The class was halfway through by the time Lin Yi arrived, and it didn’t take long before the bell rang. Ms. Liu made sure to assign the students homework before leaving the classroom.
Kang Xiaobo turned around to look at Lin Yi, his tone somewhat complaining. “Jeez, boss! You scared me, I thought you weren’t coming today!”
“What, Zhong Pinliang and his friends giving you a hard time? Aren’t they absent?” Lin Yi said with a laugh. It was true- Xiaobo didn’t stand a chance against them without Lin Yi here. It was only natural for him to worry.
“Absent? They were here this morning, and Naipao’s face was all swollen, with band-aids and everything!” Xiaobo said. “But they left after taking a look around, maybe because you weren’t here?”
“Oh? They came to school?” It was outside of Lin Yi’s expectations, but it didn’t really matter to him if they left after coming, or if they’d come at all- it was all the same. “Let them do what they want.”
