章 485: The Aftermath

"Haa…"

Li Caiyi heaved a long sigh. Her body felt heavy, but she forced herself to enter the teacher's office.

"Teacher Shi, do you call for me?"

It was an expected result. Li Caiyi calmly nodded her head. "I see."

Teacher Shi looked up at her inquisitively. Her disheveled hair slightly swayed as she moved closer. She scratched  her cheeks with an awkward look on her face.
