"Wang Xiao, wait!"
The unexpected voice brought Wang Xiao to an abrupt halt, his curiosity piqued.
He turned to find Chen Li, a short-haired boy from his class, looking at him urgently. "Wait for me, near the left entrance," Chen Li suggested before dashing back towards their classroom.
Wang Xiao's eyes narrowed as he watched Chen Li's retreating figure.
Without a word, he shouldered his school bag and made his way towards the left entrance, keeping a discreet distance from the school's boundaries.
As he walked along the perimeter, he noticed a particular section of the school's boundaries where the walls were slightly shorter, just enough for someone to jump over.
This infamous exit point was a well-known spot among students seeking to skip school.
Whoosh!
And then, with a sudden rush of air, a school bag soared over the wall, landing neatly on his side.
