"Cheng Ling, let me ask you,"
At the Heavenly Lotus Academy cafeteria, Ren Suo listlessly poked at his Hainanese Chicken Rice, his eyes glued to his phone as he suddenly asked Dong Chengling across him, who was eating a larger serving of teriyaki chicken rice, "What would you do if you couldn't finish your homework at night and not finishing it would get you beaten by your dad?"
Dong Chengling mumbled unclearly, "I've never not finished my homework."
"What if Godzilla attacked your school and you had no time to do your homework?"
"My dad still wouldn't hit me."
"What if your dad is extra angry that night because he missed breakfast and lunch?"
"Going hungry does make one prone to anger," Dong Chengling thought seriously for a moment, then said, "Then I'd stay up all night to finish my homework."
"What if you're already very tired and don't want to do it?" Ren Suo asked.
Dong Chengling replied, "Homework is so joyful, how could it possibly be tiring?"
