After she finally finished her breakfast, she was about to rush out with her school bag but was stopped again by Li Jingran.

“Wait a minute.”

Xu Wanwan looked at the time on the wall helplessly and turned back reluctantly. “What’s the matter?”

“I’ll walk you out.” Li Jingran picked up his coat from the back of the chair and got up to walk toward the door.

Xu Wanwan wanted to refuse, but she didn’t want to waste time, so she followed him without much thought.

She got in the car and looked at the time. She wouldn’t make it for her first major class.

The professor would definitely lose his temper when she gets to the classroom.

Xu Wanwan had been on tenterhooks the whole way, so when she got out of the car, she didn’t even have time to greet Li Jingran. She rushed into the school gate with her school bag.

Li Jingran looked at the girl’s anxious back and smiled. He was in a good mood.

When Xu Wanwan rushed to the classroom, the professor was giving a lecture. The seats below were filled with people, and no one seemed to be late.

On the first day of school, she had heard that the professor for this major class was particularly strict. In addition, he was experienced in teaching, so no one dared to be late or leave his class early.

Xu Wanwan stood at the door and took a few deep breaths. As if resigned to her fate, she knocked on the door.

The entire classroom instantly quieted down, and the students below all looked over in unison.

Lin Jianan, who was sitting in the corner, could not help but break out in a sweat.

Wanwan was probably done for this time. She had offended such a powerful professor just a few days after the start of the school year. How was she going to survive in the future, ah?

A few girls in class started gloating.

“The top Science student is really amazing. How dare she be late for this professor’s class? Let’s see how she will be kicked out of the classroom later.”

“Just now, Li Xuyi was late and was scolded by the professor. I really don’t know where this Xu Wanwan got her guts. She wouldn’t think that her good grades would stop her from being scolded, would she?”

“That’s called asking for trouble. Let’s just wait and see.”

Professor Chen, with a textbook between his elbows, pushed up his glasses in place. When he saw Xu Wanwan’s face clearly, he immediately beamed. “Come in quickly.”

Xu Wanwan was a little surprised and took a few tentative steps inside.

Seeing that Professor Chen didn’t seem to be angry, she finally relaxed and walked inside the classroom.

When the students below saw the professor’s reaction, they felt that it was unbelievable.

They were both late, so why was the professor treating Xu Wanwan so well?

Li Xuyi was even more unconvinced. He stood up and questioned coldly, “Professor Chen, don’t tell me you don’t know that Xu Wanwan is late?”

He was only two minutes late, but he had been lectured by the professor. Xu Wanwan was half an hour late, so she should be kicked out of the classroom no matter what.

Professor Chen’s voice went deep. “Xu Wanwan’s parents had called me in advance. There’s a reason for this, so I’m not considered late.”

Li Xuyi’s face turned arctic, spearing Xu Wanwan with an unfriendly look.

“Hmph, I really don’t know whose authority is backing you up, even notifying the professor in advance when you were late.”

Xu Wanwan walked past Li Xuyi and heard his sarcastic remark. She bit her lip and did not refute him.

She thought it was strange. She had never seen Professor Chen before, let alone had his contact information.

However, Professor Chen said that her parents had called. Could it be Li Jingran?

As she was thinking, Lin Jianan tapped her desk and whispered, “Wanwan, I was scared to death just now.”

“You didn’t know, but Li Xuyi was also late before you, but he was almost kicked out of the classroom by the professor. I thought you were going to…”

Xu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and took the book out of her bag. “I was also quite scared when I came in.”

Fortunately, the professor did not angry today. Otherwise, she would have a hard time in the future.

The class finally ended. Xu Wanwan closed her book and rubbed her sore neck. Just when she was about to take a rest, Professor Chen walked toward her.

“Xu Wanwan, right?” Professor Chen was dressed plainly and exuded a scholarly aura, but his voice was sonorous and powerful.

Xu Wanwan quickly got up. “Hello, Professor.”

“Well, don’t be nervous.” Professor Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, “Come out for a moment. I want to talk to you.”

Xu Wanwan could not help but clutch the corner of her clothes, feeling nervous.

Could it be that this professor had deliberately given her face just now, and now he called her out to settle the score afterward?

Xu Wanwan sighed lightly and could only follow the professor outside.

Lin Jianan gave Xu Wanwan a “good luck” look and then watched her leave.

In a corridor outside the classroom, Professor Chen, with an amiable expression, put a few books on the steps of the railing. “Is Li Jingran okay?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned for a second. “You are…”

“What, he didn’t tell you?” Professor Chen was surprised for a second. “I’m his teacher.”

A trace of surprise appeared in Xu Wanwan’s eyes. She said seriously, “Mr. Li is very good. He works hard and manages the Li Group very well.”

Professor Chen looked proud. “I knew this kid would not let me down. He is indeed worthy of being a student I’ve once admired the most.”

“Oh right, he called me today and said he’s your family. What kind of family member are you?”

When Professor Chen said this, his usual seriousness was gone, and there was a hint of gossip in his expression.

Xu Wanwan’s palms became covered with a layer of sweat. She stammered, “I…am not related to Mr. Li by blood.”

“That’s what I thought.” Professor Chen laughed. “That kid, Li Xuyi, is his younger brother. I’ve never heard of him having a sister.”

“In that case, you two are lovers?”

Xu Wanwan immediately shook her head and denied it. “No!”

Professor Chen seemed to have seen through her. He smiled and said, “Alright, I got it. If you need anything in school in the future, you can look for me.”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head. “Yes, Professor Chen.”

“Alright, go back to class. Remember not to be late next time.”

Xu Wanwan nodded obediently and watched the professor leave before returning to the classroom with a complicated expression.

“Wanwan, were you scolded?” Lin Jianan saw that her expression was not good and comforted her. “It’s alright. Li Xuyi was scolded even worse just now. At least the professor still gave you face.”

“This is even worse than getting scolded.” Xu Wanwan sighed softly.

After being scolded for a while, she would be able to forget about it. However, the professor had misunderstood her relationship with Li Jingran.

Lin Jianan patted her shoulder. “Alright, don’t feel bad. I have good news for you.”

“What good news?” Xu Wanwan was not interested.

“Yesterday, when I was running for class monitor, the counselor saw that you were not around, so he postponed it to today.” Lin Jianan said, “There are a few girls in the class who are dissatisfied, but I think you can definitely be elected as class monitor.”

Xu Wanwan: “I don’t really want to be the class monitor.”

“Why? I think being the class monitor is very good. You can have more management experience, and when looking for a job in the future, you will have more advantages.”

“I still have a lot of things to do, so I don’t have time.” Xu Wanwan said after giving it serious consideration..
