Fu Xiuhan forced himself to remain calm and repeated, "Is there anything you want to say to me?"
Shi Qian didn't quite understand what Fu Xiuhan meant. What did she want to say to him?
Am I sorry? Did I bother Fu Xiuhan too much before?
After careful recollection, Shi Qian concluded that Fu Xiuhan seemed to dislike him quite a bit, and was even unwilling to make friends with him.
Thinking that perhaps she had bothered Fu Xiuhan, she decided to have dinner alone with Meng Qing next time.
Shi Qian spoke cautiously, saying, "I'm sorry."
Then she added, "I was so immature before, and I kept bothering you. Now I know better, and I won't bother you anymore."
Shi Qian felt that since Fu Xiuhan was unwilling to be friends with him, he should stay away from him. Now that he had Meng Qing, he could say that he had taken the first step in making friends.
Upon hearing Shi Qian's words, Fu Xiuhan's face instantly darkened. What did he mean by "I know" and "I won't bother you"? Fu Xiuhan was somewhat displeased. He wasn't concerned about that right now.
Just as he was about to say something more, Meng Qing and Song Qi returned, so Fu Xiuhan had no choice but to shut up.
The meal was eaten quietly; almost no one spoke throughout. Song Qi wanted to liven things up, but seeing Fu Xiuhan's unhappy face, he wondered if Shi Qian had offended him again. Had she confessed to Fu Xiuhan again?
Fu Xiuhan's expression was not good. He kept an eye on Shi Qian's movements across from him and inevitably saw Shi Qian throwing dishes she didn't like into Fu Xiuhan's lunchbox. He felt that the two were being a bit too intimate.
When Shi Qian ate something he didn't want, he remembered that Meng Qing had told him not to waste food. He quietly asked Meng Qing if he wanted it. Meng Qing told him to put it over, so Shi Qian started picking and choosing, putting all the food he didn't like into Meng Qing's bowl.
Shi Qian was unaware that there was anything wrong with his behavior. He had not received any social training, and when Meng Qing asked him to give it to him, he obediently gave it to her without realizing that his behavior was somewhat ambiguous.
The last period in the afternoon was physical education class. Shi Qian was not feeling well, so he asked the teacher for leave and stayed in the classroom by himself.
Shi Qian was dozing off on his desk when a stranger suddenly appeared at the door and called out to him, "The teacher wants you to go to the equipment room."
Shi Qian thought it might be one of his classmates, since he had just arrived and it was normal that he didn't know everyone yet.
Shi Qian wanted to ask what they were going to do, but the man urged him to hurry up with a bad expression, as if he was in a great hurry. Shi Qian didn't dare to ask again and could only get up in a hurry.
Shi Qian remembered the location of the equipment room; he had stopped Fu Xiuhan there several times before. So he followed his memory and headed towards his destination.
The equipment room was in the building near the back mountain. It was a huge two-story building. Shi Qian walked for a long time before finally reaching the door. He pushed the door open and was about to go in when suddenly there was a force behind him, and Shi Qian fell to the floor.
The door slammed shut, and Shi Qian could hear the lock click shut.
He got up and pushed the door, trying to open it, but unfortunately the door was locked from the outside, and Shi Qian couldn't get out at all.
The equipment room was dark, but Shi Qian remembered there was a light. Dragging his aching knees, he carefully felt for the light switch.
They finally found it, but Shi Qian tried pressing it several times and it wouldn't light up at all.
The power to the equipment room was cut off from the outside.
Shi Qian was not used to the darkness and was having trouble breathing. There was only one small window in the equipment room, and it was locked.
Shi Qian wanted to call for help, but he had rushed out without his phone. At that moment, he leaned against the door and slowly slid down to sit on the floor, breathing heavily.
Shi Qianqiang struggled to keep his hands on the door, hoping that someone passing by would hear the commotion, but unfortunately the equipment room was under maintenance and construction for the past few days and no students were passing by at all.
Shi Qian was sweating profusely; the back of his clothes was soaked through. He disliked the dark, and staying in the dark for too long would trigger his panic attacks.
At this moment, she was curled up on the floor, hugging her legs.
Shi Qian felt she was about to die, and gradually lost consciousness and fainted.
After PE class, Meng Qing returned to the classroom and found that Shi Qian was not there. She assumed that he had gone to the toilet, so she waited for a while. However, after everyone in the class had left, Shi Qian still did not return.
He called Shi Qian and found his phone vibrating in the drawer; Shi Qian didn't have his phone with him.
His schoolbag was neatly placed on his seat, so where did he go?
Meng Qing was a little worried and went to the restroom to look for him, but she didn't find him.
Did they go home early?
Impossible. Meng Qing and Shi Qian had agreed to go home together. Shi Qian wouldn't suddenly stand him up.
Meng Qing was a little anxious, so she grabbed the students who hadn't left yet in the corridor and asked them if they had seen Shi Qian.
After a day, the forum was flooded with news. Everyone knew that Shi Qian had returned to school with a new look, completely different from the strange person he used to be.
Someone even secretly took photos of Shi Qian and uploaded them online. All day long, everyone was speculating whether Shi Qian had undergone plastic surgery, saying the doctor's skills were extremely advanced.
Therefore, when Meng Qing asked, everyone said they had never seen it before.
Only one person said they thought they saw her, saying that Shi Qian left the school early and probably went home.
Meng Qing didn't believe it; Shi Qian had promised to wait for her, so it was impossible for him to leave alone.
He could only search the school, place by place, and Shi Qian was sure he was still there.
As Meng Qing hurried downstairs, she accidentally bumped into Song Qi, who had just returned. Song Qi was about to curse when he realized it was Meng Qing and asked, "Where are you rushing off to?"
Meng Qing quickly replied, "Shi Qian is missing," and then ran away in an instant.
Song Qi was also stunned for a moment before realizing that Meng Qing was referring to Shi Qian, who was missing. How could such a living person just disappear?
I guess he went home first.
Song Qi didn't care much. He went back to the classroom to get the watch he had forgotten to bring from his drawer, and then went to the door to find Fu Xiuhan.
The school has two-person dormitories. Song Qi and Fu Xiuhan live together. As soon as he went downstairs, he saw Fu Xiuhan leaning against the railing waiting for him.
"Xiu Han, did you see Meng Qing just now?"
Fu Xiuhan's gaze remained fixed on his phone; he did not reply.
Song Qi was already used to Fu Xiuhan's taciturn nature, so he continued, "He was in such a hurry just now, saying that Shi Qian was missing. It's ridiculous. How could such a grown man just disappear?"
Fu Xiuhan, who had been looking down, raised his head upon hearing the words "Shi Qian is missing," frowned at Song Qi, and asked, "Meng Qing said Shi Qian is missing?"
"Yeah, I just went back to the classroom and Shi Qian's backpack was still in his seat. I guess he ran off somewhere at school."
"Is it really necessary? Seeing how anxious Meng Qing is, I thought something terrible had happened!"
Fu Xiuhan's expression immediately turned serious. He tossed his backpack to Song Qi, telling Song Qi to go back to the dormitory first, and that he had something to do and would go back later.
Before Song Qi could respond, the man vanished in an instant.
