The little Princess, who loves studying, suddenly lost interest. Could it be due to the frequent absences of the teacher lately, or perhaps the weather?
Today, it began to drizzle, so the lesson moved indoors. Princess Ya Yi stared at the raindrops outside the library, falling like broken strings of pearls, becoming a bit lost in thought.
"Princess, are you unhappy?"
The teacher, of course, noticed her change in demeanor, so paused the lesson, putting down the simplified "Dream of the Red Chamber."
"Teacher Koda, do you also play the stock market?"
Unexpectedly, Princess Ya Yi asked back.
"Why does the Princess ask that?"
Teacher Koda was puzzled and curious.
"Teacher Koda never used to take leave before."
Well then.
Indeed, it was my issue.
According to the normal schedule, the simplified version of Dream of the Red Chamber should be wrapping up by now.
"I don't play the stock market, Princess. I don't know a thing about it."
