The girl remained quiet when he spoke, not showing any defiance yet not exhibiting remorse either.
Lin Shu was somewhat baffled. She couldn't decipher what was going on in the student's mind, silent as she was, not knowing if her words even reached the girl's ears.
"What exactly happened? Is there a problem you couldn't handle and sought to resolve in this way?" Lin Shu asked gently.
The female student finally moved her eyes, looking towards Lin Shu.
Just when Lin Shu thought the girl wouldn't talk to her, the girl finally spoke.
"Teacher Lin, I indeed have troubles I can't solve," said the girl, her eyes filled with sadness.
Lin Shu led her to sit down and softly asked, "Can you talk to me about it?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Please feel comfortable to share your concerns," Lin Shu added.
Upon hearing Lin Shu's words, the girl seemed to let go of her reservations and shared her family situation.
