A few weeks went by. Xiaozhan was alone in his office at University high when Yibo came in with his test paper. Beads of sweat could be seen rolling down his forehead. He was almost out of breath. 

He placed his test result on Xiaozhan's desk. "Laoshi.. why?? a B plus again?? thats almost like an A minus!" Yibo was almost devastated. This has been going on for the last couple tests. He had accepted the first and second without much thought. He had not been sleeping much studying his ass off for every test since then. The result was almost like a joke. The answers were almost flawless. He felt like Xiaozhan purposefully held back in giving him an A.

"Now calm down Yibo..The result is final. I have done my best grading or are you telling me I didn't do a good job?" Xiaozhan replied, slightly annoyed that Yibo was actually protesting about it. 

He knew Yibo was right and he did hold back in giving him an A. Xiaozhan did admit to himself that he liked Yibo but he did not want to date his student. In the end, he was afraid of giving the boy an A for he might be asked to go on that date with him. It would be an easier course of rejection if he did this, Xiaozhan thought.

"You've worked hard and improved Yibo, and I am proud of you" Xiaozhan smiled, trying his best to appear diplomatic.

"By the way, thank you for helping with the filing. As promised here's your salary. I'm pretty satisfied with your work so I'm gonna write off your bad credits. You don't need to worry about failing the class anymore." Zhan quickly said, trying to avoid the topic.

Xiaozhan was quite satisfied with Yibo's work. The files were organized and neatly stacked as they should be. Even the soft copies were categorized and numbered nicely enough that if a new user were to search for an article, it would be easy enough to find. He was a hard worker, organized and had a fine eye for detail.

"Laoshi.. I can't accept the salary. You've done more to help me. Please take it back."

"Its okay You earned it. I insist you keep it." Xiaozhan told him as he stood up and placed the envelope on Yibo's hand. 

Yibo's was trying to process what was happening in front of him. When he continued, "Well since that is all taken care of. You don't need to come by anymore and you can focus on your other subjects from now onwards"

Yibo was staring at him in disbelief. It felt like a huge boulder drop on his shoulder. His worst fear finally materialize. What was the meaning of this?? He could not believe that Zhanlaoshi would do such a thing to him. After he was used and cheated of his grade, now he planned to throw him away? 

It took a lot to make him angry and Xiaozhan finally hit the mark.

Xiaozhan was almost afraid of his reaction. He predicted that Yibo would be angry but not to this extent. He did do something horrible to a student but he convinced himself that it was necessary so Yibo would finally let him go. He had to do something cruel and make the boy hate him. It did not matter that he was hated. At least he would have less to worry about the whole emotional attachment thing that scared him the most.
