“Gu Mengmeng.” The professor had his head bent over the attendance list and didn’t notice that the female students in class had all fallen into a deep trance. Unhappy at the lack of response, the professor shouted, “Is Gu Mengmeng here?”
“Here.” Snake raised his hand before walking gracefully in.
That simple word caused a major furor within the classroom.
Shocking! The coolest dude in school was not a mute!
Even as the surrounding students were breaking out in a frenzy, Snake only had eyes for Gu Mengmeng. He gradually stepped closer to her.
He leaned over, feeling satisfied that her gaze never left his face.
With a sly grin, he said, “Move in, I will sit beside you for you to look all you want.”
Gu Mengmeng finally snapped out of her trance before lowering her head hastily. “Who’s looking at you. Don’t think too much.”
Snake narrowed his eyes unhappily. “Or do you feel that I look better when I am standing in the doorway? If so… I can go back to standing there.”
A commotion had already started among the other students. Gu Mengmeng’s face had turned a deep red. She was very sure that if Snake really went back to stand at the doorway for the entire lesson, she would definitely become public enemy number one.
Who knew if there was something wrong inside her head, but Gu Mengmeng stood up and addressed the professor. “Professor, this person does not belong in our class! He is causing a disruption. Why are you not throwing him out?”
The professor had been stunned by Snake’s appearance. He frowned deeply. He had planned to just keep silent to maintain the peace, but now that Gu Mengmeng had spoken up, he had no choice but to ask. Clearing his throat, he directed his question at Snake. “Are you in my class?”
Snake turned around and smiled politely. “No, I am a family member.”
With that, he immediately sat down on Gu Mengmeng’s seat before she had time to react. He then looked up at her with a smile. “Move in or sit in my lap? Your choice.”
“You…!” Gu Mengmeng’s face was as red as a pig’s liver. She had chosen this corner spot for some peace and quiet, but was now trapped by Snake. Unless she could fly, there was no way she could escape.
“Alright, he is just a visiting student. Don’t you have a seat right where you are? Quickly sit down and don’t disrupt the class.” The professor promptly lectured Gu Mengmeng until she had nothing else to say. Fuming, she pressed herself right against the wall and sat down. How she wished that she could just go through the wall.
Snake chuckled. This professor’s research paper had been funded by him. The research had begun three years ago and was now in its final and most critical phase. Snake had then suddenly withdrawn his funding. Only when the professor was nearly pulling out his hair in anxiety had Snake then arranged for a meeting with him.
Ah, a dog would always acknowledge its owner.
With one hand on the desk, Snake smiled at Gu Mengmeng, who was shrinking away from him as if he had an infectious disease.
He did not like this feeling. She had feared him before, but did not avoid or reject him like she did now.
With his palm facing upwards, Snake said gently. “Two meng.”
Gu Mengmeng grunted. She did not feel the need to respond to his calling her like she was his pet dog. With a roll of her eyes, she turned away and ignored Snake.
