"Xieling!... Xieling!"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Xieling."
Qie Xieling who had been staring out of the window watching some birds arguing absentminded was drawn back to reality when the professor knocked on the table.
"Huh," he responded in a daze and the entire class burst out laughing.
"If you do not want to be here, you can leave and continue bird-watching outside," she said and Qie Xieling pursed his lips feeling a little embarrassed before saying,
"I want to be here. I am sorry."
She fixed her gaze on him as though scrutinising him. He seemed genuine in his apology so she straightened her back and said, "See me after class."
Oho, sounds echoed in the air accompanied by giggles. Qie Xieling ignored them as he tried to focus on the lecture again.
While he was writing notes on his tablet with a stylus pen a small hand with cool nail art handed over a sticky note to him.
