And yes, Du Jing was right. The male teacher was mortified on hearing what she had said.
His mind spun round and round. What had he just heard? Yes, he had heard the little girl loud and clear and as he stared into her eyes now, frozen in time as time had stopped around him, he saw that she didn't have innocent eyes at all.
They say that the eyes are windows to the soul and now, he saw that that saying was true.
She was not innocent at all. This little girl was not what she portrayed herself to be. The male teacher felt self-conscious immediately and he peeled his gaze from Du in a nervous manner and looked around the classroom. He checked if Miss Cai that he had been chatting with at the entrance of the class was near him within earshot of what was going on between him and Du.
He found her staring at him with a quizzical look on her face.
