The Canteen.
The two were now sitting in the restaurant on the second floor.
Xu Ke poked at his roast duck rice. "This used to be my favorite dish at school."
"Yeah." Qiu Mingli chuckled. "I often saw you and Siao Jia eating in the canteen..."
His words trailed off as his face stiffened. "Xu Ke, I'm sorry..."
Silence fell once more. Clearly, he also knew what had happened between Xu Ke and Siao Jia.
"It's fine, Teacher," Xu Ke said, laughing in spite of himself. He didn't care anymore!
Qiu Mingli sighed. "Xu Ke, I heard about what happened with you and Siao Jia. A while back, a former student came by and told me that Siao Jia had broken up with you, making a huge scene and even accusing you of cheating."
"You were my student. I knew you hadn't done anything wrong. In the end, that was proven true, and now her reputation within our circle of classmates is ruined."
Xu Ke said nothing.
