The next morning, Lin Weiwei was folding up the bedding. The wound wasn't big; it was just a superficial injury to her. As she was tidying up her clothes, she held the black tie in her hand. It was dirty, so she thought she'd wash it and return it to her.
As soon as she opened the door, the corridor leading to the medical room was filled with balloons. If you accidentally popped one, it would burst open with colorful sticky notes inside, each containing a message of love and affection.
First picture: The road ahead is long, but I'm willing to support you.
Second picture: Did you smile today? But I smiled as soon as I saw you.
...
She walked in that direction and came to the school's music room. He was playing the piano, Canon in D, a piece by a musician. The sweet rhythm sounded refreshing and invigorating. His index finger moved nimbly across the keys, and his slender fingers and fair, delicate skin were truly beautiful.
He placed her hands on the piano keys and taught her to play little by little. Each melody was rhythmic, and he poured all his emotions into it. The microphone in front of him perfectly broadcast the music to every corner of the campus.
“Weiwei, we…”
"Let's be together," Lin Weiwei shrank back, and the two of them answered each other in unison.
He smiled broadly, and a tacit understanding was reached. He carefully placed his hand on the back of hers, and their hands clasped together. This was her happiest moment. As the prophetic rabbit said, being with someone makes you happy, and life is short, so please treat yourself well.
Moreover, this news caused a sensation on campus, like an explosion. A teacher and a student dating, a young girl with an older man—people who seem to have nothing in common.
"No way? Boss really fell in love with that old man?"
"Impossible, it must be an illusion. Where is Xiao Se?" Ma Fei cursed as he looked at the sofa that had been sawed in half in the classroom.
Meanwhile, because the loudspeaker microphone was still on, the whole school knew that the two were dating and the current principal had found out, so he called them to his office. He took out Li Yao's file from the classroom archives, along with Lin Weiwei's student file. Both were excellent students; which one should be expelled? Expelling Li Yao would mean losing a teacher, while expelling Lin Weiwei, a prominent figure in the school, would definitely cause resentment among many students. Besides, he'd heard that the students in Preparatory Class 7 were very united—a difficult situation indeed.
“If I have to fire someone, I can leave. To be honest, the salary for teaching is less than a fraction of what I earn from research. I applied for the teaching position because of her. The best teacher isn’t me, but…” Li Yao pushed Lin Weiwei forward to face the principal who wore reading glasses.
"Me? I'm just an ordinary college student with many books to read and a lot to explore in this new world."
This recommendation left her somewhat bewildered, and the noble profession of teaching requires someone like Teacher Luoluo; thinking about it made her miss her. When did she become so sentimental? Her nose tingled.
"I didn't say anyone had to be expelled. It's just that our school is a scholarly institution, and we don't have such an open approach to dating. So, have you considered transferring?"
Transferring schools? That's impossible. She will never leave Preparatory Class 7, because a family is only complete with everyone.
Li Yao, after putting down his teacher's certificate and employee ID, took her hand and ran towards the door. They played and frolicked in the corridor, one after the other, which was the envy of everyone.
She stepped forward and grabbed his neck, as if it were all a dream. "You know what? Li Yao, from the moment I saw you, I felt so familiar with you because you look so much like Dr. Li Quanxi. He is my idol. Mercury can't do without him. I've discovered so many shining qualities in you. How can you be so perfect?"
"Really? Then Vivi, can you tell me the secret inside your bodies? It's here! Here!"
Listening to her words, Li Yao felt as if he had received important information. It turned out that Li Quanxi was indeed an Earthling. However, he was most interested in studying why the Mercurians, whose physical structure was not much different from ordinary humans, possessed innate talents, strong physiques, and highly developed minds from birth. He teasingly poked at her ticklish spots, making her giggle.
"Mmm, don't touch there, it hurt last night."
The "last night" she was referring to was when they were together, his unbridled plundering and conquering, the tearing pain, so impatient that he forgot her feelings, because he is usually a gentle person.
Li Yao placed his hand on her forehead. He had received an urgent confidential letter last night that required a reply. Such a top-secret document forced him to leave, so was she running a fever? Or had she been hit somewhere and hurt?
"Okay, I'm not going to bother you anymore. Go to class now. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy too."
After receiving affirmation, there's still plenty of time ahead. She'll get used to it eventually. Right now, she doesn't know how to talk about it. Although she's played the role of a lover before, when it's her turn, she doesn't know what to say or do, or what to say. In any case, coming to Earth has been worthwhile.
Li Yao patted her head, picked up his car keys, and headed to the parking lot. He took the elevator on the basement level, and as soon as the elevator doors opened, a familiar face was waiting outside.
Why are you men so infatuated with her?
"Shh, it seems you haven't improved at all. What did I tell you? A woman must be reserved and not give herself away too early. A woman who can say no is the most beautiful."
Li Yao grunted and opened the back door. The door popped open automatically, and Han Han got in without a word, looking displeased. She hadn't been able to return to school for the past few days, and he'd initially thought he'd infiltrated the school to pave the way for her, but it turned out he was with Lin Weiwei. Lin Weiwei was a bald girl, yet men still chased after her; those bastards without parents were so popular.
"I don't care, you're the one who told me to pounce on Xiao Se. Now that your love is settled, isn't it time to give my heart back?"
"You don't really think I like Lin Weiwei, do you? I'm just interested in her body. Research has found that her saliva contains immune components that can resist all viruses. It's the purest body in the world."
He had a severe case of mysophobia, so he had a unique fondness for the purest things in the world. If this immunity were combined with the gift of immortality, wouldn't that mean he could live forever? The experiment seemed to be getting more and more interesting. He floored the gas pedal, learned the truth with a sense of pleasure, and then tugged at his collar, only to find that something was missing.
Li Yao's tie was in her pocket; it was pure black with soft, bluish silk, probably a high-quality fabric. It was a bit too plain; it would have looked even better if it had been embroidered with something.
