave well, it'll be at most a month. If you don't, then it'll be two months."
"I still have to take it for one or two months?" Song Moyi's expression deflated like a leaky balloon, making Gu Luo Tang cover her mouth with laughter. Ruan Xingwen also gave her daughter a smiling glance and said, "Didn't I buy you candy every time you took medicine? What's so bitter about it? You'll get used to it as you keep drinking it."
Wan Yunting and Gu Luo Tang chuckled. Ruan Xingwen looked at them and said, "Teacher Wan, Teacher Gu, since you're both here today, why don't I treat you to dinner tonight?"
Wan Yunting's expression faltered for a moment, and he turned to look at Gu Luo Tang. However, she smiled apologetically at Ruan Xingwen and said, "I'm sorry, Moyi's mother, I have something on tonight and can't make it. Why don't you just invite Teacher Wan?"
"You have something on? Alright, then Teacher Wan, may I invite you?" Ruan Xingwen's demeanor was natural, but the look in her eyes as she gazed at the man betrayed a hint of fiery desire, though it was not easily noticed.
Wan Yunting knew that Gu Luo Tang and Qi Miaomiao did indeed have plans for the evening. Seeing Ruan Xingwen's invitation, he nodded with a smile and said, "Then I'll gratefully accept."
Gu Luo Tang, holding the test papers, smiled and said, "Then Brother Yunting, you two go ahead. I'll head back to the office."
"Okay." Wan Yunting nodded. Ruan Xingwen and Song Moyi waved goodbye to her. Gu Luo Tang smiled and turned, walking towards the teacher's office building.
Ruan Xingwen immediately turned back, and her beautiful eyes, as she looked at Wan Yunting, revealed a seductive charm. She smiled and said, "Then let's go home. I've already asked Auntie to prepare dinner."
"Alright." Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, then took Song Moyi's happy little hand, and Ruan Xingwen took her other hand. Anyone who didn't know them might have thought they were a family of three.
Wan Yunting drove, following Ruan Xingwen's car back to her home. As usual, Wan Yunting helped Song Moyi with her homework outside. When dinner was ready, Ruan Xingwen called them in to eat. "Yunting, would you like some wine?"
"I won't drink, I have to drive later." Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile, indicating he would be leaving soon. Ruan Xingwen felt a pang of disappointment, as she hadn't seen the man in a long time.
"I can stay back later," Wan Yunting, being unable to miss Ruan Xingwen's thoughts, said with a smile.
"Okay." Ruan Xingwen then smiled happily, exuding charm, and while serving her daughter, she continuously served Wan Yunting as well, making them look like a family of three.
After dinner, Ruan Xingwen called out to Auntie, "Take Moyi upstairs to bathe first. Have her drink her medicine after bathing."
"Okay." Auntie nodded and took Song Moyi to the second floor. Ruan Xingwen, who was clearing the dishes, put them down, glanced at the man sitting beside her, then put down what she was holding and went to sit in Wan Yunting's lap, embracing him and initiating a kiss...
The widow's longing, a solitude like a raging fire, burned with intense passion...
In a room on the first basement level of the villa, Ruan Xingwen leaned against Wan Yunting's chest, tilting her head slightly. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the man's unshaven chin with a hazy, seductive look, and she smiled, "I saw on the news that you and that Teacher Gu are together?"
Wan Yunting looked down at her and smiled faintly, "So, don't you think I'm a scumbag?"
Ruan Xingwen rested her left cheek on his chest and chuckled, "Not at all. For a man like you, it's normal to have a few close female friends around."
Wan Yunting held her and said, "But I can never give you anything!"
Ruan Xingwen looked up, her gaze filled with a tender affection as she met his eyes, shaking her head slightly and smiling, "I don't need you to give me anything, and I won't actively bother you. I just need you to come and see me once in a while when you think of me."
Facing Ruan Xingwen's gentle tenderness, Wan Yunting caressed her cheek with his hand, smiled, and then pushed her down again...
Meanwhile, at home, Lu Xiaodie and Li Shuyun were eating and said to Huang Guilan, "Aunt Lan, does he often not come home for dinner?"
Huang Guilan, who had been invited to eat with them, looked at Lu Xiaodie and nodded with a smile, "Yes, although I've only been working at Mr. Wan's house for a short time, he rarely eats at home. He's almost always busy outside."
"I see, someone so capable must be too busy to eat," Lu Xiaodie said with a smile, raising her wine glass to Li Shuyun, who was sitting beside her. "Come, Shuyun, cheers."
Li Shuyun also raised her wine glass and lightly clinked it with Lu Xiaodie's. The girl had a very calm demeanor. After Huang Guilan finished eating and left the table, Lu Xiaodie immediately leaned over and whispered to Li Shuyun with a smile, "Shuyun, are you planning to cultivate with Brother Wan tonight again?"
Li Shuyun turned to look at her and nodded slightly while eating, "I'm staying here to cultivate with him. I'll be returning to Malaysia with my parents in a few days, and I don't want to miss any time."
"Alright." Lu Xiaodie couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "But Shuyun, you said you and Brother Wan are just cultivating. Have you really never felt anything, you know, *that* way?"
Li Shuyun turned to look at her again and calmly said, "You mean the feeling of making love?"
Lu Xiaodie's eyes widened. Seeing the girl's calm and composed demeanor, as if she didn't care about such things, made Lu Xiaodie burst into laughter. Shaking her head, she was utterly conquered by Li Shuyun's peculiar way of thinking and said, "Shuyun, I admire you more and more. In a few years, you'll definitely become a master of martial arts. Come, let's drink."
"Mm." Li Shuyun nodded and clinked glasses with her again. Lu Xiaodie's interest was piqued, and she asked with wide eyes and a smile, "Quick, tell me, have you had that feeling?"
Li Shuyun's cheeks flushed slightly, and she smiled and nodded at Lu Xiaodie, "Yes, we did last night!"
"Wow, so you've fallen for Brother Wan?" Lu Xiaodie exclaimed.
Li Shuyun shook her head slightly and smiled, "I don't know. I've never been in love, so I don't understand that kind of liking between men and women."
Lu Xiaodie looked at her with astonishment, as if she were looking at a national treasure, "Shuyun, you're so innocent! (Or, what a peculiar person!)"
"But I've never had a boyfriend either." Lu Xiaodie then pouted and leaned closer to Li Shuyun, whispering with a smile, "Don't laugh at me, but I've never slept with a man."
Li Shuyun looked at her askance and calmly said, "So, you want to cultivate with Yunting too?"
"Cough cough..." These words made Lu Xiaodie choke.
Huang Guilan hurried over, "Miss Lu, what's wrong?"
"I'm fine, Aunt Lan, I just choked..." Lu Xiaodie wiped her mouth with a tissue, her cheeks flushing slightly from Li Shuyun's words. She gave the girl a look and said, "Shuyun, your way of speaking is truly unique. It's hard to keep up with your thoughts..."
"I'm back." At this moment, Wan Yunting called out and strode in. Seeing Lu Xiaodie and Li Shuyun eating and drinking, Huang Guilan came out and smiled, "Mr. Wan, have you eaten? Would you like me to stir-fry a couple of dishes for you?"
"No, Aunt Lan, I've eaten at a friend's. Don't work too hard, go and rest," Wan Yunting pulled out a chair and sat beside Lu Xiaodie, waving his hand with a smile to Huang Guilan. He then smiled at the two women and asked, "What are you chatting about? You're already drinking?"
"Come, have some..." Lu Xiaodie took out an empty wine glass and poured him a glass of red wine. Wan Yunting took the glass and drank it. Li Shuyun slowly said, "We were talking about our cultivation..."
"Pfft..." Wan Yunting immediately spat out the red wine, spraying it directly onto Lu Xiaodie's face. Ouch, stimulating...
