Bai Yang was sprawled out on his desk, feeling drowsy.
It was odd that he slept better in the classroom than at home. At home, he had a bed and blankets; here, he just had tables and chairs, along with the noisy chatter of classmates. Yet, at this moment, the security he felt came precisely from the crowd around him. Only when he was under the bright sun, amidst the bustling traffic of the downtown area, among his peers, could he sense that the world was still functioning normally. Compared to the tense and oppressive atmosphere at home, as if it were on the verge of some doomsday collapse, the pressure of the college entrance exams seemed trivial.
If someone told Bai Yang right now that his problems had been solved, that all he needed to do was concentrate on the college entrance exams, that would have been an immense relief.
