The next day, at Yun University…

Mu Huan was tired. Exhausted. Especially more so when the teacher at the lectern delivered such a dull presentation. His voice was like a lullaby, making her even more drowsy so that she couldn’t help but drift off to sleep.

Until a piece of flying chalk hit her mercilessly on her head. Her eyes snapped open.

As she did so, she jumped in fright. Wasn’t it Professor Song’s class she was in? How did that turn into Professor Wang in the blink of an eye!

It felt like she had only shut her eyes for a moment, but it turned out she had slept through a lesson and a bit!

“Mu Huan, why don’t you come up here and work out this question!” Professor Wang had never liked Mu Huan. Even though normally, she would take extra caution during class, he would still find trouble with her, not to mention now that she had been caught sleeping!

Worried that Professor Wang would penalize her, she quickly stood up and went up to solve the question.

The question that Professor Wang had asked Mu Huan to solve was a difficult one.

In fact, he had spotted the girl sleeping the moment he stepped in, but he didn’t wake her then. He woke her only after he had gone through this toughest biochemistry question of the term so he could ask her to solve it. And when she didn’t know how to, he’d teach her a good lesson. See if she’d dare to fall asleep during his class again!

Who would have known, after Mu Huan went up to the stage, that she would proceed to sloppily work out the question, seemingly without any difficulty at all?

It didn’t take long for her to work out the answer.

As she placed the chalk back down and got ready to return to her seat, a round of applause suddenly broke out.

This surprised her. Why were they applauding for no reason?

Li Meng was resting in the hostel as she was having her monthlies and feeling unwell. Hence, Mu Huan, who had woken up not long ago, was quite clueless as to what was going on in class.

She stole a look at Professor Wang out of the corner of her eye but only saw an ugly expression on his face.

This made her feel rather uneasy.

Could she have made an error in her answer, or unknowingly done something to upset Professor Wang?

She turned to look at her workings on the board. She could not find anything wrong with it.

She cautiously threw a glance at her classmates.

A few girls who were on good terms with her were giving her the thumbs-up sign. Then, she saw Professor Wang’s expression further darkening.

Mu Huan: “…”

What was going on?

What was going on?! What were her classmates so excited over? And why were they giving her the thumbs-up?

“Why aren’t you going back to your seat? Waiting to be praised?” Professor Wang’s expression couldn’t get any uglier.

Mu Huan quickly got off the stage.

After she had gone back to her seat…

The girl sitting next to her leaned over and said, “Xiao Huan, you’re too clever!”

“How so?” Mu Huan’s expression begged for an explanation.

The girl: “…!!”

How so! She was asking how so! It was such a difficult question, did she not even think so?

After coming to Yun University, she finally understood the saying that no matter how good one thought one was, there would always be someone better!

“What’s the matter? Hurry up and tell me! Professor Wang seems completely upset. Did I unknowingly offend him somehow?!” Mu Huan was now terribly worried about Professor Wang as he had penalized her over a few occasions and took six points from her!

If she offended him and he continued to dislike her, he’d find all sorts of opportunities to penalize her further. Once she had chalked up the maximum demerit points for bad conduct, she would fail this subject no matter how well she scored in the examination!

“The question you’ve just solved is an extremely difficult question. I was going to wake you up when Professor Wang came in, but he shot me such a dirty look that I didn’t dare to. He had woken you up and asked you to go up to solve the question only after he had talked through it. He was waiting to chastise you, thinking that you wouldn’t be able to answer the question. Alas, you not only solved it, but you had used a method that was even simpler and clearer than the method used by Professor Wang, who was bragging about the ingenuity of his own method!”
