It seems I'll have to teach her a thing or two after marrying her.
"What advice do you have for me, teacher?" Nan Qianyue regained her composure, pretending that she wasn't the one who had just fallen asleep.
Xu Taigong's solemn gaze fell on her, and he said, "You are the first person to fall asleep in my class. Do you have any objections to what I'm saying?"
Nanqian Yue gave an awkward but polite smile. "The students had no objections. On the contrary, they agreed wholeheartedly, so much so that they were so engrossed in listening that they entered another world."

The students were filled with admiration. With such unparalleled talent, what did it matter if he took a nap?
