"Has Lu Ziyin not checked his phone yet?" After taking a shower, Ding Kemeng glanced at her phone. The chat app was empty. Her chat with Lu Ziyin was still on the apology letter she had sent him, and Lu Ziyin had not replied.
Her phone was practically being stared at relentlessly, but Lu Ziyin still hadn't replied. Ding Kemeng suddenly felt a little wronged; did this mean she never wanted to talk to her again?
Is Lu Ziyin really that petty? She already apologized!
"Ugh—!" Ding Kemeng yelled in frustration, threw her phone on the bed, and decided she didn't want to deal with it anymore.
She has an exam tomorrow, so she should focus on studying first. She can apologize after the exam!
Meanwhile, at the Lu family home, Lu Ziyin finished dinner and turned on her computer to start drawing. She drew until the early hours of the morning before turning off the computer and going to sleep. As for her phone, which had run out of battery, Lu Ziyin completely forgot about it.
The next morning, Ding Kemeng got up early and, under the loving gaze of her parents, carefully ate the breakfast her mother had prepared for the exam. Then, she carried her schoolbag and went out.
"Cute baby, so early!" Ye Nai met Ding Kemeng at the school gate and quickly greeted her with a smile.
"Nai Nai!" Ding Kemeng looked up and smiled.
The man in the black suit who had brought Ye Nai to school heard Ding Kemeng's voice, turned around, and smiled: "Good morning, Miss Ding."
When Ding Kemeng saw the man, her smile became even brighter: "Good morning, Brother Rong!"
Seeing Ding Kemeng's smile, the man smiled and nodded. Then he looked at Ye Nai, handed her the backpack, and said, "Miss, I'll go back now. I'll come back to pick you up tonight." After saying that, the man went straight back to his car, started the engine, and drove away.
Watching the man's car drive away, Ding Kemeng asked softly, "Nai Nai, didn't Brother Rong go abroad? Why is he back?"
Ye Nai rolled her eyes, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and said, "Who knows? Dad told me to come back, so I came back like a dog! Seriously, why is my word not so effective?"
"Nai Nai, aren't you afraid he'll punish you if he hears you talking like that?" Ding Kemeng really couldn't understand Ye Nai's thoughts. She clearly really wanted to see Rong Ge come back, but every time Rong Ge came back, she would show a face that hated him.
"Hehe..." Ye Nai pounced on Ding Kemeng, vigorously rubbed Ding Kemeng's cheeks, and laughed, "Our adorable baby wouldn't say anything I said, right!"
"Ugh... Let go—!" Ding Kemeng pushed away Ye Nai's vicious hand, sighed, and laughed helplessly, "You'd better be honest!"
Ye Nai shrugged and didn't reply.
Seeing Ye Nai's expression, Ding Kemeng knew that Ye Nai definitely hadn't listened to what she was saying!
The two walked slowly to the teaching building and didn't separate until they were almost inside the classroom.
"Sister Meng—!" Ding Kemeng had just entered the classroom when Lin Changmao's scream reached her ears.
A tall, dark-skinned man, over six feet tall, rushed towards her, and Ding Kemeng immediately became nervous: "Wh-what's wrong?"
"Sister Meng, the exam ranking list is out! You're sitting right next to me~~~" Lin Changmao's dark face was framed by a pair of beady black eyes that blinked as he looked at Ding Kemeng, practically begging for a hug right there and then!
"Lin Changmao, do you have any dignity?!" Tang Zhizhou kicked Lin Changmao away, his face full of anger, but the next second he put on a pitiful expression, "Sister Meng—! We have a good relationship, right!"
Ding Kemeng looked at Tang Zhizhou, somewhat embarrassed: "You...you're sitting near me too?"
"Uh-huh!"
Tang Zhizhou nodded repeatedly, his large hand gripping Ding Kemeng's sleeve and gently shaking it: "Sister Meng! You're the most beautiful and smartest! Please help me, okay?"
"Not good!" A low, hoarse voice rang out above him. Before Tang Zhizhou could even finish his questioning, his collar was grabbed.
"Who is it! Let go, let go!" Tang Zhizhou began to struggle.
"Tang Zhizhou, you've got some nerve!"
The collar was loosened, but the ears were grabbed.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Tang Zhizhou was forced to turn his head, tears welling up in his eyes from the pain. "Teacher, please let go! Let go! Let go!"
"Now you know what pain is? Where did your courage to ask for the answer go?" Zhao Qian had just entered the classroom when he saw Tang Zhizhou shamelessly begging for the answer from Ding Kemeng, which infuriated him!
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I'll never do it again!" Tang Zhizhou covered his ears, laughing heartlessly, and apologized repeatedly.
"You're full of lies and all you know how to do is play tricks!" Zhao Qian spat at Tang Zhizhou and ignored him.
After instructing Ding Kemeng and the others to return to their seats, Zhao Qian went to the podium, glanced at the class, paused, and asked, "Hasn't Lu Ziyin arrived yet?"
"Brother Lu is probably late, but it's okay, he'll definitely be there before the exam!" Tang Zhizhou replied to Zhao Qian with a grin.
Zhao Qian thought about it for a moment. He was indeed not the kind of person who would skip exams. Anyway, it was normal for him to be late. Let him be. As long as he didn't miss the exam, that was fine!
Ding Kemeng glanced at the seat next to her and fell silent.
She and Lu Ziyin hadn't spoken for a day and a night. After that, she sent him several more messages, but he didn't reply to any of them.
Does this mean I'm breaking off all contact with her?
Because he was worried that the people sitting with Ding Kemeng might be suspected of cheating, Zhao Qian deliberately left several tables near Ding Kemeng empty. Until the last second before entering the examination room, Zhao Qian kept a close eye on Tang Zhizhou and the others, fearing that they would be thrown out of the examination room by the invigilator for cheating.
After two consecutive days of exams, my brain barely had a break. The weekend was over, so the school immediately gave the students a break. The teachers then organized the exam papers and began grading them for two days.
Ding Kemeng didn't know if Lu Ziyin had received her message, because Lu Ziyin hadn't replied to her by Monday when school started.
This person suddenly entered her life, but then disappeared just as quickly.
Ding Kemeng strolled leisurely into Class 10's classroom. She glanced at her seat, but Lu Ziyin was still not there.
"Sister Meng!" Tang Zhizhou waved to Ding Kemeng when he saw her and said with a smile, "Good morning!"
"Good morning." Ding Kemeng sat down and greeted Tang Zhizhou with a smile.
After putting her schoolbag away, Ding Kemeng took out her textbooks, glanced at the empty seat next to her, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to ask, "Tang Zhizhou, do you know where Lu Ziyin went?" They were both in Class 10, and should have taken the exam in the same classroom, but she didn't see Lu Ziyin in the exam room after the exam that day.
"Huh? Didn't he tell you?" Tang Zhizhou was still flipping through his comic book when he heard Ding Kemeng's question. He explained, "He usually goes on a long trip on weekends to see his mother... a relative on his mother's side. One of his relatives is sick, and he has to go to the hospital to take care of him. He should have gone this weekend too."
"Relatives?" Ding Kemeng had no idea about this.
"It's normal that you don't know; he doesn't like to talk about these things."
"Is that so..."
