Don't know how long I slept, my arm seemed to be gently bumped by someone.
I frowned, tone annoyed: "Lucas, stop tormenting me tonight, okay?"
Suddenly, bursts of laughter came to my ears.
"Hahaha Samantha Jones is confused from sleeping in class."
"Seems the rumor on the school forum is true, she really likes the academic god Lucas Reed like crazy."
"Yeah, crying like that a few days ago, and talking nonsense today."
Class? School forum? What the hell?
I opened my eyes in a daze, only to see Lucas wearing a school uniform.
His fair face was tinged with a flush.
It wasn't until the moment I was thrown out of the classroom by the teacher to stand as punishment that I vaguely realized.
I seem to have effortlessly... time-traveled?
Traveled back to my student days ten years ago.
The setting sun was blood-red on the horizon, and the sound of reading aloud filled the classroom.
Through the window glass, I looked at the healthy legs under Lucas's desk.
And the clean white shoes with peeling glue on his feet.
Who would have thought, this impoverished, quiet boy.
Would become the decisive, number one figure in the business world in the future.
