"What happened yesterday? You skipped class without asking for leave! Do you know that because you weren't there, the class that was supposed to be awarded the title of 'Excellent Class' was given to another class?"
The homeroom teacher's name was He Man. She was in her forties, with short hair that reached her ears and black-rimmed glasses. When she was angry, she looked almost like a ruthless nun.
Lin Qiao hurriedly stood up to explain:
“I had something to do at home yesterday, and I’ve already told the teacher.”
