Chapter 171: It doesn't matter who I am

Lith was bored as he sat in his study table chair, with nothing to do. He tried meditating for a while in order to better understand the laws of the world and improve his cultivation, but he eventually realized that meditating any longer was pointless. So there he was, bored, sitting in a chair.

"So boring..." Lith muttered and lay back in his chair and looked up at the ceiling. Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he smiled. He got up from his chair and left his room, leaving Rena sleeping on the bed.

He walked upstairs and came in front of his teacher's door. He rang the bell once, and a few seconds later, Arya opened the door.

She was in her casual outfit, wearing black leggings, shoes, jacket and sunglasses and a white sports bra. Looking at him, she asked,

"What brings you here?"

"I have some doubts." Lith said in a neutral tone.

"Doubts in...?"

"In my sexuality of course. Help me clear it up, teacher."

"..."

Arya was speechless when she heard such a shameless response from Lith.

Lith, on the other hand, was just looking at her with a poker face, as if what he just said was something very normal.

Arya looked at him and asked with a smile, "how long are you going to use this excuse?"

"What excuse? There is no excuse. Anyway, will you let me in or do I have to just stand here, teacher?" Lith said with a smile.

"Come in." Arya said and gestured for him to come inside.

Lith happily walked in and sat on the sofa present in the living room. He was wearing gray sweatpants and a black half sleeve t-shirt — his everyday comfy clothes. Turning on the tv, he put up an anime movie and turned to his teacher and said,

"Let's watch a movie together, teacher."

Arya looked at him and asked, "do you think I have time for it?"

"Of course." Lith replied with a smile without even a bit of hesitation.

"..."

Arya was speechless once again. This guy... just what did he think of her? Does she look like someone who had nothing to do and only lazed around every day? Does he think she is free all day?

Despite her thoughts, she didn't argue with Lith because she knew he'd just twist her words and coax her into doing things she didn't want to do anyway. She was gradually gaining a better understanding of his personality, and one thing was clear: he was on par with her in terms of being shameless.

Sitting beside him, the two watched the anime movie together. It was a romantic movie having tragedy, action and drama in it. Lith had seen it before and he put this movie up because he had his reasons.

He looked over at his teacher, who was sitting cross-legged and intently watching the movie. He sighed, knowing that she didn't have much of an impression of him and that he wasn't even close to dating her.

Had she been interested, she would've at least interacted with him a little while watching the movie, but she clearly didn't, so he knew it. Though this was the case, he didn't mind it. It's not like he had done anything noteworthy to have her fall for him anyway, and they were this close right now, just because he was her student.

Lith knew he needed to take action to score his hot teacher. Without being proactive, things wouldn't progress. A good thing for him was, they were already a little close and things were a bit easier for him. Thus, knowing and taking all of these factors into consideration, he looked at Arya and said with a smile,

"Teacher, move a bit. I wanna sleep and watch it. Ah, no, no. Even if you do move, I can't really sleep on it. Hmm, this is a problem. Ah right! I think you should come sleep with me and watch the movie together. It will be a great experience for you. It's very comforting to watch such movies together in such positions. Trust me."

Arya looked at him and heard him out of interest. She could tell he was attempting to be touchy with her by this point. He took advantage of every opportunity he could and tried to maintain some level of intimacy with her, which she was beginning to realize.

Why was he doing so and for what reason? She had no idea about it. The concept of dating and relationships was foreign to her as all her life, she focused on cultivation. Nevertheless, she complied with his request, since it wasn't something too bothersome for her.

Sure, she may not like men gawking or touching her, but Lith was an exception. It was all thanks to his good impression that he made previously and also for being her student, Lith could have this privilege of touching Arya.

Lith lay on the couch with Arya in her arms and watched the movie together with her. It was a bit uncomfortable, but better than nothing since he could cuddle along with his teacher. He didn't cross any lines as he knew it would just mess things up and silently watched the movie with her.

....

Vice principal's office, main building.

"You are...?" Eric looked at a black-haired, black-eyed teen sitting in front of him and asked, assessing him.

He had no idea who he was or what batch he was in, since there were too many students in the academy and remembering everyone's details was a waste of time for him. Plus, he also seemed pretty average overall and it didn't ring any bells for Eric as to who he was.

Lucas, the black-haired, black-eyed teen, lay back in his chair and crossed his legs. He looked at Eric with indifference, as if he was a mere peasant, and said,

"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is why I am here."
