Chapter18

After class, Chen Tianming hurried to the principal's office. There was a phone there he could use without paying, so he often went there to make calls.

As soon as he entered, he saw Principal Li flirting with the school's librarian, Fan Wenting.

Fan Wenting, known as Sister Ting to the teachers, was in her early thirties and quite promiscuous. (Of course, this wasn't Chen Tianming's opinion but that of some self-proclaimed righteous people in the school.) It was said that her husband was an honest man, which gave her the freedom to flirt around, always having something to say to any man she encountered. Logic would suggest that such a woman wouldn't be attractive, but on the contrary, Sister Ting was quite beautiful, considered a true beauty.

"Hello, Principal," Chen Tianming called out loudly.

"What do you want?" Principal Li asked irritably. He had been enjoying his conversation with Fan Wenting, only to be interrupted by this "bright light bulb"—and an attractive one at that.

"I'd like to borrow the phone," Chen Tianming said with a smile, knowing this was not the time to offend the principal.

"Don't you have a mobile phone? Why are you always using the office phone?"

"My phone ran out of battery." Even though Chen Tianming disapproved of Fan Wenting, he wouldn't admit to any pettiness.

Ignoring Principal Li, Chen Tianming picked up the phone and started dialing.

Principal Li, who had been sharing dirty jokes with Fan Wenting, fell silent as Chen Tianming made his call. He had no choice but to pick up a book and pretend to read.

After finishing his call, Chen Tianming put the receiver down.

"Chen Tianming, don't you have any pride? Using the office phone all the time—how much does it cost to use your own phone?" Principal Li criticized, trying to belittle Chen Tianming in front of the beauty.

Angered by the principal's words, Chen Tianming picked up the receiver again and dialed Principal Li's home number.

"Hello?" came the voice of the principal's fierce wife.

Chen Tianming deliberately tilted the receiver away and then said to Principal Li, "Of course, I can't compare to you, Principal Li. You're the most charming man in our school, right? Sister Ting, don't you agree?"

Seeing Fan Wenting nod, Principal Li became even more pleased. "Of course, even though I'm not particularly handsome, I have a lot of charisma. Chen Tianming, do you know what charisma is? It's like those British gentlemen."

"Sigh, Principal Li, how can I have your charm? If I did, Sister Ting would like me, not you." Chen Tianming said loudly, hoping Principal Li's fierce wife would hear.

"Sister Ting likes me?" Principal Li's eyes lit up. "Chen Tianming, you can't just make baseless claims!" he said, glancing at Fan Wenting's ample bosom.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Ting yourself," Chen Tianming said, also looking at Fan Wenting.

"A man like Principal Li is naturally the type women adore," Fan Wenting replied cautiously. She couldn't offend the principal since her job depended on him.

"Really? Really?" Principal Li grinned lecherously. If Chen Tianming weren't there, he would have lunged at Fan Wenting; his wife at home was old and ugly, unlike the charming beauty in front of him.

"Ring, ring, ring," Principal Li's phone rang.

"Hello," Principal Li answered.

"Li Chun, you bastard," came the voice of his fierce wife.

Chen Tianming, seeing his scheme succeed, happily walked out.

Fan Wenting, hearing Principal Li's wife's voice, quickly followed Chen Tianming out.

"Tianming, come over here, I need to talk to you," Fan Wenting called out.

Chen Tianming followed Fan Wenting to the school library.

The library was on the first floor of the teaching building, unlike the vast libraries of universities, and was just a room filled with books.

"Sister Ting, what do you need?" Chen Tianming asked, staring at her chest. Lately, ever since practicing the Xiangbo Technique, he felt more and more aroused.

"Tianming, help me place these books on the top shelf. It's too high, and I'm afraid of falling," Fan Wenting said, smiling satisfactorily at Chen Tianming's lecherous look.

"Oh, okay." Chen Tianming nodded, took the books from Fan Wenting, and climbed the step ladder to arrange them on the top shelf.

"Sigh, it's so hot. I'm sweating all over," Fan Wenting exclaimed.

"Sweating all over?" Chen Tianming's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively looked down to check.

Seeing him look down, Fan Wenting sighed softly and placed her hand at her collar.

"In this weather, if you don't wipe off the sweat, you'll catch a cold. Better wipe it off now," Chen Tianming thought excitedly.

Sure enough, Fan Wenting unbuttoned a button at her collar.

"Tianming, have you finished arranging the books?" Fan Wenting suddenly asked.

"No, I haven't seen enough yet!" Chen Tianming replied, still looking.

"What?"

"Oh, finished, finished." Chen Tianming reluctantly climbed down the ladder.
