Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the second mock college entrance exam.
After school that day, the sky suddenly opened up in a torrential downpour.
Xu Shengxia saw how hard the rain was coming down and didn't leave school right away. Instead, she sat at her desk, pretending to study, hoping to wait for the storm to weaken before heading out to catch a cab home.
She ended up sitting there until eight o'clock at night.
The downpour lasted for a long time, showing no signs of letting up even after all her classmates had left.
Finally, Xu Shengxia had no choice but to get up. Holding her schoolbag over her head, she braved the heavy rain to go find a taxi.
By the time she left the school gates and stood under the bus stop sign, she was already soaked from head to toe.
