Ever since Zhao Meimei started attending tutoring classes, everyone's life around her changed dramatically.
Shi Yang, after promising to take Zhao Meimei home, waited every day without fail, rain or shine, at the entrance of the tutoring class. Zhao Meimei always rushed out just on time. Over time, everyone in the class, from teachers to classmates, knew that Zhao Meimei had to leave at that time due to family matters.
Zhang Zhao teased Zhao Meimei more than once, saying, "Are you Cinderella? If you're late, your true form will be revealed."
Zhao Meimei would always slightly raise her thin eyelids, giving a glance full of sweet happiness that was beyond words.
To accommodate Zhao Meimei's schedule, Shi Yang's mother advanced dinner to four-thirty in the afternoon, and then at nine in the evening, accompanied Zhao Meimei for a delicate late-night snack, mostly light porridge made from mixed grains and stir-fried vegetables.
