721 The Stone Man

While Di Tou was worrying his mind out, naturally the world didn't pause. Across the seas in the various continents, back in the Academy… A thousand and one events were ongoing, some prevalent to Di Tou, others not.

"Hey, hey, do you think that's the guy that Miss Ming buys the candies from?" A boy in a rattan shirt with more than five holes whispered.

To the side, a girl with dry coarse hair and a patchwork dress made of red and yellow pieces of fabric knocked the boy over the head and said, "No, silly boy, you're going to get kidnapped if you keep thinking like that. How can a candy maker be so boring and sit there all day."
