Chapter 179 Onpharos 1-33 The Hero Saves the Beauty is...
The hero rescuing the damsel in distress is a tried-and-true plot device, but there are always some people who don't fall for it.
Xia had observed that He Yuan took other people's help for granted, and being kind to him didn't elicit any feelings from her.
Because he's been used to being helped since he was a child, a single glance or a single word from him can send countless people flying like moths to a flame.
What if it's the opposite?
Saving lives and receiving gratitude and rewards is an immediate positive feedback loop.
Unless Crane Kite has saved far too many people and become immune to this, this method is still somewhat useful.
Who knows, maybe He Yuan likes to be a "savior"?
Xia had won the gamble once, and wanted to gamble a second time.
When he saw He Yuan rush over and order his servants to arrest these people, he knew he had made the right choice again.
Compared to the feelings of "being rescued" and "being conquered" that He Yuan received from the other two people, the completely opposite feeling that Xia gave him was something that He Yuan had long lacked, yet something he had done before.
Whether you've done it before or not doesn't matter, as long as it's scarce.
At that moment, Xia let He Yuan touch her all over, and gently comforted her.
If the students of the Divine Enlightenment Tree Garden were to witness this scene, they would likely think that Professor Xia was possessed by something strange at that moment.
Such a gentle expression—such a mild tone—was that really something Xia could express at that moment?
To be honest, his only unusual liking for earth beasts is that he likes them, but it seems to be because of their family ties, so it's not particularly strange.
In short, Xia was extremely unusual at that moment.
He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xia was alright.
Fortunately, the system notification was timely. Because of the changes in Yingxing and Danfeng, he filled out the relevant questions in the questionnaire before the DLC was released.
No matter how attentive a player is, it's impossible to pay attention to their lover's feelings every single moment!
This game isn't just about romance; it has many other systems that players need to experience in depth.
Therefore, various numerical detection functions have been added to the new DLC.
Anyone who has engaged in intimate sexual activity can be linked to the detection system, and any fluctuations will be reported.
This is a bit troublesome, but it's still better than suddenly doing something completely different.
Once He Yuan was certain that Xia had only suffered a minor scratch, she instructed her servants to send her away so she wouldn't be an eyesore.
"Why would they come looking for trouble with you?" He Yuan asked curiously.
If I had known he was here today, it would have been easy for him to see me causing trouble for that Xia.
Xia then offered her prepared explanation: "Perhaps today is a rare day for me to go out."
“They were either doing research in the lab or going to Dawn Cloud Cliff to find you, but the round trip wasn’t worth the effort.”
He Yuan didn't pay much attention; they were just a few NPCs, probably a random event.
He took Naksha's hand and asked with a smile, "I saved you, how will Professor Anaxagoras reward me?"
Want to play teacher-student role-playing?
It seems that entertainment options for cranes and kites are scarce.
At the very least, he probably never played the role of a "student".
Xia Xinshen understood at that moment, and her hand naturally wrapped around He Yuan's waist. "Reward? The reward will be given after class. It's still class time now."
Their relationship wasn't Platonic; it needed the right touch of apricot to spice it up.
He Yuan blinked and asked, "Teacher, what are we going to learn now?"
Xia glanced at the time. "It's lunch break now. The teacher is about to eat. As a thank you, I'll treat you."
"Will it take up the reward?" The student leaned against the teacher's chest, pointing with his finger. "If it takes up the reward, I won't go."
Xia: Of course not.
He said in a suggestive tone, "After all, it was a life-saving favor; how can a meal repay it?"
You should offer yourself in return.
Crane and Kite became interested.
He had a "teacher-student play" before, but he was the teacher and the other person was the student, and then the student rebelled against the teacher.
He's never been a "student" before!
Whether you're being coaxed or going along with it, it all feels great!
However, things are now moving in the latter direction... We'll try the former another time when we have the chance!
He Yuan happily went to a restaurant with Na Ke Xia to have lunch in a private room.
The afternoon was just another routine work session. He Yuan handled it skillfully, received a perfect evaluation, and finished get off work on time to go home.
Xia also arrived just in time to pick him up, carrying a bag in her hand.
When He Yuan took her hand, she touched her bag and asked, "What did you put in there?"
Xia said succinctly: "Teaching aids and a reward for you."
Class time has already passed, who would still be using "teaching aids" so late at night?
Is this still a proper teaching aid?
Anyway, He Yuan doesn't believe it.
He gave a soft "Oh," and asked, "Is the teacher going to use them to teach me?"
She twirled a strand of black hair with her slender, white fingers. "But isn't it evening class time?"
Although Ohmma has 24-hour continuous daylight, this does not mean that the people of Ohmma do not need to sleep and rest.
When it's time to rest and sleep, no one would be so idle as to go to class.
At that moment, Xia stared at a patch of snow-white hair amidst the jet-black hair, her gaze shifting downwards to the priest's arm and collarbone, which were inadvertently revealed.
There are still traces and smells of others there.
After tonight, Xia will turn them all into her own mark, leaving a mark on He Yuan that neither of the other two could leave.
“Some courses are only suitable to be taught in the evening,” Xia said calmly.
He Yuan glanced at the heart rate.
You're not as calm as you seem, Professor Anaxagoras. You seem particularly excited.
This was the first time he experienced the most intuitive use of this feature.
Next time I'll test Bai'e and Wan'di; I wonder what their values are.
At that moment, Xia felt that He Yuan had figured out his thoughts.
The priest's face showed a knowing and sarcastic expression, completely unlike that of a "student".
But his acting skills are excellent, which makes up for it.
"At night? Like stargazing?" He Yuan asked, pretending not to understand.
Onpharos is a place for stargazing, but the location is in the Garden of Divine Enlightenment.
"Wouldn't it be too late for us to head to Tree Garden now?"
Xia said, "Tonight's lesson doesn't need the starry sky; it's just basic knowledge."
Crane Kite: "So that's how it is~ Professor Anaxagoras."
He sauntered up to me, "I'm really looking forward to the professor's class tonight. Do you need me to prepare?"
Xia's heart rate spiked at that moment, and He Yuan almost lost her composure when she saw the numbers.
"No need, I will break down the knowledge for tonight into small pieces and feed it to you slowly."
He Yuan asked playfully, "Will the professor go overtime?"
"I don't have work tomorrow morning, but I can't get up too late and miss breakfast."
"Won't."
Xia's tone was already a bit stiff at that moment, as if she were forcing a calm.
If he were a little more relaxed, he would probably spread his arms wide and laugh heartily, just like when his prediction was proven true.
Unfortunately, he has to be more reserved now.
He Yuan probably wouldn't mind him doing this, but for no apparent reason...
Perhaps Xia always wanted to maintain some semblance of an image in front of someone she liked.
Of course, if He Yuan likes him like this...
Xia would be very happy at that moment.
He's happy, but he won't force it; he'll test the waters slowly.
He Yuan continued to tease him, "I believe in the teacher's character and teaching ability, shall we go back?"
What is the teacher's moral character?
What kind of teacher-student relationship do they have?
Xia clicked her tongue inwardly at that moment.
If he truly considered He Yuan a student, he wouldn't have done that on their first night together.

Author's Note: I've read all your comments! Thank you all for your concern and encouragement! [Hugs]
I got a feel for the game today and practiced the outline. Tomorrow I'll aim for at least third place and strive for sixth.
So what if they lay off me? I can just go back to my parents' house and live off them.
Also, your subscriptions and comments are my greatest encouragement!
I haven't been working long, but I still have some savings, so I won't let everyone spend money. I'll do a physical prize draw in a few days to give back to everyone.
