Top-notch Master Masquerading As Cannon Fodder Female Companion Chapter 149 - Why Dont You Claim That the Professor Invited

This was so bizarre. She was brilliant, but perhaps she didn’t know how to overco an awkward situation like this.

Although she had wanted to sit in on this class, she didn’t know if she could deal with the hostility of all the other students.

“Junior,” one of the second-year students in the class scoffed at her and said mockingly, “let give you a piece of advice. You should make more intelligent choices. In life, you should progress one step at a ti. It’s exactly the sa as how you eat: food should be eaten bite by bite. In the sa way, you should also learn a bit at a ti. You shouldn’t attempt to run before learning how to walk. A single bite wouldn’t be sufficient to fatten soone up.”

Although Tan Mo really felt like leaving right this minute, she didn’t want Wu Xiaoye to gain the upper hand.

So she decided to continue to try to convince them. “Senior Wu Xiaoye was the one who asked to sit in and listen.”

She’d decided not to bring up the fact that the professor had tried to recruit her.

First of all, no one would believe her. And secondly, everyone would really hate her if she said that.

Sure enough, one of the students sneered at her the mont she said this. “Why don’t you claim that Professor Zhao invited you here?”

“Do you think she’s stupid?” Soone else jumped into the conversation. “The professor will be arriving soon. If she claims that it was he who recruited her, wouldn’t she be exposed imdiately? Senior Wu is currently pursuing his PhD degree and definitely won’t be present. Even if soone uses his na, he won’t know.”

“That’s true,” soone else piped up. “Professor Zhao doesn’t really bother about these matters. He wouldn’t care if an extra person sat in the classroom. After all, there isn’t much difference to him, whether it’s 21 or 20 students. If we had believed her and hadn’t said anything, the professor wouldn’t have said a word about it. She would almost certainly have succeeded in crashing the lecture.”

“Didn’t you already apologize to us? Didn’t you say that you were leaving? Why have you suddenly claid that Senior Wu asked you here?” One more student spoke up. “What are you really trying to do?”

“So you’re saying that I can’t sit in for this lecture?” Tan Mo asked the class one more ti.

“Of course!”

A few of them chid in together. She had no idea how many people had spoken up since the room was quite noisy.

“Then I apologize for disturbing all of you.” Tan Mo nodded her head and turned around to leave. She was practically skipping she was so happy.

However, the instant she stepped out of the door of the classroom, she bumped into Wu Xiaoye in the corridor.

Wu Xiaoye was in the midst of transporting a table. It was a table for one person and wasn’t very heavy.

There was an overturned chair on the table.

“Tan Mo, where are you going?” Wu Xiaoye asked in shock.

Although the table wasn’t very heavy…

He had dragged it all the way here and was honestly quite exhausted.

Sweat was dripping down his back.

“I just went to get you a table and a chair,” Wu Xiaoye explained. “If I recall correctly, there aren’t enough tables and chairs in this classroom. I rushed over before my class started.”

Otherwise, the professor would certainly have scolded him.

“Senior, you’re quite an unreliable person,” Tan Mo puffed up her cheeks as she spoke angrily.

Wu Xiaoye put the table and chair down in the hallway. He was completely stupefied as he asked, “How am I unreliable?”

Wu Xiaoye felt extrely wronged.

He had been extrely busy for Tan Mo’s sake.

He hadn’t been able to rest for days.

“All 20 spots in the class have been filled.” Tan Mo pointed at the classroom door. “What’s more, only the top 20 students are qualified to sit in this lecture. You casually slotted in on a whim, and all the seniors are quite unhappy. If it was acceptable to crash lectures, then everyone could casually sit in whenever they wanted to. Why would anyone work hard?”

Wu Xiaoye wiped the sweat off his forehead. “It’s my fault for not making things clear. Follow , I will speak to them.”

Tan Mo thought that even if Wu Xiaoye spoke to them, it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Other people were still going to think that Wu Xiaoye had made use of personal connections to secretly slot her in.

Wu Xiaoye was about to pick up the table again. Suddenly, he questioned Tan Mo with a grim expression on his face. “You wouldn’t have been planning to leave and skip class, am I right?”

Tan Mo: “……”

“It’s not that I don’t want to sit in…” Tan Mo felt rather wronged. This was certainly not her fault. “But these seniors are quite firm in their opinion that I shouldn’t be allowed to sit in. They’re not willing to have anyone sit in.”

“Didn’t you tell them that I asked you to co?” Wu Xiaoye put the table and chair down again as he asked.

“I ntioned it. They asked why I didn’t claim it was Professor Zhao who had asked instead.” Tan Mo had not dramatized the situation at all. She’d repeated their words exactly.

Wu Xiaoye: “……”

They obviously hadn’t believed her.

“Follow , let’s go. I’ll tell them personally.” Wu Xiaoye lifted up the table and chair once more. “Little girl, don’t assu that you’ll be able to skip one class just because your seniors aren’t happy with you sitting in.”

Tan Mo: “……”

How did you know?

“Of course not,” Tan Mo imdiately replied. “I’m not that kind of person.”

Wu Xiaoye froze for a mont. He chided her with a grin, “Ying Siyuan and his friends didn’t teach you very well. You’ve beco quite rotten.”

Tan Mo found this unacceptable. Little snow fairies weren’t rotten creatures.

She was about to answer him back. However, unfortunately, Wu Xiaoye had already moved the chair and table into the classroom.

Tan Mo had no choice but to follow behind him.

When Wu Xiaoye stepped inside, he realized that the students were still in a heated discussion.

“How shaless, she actually attempted to crash this class.”

“How impressive of her. She even ca up with such a crazy idea to crash our class.”

When Wu Xiaoye heard this, his face got dark.

When everyone realized that he had entered with a table and chair, everyone quieted down and stared at Wu Xiaoye in shock.

One mont later, they saw Tan Mo walk in behind Wu Xiaoye, even though she had just left.

Many people frowned.

From the looks of it, Tan Mo had probably told the truth.

Wu Xiaoye had really asked her to sit in.

Even though Wu Xiaoye was Professor Zhao’s ntee, he shouldn’t be able to pull such strings.

The class schedule and attendance list couldn’t be determined by Wu Xiaoye.

However, most of them didn’t dare to offend Wu Xiaoye.

Because all of them still held on to a glimr of hope.

They hoped to form good connections with Wu Xiaoye, with the chance that Wu Xiaoye might recomnd them to the research team.

Even if he wouldn’t, Wu Xiaoye could also lend a helping hand in the event that they needed his assistance in the future.

For these reasons, everyone decided to endure Tan Mo’s presence temporarily.

However, no one expected Wu Xiaoye to place the table in the middle of the front row.

There were originally 20 sets of tables and chairs in the classroom.

They had been placed in a four X five arrangent.

Wu Xiaoye spoke to the people in the second row, “Move back one row.”

When the people in the second row heard this, they could no longer hold in their anger.

“By letting her sit in, she’s already breaking the rules. Since she is sitting in, she should be more low-key and find a corner seat. We are bending the rules as a show of respect for you, Senior Wu,” a girl in the first row spoke up. “But now you’re even asking us to shift one row back. You’re crossing the line by giving her the best seat.”

“That’s right, Senior Wu. All of us respect you, but you can’t bully us in this way.”

“Just now, she claid that you were the one who’d arranged for her to sit in. Initially, we didn’t believe her. But now it looks as if it’s true.”

“I was the one who arranged it.” Wu Xiaoye nodded his head.

He frowned. He hadn’t expected these students to be so opposed to this.

“Senior Wu, you don’t have the authority to allow soone to sit in, right?”

Everyone had thrown caution to the wind now, no longer afraid to offend Wu Xiaoye. “Otherwise, what’s the use of working hard for these 20 spots? When you pull strings like this, it makes our hard work look like a joke.”
