"Max Stone, where are you? Hurry up and come to class, this period is the management course, don't be late."
Jake Turner sent a message.
Teacher Ethan Clark, who taught the management course, was notorious for being strict and despised students who arrived late. Some said that being late three times would result in failing the course.
Max Stone didn't dare to be even a second late. He hastily grabbed a plastic bag, rushed to the dormitory, unable to return, and ran straight to the lecture hall.
"Report."
Three legs, four calves, and he was still late.
Max Stone stood at the classroom door, feeling the gaze of everyone in the class on him.
He stood there for about half a minute, but Ethan Clark didn't even glance at Max Stone. He continued teaching as if he hadn't seen him, creating an atmosphere where the embarrassment was palpable.
"Are you so busy picking up garbage that you forget about time? Do you know you're late? Are you a student or a vagabond on the street?"
Finally, Ethan Clark took off his glasses and continued to scold mercilessly, clearly asking rhetorical questions just to humiliate others.
And then, most of the students in the class burst into laughter.
Indeed, anyone could see the large plastic bag that Max Stone was holding in his hand. Of course, they had to see it because it contained a million yuan inside.
Moreover, Max Stone was dressed so shabbily, and the bag looked like a garbage bag; it truly resembled those people who collected recyclables.
"Now, open that plastic bag, let everyone see what treasures you've picked up."
Ethan Clark mocked. Another round of laughter erupted in the classroom.
"No need." Max Stone replied casually.
Although Ethan Clark was a teacher, his character was extremely unpleasant. He openly looked down on students from poor backgrounds but treated students with extraordinary backgrounds and powerful families kindly. Max Stone despised people like him.
"Huh, bringing your treasures to class, huh? Show it to us. Remember, if you're late two more times, don't expect to continue studying. It's true that the poorer you are, the less you have."
Looking at Max Stone like this, Ethan Clark also felt disgusted. He shouted loudly to dismiss him and avoid further disturbance.
Max Stone obediently complied.
From the entrance to his seat.
Many students stared intently at the large plastic bag in his hand. Some whispered to each other and then burst into laughter, apparently discussing Max Stone's garbage collection.
After returning to his seat, Max Stone didn't listen to the lecture. He lay on the desk and slept. He was truly tired from running back and forth today.
This was the good thing about attending university. As long as you didn't talk, cause trouble, or disrupt other students, you could pretty much do whatever you wanted, and no one would care.
While lost in a deep slumber, Max Stone suddenly felt someone pat his arm.
He raised his head to see that it was Olivia Davis.
"Is this your seat...?"
Olivia Davis: pointed at the plastic bag, which had been torn open by now, revealing stacks of yuan bills inside.
At this moment, Olivia Davis's icy and contemptuous expression had vanished, replaced by a hint of indescribable tenderness.
Max Stone's heart couldn't help but ache, and he couldn't respond. He remembered the night when he and Olivia Davis officially became a couple. Olivia Davis: no longer called him Max Stone she called him "Baby" (my love).
When a girl called a guy that, it made a young man's heart swell with the desire to protect her for a lifetime.
And now, he heard Olivia Davis call him that again. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks and turn around. In his ear, he heard a burst of laughter.
Max Stone was suddenly startled, realizing that he hadn't actually left his seat; he had just stood up. The plastic bag was still peacefully lying under his feet, unopened. Also, Olivia Davis wasn't even talking to him.
What he had just experienced was only a dream.
However, the fact that Olivia Davis called someone by those two words was real.
But the person she called wasn't Max Stone; it was a male student standing outside the classroom who was smiling captivatingly.
Seeing that male student, Max Stone suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable. That guy was Olivia Davis new boyfriend, Liam Smith.
Liam Smith's appearance wasn't particularly appealing; he had a somewhat rough face, and his stature was relatively short. However, he compensated for it by wearing branded clothing like Levi's and Louis Vuitton.
He came from a wealthy family and was known as the "Little Prince of the Chinese Department."
In no time, Max Stone understood what was happening. Now that it was time to finish class, Liam Smith came to pick up Olivia Davis:. When Olivia Davis: saw him, she immediately called him "Baby" (my love), a phrase that was very familiar to Max Stone. After all, she used to call him that.
That's why he had unconsciously stood up. Seeing Max Stone's dazed expression, the whole class burst into laughter.
Everyone knew about.
