"Xue Jiamin himself had high hopes for himself."
"I don't want him to have any regrets about this competition."
"No matter what the final result is, I hope he'll have performed to the best of his ability."
Teacher Gao couldn't help saying quite a bit.
"All right."
"Look at me, I start talking and can't stop."
Teacher Gao smiled wryly.
"You girls go on in."
"I'm leaving."
"Call me anytime if anything comes up."
This time, Teacher Gao left without any fuss.
They watched Teacher Gao's hurried figure disappear into a room at the end of the corridor, then turned their eyes away.
"Teachers really have it tough."
Xie Chuchu said with feeling.
"Mm."
Chi Xiuke nodded.
"I hope that kid with the stomachache is all right."
Xie Chuchu pushed open the door in front of her.
She was a little confused.
The sound of the key card unlocking the door hadn't been quiet.
They hadn't been speaking loudly in the doorway, but they hadn't kept their voices down, either.
The child inside should have heard the commotion outside.
If he had heard them...
Why hadn't he come to the door by now?
If he hadn't heard them...
Was he asleep?
Or was he in the bathroom and unable to come out?
Xie Chuchu entered the room, puzzled.
She looked up.
The whole room came into view.
At first glance, she didn't see the child.
Just as she was about to open the bathroom door beside her—
"He's over there."
Xiao Xiao gestured for the two girls to look by the window.
"Huh?"
Xie Chuchu narrowed her eyes.
Where?
She walked farther into the room.
Chi Xiuke followed Xie Chuchu.
Xiao Xiao brought up the rear.
Xie Chuchu looked around.
