In the last minute, a contestant, panting heavily, rushed into the classroom. Upon seeing Qin Jiran, he clearly paused for a moment before hurriedly explaining, "Qin, Teacher Qin, sorry, I'm late, I, I..."
"One more minute, take your seat," Qin Jiran interrupted the contestant's explanation and gestured for him to sit down.
The contestant was taken aback but soon revealed a smile of surprise, bowed to Qin Jiran, and quickly took his seat. The contestant sitting next to him immediately gave him a thumbs up, and the latecomer wore a grateful smile. He owed a debt of thanks to the friend who had texted him, or else he really would have been late.
