Fancy Me, Professor!

Pan An was the final say. After he spoke to Ruo Xi and had told her words that were daggers aimed to her heart, he left the room to herself, already going back to the classroom alone.

He called her out so he could ask her what her plans are after his class if he is to escort her to the faculty or not. However, his anger and frustration towards her had allowed him to leave her without even sparing a single look back.

Ruo Xi, for some reason, found herself scoffing at how she was treated. Instead of going to the classroom, she walked out of the room where she and Pan An were and immediately went to the ladies washroom.

She was glad that the moment she entered, the comfort room was empty. Even though protocols say that the door of public restrooms should be opened, she closed it for her only use, already screaming at the top of her lungs for her to release her annoyance.

"That damned Shu Xian," Ruo Xi said under gritted teeth, already making way to the sink to wash her face with cold water. "You ruined all of my plans!"

She splashed more water unto her face. With her makeup ruined because of the crying that she did in front of Pan An earlier, she opted to fix it first before she goes back to the classroom.

With a sigh leaving her lips, she looked at her reflection in the mirror, blankly staring into her own eyes.

Ruo Xi heaved deep breaths and released it slowly. She didn't want to lose her cool and she had kept it pretty well, only to have snapped right at this moment.

With her closing her eyes, she heaved one last sigh in an attempt to relax herself, but alas, her nerves were still riled up when she remembered the words that Pan An had told her in a form of a threat.

'I know you would not dare say a thing that would risk our reputation. Because if you do, consider yourself gone from the country once more. Not by my mother's hand… but by mine.'

Ruo Xi opened her eyes, rage present. With her already wiping her face with her handkerchief found in her bag, she got her powder and then lipstick, doing a quick touch-up on her face.

With Pan An's words that still rung in her thoughts which she knew that would bother her to no end, she would have to think of another way to expose the two without her getting caught.

But how would she be able to do that—when it will be obvious that if she attempts, it will be her since she came back here in the country out of the blue?

After applying the red on her lips, she kept her makeup kit in her bag. With her hands tightening on the sink, she looked at her reflection with determination etched in her eyes, thinking to herself of the best thing that she could do now.

'I'll plan this carefully and slowly. I'll take my time now until I formulate a plan. For now, I have to get information about the people surrounding Pan An—especially that damned girl, Shu Xian.'

And with that, her lips curled into an evil smirk. As she gave herself one last look in the mirror, she then walked away and left the restroom, on her way to the classroom to continue her observation.

***

The moment the door of the classroom opened, Ruo Xi smiled and nodded at everyone as a quick greeting, quietly heading to her seat a moment ago.

With Pan An only acknowledging her presence with a professional nod, he then continued roaming around the classroom, checking on every student doing the activity.

Shu Xian was obviously focused in making her assessment activity, not even noticing Ruo Xi who just came in and sat right behind her. With Zhang Ren and Shi Lian only noticing her presence, both of them also stayed quiet as they did their activity.

Pan An walked in the aisles found in the classroom, occasionally looking into the papers of his students. With the classroom only having whispers of students discussing the activity, the noise was actually a noise of productivity—something that the professor didn't mind.

From time to time, his eyes swept on the woman who's capturing his heart. Discreetly, he smiled at her the moment their gazes met, making sure that other students won't see.

However, that was only earlier when he had just arrived. With Shu Xian focusing now, she wouldn't even dare look up from her paper, continuing to write on her draft and rechecking it before she rewrites the output onto her final paper.

Shu Xian had her brows slightly knitted together. With the tip of her pen on her lips as she contemplated, Pan An thought of himself absurd to be wishing to be that pen so he could feel the softness and taste the sweetness of her lips.

Her furrowed brows were actually cute—making him want to inch in closer and touch it to part them then plant a loving kiss on it!

If only he wasn't a professor doing his responsibility in the university. If he were a student sitting beside Shu Xian, he might take a chance to do something shameless as to give her a quick kiss even though it might raise an issue.

But alas, he could only keep his fantasies to himself! He knew better than to wait and be patient because if he acted rashly, not only will his work be affected.

But Shu Xian's studious goals as well could be jeopardized and he wouldn't want that.

Shu Xian looked at her paper once more. With her double checking again and again especially with how she formulated her instructions and her activity items, a small smile tugged the corner of her lips, satisfied that what she did is already passable for Professor Pan An.

She then put her pen down. With her moving her neck side to side as if to relax her tensed muscles, it made a soft cracking sound, her hair following the movement of her head.

Pan An, who was currently in a far corner, watched her secretly. With the way she moved her hair and head showing the skin of her neck, it lit a fire of anticipation from within him, making it difficult for him to avert his gaze away from her!

Since when did Pan An find Shu Xian so attractive? Both of them just met and he knew that they only lived together for quite a short time, but he was suddenly entrapped by her allure.

Pan An acknowledged her beauty, yes...

But right now, it's as if she's prettier than ever—as if Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, had bestowed upon her elegance and charm that is at par with Helen of Troy, the woman who is believed to have a face that launched a thousand ships!

With Shu Xian now stretching her arms up, her back arched up slightly as she realized that she had slouched for a long time. As her hand slowly held the right part of her neck, she closed her eyes, circled her head to ease her tensed muscles, her lips slightly parted in the process.

'Damn, woman! What are you doing?' Pan An thought, obviously mesmerized by the simple action that is not meant to seduce any man.

Yes, it was not meant to seduce any man, but this woman is efficiently making his soldier stand in attention!

"Shu Xian," Pan An snapped, the students in the classroom looking at him, especially Shu Xian who was taken aback with his sudden call that etched urgency.

"Yes?"

"Come with me," Pan An answered, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "I almost forgot to tell you that the Chief Librarian Wang Fang has asked for you 10 minutes before the time which is now."

"Oh?"

Shu Xian blinked her eyes a few times, knowing that their Chief Librarian is on leave because of her sister's birthday.

However, she couldn't understand why Pan An would lie on such a thing and it would be embarrassing if she told him in front of the class that it isn't true so she went along with it, already moving away from her desk.

"Please carry my things for me," Shu Xian told Shi Lian, her best friend grinning ear to ear as she nodded.

"Shi Lian," Pan An then called out, surprising her as well. "Do collect the papers for me. Since I'll be escorting Shu Xian to the library, I'd also be borrowing books. Consider this as an early dismissal of our session. Students, once done, do pass your papers to Shi Lian."

"But—"

However, before Shi Lian could even retort and ask when and where to give the papers, Pan An and Shu Xian already left the classroom, making Shi Lian groan. Zhang Ren chuckled at her frustrated reaction.

"Don't worry," he said, a sweet smile on his face as he put his hand on her shoulder. "I'll help you out."

And with that, Shi Lian just shook her head with disapproval as she collected the papers of the students who were already passing to her their activity.

'Both of them… if they continue acting this shameless, I'd even have to make my way to ask the security to clear their CCTV footage from time to time... being one of the benefactors of this university!'
