Shi Jin only had a brief chat with Pence. Since he had work to do, she did not linger and quickly bade farewell.
However, Pence wanted to talk more, so he said, "Let's have a little chat tomorrow."
"Sure," agreed Shi Jin.
"Shi Jin, please be sure to make time for me!" said Pence earnestly.
After Shi Jin promised to see him tomorrow, he finally smiled before he reluctantly turned and walked over to Kang Cheng.
Kang Cheng smiled as he said, "Prof Pence, she is one of our contestants as well. However, she is not under Diamond Music. Also, she hasn't even graduated from high school, so…"
Pence replied, "Well, that's too bad!"
"Uh huh. It's too bad," Kang Cheng chimed in. He thought Pence was talking about how Little Stone had yet to graduate from high school and would not be able to join the academy.

The next day, Pence and Shi Jin met up as promised.
