All of a sudden, Pei Qian discovered that her legs were unwilling to obey her. Perhaps she could begin school the next day? It was only a day, surely it wouldn't matter. She snuck a glance behind herself, only to discover, much to her frustration, that Zhu Lian was still standing there. Just how much spare time did this old chef have on his hands? Didn't he have to return to Downtrodden Mountain to cook?0

There was already a young teacher in the school waiting for Pei Qian with a smile on his face.0

Pei Qian slogged her way through lessons' worth of crushing drowsiness, and that was all that she could endure. After the second lesson concluded, she pounced on an opportunity to sneak away, making her way to the side entrance of the school, only to discover Zhu Lian sitting by the side of the street outside, snacking on some sunflower seeds.0
