    In fact, Xiao Li had said this to her once before. The same tone and the same content immediately brought Yu Manman back to a certain day in college.

    Although the acquaintance with Xiao Li was not a pleasant one, Yu Manman not only did not dare to skip classes for a long time after that, but also did a lot of stupid things to make up for it in order to please the assistant teacher who gradually grasped the overall situation.

    For example, he takes the initiative to buy lunch for Xiao Li at noon every day. Another example is that every once in a while, when he encounters a milk tea shop and the second cup is half price, he will bring a cup to Xiao Li.

    At that time, although Xiao Li basically rested in the teacher’s office after class, he was not a real in-service teacher after all. His teacher had to drag Xiao Li to gossip for a long time every time Man Man left.

    “Yu Manman, what do you want to do?”

    “I want to bring you food!” Yu Manman was wearing a ponytail, revealing her bright forehead, and her simple hairstyle exuded unparalleled vitality. “Teacher, you have worked too hard in class, and you have to go to the cafeteria to get tired.”

    Xiao Li looked at Yu Manman’s big eyes and said nothing for three seconds: “Do you think it’s appropriate for you to bring me food?”

    “Is there anything inappropriate?” Yu Manman tilted her head, “What I gave you was food, not money. You are a teaching assistant and not a professor. You have no real power and cannot be considered a bribe. I think this is the students’ compassion and respect for the teacher. It is a very warm and positive emotion, Teacher Xiao.”

    “I think there should be a better way to express compassion and respect.” Xiao Li looked at the girl’s big glass bead-like eyes, “You do this because I have been calling your name in every class lately, so there is no need for you to do such a thing.”

    “Of course not.” Yu Manman felt a little guilty for a moment after being poked into his troubles: “Can’t it be because of something else?”

    “What else?” Xiao Li was more than a head taller than Yu Manman, looking at her condescendingly with cold eyes, with an expression of “Let me hear if you have any more nonsense.”

    Yu Manman held the rice in her hand, and the reason was readily available when she licked her lips: “You eat first, and I’ll tell you while you eat.”

    It was already late at that time, so Yu Manman had no classes in the first or second period in the afternoon so he could relax and enjoy himself. However, Xiao Li had classes in the first period and had no time to waste time with Yu Manman.

    Fortunately, today only he, the teacher in the office, is going to give a class for the old professor in the afternoon, and the other teachers he have already left.Xiao Li took the lunch box from Yu Manman’s hand and turned into the office. He didn’t need to look back to know that Yu Manman must have followed closely.

    “Because I want to make progress. I feel like I can get some exercise by following you. As the saying goes, a good bird will choose its tree to roost. Listening to your class makes me feel that it is very helpful to have a bright future. Of course I have to be nice to you.”

    Yu Manman took advantage of the opportunity to flatter him, and said whatever good things came to his mind without even picking it up.She followed Xiao Li back to his desk and sat next to him very naturally: “And you see how seriously I have listened to my lectures recently. I have been in the first row to register for every class. Can’t you feel my sincerity!”

    Xiao Li opened the lid of the lunch box without saying anything, and he didn’t know whether he heard Yu Manman’s flattery. Seeing that the lunch box was full of light dishes that suited his taste, he suddenly laughed as if he had thought of something.

    “Want to get some exercise?”

    Not only did Xiao Li’s sudden smile not make Yu Manman feel friendly at all, but it played over and over again in her mind like an air-raid siren. But what she said would throw water away. Yu Manman thought for a moment to reach out and not hit the smiling person. She flattered her so much that Xiao Li would not repay kindness with evil, so she nodded bravely.

    “Well, I happen to have an essay competition on hand. I was originally going to choose someone from your class to participate, but I’m still hesitating about the candidate. Since you are so motivated, I’ll leave it to you.”

    Isn’t it true that you are so casual??Yu Manman was stunned for a moment and felt that she had fallen into a trap. Not to mention her half bucket of water, not to mention participating in the competition, it is probably too difficult to go back to write elementary school students’ compositions now: “Don’t, don’t, Teacher Xiao, I haven’t even taken a step forward yet, and you just kicked me away, so what’s the point?”

    “You can walk faster by kicking.” The smile on Xiao Li’s face faded, “You are already a junior in college, and you don’t have much time to make progress by walking slowly. What do you think, classmate Yu Manman?”

    Yu Manman felt that Xiao Li’s words seemed to end with a question mark, but his tone didn’t mean to ask at all. It sounded similar to what he usually sounded when assigning homework in class, just like a routine announcement.

    “Here is the general situation of the competition. You can refer to it. It is best to give me the first draft within this week.” Xiao Li said, opening the drawer and stuffing a thin document into Yu Manman’s hand.

    Yu Manman took the document and didn’t rush to read other things. She directly looked for the word count requirements first.

    More than 3,000 words and less than 10,000 words.

    She was dumbfounded: “Teacher Xiao, today is Wednesday.”

    “Well, my last class on Friday will be in your class.” Xiao Li opened the disposable chopsticks calmly, “It’s best if you can give it to me before noon on Friday.”

    “Then, what if I can’t write it!?” Yu Manman could hardly close his mouth, looking at Xiao Li with a very pitiful look, “Teacher Xiao, you can either choose a few more people and use the elimination system… Otherwise, I’m afraid of wasting your quota…”

    Xiao Li glanced at Yu Manman’s pitiful eyes expressionlessly, and after pondering for a long time, he said: “Let’s do this. If you have any questions during this period, you can contact me at any time, either by phone or WeChat.”

    That’s it?That’s it!?That’s it!??
