Mother wasn't as inclined to lie about her situation since people here could easily ask around and find the truth, but there was no reason for Xuan Lingwen not to lie in her eyes. She hasn't been ingrained with the social trust system of not telling false information.
After half a day of playing around combined with classes, the teachers ordered the children to take a nap. As always, Xuan Lingwen excused herself from naptime with her mother's note and settled down with a book in her hands instead. The teachers merely glanced at the note and returned it back then returned their attention to helping the other kids lie down. Xuan Lingwen left the nap room as she knew the teachers, caretakers really, would turn the lights off once the other children were comfortable. She sat down in the lit hallway, next to the door to the nap room, leaned against the white plastered wall with colorful scribbles, and opened her book.
