Sean Kerr suddenly opened his eyes and saw a scene that looked strangely familiar.
Where... where is this?
"Sean, my daughter Rona Muir will be home soon. You're her senior, so please look after her." The familiar voice of Professor Mu rang in his ears, and Sean Kerr was stunned.
This is...
At that moment, the sound of a key turning in the door echoed, and an even more familiar voice called out from the entrance: "Mom, Dad, I'm home! My scores are out—teacher said I’ll definitely get into a top university. Huh? Do we have a guest?"
A younger Rona Muir stood before him, looking just seventeen or eighteen.
Sean felt dizzy, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Was he dreaming?
He was actually dreaming about the day he first met Rona Muir!
He couldn't help but pinch his palm hard.
Ouch! That hurts! That hurts!
This isn't a dream?
Did he really come back?
Did he really return to the past?
Rona Muir looked at the man in front of her, whose face was filled with surprise, pain, and hope. She couldn't help but twitch her lips. Was this guy crazy?
"Who are you? Are you my dad's student?" Rona Muir couldn't help but ask.
"Hello, I'm Professor Mu's student. My name is Sean Kerr. Nice to meet you, please take care of me." Sean finally snapped out of it, and just like in his previous life, greeted Rona Muir and added, "I'll protect you!"
Rona Muir breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, then widened her eyes and said, "What? You're Sean Kerr! You're the genius Sean Kerr my dad keeps talking about?!"
Heh, her reaction really is exactly the same as in his previous life.
Since Heaven has given me this chance to start over, I won't miss you again!
"That's me," Sean Kerr replied with a smile. "But don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you with Professor Mu! I'm his favorite student, he'll believe me."
Rona Muir gave him a proud, cat-like glance. "Really? Then I don't want to apply for the business management department..."
Before Rona Muir could finish, Professor Mu's voice rang out: "Nana, you're back? What was your score? Can you get into a top university? The business management department's cutoff is pretty high this year."
Rona Muir replied weakly, "Teacher said the top university cutoff is no problem."
Hearing her reply, the whole family lit up with joy.
"Come on, come on, let's eat and talk!" Mrs. Mu smiled and called everyone to the dining room.
Sean Kerr sensibly helped serve the dishes, not acting the least bit like a spoiled young master—he treated Professor Mu's home as if it were his own.
Rona Muir tried to find fault with him but couldn't find a single thing wrong.
During dinner, no matter what Professor Mu and Sean Kerr talked about, Sean always had a quick and clever response. Professor Mu grew more and more satisfied with this student.
Even while feeling satisfied, Professor Mu couldn't resist teasing Rona Muir: "Nana, you should learn from your senior. Just look at you..."
