Fancy Me, Professor!

Chapter 125 - Stayed Out Longer Than I Should

"What are you doing?"

Shu Xian didn't answer. With her hand tightening around the necktie, she blushed as she looked at Pan An, what she said the answer to his question, but making sure she wouldn't tell him that it's all for him.

"Testing what Wang Lei taught me."

'Oh?'

Pan An didn't know why, but his eyebrow twitched in slight annoyance, thinking that Shu Xian is using him for an experiment.

With a smirk coming to his face, he then surprised Shu Xian the moment he inched in closer, his breath fanning over her lips as he spoke.

"Then want to know the result you could get with what you're doing?"

"Huh?"

Not answering her question, what Pan An did made Shu Xian widen her eyes—Pan An, smoothly landing his lips on hers.

"Mm!"

Pan An had his eyes closed, but Shu Xian, completely taken aback by the gesture, had her eyes wide open. She blinked her eyes a few times, not expecting Pan An to kiss her in the classroom with the setting sun giving more to the atmosphere.

As Pan An stopped the kiss, Shu Xian's face was beet red, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. With her hitting his shoulder, Pan An couldn't help but laugh out loud, making Shu Xian hide her face on his shoulder, embarrassed since she still couldn't get away from his block.

"M-move your hands away, please," Shu Xian mumbled enough for Pan An to hear. "I don't want you teasing me like this."

"Oh?" Pan An let out a chuckle. "But you had the audacity to test what you've learned on me. Who is this man you're getting the attention of? Hmm?"

"N-none of your business…"

Shu Xian didn't raise her head, still embarrassed by the kiss. As she looked at their shadow, her leaning on his body, her heart raced more as she couldn't believe that this is how they both look right now!

"Then, consider yourself skipping the last hours of your duty."

"What?"

When Pan An said this, Shu Xian couldn't help but snap her head upwards to look at him, already facing him with her face still red.

"Y-you can't do that! Come on, Pan An!"

With her sounding desperate, Pan An smiled at her, finding her cute. Although, his frustration towards Shu Xian is still evident since she did not tell him why they talked about getting men's attention with Wang Lei, he couldn't help but sigh and still feel disappointed.

"Fine… go," Pan An said, sighing. With him not moving his hands away from the desk as Shu Xian was still seated on it, he gave her a fake smile, making Shu Xian comment about it.

"Pan An… don't tell me… you're uneasy about me having such topics with your best friend?"

"What?"

With that said, Pan An furrowed his brows, scoffing as he didn't expect Shu Xian to hit him bull's eye.

"What do you mean?"

Shu Xian arched a brow at him.

"With you not letting me go and with you so adamant knowing about it, it's making you uneasy, no? Are you thinking that I'm going to use this to some other men?"

When Pan An heard this, he couldn't help but slightly blush, making Shu Xian laugh. When she laughed when she was quite scared and shy a while ago, Pan An couldn't help but wonder why she is now acting like this.

"What? What's so funny?"

"Stupid," Shu Xian commented, rolling her eyes at him. "You don't have to worry about it—I'm just curious and won't be doing such stuff to other men."

"What?"

Pan An arched a brow at her, his hands still unmoving on the desk that Shu Xian is still sitting on.

"Then, why try it on me?"

Shu Xian felt confident all of a sudden. With a smile on her face, she held the necktie she gave to Pan An, saying something so suggestive that made Pan An smirk.

"I just want to know what works. With you wearing the necktie that I gave you, maybe this is something for you to remember every time you wear it."

With Pan An's smirk not leaving his face, Shu Xian pushed him lightly, enough for her to leave the desk. As she fixed her hair by flipping it to the back, her blush was still on her face, reassuring Pan An that there's nothing to worry about.

"I don't know why this is bothering you so much, but don't worry—this is just research. I was just curious."

Pan An rolled his eyes, already crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I don't buy it, Shu Xian," he said, arching a brow at her at the same time. "With you acting shy, then suddenly doing some passes on me with the kind of topic that you had with Wang Lei, how could I believe what you're saying?"

As Pan An took a few steps towards Shu Xian, her body froze, already cautious of his every movement.

"Wh-what are you doing?"

As Shu Xian was backing away, Pan An didn't know why… but for some reason, he didn't want Shu Xian to leave the room just yet.

The moment Shu Xian's back hit the door behind her, her hand landed on the doorknob, making Pan An stop her by holding her hand.

"P-Pan An? What's this again?"

As Pan An put his forehead against Shu Xian's, her heart started racing again when she heard something she didn't expect from him.

"What if I told you that I wouldn't want you to get anyone's attention other than me… what would you do then?"

'Huh? What is this?'

Pan An held Shu Xian's face with his hand that held her hand. With his thumb caressing her cheek, Shu Xian didn't know why, but she closed her eyes, nervous of what's about to happen.

And also, somehow expectant... of what's to happen.

'Aaah… why is he acting this way? And why… why am I unable to get away even though I could?'

"Shu Xian," Pan An whispered, sending shivers down the girl's spine. "Would it be too much if I—"

With the bell ringing, it had completely interrupted Pan An's words. With the bell indicating that it is already 6 PM, Shu Xian widened her eyes, remembering about her duty hours, already having the energy and strength to escape from the professor.

"Shit! I stayed out longer than I should!"

With her not even bothering to say good bye to Pan An, Shu Xian turned her body to open the door, already dashing off to go back to the library.

As Pan An was already left alone, he couldn't help but sigh, blankly staring at the opened door. With him running his hand through his perfectly combed hair, the action disheveled it, making him sigh as he thought to himself.

'Why… why am I acting this way towards Shu Xian?'
