Speaking of which, meeting a super beautiful teacher is almost a dream every male student has had. There's a joke online that often mentions if my homeroom teacher were this pretty, I would never skip class again. Ye Shikai is not a crude person who judges by appearances, pretty ones may just be vases. The essence of the joke, after all, is that simple and straightforward truth, that attractive people easily catch others' attention, especially those of the opposite sex.

Ye Shikai's previous teacher was a middle-aged woman in her fifties, but she was very "kind," and every time he skipped class, she wouldn't punish him harshly, at most, he'd just have to write a self-criticism.

"Hey, you pervy brother-in-law, what are you staring at?" Suddenly, a resentful voice rang in Ye Shikai's ear, snapping him back to reality. When he turned his head, Su Ziqing was glaring at him viciously, apparently because Ye Shikai was looking at a beautiful woman.

"Hmph, you couldn't move when you saw a beauty." Su Ziqing pinched Ye Shikai's waist forcefully. Su Ziqing was Su Qingyu's younger sister, so Ye Shikai staring at a beautiful woman would naturally make her unhappy.

"Ahem, sorry, it's just that...your teacher is...quite distinctive." Ye Shikai said awkwardly. Indeed, from the first glance, Ye Shikai was unconsciously "mesmerized." How strange, could it be that he has no resistance to beautiful women now?

"Oh, uncle, you're also going to fall at the feet of Mrs. Dongfang." Han Ruoyao teased.

"What?"

"The one you were looking at is our teacher, named Dongfang Lian. She's twenty-four years old, but she's already a PhD, and was just recently transferred to our school." Han Ruoya explained to Ye Shikai.

"You know so much about this."

"Of course, when Mrs. Dongfang arrived, she caused a 'sensation' across the whole school. Countless male students know these details." Han Ruoya said with a smile, "It seems uncle can't resist a beauty either."

"Ahem, Han, Su, and… this..." At this moment, Dongfang Lian came over holding a loudspeaker. When her gaze fell on Ye Shikai, she paused immediately. She didn't know Ye Shikai before, so naturally, didn't know his name.

"Ye Shikai, he's my brother-in-law." Su Ziqing quickly introduced.

"Oh, so it's Mr. Ye, sorry, I forgot the name." Dongfang Lian said apologetically.

"It's nothing, I'm just here with Qingqing. I hope you'll take good care of her, Teacher." Ye Shikai responded.

"Since everyone is here, let's get on the bus." Dongfang Lian pointed at the bus.

"Alright, let's go now." Ye Shikai helped the two girls place their luggage and tents in the storage compartment below the bus, and the three boarded one by one.

Most of the participants were students from Yanjing University. Honestly, Ye Shikai envied them. These students had worked hard to pass the entrance exam for this so-called "top university." Compared to other university graduates, they would have more competitive advantages when they graduated. Most importantly, university life is a beautiful memory, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, Ye Shikai didn't have this memory...

Ye Shikai found a seat to sit down, and the two girls almost started arguing over a question again.

Because the bus seats were all two seats connected together with an aisle in the middle, both girls wanted to sit beside Ye Shikai, but...there was only one seat available.

"Move, I want to sit next to uncle."

"Stupid Yaoyao, you move. This is my brother-in-law." The two girls began to argue, and Ye Shikai quickly stepped in to mediate. These were all classmates and teachers. If they started fighting here, just imagine it—the two campus queens fighting over a guy at Yanjing University, wouldn't that be chaos?

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

At this moment, a male and female voice simultaneously sounded, one was Ye Shikai's, and the other was Dongfang Lian's.

The whole bus fell silent.

The two exchanged a glance, instantly feeling extremely awkward. They really spoke in unison!

"Qingqing, Yaoyao, you're overdoing it." Ye Shikai was quite embarrassed, noticing the strange looks from the surrounding classmates felt a bit self-conscious. Classmates are very gossipy nowadays and tend to overthink things.

In the end, under Ye Shikai's request, Su Ziqing sat in the seat beside him, though she was only across the aisle from Han Ruoya, easily reachable.

"Brother-in-law, look there." Suddenly, Su Ziqing patted Ye Shikai's shoulder, pointing to the seat next to Han Ruoyao, where Dongfang Lian was sitting.

"How about it, brother-in-law, do you want me to talk to Mrs. Dongfang, and see if we can switch seats? I'll sit next to Yaoyao, and let Mrs. Dongfang sit next to you." Su Ziqing had a sly look, as if trying to lure Ye Shikai—or rather, it was clearly an attempt to lure him.

"In that case, your sister probably won't even let me in at home." Ye Shikai put on headphones, intending to while away the boring time on the bus.

The bus drove into the suburbs, and they were halfway through the journey. Beyond the suburbs lay the wild camping mountains.

Scratch.

Suddenly, the bus screeched to a halt, and the students on it tilted forward due to inertia. Dongfang Lian quickly stood up and asked the driver, "What happened? Why did we stop?"

"There's a disturbance ahead."

Ye Shikai lifted his head and saw dozens of men with steel rods and wooden barricades blocking the road a few dozen meters in front of the bus.

Bang, bang, bang.

Suddenly, some men approached and tapped the bus with their steel rods.

"Pay the toll." The leader shouted arrogantly, and others joined in the yelling. By then, the students on the bus noticed something was wrong and looked towards the commotion outside.

"What's happening?" Seeing these fierce men wielding steel rods, Dongfang Lian, a twenty-four-year-old girl, couldn't help but feel frightened.

"They are probably some jobless people from nearby. This place is remote, so they scare passing vehicles into paying a toll." Ye Shikai said calmly. In reality, this behavior was just like the bandits and highwaymen of old. These people, in small groups, threatened with steel rods, forcibly collecting fees. The drivers of passing vehicles, fearing trouble, likely considered themselves unlucky and complied.

"What? How can people like this exist?" Dongfang Lian had the driver open the door and rushed out immediately.

"Hey, how can you be so unreasonable, demanding our money just like that?" Dongfang Lian, wearing black-rimmed glasses, shouted loudly at the group of "thugs."

"This is bad, let's get off and help the teacher." A male classmate shouted. Those thugs weren't law-abiding citizens, and Dongfang Lian going down was like "a lamb entering a tiger's den."
