"So what do you wanna talk about?"
"Listen, I really need your help with our essay in science."
Chongyun looked at him in disbelief, "Why? Can't you do that by yourself?"
"I don't even know the topic"
"YOU DON'T?!"
Xingqiu sighed for the nth time of the day,"Can you please help me? There's still time before class starts."
"I'm sorry but NO"
Xingqiu widened his eyes, "Why though?"
"Because we're not close" Chongyun bluntly replied.
"Are you for real right now-"
"Well this is the first time you're talking to me ever since this year started" Chongyun adds.
"Well I'm sorry for not noticing you though"
"Are you some kind of superstar and I'm the fan?"
"No no that's not what I meant... It's just.. You're usually quiet and would always sit at the back of the class...And plus.. You gave me an umbrella yesterday which I forgot to bring with me hehe.." Xingqiu nervously smiled while scratching the back of his head. Chongyun didn't reply and just kept quiet, he stared at the boy in front of him who was now waving his hands in the air.
"Hello? Earth to Chongyun-"
"Good morning cuties"
A voice was heard from behind the both of them. A woman with green eyes and wearing a beautiful purple dress entered the classroom. It was their science professor, Miss Lisa.
Xiao quickly came back and hopped onto his seat. "Shit I'm doomed" Xingqiu cursed in a low voice. He then hurriedly went back to his own seat.
"Sooo did you all did your assignment?" Miss Lisa walked her way to the center of the class. She put her bag on the desk. "You know what will happen if you haven't done what I told you right?" Her voice was now cold as ice, her aura seemed to changed in an instant making everyone inside feel very intimidated.
Others are already sweating, some of them were already praying that she would let it slide because they know that Miss Lisa is not a very easy going professor. She may be nice and friendly but once you make her upset, you won't know what punishment you'll receive.
Xingqiu was getting more and more anxious. There was no way to get out of this situation now. "Please answer honestly if you don't want to worsen the consequences." She coughs first before proceeding, "Raise your hand if you haven't done it"
1.. 2...3... Three students raised their hands, Xingqiu glanced at the person beside him. Hu Tao gave him the 'hurry up and raise your hand look' before looking away and continues to stare at their professor in front of them. Xingqiu gave up and hesitantly raised his hand. Now there are four of them, Lisa counted.
"Now, since you didn't do your essay. How about you clean this whole classroom for the entire week. Is that possible for you?"
All of them answered yes immediately not wanting to add more punishments if they left her question hanging.
"Good now let's proceed with our class, everyone"
Xingqiu felt relieved. Good thing Miss Lisa didn't add any more punishments or else that would've been a nightmare for all of them. But he panicked again when Miss Lisa suddenly said,
"Wait.. I'll have to give you an essay that's a little bit longer than the essay today. Why am I telling you this? Because that's for your additional grades since our essay today costs 60% of your grade. You can pass it the day after tomorrow. The topic is about Paleontology."
The four of them groaned. Xingqiu closed his eyes and scratched his head. He can hear Hu Tao snickering beside him, he decided to ignore it because he has so many problems to think already.
Great.. Just Great..

As classes ended, Childe went on his way towards the school library to bring back the books that he had borrowed earlier. Once he opened the door and entered inside, he saw a familiar face that was standing beside some of the shelves. It was their literature professor, Mr. Zhongli. They made eye contact, Childe quickly bowed and greeted him. "Good afternoon, Sir" The man blankly stared at him, coughing a little bit, "Yes. Good afternoon Childe. Are you here to return the books?" Zhongli looked at the books that the ginger boy were holding.
"Uhh yes.. I borrowed them earlier to review for my test.."
The professor nodded, continuing to read his book. Childe proceeded to go to the nearest shelf and decided to place the books in there. Unfortunately, he can't reach the top shelf. Zhongli noticed that his student was struggling to place the book back. So he stood up, took the book from the boy's hand, and placed it back to the shelf. He was behind Childe. The boy can feel a toned chest behind him. He got flustered, face turning bright red. Damn he can hear his heart beating.
Zhongli took notice at how the boy's expression has changed. He asks him, "Are you okay, Childe?" In which the latter quickly replied,
"huh? Oh yeah... Thank you Mr. Zhongli for helping me...Umm.. I should go now" He bowed again before making his way towards the door. The professor stared at his student's back until his silhouette was gone. Zhongli sighed and smiled at himself. Amused, he placed his hand on his head.
"Cute" he mumbled.
