Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Qing had no choice but to force himself to get up and finish his breakfast with his eyes closed. When he left, he even forgot to bring his bag. His father stopped him and reminded him, “Hey, you forgot your bag. What’s on your mind? You’re still a student…”

In the midst of his father’s constant reprimands, Chu Qing reluctantly returned to the bedroom to retrieve his bag. Upon reemerging, he noticed a change in his father’s tone. “Little Qing, what’s the matter with you today? Are you feeling unwell? Let’s go. I’ll take you to the doctor, and I’ll inform your teacher about your absence.”

At first, his father thought that Chu Qing had a morning temper. But at this moment, he could tell that something was wrong.

Hearing his father’s concern, Chu Qing’s heart warmed. He smiled at his father and said, “I’m fine. I’m just a little sleepy. I’ll go to school first. Goodbye, Dad. I can take good care of myself.”

When his father heard Chu Qing say he was fine, he was still worried. When he heard that Chu Qing could take good care of himself, his father felt upset.

As the realization dawned on Chu Qing’s father that the Chu family, with whom he had lost contact for many years, had arranged a marriage for his son, fury welled up within him. He clenched his teeth and muttered through gritted teeth, “Damn the Chu family.”

Back then, it was already not easy for him to be with Chu Qing’s mother. Now, even their son had to be used by them as a tool for marriage and marry someone else.

At that moment, a wave of sadness washed over Chu Qing’s father. Contemplating how he had depended on his wife to sustain their family throughout the years, and now being compelled to sacrifice his own son, he lost all motivation to attend to household chores. He sank onto the sofa, wiping away his tears. If things truly didn’t work out, even if it meant risking his life, he couldn’t bear to silently witness Chu Qing marrying someone he disapproved of.

Fortunately, Chu Qing went off to school, sparing him the sight of his father wiping away tears. Witnessing such a scene would have surely caused him both a headache and heartache. After all, in his previous life, his father had ingrained in him the notion that men should endure pain without shedding tears.

Chu Qing really didn’t want to sleep anymore. He also knew that it was wrong to sleep in class, but today, he really couldn’t stand the overwhelming sleepiness. He forcefully opened his eyelids and looked at the words in the book. They were like black tadpoles crawling in front of his eyes. Chu Qing couldn’t read them at all.

Chu Qing had tried his best and struggled. In the end, he fell asleep. He thought to himself that he really couldn’t be blamed for this. Just like that, in school, other than the title of school belle, Chu Qing had another title of sleeping beauty.

In the beginning, this title had a derogatory meaning and was mocked by others. However, later on, Chu Qing seemed to have become the target of countless boys.

When men in this world were jealous, it was simply terrifying. This matter became more and more intense. In the end, Chu Qing felt a little uneasy. As expected, it alarmed the Academic Affairs Office.

To Chu Qing, receiving direct reports and criticism felt like an unwarranted calamity. However, he recognized that it could be an effective means to end unfavorable rumors. Of course, this realization was something that would only come in the future.

At this moment, Chu Qing, who was sleeping, still did not realize this. During lunch, Ye Mao woke Chu Qing up. After Tong Fei’s commotion, Song Chaoran seemed to have deliberately kept a distance from Chu Qing to avoid arousing suspicion.

Chu Qing was a little vexed about this, but since Song Chaoran was unwilling, he couldn’t force her. In that case, Ye Mao could only be the one to wake him up..
