Fancy Me, Professor!

The moment Zhang Ren and Wang Lei came out of the house, Shi Lian's older brother immediately crossed his arms in front of his chest, arching a brow at Zhang Ren.

"What are you doing?" he asked, his voice snappy. "My sister told me that she only asked a favor from you! What's with the sudden kiss?"

"Aaah…"

Seeing the overprotective brother side coming out from him, Zhang Ren embarrassingly scratched the back of his head, apologizing to him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang Lei… but to be honest, I just couldn't help it."

"What?"

With Wang Lei taking a few steps closer to Zhang Ren, he glared at him, not liking what he said.

"Are you toying with her—taking advantage of this situation?"

"N-no!"

Zhang Ren widened his eyes, shaking his head.

"I wouldn't dare, Mr. Wang Lei! Your sister, Shi Lian, she is a great girl! I wouldn't dare play around!"

"Tsk!"

Wang Lei clicked his tongue, still not convinced.

"Then, why?" Wang Lei spoke under gritted teeth. "Why did you kiss her suddenly—what do you mean when you just couldn't help it?"

"I…"

Zhang Ren didn't speak for a while. With him now looking down at their feet, Wang Lei felt that he intimidated the boy, now crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Look straight into my eyes, Zhang Ren. I want to know your sincerity."

With Zhang Ren somehow scared with Wang Lei's words and actions, he looked up to him slowly, staring straight into his eyes.

"By what I couldn't help it… I mean… I find myself being attracted to your little sister—finding her somehow irresistibly cute."

Wang Lei arched a brow at him and asked, "Somehow?"

"No… not somehow, but… really. Let me rephrase: really, irresistibly cute."

When Zhang Ren said this, Wang Lei didn't say a word for a while, now sighing as he got his keys from his pocket and opened the doors, gesturing for Zhang Ren to go inside.

"We'll further talk in the car. Get in."

"Yes, right."

As Zhang Ren entered in the passenger's seat, he put his seatbelt on, Wang Lei, getting inside the driver's seat and putting on his seatbelt, too. As the car then roared to life, Wang Lei started driving, both of them silent for a few minutes before Zhang Ren asked a question.

"Put the address in the GPS."

"Oh, yes."

With him given permission to touch his GPS, Zhang Ren put his address in, making Wang Lei arch a brow and made a comment as he saw how slightly far his house is—even living in an apartment.

"You're rich. Why live in an apartment that is far from the university?"

"I have my reasons, Mr. Wang Lei. I want solitude," he answered, making Shi Lian's older brother chuckle with what he heard.

"I'm sorry for the questions earlier," he started, Zhang Ren, listening to him. "I have never met my sister interact so much with a guy—you may have been her first kiss."

With this said, Zhang Ren blinked his eyes a few times, now feeling guilty.

"W-wait… she really meant it when she said that she had never tried liking someone? I thought that was a joke. I mean… I didn't believe her because she's pretty and…"

Not wanting to offend Wang Lei, he just stopped there, Wang Lei, sighing as he spoke for his little sister.

"My sister has always been all play and discovering herself. If I'm not set on becoming a CEO, then she would be unfortunate to have lived a life that she doesn't want. So I'm glad that this is my dream—so Shi Lian could experience the things that she always wanted. But to her, love is out of her vocabulary."

Hearing Wang Lei say this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but smile. With him looking straight at the road, he commented on what he said, making Wang Lei smile.

"It's rare for a family to be like this, Mr. Wang Lei. Shi Lian is lucky to have an older brother whom she can trust."

Wang Lei scoffed, continuing to drive on the road that the GPS is showing.

"I know. I spoil her rotten—she's like our little princess."

With that said, he looked at Zhang Ren briefly from the corner of his eye and said something that made Zhang Ren laugh.

"And I don't care if you're the grandson of legendary Mr. Chen. If you played my sister, I would crush you right here and then."

Zhang Ren laughed with Wang Lei. With him now ceasing from his laughter, Zhang Ren commented on what Wang Lei said, not minding it.

"It's alright. If I were in your position, I'd do that, too."

The drive went silent for a minute. With Zhang Ren looking outside the window, he sighed, further telling Wang Lei what he thought of Shi Lian, reassuring him that he won't ever take advantage of her.

"You don't have to worry, Mr. Wang Lei," he started, Shi Lian's older brother listening to him. "Shi Lian and her best friend, Shu Xian, are the only friends that I have recently. I wouldn't dare do anything bad to them," he added, Wang Lei, furrowing his brows as he wondered aloud.

"Why are they your only friends when you stayed here for quite some time now?"

Zhang Ren didn't answer for a while. With him turning his head to look at Wang Lei, a sad smile appeared on his face, his answer slightly surprising Wang Lei, making him pity on Zhang Ren.

"Depression made it hard for me, Mr. Wang Lei. It is the reason why I stayed away from Country S and came here to live peacefully. I'm trying my best to cope still—and maybe making friends would help me."

Wang Lei stopped driving. With him hearing this, he looked at Zhang Ren, finding sincerity in his words. With him reaching out to him to touch his shoulder, Zhang Ren blinked his eyes a few times, curious about his simple gesture.

"Y-yes, Mr. Wang Lei?"

"Call me Wang Lei," he replied, giving Zhang Ren a small smile. "It's okay for you not to tell me this much. As long as your intentions are good and true, I won't question your ways—just… my sister, Shi Lian… don't take advantage of her naiveté in love."
