Indeed, Su Xiaotian felt her premonition was quite accurate.
As the class monitor, she seemed destined to face trouble because of Yin Ruyun's absence.
In that instant, Su Xiaotian suddenly believed that some people truly had clashing auras.
For instance, she and Yin Ruyun absolutely had clashing auras.
As the class monitor, having been called out, Su Xiaotian, despite her reluctance, had to speak.
She raised her hand.
"Student who raised her hand, did you come to the wrong campus?"
Teacher Xie Nan glanced at Su Xiaotian and spoke irritably.
Had the campus become this chaotic?
Middle schoolers were even coming into university classrooms!
This young girl looked about thirteen or fourteen, and instinctively, Teacher Xie Nan felt this child must be from the affiliated middle school and had entered the wrong classroom.
Su Xiaotian felt a moment of awkwardness at the teacher's words.
Well, she did look a bit young, and there was nothing she could do about it.
She'd just endure it; it would be better in a few days.
Once everyone became familiar with each other, there would be no problem.
"Hello, Teacher Xie, I am Su Xiaotian, the class monitor of the Chinese Language and Literature class!" Su Xiaotian stood up and introduced herself earnestly to Teacher Xie Nan.
Hearing Su Xiaotian's reply, Teacher Xie Nan was clearly incredulous for a moment.
So young?
Not someone who came to the wrong classroom?
And the class monitor?
What was the homeroom teacher of this class doing?
Having such a young child as class monitor, wasn't she afraid others wouldn't obey?
Then, she remembered hearing from colleagues that the Chinese Language and Literature class had a young class monitor.
So, it was this young girl before her.
A well-mannered girl.
Regardless of her manners, she was still a child.
People tend to be more forgiving towards children.
Even Teacher Xie Nan, whom Su Xiaotian saw as similar to the formidable Abbess Miejue, was no exception.
Her voice softened slightly, but only slightly.
Su Xiaotian suspected that if this teacher had a stick in her hand at that moment, she would directly bang it on the podium.
"Tell me, what's going on with your classmate Yin Ruyun? Why isn't she attending class?"
The tone was as if Yin Ruyun's absence was Su Xiaotian's fault.
Fortunately, Su Xiaotian's inner strength was sufficient, and she was not intimidated by the teacher who was about to erupt like a storm.
"Teacher, Yin Ruyun hasn't returned to school since she went home after school the day before yesterday afternoon!"
A standard answer, it answered the question but revealed nothing.
That was the fact, and Su Xiaotian didn't know what Yin Ruyun's situation was!
The school allowed students to return home on weekends.
Her answer was not problematic.
Hearing Su Xiaotian's reply, the female teacher's face darkened further, like ink.
On the first day of class, someone went home and never returned.
What did she think the school was?
Her own kitchen?
Did she not intend to attend school anymore?
Or did she simply not respect teachers?
Students nowadays had no spirit of serious study!
The world was declining!
Even students couldn't compare to those of the past!
Teacher Xie Nan thought to herself.
"Is anyone from her dormitory here?" Teacher Xie Nan was clearly someone who would get to the bottom of things.
"Teacher Xie, Yin Ruyun and I share a dormitory. She did not return to school last night," Su Xiaotian had to say, bracing herself.
Teacher Xie Nan looked at Su Xiaotian and knew that asking this little girl would yield no information.
Forget it, there was no point in asking.
"Five points will be deducted from her usual performance grade. For my class, anyone marked absent during roll call will have five points deducted from their usual performance grade."
Teacher Xie Nan said this and wrote a line in her notebook.
This statement perked up everyone's spirits.
If the occasion were different, some students might have cried out in despair.
Teacher Xie's meaning was that roll call counted towards the usual performance grade?
It was heard that this was possible in university, where usual performance grades could account for a certain proportion.
If the usual performance grade was too low, even with a decent exam score, one might not pass.
Moreover, failing could lead to a series of problems.
For example, having to retake the course the following year, followed by make-up exams, and so on.
The students in the classroom secretly thought that even if they skipped classes, they must not skip Teacher Xie Nan's class.
Otherwise, they might owe the teacher tens of points by the end of the semester.
Who would they reason with then?
Although these students had just started university, they had inquired before coming that university management was much more relaxed than in high school.
But they also knew that if they failed exams, they might not get their graduation certificates.
What were they working so hard for? Wasn't it to get their graduation certificates and find good jobs after graduation?
The Chinese Language and Literature class had no lessons that afternoon. Su Xiaotian originally planned to go to the library to read, but she ended up being lazy and stayed in the dormitory to read.
Under Su Xiaotian's influence, the others also stayed in the dormitory to read.
When Yin Ruyun entered, she saw the scene of the other seven people in the dormitory diligently reading.
Su Xiaotian heard the dormitory door open and looked up. Seeing it was Yin Ruyun, she didn't speak but lowered her gaze and continued reading.
Yin Ruyun also glanced at Su Xiaotian, her gaze filled with resentment.
But since Su Xiaotian had already lowered her gaze and continued reading, she had nowhere to vent her anger and could only resentfully get onto her bed.
Zhao Hongmei wasn't fully focused on reading. Hearing Yin Ruyun's movement, she looked up a few more times.
For some reason, she felt that Yin Ruyun was different today, but she couldn't pinpoint what was different.
However, Zhao Hongmei was not a meticulous person, so even if she felt something was wrong, the thought flashed by.
Seeing Su Xiaotian still engrossed in her reading, Zhao Hongmei's competitive spirit was rekindled.
Persisting in reading was the right thing to do.
Even if she couldn't be the top student in the class by the final exam, she would be a good student and win a scholarship.
Everyone came from different schools, and their knowledge base varied.
But all students were full of enthusiasm for learning. In a dormitory with seven or eight people, not a single person spoke, and everyone was quietly reading.
If a teacher walked in and saw this scene, they would likely feel very gratified.
The girls read until dinner time before agreeing to go out to eat.
They had eaten very well yesterday, and had a lot of meat. Today, they would eat vegetarian together.
However, to the surprise of several people, even after they finished eating and returned, Yin Ruyun was still lying on her bed, motionless, it was unclear whether she was asleep or not.
Dong Yan'an thought they were all classmates and lived in the same dormitory, so she couldn't completely ignore her.
"Ruyun, aren't you eating? Are you feeling unwell?"
