Qingteng's Mind - Middle School Era

Chapter 1388 Missing
"It's been ten minutes since get out of class ended, and the lights are going to go out soon. Why hasn't he come yet?"

Wang Xinyi stared at the front door of the classroom, then turned her head to look at the back door, and immediately saw the wide-open back door.

The classroom, which used to be quite spacious, is now almost empty. After all, the midterm exams just ended today, and it's only right to relax a little.

Tang Ji nudged Ling Chuyang: "Let's go, the lights will be out in a few minutes."

Ling Chuyang hummed in agreement but didn't move.

"Yang-ge, the midterm exams are over, let's relax. Teacher Su told us to relax, what are you still studying for?" Tang Ji slammed Ling Chuyang's book shut. "Let's go back to the dorm, finally we can get some sleep."

He took two steps, turned around, and saw Ling Chuyang still glued to his seat. He turned back, pulled him up, and pushed him out.

He took two steps, then turned back and said, "Old Xu is gone. Stop pretending to be enthusiastic."

Zhou Yu chuckled and stood up: "Let's go, Lao Xu?"

Xu Renming moved his stool forward a bit: "You guys go first, I'll wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?" Tang Ji turned back and slammed the textbook in front of Xu Renming shut. "There's no one left in this classroom. Who are you waiting for? Let's go."

“Why is no one here?” Xu Renming glared at Tang Ji and pointed ahead. “The class monitor and the others are still here.”

Tang Ji exclaimed "Oh my!" and looked at Xu Renming with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, wow, wow, this is incredible! Are you planning to follow the example of the class monitor?"

Xu Renming's face flushed instantly, and he retorted, "When you see someone virtuous, you should think of emulating them. Don't you understand? The class monitor has such good grades, what's wrong with learning from him?"

"He's starting to pedantically read books now," Tang Ji laughed loudly, attracting the attention of several girls in front of him. They quickly waved their hands, "Sorry, we disturbed you, we'll leave right away."

"Let's go, Lao Xu, don't disturb the class monitor and the others' studies." As he spoke, he winked at Zhou Yuchen, and the two of them helped Xu Renming up from his seat and headed towards the back door.

Unable to struggle, Xu Renming could only turn back every few steps as he was being carried out.

Did his brother come or not? He heard Wang Xinyi say that his brother was back, and he was also waiting for his brother to arrive. He wanted to tell his brother that he did well in the physics competition and did not embarrass him!

However, Xu Renming glared at Tang Ji with hatred. What did this man mean?
"Let me go!" As he was being dragged to the door, Xu Renming finally couldn't bear it any longer and said angrily, "Tang Ji, what are you doing? Let me go!"

"Of course it's for your own good," Tang Ji said, looking at Xu Renming. "You need to balance work and rest, understand? You've been too tense and tired these past two months. Now that the competition and midterms are over, relax and take a break."

“That’s right,” Zhou Yuchen chimed in. “You’re the best of the four of us. Whether we can get into the top fifteen depends entirely on you. You can’t overwork yourself. It’s April now, the season is changing, and it’s easy to get sick. Two students from the next class have already caught a cold.”

Is that so? Xu Renming looked around, then suddenly saw Ling Chuyang standing by the door looking at him: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you!" Ling Chuyang replied, turned around, and walked towards the stairwell.

Look at him? What are you looking at him for? Xu Renming was completely confused.

"Look, even Xiao Yangyang is starting to care about you, isn't he? Come on, let's go back to the dorm." Tang Ji pulled and pushed Xu Renming toward the stairwell.

Xu Renming took a few steps, turned around, and saw Zhou Yuchen following behind with a smile. Oh well, it's getting late. If my brother really came, he probably won't leave tomorrow.

Thinking about tomorrow, Xu Renming couldn't help but feel happy. Teacher Su said she would take him, or rather, take them to Jingyun Normal University tomorrow afternoon.

That's Teacher Su's alma mater!

I never expected that when he casually mentioned it in the chemistry lab, and his classmates agreed, Professor Su would actually remember it and take them there.

Thinking about this, Xu Renming felt refreshed and increasingly felt that being assigned to a different class was a tremendous blessing for him! The few people still in the classroom, however, weren't so happy. Wang Xinyi turned to Ling Mengchu: "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Ling Mengchu closed her book and snorted, "What good would it do me to lie to you? I only said I ran into him, I didn't say he would come to our classroom. You're overthinking it."

Ling Mengchu swallowed back the words "unrequited love" that she almost blurted out. That afternoon, she promised Xiao Lingzi that she would restrain herself, keep a low profile, and avoid causing trouble.

So much so that when she wanted to leave after school just now, Wang Xinyi grabbed her arm and said they should wait together to see the handsome guys. She held back her anxiety until now, but she can't hold back anymore, she's leaving.

"What are you doing?" Wang Xinyi looked at Ling Mengchu. "Are you leaving?"

"Otherwise what?" Ling Mengchu glanced at Wang Xinyi, stood up, and said, "You can wait by yourself. There are eight minutes left before lights out. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Xinyi's response, he turned and walked towards the back door.

Wang Xinyi watched Ling Mengchu leave, then glanced at the clock on the back wall: "Wait five more minutes. If he's not here by then, we'll leave too."

Wang Xiaoxiao nodded, resting her chin on her hand as she looked thoughtfully at the front door of the classroom. Actually, she really wanted to suggest going upstairs to take a look, but when she thought about how she had just been invited into Principal Cao's office that afternoon, she immediately gave up the idea.

It's outrageous! She only stood on the fourth floor for a while before being invited to the principal's office. Back then, Zheng Yifan caused such a ruckus in the class, but he wasn't invited to the principal's office!
You should just stay in the classroom and wait!
Huh? Why did Xiaoyu push her? Wang Xiaoxiao turned around.

"I'm going back to my dorm." Geng Xinyu closed the book in front of her. "Excuse me."

"Borrow, borrow?" Wang Xiaoxiao was taken aback. The female lead was about to leave, so was there any point in her waiting here?

Wang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then stood in the aisle and watched Geng Xinyu get up and leave.

"Let's go, they probably won't come back." He Shiling glanced at her watch, stood up, and said, "Let's go back."

The lights were going to go out in six minutes. If he was going to come, he would have come long ago. Besides, he went straight to the fourth floor. How could more than two years of friendship just disappear when he leaves?

Besides, Zheng Yifan is such a talkative and boisterous person!

"Are you really leaving?" Wang Xinyi looked at He Shiling with reluctance. "The lights won't be out for a while yet."

“Xiaoyu has already left,” He Shiling said, looking at the figure leaving through the back door. “Are you still waiting?”

Huh? Wang Xinyi turned around, looked at the high ponytail disappearing through the back door, and sighed: "Okay, let's go then. Wait for me, I'll pack my books."

Watching Wang Xinyi slowly tidying up her desk and procrastinating, Guo Wenwen couldn't help but laugh: "Actually, it's okay not to tidy up, after all, tomorrow's morning self-study is Chinese."

Wang Xinyi rolled her eyes at Guo Wenwen: "It'll be ready soon, don't rush me."

“I’m not in a hurry,” Guo Wenwen said, looking at the other two men. “Everyone is waiting for you.”

"It'll be ready soon," Wang Xinyi slowly closed the book. "It'll be ready soon."

He Shiling smiled but didn't say anything. She looked towards the back door, but Xiaoyu was no longer there.

"Why did it take you so long to come out? We've been waiting for you for ages."

The sudden voice startled Geng Xinyu, who had just reached the top of the stairs. Was someone talking to her?
Following the sound, Geng Xinyu looked over and, upon seeing the person's face, rolled her eyes and quickly walked downstairs.

It was too dark for her to see, and the sound was too soft for her to hear.
