In the silence, a chilly wind blew over, and Huai Shi looked at the principal next to him with confusion.
The principal also gave an awkward smile. "I'll send it back to you later. Aren't you afraid of getting a cold butt if you sit down on the ground?"
"Alright then."
Huai Shi hesitated for a long time before putting down his teacup and following the principal to rise.

The relief of Medusa on the copper door glanced at them before quickly looking away.
In the grand foyer of the library behind the door, a beam of dim yellow light shone down, illuminating the authoritative old man behind the front desk.
He looked at the newcomers outside the door with an indifferent gaze, his expression commanding respect without anger.
It was as if he sat at the very center of the library, guarded by layers of stern arrays, appearing so mysterious and peculiar in the light's reflection.
