The teacher looked at Yuan Xiao, who had her head lowered in silence, and slowly said, “I asked you what theory this question can be related to, but you directly gave the correct answer. You have some right to be distracted.”

“Student, what’s your name?”

Hearing her teacher ask her name, Yuan Xiao felt even more uneasy.

After all, it was definitely not a good thing to be targeted by a teacher when she was only a freshman. If she was really remembered by the teacher, even if she wanted to skip a class in the future, she might be directly discovered.

“Yuan Xiao.”

“Alright, Student Yuan Xiao, you’re very smart. I’ll be especially strict with you.

Other students who reach the passing mark will pass the coursel. If you reach 80 points, I will pass you.” The teacher waved her hand and gestured for her to sit down. She began to talk about the problem on the screen.

Returning to her seat, Yuan Xiao’s mood plummeted. She was already targeted; it seemed that there was no hope for her to relax after four years in university.

Yuan Xiao did not calm down even after class. After all, she had always been a good student in the teachers’ hearts. This was the first time she had been criticized like this.

Most of the students had already left. Yuan Xiao looked at the teacher who was tidying up the books on the podium and quietly walked over.

“Teacher Dai, I really understand my mistake just now. I definitely won’t be distracted in the future.” Yuan Xiao smiled at the teacher ingratiatingly. This Professor Dai from the Physics Department was the renowned lecturer of University A, but he was famous for being strict and serious.

“Yuan Xiao, I actually know you.” The teacher looked at Yuan Xiao with a smile and said to her, “It’s not like I’ve never watched the news. Besides, Shen Yu is my student.”

“Professor Shen…” Yuan Xiao thought of Professor Shen and suddenly realized that even if she did not make a mistake, she was very likely to be targeted. After all, Shen Yu was a professor at University A. It was easy for the teachers to learn about her.

“You can be said to be a genius to a certain extent, but I’m best at stimulating the potential of a genius. Work hard in the future. Many teachers in our faculty think highly of you. Don’t disappoint everyone.”

Professor Dai reminded Yuan Xiao seriously, “If there’s any academic problem you don’t understand, you’re welcome to come to my office to discuss it with me. Also, remember to polish your knowledge more. Don’t be complacent. No matter what level you reach, you can always improve.”

After leaving the classroom, Yuan Xiao’s emotions were very complicated.

Although learning was endless and hard work was a virtue, according to Professor Dai, many teachers in the department had already gotten to know her. It would be very difficult for her to live a peaceful life in the future.

Yuan Xiao lowered her head and did not notice the person in front of her. She accidentally bumped into him.

“I’m sorry.” Yuan Xiao still did not raise her head. She apologized and was about to leave when she was stopped.

“Yuan Xiao, don’t you recognize me?” Si Cheng looked at Yuan Xiao, who was about to leave, and deliberately put on a disappointed expression.

“Si Cheng… Hello, Senior.” Yuan Xiao smiled awkwardly. Every time she met Si Cheng, she did not seem to be very happy.

“Hello, welcome to University A.” Si Cheng glanced at the classroom behind Yuan Xiao and asked with a smile, “Are you from the Physics Department? Was that Professor Dai’s class just now?”

Yuan Xiao nodded. Si Cheng’s enthusiasm made her feel a little uncomfortable. “Although Professor Dai is a little strict, he’s actually a very good person.”

“Senior, aren’t you in the Business Administration Department?” Yuan Xiao remembered that in the original book, Si Cheng had studied business management overseas. Although the plot had changed a little, a main character like Si Cheng should not have changed much if not for the influence of the outside world.

“I have a double degree. I’ve attended Professor Dai’s class.” As the two of them were a little different in height, Si Cheng specially lowered his head slightly when he spoke to Yuan Xiao. They looked especially close, attracting the gazes of many students who passed by.

Si Cheng was indeed the school hunk of University A. His reputation was not exaggerated. In just a short while, he had already attracted the discussion of many students. Yuan Xiao even saw many female students secretly taking photos.

“Junior Xiao Xiao, if you need any help in the future, you can tell me. Let’s exchange contact details.”

Si Cheng was about to take out his phone when he heard Yuan Xiao say slowly, “Senior Si Cheng, I do have something to trouble you with..”
