Chapter 121: Loving Her is the Perfect Pantomime (5)
Steve Burton brought home Ruby Gregory's term papers from her class and began grading them right in front of her.
No elementary school student is indifferent or uncurious about their own end-of-term results.
Ruby was no exception, she stood by the table, sucking on a lollipop, tiptoeing, her eyes fixed on Steve Burton grading her paper.
That day in Steve Burton's study, the scene unfolded like this:
While working on the fourth grade examination questions, Steve Burton didn't hesitate to criticize Ruby Gregory whenever he found mistakes: "Ruby Gregory, were you half asleep during the exam? Even the word 'encounter' is wrong in your composition."
Back then, elementary school exam papers were mostly completed with a pencil.
As he spoke, he took out an eraser and erased Ruby Gregory's misspelled word 'encounter', replaced it with the correct one, and marked it with a check in red pen.
