Side Story: Jiayu & Momo (1)

It was summer in June.

The shrill cries of the cicadas rose and fell in waves, and large areas on the ground were shaded by Chinese parasol trees.

Su Xiaomo was sleeping like there was no tomorrow in math class.

The corner of the math teacher's mouth twitched as he stopped himself from waking her up for the tenth time. He kept telling himself in his head, "It's okay. She's a smart student and she'll do fine without this one lesson!"

"Prrr…" He couldn't help but throw a chalk butt at her when she started to snore. "Su Xiaomo! That's enough!"

Back then, Su Xiaomo's deskmate was Kang Jian, who shook her awake and whispered, "Wake up!"

"What?" Su Xiaomo wiped her mouth and looked up at the math teacher, still half-asleep and with "who am I?". "where am I?" and "what am I doing in this world?" written all over her face.

The math teacher jabbed his chalk on the blackboard. "How do you solve this problem? Get up here and write down the answer!"
