Shen Ting groggily opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

He even yawned while speaking.

Qi Lu immediately realized she was still sleeping and urged, "You didn't oversleep, did you? Hurry up and get to work, Team Leader Liang is already angry!"

"A leader is coming to inspect later. If they find you, the intern, aren't here, you're in big trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ting immediately sat up in shock from his deathbed.

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

She quickly put on her shoes, went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and rushed towards the school.

Sitting in the car, she finally had time to turn on her phone and see the messages Shi Yan had sent an hour earlier.

[Shi Yan: I'm going to deliver the takeout first. I've already set an alarm for you.]

[Shi Yan: When you wake up, please be careful when you travel by car.]

[Shi Yan: [Transferring 300.00 yuan to you]]

What alarm clock?

Shen Ting had absolutely no recollection of this thing.

She turned on her phone's alarm clock and, sure enough, saw six alarms, spaced two minutes apart, all turn gray and lie on the screen.

Shen Ting: ? ? ?

What does it mean?

Does that mean she slept like a log and missed six alarms?

Didn't she drink beer for lunch?

The original owner's alcohol tolerance was terrible; she got so drunk from just beer...

Shen Ting closed her phone in despair, got out of the car, and ran into the school gate.

Inside the office, a Mediterranean-looking leader is inspecting the premises with his hands behind his back.

His face darkened when he heard that intern Shen Ting was late.

"What's wrong? You've only been interning for a few days and you're already this lazy. Can someone like that be a good teacher?"

Qi Lu, standing to the side, couldn't help but explain, "I'm sorry, Director, Ms. Shen went to print some materials for me, so she's not at school right now. She'll be back soon."

As Shen Ting said this, one of her hands happened to touch the office doorknob.

She was somewhat surprised that Qi Lu would speak up for her.

The sun must be rising in the south, right?

Before she could even search her bag for any relevant information to cover things up, she heard the director snort coldly.

Obviously, such a low-level lie wouldn't fool him.

"What are you trying to explain for her? If I don't hear an apology from her within three minutes, our school will never tolerate this 'big shot' again!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the office door clicked open.

Shen Ting took a deep breath and apologized to the director.

"I'm sorry, Director. I overslept today. I promise I won't make the same mistake again."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the office stared at her in surprise.

Song Yaya, in particular, glanced at Qi Lu and then glared at Shen Ting with hatred.

Now things are really messed up. The two have inconsistent lines, which will probably lead to Qi Lu being punished as well.

The director was surprised that she admitted her mistake so frankly and with such a good attitude, which immediately calmed him down.

"This is a one-time exception, considering you're new here."

The director said sternly, "If you neglect your duties again, you can just pack your bags and leave!"

After saying that, he swaggered away with his hands behind his back.

Shen Ting watched his retreating figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at her workstation, she opened Shi Yan's WeChat chat and couldn't help but send a "crying puppy" emoji.

Shi Yan quickly replied to her: 【What's wrong?】

Shen Ting: I'm late... Six alarms couldn't wake me up.

[Shen Ting: / The Puppy's Despair]

[Shi Yan: I'm sorry.]

Shen Ting: ?

Why is he apologizing for no reason?

Shen Ting looked at the next message he sent with a puzzled expression.

[Shi Yan: I shouldn't have left you to deliver food by myself.]

Shen Ting: ? ? ?

Judging by the speed of that sliding kneeling motion, it must have been tortured by the original owner to the point that it has developed muscle memory, right?

She typed somewhat guiltily: "It's nothing, it was my own problem, it has nothing to do with you."

Fortunately, my supervisor only criticized me a few times, and it didn't have any major impact.

After a while, Shi Yan replied to her: 【That's good.】

[Shi Yan: / Puppy Smile]

Shen Ting stared at the meme for a moment, momentarily stunned.

She could almost picture Shi Yan on the other side of the screen, seriously sending out cute emojis.

Some of it is quite fun.

Shen Ting returned to the classroom with her notebook and attended two more classes.

The nearsighted student got a pair of glasses and is now able to listen attentively in class.

But students whose parents are arguing still kowtow as soon as class starts.

Back in the office, Shen Ting couldn't help but ask Qi Lu, "Haven't you contacted Zhang Bingbing's parents?"

Qi Lu shrugged: "I contacted them, but those two parents refused to communicate. There's nothing I can do."

Shen Ting nodded: "Then let me give it a try. I'll visit their home this weekend."

Qi Lu was hesitating whether to agree or not when he heard Song Yaya sneer beside him.

"You? Teacher Shen, don't blame me for being blunt, but if Teacher Qi can't handle it, you can't possibly handle it either."

"Parents these days are much more difficult to deal with than we were when we were in school. You're just an inexperienced intern, so I advise you not to overestimate your abilities."

Troublesome?

Shen Ting had been a miserable homeroom teacher for so many years and had seen all kinds of parents.

"Don't worry, I believe I can do it," she said confidently.

Song Yaya scoffed: "Suit yourself, but don't come crying to us for advice later."

Shen Ting couldn't help but look at her.

It's inexplicable, where did this great hostility come from?

"Teacher Shen, how could you oversleep?"

Qi Lu chimed in from the side, "With our school's lunch break, it's enough time to eat a meal, how do you still have time to sleep?"

Shen Ting twitched the corner of her mouth.

You can't really say you drank two cans of beer and then passed out, can you?

She turned her back, ignoring Qi Lu, and started scrolling through her phone aimlessly.

After scrolling for a while, I got bored and opened Shi Yan's WeChat chat window again.

[Shen Ting: Which company did you interview with?]

Shi Yan quickly replied with a picture.

The company name and the president's surname are displayed above.

Also surnamed Shi?!

Shen Ting froze, her heart clenching instantly.

If I'm not mistaken, this company is most likely one of the enterprises of the Shi Group, and also a company managed by Shi Yan himself.

It's over.

The amnesiac prince personally applies for a low-level employee position at his own company.

At that point, Yan would probably only be able to go to work at noon.

Because they'll be recognized sooner or later.

Shen Ting recalled the trending topic on Weibo that she had seen yesterday: the Shi family had begun searching for his whereabouts.

Her good days are probably really coming to an end.

Shen Ting's mind was in turmoil, filled with the fear of her impending death.

Even when Qi Lu came over to bother her from time to time, she had no interest in paying attention to him.

After work, Shi Yan, as usual, rode his electric scooter to pick her up at the school gate.

Shen Ting usually walks out with a smile, but today she looked sullen and unhappy.

Shi Yan asked her, "What's wrong?"

Shen Ting forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "It's okay, let's go home."

Shi Yan had no choice but to get on his electric scooter.

Even after she got home, her expression didn't soften at all.

Shi Yan was really worried, so he walked up to her and said softly, "If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me anytime. I'm here for you."

Shen Ting sighed before looking up at him.

If he regains his memory and learns the whole truth.

Knowing that his current suffering stems from her, would he still say that?

After thinking for a moment, she tentatively spoke.

"If one day you find out I lied to you, will you be angry?"
