Xu Qingying, wake up

Xu Wanqiao grasped her hand under the table, but she, with red eyes, shook it off forcefully

Seeing Xu Qingying, who was indifferent beside her, Xu Wanqiao simply exerted force to pull her away from the seat, continuously squeezing forward through the aisle, and finally arrived in front of Professor Qi, who was packing up and preparing to leave.

"I say, how can you casually take someone else's things? Hurry up and return it to me. You wasted my time and got me scolded by the professor, can you bear the consequences?" Xu Qingying snatched the class schedule and, after confirming the time for the rhetoric class the day after tomorrow, felt a bit troubled: what's going on, it’s actually so early again. According to her agent Jin Bei, she had to practice all night for the next few nights before going on stage, but she still hadn't finished the rhetoric assignment.

Xu Qingying's explanation was stuck in her throat like this

"Xu Wanqiao, did you forget to take your medicine before going out today? Just turn right when you leave your own school, and don't delay my important matters." Xu Qingying snatched her backpack from his hands and began rummaging through it. Strange, she clearly remembered stuffing her things into the bag before the rehearsal, so why couldn't she find them?

Everyone thinks he is a pampered young master, but only Xu Qingying knows the terrible soul hidden beneath his appearance. After all, their fateful connection has been established since kindergarten

What is a friend? Can it be eaten? Xu Wanqiao, who was shivering all over, suddenly made a cold joke, catching Xu Qingying off guard and causing her to shudder involuntarily. She knew there was no room for negotiation, and couldn't help but make a face at the car window.

Xu Qingying was being pulled by Xu Wanjiao, and with one hand, she took out her sunglasses from her bag and put them on. The classic black oversized frames immediately covered most of her face, making her features appear even more delicate and refined, while her overall demeanor became strikingly elegant.

What do you think you are doing? Coming to my classroom to disturb my lesson, do you know that I am very busy?

The morning at Gyeongnam University begins with students gradually participating in exercise. On the southern playground near the main entrance of the school, boys dressed in red and white basketball uniforms are practicing with basketballs. Not far away, on the rubber track, students wearing earplugs and sportswear are running, while an elderly man, clapping his hands and listening to the broadcast, is walking around the playground

Ah... what are you doing?" Xu Wanqiao asked in a low voice to the culprit beside her

In the fleeting moment of passing by, Xu Qingying seemed to hear the sound of a girl's heart shattering into pieces

Professor Qi took the paper, examined it carefully, noting that the arguments were well-founded and the sources credible. It was evident that a great deal of effort had been put into it, and his tone softened: "In that case, Xu Qingying, you must maintain this standard, but you cannot sleep or speak in class anymore."

"Student Xu, I hope you will not delay your classmates' class time any further," Professor Qi said before continuing with the lecture

Are you looking for this

I will not roll

And the person who truly should not be in the classroom is now sitting openly beside her, not even casting a glance in her direction

Is it still possible to sleep? Xu Qingying, dissatisfied, raised her hand and slapped it heavily against her cheek: "Smack!"

The sound interrupted Professor Qi's lecture, and for a moment, the classroom was so quiet that one could only hear the sound of the curtains being blown by the wind

"Alright, thank you, Professor." This is ... ? ... forgiven. ? Xu Qingying found it somewhat hard to believe

Xu Qingying then turned to look at the person beside her. He seemed to carry the fresh scent of dew from the morning, dressed in a simple light blue denim jacket paired with a black base shirt, complemented by military green camouflage pants and black Martin boots. He looked as if he had stepped right out of a fashion magazine.

"Stop wasting words with strangers, get in the car quickly," Xu Wanqiao said mercilessly from inside the car, causing Lin Wanwan, whose complexion had just improved, to burst into tears.

Professor Qi glanced at the two individuals sitting upright and then turned around to continue his lecture

Xu Qingying quietly glanced at the person beside her who seemed to be focused on driving, and simply shifted down a bit, letting herself slump into the passenger seat. After all, there was still half an hour until they got home, so it should be fine to doze off for a little while...

As the steering wheel turned, Xu Qingying, who had just fastened her seatbelt, couldn't help but grip the armrest of the window tightly. She felt a deep sadness within her; was it just boasting about wanting to be the "Star of Learning"? How had she offended him?

As soon as Professor Qi's words left his mouth, Xu Qingying couldn't help but raise her head, speaking in a somewhat flustered tone: "Professor, I... I didn't mean to, my grades..."

The aftereffects of an all-night rehearsal gradually emerged, the brief period of wakefulness slowly faded away, and Xu Qingying's mind became chaotic, as if she had sunk into a soft cloud, with the desk beneath her feeling like it was covered in a layer of cotton, incredibly comfortable

As the soothing sound of breathing filled the air, Xu Wanqiao couldn't help but glance at the person who had already fallen into a deep slumber

He shook his head helplessly, gently scratched her delicate nose, and took out the rhetoric textbook from her bag

"Student Xu, making unilateral decisions like this can easily lead to losing friends, do you understand?" Xu Qingying protested cautiously

After carefully checking her makeup, Xu Qingying straightened her posture, recalling the requirements of her physical education teacher, and tried her best to walk gracefully and elegantly. The red cloak resembled an alluring flame, firmly capturing the attention of passersby. After receiving the expected whistle from the edge of the playground, Xu Qingying finally turned with satisfaction and walked into the teaching area

You ... ... get lost!

There are ten minutes left until the end of class, and I ask both of you to maintain this posture until class is over. As for the usual score of student Xu Qingying, I will handle it at my discretion

I am willing

I am responsible, I am responsible! If the professor does not give you an A at the end of the term, I will accompany you to his doorstep to apologize.

"Shh, keep your voice down!" Xu Qingying wished she could go up and cover this person's mouth. She nervously glanced around at the classmates who had not yet left, and only sighed in relief when she saw that no one was looking over. "You are more concerned than my mother."

I suppose I am disturbing your sleep, am I not

Having neither lived on campus nor had the time to engage in much interaction with her classmates, Xu Qingying felt like a solitary point, with no classmates within the radius of the two seats centered around her. This situation brought her both a sense of comfort and a hint of melancholy

Through her sunglasses, Xu Qingying saw the adorable junior sister's aggrieved expression. She had no choice but to shake off Xu Wanqiao's hand and said to the girl who was still standing there, lost in her sadness: "Junior sister, don't be sad. Your senior is just in a bad mood today, it's alright, he didn't mean to ignore you!"

"Young Master Xu, how did you end up here?" Xu Qingying hurriedly typed on her phone to ask him

When the class bell rang, Xu Qingying was still standing there in a daze. Xu Wanjiao, who had been standing beside her, suddenly took Xu Qingying's backpack out of the drawer, unzipped it, and pulled out a few thin sheets of paper that had already been bound.

The bun has been ravaged into a tangled mess, and after a few days of absence, it seems her face has become a size smaller. Due to the sunglasses obscuring her features, he cannot clearly see her appearance

Although it is class time, there are still quite a few students coming and going on campus at this moment. The combination of a handsome guy with an icy demeanor and a light beauty with a look of anxiety immediately attracts the attention of many people as soon as they step out of the teaching building

While waiting for the red light, he stopped the car steadily, reached out to take off her sunglasses, and then turned around to bring her special pink Hello Kitty pillow to support her head. Watching her blissfully unaware and sweetly drifting into a dream, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated.

Xu Qingying checked her phone and saw that it was 8:15, indicating that there was still some time before class began

This fool wants to be both a good idol and a good student, wishing to utilize every hour of the day, not considering whether their body can withstand it

One minute, just let me sleep for one minute... Xu Qingying murmured to herself

"What’s wrong with you? What are you tangled up in again?" Just as she was mourning her own sleep, Xu Wanqiao placed a hand on her head and poked her bun, "If there’s something bothering you, just say it. If I can help, I’ll generously lend a hand."

But now ... ... Superman is about to fall to the ground

As soon as the professor left, Xu Wanqiao, feeling somewhat frustrated, said: "Are you stupid? What good does it do to just stand there? How will the professor know how hard you are working if you don't speak up?"

Although www.hetushucom.com was somewhat reluctant, Xu Qingying still informed him of her plan to sacrifice her sleep time to study at the library. After saying this, she couldn't help but praise herself: "Look, I never thought I could be so passionate about studying, I am simply the 'Star of Learning' at our Gyeongnam University!"

"Professor, you are right; Qingying's behavior is indeed inappropriate. However, she is truly dedicated to her studies. Even after rehearsing all night yesterday, she did not delay attending your first class this morning." As if fearing that the rigorous professor before her would not believe her, Xu Wanqiao handed over the few thin sheets of paper, "Professor, look, this is the paper you assigned earlier. Although Qingying has been busy practicing at the company, she has also researched extensively to complete it earnestly."

I... didn't expect Xu Qingying to say that, Xu Wanjiao smiled helplessly, feeling a bit disappointed as she lowered her hand. "There was a reason back then... forget it. Are you going to tell me or not? Xu Qingying, you better be honest with me, otherwise, I will reveal the embarrassing story of how you mistook your mother at the age of 5!"

A girl with a doll-like face, dressed in a white sailor suit, ran directly over from the opposite side and excitedly said to Xu Wanqiao: "Senior, what a coincidence! My name is Lin Wanwan, and I am also a student in the directing department. We met before..."

"Classmate Xu Qingying, please stand up with the male classmate next to you." Professor Qi, unable to endure any longer, finally spoke up. He had tolerated sleeping, he had tolerated noise, but now, to openly chat in his classroom was something even a gentleman could not bear!

Professor Qi, who studied in the UK in his early years, brought back the British style upon his return to the country. Now in his sixties, he appears to be a true gentleman

She adjusted her cloak and took out a makeup mirror to examine her face. The foundation she had applied had long since faded, revealing skin as smooth as a baby's, which made her appear radiant. The volumizing mascara made her eyes look large and bright, while the matching lipstick gave her complexion a healthy and moisturized appearance

Thinking of this, Xu Qingying's complexion looked rather poor, with even her foundation unable to conceal the pallor on her face. Forget it, she could only abandon her plan to catch up on sleep and head to the library to give it her all.

At the moment she closed her eyes, the person beside her, who seemed to be focused on driving, finally couldn't help but smile

Every time he attends class, he meticulously wears a three-piece suit, with a gold-inlaid, filigree pocket watch hanging from his chest. In the left breast pocket of his suit, there is also a white pocket square folded from a handkerchief, and he occasionally carries a pure black cane.

With the sound of brakes, a red taxi came to a stop at the front entrance. A small foot clad in white Oxford shoes first stepped out from the car door, followed by long legs in black leggings that emerged from the taxi. The upper body was adorned with a stylish red cape jacket that was both chic and charming, concealing the undershirt that had not yet been changed.

Do not blame her for being timid; the experience of eighteen years of growing up together has taught her that an angry Xu Wanjiao is not to be provoked, and an angry Xu Wanjiao must not be resisted. This is a lesson she has learned through years of blood and tears

However, this fellow named Xu Wanqiao clearly applied to the neighboring university, so how did he end up in her classroom? Xu Qingying felt a bit puzzled

The fatigue from the all-night rehearsal and the anger of the moment left Xu Qingying in a daze, and she couldn't even be bothered to respond to the glance thrown her way by Xu Wanjiao.

Forget it. If it were really that good, you wouldn't have suddenly changed your mind and gone to the neighboring school when we agreed to take the same entrance exam. How could I possibly trouble the students from the neighboring school when I have something to deal with?" Xu Qingying couldn't help but roll her eyes. Who was it that insisted that childhood sweethearts should always be together? And now, what about that?

Xu Qingying opened her textbook with a sense of respect, taking notes as Professor Qi explained. However, the professor's voice, which usually resonated like the rich tones of a cello, now sounded as gentle as a lullaby. She couldn't help but nod off little by little, eventually resting her head on the desk, her mind becoming a blur.

The sudden interruption of the lullaby left Xu Qingying feeling somewhat disoriented. She slowly lifted her eyelids and hazily scanned the classroom, only to find that both the classmates two meters away and the professor at the podium were frowning and staring at her, as if she should not be present in the classroom

A slender, fair finger gently poked Xu Qingying's head, but she did not respond, merely tilting her head slightly to the side. The person beside her, clearly undeterred, poked her cheek more forcefully.

Xu Wanqiao on the opposite side raised the A4 paper in her hand, and the bold black signature on the back allowed her to immediately recognize that it was the class schedule she had been looking for

Xu Wanqiao expressionlessly threw the phone back.

Hmph, what is so impressive? Once we get home, you can leave me and come out again.

It is still because of you! Xu Wanqiao, don't think this is the end of it. Let me tell you, if my grade in this course is not good at the end of the term, you will be held responsible

However, unexpectedly, just as they stepped out of the school gate, a careless girl actually bumped into them, completely ignoring her presence.

Aunt Zhen sent a WeChat message, and I told them to go to my house to play cards. There is no one at your home right now. You should honestly take a nap in your room this afternoon; no one will disturb you. Xu Wanqiao skillfully steered the wheel while setting her schedule.

What a fool

He unceremoniously snatched the bag from Xu Qingying's hand, then pulled her directly out of the classroom, heading towards the school gate.

I happened to drive over today, and I will take you back now

Xu Qingying straightened her posture, smiled shyly, and then lowered her head

Seeing the words on the phone, Xu Qingying couldn't help but reach out and pinch him under the table

Dear junior, although Xu Wanqiao is known as "a graceful gentleman, warm as jade," everyone believes he is a gentle senior, but that is only when he is in a good mood, not when he is angry. The true him is actually quite terrifying!

Professor Qi paused his actions, raised his head, and glanced at Xu Qingying, whose eyes were red: "Classmate Xu, the one you owe an apology to is not me, but the time you have spent on your studies."

Having made up her mind, Xu Qingying gradually relaxed, her body swaying slightly with the movement of the car, as the drowsiness she had forcefully suppressed began to resurface.

His fluffy chestnut short hair accentuated his snow-white complexion, and a pair of large round black-framed glasses rested on his high nose bridge. The glasses not only did not obscure his gem-like eyes, but their round design also enhanced his perfect face shape, making his brows and eyes appear even more profound.

Since this is the case, I can only rely on my own efforts

The words she had yet to finish were stuck in her throat, as Xu Wanqiao did not even cast a glance in her direction and simply strode past her with long strides

Professor Qi, I apologize; Qingying has come to express her apologies to you.

"3102, 3102..." As she muttered and searched, Xu Qingying finally found the classroom before the class bell rang. However, considering her poor sleep schedule, she had to temporarily set aside her pride, crouch down, and quietly enter through the back door of the classroom, choosing a seat in the corner of the last row to sit down, trying her best not to attract attention

Watching Lin Wanwan run away in tears, Xu Qingying slowly sat down in the passenger seat

As Professor Qi, dressed in a well-fitted suit with graying hair, entered the classroom, Xu Qingying temporarily set aside her emotions and quietly took out "A History of English Literature"

However, upon hearing her words, Xu Wanqiao's expression grew increasingly dark. After listening to her self-praising remarks, he could no longer hold back and raised his hand to give her a sharp slap: "If you have the guts, then go ahead and try! Xu Qingying, do I need to remind you how many nights you've stayed up this month? You're joking with your own life!" The more Xu Wanqiao spoke, the angrier he became. "No, I must take you home, and I will make you enter sleep mode immediately!"

At this moment, Xu Qingying, who appeared exceptionally aloof in the eyes of the crowd, was discreetly glancing at the person in front of her who was holding her without saying a word, carefully observing his expression.

You ... ...

Even if she rehearses all night, even if the company's schedule is packed, Xu Qingying will maintain her attendance in class. She knows how much effort she put in to be admitted to Gyeongnam University, and she is also aware that she has one foot already in the entertainment industry. She does not want to give up on either side, so she has pushed herself to become superhuman

At this moment, Xu Qingying's lips, as beautiful as cherry blossoms in April, were slightly pursed. Yet, she knew that once he smiled, the corners of his lips would reveal a shallow dimple, as if it could drown a person in that unassuming tenderness
