When midday approached, Bai Luo Yin was rudely awakened by a phone call.

The moment he picked up, Yang Meng's cheery and exuberant voice instantly came through the receiver.

"Hey bro, are you still sleeping? School started today and you are assigned to class 27. Hurry up and come check in. I can guarantee that you will get a nice, pleasant surprise."

Bai Luo Yin sat up with the jittery sensation of having been suddenly awoken still bothering him but when he thought of how fast school had started, he felt even more tired. While the other students were already sitting in class, he was still calmly putting on his clothes.

On his way to the school, Bai Luo Yin felt something hard pressing against his foot. When he looked down, he realized that he actually had on slipper as he left the house.

Forget it, I walked this far already. I don't want to go back home again.

Second-year, class 27, that should be here. Bai Luo Yin pushed the door open and walked in.

There was a set rule that the last student to enter late to the class always attracted the highest level of attention from every student and Bai Luo Yin was no exception. Nevertheless, Bai Luo Yin looked unfazed. He was already late to the class, but instead of providing an explanation, he confidently walked to the last available desk, pulled the chair out, and settled down. Throughout the process, his expression remained very calm and composed.

As a result, the surrounding students hissed in displeasure at him for a good while.

Bai Luo Yin didn't understand the reason for these hissing sounds.

Then, the male student beside him answered his misgivings.

"You just let an exceptionally good opportunity slip away."

Hearing that, Bai Luo Yin only appeared uninterested, "What opportunity?"

"Have a look yourself."

Bai Luo Yin looked up and let his gaze stop over the teacher in charge of the class's face for a moment. This was one of the school's most notable teacher and because she was extremely beautiful, every time the school obtained any successful achievements, she would act as the representative of the school; meanwhile, every male yearned to be her student.

"If I were you, I would definitely make use of this tardiness and apologize to her. First, just worm your way into having a friendly relationship and then work from there."

"If you destroy the table, she will take the initiative to come and be friends with you."

The male student smiled foolishly, "It's it because I don't even dare to do that."

At that moment, Bai Luo Yin finally understood what Yang Meng had meant by a 'pleasant surprise'. So, as it turns out, it was due to this teacher. Frankly speaking, Bai Luo Yin was not interested in a mature, beautiful woman, especially when said woman bore a remarkable resemblance to his mother.

As Bai Luo Yin arranged his things on the desk, one of his ballpoints pens fell to the ground. When he bent over to pick it up, he unintentionally saw that the male student in front of him had also worn slippers to the school. Not only that, but he had also paired it with baggy pants—how flashy.

"Students."

Once those sexy red lips parted, the whole class fell into such utter silence that not even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard—especially the male animals since they didn't even dare to breathe.

"I'm the teacher in charge of this class. My name is Luo Xiao Yu, and this is my cell phone number," the teacher said as she turned around to write on the blackboard. "I've never made this public to any of my former students, so you all should be honored."

With that, thunderous applause resounded through the classroom.

There were only two students who did not bother to write down the number. One of them was Bai Luo Yin. In fact, he was the most brilliant, because that number would never go through no matter what. Naturally, that was another matter which will be brought up later on.

The students took turns to go up and introduce themselves.

When it was finally the guy wearing the baggy pants and slippers' turn, Bai Luo Yin especially paid attention to him.

"I'm from Tianjin and my name is You Qi (special)."[1]

Bai Luo Yin was still waiting for him to say his name, but the guy had already walked back with confidence and ease. A certain person with the surname of Bai stared dumbfounded for a moment before he mumbled to himself. "'My name is You Qi (special)?' What's wrong with your name? You haven't said it yet, but you're already returning!"

However, when Bai Luo Yin looked up, he saw that the two words written on the blackboard were—You Qi.

So, his name is "You Qi".

Bai Luo Yin collapsed mentally. Fortunately, no one had heard him mumbling to himself just now.
