" Of course I have a better name"
" Tell us! Tell us! What is it?"
"… Derrick"
" It's so perfect, I love it!"
" Uh! Uh! I also want a couples name"
" Be my couple?"
" Barf… Too ugly. Oh right, I want a couples name with Harrison"
" I am much better looking than Harrison"
" Don't overestimate yourself, you look like a pig and wish to be compared to a peacock, haha!"
" Exactly, have you seen yourself in a mirror?"
" I have, and I know I am handsome!"
" look bro, just accept the truth, or you'll keep hurting yourself"
" You too!?"
" Hey! I don't wish to be compared to a pig so yeah"
...
The class was in an uproar, Mr. Zhou's face was as red as a ripened tomato.
Pa! The noise went away as if it had never been there when he struck the table with the ruler.
He yelled at Delilah, "So you want to be caned, huh?"
Delilah bowed," I am sorry sir"
"Stop apologizing and open your hands," Mr. Zhou angrily commanded.
As Delilah raised her hands, Fredrick grabbed her wrist and drew her behind him, and the class gasped.
"What are you doing?" Delilah's voice was so cold, it was terrifying.
Frederick, on the other hand, had a more terrifying expression. He gave her a quick sidelong glance but remained silent. His icy-like eyes peered intently at Mr. Zhou, intimidating him. The temperature in the classroom quickly started to decrease.
His expression at that moment was unlike his usual sunny disposition—rather like a frigid dragon emerging from its slumber, it was neither sunny nor approachable.
Fredrick inhaled deeply for a brief moment before opening his eyes. With that, he tamed his dragon and reverted to his sunny demeanour, as a small smile formed on his lips.
2 seconds….
7 seconds….
12 seconds….
Delilah, who was behind him the entire time, felt goosebumps crawl up her arms to her back and the hairs on her arm stand up, the class was so stunned that no one could speak.
Mr. Zhou's face was constantly turning scarlet. "Fredrick Li, do not make me mad at you, remember you are one of my most cherished students," he menacingly said, slapping the ruler on the table once more. However, Fredrick did not seem to care.
Delilah emerged and stood before Mr. Zhou, quietly stretching out her hands she smiled faintly.
" I'm ready sir", she said.
"NO, I would accept it," Fredrick hurriedly stepped forward and extended his hand.
Just as Delilah was ready to refute him,
Pa! Mr. Zhou struck her outstretched hands with his ruler. Instantly, her brows knitted, and her face turned scarlet
