Chapter Twenty-Eight: Absent from the Exam



As the trash can tipped over, the black thermos slowly rolled out of the outlet along the side of the can.

Song Xingjie watched as the damaged black thermos slowly rolled to his feet and stopped in front of him.

"Lu! Zi! Yin!" Song Xingjie gritted his teeth so hard they almost shattered. He was determined to make Lu Zi Yin pay for what he had done today!

Ever since Lu Ziyin delivered milk to Ding Kemeng in Class 1, he seemed to have no more reservations. Whenever Class 1 was over, someone would always see Lu Ziyin at the classroom door!

Lu Ziyin didn't go in. She just stayed at the door of Class 1 for a while and left as soon as class started. She ran back and forth between the third and sixth floors countless times every day, and she managed not to be discovered by the homeroom teacher of Class 1!

This has caused a lot of trouble for the students in Class 1. Every break between classes, Boss Lu stands at the door of their classroom without saying a word, just staring straight into the classroom. As a result, they now have to run every time they go out to the toilet, and they don't dare to stay outside for too long!

The big boss is really scary when he doesn't say anything!

"Sweetie, drink some hot soup. It's good for your health if you have a cold!"

At noon, in the cafeteria, Ye Nai ladled a bowl of hot soup and placed it in front of Ding Kemeng, thoughtfully instructing her, "I specifically went to window number three to get it; their soup tastes the best!"

"Okay, thank you, Nana!" Ding Kemeng took the hot soup, took a sip, and immediately felt much better in her stomach.

Seeing that Ding Kemeng had drunk the soup, Ye Nai felt much relieved. Thinking about the news she had heard recently, Ye Nai was really curious and couldn't help but ask, "Mengbao, what happened between you and Lu Ziyin?"

Lu Ziyin? Ding Kemeng swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Nai Nai, why are you suddenly asking this?"

"Sweetie, I'm not asking you this out of the blue, but haven't you heard the rumors going around school lately?" Ye Nai looked at Ding Kemeng's confused expression and became a little anxious: "It's all over school! They're saying Lu Ziyin likes you and is pursuing you!"

Who does Lu Ziyin like? Does he like her?

Ding Kemeng was stunned. This rumor was too bizarre. She and Lu Ziyin had only met a few times. How could Lu Ziyin like her?

"Nai Nai, these are all rumors spread by others. Lu Ziyin could never like me!" Ding Kemeng didn't believe Ye Nai at all and thought she was joking.

"You said he doesn't like you, then why did someone tell me that Lu Ziyin often goes to see you in Class One and even brings you food?"

Bringing me food? Ding Kemeng thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "You mean the time Lu Ziyin has been bringing me breakfast every morning these past few days? That's because it was raining when school ended on Monday, and I lent him my umbrella, and then I caught a cold from the rain. He felt guilty, so he's been bringing me breakfast these past few days."

"When will he deliver it?"

"He said he would bring me breakfast until my cold is over, but I firmly refused him this morning, and he promised me he wouldn't bring it anymore in the mornings." Lu Ziyin has been bringing her breakfast for three days in a row, but she actually eats a full breakfast every morning before going to school. If she keeps eating an extra breakfast, she'll definitely choke!

"That's good. Just be careful yourself and don't let these messy rumors affect you." Ye Nai sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

"Don't worry, there's nothing between Lu Ziyin and me." Ding Kemeng didn't think it was a serious matter. It was just a rumor. As the person involved, she certainly knew that Lu Ziyin didn't like her, so this little thing couldn't affect her at all!

Time flies, September is coming to an end, and the weather is gradually getting cooler. The new students of Xiushui High School will soon face their first monthly class placement exam in their high school career.

On the first day of the monthly exam, Ding Kemeng collapsed on the bed and couldn't get up.

Mr. Ding called his daughter to get up for a long time, and seeing that he was about to be late, his daughter still didn't come out. Mr. Ding was a little puzzled, so he quickly knocked on his daughter's door.

"My darling daughter, why aren't you up yet? The sun's already high in the sky!" Mr. Ding walked to Ding Kemeng's bedside, gently patted the little bundle of joy under the covers, and said softly, "Mengmeng, wake up!"

Mr. Ding thought his daughter would wake up, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't get up!

Mr. Ding finally realized something was wrong and quickly pulled the blanket down, revealing Ding Kemeng's head. The little girl's eyes were tightly closed, and her face was pale. Mr. Ding reached out and touched Ding Kemeng's forehead; it was burning hot!

His beloved daughter has a high fever!

"Wife, wife! Come quick! Our daughter has a high fever, her forehead is burning hot!" Mr. Ding panicked immediately.

Hearing Mr. Ding's shouts, Mrs. Ding, who was busy in the kitchen, quickly put down what she was doing and rushed to her daughter's bedroom. "What happened? Why does she have such a high fever? Is it high? If it's serious, we need to take her to the hospital right away!"

"Oh, right, I'll go to the garage to get the car. You hurry up and change our daughter's clothes, we need to get to the hospital quickly!" Ding's father was reminded by Ding's mother's words, so he quickly went back to the bedroom to change his clothes, put on his shoes, grabbed the car keys, and headed straight for the garage.

Ding's mother touched Ding Kemeng's forehead, and without hesitation, picked up her daughter, changed her clothes, and carried her to the garage.

In Xiushui, monthly exams are usually organized by the grade-level leaders and then arranged by the class teachers. They are considered major exams. Although monthly exam scores are not included in student records, they directly affect students' class placement!

The first exam of the morning for Class 1 was proctored by their homeroom teacher, Wu Xin. After counting the number of students, there were 39. At first, Wu Xin thought she had made a mistake, but after counting again and finding that there were still 39 students, she realized that one student was missing from the class.

"What's going on? One person is missing from the class! The exam is coming up, where did he go? Doesn't he have any sense of urgency? Does he even want to take the exam?!"

"Teacher!" As the class monitor, Song Xingjie had to take responsibility. "Ding Kemeng didn't come. She didn't attend morning self-study this day. Is something wrong at home...?"

"It's Ding Kemeng again?" Ever since that incident in the office, Wu Xin has never had a good impression of Ding Kemeng. Today is the first day of the monthly exam, and Ding Kemeng is not even here!

Fine, if you don't want to take the exam, then you might as well not come at all in the future!

"Sit down, everyone, and put away your reference books. If Ding Kemeng isn't here for the exam, then she's absent. But you're different. Since you're all here in the classroom, you'd better do your best on the exam!"

"Teacher..." Song Xingjie wanted to say something, but when he met Wu Xin's disapproving gaze, he shut his mouth again. Actually, Ding Kemeng had always been a strong competitor of his in the class, but if she missed one exam, getting first place would be a piece of cake for him!

It was Ding Kemeng's own decision not to take the exam, so her drop in ranking has nothing to do with him, right...?
