As Shu Xian continued staying in the Chief Librarian’s office for a chat, Wang Fang diverted the talk with her moving out soon. 

“So, since the place is prepared already, the moving process is the only thing that’s missing. Do you have a lot to pack?”

“No,” Shu Xian said, shaking her head at the same time. “I only have a few personal things like my clothes and my stuff for university. And of course, my dog.”

“Then, alright,” Wang Fang said, nodding approvingly as she let out a sigh of relief knowing that she is good to go. “You need a week to be with your boyfriend first before moving out?”

Shu Xian blushed. With just a single nod coming from her, Wang Fang couldn’t help but laugh out loud, wanting to tease her further. 

“Oh, young love… I could really see you unable to part with him. It’s normal to feel in the beginning, but I wonder what would happen sooner or later once you date longer.”

Shu Xian arched a brow at her, quite curious with what she said. 

“You mean to say… that once the relationship gets longer, that we will get used to each other and may not be this… sweet or passionate?”

“Maybe?” Wang Fang shrugged. “No one will be able to tell. Most relationships are like that, but it still depends on the couple,” she added, Shu Xian now curious about her as her question made Wang Fang cough with how unexpected it is. 

“Have you already tired dating, Miss Wang Fang?”

Wang Fang kept fanning herself. With her getting warmer as she felt embarrassed about herself since she didn’t know how to answer Shu Xian’s question, she continued coughing.

Shu Xian then stood up and walked to her side, now giving her pats on her back to calm her down. 

“Uh… Miss Wang Fang?”

Wang Fang then drowned in her own thoughts. With Shu Xian’s question still ringing in her mind as it was recently said, she held up one finger asking for a moment, also formulating an answer. 

To be honest, Wang Fang had never dated anyone before! With her already nearing her thirties and not even experiencing being courted by anyone with being such a workaholic, she wondered what she could say to Shu Xian!

She commented about her relationship and even gave her advice! With her being asked if she ever had an experience, then Shu Xian might wonder why she’s giving advice when even a young girl as her now experienced being in a relationship!

Heck, Shu Xian is obviously more experienced than her now! How can she tell Shu Xian about this?

Well, she knew that the young lady is indeed warm and sweet—not a type of person to judge anyone. 

However, still, she worried about her sisterly image that both of them just recently formed so instead, she concealed her uneasiness in her smile, talking to her in the best way she thought. 

“Well… I will have to tell you about that sooner or later but for now, my love life is a secret~!” she said, letting out a wink at the same time. 

As Shu Xian saw nothing hidden in that gesture, she just nodded and then understood, now standing up as she got her small box of cake. 

“Thank you for everything and also for the cake, Miss Wang Fang.”

She then carried the small box of cake and then proceeded to leave the office. 

“I will share it with Pan An at home and will tell him about the plan.”

“Alright,” Wang Fang said, internally sighing in relief as Shu Xian no longer probed further about her love life. “I’m glad you liked the cake.”

And with that, Shu Xian already left the office, Wang Fang now standing up as she did a stretch, now relaxed that Shu Xian and her were no longer talking about her love life. 

***

“Woah! Is that cake for us?”

“No!”

Shu Xian immediately set aside the cake on her side of the table and stuck out her tongue at Zhang Ren. 

“This is mine—Miss Wang Fang gave it to me! I will share this with Pan An.”

“Right.”

Zhang Ren scoffed, his joke making Shu Xian blush as she imagined it.

“You’re just gonna waste it if you plan to be playful with Pan An on bed and then smother it on his chest and start to lick him.”

With Shu Xian silent for a while, Zhang Ren immediately knew why she was quiet. With him widening his eyes in surprise, he immediately chuckled silently, making sure that he won’t disturb the students studying in the library. 

“Hey… I was joking and you’re already thinking about naughty stuff like this?”

Shu Xian just said nothing and narrowed her eyes at him. With her sitting down on her swivel chair, Zhang Ren then continued typing the synopsis of the researches, Shu Xian now getting her phone to text Pan An.

Her text read: I only have a week left before I move out.

With her text sounding so formal, the moment Pan An immediately read it while he is in the faculty room, he immediately excused himself and went to the conference room so he could be alone. 

He stared at her text for a moment, not knowing what to say. With him feeling sad about the thought of his girlfriend leaving soon, he let out a sigh, replying to her message with what he thought was best. 

His text read: Don’t worry. It would only mean that we have to make the most of it. Besides, you will leave across my house.

Shu Xian smiled slightly when she read his message. With her putting her phone at the side, at the same time, Shi Lian came to visit them, already giving Zhang Ren a flying kiss. 

“So… wanna have dinner later, just the three of us?”

Zhang Ren and Shu Xian nodded immediately.. With Shu Xian also telling them that she will have to announce something important about her moving out, the three thought it was best to have a dinner out together before heading home.
