As they were waiting for the time to ring, the three were brainstorming about their homework for Assessment of Student Learning. They were talking about the different kinds of assessments and why is it helpful for both students and teachers.

Assessment is a key component of learning because it helps students learn. When students are able to see how they are doing in a class, they are able to determine whether or not they understand course material. Assessment can also help motivate students.

Just as assessment helps students, assessment helps teachers.

Some of the students are already in the class as well, discussing with their seatmates or either cramming their homework right in the morning before it is going to be submitted to the professor.

As they were waiting, Shi Lian sighed, already asking the two a question.

"What do you guys wanna have for lunch?"

"So early," Zhang Ren commented, letting out a chuckle. "It's our first subject in the morning and you're already thinking about lunch."

Shu Xian laughed, agreeing with what he said.

"Shi Lian is a foodie. Now you know this much," she commented, already propping a hand under her chin. "Anyway, I won't be eating out. I have my lunch here with me. I'll be having lunch everyday now since you-know-who has provided the house with a lot of groceries."

"Tsk!"

Shi Lian clicked her tongue, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Fine… so I'll eat with Zhang Ren?"

"Sure! But, uh…"

Zhang Ren gestured to his bag, patting it three times to tell Shi Lian something as well.

"I also bring lunch now for me to save up money."

Seeing as to both of them have brought lunches, what irked Shi Lian more and made her curious is the need for Zhang Ren to pack a lunch when he is a closet rich guy!

Shi Lian narrowed her eyes at him and whispered, "Why the hell do you need to pack a lunch when you got a freakin' black card!?"

At the same moment, the bell already rang. With the students already settling on their seats, Zhang Ren shrugged and gave Shi Lian his answer, making Shi Lian further find his answer unreasonable.

"I just want to, alright?"

"Hmph… fine. Let's all just eat at the cafeteria and I'll make do with the food there."

With that said, the professor already stepped inside of the class.

With the girls, except for Shi Lian and Shu Xian, swooning the moment they set their eyes on the professor, both of the girls now understood why they were admiring the professor, Zhang Ren, already grinning ear to ear to tease Shu Xian.

"Oho… told you, he's gonna wear the blue necktie immediately."

Pan An was wearing a black and white suit this Monday morning. His hair was combed up, making him look attractive more than ever!

Other than that, the blue necktie really accentuated the color of his suit, making him all the more attractive when people knew that this is just a simple suit worn formally by professors!

As Pan An went to the middle of the room, he looked at his students and greeted everyone that made the ladies immediately reply to him.

"Good morning, class."

"Good morning professor~!"

Shi Lian rolled her eyes at them, scoffing at the same time as she showed her disgust.

"Flirts."

With Shu Xian's eyes glued on the professor, the professor discreetly looked at her, making her heart beat fast when their eyes met for a moment.

What the professor did next however made Shu Xian widen her eyes, making her immediately blush as Zhang Ren and Shi Lian teased her.

Professor Pan An gave her a quick wink before he took the attendance sheet on the table and gave it to the first person on the first row.

"I'd like to save time, please. Do check your name on the attendance sheet and pass it around. Please be honest—my eyes are keen enough to know most of the people here with their names. If you signed your friend's name, expect demerits on both of you."

With that said, the students understood to always follow his instructions. With the professor now writing on the board, everyone waited expectantly as the attendance sheet is also being passed around the classroom.

Zhang Ren and Shi Lian looked at Shu Xian. With her slightly in a daze, Zhang Ren propped a hand under his chin and spoke, teasing Shu Xian.

"See? I have good tastes, right? He looks so well in that necktie."

"Hush!"

Shu Xian snapped her head towards him, hitting his arm.

"If you're heard about this, I wouldn't know what to do once this erupts as a rumor to the class!"

Shi Lian giggled, still admiring how the professor looks.

"But I have to admit… he does indeed look so attractive in the suit with the necktie that you gave him. Like… woah… we already know that he is popular but with him formally looking like a professor, he does have this hot professor vibes to it. I can't blame the students swooning for him."

With that said, Shu Xian just looked down on her notebook, not wanting to look at the professor.

However, when one student called the professor and attempted to make a small comment, her eyes drifted back to him, curious about Pan An's answer to the student's question.

"You're so extra handsome today, Professor Pan An! It must've been the necktie giving more oomph to your outfit?"

With Pan An turning his body to look at his student, he smiled at her and nodded, answering her question that made Shu Xian's soul almost escape her body.

"Yes. It was given by someone special since she thought of my preferences well."

"Eeeek!"

With the girls swooning over the information given to them that it was given by someone special, it made Zhang Ren and Shi Lian snicker on their seats, Shu Xian, hiding her face with both of her hands.

'Oh, geez… is he doing this on purpose to tease me or what?'
