Starting in their senior year, students had to attend evening self-study sessions that lasted until 9:00 PM. At 8:30 PM, the school cafeteria would provide late-night snacks like fried rice, noodles, and steamed buns.
Sun Guotao arrived during the evening self-study session.
He wore his usual faint smile as he taped a piece of paper to the blackboard. "This is the new seating chart," he announced to the class. "Take a look. If there are no issues, you can switch to your new seats."
The students in the front row were already craning their necks to get a look.
Sun Guotao stood to one side, holding his large tea mug. "Come on up and take a look," he told them. "Then, pack your things. We'll be changing seats during this study session."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few students went up in twos and threes. When the others saw that the first few were fine, they all crowded around the front as well.
