The moment Professor Pan An arrived inside the classroom, the students already settled down and went quiet.
With Shu Xian\'s heart racing in her chest as a small smile appeared on her face, Shi Lian and Zhang Ren noticed this sweet smile, making them comment about it.
"Hey… what\'s up? Did something happen between you two?"
With Zhang Ren asking this question and has even asked her first, he beat Shu Xian\'s best friend Shi Lian to it. Shu Xian just smiled and nodded, making the other two curious.
"Yeah… there is indeed something that had happened between us," she whispered, Zhang Ren and Shi Lian\'s eyes widening in surprise.
"Yeah? What\'s up?"
However, with Pan An suddenly clearing his throat, Shi Lian\'s question was shoved aside for a while, the professor announcing their activity for today.
"For this day, I want you guys to meet up with a pair as to your major. If you guys want to work individually, that\'s fine by me, too—as long as you know you can handle it."
With him already walking up to the board, he wrote a phrase "test making" underlining it as well as he further explained what the activity is to the class.
"I want you guys to create an exam based on your field of specialization. You will have to make a 60-pts exam, and then you will have to make the instructions specific."
He then turned his body to look at the class and further stated the mechanics of the activity.
"Although this is an activity that will let us see how you construct exams, we\'re going to discuss and see later what are the dos and don\'ts in doing one. Do you understand?"
"Yes, professor," the class said in unison, Professor Pan An now leaning on his desk as he further gave them the time to do the activity as he roamed around.
"Alright… you\'re free to do the activity."
With the students starting to get busy, Shu Xian and Shi Lian automatically paired up together, Zhang Ren, volunteering to work individually rather than work with a fellow math major because he wants to work alone.
Before they could start the activity, however, two of them redirected their topic to what they were talking about earlier, Shu Xian, playfully rolling her eyes at them as she thought she had already escaped the two.
"Now, tell us what\'s this all about," Zhang Ren urged, Shi Lian, nodding enthusiastically.
"Yeah, yeah! Now, tell us!"
With them watching Professor Pan An and making sure that every time he passed by their area he won\'t hear what they\'re talking about, Shu Xian told them as silently as she could what had happened last night and earlier in the morning.
"You see… you-know-who and I are getting closer than we expected… we kissed again last night and then we sorta told each other that we\'re slowly getting interested in each other."
"Oooh~!"
With Shi Lian biting her bottom lip as she moved her eyebrows up and down at her best friend, Shu Xian and Zhang Ren couldn\'t help but stifle their chuckle, Shi Lian making a funny expression on her face.
"So you two are also taking it slow? Hmm? Hmm?"
"Also?"
Zhang Ren arched a brow at what he heard, further commenting about it.
"Don\'t tell me you told Shu Xian about us, Shi Lian?"
With this already coming from him, Shi Lian snickered, playfully rolling her eyes at Zhang Ren.
"Of course, I told my best friend about it! Do you think I will not tell her this?"
With them now having a lively conversation while they\'re slacking off from their activity for some time, Shu Xian further told them what had happened.
"So, a while ago, he actually made me breakfast and then we made lunch together! And then he did the sweetest gesture—he was hugging me while I was cooking, saying that he wants to do it while he still can."
"While he still can…"
Shi Lian trailed off, arching a brow at Shu Xian as she doesn\'t get the phrase "while he still can."
"What do you mean? Are you going somewhere?"
"Oh, right…"
Shu Xian scratched the back of her head, forgetting to tell her friends one important detail.
"I forgot to tell you guys that I will be moving out and will be staying in another house."
"You… what?!"
With both of them almost exclaiming out loud, Shu Xian immediately hushed them by hitting their arms, the other students bothered with how noisy they are.
As the three apologized about their liveliness, the three of them whispered again, Zhang Ren and Shi Lian obviously curious as to why they don\'t know this.
"Tell us everything later while we eat our lunch! How could you not tell us this!?"
With them now focusing on the activity, the two of them sighed, Shu Xian biting her bottom lip as she felt guilty for forgetting and only telling them now—even on her birthday.
The three of them focused on doing the activity. With Shu Xian and Shi Lian being partners, Zhang Ren was doing well on his own.
Shu Xian and Shi Lian agreed to make some multiple choice type of test part, and then modified true or false, and then also, essay.
With them integrating in their exam the type of exams that they were getting from their teachers, they had to be honest—when it comes to constructing instructions, it can get pretty difficult.
As the students were doing the activity, Professor Pan An was walking freely in the classroom, checking out his students if they are struggling and if they are doing well.
However, little did the birthday girl now that she is being watched by the man whom she\'s slowly getting interested in.
Pan An had a subtle smile on his face while he was watching Shu Xian from afar. He watched her tuck some tendrils of her hair behind her ear, her eyebrows furrowed in all seriousness as she was discussing the activity with her partner, Shi Lian.
Pan An stopped and leaned on the classroom\'s wall for the meantime and continued watching. As he was standing there for a moment, however, he heard two guys talking about Shu Xian, and their intentions of talking to her.
"Hey, that girl sitting in the other row—Shu Xian, the one called by the professor before."
"Yeah, what about her?"
"Upon close inspection, you could say that she\'s cute right?"
"Woah! I thought I\'m the only one thinking about that."
"You, too?"
"Well, yeah! She is indeed cute! I could see that she\'s smart, too!"
"You know, I\'m thinking if I should ask her out to the movies soon."
"Really? You really want to talk to her for the first time and immediately ask her out?"
"I could take the shot! Rather than do nothing when she\'s a good and pretty gal!"
Pan An\'s eyebrow twitched in annoyance, not liking what he\'s heard.
Surprising the two students, he banged both of his hands on their desk, startling the other students around them, too, as the professor scolded the two guys talking... rather than doing their activity.
"Focus—I already see errors in the construction of your instructions. Reword, rephrase, and make it concise! You\'re not making an essay or a novel!"
With him already walking away, the two students immediately scrapped their paper out and did it again, Pan An internally scoffing as he thought to himself:
\'You dare ask the girl I\'m interested in out on a date… when you can\'t even do your task right! Think again!\'

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Sorry for suddenly appearing here.
I would like to announce that there will be a change in publishing time since I am now working and my work requires me to be away for 8-9 hours. And from there, I would have to take a break for at least an hour before writing since teaching is tiring. :\')
(Yes... the author is a teacher, too...)
So from the usual 6 PM GMT+8, I will be updating for this story at 11 PM GMT+8. I hope you guys understand!
Don\'t worry because the updates will still be daily and it will still be two chapters update a day. But if I\'m tired because teaching is no joke and I also write other stories, I hope it is okay for you guys that I update one chapter from time to time. Thank you so much for understanding.
This is it for the announcement.
Thank you so much for the support and love!

PS: If you guys want to read longer stories made by me, try reading The Soul Eater\'s Possession. It already has 1.5 million views and it has almost 500 chapters and is still ongoing. ^^ Its genre is fantasy romance.
PPS: If you guys want another fantasy romance story, try Accidental Harem: Let\'s Kiss Again! It has almost 200 chapters and is also ongoing. Even though it has harem on it, don\'t be fooled—it doesn\'t have the concept of sharing one lover with a lot of guys. XD BTW, this is reverse harem.
