[Third Person]

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Students and Professors, The orientation will start in 15 minutes." A voice echoed in the whole campus with the help of the speakers. Xiao Zhan fixed his desk and leaned back to stretch before standing up and heads to the Orientation room.

(Xiao Zhan)

Meanwhile, all students are chattering while walking to their destination. "I heard there's a new professor that came from the most prestige university in the world." One student asked the other why the professor decided to transfer to a lower ranked university. "Well, I don't really know."

Wang Yibo, A performing arts student reached for his cap and wore it before walking out of the practice room where he was dancing for the last 3 hours. "Hey, bro!" ZanJin, Yibo's senior also his best friend wrapped his arm around the younger's waist and leaned his cheek on Yibo's shoulder. (He's shorter) "Zan, what are you doing here?" Yibo asked, walking side by side with his friend. "I'm also a student in this department. Have you eaten? You've been here since what? 5:30 am?" Zanjin stopped Yibo from walking and gave him a sandwich and a bottle of peach juice. "Here."

(At the Orientation Room)

All students gathered in the huge space, professors and others are there as well. Xiao Zhan as a higher ranked professor, sat on the first row while Yibo and Zanjin sat on the middle row, calmly eating and watching the people who walks by.

"Everyone. Welcome! Today, we all welcome you to ***** University. We congratulate each and everyone of you for securing your future ........ Thank you." (Use your imagination for the head's speech. ✌🏻)

"Well, that was boring." Yibo said, crossing his legs as he ignores the eyes that are glued on him. (His admirers) "Shush. There's still the introduction of staffs and their best students and stuff like that." Zanjin wiped Yibo's mouth corner with his thumb. "Please look presentable, and take that off!" Yibo frowned and took off his cap, revealing his styled hair. Zanjin took the cap and placed it on his lap, listening and waiting for his friend to be called.

"Lastly, our new professor who came from ******* University. Please give a warm welcome to Mr. Xiao Zhan." The professor stood up, fixing his coat and smiled brightly causing everyone to cheer. Indeed, his smile is gorgeous and unforgettable. "Thank you." Xiao Zhan bowed and waved at his future students. Yibo leaned in, making sure he is not mistaken. "Hey." Zanjin hummed in response. "That new professor- He is the one I'm telling you about." Zanjin frowned and leaned in as well, gasped and looked at Yibo. "Your first love!?" Yibo covered his friend's mouth as it was attracting too much attention.

Girls are murmuring things like "Yibo liked someone?" "Impossible." "This is not fair!" Yibo glared at his friend and focused on Xiao Zhan's direction. For a few seconds, They locked eyes and Yibo felt the same the first time they locked eyes 4 years ago. "Beautiful." Yibo commented.

As if Xiao Zhan heard Yibo, his cheeks turned reddish pink. He rubbed his nape and sat properly, calming his racing heartbeat. "What was that?"

It was already 4 in the afternoon and Yibo is fixing his things to get ready. He has a racing practice at 5. He's a racer representing a huge motorbike brand. "Senior Yibo.." A beautiful freshman stopped him from walking out of the practice room. "What is it?" Yibo asked, making sure she gets that he is not interested in what she is going to say. "I.. I.. Please be my boyfriend!" The beautiful girl bowed while handing a medium sized box. Yibo smirked and walked out, ignoring and humiliating the girl infront of his classmates. "Dream on." was the last words he said before shutting the door close.

Xiao Zhan was instructed to take a look around and familiarize himself with the University's floor plan. "Good Afternoon, Professor Xiao." Girls squealing as he smiled at them, greeting back and waving at his future students. "Have a good day." Xiao Zhan said and continued to peek at every rooms. "Yibooooo!" A short cute man ran towards a tall one while waving a cap. Xiao Zhan chuckled at the silliness of the boys and was about to walk away when a deep voice called his name. "Xiao Zhan?" He turned around to look at the person who called him and saw the tall boy. "Yes, Hi." He greeted. "I'm Wang Yibo." The younger extended his hand, waiting for Xiao Zhan to take it and shake.

Xiao Zhan looked confused. Why? Because normally students don't shake a professor's hand. "Well, I'll make sure to remember your name." Xiao Zhan shook Yibo's hand. "And that's Professor Xiao for you, young man." As much as he hates to discipline his future students, he can't help but feel cautious around people who calls his name directly. Especially his students. "I'm sorry. I am not mistaken and I will never be. You're Xiao Zhan, I'm Wang Yibo. I'm introducing myself as a man and not a student." Xiao Zhan frowned, crossing his arms. He can't believe this kid. "Yibo, what are you still doing!? You're late!" Yibo glanced at his watch and ran away without even greeting. "Oh shit."

The professor looked back, staring at Yibo who is running away. "Weird." He said and sighs. "Kids these days are too bold in front of their professors." Xiao Zhan walked back to his office and took off his coat, sitting on his swivel chair and faced the huge window behind him. "Wang Yibo huh?"
