Did you ever have a crush on a teacher when you were a student?
Cen Songwan did. The person at the lectern was gentle and refined, and one glance was enough to show how far out of reach she was.
But... things didn't seem to go the way Cen Songwan had imagined.
During a break in class not long after the new term began, Cen Songwan was called in for a private talk. "I've figured you out. You're pretending to be a good girl in front of me, aren't you?"
Cen Songwan grinned slyly. "No way! I'm always the best at listening to my teacher!"
From then on, the two began their covert little battle of wills, until Cen Songwan accidentally let something slip and the little rabbit in disguise finally showed her fox's tail.
"That's because I like..."
"Like? Do you even know what it means to like someone?" Pei Zhiyu was drunk, her words rolling slowly over her tongue, every syllable steeped in alcohol.
Pei Zhiyu pinned Cen Songwan against the wall and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek.
Cen Songwan couldn't sleep. She didn't know whether Pei Zhiyu would remember it. This love felt too heavy, heavy enough to crush someone.
She had hidden her feelings well, except for the words that caught in her throat, like a cold, bitter autumn rain.
Years later, Pei Zhiyu sat down in her office as usual, only to feel someone tap her shoulder. "Teacher, I'm your new colleague!" Pei Zhiyu was dazed. Six years had passed in a flash.
Pei Zhiyu was about to go crazy. Nobody had told her this girl was like a dog. Cen Songwan smiled and bit the tip of Pei Zhiyu's finger. "Older sister? Teacher? Shh, of course I'm always the best at listening to my teacher!" The room was left filled with lingering tenderness.

My writing isn't the best, so please be kind. This isn't really a teacher-student story; Cen Songwan is the only one with a one-sided crush, so there will be a reunion after a breakup.
