The next morning, Gu Mengmeng refused to go to school in Snakel’s car.

  Snakel didn’t insist but just sent her to the public bus stop. He then watched her board the bus, before following behind in his own sports car.

  Every stop the bus made, he followed suit.

  All the way until Gu Mengmeng alighted, and turned to see that flamboyant sports car driven by that flamboyant person. He waved at her, smiling happily.

  Gu Mengmeng just turned her head and left, pretending that she had no idea who the driver of the sports car was.

  She had just entered the school when Gu Mengmeng felt a strange vibe. Everyone seemed to be pointing and whispering at her……

  She was a nobody in school—apart from the few girls who shared the dormitory with her, no one else even knew her name. How did she suddenly become a focal point?

  Gu Mengmeng looked left and right, completely puzzled.

  She guessed it was probably because Snakel had hugged her in the classroom yesterday?

  She didn’t continue mulling over it but just hurried to class, so that she could get a spot in the corner. She laid down on the table and buried her face in the crook of her arms.

  Plagued by all sorts of thoughts last night, she had not been able to sleep at all. And now, she was so sleepy that she unwittingly fell asleep at her desk and didn’t even realize it when Snakel sat down beside her.

  Professor Zhang was taking this class and he was a traditional, old-school teacher. His motto was “respect your teacher” and was very strict about proper classroom etiquette.

  In his class, all the students had been trained to be as obedient at kindergarten children. Even your seating posture had to be proper, otherwise he would think you are disrespecting him. If so…… your graduation grade would be…… ha!

  It shouldn’t have been a big deal that Gu Mengmeng was sleeping with her head down as she was sitting right in the back corner.

  But this girl was so tired that not only was she sleeping, she was even snoring.

  Although it was very faint and sounded especially cute to Snakel, it was terribly offensive to Professor Zhang.

  He threw a piece of chalk at Gu Mengmeng, but was intercepted by Snakel in midair.

  “You……” Professor Zhang’s eyes were bulging with anger.

  Snakel slowly stood up. “She studied late into the night yesterday, so she needs her sleep now.”


  “She……” This was the first time someone had contradicted Professor Zhang and his anger was shooting through the roof.

  But Snakel didn’t give him a chance to speak and just continued. “I will personally help her catch up with the contents of today’s lesson. It will not affect the professor’s teaching performance.”


  “I……” Professor Zhang was fuming so much that the finger he had pointed at Snakel was trembling.

  Snakel chuckled. “I suggest for the professor to continue your lesson and not delay everyone’s time. And also not to affect her sleep.”


  Professor Zhang slammed the blackboard eraser on the lectern. “I will not give her a passing grade for the term!”


  Snakel slowly sat now with a chuckle. “I hope that your tenure will be able to last till the end of the term then.”


  Gu Mengmeng lifted her head in a blur, and asked sleepily, “Huh? What happened?”


  Snakel stroked her little head and covered her with his jacket. “Everything is fine, continue sleeping.”


  Still fuming and feeling trapped in an embarrassing spot, Professor Zhang just left. In the end, the teacher-less class spent the entire lesson staring at Snakel, who was in turn watching Gu Mengmeng sleep……

  The bell signaling the end of class rang. Gu Mengmeng stretched out lazily with a yawn, before realizing that Snakel was sitting beside her. She blinked. “What are you doing here?”
