That night, Old Gao and a few teachers went to the graduation gathering for Grade 12, Class 4.
Everyone ate and drank like friends; they talked about life and dreams.
Old Gao said, "You're the most difficult batch of students I've ever taught. You're also the best batch of students I've ever taught."
When everyone heard this, a few of them jeered in dissatisfaction.
"Tsk~ Old Gao, your words are contradictory. Besides, when were we difficult to guide?"
"That's right. We're so obedient. You were probably secretly glad to have us as your students."
"Also, there's a dark horse like Chu Luo in our class. When the college entrance examination results are out, Old Gao, you might just be awarded the gold medal teaching award."
"That's right. You can laugh openly then."
Old Gao drank the wine that a student had poured for him and laughed out loud.
The joy was unstoppable.
