Thank You, Teacher Xie

Title: Thank You, Teacher Xie 【Cool, haughty, and unhinged older woman x scheming, clingy, warmhearted, devoted younger woman】 【Happy ending, ten-year age gap】 When Xia Ran started her sophomore year, she never imagined that Xie Yuling, the author she had idolized for years, would come to her school to teach creative writing. Even less did she expect that the beautiful, icy neighbor she'd just gotten on the wrong side of after moving into her new home would be the very same person! Her once-unreachable idol had suddenly appeared in her life. Xia Ran, eyes sparkling: So close at hand, and mine for the taking! And so Xia Ran started her “woo my idol” plan. At school and in everyday life, she appeared at her idol's side at every opportunity, fussing over her, showing off her talents, and shamelessly flirting with her, as if she wanted to tattoo the words “I like you” on her face. Her idol enjoyed teasing her, a smile in her eyes whenever Xia Ran embarrassed herself. But the moment Xia Ran crossed a line, she would retreat at once to her usual distant, unapproachable self. I can't make a move on her or melt her icy heart... Just as Xia Ran finally accepted that some people were simply unreachable suns and prepared to put her feelings away, her departed goddess suddenly turned back and appeared before her. “Do you always like to flirt and then run away?” ??? Just like that, she somehow got to experience what it was like to be pursued by her idol. Who else can relate, guys? * The bestselling author Xie Yuling has always kept a low profile, rarely appearing in public outside book signings. On her first day teaching at her alma mater, she never expected to meet the child she should have forgotten long ago: Xia Ran. They had met by chance on a trip years ago, when the child had declared that she would grow up to be Xie Yuling's lover. Xie Yuling had dismissed it as childish talk. When they met again, the child still gazed at her with passionate, fervent eyes, loving her and brazenly barging into her life. But for all her usual confidence and swagger, when it came to love, Xie Yuling was a coward. Her traumatic past kept her in the shadows, watching from afar but too afraid to reach out. But as time passed, every time she appeared, the desire to keep Xia Ran close grew stronger. Yet she knew better than anyone that this seemingly harmless puppy was always playing dumb and hiding her true nature. Xia Ran was cunning, but Xie Yuling was even more so. When the prey becomes the hunter, and the hunter becomes the prey, the game gets a lot more fun. 【Bonus Scene】 “Xia Ran, let go! I'm your teacher!” “Teacher? Teacher Xie, I don't believe you've never had feelings for me.” * “I told you, you can't talk back to your teacher!” “If I don't talk back, how can I have fun?” (Not a traditional teacher-student relationship! They do not date while Xia Ran is enrolled at the school!) Theme: You only get one life, so live it boldly and passionately.
