For the graduating high school students in Shanghai, when the time for the college entrance examination was getting closer and there was only one month left, the various high schools had actually relaxed their requirements. They allowed the students to revise at home and did not force them to come to school.
After all, they had already covered most of the content in class in the past six months.
There were also several notebooks filled with the revision notes that needed to be done.
Who knew how many times they had gone through the college entrance exam every year?
All that was left was for the Year Three students to fill in the gaps. The teachers in charge of the Year Three subjects continued to sit in their classrooms or offices. They could leisurely drink tea and wait for the students to take the initiative to ask them some questions.
This was the norm for the final month of high school.
The situation was the same for the students in Class 7 of Shisan High.
About half of the students chose to use this last month to study at home. At most, they would come to school every few days.
As for the other half of the students, they chose to stay in the classroom.
Lin Feng's circle belonged to the latter group.
For example, Ren Rou, as the class representative for Jian's English class, naturally had to lead by example. She also had to maintain order in the class during the last month.
Tang Bingyao was also the language representative for Class 7. She was also a straight-A student. Most of the time, students would come to her for help instead of asking the teacher. That was why she chose not to go home.
As for Ouyang and Yang Fan, it didn't matter if they were at school or at home. When they heard that Ren Rou was going to stay at school for revision, Ouyang immediately patted his chest and said righteously, "Don't worry, Ren Rou.
I want to stay at school too! "
"When it comes to learning, the atmosphere in school is definitely better!"
"What can you do at home? You're only going back because you're slacking off! "
Yang Fan glanced at Ouyang from the side. "You're staying because of Rou, right?"
Tang Bingyao and An Xin also laughed and jeered.
This kind of joke was a common occurrence in their circle. Ren Rou didn't even bat an eyelid when she heard it. She just glared at Ouyang and scolded him.
"You really should stay at school."
"Otherwise, if I let you go home, you'd probably be playing video games in an internet cafe."
"When the time comes and you fail the college entrance examination and can't even get into a third-tier university, let's see where you can go crying!"
Her words were rather blunt, but there was a hint of concern hidden in her tone. Ouyang nodded his head as he listened.
"Yes, yes, yes. Someone like me needs to keep an eye on me!"
"I have to stay in school now! I will firmly obey your command, Rourou! "
As for Anxin, she smiled when she was asked about her choice for the last month. "Hmm, I'll stay in school as well."
After pausing for a moment, the girl's eyes flickered slightly, and she added softly,
"After all, I don't have much time to revise in school with everyone."
His words resonated with the crowd, and they sighed with emotion.
"Yeah …"
"It's only the last month of our high school life. Time really flies."
"For the rest of the month, it's really the last time we can stay together in the classroom."
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little sad.
Finally, it was Lin Feng's turn.
"Oh, so everyone stayed?"
"Then I'll stay too!"
Thus, everyone unanimously chose to stay in school. Every day, they would come to school on time and continue to read, do questions, and revise together in the classroom.
Their days were no different from before.
Therefore, when the 13th of May arrived, Lin Feng immediately sensed that something was amiss.
… …
On the morning of May 13th, An Xin didn't show up in class.
In the last month, even for the students who chose to stay in school, the school's management system had become extremely relaxed. They would not force the students to arrive at school before a certain time for morning reading or when classes would start. Everything was up to their own free will.
In other words, they could come at any time.
However, Lin Feng and the others usually arrived at school around seven or eight in the morning.
Tang Bingyao and Ren Rou were usually the first to arrive, followed by An Xin, then Ouyang and Yang Fan. The last to arrive was Lin Feng, who habitually lazed in at home and had to be dragged out of bed by Su Xue.
That was why when Lin Feng had already been in class for a while, An Xin was still nowhere to be seen. Lin Feng had always been an early riser for the past few days, but she was nowhere to be seen.
At first, Lin Feng didn't think much of it. He even sent a message to An Xin.
「 Hahahaha, Steamed Bun, you're late! 」
「 Did you oversleep? Didn't you call me a lazy pig a few days ago? You're pretty much the same! 」
After sending the message, Lin Feng went back to studying. From time to time, he would glance expectantly at the classroom entrance.
He thought he'd see Steamed Bun rushing into class soon enough.
He could even mock her while he was at it.
But …
At 8: 30, An Xin still didn't show up.
At 9: 00, An Xin still didn't show up.
When it was 9: 30 am, two hours had already passed since An Xin came to school. Lin Feng started to feel that something was wrong when An Xin still hadn't shown up.
"Hey, Steamed Bun still isn't here?"
Ouyang, who sat next to Lin Feng, was also puzzled.
Lin Feng furrowed his brows. Even though he was a straightforward person, he couldn't help but think of An Xin's hospitalization a few days ago.
"I'll give her a call!"
Lin Feng walked out of class and took out his phone to call An Xin.
Du! Du! Du!
The call went through.
But the voice on the phone rang for a long time, and no one picked up.
Could Steamed Bun really be sleeping?
He didn't hear the call?
Lin Feng tried to comfort himself, but the worry and uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
School ended at noon. During that time, Lin Feng called An Xin twice and sent her a few WeChat messages, but she still didn't reply.
Lin Feng couldn't sit still.
The other students in the classroom got up and went home for lunch. Yang Fan, Ren Rou, and Tang Bingyao gathered around Lin Feng.
"Still no news from Steamed Bun?"
"He didn't pick up either?"
"That's weird. Even if he overslept, he shouldn't have slept until noon."
Ouyang, who was at the side, suddenly spoke up.
"Then what …"
"Steamed Bun isn't really hospitalized again, is he?"
His words made the others' eyelids twitch uncontrollably. Ren Rou was the first to glare at Ouyang angrily.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"Don't jinx it!"
Ouyang immediately shut his mouth, but he still couldn't help but add, "I … I'm just guessing. Why else would there be no news from Steamed Bun all morning?"
Lin Feng didn't respond, but his lips were tightly pursed. He quickly made a decision.
"I'll call Uncle and Auntie!"
He was referring to Father An and Mother An.
Thus, Lin Feng took out his phone again and quickly dialed Father An's phone number that he had recorded in his address book.
Du! Du! Du!
After a few rings, the call was abruptly cut off.
In its place was a mechanical female voice.
Lin Feng, who was holding the phone to his ear, was stunned.
For a moment, he felt like he was in a daze.
Because his call …
On the other end, Father An took the initiative to hang up.
