Fancy Me, Professor!

Shu Xian and Shi Lian walked in the campus, going towards the Teacher Education Building. The moment both of them set foot inside, all the attention was on them, well, rather…

All the attention was on Shi Lian.

"Woah, isn't she the daughter of W&S Co.?"

"I thought her studying in our university is a rumor! Turns out it's true!"

"Is that the thing that actually surprised you?"

"What!? She's studying Teacher Education?"

"Now, you're surprised!"

"I mean, yeah! Why not push with business then get MBA like how those children of owners of a company usually do?"

Shu Xian couldn't help but roll her eyes at their shameless gossiping that was enough for everyone to hear. Shi Lian paid no attention to it, still walking in the building with Shu Xian as her arm is linked with hers.

"Shi Lian is actually pretty! Her straight, jade black hair is something I want."

"Her spunky attitude is what I like, too! I mean… I've watched interviews with her and her brother, and both of them are very lively!"

"Huh… their family is open-minded like this, I see."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, look at her! She's the daughter of a famous company. She's also learning in a normal university such as this under the Teacher Education degree at that, and she's not those snobbish, prim, and proper ladies!"

"Oh, now that you point it out that way, they are liberated!"

"She's what you say a lady who's down to earth!"

"Humble, I say!"

Shu Xian couldn't help but smile. She elbowed Shi Lian, proud that she is seen as a person who can freely express herself. She couldn't agree more that people saw Shi Lian that way because it's who she really is.

She sees people equally and doesn't bother to be honest with the people around her.

"Wow, with all this, how can you not be affected?"

Shi Lian playfully rolled her eyes at Shu Xian, tugging her arm so they could walk pretty close to each other as Shi Lian is also that type of person who is super clingy to her friend—or to people she's comfortable with.

"Why should I? I get it every day!"

Shu Xian giggled, "I hope they know that you are somewhat shameless," she commented, the two of them already clicking the elevator button and waited as everyone threw subtle looks on the duo, feeling jealous that Shu Xian is close with someone like Shi Lian.

"Why do you think both of them are friends?"

"I don't know… maybe the other is rich, too?"

"Huh? I don't know her at all! She seems ordinary to me!"

"Stupid! Not all rich people can be known, too!"

"Anyway... do you think she's sucking up to Shi Lian so she could get free stuff from the company?"

"I think so! Look at her outfit! It's so simple and tacky and with Shi Lian's company having a name in fashion, maybe she is sucking up!"

"But the girl beside Shi Lian is actually not so bad."

"What do you mean?"

"Like a natural beauty. I mean, her clothes may not be the best, but she carries it so well!"

"Hmph… now that you put it that way, yeah."

"Duh! She's with Shi Lian! Obviously, she was pampered and fixed up by her."

To be honest, Shu Xian wasn't bothered by the comments they heard from other people since she knew very well to herself that as long as she knows what's true, then what other people say didn't matter.

But to Shi Lian, however, she didn't like it when her best friend is being looked down upon like this!

Yes, it didn't matter to everyone that she was being talked about, but when it comes to her friend, oh, no… she wouldn't want to hear this wrong gossips about her even though Shu Xian is not minding them!

Shi Lian was about to turn her body to look at those people behind them who were judging Shu Xian. Before she could even do it, however, Shu Xian stopped her, shaking her head at the same time as she already knew what Shi Lian wanted to do.

"No," Shu Xian mumbled, sighing at the same time. "Don't waste your time."

"Hmph…"

Shi Lian harrumphed, rolling her eyes as she felt irritated at the same time.

The moment the elevator opened, however, Shi Lian immediately went inside, grabbed Shu Xian inside with her, then blocked the entrance of the elevator as she held the door, not granting access to the other people who were waiting with them.

Shu Xian widened her eyes, "Shi Lian, what are you—"

"Anyone who spoke ill of my best friend will not be using the elevator now that we're inside. Only for today, don't worry," she said, the other students outside, gasping as some female students didn't tolerate what she did.

"Now aren't you petty! Is the elevator yours?"

Shi Lian grinned, waving her index finger in front of her face as if scolding the people before them.

"Let me tell you one thing you don't know about me," she started, the others looking at her in disbelief as they couldn't believe what they heard from Shi Lian!

"One of the things our family loves to do is funding universities. I'm enrolled here to help make a name because this university has potential! And the elevator is one of the things the money funded here."

"Wha—"

One female crossed her arms in front of her chest, finding it petty for Shi Lian to act this way.

"If you funded it, then it's for everyone's use! Now, aren't you immature to do that just because some people spoke ill of your simpleton friend!"

"Gasp! You did it again!"

Shi Lian put her hand over her mouth as she said the word "gasp" instead, rather than doing the action!

Shu Xian couldn't help but stifle her laugh as she bit her bottom lip, what Shi Lian said next irritated the group in front of them.

"I don't care if I'm immature. Go use the stairs and do reflect on the gossiping you did. I don't tolerate such judgmental people while I'm around. Buh-bye!"

With that, the elevator doors closed, Shi Lian, turning to her best friend as she furrowed her brows, not knowing where their class is.

"What floor is our classroom?"

"Oh, geez…"

Shu Xian shook her head as she laughed, pressing the button for the sixth floor. She then remembered what Shi Lian did for her when she knew that it's okay for her not to do such a thing.

However, she felt warm that her best friend protected her, making her grateful to have a best friend like her.

"You never cease to amaze me, Shi Lian."
