Pan An just had a call with Wang Lei, saying that he would be picking him up by the university's entrance.

With Shu Xian still probably busy as 7 PM is her time out, he sent her a quick text, telling her that she doesn't need to cook or save food for him since they are going to eat outside.

He then kept his phone in his pocket. The moment he did, he let out a sigh, still remembering the kiss that they had in the morning.

'Why am I worrying so much about this?' he thought to himself, 'I will only act as if nothing has happened. No need to make it a big deal once I see her.'

At the same moment, when a familiar BMW stopped in front of him, the window opened, revealing his best friend's smug face.

"Come on in, dude. I'm famished!"

With a grin on Pan An's face as he is indeed excited to hang out with Wang Lei, he immediately entered the car, putting his bag on the backseat. He then fastened his seatbelt, greeting his best friend.

"Yo! Where are we going to eat?"

"I'm in the mood for hotpot," he suggested, Pan An, grinning at him ear to ear.

"First time having a hotpot with you—why not! Is it because it's the influence of someone whom you can't get out of your mind?"

When Pan An said this to tease him, Wang Lei playfully rolled his eyes at him, replying to what he said.

"You want me to leave you here instead?"

Pan An didn't say a word and just laughed with him instead. With Wang Lei already driving off, he decided that they'd eat at his mall—since he did enjoy the hotpot there the last time he tried it.

"Anyway, what's up?" Wang Lei asked as he drove. "With you suddenly agreeing to my suggestion when you'd usually reject just to check your papers… I'm guessing that you couldn't get something off your mind, too?"'

With a smirk, Pan An nodded, both of them indeed understanding each other.

Also, he thought that it's better to tell Wang Lei in the car since it's more private—rather than talk about it while they're eating.

"I'll get straight to the point," Pan An said, Wang Lei, listening to him. "Shu Xian and I kissed in one of the empty classrooms."

What happened next was something that he didn't expect. With Wang Lei suddenly hitting the breaks, both of them launched forward a little, the CEO obviously shocked with what he heard.

"What the hell, Wang Lei?! Do you want us to die!? Let me drive!"

However, Wang Lei just ignored him. With him looking at him, he asked him a question, confirming what he just heard.

"Let me get this straight… you and Shu Xian kissed?"

Pan An scoffed and answered, "Yes."

Wang Lei narrowed his eyes at him and asked, "What kind of kiss?"

Pan An didn't answer for a while. With him looking straight as he said his answer softly, Wang Lei couldn't help but grin ear to ear, not expecting to hear this from Pan An.

"The heated one."

"Pan An!"

Wang Lei exclaimed rather excitedly, making Pan An close his eyes in annoyance.

"I didn't expect that you two are already hitting it off! You guys are not under the influence of alcohol, even!"

With the comment made, it made Pan An blush slightly, regretting to talk about this with Wang Lei while he's driving.

It made him think that it might be better telling him over dinner rather than in the car where they almost had an accident…

"Just… continue driving."

"Oh, right, right!"

As Wang Lei continued driving, he further talked about what Pan An has said, really curious about it.

"Look at you! Here I am thinking that you might be a hopeless case—not forgetting about your ex! Turns out that you're developing your relationship with Shu Xian! She may have listened to my suggestions pretty well!"

Hearing the latter part made Pan An snap his head towards him. With him remembering whatever they could be talking about, now that they're together, he wanted to seize the moment and talk about it with him.

"What did you tell Shu Xian? Why did she ask you tips on how to seduce a man?"

Wang Lei chuckled as he shook his head.

"You may be my best friend, Pan An, but I respect a girl's request from me. I won't tell you why."

Knowing that when Wang Lei says something and that he always meant it, Pan An knew that he definitely won't get anything from him even though he forced him in various methods.

Even bribes!

"Anyway…" Wang Lei trailed off, snapping Pan An out of his thoughts. "What prompted you guys to kiss? In the classroom even! You two should be careful. The room may be empty, but what if a wandering eye suddenly passed by? Take it at home!"

Pan An grinned, slightly laughing with what Wang Lei had said. However, he still answered his question, making Wang Lei laugh out loud.

"We were talking about kinks this morning. It distracted her during lessons then when I talked to her privately to tell her to forget it, she then tells me she imagined us. It turned me on… then it happened."

"Pan An, Pan An…"

Wang Lei shook his head, stopping the car for a while when he saw that the traffic light showed red.

"From that, I could say that both of you are attracted with each other. What's the point of you guys holding back?"

Pan An sighed and replied, "It may just be physical attraction. We're always together. Doesn't that happen?"

"Well, true," Wang Lei nodded, understanding what he meant. "But you couldn't keep her out of your mind, right? Might as well confirm what you're feeling. If this goes on—your interactions with her, then it's saying something. You're interested in the girl. You're not stupid in this."

With Pan An smiling, talking to Wang Lei about it made him feel better.

He's right even—he would have to confirm it first and take things slow, rather than worry about it too much.
