Fancy Me, Professor!

The discussion was actually pretty good! Or maybe it's because it's still the first days of classes and their focuses are still there—up and running.

The lesson went by in a breeze, Shu Xian actually focusing as Shi Lian didn't even take down notes, relying on Shu Xian to copy for them and she would just photocopy the notes.

"You're so lazy," Shu Xian commented, Shi Lian, laughing as she winked at her.

"I have such a studious best friend here! Of course, you love me—you'll let me borrow your notes in the future!"

The classes had already ended and they are about to go to their next class. Shu Xian rolled her eyes at Shi Lian as they fixed their stuff, scolding her as she put her backpack over her shoulder and her free hand on her waist.

"I can't do this for you forever. You're practically taking advantage on my being responsible," she said, Shi Lian, pouting as she acted cute in front of her best friend and spoke in a baby voice.

"But you loooove me!"

Shu Xian narrowed her eyes at her, "Stop it. I mean it. Be responsible for your own notes."

"Hmph!"

Shi Lian harrumphed, already sensing that Shu Xian is indeed serious now and that she meant it.

"Alright, alright! In our next classes, I'll start to take down notes."

"Shu Xian, Shi Lian."

Sooner or later, before they can even leave the classroom, Professor Pan An called their attention, the other girls who are still around, looking at them as they wondered why they were called by the handsome professor.

Shu Xian and Shi Lian turned their body to look at him. The moment professor Pan An approached them, the two girls looked at each other in wonder, then back at the professor.

Shu Xian couldn't speak! With her suddenly remembering what has happened last night, she immediately averted her gaze from the professor, her heart racing in her chest as a soft flush of natural pink appeared on her face.

Seeing this gesture made the other girls in the classroom roll their eyes and scoff, thinking that Shu Xian is acting cute in front of the professor.

Noticing that Shu Xian is uncomfortable and that there are uninvited gazes on the three of them, Shi Lian cocked her head to the side, her faking a smile as she talked to the group of girls who seemed familiar to her.

Those girls from the elevator!

"Yes?" Shi Lian blinked her eyes a few times, "What did I say about gossips? Don't you want to use the elevator tomorrow?"

Hearing this, the girls couldn't help but roll their eyes at her. They then left the classroom, a triumphant grin appearing on Shi Lian's face as the three of them are now left alone in the room.

"What is it, Professor Pan An?"

Shi Lian spoke on their behalf, Shu Xian feeling slightly awkward as the memory of last night still lingered in her thoughts.

"We still have a next class coming," she added, Pan An, sighing as he scolded her once he was assured that the three of them are left alone in the classroom.

"Did you ban them from using the elevator?"

Pan An asked in a whisper, Shi Lian, scoffing as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"They were gossiping and talking bad about my best friend! I hate that!"

Pan An shook his head in disapproval, "You're as obnoxious as your brother," he commented, Shi Lian, not minding the comment as it actually made her laugh, agreeing with it.

The professor then looked at Shu Xian, almost forgetting why they called her attention in the first place.

"Before lunch time is your vacant time, correct?"

When Pan An asked this to Shu Xian, she nodded slowly, now snapping away from her thoughts as she furrowed her brows in wonder.

"Yes… why?"

Pan An gave her a folder. When Shu Xian opened to see what it was, it is an application form for applying to become a student assistant, making Shu Xian's eyes twinkle like stars in the sky.

She grinned ear to ear, showing her perfect teeth as her eyes turned smaller with how bright her smile is.

Seeing her this way made Pan An's heart skip a beat for a moment. Luckily, both of the girls in front of him are distracted, making him feel grateful that both of them wouldn't notice the small smile tugging his lips the moment he saw Shu Xian's happy face.

"You're applying for the scholarship?" Shi Lian asked, a frown appearing on her face as she raised a brow at Shu Xian. "Why didn't you tell me!?"

"I was about to while we're walking to the next class!" Shu Xian rolled her eyes at Shi Lian, "It just so happened that we are stopped by Pan An, okay?"

"Fine…" Shi Lian mumbled, Pan An, getting their attention again as he suddenly spoke.

"Anyway, I talked to the librarian when I arrived at work first thing in the morning and luckily, they are looking for a student assistant since one dropped out and enrolled in another university. The slot is yours—I told her you were my former student who needed help and vouched for you."

"Oh, thank you so much, Pan An!"

Shu Xian couldn't help but smile. With her gratefulness and happiness taking a toll on her body, Shu Xian jumped to give Pan An a hug, surprising both him and Shi Lian.

"Sh-Shu Xian!"

Shi Lian panicked, looking out for them as she started yanking on her arm.

"Be careful, you dummy!"

"Oh, right!"

Shu Xian then remembered that they are in the university, her glee still not going away as she looked at Pan An while she pulled away from him and apologized.

"Sorry."

Pan An didn't expect Shu Xian to act this way!

What is she happy about? The fact that he helped her, or the fact that she is going to be a student assistant?

Maybe even both?

Either way, he felt happy that he made the girl this excited, making him feel an uncomfortable beating in his chest!

Shaking himself from his thoughts, he cleared his throat, reprimanding Shu Xian as he also gave her more reminders.

"Anyway, once filled, go to the library and talk to the Chief Librarian. Also, call me professor whenever we're in the university."

"Oh, alright. Thank you—"

Before Shu Xian could formally thank him, Pan An quickly left the classroom, a smile appearing on his face as Shu Xian's grin was still fresh and lovely in his mind.

It made the professor think that he wouldn't mind doing a few more favors for her if it meant for him seeing her this happy.
