Liang Qu had just left the Academy when he saw Li Libo waiting for him at the entrance. He looked around, and seeing that there was no one else nearby, it was clear Li Libo was waiting for him.
"Why did you come?"
Crouched by the curb, Li Libo looked up upon hearing the voice, spat out the grass stem from his mouth, and complained, "Finally, I see you. I asked Senior Brother Xiang, and he said you would finish school at 3 p.m., so I came a quarter of an hour early to wait for you, but didn't see you after a long wait.
I went and asked the old man at the gate, and he said you hadn't come out yet. I was too embarrassed to go in and disturb the seed of knowledge, so I ended up waiting more than an hour. Did you hook up with some rich girl inside?"
"I wish. All the kids in my classroom are just little children."
"So what were you doing in there?"
"Had some things to attend to and got delayed. Have you eaten yet? If not, let me treat you, we can eat together."
"That sounds great."
