The second half of the English class finally ended amid an awkward atmosphere.
However, Cui Yu, the instigator of the awkwardness, seemed quite pleased with himself.
In his view, if the first half of the class was Chen Qian's home turf, then the second half was Cui Yu's domain.
He knew as soon as he made his move whether it had effect or not.
And he went directly for impact, stunning the whole class!
During the long break between classes, Chen Siyu turned to chat:
"We get to rest as soon as class is over today!"
She was smiling very happily.
Now everyone was in the second term of their first high school year, where every Friday afternoon they had two classes and then were off for the weekend.
They wouldn't return to school until self-study on Sunday evening.
The reason they got to leave after one less class was that Fourth Middle School took into consideration that students living far from home could head back earlier.
