"Mr. Li, why are you here?"
Although the history professor wanted to ask more, Nelson Li didn't answer his question but instead asked, "Sir, may I go in?"
"Yes, of course."
The professor understood that Nelson might not want to have his identity exposed. After all, most of the students there didn't know about his important status in this campus.
After getting the professor's approval, Nelson immediately scanned around the classroom, and then he finally rested his eyes on Lily Jiang. Lily was also looking at him.
Lily was sitting on one of the seats in the second row from the back of the classroom. Nelson slowly went toward her, his eyes solely on her. But at that moment, he noticed a male student sitting next to Lily.
Nelson asked the male student, "Excuse me? Can you please move to another seat?"
"Who are you? Why should I change my seat?"
The male student's face instantly darkened. He had managed with all his efforts to sit next to a beautiful girl, but someone dared ask him to move to another seat. How could he give up the best seat in the classroom where he had a clear view of a beautiful girl sitting right next to him? 'Who on earth is this man? How dare he ask me to move away! The professor is still giving his lecture!' thought the male student angrily.
"I am sorry. Please give your seat to me. I have something to talk with her," Nelson said politely as he pointed at Lily. He indeed had something to tell Lily. Linda had instructed him to ask Lily's opinion on whether she was willing to stay in the Mu clan's villa during her summer vacation to keep Linda company.
"What do you want to tell her? Okay, I know. You just want to confess your love to her, right? Please queue up. There are a lot of men in front of you, waiting for their turns to confess to Lily. Who do you think you are? Do you think that Lily would like you? You don't look like a student of this school. Get out now, and give up on pursuing Lily!"
The male student poured out a flow of words in a scornful way, which irritated Nelson. What did he mean by saying those?
Nelson was about to retort, but Lily said in an imposing manner, "Sam Zhao, could you please move to another seat? This is my boyfriend."
The male student called Sam Zhao was shocked by her words. 'What? Lily Jiang has a boyfriend? I have been pestering her for more than two months but failed to make her my girlfriend!' thought Sam with disappointment.
"Why should I move? This is my seat. Why do I have to give it to your boyfriend?"
Sam got angry.
After all, he regarded himself as one of the powerful playboys in the school. He was always able to get any woman he wanted.
"Fine, then I'll go," Lily said impatiently. She stood up from her seat, grabbed her books on the desk, walked away, and pulled Nelson to sit with her in the last row.
The other people in the classroom were curiously looking at the farce, but nobody dared to utter a single word. The professor also didn't want to intervene in their business. When he saw the classroom turn quiet again, the professor went on with his lecture. Nelson and Lily just minded their own business in the last row of the room.
Obviously, Lily was wearing an angry face. Nelson didn't know how to start a conversation with her, so he had to sit quietly there. They both remained silent.
Ten minutes later, Lily finally couldn't bear it and turned her head to look at Nelson, asking, "Why are you here?"
"Well... Lady Linda asked me to come. She wanted to know if you were willing to stay in her mansion during your summer vacation, to keep her company," said Nelson.
"So that's why you are here today?" Lily's face got even darker.
"Yes."
"Are you sure that you have nothing else to tell me?" Lily continued to ask.
In fact, Nelson was desperately eager to meet Lily himself. But he was a very conservative man, and he felt so embarrassed to speak out his true feelings toward Lily. He turned his head to look at Lily. He saw the furious look on her face.
"What's up?" Nelson asked with confusion. He didn't understand how he had irritated Lily.
