Fancy Me, Professor!

"Yes, you don't have to worry about anything. Like I told you, I'm willing to let you stay for free as long as you watch over the house."

With this said, Shu Xian's mind started going blank. With the thought of her soon moving out, she felt a little hallow in her heart—the thought of leaving Pan An even though they live across each other slightly aching her heart.

Shu Xian still hadn't spoken even a single word. With her silent as she sat back down on the single couch, Wang Fang furrowed her brows, wondering why Shu Xian suddenly looked silent. 

"What's wrong? Do you have any problems?"

"Oh, no, no!"

Shu Xian immediately answered as she suddenly felt bad for sounding sad. It was already Wang Fang who offered her a place to stay! With her sounding this sad, it's as if she was ungrateful for it when in fact, she is!

With her not answering for a while, it's as if Wang Fang could already guess why she was feeling sad. With her sitting back down on the couch behind her, she crossed her arms in front of her chest, her tone of voice teasing the young lady in front of her. 

"It's about Pan An, isn't it?"

Shu Xian widened her eyes as if she was caught on the spot. With a wide grin appearing on the Chief Librarian's face, she couldn't help but chuckle, further commenting about it. 

"You don't have to say yes or no to me, Shu Xian. I could already deduce this much," she added, Shu Xian now blushing.

"A-ah… w-well…"

Wang Fang started to have mixed feelings. She didn't know why, but other than feeling happy for Shu Xian, she started feeling overprotective about her, too!

At the same time, she started wondering why she felt overprotective of her. She knew for a fact that Shu Xian is indeed her student assistant and being overprotective of her because of her duties and focus on work and at the same time studies is important.

However… Wang Fang started to think if that is indeed the point. 

It's as if she started to regard Shu Xian as her little sister without her even realizing it!

Is that possible for a short amount of time?

With her suddenly silent, Shu Xian scratched the back of her head, feeling embarrassed. 

"Umm… Miss Wang Fang?"

When Shu Xian regarded to her as "miss" already, that's when the Chief Librarian woke up to reality that Shu Xian is not her sister, but her student assistant. 

She is another gal, only sharing the same birthday with her little sister. 

With her showing a small smile, she then arched a brow at her and then teased her for her to put her thoughts aside. 

"Since when did you and Pan An become a couple?" she asked, Shu Xian's blush never leaving her face. 

"Uuh… just a few days," she said, Wang Fang immediately reacting. 

"A few days!?"

With her sudden outburst quite loud, even Shu Xian was surprised, her hand on her chest as it slightly jumped. 

"Y-yes… is something wrong?"

Wang Fang couldn't help but put her hands on her hips. With her shaking her head at the same time, she didn't hold back on her comment. 

"Isn't it too early? I mean… did you even give him a hard time?"

Shu Xian blinked her eyes a few times. 

"I should give him a hard time?"

"Yes!"

Wang Fang answered immediately, crossing her leg over the other at the same time.

"Like… test his patience and his efforts! What if he doesn't cherish you importantly after a few days?"

"Well…" Shu Xian contemplated for a while, cocking her head to the side at the same time. "I think that Pan An will never do that. He is a very nice man."

"Oh, I know…" Wang Fang let out a sigh, rolling her eyes at the same time. "I don't know why… I just find myself so concern about you since you're so young and Pan An is the same age as me, you know."

Shu Xian couldn't help but smile. With her feeling warm in her heart as she was happy with the thought that the Chief Librarian was concerned about her, she made a comment about it, making Wang Fang slightly feel shy. 

"This may sound awkward to hear, but… other than you being my boss, you're like my big sister, Miss Wang Fang."

The Chief Librarian was at a complete loss for words. With her lips turning into a tight line as she wasn't sure of what to say, Shu Xian continued talking to her as if to reassure her that she will be okay with her relationship with the professor. 

"Don't worry… you're close with Pan An so I know that you know him very well, even more so than I know about him. From what I can see, I think he won't ever hurt me considering of what he was carrying from the past until he has learned to let it go."

Shu Xian didn't directly say it, but she was pertaining to Ruo Xi's sudden reappearance in her life. With that in thought, she didn't know whether to be direct at Wang Fang since she didn't know which information she knew or not. 

With Wang Fang feeling more at ease with how Shu Xian spoke to her, she just nodded slowly and let out a relieved smile, now smiling at her as she told her her heartfelt regards. 

"Thank you for talking to me with ease, Shu Xian. It warms my heart to know that you see me as your big sister. To be honest, I see you as my little sister, too!"

As Wang Fang reached out to her so she could hold Shu Xian's hand, both of them smiled at each other, Shu Xian really feeling their sisterhood bond even though they know that they are not related. 

"I'm happy for you still that you are with a great man.. Just know that if ever he breaks your heart, I will definitely scold him and I will always cheer you on like a big sister to a little sister."
