Rong Lin felt inexplicably anxious under his mother's intense gaze. His palms and backs of his hands were sweaty from nerves, but he just couldn't tear his eyes away from her, even hoping that his mother would look at him a few more times.
Unfortunately, Lan Jin did not grant his wish. Just like before, she withdrew her gaze within a few seconds and turned to the chubby girl beside her. Her voice was cool and pleasant, "Who do you want to pick?"
Feeling restrained in this unfamiliar place, Gu Wanwan tugged timidly at her sleeve and whispered, "I don't want to pick anyone, can I sit with you, please?"
"Sure."
With a tender touch to her head, Lan Jin's gesture completely ignited Rong Lin's jealousy towards Gu Wanwan, and at the same time he felt incredibly wronged.
His own mother hadn't even touched his head before, yet she had touched that chubby girl's head. How infuriating.
"Teacher Lee, we won't pick anyone. Just let me sit with Wanwan," Lan Jin said.
