“Huh? Punish me!”
Tang Hao was taken aback.
“That’s right! You have to be punished! This is outrageous!” Jiang Wanying lifted her chin and said sternly.
However, she was too beautiful, and even though her expression was stern, it was not intimidating at all. In fact, it had a unique charm.
It was June, and she was dressed casually in a miniskirt and a T-shirt.
Tang Hao glanced at her, and his face blushed with embarrassment.
Sensing his gaze, Jiang Wanying also blushed. Her stern expression earlier was totally gone.
“Where are you looking? I said I’m going to punish you!” Jiang Wanying said coyly.
“Oh! What’s the punishment?”Tang Hao said blankly.
“Detention! Come to my house this afternoon!” She said with mock anger.
“It’s settled then! I’m your teacher. You have to listen to me!”
She smiled mischievously, leaned over, put her arm around his neck, and kissed him.
She kissed him for a full half a minute, then heaved a sigh of relief when she looked outside and saw that no one was looking.
“One more kiss!”
After the second kiss, she stepped back and blushed.
“Remember your punishment!”
She winked at Tang Hao and smiled slyly. Then, she wiped the corners of her lips, resumed her serious expression, and walked out of the classroom.
Tang Hao was stunned for a long time as he looked at the graceful figure move into the distance. He came to his senses after she disappeared from view.
He quickly wiped his mouth and rushed to his next class.
After the afternoon class, Tang Hao parted ways with Cao Fei and the others. He exited the front gate and walked along the road for a while before a flashy BMW came from behind.
The car window rolled down, revealing a beautiful face.
“Get in the car!” Jiang Wanying waved at him.
Tang Hao opened the car door and got in. She immediately leaned over and kissed him. Then she smiled and said, “Now, let’s go to the wet market first! Let’s buy some ingredients and cook dinner together!”
She rolled up the car window, started the car, and sped away.
They went to the grocery store near her home and bought a lot of things.
When they got home, she went to take a shower. The sound of running water and her humming could be heard from the bathroom.
Twenty minutes later, she came out wrapped in a towel.
“My master chef! What are you cooking? It smells so good!”
She walked to Tang Hao’s back, stretched out her arms, and gently hugged him.
Tang Hao’s arms trembled, and he hurriedly said, “Don’t mess around. I’m cooking!”
“Oh! Then I won’t move! I’ll just stay like this, OK?” She smiled.
“As long as you don’t move!”
She hugged him like that and breathed in the scent of Tang Hao’s body.
“Tang Hao!” Suddenly, she shouted.
“Yes?”
“Are you going back tonight?”
“Mm!”
Tang Hao hesitated for a moment, but he nodded anyway.
“Oh!” She was a little disappointed.
“I can leave later!” Tang Hao said.
“OK!” She was happy again.
“Oh right, summer vacation is at the end of the month. Do you think you can come to River Delta City when you’re free? My parents mentioned you a few days ago. They said that they haven’t seen you for a long time and wanted to see you!
“Is that OK?” She pleaded.
“OK!” Tang Hao pondered for a moment and agreed.
River Delta City was not too far away, and it was not too troublesome to go there. Besides, it had been a long time since they last saw each other. The last time they met was during the New Year when Tang Hao went to River Delta City to deliver gifts.
Chapter 705 - : Number 9
“Great!”
Jiang Wanying cheered and tightened her hug around Tang Hao. She leaned close and kissed Tang Hao’s cheek.
Tang Hao felt awkward when she moved.
“Don’t move!” Tang Hao said quickly.
It was not easy for him to concentrate and finish the dish.
“I’m going to change my clothes. Wait for me!”
After saying that, she let go of her hands and went into her bedroom.
She came out a few minutes later, dressed in a nightgown. She twirled around and asked shyly, “Do I look good?”
Tang Hao looked up and was dumbfounded for a while.
“Yes!”
He answered in a daze.
She smiled and said happily, “It’s my first time wearing it. I bought it especially for you!”
As she spoke, she walked over and looked at the kitchen counter, “You’re done cooking? Let’s eat!” Then, she laid the dishes on the table before pulling Tang Hao to a chair.
“Let me tell you, you know Teacher Zhang in the university, right? She’s really annoying. She’s always criticizing me and even saying that I’m setting a bad example for driving an M4! How infuriating!
“She’s married to a useless husband, yet she’s jealous of others!”
She chatted about some trivial matters with Tang Hao over dinner.
Tang Hao smiled.
Jiang Wanying’s new car had indeed caused a sensation in the university. Many posts had appeared in the Tieba forum, and even the class was discussing it.
One had to know that Teacher Jiang was the most beautiful teacher at Z University. She was the dream lover for many male students, and she was extremely popular.
The boys would even discuss what clothes she wore, let alone driving a new car.
Many people guessed that Teacher Jiang found herself a rich boyfriend, and many male students had felt sorry for themselves. Later, they found out that Teacher Jiang’s family found themselves a fortune.
That also made Teacher Jiang even more popular than ever.
“You don’t have to bother about her!” Tang Hao said.
“I know! I’ve been ignoring her!”
After dinner, Tang Hao did the dishes. Then, Jiang Wanying pulled him over to the couch to watch TV.
She snuggled in Tang Hao’s arms and curled up.
From time to time, they would tease each other for a while.
Looking at the time, she smiled and said, “Alright, your detention ends here. You can go home now!”
She stood up and carefully tidied Tang Hao’s clothes.
“Remember! You promised to come to River Delta City during the summer vacation!”
After seeing Tang Hao off, she leaned against the door and stood there for a long time.
Suddenly, she touched her lips and smiled sweetly.
She did not ask for too much from him. She would be content if she got to meet him once in a while and share a moment of intimacy.
After all, they were teacher and student. Such a relationship could not be made public.
As for what would happen in the future, she did not want to think about it.
The future was too far away…
After standing there for a long time, she closed the door, curled up on the couch, and hugged the cushion tightly.
The cushion carried a faint scent of plants. It was his body scent.
She lay there and slowly closed her eyes. After receiving his text message, she felt at ease and went back to her bedroom.
“Good Night!”
After saying good night to each other, she put down her phone and went to sleep peacefully.
On the other side, Tang Hao was curled up on the couch. He looked at the message on his phone and chuckled.
After browsing the Internet for a while, he sat up and took out the medicinal herbs he got from the auction yesterday. He carefully identified each medicinal herb and labeled each stalk with its name.
Then, he organized them into categories.
The process
took him a long time.
There were millions of medicinal herbs in the world. Even if he memorized the Scripture of the Divine Herbalist, some of them were not so easy to identify.
After identifying all of them and confirming their effects, he began to sort the medicinal herbs according to each pill recipe.
Every time a recipe was complete, Tang Hao became a little more excited.
By about four o’clock in the morning, he finished sorting all the herbs. He took out several portions of herbs and began to make pills.
When the sun rose, he had finished making several pills. He picked up his backpack and went to class.
In the afternoon, he received a call from Tamamo.
“My dear little brother! Do you miss me?”
Her gentle and charming voice came over the phone. It was extremely attractive.
Tang Hao coughed lightly.
She smiled coyly. “I’ve missed you…”
“Are you in Huaxia?” Tang Hao said.
“No, I wanted to go, but I don’t dare to go now. Isn’t there some big Artifact formation over there? I don’t even have an identification pendant yet. I’m afraid that if I go, I’ll be repelled.
“My dear little brother, you’re so amazing! I heard that you’ve broken through again. Is that true? Also, were you the one who set up the formation?” Her tone of voice was tinged with admiration.
“Yes!” Tang Hao was embarrassed.
“Wow! You’re really amazing. I admire you so much!” She sounded like an infatuated little girl.
Tang Hao became even more embarrassed.
“Well… it’s nothing. By the way, you don’t have to worry about anything. Didn’t I give you a bead earlier? That also works,” Tang Hao said.
“Really?” She said, surprised.
After a pause, she said in a delicate voice, “But I still want a pendant. One with a nice number.”
“What number do you want?”
“Do you have a number closer to the front?”
“I have numbers 1 to 10!” Tang Hao said.
He originally planned to give non-Huaxianese cultivators numbers greater than 10,000. However, she was a special case.
“How about number 9? I like the number 9!”
“OK!”
“That’s great! Please keep it for me. I’m too busy now, so I can’t go to Huaxia. You don’t know how scared those people from the Ministry of Defense are.
“I’ll go and look for you soon! When that time comes, remember to wait for me!”
With that, she giggled charmingly and hung up.
Chapter 706 - Midsummer Snow
In the afternoon, Tang Hao finished his class and went home.
When he got to his apartment, he saw someone standing at the stairway.
Her back was facing him. She wore a pure white slim fit dress and two-inch-tall high heels which made her slender figure even taller.
Tang Hao was surprised and called out, “Bingyao!”
Hearing the voice, she immediately turned around and removed her sunglasses.
With her bright eyes, white teeth, fair skin, and pure white dress, she was as beautiful as a fairy.
“You’re back!”
She pursed her lips and smiled happily.
As she spoke, she walked over quickly.
“How long have you been waiting?” Tang Hao asked.
“Only about ten minutes! I just arrived.” Liu Bingyao said with a smile.
Then, she took out a gift box from her handbag and handed it over. “Here! This is for you. It’s my second album, called ‘Midsummer Snow.’ I want you to listen to it first.”
Tang Hao nodded and reached out to take it.
He had been paying attention to her news and knew about her new album.
Tang Hao looked at his watch and said, “Let’s go in and have a seat! We should have dinner too.”
She hesitated for a moment but eventually shook her head and said with a smile, “I’d love to. You’re a master chef, and the food must be delicious!”
Then, she pouted and said in annoyance, “But I still have something to do later. I have to attend an award ceremony. I heard from Sis Meiting that I’ve won some award.
“I’m not sure which one it is. I’ve been busy recording the album recently, and I’ve won so many awards that I don’t remember which one this is!”
Tang Hao laughed and said, “Impressive!”
“What’s so impressive about that!” She said sheepishly. “I still have a long way to go!”
Tang Hao noticed that Liu Bingyao seemed fatigued. “You must be very tired! You’re so busy!” He said.
“Yeah! I’ve been so tired recently. The minute I wake up every morning, I get all types of jobs. I’ve been flying around! I have to drink Vitality every day, or else I can’t take it,” she grumbled.
“Let’s sit down for a while!”
Tang Hao took out a large sheet of paper and spread it on the stairs.
“There’s still some time. I’ll just rest for a bit!” She walked over, leaned against Tang Hao, and sat down.
“I’ll concoct a tonic for you. You’ll be full of energy after drinking it! I’ll also make another tonic that’ll be good for your throat!” Tang Hao said.
“Oh!”
She responded warmly.
She sat there, rested her head on her knees, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Tang Hao.
As she looked at him, she smiled.
“Why are you smiling?” Tang Hao said without raising his head.
He activated the medicinal herbs in his palm, put them into the medicinal bowl, and started to pound them.
“No… I’m not smiling!”
She stammered, her pretty face flushed red.
Then, she moved her gaze away.
But after a while, she could not help it anymore. She turned around and sneaked a glance at him. Seeing that he had his head down, she looked at him with confidence.
As she looked at him, her gaze became infatuated.
“Tang Hao, I might be holding a concert soon. Would you come to watch my first concert?” She said softly.
“Concert? Sure!”
“Then… I’ll give you the tickets. It won’t be so soon. I need to wait for the second album to be released and for the popularity to grow.”
“I’ll wait,” Tang Hao said.
“OK!” She responded softly.
She did not say anything after that. Instead, she looked at Tang Hao and enjoyed the intimate atmosphere.
“It’s done!”
Tang Hao handed her two jars of medicinal tonic.
“Thank you!”
She took the jars and smiled at Tang Hao.
“Then… I’m leaving!” She was reluctant to part with him.
“Bye!”
She waved at Tang Hao and walked a few steps. Then, she turned around and looked at him longingly.
After walking and stopping several times, she finally left the residential area.
After seeing her off, Tang Hao turned around and went upstairs.
When he got home, he opened the box. Inside was a CD and a letter with several lines of beautiful handwriting.
“Dear Tang Hao, before I knew it, more than eight months had passed. Thank you for always supporting me! Without you, I would not have been able to make it this far. It was you who gave me courage and motivation.
“This is my second album. I hope you will like it!
“P/S: Do you still remember the agreement?”
At the end of the letter were her signature and faint lip print.
Tang Hao put away the letter, picked up the CD, turned on the computer, and inserted the CD into it.
He put on the headphones and immersed himself in the music.
Thoroughly engrossed, he repeated it again and again.
He did not notice that it was getting dark outside.
After an unknown amount of time, he abruptly came to his senses and took off his h
eadphones.
He looked at the time. It had already been three hours.
“That was amazing!” Tang Hao was full of admiration.
This album was even better than her first one.
He sent her a text message about what he felt. Very soon, he received a reply: [Thank you! If you have time, tune in to the live broadcast of the award ceremony!]
Tang Hao sat down, found the live broadcast, and started to watch it.
The days continued to pass.
It was coming to the end of the semester. Tang Hao spent some time on his studies.
At night, he practiced making all sorts of pills.
His pill-making skills continued to improve. His success rate was over ninety percent, though occasionally the furnace would explode.
He stored the pills carefully for future use.
In that period, he met Ling Wei a few times to guide her on producing the new product.
The recipe he gave Ling Wei was used to improve a woman’s health and treat menstrual cramps. Ling Wei had sought his opinion from the naming to the packaging design.
Moreover, Tang Hao had also given her the distribution rights of Haotian Group’s products. The news caused a sensation.
Many people in the business world knew that Haotian had worked with Tai An before. Magical Kitchen was once very popular.
However, the two companies had a fallout, which resulted in New Magical Kitchen.
They did not expect the two companies to join hands again. That news caught them by surprise.
This product was already popular before it was released.
Everyone knew that Haotian’s products had miraculous effects.
The new product that could cure menstrual cramps had also attracted the attention of countless women.
One Saturday, Tang Hao received a call from Qin Gang.
“What’s the matter?”
Tang Hao picked up his phone and said.
“Hey, brother-in-law! Come over quickly. There’s an arrogant bastard here. He said he wants to get to know you and learn from you!” Qin Gang shouted.
Tang Hao was taken aback. “Learn about what? Antiques?”
“No! I’m at the stone-gambling store right now. There are a few Nanyang people here who are especially arrogant. We told him about how amazing you are, but they didn’t believe us. They even insulted you!
“Hah! I’m not going to repeat the filthy words they used!”
