Chapter 277 : This Position Is Great, Madam, I Love It!
“Teacher, are we really going to bring these as gifts?”
Jiang Xue looked in disbelief at the items Ling Ning was carrying. They were bags of spicy snacks from the supermarket—how could they possibly bring these to visit the renowned “Moe-Lost-Kitty”? Surely something more refined was needed for such a visit.
Jiang Xue had even taken the day off and set aside her hard-earned savings, expecting to bring a more sophisticated gift. But to her surprise, Ling Ning had brought her straight to the supermarket and bought a huge bag of spicy snacks. Wasn’t that a bit inappropriate?
Ling Ning waved off her concern. “Trust your Teacher! I know her tastes well enough.”
Honestly, for the petite, directionally-challenged Chen Ruo, spicy snacks were all it took to win her over. In another life, a woman like Chen Ruo could probably be lured into bed countless times with these alone. It was a miracle that no one had yet managed to seduce her into becoming a “hot weapon.”
“Is that… really okay?”
Jiang Xue was still hesitant. Would they actually get kicked out for bringing spicy snacks as a gift?
Ling Ning shot her a look. “Seriously? How many times are you going to ask? If you keep this up, I’ll leave you here.” Jiang Xue had been chattering about this since morning, and even Ling Ning’s patience was wearing thin.
But she understood her disciple’s anxiety. It was like a newbie getting the chance to meet a Teacher—they were bound to be a bit nervous.
Jiang Xue quieted down, though her darting eyes made it clear she still had her doubts.
Ling Ning led her to Chen Ruo’s apartment building. Since it was around school hours, Ling Yao should be at school, meaning Chen Ruo, a homebody and directionally challenged, was likely at home. Just in case, Ling Ning dialed Chen Ruo’s number.
Jiang Xue looked at the building, surprised. This was close to where she lived and on her usual route to work. She hadn’t expected the famous “Moe-Lost-Kitty” to live so close by.

“Oh, this position is fantastic. Madam, I love it—definitely remembering this!”
“How… how is this position even possible? No matter—gotta remember it anyway.”
“So, this is what it’s used for? I always thought it was just a regular ‘beep beep beep,’ but it actually has a function like that? But, it’s so big—is that even safe?”

At that moment, Chen Ruo was busy watching certain “unspeakable” material… well, in strict terms, it was all for “research”!
Madam Chen Ruo preferred viewing… research on a large screen, so naturally, she was seated in her living room, watching on her fifty-inch TV, surrounded by a scattered array of “items” that might lead to some… misunderstandings if someone unfamiliar walked in.
Just as she reached a pivotal moment in her “research,” her phone rang. Still focused on the screen, she grabbed her phone without checking the caller ID and answered.
“Hello? Chen Ruo?”
“Eek!”
Wasn’t that… Ling Ning’s voice? Why was she calling now? And wasn’t the volume on her… study material… a bit loud? Could Ling Ning hear it through the phone?
Chen Ruo fumbled to mute the TV but couldn’t find the remote. She was sure it had been right there… just as she frantically searched for it, the sound from the TV suddenly got even louder.
Then she spotted the remote… right under her.
Now she was in real trouble—the sound was loud enough for not only Ling Ning but probably everyone downstairs to hear!
“Chen Ruo, I think I hear something strange on your end…” Ling Ning said, sounding puzzled. It sounded suspiciously like a woman moaning—of the particularly, um, intense kind.
“Is she watching something… inappropriate?” Ling Ning wondered to herself.
“No… no, I was just watching Planet Earth and accidentally hit the volume button.” Chen Ruo finally managed to mute the TV and answered awkwardly.
She knew it was a flimsy excuse—what animal sounded like that? To divert suspicion, she decided to change the topic quickly. “So, uh, is there something you needed, Ling Ning?”
“Well, yes. I was hoping to discuss something with you. I’m actually right downstairs and wanted to check if you were home. Since you’re there, I’ll come on up.”
“Oh… okay. Wait, you’re downstairs?”
“Yes. Why?”
“No… nothing.” Chen Ruo’s voice was stiff.
As soon as she hung up, Chen Ruo sprang up, frantically gathering her “research materials” and darting into her bedroom. She had no time to hide everything properly.
With no better options, she lifted the bed covers and shoved everything underneath. Then, rushing back to the living room, she yanked the USB drive from the TV. She wouldn’t repeat the mistake from last time—she absolutely could not let Ling Ning discover her… interests.
Just as she pulled the USB out, the doorbell rang. Chen Ruo exhaled in relief. She’d managed to hide everything before Ling Ning arrived. Hopefully, there was nothing she’d forgotten.
But just as she approached the door, she noticed a small, pink, wired item on the sofa.
“Ah! I can’t believe I missed that! Good thing I spotted it, or if Ling Ning saw it…”
She didn’t have time to stash it in her room, so she quickly shoved the item into her pocket, took a deep breath to compose herself, and opened the door.
Standing outside was not only Ling Ning but also a young girl Chen Ruo didn’t recognize, who was eyeing the doorway nervously.
