Especially when her deskmate lifted her hair, Ning Wei always felt a mole on her earlobe was incredibly familiar.
Yet, for a moment, she couldn't recall where she had seen it.
Her deskmate sighed, "I understand."
After saying this, she grabbed Ning Wei and pulled her forward. Ning Wei couldn't break free from her grip and could only be dragged along passively.
They walked from day to night. Suddenly, her deskmate stopped and shoved Ning Wei forcefully.
Ning Wei stumbled forward, and when she regained her balance, she found herself back at Mingde Building.
Patrolling security guards were sweeping their flashlights across the corridor. The beams occasionally passed through door cracks and hit the floor beneath the offices.
Ning Wei slowed her breathing and hid beside a cabinet.
After the guards left, she secretly slipped out of Mingde Building.
Reaching the water pipes below the dormitory building, she climbed up with nimble movements and quickly returned to her dorm.
The entire process went unnoticed by anyone.
After a busy night, she yawned and snuggled into her quilt to sleep.
The next morning, as soon as she arrived at the classroom, she saw Fu Chengwei sitting in the back row, playfully winking at her.
Ning Wei glanced at him and directly took her seat.
Seeing that Ning Wei was ignoring him, Fu Chengwei quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her outside.
In the stairwell, when he saw that no one was around, he quietly asked Ning Wei, "How was last night?"
So, that's what he wanted to ask.
Ning Wei replied, "Don't even mention it. It was like a revolving lantern, but I did catch a faint clue. I still need more time to observe the specifics."
Ning Wei left after speaking. She had returned to her dorm and hadn't slept much before dawn. She was extremely tired and was only mustering the strength to get to class. Just as she was about to sleep, Fu Chengwei forcibly pulled her out.
Upon returning to the classroom, just as she was about to bury her head on her desk to sleep, she felt someone pat her on the back.
Looking up, she saw the homeroom teacher walking in.
Today, the homeroom teacher, unusually, wasn't wearing her hair in curls but had it pinned up with a clip, making her appear exceptionally charming and alluring.
She wore sparkling diamond stud earrings, and a beam of sunlight shone onto the podium.
The sunlight and diamonds complemented each other, making it hard not to steal a second glance.
It was precisely these glances that suddenly brought a faint smile to Ning Wei's lips.
She finally knew where that sense of familiarity came from.
The mole on her deskmate's earlobe was exactly the same as the one on the homeroom teacher's ear.
The size and position were identical!
Looking closer at the homeroom teacher's facial features, she bore many similarities to her deskmate.
After working so hard, Ning Wei had finally made a major discovery. She immediately turned to look beside her, only to find her deskmate had vanished!
Even all the desks had changed. Originally, two people sat together, but now everyone had their own individual seat.
Teacher Lu on the podium, who already disliked Ning Wei, immediately berated her the moment Ning Wei slightly turned her head, "Ning Wei! Do you have any respect for me as your homeroom teacher!"
Ning Wei looked at her, "Of course, I do."
Teacher Lu, looking at her beautiful appearance, a wicked thought resurfaced, "I'm lecturing you earnestly, and you're looking around. You'll help out in the cafeteria after school this afternoon!"
Ning Wei looked at her, a smile at the corner of her eyes, "Okay."
After reprimanding her, Teacher Lu casually added a few more remarks and then told the students to continue studying.
The morning reading period finally ended. Fu Chengwei quickly ran over, "Don't worry, I'll have Song Zhi come to save you this afternoon!"
"No need," Ning Wei replied in a muffled voice.
Time passed quickly, and it was almost time for the next class.
Fu Chengwei still secretly found Song Zhi and told him that Ning Wei was being targeted again and reminded him to go to the cafeteria to help her after school.
Song Zhi readily agreed.
Meanwhile, Ning Wei was lost in thought, her head resting on her desk. Her late-night exploration of Mingde Building last night had uncovered so many secrets. She had expected to find her deskmate and clarify things at school today.
However, after confirming her deskmate's identity, she had disappeared.
Just as she had finally found a clue and thought she was seeing through the fog, a new difficulty arose. Ning Wei, frustrated, slammed the table hard.
A loud noise echoed, and the classroom fell silent for a moment before returning to its usual din.
Fu Chengwei walked over from behind, asking with a curious expression, "What's wrong with you?"
Ning Wei ignored him, wrote all her discoveries and guesses from last night on a piece of paper, folded it, and handed it to Fu Chengwei, "Read this and then bury it in the old spot."
Fu Chengwei nodded, took the paper, and secretly read it as if he were a thief. After reading it, his jaw dropped in astonishment.
He quickly scurried back to the front and asked, "Is it true!"
Ning Wei shoved his large head aside, saying with annoyance, "Hurry up and leave, I want to sleep!"
Fu Chengwei pouted and stealthily returned to his seat.
Soon, it was time for school to end. Teacher Lu even stood at the doorway to watch if Ning Wei tried to sneak away.
"Ning Wei, there's no evening self-study tonight. You can't return to the dormitory until you've finished your work in the cafeteria!"
Ning Wei stood up and replied with a smile, "Understood."
After confirming Teacher Lu had left, Fu Chengwei ran over and asked, "Do you really not need Song Zhi to come save you?"
Ning Wei said meaningfully, "He won't have time tonight."
Fu Chengwei looked stunned, clearly not understanding what Ning Wei meant.
"So stupid!"
Ning Wei rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think she'll give Song Zhi a chance to save me tonight?"
Fu Chengwei finally understood and began muttering with a distressed face, "What do I do, what do I do?"
Seeing that he was genuinely worried about her, Ning Wei patted his shoulder, "Hurry up and go eat. I can handle that pig-headed guy tonight."
Fu Chengwei followed Ning Wei to the cafeteria. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Seeing that there were large chicken legs today, Fu Chengwei immediately abandoned Ning Wei and joined the queue.
Ning Wei stood to the side. She saw the portly management uncle inside the serving window leering at her, his eyes revealing a determined intent.
Ning Wei was not intimidated. She voluntarily walked to the back kitchen, served herself food, and then came out to eat with Fu Chengwei.
She placed a large chicken leg on Fu Chengwei's plate and said, "Wait for me in the small grove after you finish eating."
Fu Chengwei said with a hint of grievance, "I'm scared."
Ning Wei glared at him fiercely, "If you don't go, I'll beat you up! Remember to call the others. I have important clues to announce."
As the two were whispering, a figure suddenly appeared above their meal trays. They both turned their heads and saw the management uncle standing beside them.
"Ning Wei, remember to clean the cafeteria today."
He said this and left, giving Ning Wei no opportunity to speak.
Fu Chengwei finished his chicken leg and looked at Ning Wei with a worried expression.
Ning Wei put down her chopsticks, "Finish eating and get out quickly. Remember to notify everyone!"
Fu Chengwei let out a fake, girlish cry and quickly left the cafeteria.
