You are all bad women! Don't come over!

After the roll call, Cai Yuncui put away the register, "Boys and girls, pair up separately, let's start with a warm-up, and then everyone can do their own activities!"

One of the boys laughed, "Hey—Ms. Cai, can't we just start our activities straight away?"

Cai Yuncui shook her head, unyielding on principles, "No way, you must complete the warm-up before you can do your own activities; otherwise, it's easy to get injured!"

"How could it be so easy to get injured—"

"Alright, alright, no complaining, let's start pairing up freely now, you can do it with your best friends!"

A girl raised her hand, teasing with a giggly smile, "Can I pair up with a boy?"

Cai Yuncui shook her head again, "No no, girls can only pair up with girls, and boys can only pair up with boys!"

"Exactly, how can you hold hands with someone of the opposite sex, you might end up with babies!"

Someone in the crowd made a mischievous remark, and a burst of laughter followed.

Cai Yuncui's face turned slightly red, but she still managed to put on a fierce expression and clapped her hands, "Alright, you have ten seconds to form a team! Those who don't make a team will have to run laps around the track as punishment!"

Everyone quickly sprang into action and seamlessly found their partners. Liu Bo glanced at Shen Mochen in the crowd, hesitating, when suddenly Gao Le wrapped an arm around his neck.

"Liu Bo, let's team up!"

Gao Le grinned and pulled Liu Bo away. Liu Bo didn't dare resist, and with an awkward glance at Shen Mochen, he half-heartedly teamed up with Gao Le.

With thirty-five in the class, minus the two girls on leave, the remaining thirty-two quickly found their partners, leaving Shen Mochen standing alone, conspicuously.

Everyone looked at the person left behind, so out of place. Although nothing was said, their gazes were rather bizarre.

Gao Le cracked a smile, and so did Shen Mochen.

"Shen Mochen, don't you have a partner?"

Cai Yuncui noticed Shen Mochen's lonely figure and cocked her head. A few snickers came from the crowd, but they were quickly muffled.

"Yeah, I can do it alone," Shen Mochen nodded lightly, and voluntarily walked to the back of the line.

"How can that be allowed? Let's do this, come up here and warm up with me, the two of us will be a team!" Cai Yuncui coughed and beckoned Shen Mochen, completely serious.

As these words came out, all the boys were stunned.

"But that's not okay... didn't you say boys can only team up with boys?"

Someone instinctively raised an objection.

"It's fine, I'm a teacher, so I can count as a boy!" Cai Yuncui stated firmly, puffing out her chest.

Last time someone else was left out, didn't he end up stretching alone too! The other boys grumbled internally.

"Oh, okay."

Shen Mochen nodded, and amid the envious gazes of the boys, walked briskly to Cai Yuncui's side and turned to give Gao Le a lip-synced "thank you."

Gao Le didn't know if the other was being sarcastic or sincerely grateful, but in his view, Shen Mochen wouldn't have the audacity to be sarcastic. Yet his face was turning green; he began to doubt the world. It was as if every time he tried something sly, he immediately received a slap in the face from the universe!

The first activity was the buttock and back stretch. Cai Yuncui and Shen Mochen clasped their hands tightly, pulling each other backwards, then squatting down and standing up.

The point of the partner stretch was to support each other; they needed to grip the other's hand tightly without slacking. Shen Mochen saw a hint of rose bloom on Cai Yuncui's face, as though she was tipsy, which was rather heart-stirring.@@novelbin@@

This couldn't have been the first time she held hands with the opposite sex, right?... Shen Mochen thought to himself.

Then it was time for mutual leg pressing, where one person would press down on the legs while the other helped hold them in place.

"Xiaochen, you can't go on like this, you really should make more friends in your class."

Cai Yuncui leaned gently against Shen Mochen's back, helping him press down, and whispered some advice.

"Mm..." Shen Mochen bit his lip, trying to stop himself from thinking nonsensical thoughts.

Shen Mochen had guessed from the start that it would turn out this way and initially imagined Gao Le's expression with a touch of sarcasm. But ever since he accidentally caught a glimpse of Catherine's icy face, that sarcasm instantly turned into shivering.

You understand, don't you? It's not my fault. If it weren't for Gao Le and the others setting me up, I wouldn't have ended up without a group partner and been paired with Teacher Cai... I'm innocent, you get it, right?

Shen Mochen screamed internally, but sadly Catherine didn't have the Mind Reading Technique and couldn't receive the signals from Shen Mochen's heart.

"I've never been this close to a guy before, it's actually kind of embarrassing..."

Cai Yuncui's slightly shy voice echoed in his ear, her hair lightly cascading onto Shen Mochen's neck.

Shen Mochen's ears twitched; it was over, he had ultimately failed.

"Haven't you been to school before?" Shen Mochen spoke in self-defeat, grateful that he was facing away from his classmates.

"At our place, it's all girls. The Jishi Association has separate schools for boys and girls."

"Really, they're gender-separated..." he murmured.

In the midst of their idle chat, Shen Mochen finished pressing his legs. He didn't get up immediately but waited for Cai Yuncui to press her leg before swiftly standing up. He bent over, held onto Cai Yuncui's shoulders, and pressed her down.

Sticking out his buttocks, he didn't dare to touch Cai Yuncui with any part of his body except his hands. Some boys were staring with an all-knowing look in their eyes.

Stay calm... Shen Mochen resolved not to look at Cai Yuncui's buttocks and forced himself to think of Gao Le in women's clothing. Gradually, he managed to regain his composure.

After several sets of stretching, they finally reached the last one.

The two sat face to face on the ground, legs apart with the soles of their feet touching. Then they clasped hands and gently pulled each other forward.

He hadn't noticed before, but now he realized this was a bizarre pose. Shen Mochen, seeing Cai Yuncui with her legs apart in front of him, her face redder than the distant sunset, immediately lowered his head.

Don't look, don't think, how does one recite pi?

"Stay calm, just a regular stretch, no need to panic. Panicking would make it seem weird. Xiaochen is just a brother, no big deal!"

Cai Yuncui continuously comforted herself inwardly. Her legs trembled slightly, not because she couldn't support herself but because spreading her legs in front of a boy was so embarrassingly shameful.

She hadn't thought much about it when she let Shen Mochen join her, but once they had started, she realized how many of the movements were so humiliating!

Finally, after enduring a long thirty seconds, both got up simultaneously. Shen Mochen didn't speak a word and went straight back to his class team.

He wasn't that embarrassed, but Catherine's eyes had turned colder than the polar icebergs.

Cai Yuncui still couldn't settle her mind and hastily announced the end of the session, allowing everyone to engage in free activities.

"Teacher Cai, didn't you say earlier that you're good at running?"

Catherine suddenly stood up, her gaze cold as if it bore a chilly light.

Shen Mochen had seen a similar light before, on the knife's edge sharpened by Yin Huailian, just as cold and chilling.
