What Game?

The same day, in the evening, Krish was sitting alone on the school garden bench, thinking deeply about the next plan.

The presence of someone's shadow directly under his feet earned his attention. That was Geng Xi, with a questionable gaze.

"What are you trying to do with Chang Xin?"

He asked informally, angrily, starting at Krish.

"I'm your teacher. Watch your tone!" Krish cautioned him.

"But your action doesn't seem like that!" Geng Xi roared with a raspy voice.

"What did I do?"

"Aren't you trying to force Chang Xin to love me?" Geng Xi asked directly, without any hesitation.

Krish replied the same, "Yes!"

"Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"

Krish stood up. "I don't," he said, walking past him once after repeating the warning, "I'm your teacher; watch your tone!"

Geng Xi veered around towards him and said with a raised voice, "You watch your behaviour towards Chang Xin. I will do mine then."

Krish offered a thumbs up, walking straight to the school building, showing his backside.

In the last period of Krish's class, in the middle of the lecture, Fanqia asked Chang Xin, "Did you do anything wrong to Mr. Krish? Why is he pointing at you?"

"Huh?" Chang Xin gave a baffled look and was extremely puzzled to see Fanqia's finger pointing towards the blackboard. She then rolled her eyes to check out.

That was Krish with his index finger pointing at her, saying, "Stand up!"

With a perplexed look on her face, she stood up.

"Go out!"

Chang Xin was like, "What?"

"Don't you hear me?"

"But-"

"Sir, what wrong she did do to stand outside?"

Geng Xi overtook Chang Xin's question voluntarily.

"Both stand outside!" Krish commented vehemently.

Tugging out an irate sigh, Chang Xin went outside. Geng Xi followed her, giving a chloric glaze directly at Krish, who began to continue taking lessons as if he didn't care about their feelings.

Chang Xin and Geng Xi both came out.

Geng Xi tried to ask, "Why is he-"

"Why the hell do you meddle with my business?"

She raged fervently before that, causing Geng Xi's face to wither instantly and also shutting his mouth.

Then Chang Xin stood outside, and Geng Xi frowned at the random place instead of showing it to her.

The long bell rang.

Krish came out. Ordering, "Follow me!" he headed to the staff room.

Thereafter, both Chang Xin and Geng Xi followed him to the staff room.

There, Krish leaned against the writing table, crossing his hands across his chest as Chang Xin and Geng Xi came standing in front of him.

"What have you been doing without listening to my class?" he inquired Chang Xin.

"You already punished me; I don't have a reason to tell you that." She appeared to be bold, as if she hadn't done anything wrong.

Krish couldn't believe her confidence and scoffed, "What?"

He then switched his gaze to Geng Xi. "Do you love Chang Xin?"

That question earned a frown from Chang Xin and confused Geng Xi.

"Did I mishear him?" Geng Xi thought to himself, clueless.

"Do you love Chang Xin?" Krish repeated himself.

"What? Why do you ask this suddenly?" Geng Xi whispered in fear of Chang Xin's death stare, which would be a reaction from Chang Xin if Geng Xi agreed to Krish's question. However, Geng Xi'd hush was enough audible to Chang Xin since they were standing with inch capes.

"Are you also afraid of this girl?" Krish asked scornfully and laughed.

"This girl?"

Chang Xin appeared to be getting furious, unlike earlier.

"Fear? Y-yes. Maybe." Geng Xi consented to his true self, but with a stammered voice.

"So you still love her?" Krish repeated, looking at Chang Xin, who was deliberately staring at the ground to avoid Krish's gaze.

Geng Xi waving his hand in the air and whispering to shit his mouth. Nevertheless, Krish's focus was on embarrassing Chang Xin.

"You can go now," Krish said.

Chang Xin stepped in front to leave.

"Geng Xi, you can go now." Krish corrected his words.

Chang Xi laid back as Geng Xi hesitated to leave the place.

"I told you to leave," Krish reminded him.

"Okay," Geng Xi bowed and left the staff room half-heartedly. His concerns were in the regretful eyes of Chang Xin, who knowingly avoided Geng Xi.

Thereafter, Krish backed up his things. Other staff left the staff room one by one. Liu Yifei came sitting weary, announcing, "I'm tired of lecturing, Krish. Can you give me some energy?"

Chang Xin's eyes wrinkled instantly. Before she pierced her look directly at Liu Yifei, Krish embedded her face onto his chest and replied, "There is a drink on your table."

Only then did Liu Yifei capture a shadow of someone standing next to Krish and realise there was a third person inside the staff room.

Krish then released Chang Xin and settled in his seat.

Just when Liu Yifei looked at that third person, Chang Xin was standing next to his chair, staring down at the floor.

"What is Chang Xin doing here?" Yifei asked, picking up the coffee cup.

"Go and come back with your school bag," Krish said, typing something on the computer.

Liu Yifei glared at her, sipping coffee, until she left the staff room. Thereafter, she came to Krish's table, gave a cautious gaze at the computer screen, and found Krish was applying to a relay race.

"Did you ask your students already about this?"

"I monitored," Krish replied professionally.

"How?" Yifei answered her question.

"I did some checking while playing, nothing more," Krish replied like a professional, again irritating her without reason.

"Why do you keep politely talking with me? Be more friendly." Yifei requested, pointing out his variety in the voice tone.

"Do I?" Krish asked, looking at her innocently as if he hadn't a clue about his mistake.

Liu Yifei assured, "Yes!"

"I don't think so," he said shortly, continuing to focus on the computer screen.

Her friends were waiting in front of the classroom for her, as Chang Xin was backing her school. Once she came outside, Geng Xi shoved Fanqia towards Chang Xin and stopped her from crossing them.

"Aren't you coming with us?" Asked Fanqia.

"You guys go first. That muscle man seemed to have another plan to win the game," Chand Xin responded with displeasure and thought to herself, "After all, your houses were all in the same direction, unlike my lonely small palace."

Geng Xin shoved Suillin towards her, who was sighting a sexy girl who crossed them.

"What game?" Asked Suillin.

Scanned Chang Xin's silent, mixed mood, Fanqia acted instantly.

"That's between them. Let's go!"

Fanqia dragged both Suillin and Geng Xi out of Chang Xin's sight.
