Xie Huai was notorious at school for being a poor student. He loved fighting, sleeping, and skipping classes as he didn’t like studying.
When he was caught skipping class by the class monitor while climbing a wall, the class monitor brought him back to the classroom without saying a word.
When he was caught fighting in the alley by the class monitor, the class monitor beat down the group of people and then brought him back home without saying a word.
When he was caught sleeping in the classroom by the class monitor, the class monitor took off his own uniform and draped it over him without saying a word.

Later, every day when Jiang Xu passed by the back wall of the school, there was no familiar figure climbing over the wall.
When he passed through the alley, there was no familiar noise of fights coming from inside.
During class, when he turned his head to take a glance at the sleeping boy, all he saw was an empty seat.
