Linjiang First High School.
School was already out by this time.
But unlike usual, Ding Jiayi wasn't rushing to the cafeteria to grab food, nor was she hurrying to the hallway by the school gate to wait for her parents.
Instead, she was nestled at her desk doing homework.
It looked like she was doing her homework, but in reality, her mind was...
Already far away!
She kept glancing down at the old phone in her desk drawer, wanting to see if her mom had sent any new messages.
Although the school didn't allow cell phones, old phones were permitted.
This made it easier for kids to keep in touch with their parents.
She kept checking her messages because her mom had told her she was on the way to school. When she arrived at the school gate, she would send a message, and then Jiayi would head downstairs.
"Jiayi, my mom's already at the school gate, do you want to go with me?" Lin Yuru asked with a beaming smile, her eyes sparkling.
