Financial Independence through Cracked Apps-Chapter 163 - 135: Is Senior There?

"Should we wait until we get back?"

"Right here."

The usually gentle Jiang Wan clung relentlessly to Lin Shen’s arm, resting her delicate chin on his shoulder. She deliberately puffed out her chest, rubbing against him again and again as a provocative smile graced her lips.

"What, you don’t dare?"

"Who says I don’t?"

As a man, Lin Shen was a sucker for being goaded. He immediately lowered his head and captured Jiang Wan’s slightly parted red lips.

The sunset elongated their shadows, etching a romantic memory that was theirs alone into this scene overflowing with youth.

It was such a beautiful moment that Jiang Wan wanted to savor it forever. Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest.

This made her even bolder, and she pressed her entire body into Lin Shen’s embrace.

It wasn’t until he steadied her toppling upper body that she finally came to her senses.

"Jiang Wan, you were getting a little too into that."

Lin Shen chuckled, lowering his head to place a light kiss on Jiang Wan’s small earlobe.

"Look around."

?

Jiang Wan’s hazy gaze swept over their surroundings. She found quite a few people staring at her and Lin Shen, their eyes filled with envy.

’Maybe they also yearn for this kind of Sweet high school romance?’

However, one person seemed to have an inkling of Jiang Wan’s true identity and approached to ask tentatively.

"Instructor?"

Hm?

Staring at the astonished young woman before her, Jiang Wan froze. A familiar name flashed through her mind, which then went completely blank.

’Lu Jie?’

’Why is she here?’

’I’m so screwed!’

Panic seized Jiang Wan.

’My own student saw me kissing Lin Shen!’

’And while wearing a high school uniform, of all things!’

Jiang Wan’s face instantly flushed as red as the evening sky. After a moment of panic, she managed to calm herself slightly, putting on her best teacher-like demeanor and clearing her throat.

"Lu Jie, what are you doing here?"

"I’m tutoring off-campus for the summer break, so I didn’t go back home."

Lu Jie stole a glance at Lin Shen, who still had his arm around Jiang Wan. She was momentarily dazzled by his strikingly handsome features, and after her heart gave a wild leap, she quickly averted her eyes and made to leave.

"Um... Instructor, you can get back to your... date. I’ll be going now!"

"Wait!"

Jiang Wan rushed after Lu Jie, grabbing her arm and speaking in a soft, gentle voice.

"Lu Jie, please remember not to tell anyone about today, okay? This will be our little secret."

"Okay, Instructor!"

"Good girl!"

Jiang Wan ruffled Lu Jie’s hair. After watching her leave, she immediately hurried back to Lin Shen, grabbed his hand, and started pulling him toward the school gate. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Hurry!"

"Jiang Wan, weren’t you being pretty bold just now?"

Seeing Jiang Wan so flustered for the first time, Lin Shen couldn’t help but grin.

"A moment ago, you didn’t care who was watching and were insisting on kissing me. Why are you running off now?"

"Lin Shen, you’re not behaving. Daring to tease me now, are you?"

Jiang Wan puffed out her cheeks and gave Lin Shen’s arm a symbolic little pinch. It was clearly without force, meant more as a warning.

She felt a bit helpless at the situation.

"Who knew I’d run into one of my students! Only a few of them didn’t go home for the summer, and I just had to run into one!"

"Maybe because the new semester is about to start?"

Just then, the image of a cute, charming girl flashed through Lin Shen’s mind, and he asked casually.

"Jiang Wan, have you been in contact with Gu Wanqing recently?"

"Of course we have."

At the mention of this, Jiang Wan’s lips curled into a mysterious smile.

"We’ve talked a lot, you know. And about you, too."

"About me?"

Lin Shen looked puzzled. Seeing Jiang Wan’s mischievous grin, his heart skipped a beat.

’It couldn’t be...’

"She’s not actually your sister, is she?"

Jiang Wan’s eyes curved into crescents. The more flustered Lin Shen looked, the more thrilled she felt.

"Calling your ex-girlfriend’s little sister your own sister... isn’t that a bit of a stretch?"

"Well..."

Lin Shen coughed, feeling so awkward he could have dug a hole in the floor with his toes.

"She came to see me, so I showed her around Modu for a bit. I was afraid you might get the wrong idea, so I told a little white lie."

"I know."

Jiang Wan’s eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint suddenly appearing within them.

"But, Lin Shen, don’t you go thinking about making a move on Qingqing."

"As if!"

Lin Shen quickly clarified his stance.

"She’s only eighteen, and I’m twenty-five! That’s a seven-year age gap. I’m not enough of a monster to do something like that."

"I know you wouldn’t do something like that, it’s just..."

A worried look crossed Jiang Wan’s face.

She had great faith in Lin Shen’s character and knew he would never cross that kind of moral line.

However, he might not, but that didn’t mean Gu Wanqing wouldn’t!

Jiang Wan had chatted quite a bit with her prospective student lately, and she’d picked up on a few things from her tone and choice of words.

’She seems to have a bit of a crush on Lin Shen!’

’This is a huge problem!’

Although plenty of couples dated from high school through college these days, Jiang Wan still held a conservative view on the matter.

She was all for pure and beautiful love, not for premature physical intimacy.

As an educator, she believed that couples getting physical too early could be extremely harmful to a young woman’s physical and mental well-being.

Therefore, she was filled with worry for Gu Wanqing.

She was terrified the girl would fall for Lin Shen and do something drastic.

After all, Jiang Wan knew Lin Shen all too well.

That guy’s weakness for pretty faces meant there was no way he’d be able to resist the temptation of a pretty young girl.
