"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?"
The young teacher seemed to have a rough time too. Her face was riddled with fatigue, and she had heat patches pasted on her shoulder, peeking from her t-shirt.
"Li Caiyi, I have talked with your mother and brother about your problem. And the school board agreed that we will have Lu Ruan drop out of the school."
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.
"Listen, I didn't mean to correct Lu Ruan's behavior, but do you think you can re-think your decision? She is…how should I say this? Lu Ruan isn't exactly growing up in a 'good' environment. You also saw how her parents treated her yesterday, right?"
