14:28.
Apex Academy main teaching building, Classroom 211.
Li Qingming was the first to enter, strolling leisurely toward the corner near the door as if it were like any other morning arriving at Senior Year, Class Four, setting down his backpack and sitting down with his hands in his pockets.
At this moment, looking toward the familiar front door of the classroom, he suddenly harbored some unrealistic expectations, yet couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.
Missing you again, Sea Urchin Head.
How great it would be if you were my counselor.
Amidst such reveries.
Slap!
"Huff—hah—huff—hah—"
The sound of a desk being slapped and heavy, near-death gasps came from the entrance.
Following the noise, Ji Xiaoxiang was propped up on the desk by the door, limbs dangling, gasping desperately, teetering between life and death.
Yin Li walked into the classroom with a snicker and gently patted her rotund back.
