The students of Shuaixing Hall attended classes in this open space, with a splendid Red Maple Forest behind them and the mist-shrouded, boundless Li River ahead.
Zhao Rong sat at a desk at the back right corner of the clearing. He chose this spot simply because it felt familiar.
Based on his numerous past experiences in classroom seat selection, this spot, right next to the forest, served as a natural barrier. No one would come by, such as Teacher Si, who might impulsively decide to inspect the class.
On the desk in front of him to the left sat a tall male student, and immediately to his left was Fan Yushu, enclosing him between them like a "copper wall and iron barrier," effectively shielding Zhao Rong from Teacher Si's line of sight at the front.
This was very safe, both psychologically and physically.
