The bell for class rang, and Lu Chen returned from the administration building.
The first class was physics, and he gestured to Tang Xing in the back row to swap seats with him; the confused girl complied nonetheless.
Engrossed in her own thoughts, Jiang Shuyao had just taken out her textbook when a soothing voice reached her ears.
"Don't worry about the online forum issue, the school is already looking into it."
She didn't realize her desk mate had changed and stared blankly at Lu Chen, slowly regaining her composure.
Jiang Shuyao nodded imperceptibly at him, then turned her attention back to focusing on the lesson.
The girl's profile was delicate and beautiful, beneath which lay a resilience and calm.
Lu Chen withdrew his gaze from her face, thinking about the conversation he had with his father in the administration office just minutes earlier.
Principal Lu had managed Yunzhong for over a decade and weathered countless storms.
