Shu Xian got her backpack, not bothering to get the unnecessary things out such as her socks and underwear.
She groaned as she opened her luggage, getting her white rubber shoes, and wore it without even wearing socks.
With her master panicking, Wan Wan kept cocking her head left and right as she watched her, Shu Xian, looking at her as she walked out of the room.
"I'm going out for class, Wan Wan, okay? You have to watch over the house."
Knowing the sweet tone every time Shu Xian left made Wan Wan sadly sprawl on the floor. Seeing this, Shu Xian didn't know whether to find her cute or feel bad for her.
She bent down, patting Wan Wan's head as she smiled, guilt showing on her face.
"Don't make that face, Wan Wan…" Shu Xian pouted, "I'll be coming home soon enough, okay?"
Wan Wan whimpered. The moment Shu Xian stood up to open the door, she noticed that Pan An's house had a front yard, making Shu Xian look at Wan Wan with excitement in her eyes.
"Wan Wan, look! You could hang out here outside as you wait for us!"
With the excitement in Shu Xian's voice, Wan Wan barked as she ran outside, Shu Xian smiling as she saw Wan Wan doing zoomies in Pan An's front yard.
With that, Shu Xian closed the door behind her and locked it. She kept the spare key in her pocket and walked out of the house, closing Pan An's house's gate as Wan Wan continued to do her zoomies in the front yard.
The moment Wan Wan stepped out of the gate, she blinked her eyes a few times the moment she turned her body to assess where she was.
Only then did she notice that the university was only a walking distance from where she is!
Shu Xian cocked her head to the side as she started walking.
'I even rushed myself to dress up when the university is just this close,' she thought to herself, sighing as she got her phone from her pocket.
The last thing that she used her recent pay from her part-time job was on her enrollment for the new semester. She opened her phone to look at her white form that included the schedule of her classes.
She enrolled in the degree of teacher education as she wanted to become a teacher, majoring in English. She was not sure of her degree at first. However, her friend told her to look at her strengths and look for degrees good on that.
Her greatest strength would be English because she quickly learned the language at such a young age by learning from what she watched and from listening intently to her teachers.
So, with her friend's counsel, she decided to try being an English teacher so she could make use of what she does best.
Looking at her schedule, she looked at her subjects. She only took 18 units so she could have time for her part-time job in the evening.
All of her subjects this semester are English and Education major subjects, so she knew that she would have to double her efforts and study hard.
Seeing that her first class is about Assessment of Student Learning, Shu Xian kept her phone in her pocket and walked towards the Teacher Education building, mainly for Teacher Education students.
It was her first semester taking Teacher Education subjects for the first time, so it was also her first time going inside the Teacher Education building.
As she entered the building, some students were wearing their On-the-Job training uniforms, looking like a practice teacher. There were others also wearing casual clothing such as her, indicating that they were not on their On-the-Job training yet.
Remembering that her class is on the fifth floor, Shu Xian walked towards the elevator and clicked on the button, waiting for the doors to open.
After a few seconds, Shu Xian rode the elevator, listening to the conversation that the other Teacher Education students were having.
"Did you hear? We have a new instructor for Teacher Education!"
"Oh? Why do you seem excited?"
"Are you stupid? I saw him in the office when I asked for a print out of my white form! He's so handsome!"
"Handsome? How handsome?"
Shu Xian internally rolled her eyes. She did not experience being attracted to another person's looks as she solely focused on studying.
Heck, even though some students had asked her out during her high school, she turned them down because Shu Xian was headstrong in finishing her education first!
"And in our next class, he is going to be our teacher!"
Shu Xian snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the girls talking to each other again as they walked out of the elevator.
They seemed to be going in the same direction, so does that mean that they are Shu Xian's classmates, too?
"How do you know that he is going to be our teacher?"
"Duh! He had a time-in inside the Teacher Education faculty and greeted the other teachers, saying that he's going to teach Assessment of Student Learning first thing in the morning!"
"Oh!" the other girl reacted, "Then let me see how handsome this teacher is!"
The two of them excitedly talked more, Shu Xian, rolling her eyes at their backs as they entered the classroom. Shu Xian chose to sit at the back, wanting to avoid the crowd.
She was always a loner. Because of this attitude of hers, she only had one friend, Shi Lian, who was still in another country, deciding to skip this semester to have a break.
If only Shu Xian was as rich as her, she would probably do the same…
At the same moment, the bell had rung. All the students went inside already as they found their seats, Shu Xian still alone in her row as she waited for their professor.
She then got her notebook from her bag and had set it on her desk, an excited smile plastered on her face as she started twirling her pen around her finger.
That same moment, their professor had entered the room, the girls whom Shu Xian was with, swooning as he entered.
Shu Xian rolled her eyes at them once again. She then looked at the front, and the moment she did, her whole body froze when she saw the familiar figure standing before them.
His black hair was combed perfectly. His posture was perfect—the suit accentuating how broad and chiseled his body is.
His eyeglasses gave him a look of sophistication. The serious expression on his face showed mystery, enabling others to be drawn towards him whenever he looked straight at someone.
"Good morning, everyone!" His sultry voice sounded in the classroom as he greeted his students. "Welcome to Assessment of Student Learning class, and I, Pan An, would be your professor."
Most of the girls in the room stifled their swoon as the boys internally rolled their eyes at the women who reacted that way.
On the back of the classroom, however, was Shu Xian, the only woman who didn't swoon when she saw who their Assessment of Student Learning professor was.
Her eyes were wide open as her mouth was agape, her heart thumping hard in her chest as she couldn't believe what was happening in her life right now.
'I am living under my professor's roof!?'
