Chapter 42


    Just as everyone thought Bryan would get mad at Catherine and was praying silently for Catherine,


    Bryan’s attitude left everyone in shock again.


    Bryan’s serious expression broke into a faint smile suddenly, which made him seem more rxed and


    less stern.


    He pulled his chair out, sat down, leaned towards Catherine, and looked at her in a friendly manner.


    “It’s okay. We are now ssmates and deskmates already. We’ll be somewhat like friends when


    we are more familiar with one another, won’t we?”


    Everyone was speechless. Was this the Bryan they knew?


    Why did he look like a yful hooligan flirting with girls?


    Catherine took another rare nce at Bryan, who had changed his attitude so suddenly.


    She suddenly felt that Bryan looked somewhat like Ronin.


    But he wasn’t as cute as Ronin was. Besides, she already had Ronin and did not need another boy like


    him.


    If Bryan knew what Catherine was thinking about right now, he would surely go mad.


    After all, he was the boss that everyone respected in Sincere High School. It was outrageous for him


    not even to have a chance to make friends with Catherine and even be considered to be not cute


    enough.


    The mathematics teacher entered the ssroom and saw that David and the others were still gathered


    around Bryan.


    She mmed her books on the desk and roared, “What time is it? Why are you not back in your seats?


    Go back to your seats, all of you. Are you trying to challenge me?”


    The mathematics teacher was known to have a bad temper and a loud voice.


    The group scattered and returned to their seats, all a bit afraid of her.


    Then, the mathematics teacher finally flipped the book open and was ready to start the lesson.


    Catherine also adjusted herself and leaned against the table again as she did in the morning, getting


    ready to sleep.


    However, the mathematics teacher got mad when she saw someone sleeping in her ss.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She pounded on the table hard, making everyone jump, and roared in the direction of Catherine, “Who


    is that? How can you sleep in my ss? If you don’t want to study, then get out of here!”


    Soon, the mathematics teacher got even angrier when she saw that Catherine didn’t even move after


    her roar.


    She grabbed a book and was about to throw it at Catherine hard. Her eyes shed with a trace of


    fierceness as she thought to herself, “Are you that sleepy? I’d love to see how much of this you can


    take!”


    Everyone was holding their breaths and didn’t dare to make a sound. Seeing that the book was about


    to hit Catherine on the head, Bryan, who was beside her, blocked it.


    The ears of Catherine, who was still asleep, twitched and stopped moving again.


    Bryan reached out quickly to catch the book that came flying towards Catherine in a tight grip.


    Bryan often yed basketball and could even catch a basketball spinning at high speed, not to mention


    a book.


    Seeing Bryan in action, the few girls in the ss almost eximed in admiration.


    “Oh, Bryan is so cool!”


    The mathematics teacher’s expression turned very nasty after the book had been intercepted.


    At first, she had a good impression of Bryan, as he was from an influential family and had good grades,


    despite being wild.


    However, she was highly annoyed by Bryan’s behavior today. With a frown, she looked at Bryan


    warningly. “Bryan, what are you doing?”


    Bryan looked up at the mathematics teacher with a serious expression.


    “Miss, don’t you know you can’t hit a student?”


    Maybe she didn’t imagine Bryan would tell her off, the mathematics teacher was stunned and only


    recovered herself a momentter. Her eyes were filled with rage as she looked at Bryan.


    “It is my ss now. She is sleeping in my ss. Is that right then?”


    Bryan didn’t know why he was so irritated to see the mathematics teacher attacking Catherine. That


    was why he talked back to her.


    Besides, he didn’t like how the mathematics teacher treated her students differently. She was


    particrly tolerant towards those from powerful families and looked down upon the students from less


    powerful families, even if they had good grades.


    Even though the students of ss 8 generally had good grades and came from influential families,


    they were not all the same. Each of them had their own strengths and weaknesses.


    In the face of the mathematics teacher’s response, Bryan talked back to her again without thinking, “It


    is true that she shouldn’t sleep in ss, but since she is a new student and probably doesn’t know the


    rules, shouldn’t you at least try to talk to her about it first?”


    The mathematics teacher was so angry that she was about to explode. After hearing Bryan’s words,


    she smiled particrly mockingly suddenly. Her eyes were full of disdain as she looked at Catherine


    again.


    “Here I was, wondering who she was. So she is the new student in ss 8, the girl rumored to have


    never been to school. No wonder she sleeps in ss!”


    The whole ss was stunned. They had only heard about it from the rumors.


    The mathematics teacher’s words seemed to have confirmed everyone’s guesses.


    As such, was Catherine so uneducated that she was even illiterate?


    The mathematics teacher felt even angrier seeing Catherine was still sound asleep and continued, “Let


    me tell you. By letting someone so worthless into our ss, the school is. trying to remind you that she


    is the ssic bad example. If you don’t study hard, you’ll be like her too. She’s like a pig waiting to


    be ughtered, as all she does is sleep and eat all day.”


    Her words were so nasty. Catherine only didn’t know the rules as she had never been to school before


    and was new to the school.


    Besides, what could she do if she couldn’t understand the things taught in ss?


    It was so humiliating for the mathematics teacher to describe her as a pig waiting to be ughtered.


    “Let me tell you this…” The mathematics teacher was about to continue.


    Bang!


    Bryan pounded on the table hard and stood up, staring furiously at the mathematics teacher.


    “Is this what a teacher should be like?”


    In the face of Bryan’s questioning, the mathematics teacher couldn’t take it anymore and retorted


    sternly, “Bryan, don’t think that you can get away from not respecting your teacher because you have


    good grades ande from a powerful family.”


    “Not respecting you?” A mocking sneer appeared on Bryan’s handsome face. “How dare call yourself


    our teacher? You attacked a student and called a student a pig. You do whatever you want here


    because you’re on good terms with the daughter-inw of a school board member. Do you really think


    it’s because of you that ss 8 has good grades?”


    The mathematics teacher indeed came to ss 8 not long ago. She had been boasting about how


    good the mathematics grades of the ss were ever since.


    In fact, the mathematics grades of ss 8 were even better before she hade to the ss.


    The mathematics teacher didn’t expect Bryan to call her out like that. She was so mad that she


    was shaking as she red at Bryan and pointed a finger at him.


    “Get out of here now! I wouldn’t allow scum like you to be in my ss. Leave now!”


    Bryan stayed rooted on the spot. He wanted to know what the mathematics teacher could do to him!


    Suddenly, everyone turned their eyes to someone next to Bryan.


    Even Bryan noticed something off and turned to take a look.


    Catherine was awake and leaning against the back of the chair as she lookedzily at Bryan.


    A look at her left Bryan in a daze!
