Cultivating through increasing my stats in America-Chapter 132 - 130: Homeroom Teacher (Two in One, Five Thousand Words - )_2
Li Ang gave Sofia a sunny smile without any intention of leaving.
He had realized that ever since he grew into a man, his skin had gotten thicker; if it had been the past him, he certainly wouldn’t have been able to do such a thing.
It was only upon closer inspection that he discovered his homeroom teacher was even more beautiful than he remembered.
The grey dress outlined a curvaceous figure, with flesh where there should be flesh and slim where it should be slim.
Her facial features were somewhat serious, but her skin was extremely well-maintained, belying no signs of her being twenty-eight years old.
Such a prime-aged beauty, he didn’t know what her husband was thinking, to actually get a divorce with her.
Watching his ex-wife Sofia flirting with the handsome young man who’d just approached, as the two of them completely ignored him, Muller was even more infuriated.
"You brat, can’t you understand what I’m saying? I said, don’t meddle in other people’s business!"
Muller shouted angrily, and at the same time reached out to push Li Ang.
But he didn’t expect that when he pushed, Li Ang didn’t budge an inch, as though he had pushed against a wall.
"Enough, Muller, please stop your barbaric behavior, or I will call the police."
Sofia retracted her gaze from Li Ang, turned her head, and glared at Muller, warning him sternly.
She then hurriedly moved close to Li Ang, wanting to see if he was okay.
Meanwhile, Li Ang intentionally showed a mocking smile and glanced at Muller.
Seeing the harmonious interaction between the two, Muller felt like he had nowhere to place his face and rushed forward, aiming to punch Li Ang.
Upon realizing the other party had thrown the first punch, Li Ang didn’t indulge him and easily dodged, then casually counterpunched towards his eye socket.
The force of his punch was just right, only enough to give him a black eye and force him to crouch down, holding his eye, but not any more severe.
Primarily, he was afraid that beating her ex-husband too miserably might evoke her sympathy.
"Oh, you scumbag, you’ve blinded my eye."
This was the first time Li Ang had been called a scumbag, and it was an experience that made one’s skin crawl.
Little did he know, Sofia seemed even more heartless towards this man than he had thought; surveying Muller howling in pain on the ground, she didn’t even bother to look his way and just dragged Li Ang away.
Li Ang’s hand was pulled by her as they ran several dozen meters away, and it was only when Sofia turned her head and saw that he hadn’t followed did she then release Li Ang’s hand.
"Sorry, it affects you to be involved in my family issues, but I still want to thank you for your help."
Li Ang smiled and replied,
"No worries, teacher, if you have any troubles, you can also talk to me about them. Maybe I can offer you some new perspectives and ideas."
Li Ang had come over this time specifically to build rapport with his homeroom teacher, so naturally, he wouldn’t let her slip away after such a short time.
"Hmm..."
Sofia hesitated. Originally, she didn’t plan to discuss it. After all, Li Ang was a student, and as their homeroom teacher, she was supposed to retain some authority and not share her private affairs with students.
But after seeing Li Ang’s sincere and handsome face, somehow, she suddenly had a strong desire to confide in someone.
Li Ang immediately noticed Sofia’s hesitation and glancing at the time, he continued,
"I know a really nice restaurant, and it’s about time to eat now. How about we talk over dinner?"
His words offered a compromise, and Sofia readily nodded, following Li Ang’s lead.
Halfway there, Sofia couldn’t help but start complaining to Li Ang about her ex-husband.
They had married three years prior when Muller was sunny and handsome, polite and courteous to everyone, but all that, as it turned out, had a reason.
It wasn’t until six months later, with no intimacy between them, that under Sofia’s pressing, Muller claimed he had a physical issue.
Because of this, Sofia didn’t want to say much, hoping he would actively seek treatment, but he seemed indifferent about the matter. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Since then, his outings became increasingly frequent, and although he had a lot of fair-weather friends, he never included Sofia.
Therefore, she grew suspicious and one day stumbled upon subtle evidence, revealing that her husband was gay.
All his previous talks of physical issues were lies. The truth was he liked men and only saw her as a close friend.
Even with this, after much pleading and the fact that his parents were very traditional and he didn’t want them to know about these issues, the two managed some peace for a while.
Later on, Sofia discovered something even more terrifying: her husband had been born female.
It was only after reaching adulthood that he had undergone gender reassignment surgery to become a man.
In other words, his original biological sex was female, but he identified as male, and his sexual orientation was also male.
This succession of shocks, compounded by Muller’s infidelity, became unbearable for Sofia, leading them to divorce.
To this day, Muller still shows up occasionally to borrow money from Sofia for various medications, which was the cause of their earlier argument in the street.
Having listened to the entire sequence of events, Li Ang was deeply shocked as well.
