"Hey, they’re your days to live, as long as you’re happy." Liang Hongmei surely understood, but she was just heartbroken for her daughter.
Although she’s married to a man from the city, he’s never home all day, which is no different than being without a husband.
Lin Wan took Liang Hongmei home, braved the rain to ride home, changed her clothes, and rushed to school.
Lin Wan didn’t ride a bike; she wore rubber shoes and carried an umbrella, arriving at school early.
Due to the heavy rain, quite a few students took leave. Yin Peibai didn’t come.
Seeing the sparse few students in class, the teacher wasn’t teaching wholeheartedly, and Lin Wan sighed inwardly, thinking in future, she’d also skip school on rainy days.
She understood all this anyway.
Originally, the second class was supposed to be English, but unexpectedly, Li Liang walked in.
Every time Lin Wan saw him, she couldn’t help but want to tear up this beast in human form. Every time she forcibly controlled herself, trying her best not to look at him.
Because there were few people, Li Liang didn’t teach anything new, just asked everyone to review exercises.
Drawing figures had become second nature to her. Lin Wan buried her head thinking about clothes from future generations, simply sketching a clothing design.
"Nicely drawn, the clothing design is very novel." A sudden male voice from behind startled Lin Wan, who was absorbed in her work.
Turning around, she saw Li Liang staring at her with a smile.
Lin Wan frowned, covered her artwork with her hand, turned back around, and ignored him.
Li Liang was momentarily surprised. Last time, after hearing this from Ye Qing, he couldn’t recall it for half a day. It was only today he realized, this Lin Wan seemed to always be absent during his classes.
"Do you hate me very much?" Li Liang wasn’t angered by Lin Wan’s rudeness. Instead, he directly sat in Yin Peibai’s seat, turned to smile at her.
"No," Lin Wan didn’t even glance at him.
Unexpectedly, Li Liang chuckled softly twice, his voice low as if afraid of disturbing other students, "Why do I feel like you really dislike me, like you’re very hostile towards me? Have we met before and offended you somehow?"
Li Liang’s words made Lin Wan pause, she looked up at him, suppressing her discomfort, shook her head, "Mr. Li must be mistaken, nothing of the sort."
"Why do you always take leave during my classes?"
"There’s an elderly person at home who needs care, so sometimes I can’t come. It was unintentional that it’s always Mr. Li’s classes. But don’t worry, Mr. Li, I’ll try my best to keep up with the lessons." Lin Wan tried to remain calm, taking deep breaths to manage her inner discomfort. She wasn’t sure if, should Li Liang continue sitting, she might feel nauseous and vomit.
"Your foundational skills are great, keep working hard, and feel free to come to me if you don’t understand anything." Li Liang stood up with a smile, saying this while intentionally patting Lin Wan’s shoulder.
Unexpectedly, Lin Wan stood up abruptly, glaring at Li Liang viciously, causing him to awkwardly halt his hand in mid-air.
Because of the sudden movement, the classmates instinctively glanced over.
Li Liang was used to casually patting shoulders or placing his hand on thighs when with female classmates, actions were very casual, not easily mistaken for misbehavior, and instead making female students feel he was friendly. Li Liang hadn’t expected Lin Wan to react so strongly, but he responded quickly, smoothly lowering his hand, turning to leave Yin Peibai’s seat, with a bright smile still on his face, "What’s wrong with Lin? Is there something uncomfortable?"
