"Some students at the junior department will stay after school every Friday to make up missed lessons. But I found these students are very reluctant, even scared of making up classes. Some will be terrified hearing others unintentionally speak the words 'making up lessons.'"
Cheng Yan led Ming Shu to the junior department. "The head of the junior department is Pan Zhiguo, who is having an affair with Shi Yaxin. I followed him several times. Before, when you saw me in the school, I was trailing him. And the two voices you heard that second time, it was Pan Zhiguo and Shi Yaxin."
Cheng Yan finished talking, but then found Ming Shu was eating with rapt attention, not listening to him at all.
"Stop eating, we're about to arrive at the junior department," Cheng Yan reminded her.
Ming Shu looked up and put away the snack. "What kind of dirty business did you find them doing?"
"... Nothing yet." Sometimes Pan Zhiguo and Shi Yaxin went to the old teaching building, but he found they were just having secret trysts.
Under the amused gaze of Ming Shu, Cheng Yan felt somehow a little awkward. He had been investigating this matter for some time, but failed to make any significant progress.
It was Friday and the school had been closed for the weekend holiday. All the doors in the junior department were locked. Ming Shu and Cheng Yan climbed over the wall to get in.
It seemed the security guards here were more numerous than in the senior department. Before walking further, they met two security guards patrolling around the school.
School was out now, but the security guards were still patrolling, which was too unscientific.
"It's over there." Cheng Yan pointed at a teaching building. The students were all making up lessons in that building.
"Isn't that the library?" They made up lessons in the library instead of using classrooms, were they out of their minds?
"It is. Classes are made up in the library every week. There's only one entrance, which is guarded, so I haven't entered," Cheng Yan explained in a whisper.
The students were still in there when it grew dark. Ming Shu crouched in the flowers while eating the WantWant Crunchy Rice Balls. She was a little impatient as a result of hunger.
Her snacks were eaten up.
Forget about this, I'm going to look for some food.
Ming Shu stood up and was about to leave. Cheng Yan pulled her back by the wrist. "Shh!"
Some students started to come out of the library. Most of them walked toward the dormitory building in silence. The atmosphere was particularly depressed.
Following the students, Shi Yaxin left the library with a stack of textbooks in her arms. Some slow students were frightened to see her, like mice running into a cat. They hurried to catch up with the students further ahead.
"Follow her." Ming Shu stared at Cheng Yan's hand which was pulling on her clothes and said, "Let go of me."
Cheng Yan calmly released her clothes. "I've followed her but didn't find anything."
"That's because you're stupid."
"..."
...
Cheng Yan felt it was a mistake to agree to work together with Ming Shu. He thought she wanted to follow Shi Yaxin to find some clues, but it turned out—
