I continued to leer at Xun even as I sipped on my water. Why did he keep teasing me?

He would hate it if I did that to him.

An impish smiled dotted my face. Maybe that was what I had to do...

"Hey, Xun. What do you think of a teacher liking his ex student?"

Olivia gasped. "You like an ex-student of yours?"

Xun smiled. "He's speaking of hypotheticals. Zhuang, you should know better than to say such things around Olivia. The girl has quite the imagination."

Jason laughed. "Yeah, she's very creative."

Olivia grumbled. "Why did you go from teasing Elliot to me?"

"Want to team up?" I whispered.

Olivia turned to look at me and smiled.

"I want to join too!" Keith said, grinning. "Teasing is what I do."

Thalia put a hand to her forehead. "This carriage is full of children. Even the adult doesn't act like one."

Xun blushed. He cleared his throat. "You're right. Kids, behave."

I smirked. Thanks, Thalia.

"Only if you do, Mr. Adult," I said.

Xun smiled. "I will, but how about you?"

Alex sighed. "Why do I feel like there's two Nates here?"

"Your brother?" Olivia asked.

"Yes, he is no better than these two. Mess with him he'll retaliate back all while wearing a smile. It's rather scary."

I laughed. "Xun's the most like that. You saw how mad he got when I called him a nerd."

Xun cleared his throat. "What was that, Zhuang?" he asked as he adjusted his glasses.

I gulped. "S-see?"

"Yeah," Isabella mumbled.

Xun sighed and closed his eyes. "Being the only adult is hard."

Thalia side eyed him. "How I feel most of the time."
