Fancy Me, Professor!

Chapter 39 - Wang Fang

Before they even knew it, their classes in the morning had already ended.

Before Shu Xian and Shi Lian decided to get lunch, they immediately filled up the Student Assistant Scholarship form the moment the bell rang, the two of them already walking to the library so they could submit the form to the Chief Librarian.

The moment they entered the library, Shu Xian and Shi Lian were in their best behavior, knowing that inside the library, they should be quiet so as to not disrupt the people who are studying inside.

Shu Xian and Shi Lian scanned their surroundings, now seeing the sign which said "OFFICE OF THE CHIEF LIBRARIAN" on the farthest corner of the library, right after walking up the stairs, near the internet library where people surf the net online for a limited time.

The library has a few tall walls of ancient volumes, though mostly they are now a sort of decoration to set the scene since it is indeed a place full of books where people can study.

Nowadays, one simply logs in through one's device and either reads or listens to one of the thousands of titles, including scientific research papers.

Heck, people can do this at home, too! Yet the library is still a great place to study and learn around peers and make new connections.

To Shu Xian, studying in the library is not at all that bad. She prefers it, actually! She loves reading in a quiet environment and furthermore, with the thought of working here, she couldn't help but feel excited that she would get to spend more time here!

It pays her tuition! It helps her earn, too, with the allowance the university gives! With Shu Xian living with Pan An, then she could still get to earn, making sure that she would definitely save up and only spend money when needed.

To Shi Lian, however, being in a quiet environment such as this makes her frown! She couldn't help but think that she would have to visit Shu Xian here often, making her shudder with the thought of not being able to bother her with her usual, lively self.

"How many hours are you required to work in a day?" Shi Lian asked, Shu Xian, whispering to answer her question.

"From what I know, six hours a day."

Shi Lian widened her eyes, "Six hours!?"

"Hush!"

Shu Xian immediately elbowed her, Shi Lian's voice almost loud.

"Don't forget we're in the library!"

Shi Lian rolled her eyes at her, commenting about her application in the softest way possible so she will not be scolded by her best friend.

"I know working in the university in the janitorial department would be difficult. The canteen sounds good for the food, but still hectic. I heard working as an office secretary is good. But why the library? It sounds so boring… it's so, so… quiet!"

Hearing Shi Lian's remark, Shu Xian couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. She then stopped in her tracks and turned her body to look at her, the two of them already in front of the stairs going to the second floor of the library where the office of the Chief Librarian is residing.

"Keep your complaints to yourself," Shu Xian retorted, "Besides, I'm the one working—not you. It's just that the thought of visiting the library just to see me irks you."

"You—"

Before Shi Lian could even answer, Shu Xian already walked up the stairs, not bothering to listen to her reply. With her best friend walking away from her, Shi Lian couldn't help but puff her cheeks as she sat on the couch near her, surprising the other students who were sitting and reading at the same time.

'That Shu Xian… she could've asked help from me for this since we are one of the ones who fund the university. Why ask for the stupid professor's help?'

Shi Lian crossed her arms in front of her chest as she slumped on the couch, waiting for her as she got her phone from her pocket and started browsing the net.

Shu Xian already arrived on the second floor. With the folder at hand, one student assistant approached her, inquiring about what she needed as she saw how Shu Xian expectantly looked at the office of their Chief Librarian.

"Yes?" The short-haired girl called Shu Xian's attention. "Is there anything that you wish to inquire?"

"Oh! Yes!"

Shu Xian immediately answered, handing her the folder as well as she saw the nametag that was pinned on the left part of her shirt. The tag read: Hi! My name is Ying Ying, a Library Student Assistant!

Seeing the nametag made Shu Xian observe the student assistant before her. If Shu Xian would soon work here in the library, then she would also be provided with a nametag and would be often available to patrons just like this girl before her.

With this, it made her look forward to working for the university, one thing that is different from her service crew jobs that she juggled just so she could pay her tuition and have allowance.

"Oh! You're Shu Xian, the student assistant applicant we were told to expect," Ying Ying said, snapping Shu Xian out of her thoughts as she nodded to answer Ying Ying's question.

"Yes. My name's Shu Xian. Am I… late?"

"No, not at all!" Ying Ying said with a smile, already giving back her folder. "Miss Wang Fang is expecting you!"

With that, Ying Ying knocked on the Chief Librarian Wang Fang's office door, announcing the arrival of Shu Xian.

"Miss Wang Fang, Shu Xian has arrived."

"Alright!" Wang Fang called out, enough for the two of them who were outside to hear. "Bring her in!"

With Ying Ying opening the door of Miss Wang Fang's office, Shu Xian thanked Ying Ying with a small bow, the applicant already entering the office before the student assistant closed the door.

The moment Shu Xian was inside the office, she immediately gave the Chief Librarian a bow, greeting her at the same time.

"Good day, Miss Wang Fang. The name's Shu Xian and I am applying to become your student assistant."

The moment Shu Xian raised her body, she was slightly surprised to see a beautiful, young woman before her!

She had straight, brown hair that cascaded behind her. She was obviously well-endowed that even though she's sitting down, one could deduce that she has a great, sexy body! Her lips had a natural pink tint to it, her eyes a beautiful almond, too!

"Good day, Shu Xian."

Wang Fang greeted her, elegantly standing up from her chair as she put on her eyeglasses.

"Professor Pan An has told me about you."

Seeing her right before her eyes clearly than ever since she stood up, it made Shu Xian think that if Pan An and her stood side by side, they are a perfect couple—the thought slightly making her feel uncomfortable as she remembered that the two of them talked earlier this morning…
