Lin Jiangyu
Morning light slanted through the window onto the desk surface, leaving only two people in the office.
A middle-aged female teacher sat behind the desk, finally pushed to the limit, addressing the teenage boy before her:
"You didn't show up to school at all yesterday afternoon. Skipping class again, huh?"
Zhao Manqin angrily tapped her fingers against the desk without stopping.
"Lin Jiangyu, I don't even know what to say to you anymore. Even if you don't study, you can't just skip class."
Lin Jiangyu furrowed his brows, hands shoved in his pockets, and spoke impatiently, his cool, distant voice echoing in the office:
"Got it, Teacher. Next time I'll ask for leave."
"Ask for leave?!"
Hearing Lin Jiangyu's perfunctory response, Zhao Manqin's anger flared even hotter.
"You said the exact same thing a few days ago! Do you have any idea how worried the school is about you?!"
She took a deep breath, trying to steady her temper.
"You vanished into thin air out of nowhere. If something happened to you, what would your family do? What would we, as your teachers, do? What would the school do?!"
The barrage of questions left Lin Jiangyu speechless.
His lips moved slightly, and just as he was about to go through the motions of apologizing, Zhao Manqin spoke again, her tone softening considerably—clearly intending to have a proper heart-to-heart with him.
"Lin Jiangyu, exams are right around the corner. Pull yourself together. Learn as much as you can, even if it's just a little bit."
Zhao Manqin relentlessly drilled life lessons into Lin Jiangyu, while he didn't absorb a single word, staring out the window expressionlessly, lost in who knows what thoughts.
"Are you even listening to me?!"
"Yeah, Teacher, keep going. I'm listening."
Zhao Manqin glared at Lin Jiangyu, looking as if she had more to say.
Just then, the office door slowly opened.
