My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

"It's alright, I've been reading a lot lately."

In reality, Lin Mo didn't take the final exams seriously at all.

"That's good. If there's anything you don't understand, you should ask the teacher. You've been on leave for too long before."

Tian Jingxiang gave him earnest instructions, and Lin Mo nodded.

The two figures gradually shrank in the snow until they were just two black dots.

Chapter 109 Arriving a Step Too Late

Tian Jingxiang hadn't walked home in a long time. She was used to being picked up and dropped off by car, and suddenly she felt a little uncomfortable, even if it was only for a short 25 minutes.

A 5-minute drive plus a 5-minute parking session turned a 10-minute journey into a 45-minute one. For Mr. Xiaotian, who doesn't like exercise, this is a significant change.

Fortunately, the surrounding snowy scenery helped alleviate her gloomy mood.

The dim yellow light from the streetlights shone on the snow-covered buildings, suddenly adding a touch of dreamlike quality to reality.

"It's been a long time since we've had such heavy snow."

Tian Jingxiang sighed, saying that chatting with Lin Mo about her studies had made her feel much better.

She's the kind of person who enjoys teaching and finds joy and satisfaction in it.

"Yes, it's been many years since Weicheng has seen such heavy snow."

In Lin Mo's memory, when her parents were still alive, there was a time when Weicheng had a heavy snowfall, and the family built a snowman and had a snowball fight in the courtyard of their apartment complex.

She noticed a faint trace of sadness in Lin Mo's eyes.

Tian Jingxiang patted Lin Mo on the shoulder, "Teacher noticed that you seem to have grown a little taller, and your health has improved a lot."

"I've been exercising lately."

Lin Mo casually told a lie.

……

After being lectured by Lao Wei for the entire afternoon, Li Qi and Xia Luoluo were finally released from the office, and like two wild dogs without leashes, they began to run wild.

The two ran all the way from the office back to the classroom, each carrying their own backpack. The students on duty had all left earlier than them.

"Do you really want to pursue Ms. Oda?"

Charlotte asked curiously.

"Yes, that's right. Do you have any good ideas?"

Li Qi openly admitted his wolfish ambitions and even earnestly questioned his strategist Xia Luoluo.

Xia Luoluo was not surprised at all; she had always admired forbidden love.

For example, Brokeback Mountain, Wild Lily, older woman/younger man relationship, stepmother story, teacher-student relationship.

She stroked her chin, thought for a moment, and said, "You two are in a teacher-student relationship now, so your positions are not equal. If you're not equal, where does love come from?"

"What should I do? Should I drop out of school?"

Li Qi thought this might be a good idea.

"No, in Ms. Xiaotian's eyes, we are all children, all younger than her. Being younger to a certain extent also means being weak. In her eyes, she is strong and we are weak, so the strong will not fall in love with the weak. You need to change this preconceived notion."

Xia Luoluo spoke with great conviction, and Li Qi listened with rapt attention.

"So you have to show her your strong side. What woman doesn't like a strong man?"

Xia Luoluo blinked.

Li Qi nodded repeatedly, already having thought of a way to demonstrate his immense power.

"Hero saves the damsel in distress?"

The two hit it off.

"That's right, it's the hero saving the damsel in distress. It's a cliché, but women love it."

Xia Luoluo reached out and gave Li Qi a big thumbs up, "And you have to act fast. Teacher Xiaotian has so many suitors, they'll all realize it in a while, and then you, as her student, will have no chance."

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it right away."

Li Qi made one phone call, and his basketball teammates all expressed their willingness to help.

Li Qi's good habit is to act on his ideas without delay.

Today he will be waiting in front of the Dilin residential area for Teacher Tian.

The basketball team has a total of 8 members, including substitutes, and each of them is a tall and strong man.

They put on hats and masks, donned coats, and lay in ambush near the residential area, waiting for Teacher Xiaotian to appear.

It was quite a coincidence that they had just played a match against the students from No. 13 Middle School today. Li Qi was unable to participate because he was reprimanded by Lao Wei. No. 13 Middle School is right next to Dilin Community, so they could reach their destination as quickly as possible.

Persistence pays off. After only 5 minutes, we saw Ms. Xiaotian, who was wearing a white wool coat, gold-rimmed glasses, and had a pretty face.

There was another person next to her, who was only 1.78 meters tall and looked very weak.

The shortest member of the basketball team is over 1.8 meters tall, so how could they be afraid of a short guy?

"Doesn't that guy look familiar?"

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

"Is he a suitor?"

Lin Mo could hear the conversation of the group clearly.

Unfortunately, none of them mentioned Li Qi, otherwise Lin Mo wouldn't have attacked them later.

A group of people rushed out and surrounded Tian Jingxiang and Lin Mo.

"Hey chick, wanna have a couple of drinks with your brother at the bar?"

The moment the basketball team captain opened his mouth, you could tell he'd watched a lot of prime-time dramas.

"what?"

Tian Jingxiang pointed to herself, "Are you calling me?"

But she soon spotted several large men who seemed to have ill intentions.

Because she doesn't like sports, she usually doesn't pay much attention to the school basketball team. Plus, with them wearing hats, masks, and scarves, she couldn't recognize them at all.

Lin Mo only felt that they looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't immediately recall who these guys were.

"Yeah, come have a drink with our big brother and hang out with us."

Actor number 2, the basketball substitute, spoke up.

Actor #3, trying to add drama to his role, said to Lin Mo, "Kid, this is none of your business. If you don't want to get beaten up, get lost."

Tian Jingxiang frowned. "We have security guards in our community. I can call them now and they'll come right away. Don't be so arrogant."

"Oh? Then go ahead and yell. Do you think one security guard can beat eight of us?"

The captain confidently stated that he had never lost a fight, and his act of pretending to be a delinquent was practically a natural performance.

"Haha, beautiful lady, what are you afraid of? We're not going to eat you."

Actor #4 said in a slightly flippant manner, and then made a move, at least to touch the female target's smooth face, so that it would feel more realistic.

Snapped.

Lin Mo pried his hand away.

Tian Jingxiang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Mo: "You go home first, the teacher is fine, we'll be at the neighborhood soon."

At this moment, Li Qi, who had received the text message, was already riding his bicycle and rushing to the scene.

Damn it, at least wait until I get there before you start, Ms. Xiaotian, you have to hang in there!

Li Qi cursed under his breath, strained his muscles, and pedaled his bicycle furiously, estimating that it would take him about 10 minutes to reach the scene.

Every member of the basketball team has a passion for performing.

A high school student who doesn't aspire to be a movie star can't play basketball well!

"Hey beautiful, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Beautiful lady, do you have money?"

"Beautiful lady, do you have some time?"

They made flippant and trashy remarks, making Tian Jingxiang realize that she had encountered thugs.

The actor with the fourth hand, whose hand had just been slapped by Lin Mo, was swollen: "Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

He shook his hand and glared fiercely at Lin Mo.

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now, or I might just make you cry."

The basketball team captain made some harsh remarks to Lin Mo.

Ms. Xiaotian didn't want Lin Mo to get involved in such a bad incident, so she took out her phone to call the police, but the basketball captain snatched the phone away from her.

"This phone is nice, it's an Apple. Shall I give it to my brother to play with?"

Give it back to me.

Ms. Oda's face was dark, but her legs had already begun to tremble involuntarily.

This was the first time she had ever encountered bad behavior in her life.

Lin Mo stood in front of Ms. Tian. His 1.78-meter height suddenly seemed incredibly tall, protecting Tian Jingxiang behind him.

Chapter 110 Classical Love Letters

When Li Qi arrived at the scene, panting, he saw Lin Mo easily defeat eight burly men from the basketball team.

His movements were stylish, crisp, and clean, without any feints.

Tian Jingxiang was stunned.

She never imagined Lin Mo could fight so well. The person who used to be out of breath just climbing a school building had become so powerful today.
