The next day, with her hair in disarray, Lu Youyou woke up from her dreams. She stretched lazily, her eyes still half-closed, and fumbled around until she finally found her phone under the covers. Glancing at the bright screen, she saw it was seven in the morning. A sense of relief washed over her; there was still an hour before school, plenty of time.
While a sparse population might indicate a societal crisis, it also meant less competition. At least in Drama World, most high school students started classes at eight o'clock.
Lu Youyou let out a long yawn, wanting to go back to sleep but knowing she couldn't. Frustrated, she pounded her pillow lightly. After spending so much time reading about explosive cases yesterday and thinking about Xu Lie's situation, her usually good sleep quality had been disrupted, leaving her with rare insomnia.
Lack of sleep significantly affected Lu Youyou's mood as she grumbled in a low voice, "Ahhh! That damn Xu Lie, I hope there won't be a next time!"
Unbeknownst to her or the viewers in the comment section, Lu Youyou quickly washed up and had breakfast before saying goodbye to her family. She walked to school in a daze, feeling disconnected from her classes.
Her mind wandered frequently—sometimes thinking of Xu Lie's indifferent expression during the arson incident, other times recalling how he had cried while recounting his sister's tragic experiences. Occasionally, news of urgent police investigations would flash through her mind.
Feeling restless and anxious, Lu Youyou struggled through class as if sitting on pins and needles. She got up and paced around the classroom, drawing the attention of her classmates.
At this point, she no longer cared about their stares; she felt it was necessary to contact Xu Lie. Yes, she should reach out to him. Although she had promised to keep his secrets because he hadn't harmed anyone, she needed to keep an eye on him to prevent any further trouble!
That's right!
Convincing herself internally, Lu Youyou took out her phone only to realize with regret that she hadn’t asked Xu Lie for his contact information! After yesterday's explosion case, everyone had been shaken and left in a hurry; Lu Youyou had returned home in a daze and completely forgotten to ask for Xu Lie's number.
The contact information provided by Ji University included details about students' partners.
Lu Youyou had a decent memory; managing to remember Xu Lie's name and face from the information sheet given by her best friend was already pushing it. There was no way she could recall a string of numbers.
Should she ask her best friend?
As soon as the thought crossed Lu Youyou's mind, she quickly dismissed it. No, no, she had taken a leave of absence yesterday to visit Ji University Building, wanting to see what kind of person her potential partner was like. Moreover, Xu Lie and Lin Yuanliang were in the same class, and her best friend was aware of this.
Lu Youyou hadn’t deceived Lin Yuanliang; she genuinely wanted to invite her best friend along, but since her friend was busy, it hadn’t happened. Now, asking her best friend for Xu Lie's contact information today? That would definitely lead to misunderstandings!
With that in mind, Lu Youyou opened her contacts and searched for Lin Yuanliang. This was the number she had saved when she collected Lin Yuanliang's information last week. After pondering for a moment, she sent a text: "Hey, it's Lu Youyou. Are you attending classes at school today?"
A short while later, Lin Yuanliang replied: "I know; I picked up the information yesterday, and your number was in there. I'm at school now; thanks for checking in."
Oh dear, seeing Lin Yuanliang's response made Lu Youyou feel a bit awkward. She had intended to indirectly inquire about Xu Lie but ended up sounding like she was concerned about whether Lin Yuanliang was attending school.
Perhaps due to the explosion they experienced yesterday, Lin Yuanliang mistakenly thought that her message was about checking on her well-being? Well, it was too late to correct it now. She decided to go along with it: "So, after yesterday's explosion, I guess quite a few people from your class took leave to rest?"
