"Teacher, are you shy?" The woman didn't let Jaxon off the hook. "Did you just think of something embarrassing?"
As she spoke, she stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips right in front of him, looking incredibly tempting.
Was this woman a mind reader? How did she know exactly what he was thinking?
Jaxon straightened his expression and said, "How could that be? Don't be ridiculous. Alright, class is about to start. If you haven't changed yet, hurry up and get ready. We need to start the lesson."
He adopted a serious teacher demeanor, and the girls, who had been uneasy just moments before, now subconsciously followed his instructions. After all, the woman's point earlier had been valid: when they went to the beach, they couldn't guarantee that only women would be there, could they?
Moreover, this male teacher was somewhat handsome, and the unique aura he exuded was quite attractive.
Finally, things returned to normal, and Jaxon breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Teaching a girls' swimming class was no easy job. It really tested one's mindset. Of course, amid the awkwardness, there was also a feast for the eyes. A group of young, beautiful girls showing off their graceful figures wasn't something everyone got to see.
As for teaching the swimming class, aside from a bit of awkwardness, Jaxon had no worries—he was more than capable.
The village elder had taught him a series of life skills, including swimming. Now, Jaxon possessed advanced swimming skills and master-level theoretical knowledge. He was confident he could teach these students, and even professional swimmers, if need be.
"Teacher, aren't you going to change?" The sexy woman in front of him asked.
"Me? No need. I won't be getting in the water. I'll just stand on the shore and watch," Jaxon replied.
Since he hadn't known about the swimming class assignment, Jaxon hadn't brought any swimming trunks. And besides, swimming in just swimming trunks in front of so many girls would be embarrassing.
"But that won't do. You're our teacher. You need to get in the water to demonstrate. How will we know if we're doing it right without a demonstration? Just talking won't help us much," she insisted.
Jaxon realized she had a point. No matter how much he explained, a live demonstration would always be more effective. Since he had already taken on the role of teacher, he wanted to do his best to teach them properly.
"But I didn't bring any swimming trunks," Jaxon protested.
"That's a minor issue," she said. "The school's mini supermarket sells them. Of course, if you're willing to swim in your underwear, we won't mind either."
Jaxon felt overwhelmed by her sly expression and the way her eyes lingered on him.
"Wait here!" he muttered before running out.
As he left, some of the bolder girls burst into laughter. Even those who had felt uncomfortable earlier now seemed less wary. They were starting to think the teacher was quite interesting.
The woman who had teased Jaxon seemed to be eyeing him with a more suggestive look.
When Jaxon returned with swimming trunks from the mini supermarket, all the girls had already changed into their swimsuits. Some were chatting, while others had already jumped into the water. When they saw him, all eyes turned toward him.
Though they had interacted briefly before, Jaxon still felt uneasy being the focus of so many girls' attention, especially now that they were all in swimsuits.
Just as he was about to change into his trunks, another problem arose: where could he change?
Since this was a girls' locker room, and even the teachers were female, there wasn't a men's locker room. Was he supposed to change in the women's locker room?
It seemed there was no other choice.
With this thought, Jaxon called out to Xiaoyun, "Hey, can you come here for a moment?"
Xiaoyun had been the first to stand up for him earlier, so although Jaxon didn't know her well, he had a good impression of her.
"Yes, teacher? What can I do for you?" she asked as she approached. Although she still thought of Jaxon as her good friend Lily's boyfriend, she respected him in his role as their teacher.
"Go check the locker room and see if anyone is still inside," Jaxon asked.
Xiaoyun immediately understood what Jaxon meant and nodded before heading to the locker room.
"Teacher, what's there to be afraid of? Just go in," the teasing woman from earlier said, sitting by the pool and splashing water with her feet, smiling at Jaxon.
Jaxon ignored her, realizing that this girl was very bold and talking to her was exhausting.
Soon, Xiaoyun came out of the locker room and shook her head at Jaxon. Relieved, he entered the locker room with his swimming trunks.
However, as soon as he stepped inside, he felt embarrassed again.
The locker room was indeed empty, but some of the girls' clothes had been left on the benches instead of put away in lockers. Jaxon even saw some sexy lingerie casually lying there.
"These girls are really careless," Jaxon muttered, struggling to avert his gaze before heading to the teacher's locker to change.
The teacher had a separate locker, so Jaxon didn't need to worry about where to put his things.
"Is it okay to go out like this?" After changing into his trunks, Jaxon hesitated.
After all, outside were a group of young, beautiful girls. Even though he had already told them they were just teacher and students, the age difference wasn't all that significant. Now, with him dressed this way, would it be inappropriate to appear in front of them?
"Teacher, are you still not changed? Need me to help you?" The teasing girl's voice came from outside the locker room again.
"Come on, it's not a big deal. Swimming instructors teach female students in this kind of attire all the time. What's there to be afraid of?" Jaxon reassured himself. Finally, he walked out of the locker room.
