When Old Wu learned from other teachers that both Qingran and Xie Ying'an had not come to class, he became somewhat panicked.
These two kids had a tendency towards puppy love, and it wasn't that he hadn't noticed, he just didn't intervene because their grades had been improving, not declining.
Who would have thought that today they would overstep the boundaries so much by simultaneously skipping class without even asking for leave.
It was too much, simply too much!
Old Wu, filled with anger, was about to call both of them when Xie Ying'an's call came through first.
Old Wu answered the phone, and before he could utter a word of reprimand, he heard Xie Ying'an on the other end speak indifferently, "Teacher, Li Qingran is sick, I'm asking for leave on her behalf."
"Sick, sick?" Old Wu was startled, immediately switching to a caring tone: "Have you gone to the hospital?"
Of course, they hadn't gone to the hospital.
