After the ceremony, Shen You'an handed the prize to Gao Yuyue for safekeeping, while she followed Meng Junzhu to the principal's office on the top floor of the administrative building.
In just a few days, Meng Junzhu seemed noticeably more haggard.
"Mr. Meng, are you feeling unwell?"
Inside the elevator, Shen You'an asked softly.
Meng Junzhu snapped out of her daze, but Shen You'an did not miss the fleeting look of distraction on her face.
Meng Junzhu shook her head and smiled lightly, "I stayed up late preparing lessons last night. I'm feeling a bit drained, but a cup of coffee should perk me up."
Seeing she was reluctant to elaborate, Shen You'an refrained from asking further.
Meng Junzhu glanced at Shen You'an and was reminded of the call she received in the middle of the night. A heavy weight anchored her heart.
