Chapter 189: The High School Homeroom Teacher

After building snowmen with the mother and daughter in the community square in the morning, it was already 3 PM.

Shen Lang drove to his company under renovation to check the progress.

It was Monday and the weather was awful with heavy snowfall.

Cars were driving cautiously to avoid skidding or rear-ending each other.

Shen Lang's car hadn't gone far when it got stuck in traffic along with other vehicles.

Several cars had collided ahead, and the traffic police and car owners were handling the scene.

Dozens of cars piled up on the road, resembling the jammed highways during Chinese New Year travel season.

In such situations, the usually unremarkable electric scooters became incredibly convenient.

On the non-motorized lane, electric scooters with makeshift weather canopies zipped past.

Their riders bore expressions of smug satisfaction, glad to have avoided the traffic mess.

With nothing else to do, Shen Lang, like other drivers, either scrolled through his phone or admired the snowy scenery outside.

As someone juggling multiple relationships, Shen Lang avoided excessive phone use unless chatting with his girlfriends.

Instead, he rolled down the window, watching electric scooters with canopies pass by.

Shen Lang had never dared to install such canopies before. While they provided shade and rain protection, a strong gust of wind could flip the scooter over.

Many scooter accidents were caused by these devices.

While Shen Lang was lost in thought, a scooter on the non-motorized lane slipped.

Its female rider, wearing a safety helmet, fell along with her scooter, scattering her belongings everywhere.

The sound caught the attention of the bored drivers, who all rolled down their windows to watch.

As the woman struggled to her feet, the drivers were taken aback.

She wore a light white office suit paired with a black skirt and sheer black stockings that highlighted her long, shapely legs.

Her stockings were torn in several places from the fall, making her even more eye-catching to the onlookers.

Shen Lang was also admiring the woman's legs when she removed her helmet, revealing a mature yet exasperated oval face framed by wind-blown black hair.

Shen Lang was stunned—it was his high school homeroom teacher, Chen Xiuning!

To confirm, he activated his "Divine Vision" ability:

- **Name:** Chen Xiuning

- **Age:** 31

- **Appearance Score:** 8.8

"Holy crap, it really is my homeroom teacher!" Shen Lang exclaimed.

He didn't expect to run into his former teacher here.

Shen Lang had recognized her instantly because of how much trouble she gave him in high school.

Back then, Shen Lang had decent grades and could've easily been admitted to a good university with some effort.

However, he got addicted to online novels, causing his grades to plummet.

Chen Xiuning, unwilling to see him ruin his future, constantly picked on him—calling his parents, confiscating his phone, or scolding him in the hallway in front of other students.

Though she was under 170 cm tall, she often left Shen Lang, over 180 cm, red-faced and unable to lift his head during her lectures.

Fearing her wrath, Shen Lang avoided her at all costs, which pushed him to improve his grades and get into Zhuhai University.

Looking back, Shen Lang realized that her strictness came from genuine care for her students. Otherwise, she could've ignored him and still earned her salary.

On the non-motorized lane, electric scooters zipped by without anyone stopping to help Chen Xiuning pick up her belongings.

Her leg seemed injured, forcing her to hop around awkwardly in torn stockings to gather her things—a sight that was both pitiable and amusing.

Shen Lang glanced at the traffic ahead. The police had almost cleared the accident scene, and drivers were returning to their cars.

Recalling her tough but kind demeanor, Shen Lang smiled wryly and walked over to help. He picked up a stainless steel thermos and handed it to her.

> **[Ding! Chen Xiuning's favorability towards the host increased by 1 point, now at 2. Keep it up!]**

"Thank you," Chen Xiuning said with a grateful smile as she tucked her messy hair behind her ear. She studied Shen Lang closely.

"Have we met before?"

"Ms. Chen, it's me, Shen Lang," he replied, mimicking binoculars—a gesture he used to make in class.

"Shen Lang... Oh, it's you!" she exclaimed, breaking into laughter as she looked him up and down.

"You've changed so much. I almost didn't recognize you without your glasses!"

"Still as charming as ever, Ms. Chen," Shen Lang grinned.

"Promise me you won't share this embarrassing incident in our alumni group," she said playfully, shielding her torn stockings with mock sternness.

Her tone had a hint of coquettishness.

- **1:** Compliment her: "Of course not! By the way, you're still as stunning as ever. Are you still teaching high school?"

- **2:** Tease her: "Haha, don't worry, Ms. Chen. Let's pick up the rest quickly—it's dangerous here."

- **3:** Joke threateningly: "Haha, Ms. Chen, you still look amazing. You wouldn't want anyone to find out about those torn stockings, would you?"
