Upon hearing Liu Shiqing's words, Ban Zhengping was able to accept, "Okay, regardless of whether you've benefited from others or not, you're still contributors. You've brought honor to our class and to Wuling County No.1 Middle School. I approve your leave. But remember, once you arrive in Fog City, don't be too indulged in having fun. As soon as possible, you should start your make-up classes. Actually, since both of you have composed the theme song for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Fog City, you might get extra points at the time of the College Entrance Examination. I will talk with the principal and try to get this additional credit for you."
After leaving Ban Zhengping's office, Liu Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief. Having such a responsible class teacher was a blessing as well as a source of pressure. If they had encountered a dispassionate teacher, no one would care why they were taking leave, and would simply approve it off-handedly.
