Chapter 32 - The book

Zou Chen's mind raced as he processed the implications of what Skyy had just said. If Skyy couldn't write, then who had written the scathing diary entries that had both intrigued and infuriated him? He glanced down at the notebook again, the clumsy L's and I's staring back at him.

"Alright, let's go," Chen said gruffly, grabbing Skyy's arm and pulling him up.

"Hey! I said class isn't over!" Skyy protested, but Chen ignored him, dragging him towards the door.

The kindergarten teacher, a middle-aged woman with kind eyes, stepped forward. "Is there a problem, Mr. Chen?"

"No problem," Chen replied shortly, not in the mood for explanations. "Skyy's coming with me."

Skyy shot an apologetic look at the teacher and the little girl with the pigtails who looked on the verge of tears. "I'll be back," he whispered to her, and she nodded bravely, blinking back tears.
