Chapter 392: Chapter 0392: Let Me Sleep and I’ll Help You

Tang Ming, whose head had been hit, was completely unaware and slept as soundly and sweetly as could be.

The students couldn’t help but laugh when they saw this, especially Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, who took pleasure in the disaster and reminded Li Wenxuan that it would take a chalkboard eraser to wake Tang Ming up.

Zhou Dafu, who was closest to Tang Ming, quickly kicked at Tang Ming’s thigh, trying to wake him up.

"Damn it."

Li Wenxuan cursed under her breath and threw the chalkboard eraser at him.

"What are you doing?"

After being kicked a few times, Tang Ming groggily raised his head, and then...

"Bang!"

The chalkboard eraser hit Tang Ming’s face with precision, covering him in chalk dust.

Seeing this, Zhou Dafu and Chen Cang twitched at the corners of their mouths, thinking with horror:

"Ms. Li is too fierce, in the whole Songlan City, there probably isn’t a second person who could do this to Brother Ming."

The other students were laughing at Tang Ming, holding their bellies.

"See? Only the chalkboard eraser can wake him up, ah."

Li Xiaoli even jumped up, excitedly applauding non-stop.

"Ptooey, ptooey, what is this stuff?"

Tang Ming came to his senses, wiping his face while muttering doubtfully.

"The teacher is calling you!"

Zhou Dafu leaned on the desk and whispered a reminder.

"Good morning, teacher!" Tang Ming quickly stood up and saluted, as he still had great respect for teachers.

"Tang Ming, you slept through my entire class, isn’t that a bit too much?"

Li Wenxuan scolded with a stern face, but looking at Tang Ming’s face, which was like a painted cat, she felt a bit sorry.

"It’s not too bad, I mean, I got a perfect score in English, I don’t need to listen to the class anymore."

Tang Ming yawned, saying indifferently.

"You... you think just because you have good grades, you can do whatever you want?"

Li Wenxuan was left speechless by Tang Ming’s words, grinding her teeth she shouted, "After class, come with me to the office."

"What for, going there to sleep with you?"

A groggy Tang Ming instinctively asked.

Upon hearing this, the classroom was filled with shushing sounds, as everyone gave ambiguous glances at Tang Ming and Li Wenxuan.

"Tang Ming." Li Wenxuan also turned red all over, mainly because Tang Ming’s words were too ambiguous.

"I didn’t mean that, I meant that I want you to sleep in the office with me... no, that’s not right, that you watch me sleep... also not right..."

Tang Ming also realized he had said something wrong and tried to explain anxiously, ultimately saying helplessly, "Teacher, I’d rather sleep with my classmates in the classroom. I’m not used to sleeping in the office with you."

"Do you think you’re the principal? Think you can sleep wherever you want, with whoever you want?"

Li Wenxuan shouted angrily.

The whole class suddenly fell silent at these words...

"Hiss, can the principal really sleep wherever they want?"

Tang Ming perked up, asking curiously.

"I... class is dismissed now, come with me to the office immediately."

Li Wenxuan merely spoke off the cuff, not expecting to drag the principal into it, and quickly packed her teaching materials and headed outside.

"This is so frustrating; I was having such a nice dream and then got woken up."

Tang Ming sighed helplessly, following her out under the strange gazes of everyone.

In the office, Li Wenxuan sat in her chair, scolding Tang Ming top to toe. The main gist was that he couldn’t rely on his good grades to disrespect teachers and the classroom; he needed to act like the student with the top grades he was and set an example for other students. But then...

Tang Ming was so bored he nearly fell asleep standing up.

Just as Li Wenxuan was getting into her lecture, her phone suddenly rang.

After glancing at the caller ID, Li Wenxuan frowned, answered the call, and then began to converse quietly in English.

"This call couldn’t have come at a better time, finally some peace and quiet. I need to properly thank the person who called."

Tang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, feeling immensely grateful.

After hanging up, Li Wenxuan continued to patiently educate Tang Ming:

"Tang Ming, I know you are a good student, smart, but remember, ’Plum blossoms come from the bitter cold.’ You should diligently use your smarts and talents..."

"Stop right there," Tang Ming cut off Li Wenxuan, saying with a playful air:

"Rather than lecturing me here, perhaps you should think about how to handle tonight’s date with your admirer."

"You, you understood that?"

Li Wenxuan looked at Tang Ming in surprise, remembering that Tang’s English was perfect.

"Not bad, I got most of it. It seems someone is pursuing you, has asked you out many times, all rejected by you. Today he said it’s his birthday, you felt bad turning him down, so... you should dress nicely tonight. Knocking down the goddess on his birthday, what a strategy!"

Tang Ming said with a mischievous grin.

"Hmph." Li Wenxuan huffed, then started eyeing Tang Ming with a negative gaze.

"Cough cough, Teacher, please don’t look at me like that, I’m shy."

Tang Ming, feeling uneasy under her gaze, reminded her seriously.

"You know a foreign language, and you’re pretty good-looking too. If you dressed a bit more maturely, you would be a good candidate."

Li Wenxuan nodded her head again and again, muttering to herself.

"What candidate?" Tang Ming had a bad feeling about this.

"To be my boyfriend," Li Wenxuan said offhandedly.

"No way, no way, I do not agree to a teacher-student romance. You can’t abuse your authority just because you’re a teacher."

Tang Ming swiftly waved his hands, exclaiming with a resistant look, "I, Tang Ming, would rather die than submit."

"It’s a fake boyfriend. That overseas returnee has been annoying me for quite a while, so come with me to his birthday party, and he’ll give up afterwards," Li Wenxuan said earnestly:

"After school, I’ll go buy you a suit first, then you’ll come with me."

"Hey, hey, I haven’t agreed yet. Aren’t you being a bit too bossy?"

Tang Ming complained with dissatisfaction: "If you want me to go, there has to be a benefit for me, otherwise I won’t do it."

"What do you want as a benefit? I can help you with English exams in the future, okay?" Li Wenxuan slightly frowned; now that she needed something, she wasn’t as stern as before.

"Not interested, my English is perfect; I don’t need any help,"

Tang Ming yawned, utterly uninterested.

"Then I’ll give you money. Just name your price," Li Wenxuan asked insistently.

"Are you kidding? Do I look like I need money? I make fifty thousand a month now. How much is your salary?"

Tang Ming said peevishly.

"You... You make so much as a bodyguard?"

Li Wenxuan was taken aback, then continued to ask: "So what will it take for you to help me?"

"Hehe, just don’t bother me when I sleep during your class, and we’re good,"

Tang Ming stated his terms. Actually, he didn’t want to put Li Wenxuan in a tight spot; after all, acting as a shield seemed like it included free food and drinks, which to him was benefit enough.

Hearing this, Li Wenxuan’s face darkened. She had just finished lecturing Tang Ming about not sleeping in class, and now he had the nerve to lay out such a condition. How infuriating.
