Only 22 students made it to the semi-finals, and at half-past five in the morning, they appeared at the school gate, incredibly punctual.
This time, only Old Wu and Sun Ningzhi accompanied them; Teacher Liu, for some reason, did not join.
Old Wu counted the number of students and called out each name one by one, then turned back, satisfied, to tell the driver, "Everyone's here, we can depart now!"
The bus barely paused for five minutes before starting up again.
Half of the seats on the bus were empty, as there were no more than three students from the same class, and not many familiar classmates around, so a lot of people sat alone in a row.
Li Qingran couldn't shake off Xie Ying'an; if she didn't sit down, neither did Xie Ying'an, and as soon as she did, he would still sit beside her.
Forget it, let him be, Li Qingran thought.
It was indirectly choosing to compromise.
