"I...I wasn't in a good mood yesterday, so I went home first. I was staying at my friend's place, which wasn't very convenient. Maybe next time, I'll invite you over next time."
[Okay... By the way, Xiaobai, hurry up and call my brother. He's still in the school's security room. Ever since he found out you were missing, he's been staying there, constantly reviewing the footage. He hasn't been getting any sleep.]
