The first time I met April was during my first year of university.
It was a bright spring day, brimming with vitality. Trees were budding, flowers perfumed the air, and the wind was gentle and affectionate.
But I had no heart for appreciating the scenery around me, and instead raced forward with all my might.
I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late!
I screamed wildly in my heart, not daring to stop moving my feet for even a moment.
Only when I saw the outline of the school did I quietly breathe a sigh of relief.
I glanced at my watch, it was 7: 58, there was still hope.
Just as I was about to step through the classroom gate, thinking that I wouldn't be late, a force suddenly pulled me back.
"Late, one demerit."
"Tell me your name."
A cold voice came from above my head.
I staggered a few steps before regaining my balance, just as I was about to snap, an extremely handsome face came into my field of vision.
He wore a simple white shirt, his clear and cold eyebrows were indifferent yet held a hint of detachment.
I was a fan of good looks; I didn't like anything else, just people who were good-looking. The anger that had risen in my heart was immediately extinguished.
He really was good-looking.
"Sir, look, it's only 7: 58, I'm not late."
I argued based on the facts, pointing at my watch to indicate that I wasn't late.
But he didn't even lift his eyes, instead scribbling in his notebook.
"Hey, sir, are you listening to me?"
Seeing his indifferent attitude, my extinguished anger flared up again.
Being good-looking or not, he was still an impolite guy!
"Sir, you..."
As soon as I started to speak, he lifted his head abruptly, his clear and cold expression seemed even colder.
"It's now 8: 35, Miss, you're half an hour late."
I paused and looked sharply at my own watch.
That's not right, my watch clearly said 7: 58.
"Nonsense, my watch clearly says 7: 58..."
"Miss, your watch is broken, didn't you notice that it has stopped?"
His indifferent voice left me stunned.
I hurriedly looked down and found that, just as he said, my watch had stopped.
Embarrassment spread over me, and I turned so red that I wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm really sorry."
I really didn't know my watch was broken, causing such a big mix-up.
"Can you please cross out my name? I really didn't mean to do this."
"I promise, next time, I definitely won't be late."
"Please, sir."
I clasped my hands together and begged for mercy.
He looked at me, tapped his slender finger on the watch, and then said, "Name."
I was elated, had he agreed?
"Sir, my name is Vivian Renee."
"Thank you so much."
"No need for words of gratitude, I'll take you out for a meal sometime."
"Huh."
He suddenly let out a cold laugh and wrote down my name on the paper.
"Vivian, Class 1, one absence and attempting to bribe the professor assistant, two credit deduct."
"Don't forget to write a review."
After saying this, he closed the register and turned to leave.
I stood there, thunderstruck.
Two credit deduct...?!
You can't go like this!
