Qiao Sang looked at Dai Shushu for two seconds and smiled, "Yes, do you have anything else?"
Dai Shushu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she shook her head, "No."
Qiao Sang turned around and returned to the classroom.
As soon as she sat down, Fang Sisi leaned over, "What did Dai Shushu say to you? You look so pale."
"Do I look very pale?" Qiao Sang asked.
"Yes, your face is all stiff, you scared me to death," Fang Sisi joked.
If there had been a mirror, Qiao Sang would have wanted to take a look at herself.
Fang Sisi continued to ask, "What exactly did Dai Shushu want from you?"
"Nothing," Qiao Sang picked up her book and began to read again.
Fang Sisi wanted to ask more, but seeing Qiao Sang's expression, indicating she did not want to talk about it, she closed her mouth.
When the morning classes were over, Qiao Sang packed up her things and went to the office of the ninth grade section.
"Teacher, I need to ask for leave," Qiao Sang said, focusing on the teacher's thick hair.
The class teacher stood up abruptly.
There was another female teacher in the office, and her gaze immediately locked onto them.
The class teacher restrained himself, "Do you know what you're saying? There are only a few days left until the middle school exams, and you want to ask for leave. I still haven't asked you to write a reflection paper for skipping class last time."
Qiao Sang seriously said, "Teacher, if you don't grant me leave, I'll have to skip class. I'll make up the reflection paper."
A vein popped in the class teacher's temple, "Do your family members know about this leave of absence?"
Qiao Sang did not answer.
The class teacher took a deep breath, sat down, and spoke earnestly, "If you don't want your mother to make another trip to the school, then go back to class. The teacher wronged you last time, but even if you have awakened independently, you can't neglect your studies. There are only a few days left until the middle school exams."
Qiao Sang smiled, "Last Friday, when my mom came to the school, you were there too, teacher."
The class teacher paused for a moment, then said, "I asked your mother to come to the school to explain the skipping incident."
Qiao Sang tilted her head and asked, "Why did you send my mom away?"
The class teacher was stunned, his face complex, thinking it was Qiao Sang's mother who had told her, and for a moment he did not know how to respond.
He shared an office with the class teacher of class nine.
That day, class nine's Dai Shushu and her mother had come to the school at the same time as Qiao Sang's mother.
Dai Shushu had just been given a guaranteed placement at Shengshui Middle School, and the head teacher had come over to congratulate her.
Naturally, the office's attention was all on class nine.
At this time, Qiao Sang's mother explained that her daughter had forgotten to ask for leave in the excitement of independently awakening and contracting a Pet Beast.
Kids might lie, but adults certainly shouldn't be indiscreet; he naturally believed her.
This was supposed to be a happy event, but unexpectedly, the office's attention turned to them, and after a few questions and answers, Qiao Sang's background was completely exposed.
Dai Shushu's mother mocked her a few times, and Qiao Sang's mother started arguing with her.
Dai Shushu cried on the side.
As the school's treasured student, they couldn't allow her to feel wronged, so the head teacher spoke up and asked Qiao Sang's mother to leave.
The class teacher considered himself to be a qualified teacher.
He was not good at interpersonal relationships but worked diligently, and it took him more than twenty years of struggle before he finally became a class teacher.
This long journey had taken away all his former vigor, and he didn't dare speak up even when the parents of his students were treated differently.
Yet, he felt he had done nothing wrong, since he was merely a bystander the entire time; there was no need to explain the process to a child.
The class teacher paused for a moment, then said, "It wasn't sending away, it was asking, just to let your mother calm down a bit."
