Only for Now

Zhong Li stood in front of Shu Xian as she was fixing the books in the bookshelves. His eyes fixed on her as she animatedly spoke about the book she was currently reading.

"It's called 'The Soul Eater's Possession,'" she said, a wide grin on her face. "It's by MysticAmy and the story just flows so well. I'm completely hooked. We tried reading it together, and I do love the plot, you know?"

Zhong Li smiled at her enthusiasm, but his mind was elsewhere. He couldn't help but notice how often Shu Xian had been spending time with Professor Pan An lately.

They seemed to be getting along well, and Zhong Li couldn't shake the feeling that there was something going on between them.

As Shu Xian continued to talk about the book, Zhong Li struggled to pay attention. He was torn between his own feelings and the desire to be a good friend to Shu Xian.
