Shen Liangzhou held a small notebook with an expressionless face and wrote: "Two points will be deducted for being late for Encore and leaving early."

"An Kele goes to meet other boys and wait to die." An Kele:??? Why don't you let her play with friends after class? Whose chairman is in charge of so much?
