At the Academy
As class had just ended, Yang Ming was tidying up his books and pens when he heard his classmates chatting leisurely.
"Hey, let me tell you something interesting."
"What is it?"
"There's a woman talking with a dog at the entrance of the Academy, and they are really hitting it off."
"Really?"
"Could there be any doubt? I saw it myself when I came in, she was talking to the dog, and the dog was responding."
"That's really strange. Should we go out and take a look?"
"Yes, let's go see."
The speaker turned and asked Yang Ming, "Yang Ming, are you coming?"
"I'll pass; I need to return to my place to pack up some things, I'm going home soon."
Seeing Yang Ming decline, the group immediately crowded out the door, very interested in the scene of a person talking to a dog; they all went to watch the excitement.
Yang Ming shook his head as he watched everyone leave. He wasn't in the mood for such excitement, and besides, it was just a woman; what was there to see?
