Very Regretful, Very Broken Down (1)

"Clap, clap, clap."

The thunderous applause from the audience was relentless.

The leaders and mentors present for the defense extended a warm welcome, but Wu Wanying remained frozen in place.

She stared at Si Fuqing, who was seated next to Cai Zhongnian, her mind going blank.

What had she just heard?

Special guest judge? Si Fuqing?

Si Fuqing, a mere celebrity, how could she qualify as a special guest judge?

This was the graduate student defense for Xia University's medical department!

Even for an undergraduate defense, Si Fuqing had no place there.

Wu Wanying's teeth were chattering, her body growing colder by the second, and she felt utterly dazed.

"Wu Wanying?" the host called again. "Wu Wanying, are you here?"

Professor Li frowned. "Wanying, what are you thinking? Today's judges are heavyweights."

Wu Wanying snapped back to reality, her palms sweaty.
