"I hope my daughter won't be kept here today."
"You haven't eaten dinner yet, why aren't you coming out?"
Qin Bai tried his best to walk on the dark path so as not to be discovered.
I don't want to talk, and I have no obligation to answer those people's questions.
His father ran away, and his mother was sick, leaving him no time to even complain.
Every day I'm either thinking about how to find a part-time job, or on my way to one.
As for studying, that's something you can do when you have nothing else to do, like after a meal.
It wasn't that no one had advised him that he should focus on his studies now; Qin Bai just smiled and didn't say anything.
