Bai Wu lounged around the corridor as he observed his classmates playing basketball. He used to be a part of them but he was no longer welcomed.

“Mister Xu, here’s what I think. Bai Wu seemed perfectly functional and there’s no reason for him to stay here. His remarkable learning abilities are causing pressure on the students here. It’s putting everyone on edge over the past few days.”

Xu Lan sat across the teacher formally causing the teacher to feel pressured.

“Teacher, do you think we can put this off for a day or two? I’ll talk to him. Moreover, he’s much older and I’m worried that he’ll be embarrassed if he had to study with young children,” Xu Lan said as he rubbed his hands.

“However, his presence here makes the rest of the students feel inferior.” The teacher looked at Xu Lan uncomfortably – the school would be in trouble if this went on.

“Uh… Are you telling me to bring him home now?”

“Mister Xu, you can consider sending him to an adult educational institution, where Bai Wu wouldn’t feel inferior,” said the teacher after some serious thoughts.

“Teacher! You’re right! I can’t believe that I have never thought of it! Thank you, teacher.” Xu Lan gave his thigh a slap and stood up to express his gratitude to the teacher.

“Uh, don’t worry about it. It’s fine.” The teacher was in shock and her glasses was slipping off her face. She reached for her glasses and readjusted them.

“So, I’ll bring him home now? Seeing how it’s only been a few days, do you think it’s possible for the tuition fees to be refunded?” Xu Lan asked.

The teacher was in shock while Xu Lan was slightly embarrassed. The office was eerily silent.

“I think it would be best for you to deal with the headmaster directly,” the teacher broke the silence and replied.

“Alright, thank you. I’ll bring him home now.” Xu Lan smiled sincerely – the problem that troubled him for so long had finally been solved.

The man walked out of the teacher’s office and felt relieved. His heart ached at the sight of Bai Wu observing the basketball match from the sidelines, not being able to join. Xu Lan gave Bai Wu a quick rub on his head. Initially, he thought Bai Wu could make some friends here, apparently not. A few days ago, Bai Wu came home from school and blabbered about the events at school and his homework excitedly.

“Papa…”

“Let’s go, Papa will bring you for some good food,” Xu Lan said and held Bai Wu’s hand as they walked down.

“Papa, did I do something wrong?” Bai Wu cried as he walked. He could not understand why his friends disliked him all of a sudden.

“There’s nothing wrong. Don’t beat yourself up. Would you like some donuts or ice-cream?” Xu Lan passed a lollipop to Bai Wu and dried his tears with a handkerchief.

“Why wouldn’t they play with me then?” Bai Wu pouted and started licking his lollipop.

“Hmm, you’re too strong. They’re worried that they’ll be injured if they were to play with you. This is why you should treat everyone in a gentle manner, got it? Also, Papa needs to relocate with you to somewhere else for work purposes.”

“They could’ve just told me! I will change my ways. I can even let them win in games.”

‘I really need to send this gullible child to school. Otherwise, I won’t even be surprised if he got taken advantage of in the future. He needs to learn that there’s good and bad in the world. Besides a familial relationship, there are friendships and romantic relationship as well,’ Xu Lan thought.

Xu Lan juggled between sorting out his reinstatement and looking for an educational institution for Bai Wu. Most institutions that offered adult learning did not usually start from the basics. Adult learners were there to strengthen their knowledge and to pick up professional skills. Due to that reason, Xu Lan had to research extensively to find something suitable for Bai Wu.

In the end, he decided to hire a teacher to teach Bai Wu the basics. After sorting out the series of matters, Xu Lan rested on the couch in exhaustion. He opened up his wallet and found nothing inside.

It would seem that he needed to make a trip to the police station as soon as possible.
