Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Li Shen, who had been lurking not far away from her. She raised her hand and waved. “Come over. I have something to ask you.”
Li Shen was frightened by Mo Zhu’s sudden mention of his name. He looked around a few times and after confirming that there were no other students beside him, he pointed at himself with a trembling finger and replied, “Sister, Sister Mo, are you calling me?”
Mo Zhu nodded when she heard this and said lightly, “Yes, you’ve been standing there for so long. You should have something to say to me, right?”!!
Li Shen’s fingers unconsciously rubbed his sleeves. He took two steps towards Mo Zhu nervously.
Indeed, Mo Zhu had hit the nail on the head. Something major had happened in Class Eight while Mo Zhu was gone. When Mo Zhu arrived today, he wanted to talk to the girl, but because he had never spoken to Mo Zhu alone before, he hesitated for a long time and did not take the initiative to speak.
Seeing how timid the boy was, Mo Zhu looked around Class Eight’s classroom. When almost everyone had left to eat, she looked up and stared at Li Shen. She asked, “Did you apply for leave in the period I wasn’t around? Where did Meng Ran and Zhang Qi go?”
When Li Shen heard this, his body trembled violently. He did not dare to look Mo Zhu in the eye and avoided her gaze. “I, I didn’t take leave, but I really don’t know where they went…”
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows noncommittally. “Are you sure you don’t know?”
“Sister Mo, I, I really don’t know…” Li Shen was frightened by Mo Zhu’s tone and stammered as he replied.
Mo Zhu pinched the space between her eyebrows and tidied up the messy books on the table simply. She placed her phone in her pocket and stood up. As she walked out of the classroom, she said to Li Shen, “Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you. If you don’t know, then that’s fine.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu’s figure disappeared around the corner of the staircase next to Class Eight.
After Mo Zhu left, Li Shen relaxed and took a few deep breaths. He walked out of the classroom thoughtfully and wanted to go to the canteen with the students after school. Just as he walked out of the classroom, he saw Liu Yuan waiting for him at the door.
Ever since Zhang Qi’s accident, Liu Yuan joined their clique of friends.
Liu Yuan was originally waiting for Li Shen at the entrance of the classroom for lunch. When he saw Mo Zhu walk out of the classroom with him, he asked bluntly, “Did you tell Sister Mo about Meng Ran and Zhang Qi?”
Li Shen sighed when he heard this. He replied helplessly, “No.”
Liu Yuan was a little puzzled. He frowned and continued asking, “Why didn’t you tell Sister Mo about them? Didn’t you hear what that girl said when she came to Class Eight last time? Now, only Sister Mo can save us!”
“It’s not that I don’t want to say it. When I saw Sister Mo come back today, I had already been thinking about whether I should say it the entire morning!” Li Shen scratched his head, not knowing what to do.
“But I promised Meng Ran to protect this matter for the two of them previously. The last time I went to the hospital to visit them, Meng Ran had reminded me repeatedly not to tell Sister Mo about this and make her feel sad.”
Liu Yuan felt the same when he heard this. He sighed softly with Li Shen and replied, “Actually, they’re right. Sister Mo has already done too much for Class Eight. We can’t burden her with such a small matter…”
Class Eight was the last class in the entire level. After turning the corner after the back door, it was the staircase. As the two of them spoke, they turned around and walked towards the staircase. Unexpectedly, just as they turned the corner, they sharply saw a figure hiding in the dark. This frightened the two of them so much that they stood rooted to the ground and trembled.
Mo Zhu placed her hands in her coat pocket and walked out of the shadows slowly. She glanced at Li Shen indifferently and asked bluntly, “What happened to Meng Ran and Zhang Qi?”
