Shen Ting was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously waved her hand.

Just as she was about to say no, Shi Yan asked, "You always asked me to blow-dry your hair after you showered before, why don't you ask today?"

In short, it struck Shen Ting's very soul.

She had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

Shi Yan picked up the hairdryer, skillfully lifted a strand of her long hair, and gently blew it with hot air.

Shen Ting glanced up and could see his prominent Adam's apple.

And when she raised her arm, the distinct muscle lines were visible beneath the hem of her clothes.

She swallowed.

With such a great physique and such a handsome face, isn't he just trying to seduce her by loitering around at home all day?

Unfortunately, this man has such conservative views that she can't get a taste for him!

Shi Yan gently stroked the top of her head with his long, slender fingers.

Occasionally, he would glance down and catch a glimpse of her fixed gaze, and his fingers would pause.

"you……"

Should we do it later?

Just as he was about to ask the question, he suddenly remembered that Shen Ting seemed unhappy when he asked this question last time.

Moreover, she has lost her former enthusiasm for this these days.

If she really doesn't want to do it, asking might upset her.

Shi Yan thought for a moment, his expression darkening, and he didn't speak again.

After drying his hair, he casually placed the small box next to Shen Ting's pillow.

After Shen Ting finished washing up and lay down on the bed, she immediately saw this thing.

Shen Ting: !!!

She froze, then quickly threw the small box onto the table.

She also felt that it was too obvious to see on the table, and if Shi Yan took it as a hint, it would be hard to explain.

So she reluctantly got out of bed, looked left and right, and finally had no choice but to put it under her pillow.

She lay in bed for a full five minutes, unable to calm her mind.

It felt as if something terrifying was hidden under the pillow.

Shen Ting secretly glanced at Shi Yan, who was lying on the sofa.

Seeing that he had his eyes lightly closed and seemed not to have noticed her movements, she breathed a sigh of relief and turned to scroll through Douyin (TikTok) on her own.

About ten minutes later, Shi Yan turned over and picked up his phone.

He asked Doubao: "My girlfriend, who used to be so clingy and eager to have sex, has suddenly become unenthusiastic and even threw her condom aside and put it under her pillow. What does that mean?"

[Doubao: I'm going to tell you in the most straightforward, honest, and direct way: Your girlfriend is no longer interested in your body!]

[Shi Yan: ...]

[Doubao: Do ​​you not work out often? And have you been eating a lot of oily food lately?]

Shi Yan frowned, thought about it, and it seemed that was indeed the case.

[Doubao: Then you must be a guy who's a bit overweight, short, and not very attractive...]

Before the message could finish displaying, Shi Yan quickly typed to interrupt: 【No.】

[Doubao: Okay, okay, then I'll give you the most straightforward, honest, and direct answer.]

[Doubao: You lack attractiveness; you need to wear more revealing clothes to seduce her.]

Explicit? Seduction?

Shi Yan opened Taobao thoughtfully and searched using these two words.

The next second, the loading of product pages made him instantly shut down his phone, his heart racing.

What... is all of this?

Does he really want to wear this kind of clothing and flaunt it in front of Shen Ting?

*

As soon as Shen Ting woke up, she received a text message saying that she had passed the teacher qualification exam.

But she is not allowed to prepare for the civil service exam.

The process of taking the civil service exam is too long; by the time she gets the job, she'll have already been eliminated by the times. So she needs to find a school with lower requirements to apply to as soon as possible.

Shen Ting lay in bed and sent out job applications to each school one by one.

After she finished eating, a school accepted her job application and asked her to come to the school for an interview at 2:30 pm.

When I arrived at the school, there were twenty people standing densely packed outside the interview room.

Some people, fresh from an interview, would complain to their friends, looking dejected, about how they hadn't performed naturally or had forgotten their lines.

Some were full of confidence, feeling that they would definitely pass.

Most of them were recent college graduates, their eyes revealing a clear innocence.

Looking at them, Shen Ting couldn't help but recall the exhausted look she had when she taught for four years.

She used to vow with great ambition that if she could do it all over again, she would never become a teacher again.

She never expected that she would actually have the chance to choose her life again, but she still followed the same old path.

"Next, Shen Ting!"

A teacher wearing glasses called out from inside the classroom.

Shen Ting quickly composed herself and went inside to begin her lecture.

She delivered her lecture with ease, completely outshining the previous interviewees who stammered and stuttered.

The head of the teaching department immediately asked her some simple questions, which Shen Ting answered truthfully.

"Okay, you've passed the interview."

The head of teaching said, "This week, you'll go to the third grade to familiarize yourself with the teaching environment. Once it's confirmed that you can start teaching next week, I'll assign you specific subjects and classes."

"Our school has a shortage of teachers. One teacher may have to teach four or five classes, and you need to pass the exam to become a tenured teacher within two years of starting work. Can you accept that?"

Shen Ting nodded. She had experienced these situations before and was used to them.

"Okay, then go to the third-year A group office now and find the group leader to assign the next task."

Shen Ting replied with a thank you and turned to go to her office.

The students were still in class, and there was only a middle-aged woman in her forties in the office.

Upon seeing this new face, the woman adjusted her glasses: "Who are you looking for?"

Shen listened to the explanation of his purpose.

The woman glanced at her phone again, and only after confirming that the head teacher had indeed said so did she look up at her.

"Your name is Shen Ting?" she asked. "Welcome, Teacher Shen. I'm the group leader of Group 3A. You can just call me Teacher Liang."

Shen Ting hummed in agreement and politely greeted him.

Just as I was about to find a place to sit down, Liang Jie asked, "Where do you live? It must be tiring coming all this way?"

Some veteran teachers like to inquire about the background of their new colleagues.

In her past life, she truthfully answered that she came from an ordinary family. After the other party realized that she had no power or influence, they stopped being enthusiastic and dumped all sorts of chores on her.

Now she's gotten a bit smarter and is giving the question a vague and ambiguous answer.

"It's not hard work, my home isn't far from here."

"You..." Liang Jie wanted to ask again.

Shen interrupted, "Team Leader Liang, I'm new here and not familiar with the school. I'd appreciate it if you could assign me some teaching tasks. I'll bring you some tea tomorrow to soothe your throat."

Her tone was distant yet confident.

Liang Jie glanced at her, then didn't ask any more questions, but the disdain in her eyes was gone.

"Xiao Shen, you're too kind."

With a forced smile, Liang Jie took a notebook out of the drawer. "These are the grade sheets for the classes that 3A will be teaching. You can take a quick look at them first."

Just as Shen Ting took it, the office door was pushed open.

Qi Lu walked in carrying books.

Upon seeing Shen Ting, he widened his eyes in surprise: "Shen Ting? What are you doing here?"

Shen Ting:

Qi Lu laughed and said, "Looks like you still haven't given up on me. You even followed me to school to pursue me."

Shen Ting: ...?

Should she not have been so eager to succeed and chosen this school?

Qi Lu thought she was shy because she didn't speak.

"Since you're so deeply in love with me, I'll allow you to continue pursuing me!"

Shen Ting: ...

She didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, and said rather speechlessly, "Let's go, let's talk outside."

The two walked out one after the other.

Shen Ting patiently explained, "I don't remember who you are anymore. I just want to teach to earn a living. Please, don't be so overconfident, okay?"

Qi Lu wasn't annoyed by this and shrugged: "I still have classes to attend. If you want to ask me out for dinner, wait for me here after school."

Shen Ting rolled her eyes, speechless.

Turning back to her office, Liang Jie, holding a teacup, glanced at her.

"Do you two know each other?"

Shen Ting: "I don't know him."

"It's okay, you'll get to know each other soon."

Liang Jie gave a polite smile, "Why don't you first get to know the class with Teacher Qi, and then help him correct his homework?"

Shen Ting: "..."

Is it too late for her to go for interviews at other schools now?
