Ning Li called her class teacher, Geng Haifan, to take the day off.
Geng Haifan was the language teacher of the senior year's first class. He was also the language team leader for all of the seniors. He went to the inner state for a symposium a few days ago and only came back yesterday.
He understood Ning Li's situation better than others because he had a 13-year-old daughter. So, he sympathized with Ning Li and tried to take care of her.
"Oh, right. Ye Ci said she was going to the Huatsing Cup finals at the city art center today. Are you taking the day off to attend the event?" Geng Haifan asked.
Ning Li paused. "Yes."
"Okay then."
Only then did Geng Haifan sigh a breath of relief.
Considering how much Ning Li had been through recently, it was a good idea for her to take a break. Besides, it might be an opportunity for her to repair her relationship with her mother and Ye Ci.
