The sky was gray and not bright yet.

Shu Xi took out her phone and looked at it. It was already getting late, it was already half past ten!

Um? It's half past ten? !

Shu Xi woke up suddenly. She sat up and glanced at the seat next to her. She didn't know when Bao Mu Nian was gone.

She hurriedly washed and changed clothes.

Her clothes are always simple, just jeans and a T-shirt.

She likes this simple and comfortable feeling. Wearing a skirt with lady's shoes is too troublesome to fight.

Lin's mother had joked before that she didn't fight every day, so Shu Xi smiled and said, just in case.

When she came out of the bedroom, Lin's mother was sitting in front of the TV watching her bloody family ethics drama. While watching, she scolded: "This heartless man, beware of thunder!"

The TV she turned on was so quiet that you couldn't hear it unless you listened carefully.

As soon as Shu Xi came over, she heard it and stood up quickly: "Xi Xi, are you up?"

Shu Xi nodded: "Mama Lin, why don't you turn up the TV volume? It's so quiet, can you hear it?"

Mother Lin said: "I don't want to disturb you from rest."

Shu Xi said: "The sun is already basking on my butt. You should have woken me up long ago."

She added: "Why didn't you wake me up this morning?"

Mother Lin said: "It's what the young master meant, because he said you have been working too hard recently, so he wanted you to have a good rest. He even called Mrs. Lan himself and asked for leave for you."

Shu Xi felt sweet in her heart, as if she had been filled with honey.

She just said, she was already late, why didn't Mrs. Lan call me? It turned out that Bo Mu Nian had asked for leave for her.

Shu Xi ate something randomly and got ready to go out. She said, "Mama Lin, I'm going on a business trip today. I might come back late in the evening. There's no need to cook me dinner."

"You're on a business trip, don't you need me to help you pack your luggage?" Mother Lin asked quickly.

Shu Xi said: "No, it's just in Linshi. It's a quick trip back and forth. I don't want to stay here anymore."

Mother Lin said: "Okay then, tell me when you come back and I will cook some noodles for you in advance."

Mother Lin always treats her as a child and is always afraid that she will be hungry.

Shu Xi said: "Okay, let's talk about it then."

Shu Xi went out and was about to drive when her cell phone rang. It was Bo Mu Nian's call.

"woke up?"

Bo Mu Nian's deep and mellow voice came from the mobile phone. It was more beautiful than any melody in the world. Shu Xi was in a good mood: "Well, I'm awake."

I haven't slept so comfortably for a long time. When I woke up, I felt very energetic.

Bo Mu Nian said: "Let's have lunch together?"

Shu Xi said, "No, I'm going to Linshi today. I think my sister Xiaoying is a little weird, and she seems to have something on her mind."

She wanted to tell Bo Mu Nian last night, but she forgot.

Bo Mu Nian hummed lightly and said, "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Shu Xi said, "No, I'll just go over and take a look. It's not a big deal."

"Okay, if you need anything, tell me. I'll go to the meeting first."

Shu Xi hung up the phone and drove to Linshi where Lin Ying was.

It took more than two hours in total, and Shu Xi finally arrived at Lin Ying's school. Since Lin Ying's school is basically full of students who live on campus, the guards keep a close eye on visitors, and Shu Xi must be registered before they can enter.

Fortunately, Shu Xi always had a good memory. She told Lin Ying's class and name, registered and went in.

At this time, it happened to be time for school to end. Almost all the students had finished their lunch in the cafeteria and went back to their dormitories or classrooms to rest.

Shu Xi caught a passing student and asked about the location of the classroom, and was about to go to the classroom to find Lin Ying.

Everyone looked at Shu Xi curiously, because Shu Xi was so beautiful. Although she was dressed plainly, she exuded an invincible sense of youth, which made these people think that Shu Xi was the same age as them.

"Is she a student or a teacher? Why isn't she wearing school uniform?"

Linshi No. 1 Middle School has strict school rules. Students are required to wear school uniforms when in school. Shu Xi was wearing casual clothes, so most people guessed that she was a new teacher.

Shu Xi seems to shine in the crowd, and is the most dazzling presence wherever she goes.

Someone secretly followed her all the way, wanting to know what she was doing.

Shu Xi went to Lin Ying's classroom, but did not find her in her classroom. Shu Xi asked the students there, but no one knew where Lin Ying had gone.

No one seemed to be familiar with Lin Ying. When her name was mentioned, the expressions on those people's faces were strange. They seemed to be evading and a little guilty.

What's more, there was an expression of gloating on their faces, as if they were expecting something.

Shu Xi called Lin Ying's cell phone, but it was turned off.

After Shu Xi walked out, a girl came out and followed her carefully.

Shu Xi walked a little further, then turned to look at the person coming: "What do you want to do?"

Perhaps the aura exuded by Shu Xi was too strong, which made people feel more pressured. The girl was startled and subconsciously took a step back: "I'm sorry, I..."

"I just want to tell you where Lin Ying is." The girl's eyes flashed slightly, as if she was very scared.

The seriousness on Shu Xi's face dissipated a little, and her whole face became much kinder. She said, "I'm sorry, do you really know where Xiaoying is?"

"Well, I know. She and I are good friends. I'll show you the way."

Shu Xi said, "Then please take me to find her."

Shu Xi didn't ask why the girl didn't tell her the truth in the classroom just now, but waited until she was far away before talking.

The top priority now was not to pursue these matters, but to find Lin Ying as soon as possible. She always felt that something had happened to Lin Ying.

The girl led Shu Xi away, as if she was afraid that Shu Xi would not follow. After walking for a short distance, she looked back at Shu Xi and walked until she walked to the woods at the back door of the school.

"Lin Ying usually likes to hide in the woods and read."

The girl pointed in a direction, Shu Xi narrowed his eyes and looked towards the girl.

The girl's heart skipped a beat.

Shu Xi's eyes were very sharp, as if he could see through her at a glance.

The girl said bravely: "She's inside, I'll leave first."

The girl turned around and wanted to leave, but before she had taken two steps, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her back collar, and then her whole body felt light. Shu Xi grabbed her by the back collar and lifted her up, as if she was carrying a chicken: " Thank you for taking me here, but I am not very familiar with the road here to send Buddha to the west, so please show me the way."

The girl became panicked. She struggled, trying to break away from Shu Xi's hand, but Shu Xi was very strong and lifted her up with one hand. No matter how hard she struggled, it was useless.

She had no choice but to shout at the top of her lungs: "Help, help..."
