Chapter 319: Succubus Xue Jing, a Minor Not Counted as Open (4K)
Xuanwu Mansion, in the cafeteria.
Xue Jing came here to experience the students' meals and, after ordering many dishes, casually found a spot to sit down.
He had just taken his seat when a girl wearing a white martial arts uniform with shoulder-length short hair and a delicate face approached, holding a tray.
"Mr. Xue... can I eat with you?"
She asked cautiously.
Xue Jing glanced at her, nodded, and smiled warmly, "Sure, take a seat."
Perhaps it was the magic of the 'teacher' identity; although he was the same age as these students, there was always a sense of parental affection when facing them after gaining this title.

It was like dealing with children; he found himself having an extra measure of tolerance that he didn't usually show.
Maybe it also had to do with his being a person of two lifetimes; with this identity, could he exhibit the side that reflected his true psychological age?
While Xue Jing was analyzing his own mentality, the girl student was dazzled by his gentle smile, unintentionally clutching the clothes over her heart, her heartbeat racing, biting her lower lip.
That smile... it's so unfair!!
Fu Jialin's cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly placed her tray on the table, sat down next to Xue Jing, thought for a moment, and then subtly moved closer to him, almost touching him.
Although she had just been 'planted' into the ground by Xue Jing's Power, which was quite a shock, she later realized that no one was hurt, not even a minor scrape.
Clearly, this was a strong and gentle good teacher, reluctant to hurt even those students who harbored ill will and were obviously trying to harm him!
Fu Jialin covertly admired Xue Jing's flawless profile from up close, watching him pick up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, put it into his mouth, and chew a couple of times before frowning slightly.
Why does even the look of finding something distasteful while eating appear so enticing...
Fu Jialin covered her face with her hands.
"Student, aren't you going to eat?"
Xue Jing glanced at the girl next to him who seemed to be up to something.
Hearing this, Fu Jialin quickly lowered her hands and began, "Mr. Xue, I..."
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by a chirping noise.
"Mr. Xue!"
"Mr. Xue, let's eat together!"
"Eh, Mr. Xue, do you like Eggplant with Potatoes and Green Peppers? I can cook this dish. I'll make it for you next time!"
Four or five girls with trays approached Xue Jing excitedly.
Looking at the group of vibrant and energetic girls in front of him, Xue Jing smiled and said,
"Everyone, take a seat."
Soon, the seats around him were all filled, and the spacious dining table suddenly became crowded.
"Teacher, your hair is so nice, how do you take care of it? Can you share?"
"Teacher, I know how to read palms. Let me... let me see your palm!"
"Teacher..."
Not far away, the round-faced boy Chen Xingyan was gathered with a few companions, including He Han, pushing food around on their plates and watching Xue Jing being surrounded by girls.
"I've been careless; I didn't expect this guy to be quite something. The first wave of the plan has failed."
Chen Xingyan frowned.
Beside him, He Han scoffed, "You call that a plan?"
Ignoring He Han's jibe, Chen Xingyan glanced at him, suspiciously asking,
"He Han, you didn't snitch, did you? How come it feels like Mr. Xue... Mr. Xue knew we were going to attack him suddenly, as if it was all expected?"
With an innocent face, He Han protested, "I've been wronged, Stand Straight Bro! My mouth is famously tight, tighter than Jin Machao. How could I do such a thing?"
Chen Xingyan's mouth twitched, "Don't call me Stand Straight Bro."
After being filled with Xue Jing's Power and forced into a standing-at-attention pose to be used as a weapon, He Han had given him this nickname.
"Don't worry, although the surprise first strike failed, we still have plenty of opportunities. Now I've sent the girls to gather information about him. Men are less guarded against women, so I estimate we'll soon find his vulnerability..."
Chen Xingyan looked at Xue Jing from a distance, with a determined gleam in his youthful and chubby face.
The girl with thick eyebrows sitting beside him hesitated, "Gathering information... but it seems like they're just genuinely interested in Mr. Xue. The questions they're asking don't seem related to vulnerabilities at all..."
Chen Xingyan glanced at her, "You don't understand; it's a progressive approach. Once Mr. Xue lowers his guard, they will start to ask the key questions."
"Mr. Xue... do you have a girlfriend?"
A pretty girl with a gentle demeanor, fair complexion, and petite figure shyly asked, her voice tentative.
He Han scratched his head and looked towards Chen Xingyan whose expression darkened, "That question... it does seem quite crucial..."
Chen Xingyan frowned, "It's not that, Jingqiu is using this conversational tactic to break down his defenses..."
Not too far away, Xue Jing smiled and replied, "Yes, I do."
At that response, the girl called Ye Jingqiu suddenly showed a thunderstruck expression, as if she had just heard about a tragedy befalling her family, and forced a sad smile, "Ah... really? There's someone?"
The blatant look of heartbreak made the girl with thick eyebrows give Chen Xingyan a puzzled glance.
She knew well enough; there were some budding ambiguities between Ye Jingqiu and Chen Xingyan during their time in the mansion...
Chen Xingyan's eyelid twitched, "...It's just Acting."
Beside him, He Han patted his shoulder, consoling, "Stand Straight Bro, you can deceive us, but don't deceive yourself. Women in reality are like this; don't take it too hard."
