University High (Yizhan Fanfiction)

Chapter 5 : Realization

"Hey did you guys hear about the new teacher?" Aqing asked Mianmian who just took her seat next to her. "I heard he's a personal friend of the director. He's got quite the resume. He graduated from Oxford England" Aqing added. Another girl, Lulu turned around and said,"Yes he's also single and I heard he also has his own company." "Wow really? I hope he's good looking.. I'm so bored with business law.. such a boring subject. God at least let him be good looking." Mianmian replied. "He's a friend of our handsome director he must be good looking too!"Lulu replied. The girls were excited.

Soon, there was a loud tapping on the door and headmaster entered the room. Everyone scurried back to their seats as they watched their new teacher following behind the headmaster. "Good morning class, as Wen laoshi is on maternity leave, she will be replaced by your new teacher Xiaolaoshi." giggles and shrieks filled the classroom as the girls squaled and whispered to eachother, excited at their handsome new teacher. Yubin nudged the sleeping Wangyibo next to him whispering:"Yibo wake up, the new laoshi is here!!" Yibo murmured "mmm" and kept his head down ignoring his buddy. The headmaster sighed, patted Xiaozhan's shoulders and wished him luck before leaving him to his new class.

Xiaozhan wrote his name on the board and greeted everyone,"Hi my name is XiaoZhan. You can call me Xiao Laoshi. I'm from Zhongqing, I used to go to school here, then I went to get my MBA at Oxford England. Afterwards I did some work there for 2 years before coming back to China and started my own law firm which has been running for about 3 years now. I hope i can share my experiences in the field with all of you and i hope we get along. Now please introduce yourselves and state your study major, starting with you."

Xiaozhan pointed to the boy with seated at the front corner of the class. "I'm Songzichen business law major. "I'm Aqing marketing major." Aqing stood up flashing her brightest smile to Xiaozhan. ...Many seats introductions later, Xiaozhan noticed a guy whose head rested above his folded hands.

All eyes turned to him as Yubin nudged his arm whispering:"Yibo wake up the new teacher is calling you!!" the urgency of the voice jolted Wangyibo and he sat up straight in reflex, his hair in a mess as he stared at his new teacher.

Yibo's mouth dropped and stared at the man he was so intimate with couple days back. Both of them were stunned speechless for some time. Oh My God, wasn't he that guy from the bar the other night?? the one he went home with... Wang yibo's heart thumped loudly, they met again unexpectedly and he could not help but smile.. but in this situation.. this kind of situation.. Why was Zhange his teacher?!? Yibo was stunned speechless.

Yubin waved his hand infront of Yibo's eyes to snap him out of his trance: "You're supposed to introduce yourself and your major,"

"...I.. I'm Wangyibo, finance major..." he quickly said, trying his best not to sound awkward. Xiaozhan sighed silently thinking that he messed up big this time. Way to go casanova! What a way to start his first day at work discovering he just laid his hands on his own student not too long ago. Oh damn! But he's still in junior year?? he must've lied about his age! Xiaozhan cursed silently. Well he was not his student yet technically when it happened, Xiaozhan consoled himself and pushed the image of them both tumbling in bed at the back of his mind.

"Laoshi i have a question," a pretty girl with chestnut brown hair raised her hand, snapping Xiaozhan into reality, her face shining in excitement as another girl beside her giggled. "Yes? and you are?" Xiaozhan turned and asked for her name. "I'm Mianmian, I major in marketing. Laoshi... are you single?" the girl slightly bowed her head blushing while the rest of the class squaled in anticipation.

Wangyibo turned to look at Xiaozhan's expression hopeful. Even Xiaozhan was slightly taken aback by the question but he quickly regained his composure flashing his sweet ladykiller smile while saying "I am attached and I don't date my students" He flashed Wangyibo a glance sending shivers down Yibo's heart. As if the answer was meant for him. The classroom echoed with disappointed "awwwwss" especially from the female students.

Wangyibo felt pangs in his chest. his head burning.. What? what do you mean you're not single? what did you take me for when screwing me? he wondered.

For the rest of the lesson, Wangyibo's gaze couldn't leave Xiaozhan. A thousand thoughts running through his mind. It was the same guy right? He looked exactly the same but seeing him teaching in front of a class a subject which Yibo was struggling with showed Xiaozhan in a totally different light. His seriousness was one Yibo never imagined before.

As a teacher, Xiaozhan was impeccable. He structured the class and his topics well and gave real world examples and ran scenarios that kept his subject relevant and interesting. Yibo's eyes never left Xiaozhan. He kept running the passionate night's scenario in his mind. Occasionally Xiaozhan's gaze would met his but he would avert his gaze as quickly as it came. Much to his disappointment, Xiaozhan stuck to his professional conduct and paid him little heed. He waited in anticipation for lessons to be over so he could talk to his Zhange.

"Okay, thats all for today, please review the lessons at home and get ready for a test next week. Remember this is a class is pre requisite for graduation. You all need to pass this class to graduate. So please work hard and feel free to drop me a question if you don't understand anything." With that announcement, the class ended. The students were chattering as the sound of books and writing materials were being tucked away in their school bags. Yibo watched silently as Xiaozhan left the class, following him a trail of female students circling him. Giggles could be heard as they bombard him with more personal questions to which he always smiled and politely answered all of them.

After the students finally dispersed, Xiaozhan found his way to the restroom. There was no one in the restroom. He opened the tap and splashed his face with cold water. How could he lay hands on his own student? how could it be? What a strange coincidence. What was he thinking?? But hey they were supoosed to be 2 years apart in age. Then how come Yibo could be taking his class for junior year student?!? He must have lied about his age. XiaoZhan thought. He must've lied about his age. Damn, those skills in bed, he was almost convinced Yibo was at least 26 years old. To think he would run into him at this situation??what were the odds?

After washing his face, Xiaozhan looked up and saw someone handing him a towel, "thanks," Xiaozhan picked it up to wipe his face without thinking. He turned around to smile at the stranger who gave him the towel and was surprised that it was Yibo. They both looked at eachother. No one muttered a word.

"Thanks." Xiaozhan gave his best smile, handing back the towel to Yibo. He then proceeded to the door praying that Yibo would let him go but stopped his tracks when Yibo suddenly grabbed his hand. "Zhange.." Yibo muttered, his head hung low. 

The heat from his hand interlocking with his sends electric shocks and froze his being. Xiaozhan was reminded of the deed the other night and it made an uncomfortable lump in his throat. Xiaozhan sighed and said:"Come follow me."
