Teacher Lin distributed the books and exam results to each student.
Then she said, "Lu Ming, Qin Sheng, the principal would like to see you in his office."
Lu Ming was puzzled.
What could it be about?
Suddenly, a thought struck him. Could it be because he performed well in the exam? Was the school going to reward him with a bonus?
With this thought in mind, excitement surged within him.
He began to look forward to it.
Without waiting for Qin Sheng, he darted out of the classroom.
Qin Sheng, walking at a slower pace, strolled through the campus. The principal's office was quite a distance from the classroom.
On her way there, she happened to meet Su Yixiu.
Qin Sheng nodded and greeted him, "Yixiu."
Su Yixiu also acknowledged her with a slight nod.
Both were people of few words, so aside from the brief exchange, no further conversation followed.
They walked toward the principal's office together.
