Chapter 235: The Fleeting, Yet Unpleasant Sensation
<.Blossom Phoenix Middle School.>
"...Lari, are you a zombie now? Hey! Don’t sleep here!"
Lariette laughed dryly upon hearing Nora’s exclamation. Struggling to keep her eyes open, she lifted her gaze from her lunch to the female teacher sitting across from her. Another yawn escaped her lips.
The clock had struck a quarter before two, but Lariette and Nora had just had time to have lunch. Both of them were extremely busy today, attending to their respective classes.
The school cafeteria was generally quiet, especially the room where the teachers and other staff often dined. Most of the teachers, including all the students, were back in the classrooms.
"Why? Are my dark circles too obvious?"
Putting her fork down, Lariette touched the area under her right eye. She knew she looked weirdly today. The exhaustion from her lack of sleep tormented her throughout the hours she spent teaching in the classes.
Haha... She almost dozed off a few times before her students. Some of them asked if she felt under the weather due to the changing season.
Nora exhaled softly, unsure whether to laugh or not. Propping one elbow up on the table, she stared at Lariette with her lips tugged into a grin.
"Why?" Nora deliberately lowered her voice despite not having people around them. Her eyes gleamed with mischief as she asked further, "A hotter night with your husband, huh? He kept you awake all night?"
