Shu Xian stopped by the door of her next class. With her panting as she ran in the hallways, she was glad that no one has seen her running away to scold her since that would be too embarrassing.

Heck, what surprised her more is the fact that she was able to run away with wearing a skirt! Yes, she knew that she was wearing shorts underneath, but still… if her skirt were flying around as she ran away, that would've been too embarrassing!

With Zhang Ren and Shi Lian now catching up, Shu Xian looked at them, still catching her breath.

"What's up with you running away from the professor?" Shi Lian asked as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, not specifying who they were talking about.

"I… he…"

With the bell ringing once more, everyone now headed to their next class, Shu Xian, sighing as she was desperate to tell her friends what had happened.

"I'll tell you guys later over lunch. For now, I don't want to jeopardize my acads."

"Alright, alright," Zhang Ren said, shaking his head. "Even in this situation with whatever it is that is worrying you, you really focus on your acads."

The three of them then entered the classroom. They actually couldn't wait for lunch to come so they would be able to talk about this and end their curiosity.

Since it is Pan An's break, he immediately went to the library, inside Wang Fang's office.

With him sitting on the leather couch as Wang Fang was doing her business, the call finally connected after the fifth attempt, Wang Lei immediately shouting at his friend the moment it connected.

"What the fuck!? Are you mad? I'm working! What the hell do you want?!"

It did not need to be in loudspeaker for Wang Fang to hear what the other person on the line had said. With her looking at Pan An briefly with a smirk coming to her face as she continued typing on her keyboard, Pan An talked to Wang Lei who is obviously annoyed.

"What did you talk about with Shu Xian?"

"What?" There was annoyance etched in the tone of his voice. "You… called me for this in the middle of my work pile!?"

"I just need an answer."

Wang Lei heaved a heavy sigh. With Pan An expectantly waiting for his answer, he sounded sarcastic, making Wang Fang laugh the moment the call disconnected.

"You want an answer? Fine… fuck off!"

With Wang Fang tipping her head up as she laughed, Pan An couldn't help but scoff as he kept his phone in his pocket, now talking to the Chief Librarian.

"He's like a man full of mood swings. One moment he's okay, and then the next moment, he's this… you know."

"Well, aren't we all?" Wang Fang said, taking a small break from her work. She put her eyeglasses down, then further talked to Pan An. "I could understand him. With you suddenly visiting my office."

Hearing this, Pan An couldn't help but roll his eyes at what she said.

"Come on, Wang Fang… not you, too?"

"Don't worry," Wang Fang said, letting out a small laugh. "Unlike him, I kinda enjoy this interruption. This document is killing me!"

With Wang Fang now standing up to get herself a glass of water from the water dispenser, she then leaned on her desk and talked to Pan An, wondering what's bothering him.

"If you were bothering your friend this much, what are you worried about?"

"Nnngh…"

Pan An let out a groan. With him remembering what Shu Xian had said, he figured he could talk to Wang Fang about this since they are now indeed close and Wang Fang is another person he could trust.

"Shu Xian… she's working under you, right?"

"Yes, you introduced herself to me. Why? Are you regretting it?"

"No," Pan An immediately replied, "She seems so happy that she got this scholarship. It actually made me happy, too, since I have helped a person who needed it."

"Great, then," Wang Fang commented, putting down the glass of water on her desk then crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Then, what are you worrying for?"

Pan An paused for a while. With him wanting to talk about this to Wang Fang as well, he wondered if it is alright to tell her. But knowing her so far, she is indeed a trustworthy person that he's glad to be friends with.

"You see… Shu Xian… she actually lives with me."

"I beg your pardon?"

With Wang Fang's eyes widening in shock, Pan An nodded to further confirm what he said, heaving a sigh at the same time.

"I trust you, so I can easily tell you this. You see, her family background is complicated. She has no place to stay. I saved her from attackers one night, and then asked her to stay with me with her dog. And to cut the long story short, as help, too, she wanted to work as a student assistant for finances."

"I see… I figured that her family background is complicated," Wang Fang said, already letting out a small sigh. "It was something that she cried about when I asked her about it."

As Wang Fang now sat back on her office chair, she still continued conversing with Pan An, further telling her what she thinks about this.

"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I could see that Shu Xian is a good girl. But something tells me… that this is not something that you want to talk about since another thing is bothering you?"

With a grin appearing on Pan An's face, he was amazed to notice how keen Wang Fang is, complimenting her at the same time.

"Very observant. Fine… I'll tell you what's worrying me."

With Pan An now telling her what has happened a while ago and what he could be worrying about, it made Wang Fang want to scold him, too, thinking what if rumors would start between them because of what he was doing.

As Wang Fang listened to him, however, she started to make assumptions, prepared in telling what she thinks to Pan An. She waited for him to finish talking first with the thought in mind that Pan An could possibly be…

Attracted to the lady, Shu Xian.
