Moreover, the driver’s clothing showed that he was nowhere near affluent.

500 Yuan should be quite a big sum for him. Of course, it was also a big sum for Cheng Nuo.

But Cheng Nuo was still a student. He hardly had the chance to spend his own money.

His parents provided everything he needed for his education. They were more enthusiastic about his studies than he was.

Cheng Nuo’s rejection of the compensation gave the driver a really good impression. But he still insisted and stuffed the notes into Cheng Nuo’s hand.

“Young man, just take it. I will feel very guilty if you don’t.”

Seeing how sincere the driver was, Cheng Nuo reluctantly nodded and accepted the money.

The driver laughed in relief and patted Cheng Nuo’s shoulder while taking out a business card. “Hahaha, that’s it, young man. Here, this is my business card. I have many friends around here. If you get into any trouble, you can always give me a call! Oh yeah, since you’re wearing a school uniform, you must be a student, right?”

“Yes, I’m from the Second High School of Qing Cheng…” Before Cheng Nuo could finish, something suddenly struck him and his face instantly turned pale.

He looked at his watch. “My goodness! Two more minutes to 8 AM!”

“I’m going to be late!

“Two minutes… I really need to rush!”

“Uncle, Auntie, sorry, I’m running late. Goodbye!” He then peddled furiously, disappearing in no time, leaving the driver and the lady exchanging confused glances with each other.

………

The time was 7:59:57 AM.

“Distance: 15.24 m, speed: 7.14 m/s, time: 2.13 s.”

Finally, after a sprint, Cheng Nuo stepped into the classroom 0.87 seconds before the bell rang.

He casually walked to his seat in the last row by the window as Old Man Tang stared at him from the door. Old Man Tang must’ve been thinking something along the lines of “you for lucky this time. Don’t let me catch you again”.

“Lucky you, Cheng Nuo. You almost got nagged at,” Cheng Nuo’s desk-mate, Hao Shuai, said with a smile as Cheng Nuo sat down.

Cheng Nuo shook his finger at Hao Shuai and said jauntily, “Lucky? No, no, no. It was all carefully calculated for me to come in just on time. Cool, right?”

“(ˉ▽̄~) Ha! Stop bluffing!” Hao Shuai was fully aware of how afraid Cheng Nuo was of Old Man Tang. Even if Cheng Nuo were twice as audacious, he still wouldn’t dare to risk coming just on time.

If he was even a second late, he would have to endure an endless nagging session from Old Man Tang!

“Hey, it’s true…” Cheng Nuo still wanted to prove himself, but Mr. Tang was already staring at him from the lecture podium.

Cheng Nuo immediately shut his mouth. Hao Shuai was right. He was terrified of Mr. Tang to the core.

His new ability could ensure that he always reached the classroom just on time, but he definitely wouldn’t dare to try again.

No one could bear Mr. Tang’s nagging. No one!
