The Person Who Failed to Arrive Seven Years Ago

The next morning, Mihe's mother appeared in the low-light conference room at Seventh Public School.

More precisely, she appeared on a remote light screen suspended in the middle of the room.

She now lived on another planet. The two places differed by nearly two standard hours; it was just past nine in the morning at the school, while dawn had yet to break where she was. Before connecting the call, Lin Qi had deliberately lowered the room's illumination and disabled the light screen's default portrait-brightening function.
