After treating her wounded heart by filling her stomach to the brim, Sia smiled in satisfaction. After hanging around in the grand park for another half an hour, the four girls left the place and made their way to the next destination but because the time was right, they did not spend much time on their next destination.
When it was almost evening, Sia and the rest finally decided to head back to the city.
Anyway, they would reach the school late, so the girls decided to stop near a restaurant and fill their stomachs before they went back to school.
Spending the rest of the money on the food, the girls left the restaurant and made their way towards the school.
By the time Sia and her group reached the school, it was already half-past nine.
Narrowly escaping the security guards' eyes, Sia and her group slipped inside the school gate and disappeared in the dark.
Reaching their room, Sia and the rest slumped on their bed tiredly. Not even bothering to change into their pajamas, the girls fell asleep on their bed in no time.
The next day early morning, dressing up themself, the girls hurried to school early thinking to meet the boys but when they reached the class, they did not find any sign of the five boys. Worried, Su Yan and An Ran tried to call Si Ming many times but the end result was they couldn't reach them.
three days passed but there was still no news about the boys. Worried, the girls were no longer in the mood to attend classes but they still had no choice but to attend the classes.
Lunch hour, in the cafeteria...
Su Yan held the spoon and leaned her chin on her hand and looked at her lunch with a dispirited look and asked "Why aren't they back yet? It has already been five days since they disappeared"
holding Sia's arms, An Ran was almost on the verge to cry when she asked "Baby, they are all alright right? Nothing has happened to them right?"
Patting An Ran's hand, Sia sighed and said "Don't worry. They will be fine"
"But...why aren't they lifting our call? nor are they sending us any message. Don't they know how worried we will be if they act like this?"
"Calm down, the boys cannot be blamed. When on a mission, it is necessary for them to turn off their phone in order to not let the enemies track their location. Once they complete the mission, they will surely call you back"
Unassured, An Ran looked at Sia worriedly and asked "Really?"
Patting the back of her hand gently, Sia smiled and reassured "Hmm...so don't worry"
Not getting a point, Su Yan raised her head and looked at Sia before she asked while squinting her eyes "Baby, how do you know about soo many things?"
As expected, Su Yan believed Sia and muttered to herself "Do comics have so many benefits? Seems like I should start reading one"
Hearing Su Yan's comment, Xiao Li looked at her from the corner of her eyes and said mercilessly "If you have enough time to spare then use it to fill that empty brain of yours or else Don't come begging me when the exams are near" she said expressionlessly before she continued having her food.
Dropping her spoon, Su Yan looked at Xiao Li with her mouth wide for a few seconds before she finally commented in an unamused tone "Can't you forget about studies for a minute or at least can you hold yourself from bringing the topic of studies while eating?" then looking at how calmly Xiao Li was eating, Su Yan pointed at her plate and commented, "And, how do you have the mood to eat when we are worried?"
Turning to Su Yan, Xiao Li did not open her mouth immediately but instead continued eating. gulping the chewed food, she replied expressionlessly "What should I be worried about? it's not like I have a boyfriend nor a fiance with whom I'm soon going to engaged"
"You....you're so cruel" Su Yan berated
Shrugging her shoulder, Xiao Li commented "At least I'm far better than someone who had completely wiped out their plate" she said while pointing her chin at Sia
"huh?" with a frown, when Su Yan turned to Sia, She was dumbfounded when she saw Sia's empty and clean plate.
With an innocent look, Sia said "My mother said not to let my mood affect my stomach so...."
"...." 'Are you sure your mother said not to let your mood affect your stomach instead of saying not to let your stomach affect your mood?' Su Yan thought to herself.
Blinking her eyes innocently, Sia looked at Su Yan with an expression saying 'See how filial I'm an, come on worship me'. At this moment, Su Yan really wanted to bow in front of Sia's little stomach which had storage worth of carrying three adults food at the same time.
Leaning her head on her head, Su Yan looked at Xiao Li, then Sia, before she turned to An Ran and sighed 'I hope at least An Ran is normal among all the abnormalities....sigh'
The fourth day passed and there was still no sign of the boys. Seeing An Ran and Su Yan who were almost on the verge breaking down, Sia frowned.
Just as she was about to take out her cell phone and ask her ninth brother to help her trace the whereabouts of the five animals, the five animals who went missing for such a long time finally appeared in the class. But as soon as Sia's eyes laid down on certain someone, her frown deepened further.
