The gifts continued for over a month. Yibo also spent every night leaning on his bike across Xiao Zhan's apartment. He wakes up at 5 am and go to Xiao Zhan's place, leave a box and a note inside then goes back home to prepare for the day. Same thing at lunch, A random girl appears out of nowhere and give Xiao Zhan boxes.

It's also been a month since Zhan and Yibo spoke to each other. The last time they did was when they introduced themselves. That was it. The elder got used to it that he changes the rose in his room every single day. His spare room is full of empty boxes that he received and a drawer filled with small cards. Xiao Zhan felt happy, he didn't feel scared at all. Actually, he feels like someone cares for him even though that someone acts like a crazy stalker. Yes, at first he was very cautious but after a while he got used to it.

Everyday, he waits for the boxes and he did not fail to see one. Every night he wonders who its from and why do they give him these things. One time, his eyes hurts a lot and the next day, he received tons of eyedrops. There was also that time when he forgot his card key and it was already so late so he couldn't ask for a spare one, a random guy just appeared and gave him a card key from a luxurious hotel near his place.

Yibo is happy whenever he sees Xiao Zhan enjoying his gifts. Even though at first, he takes the box back because Xiao Zhan didn't take it. But, he also misses him. He doesn't want to reveal himself. He knows Xiao Zhan would definitely feel disgusted when he finds out a guy stalked him for over a month and a student on top of that.

".. and when the main lead stared into the camera, Bam! he was shot through the heart." Zanjin shared the film he watched last night to Yibo who is not listening to him. "Hm." Yibo replied, uninterested. "Hey! C'mon now, I watched this movie for you. Professor Lim said it's our task for last week's lecture." Yibo took a sip from his shake and waves his hand as he looks to the side. "I heard your brother is coming back?" Yibo glanced at his best friend and nodded. "Why? Want to get back together with him?" Zanjin immediately blushed and slapped Yibo's arm. "W-who said I want to!? I am just asking Wang Yibo!" Yibo laughed at his friend's reaction and teased him. He then accidentally looked behind Zanjin and locked eyes with his Professor Xiao.

He quickly hid and looked down, finishing his shake in a flash and dragged Zanjin out. "Wang Yibo?" Xiao Zhan followed them out. Zanjin quickly bowed and showed respect to their Professor and was about to leave when Yibo tightened his grip around Zanjin's wrist. "Yes, Professor?" Yibo asked. Zanjin couldn't believe what he was seeing and hearing. The Yibo who constantly blabbered about this first love of his is calm and respectful towards their Professor. He was expecting shyness and blushing and expressions that girls make when they see their crushes.

"When are you going to attend your classes? You missed 15 lectures this month." Xiao Zhan gripped on his hip, showing an attitude to his student. Yibo couldn't help but check the elder out. His eyes went from up to down then back up again. "Mr. Wang! I am talking to you." Zanjin decided to tease the two. "Excuse me professor, I am also in your class- Why are you asking him only?" Pointing at Yibo.

Xiao Zhan suddenly got flustered, blinking repeatedly as he redeemed himself. "Right- You too! I'll see you in tomorrow's lecture." With that, Xiao Zhan went back inside. Yibo finally breathed out, tapping his chest as he walks with Zanjin. "Did you really hold your breath until he left? That's hilarious." Yibo hissed and bumped Zanjin's shoulder. "Shut up or I'll ask Zewu to pick you up."

The next morning, the two boys did show up in Xiao Zhan's lecture. The Professor is in cloud nine as he was the first one to convince the two to attend. After two hours of teaching, he sat on his chair and watched the students walk out of the room. Yibo left first until Zanjin is the only one left, still copying the last slide. "Mr. Zhu, do you need some help with that?" Zanjin shook his head and jumped when he finally finished. "Looking good today, Professor Xiao. See you tomorrow!" Zanjin waved goodbye and ran out.

Yibo who was waiting for his slowpoke friend to finish finally entered the room again, holding a huge bouquet of red roses. "I.. Mr. Wang?" Yibo raised his hand and walked towards the elder. He shoved the bouquet on Xiao Zhan's chest and cleared his throat. "It's from Zanjin. He asked me to give it to you. There you go." Xiao Zhan looked at him, confused. "But.. he was just her-" Yibo cut him off and yelled. "GOTTA GO, BYE!"

Xiao Zhan was speechless. He didn't know what to feel. The roses are pretty special in terms of colors. It's so red.

He counted the flowers as he have some time to spare. "66.. 67... 68.. 69.." it was a bouquet of 69 roses. He saw a card peeking out so he took it and read.

"A hundred roses for you, Sunshine.
I'm going to witness your smile from now on
Please be safe when you walk home.

9426"

Xiao Zhan looked confused again. "What hundred? It's only 69.." then he remembered the roses he receives every morning. He smiled to himself and took a small index card and wrote 'I didn't take five roses, I left it in the box. You owe me.' He then stood up and left it on Zanjin's seat.
