Chu Cihan was a little depressed.

She didn't have many people in her class to begin with.

Most girls felt she was too cold and unapproachable, and kept their distance from her.

The boys didn't dare get close to her, afraid of being misunderstood.

After counting them, there are only a few people I can chat with.

Shen Ye is one, and Mu Jingyan is another.

Although he and Mu Jingyan were basically exchanging subtle sarcastic remarks.

When the two of them sat together, it was either her arguing with Mu Jingyan or Mu Jingyan arguing with her.

Phrases like "big boobs, no brains" and "perpetually second-place" are commonplace.

But somehow, as they argued, they developed a tacit understanding.

At least she was relaxed amidst this mutual mockery.

There's no need to put on that cold, aloof air.

But today, neither Shen Ye nor Mu Jingyan came.

She lay on the table, her face turned to the side, looking at a spot across the aisle.

The two tables were empty.

That empty feeling made her feel a little uncomfortable.

During morning self-study sessions, you can hear the sound of pages turning from the seat on the left.

Mu Jingyan reads very quickly, turning pages much more frequently than the average person.

The spot on the right, however, is where someone is making trouble.

He was either secretly eating, passing notes, or poking her arm with a pen.

It's a bit noisy, but at least it's not boring.

Today, things are much better; both sides are quiet.

Chu Cihan couldn't muster any energy during the entire morning self-study session.

She could understand why Mu Jingyan didn't come.

She had a fever last night, and I heard that Shen Ye took her to the hospital.

What about Shen Ye?

Why didn't he come when he was perfectly fine?

It couldn't be that they were infected.

That's impossible; she knows Shen Ye's constitution well.

That guy is as strong as an ox; he can't even catch a cold.

What exactly is the reason?

Chu Ci Han couldn't understand it.

The mock exam is tomorrow, and almost all of today's classes were spent reviewing.

As the test papers were handed out one by one, the students were breathless from writing so much.

There was almost no rest time.

The teachers seemed to have planned it all out, handing out curls class after class.

I had only finished half of the math test when the English test came in.

I haven't finished my English homework yet, and now it's time for physics.

Chu Cihan held his pen, staring at the math problem in front of him, but his mind was full of random thoughts.

She knew how to do this problem.

But my mind is a mess right now, and I can't seem to make sense of anything.

Frustrated, she put down her pen and slumped back onto the table.

I finally made it to lunchtime and had some free time.

Chu Cihan went straight to Class 2 next door to find Mu Jinghuan.

Mu Jinghuan is Mu Jingyan's younger sister, so she must know something.

The classroom door of Class Two was open, and students were walking out in twos and threes.

Chu Cihan stood at the door, tiptoeing to peek inside.

After scanning the crowd, I finally spotted that familiar figure.

Mu Jinghuan was carrying her schoolbag and was planning to go out through the back door.

Chu Cihan quickly walked around her and stopped her just before the little robot walked out of the classroom.

"Silly boy," she called out.

Mu Jinghuan stopped and looked up at her.

Those big eyes blinked, as if trying to recognize the person who had come.

"Chu Cihan...Sister?"

Her soft voice was somewhat hesitant.

"Mm." Chu Cihan nodded and got straight to the point.

"How is your sister?"

"My sister is doing well."

Mu Jinghuan answered very decisively.

"The fever has subsided, and I'm resting at home today."

"Oh, that's good."

Chu Cihan nodded, but that wasn't her purpose.

After briefly inquiring about Mu Jingyan's condition, she changed the subject.

"Do you know where Shen Ye is?"

She stared at Mu Jinghuan's expression, trying to glean something from it.

The little robot tilted its head and thought for a moment.

"Brother Shen Ye is at home."

Her tone was natural, without any attempt to conceal anything.

My brother is indeed at home.

But to Chu Cihan, this statement was as good as nothing at all.

"Of course I know Shen Ye is home!"

She almost rolled her eyes.

"I asked him why he didn't come to school!"

Mu Jinghuan blinked, looking completely bewildered.

"have no idea......"

She genuinely didn't know why her brother was sleeping in and not coming to school today, but she was sure he had his reasons.

Chu Cihan stared at her for a few seconds.

The little idiot's expression doesn't seem like he's faking it.

But that doesn't mean she said everything.

Chu Cihan wanted to ask more questions, but Mu Jinghuan had already been called away by her classmate.

It seems they don't intend to reveal anything more.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of this simpleton, Chu Cihan didn't linger any longer.

She turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

Chu Cihan weaved through the crowd for a long time, searching extensively, before finally finding Lin Chunuan, who was having a meal.

She sat in a corner with a plate of food and a bowl of rice in front of her, but ate very slowly.

The chopsticks held a piece of meat, which remained suspended in mid-air for a long time without being put into the mouth.

He looked rather sullen.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were somewhat vacant.

Chu Cihan walked over and sat down opposite her.

"Lin Chunuan".

Lin Chunuan looked up and saw who it was, but her expression didn't change.

"Um."

She responded and then finally put the piece of meat into her mouth.

I chewed it twice and swallowed it slowly.

"Do you know why Shen Ye didn't come today?"

Chu Cihan asked directly.

Lin Chunuan paused for a moment.

"have no idea."

She lowered her head and continued eating.

He didn't tell me.

Looking at her expression, Chu Cihan felt that something was off.

Lin Chunuan's appearance makes it seem like she knows something but doesn't want to say it.

"You really don't know?"

Chu Cihan added a comment.

"Um."

Lin Chunuan didn't even look up.

"I really don't know."

Her tone was somewhat perfunctory, clearly just going through the motions.

If this girl finds out that her brother, Mu Jingyan, is currently at home, she'll definitely find an excuse to go over...

Lin Chunuan had a headache for a moment.

Having two sisters is troublesome enough; we absolutely cannot let Chu Cihan go too!

Lin Chunuan was unwilling to talk about it, and she had no reason to press her for an answer.

He could only leave the cafeteria with a belly full of resentment.

The repeated setbacks made Chu Cihan quite irritable.

One or two of them, they all kept their mouths shut.

I couldn't get anything useful from anyone.

Chu Cihan decided to give up and call Shen Ye directly after returning home to get to the bottom of things.

--------

After evening self-study, the girl packed her schoolbag and walked towards the school gate.

Her car was parked in the usual spot.

The driver was already waiting there. When he saw her come out, he got out of the car and opened the back door for her.

Just as Chu Cihan was about to bend down and crawl inside, his peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of something not far away.

Two figures came into view.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

It was Lin Chunuan and Mu Jinghuan.


Lin Chunu walked ahead, carrying her pink backpack.

Mu Jinghuan followed behind, carrying a bag in her hand.

The two walked at a moderate pace, but their direction was clear.

Chu Cihan's gaze fell on the direction they had gone, and his brows furrowed slightly.

That direction...

It leads to Shen Ye's house.

Mu Jinghuan's house is not in this direction.

She and Lin Chunu walked together, heading in that direction...

Chu Cihan's breath caught in his throat for a moment.

A certain guess quickly took shape in her mind.

She straightened up and waved to the driver.

"Wait a moment."

Her gaze followed the figure intently until they disappeared around the street corner.
