The bad news was that his deskmate hadn't filled in his temperature, so the entire temperature chart was blank except for the part after his name. The good news was that he asked around and confirmed that the homeroom teacher hadn't even looked at the chart, so he could still fill it in.
He casually snatched a pen from someone and filled in "36" on the back of the thermometer. After thinking for a moment, he also filled in "36" at noon, afternoon, and evening, so he wouldn't have to come back again and again.
After doing all this, Zhu Xiaole returned to his seat. He didn't even have the energy to confront his deskmate; he simply endured his headache and decided to lie down on the table and sleep.
My head ached so badly that I couldn't fall asleep no matter how much I tossed and turned.
Just as Zhu Xiaole was feeling down, the security guard from the school successfully located the place Zhu Xiaole had just been, based on the information provided by a helpful student.
Goodness, this place is really well hidden. I've been on duty at the school for almost ten years, and although I've noticed this place a few times, I've never actually been inside.
The security captain frowned at the stench emanating from the narrow entrance, then pinched his nose and squeezed his way in.
In the darkness, he held up his flashlight and immediately spotted a young man (lv.2.5) squatting inside playing on his phone.
The other person was looking at him in shock, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground without him even realizing it.
Upon seeing that there was indeed someone inside, the security captain (lv.10) first roared angrily, then stretched out his strong left hand and lifted him out like an eagle catching a chick.
"Old Li, is this the person?"
After being dragged out, the security guard uncle (lv.7) called Lao Li took a closer look and was sure that it was the kid who had run away from him before.
"Yes! That's him!"
Okay, if it's him, things will be easier.
The older men didn't waste any time and simply escorted the young man to the security office to keep him company with his buddies.
"One couple, two couples, there's still one more from the school that we haven't caught."
"You! Where did the one who ran away with you go?" The security captain asked menacingly, pointing at the suspect they had just apprehended. The man, true to his word, turned his head away, looking as if he'd rather die than submit.
Tsk, these little bastards, we've questioned them for ages, but they still won't confess. Do you think this will get you away with it? Do you even know how big of a mess you've made? Let's see if you'll still be so tough at the police station later.
"The police took you to see the surveillance footage, right? What did they say?"
"I couldn't see Taiqing's face clearly, so I couldn't find him. I still have to ask these people."
Upon hearing this, the security captain immediately said, "Just take these guys to the police station and let them handle it as they see fit. If they need to go to jail, then so be it; we'll fully cooperate."
Hearing this, the group of thugs squatting on the ground looked on with disdain. The reason was simple: they genuinely believed these guys were bluffing. After all, it was just skipping class by climbing over a wall; how could it possibly involve the police?
But soon, they lost their disdain.
Because, they were actually taken to the police station in a police car with sirens blaring.
Once inside the orange grove, things became much easier. Before long, several young men, barely out of their teens, tearfully confessed what they had done, as well as the two men who were still at large.
Using this information, the school security guards quickly apprehended Zhu Xiaole, who was fast asleep in the classroom.
"You're sleeping during class!"
Because of this brat, the entire security department was working non-stop all morning. When they finally found him in the classroom, he was fast asleep, snoring away!
Immediately, the security guard, enraged, slammed his hand on the table and then, along with another colleague, lifted him up.
However, when they saw his face, the two realized something was wrong.
Why is it so red? And so hot?
In a panic, they quickly grabbed a thermometer and tested Zhu Xiaole's head.
40.3c! And he wasn't even wearing a mask!
"Quickly, take him away! Make sure he puts his mask on!"
After a flurry of activity, the farce that had lasted all morning finally came to an end. The teachers and students in Zhu Xiaole's classroom witnessed the entire scene, but had no idea what had happened.
Although no one knew what had happened, it didn't stop everyone from gossiping. Combining the news of a large-scale search on campus, police cars, Zhu Xiaole's morning reading, and his complete absence during breakfast, various rumors spread rapidly throughout the school.
Although there are many rumors, they are all basically the same: he was infected with the epidemic, and then the security department and the police sent people to arrest him.
By the time these rumors reached Chen Bing's ears, it was already that evening.
Also hearing this rumor was Chen Bing's little follower, Shang Yunmiao. The girl looked nervous after hearing it, probably thinking, like the others, that Zhu Xiaole had been infected.
However, Chen Bing, who had memories of his previous life, was not too worried, because he knew that during the first wave of the epidemic, not only Shangping, but the entire Chaojin City to which Shangping belonged was completely unaffected.
As expected, the school held a class meeting the next morning to reassure everyone and explain the situation in detail.
It turned out that Zhu Xiaole had simply caught a chill from the wind, which led to a fever. The reason the security department came to arrest him and the police car drove to the school was because he and several others had violated epidemic prevention regulations by sneaking out of the school at night to go online.
Incidentally, the person who climbed over the school gate was later caught by the police and taken to the orange orchard for a talk.
After being reprimanded and educated by the police, these people were finally released.
However, what awaited them was not a bright future. On the contrary, the school gave them a major demerit and sent them home, saying they would have to reflect on their actions for a month and take online classes at home.
Zhu Xiaole, who was sick, was also affected, and his punishment was even more severe than the others. Judging from the current situation, he probably won't be able to return before May or June, and that night was very likely his last time entering school before the high school entrance exam.
This made him even more famous than before. Throughout the ninth grade, and even throughout Baishi No.1 Middle School and Baishi Town, there were jokes about him.
Whether he was a laughing stock or not, Chen Bing didn't really care. He just felt that it was a good thing that such a person would most likely never appear in school again.
That evening, Chen Bing returned to his dormitory in a cheerful mood. Before he even entered, he heard some unusual noises coming from inside, wondering what Bai Yitong and Wu Feng were up to.
