Summary
Step 1: Risk your spot on the basketball team by failing a class.
Step 2: Flirt with your tutor to try to fix it.
Step 3: Flunk the flirting and the quiz.
Step 4: Accidentally fall for said tutor, who looks like he hasn't smiled since dinosaurs went extinct.Cheng Xiaoshi didn't plan on catching feelings. He just wanted to pass statistics so he wouldn't get benched from the basketball team. But now, he’s plotting regression equations and calculating the trajectory of Lu Guang’s perfect shoulders— and one of them is certainly his preferred variable in this equation.
Or, Star Basketball Player: Cheng Xiaoshi’s got a kink for hot nerdy tutors.

Summary
You weren't a technician, you weren't a security guard, you weren't a daycare assistant. You're just an employee. Staff. The ‘jack-of-all-trades’ employee with mediocre at best skills and specialty in none, tasked with doing miscellaneous jobs that robots couldn't do and human staff couldn't care to. The job is unpredictable, but it pays good and it's relatively easy.
Except for the part where all the animatronics are more sentient than you thought, and you're roped into a mystery surrounding the Daycare Attendants, who are bit too curious about you for your liking.
You don't think this was in your employee contact.

Summary
“In the nineteenth century,” Keating said, softer now, “there existed a practice called floriography — the language of flowers. It allowed people to speak when they were forbidden to. To be honest when honesty was unsafe.”
His gaze drifted, not accidentally, toward the back of the room.
“For extra credit,” he added, smiling, “I’d like you to find one of these lost languages. Learn it. Translate something personal. Something you’ve never quite known how to say.”
