Morning arrived. The sun was slowly rising up in the sky. Moments later, his room filled up with the shining light of the sun. Ye suddenly woke up, gasping for air. He thought to himself, “Why is it this nightmare again..?”. He reached for his phone, looking at the time. 7:32 am in the morning. He then then realized he’s late for school. Panicking, he quickly dressed up, brushed his teeth, grabbed his bag and fleed out the door. As he was running, he had bumped into someone.

Ye: "Ouch.. Oh! I’m so sorry!" He quickly got up, giving the person a hand. He looked at him, thinking to himself “Wow...he’s so handsome..”. He snapped back to reality, bowing down, then running away, not paying attention to who the man wasm, hurrying to school.

The strange handsome man smirked. He’d look back, seeing him hurry to school. He then went into a car. He told the driver to stop at the school Ye was. He’d recently come back from his business trip, going back to his job as a teacher. Minutes later, lunch break arrived. Ye hanged out with his friends, eating lunch, as always. The bell rang, all students went back to class. He walked in his class, sitting down in his seat, looking out the window. The students were still talking. The teacher finally arrived in class, making everyone go silent, quickly sitting down in their seats. Ye looked at the teacher. They made eye contact for a short minute, before looking at his book. He realized it was the strange handsome man he had met on his way to school. The lesson ends and the students are free to leave. The teacher asked Ye to remain after class.

Ye: “Yes teacher? Is there anything you need?” He asked.

Teacher: “Oh, yes. Hello there, we’ve met on the street earlier, remember? I haven’t gotten to introduce myself. I’m Ming Zhao.” He took out his hand, reaching for a handshake.

Ye: “Ah, I figured. I’m Ye Zixi. Nice to meet you.” He gripped Ming’s hand, shaking it. He then asked “Is there anything else you need me for, teacher?”

Zhao: “Ah yes, i do need help with some files, I was hoping you could help me with them. Also, just call me Ming, or if you’d like, call me Teacher Zhao.” He put the files on the desk “Here you go.”

Ye nodded, taking the files. He then walked out, slightly blushing. Later in the evening, he completed the files that his teacher asked him to help with. He gabbed his bag, putting his books inside, along with the files.

The next day, Ye woke up with a small headache. He ignored it, getting up and going to the bathroom, brushing his teeth. He got out the bathroom, putting his school uniform on, grabbing his bag and going to school. He met his friend, Zhanzhan. She greeted him, walking along with him

Zhanzhan: “Heyy! Ye!” She quickly catched up with him, walking along “How are you lately?”

Ye: “I’ve been doing good recently, what about you and your girlfriend?” He smiled.

Zhanzhan: “Oh, me and Yeming? Hehe, we’re good, you don’t need to worry. Well? when is your boyfriend coming back? She smirked

Ye: “I don’t know yet, but don’t mention it!” He irritatedly looked at her as she giggled.

Zhanzhan: “Heehee! Come on Ye, I bet he’d love to see you!” She kept giggling.

Ye: “Ughh, I won’t deal with you now.” He hurriedly walked to school, leaving his friend behind.

Zhanzhan: “Hey! Get back here!” She ran to him, unable to catch up with him.

He laughed, running faster. “Haha! Catch me if you can, sucker!”. They finally arrived to school, sitting down in their seats. School quickly passed and Ye went to meet Zhao. He met him in his classroom, handing him the files.

Ye: “Here you go, teacher Zhao. I’ve completed them”

Zhao: “Ah, thank you dear.” He put the files on his desk, getting closer to Ye, leaning down, pinning him to the wall. “Have you been good these days?” He asked.

Ye blushed deeply, knowing it was him. His older boyfriend who’d just returned from his business trip.
