  Chu Xiyu withdrew her hand and felt a little at a loss when facing Qin Ji.

  He sat and turned around, picked up the chopsticks on the table, with a thin powder on his cheeks, "Let's eat."

  "Um."

  Qin Ji sat down next to him, picked up food for him, and asked, "Why did you ask for leave today? Where did you go this afternoon?"

  Chu Xiyu took a bite of the crispy bamboo shoots and chewed them, wondering how Qin Ji even knew that he had asked for leave.

  "I went to the East Campus again." Chu Xiyu replied, lowering his head and taking a sip of soup.

  Qin Ji looked at him: "What are you doing there?"

  "I left something there and I want to find it." Chu Xiyu made up a random reason.

  Qin Ji paused, obviously not believing Chu Xiyu's words, "I heard that a girl in your class is missing."

  "Yes." Chu Xiyu raised it and took a bite of the crispy bamboo shoots, "I only found out today."

  Qin Ji stared at him and said, "The place where she disappeared is also in the East Campus."

  Chu Xiyu's eyes were startled, and she raised her eyes to look at Qin Ji. He seemed to be always at a disadvantage, and Qin Ji could see through what he was thinking at a glance.

  "Yes." Chu Xiyu tactically picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup.

  "Why did you go to such a dangerous place? Ayu, are you hiding something from me again?"

  "No." Chu Xiyu smiled and said with a guilty conscience: "I won't lie to you, Mr. Qin."

  "You used to tell me everything." Qin Ji clasped his hands to support his chin and said, "Did we become estranged?"

  Qin Ji's tone was filled with loneliness, which made Chu Xiyu feel a little guilty inexplicably.

  Chu Xiyu's peach blossom eyes widened, and she hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, that's not the case."

  He glanced at the silent Qin Ji, pursed his lips, and said vaguely: "I have my own reasons."

  Qin Ji frowned, his eyes dark, and asked, "Ayu, what's the matter with you that you can't tell me?"

  "No." Chu Xiyu shook his head and hesitated, "I'm just... afraid that you will be worried."

  Qin Jidao: "If you don't tell me, I will be more worried."

  He recalled what Chu Xiyu said in the dormitory, and his heart was occupied by a sense of uneasiness.

  He must know Chu Xiyu's purpose of doing this in order to feel at ease.

  "I actually want to find the missing classmate." Chu Xiyu frowned and concealed her words, "She was waiting for me at the East Campus that day. If I had arrived earlier, she might not have been there." will be missing."

  Chu Xiyu's words were very reasonable. He did it simply because of guilt, not because he had a purpose.

  "Ayu, you are so kind. This incident is not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself at all. None of us can predict that accidents will happen."

  The uneasiness in Qin Ji's eyes gradually dissipated, and he reassured him: "This kind of matter should be left to the police. I know you are worried about her, but your power is small. It will be difficult for you to find her alone. Next time Don't do such stupid things alone anymore, you know?"
