Fancy Me, Professor!

After Wan Wan had done her business in the front yard, Shu Xian went out to do some quick cleaning.

Afterward, Shu Xian entered the house, Wan Wan, following behind as she made way towards her room after locking the front door.

The moment Shu Xian arrived in her room, she didn't know why, but she heaved a big sigh of relief, leaning on the door for a moment as she thought to herself:

'It has only been a day here and it felt like a lot has happened in a year…'

Shu Xian shook herself from her thoughts as she removed her clothes and underwear, leaving it on the floor as she made her way towards the personal bathroom of the room she was staying in.

Before entering the shower, Shu Xian made sure that the temperature of the water was just right—not too cold, not too hot. When she extended her hand to feel the water, a smile of satisfaction crept on her face, making her step into the shower.

"Ah… I love it when the warm water hits my skin. So relaxing."

Shu Xian could not help but sigh as she continued washing her body, her eyes already spotting the shampoo at the side. The moment she got the shampoo, she wondered what other products could be present.

Shu Xian then saw a variety of bath and body wash products. Beside them were expensive conditioners, and half consumed sophisticated lotion products as well. When she also saw a loofah sponge hanging at the left side of the shower, the young lady furrowed her brows in confusion.

'Why does it seem like a woman has lived here before? Could it be that his mother has stayed with him?'

Shu Xian shook her head, thinking that the idea is not possible.

"How can Ma'am Cai Li stay here if ever then—when she has a better house and this is just a normal home?" she mumbled to herself, the shower, running freely above her head as she slowly got the shampoo at the side.

'This shampoo… it's half consumed, too.'

Shu Xian got some of it and had lathered it on her scalp, her thoughts still running wild as she made new assumptions over the other.

'Could it be that Pan An had visitors?'

'Is it a female visitor?'

'Stupid… Pan An's visitors before me is not something I should worry about.'

'But why are they all female products?'

'Could Pan An have a girlfriend before and that she stayed here?'

When Shu Xian thought of the last idea, her hands stopped washing her hair, making her remember what Cai Li had said earlier.

'Could it be that the person is somewhat involved in this? Is it Ruo Xi? Well, Ruo Xi is a female name…'

"Nngh…"

Shu Xian groaned slightly as she shook her head, not liking the ideas that were coming in her mind.

'What kind of ideas am I having now? Why am I thinking much into this when Pan An is a complete stranger and I am just taking advantage of his kindness while being in a fake relationship with him?'

With that in mind, Shu Xian continued bathing, already putting some bath soap on the loofah sponge as she started lathering it, using it to wash her skin.

'Or Pan An uses female products? Mm... I should stop thinking.'

However, Shu Xian had to admit. She was still curious about who Pan An is, and with the thought of Shi Lian's brother close with him at the back of her mind, the plan of calling her best friend Shi Lian still remained in her mind.

***

After 10 mintues, Shu Xian had already finished showering and changing into her night clothes. She blew dry her hair and wore her favorite oversized shirt, her sleeping pajamas.

Wan Wan already cozied herself beside Shu Xian's bed, already dozing off as her master sat on the bed, getting her phone that was charging on the bedside table.

She then opened her contacts and when her fingers landed on Shi Lian's number, she clicked call, putting her phone against her ear at the same time as she waited.

"Shu Xian!"

It only took two rings, and the feisty Shi Lian already answered.

A soft laugh came from Shu Xian, making her feel excited that she would already talk to her best friend after such a hectic day that had happened to her right on the first day that she was staying at Pan An's place.

"I waited for you for hooouuuuurs," Shi Lian complained, "I thought you were asleep! It is already 10 PM!"

"I know, I know, I'm sorry," Shu Xian apologized, "A lot has really happened," she added, a sigh heard at the other end of the call.

"Now, aren't you going to tell me all about him?" she asked, Shu Xian's lips turning into a tight line.

She wasn't sure if she would tell Shi Lian everything—what she knows until now. But to be honest, Shi Lian is the only friend she has and with her facing events such as this, Shu Xian wanted to confide in a friend so it would ease her worries.

With Shi Lian having connections with the Invicta Company as well, maybe this could make Shu Xian understand who Pan An is better—if staying under his roof would be good.

Knowing that he is the son of a well-known company, Shu Xian would want to know what kind of life she has entered.

"Shi Lian," Shu Xian said her name, seriousness etched in her voice. "Do you know the Invicta Company?"

When Shu Xian asked that, Shi Lian was quiet for a while. It made Shu Xian furrow her brows as to why her best friend suddenly became silent, knowing that it was a complete opposite of her lively personality.

"Shi Lian?"

"Why are you asking me this?" A chuckle sounded from the other end of the line. "Invicta Company is known far and wide. Asking this to me is stupid. But our family is indeed affiliated with their business. What of it?"

"Well…"

Shu Xian trailed off, taking a deep breath then she blew it out slowly before she answered Shi Lian's question, surprising the soul out of her best friend's body.

"Pan An is not just a professor. I am living with him in his home—he's the son of the people who owns Invicta."

"You… WHAT!?"
