Just as she was about to climb onto the chair to keep cleaning, a voice suddenly rang out.
"You're not tall enough, let me handle the rest."
Dong Que was startled by the voice and saw Jiang Nian reaching out for the rag, her mind went blank for a moment.
After coming back to her senses, she quickly responded.
"Oh, okay, here."
She was at a loss, forgetting to step aside. She just stood there watching Jiang Nian clean the upper part of the blackboard, completely focused.
In the setting sun, the side of the boy's face was clear.
As his arm moved swiftly, his school uniform moved with it. The dusty board was instantly swallowed by "blackness."
She watched in a daze for a while, her heart thumping. She thought to herself how convenient it was for a boy, to finish the task so quickly.
"Move over a bit."
"Oh, okay."
Dong Que shifted position, hesitant to move too far. Walking away would seem deliberate, but standing too close would be in the way.
