Su Can slipped out during the last class, naturally taking advantage of the fact that the subject teacher did not know about this transfer student yet. He had already chosen his spot: the ground floor of the Arts Building beside the school gate.
The Arts Building was secluded beneath the trees, whose broad, banana-like leaves densely screened its surroundings. Crucially, he could see everyone entering and leaving the gate from here. Most importantly, he wanted to see Tang Wu. Even a glimpse would be enough, even if he could not appear before her yet.
The first and most effective way to see her was to wait outside her classroom. But that would greatly increase the chance of an abrupt encounter. Thinking of Tang Wu's letter, Su Can abandoned that idea.
