Chapter 1009: Chapter 461: Excellent Teachers Take the Initiative
Shit.
Why is Old Jian still coming after me?
Oi, Old Deng, I’m standing right in front of you, do I look a bit like I used to?
Lin Li really wanted to say that, but he was scared to death.
And at this moment, Bai Bufan was even more overwhelmed, his three legs were all weak, let alone answering Xue Jian’s question, his breathing became labored, so to avoid Xue Jian noticing anything amiss, naturally, it had to be Lin Li to turn around and cover up:
"Class 4 of Grade 1? Hmm... when I just passed by, I didn’t see anyone inside."
Lin Li pretended to meditate and think.
"Okay, got it." Upon hearing this response, Xue Jian nodded.
Just that his brows furrowed even more.
He came to the teaching building indeed to find Lin Li and Bai Bufan.
Because these two restless troublemakers had been missing for at least twenty minutes.
Why can I only give a vague assessment like "at least twenty minutes"?
Because twenty minutes ago, when Xue Jian walked around his own class area, he immediately noticed that Lin Li and Bai Bufan were missing, so he asked Wang Ze next to him.
— "Wang Ze, where are those two?"
— "They went to the bathroom."
— "How long have they been gone?" freёwebnovel.com
— "Just left."
At the end of this conversation, Xue Jian didn’t pay much attention, thinking it was still normal, so he nodded and went back to his own business. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
But five minutes ago, about ten minutes after that conversation, when Xue Jian finished his business and came back, finding those two still not around, he got a bit uneasy.
At that time, Wang Ze went to the front of the group for a photo, so Xue Jian asked Zhou Baowei next to him.
— "Bao Wei, why haven’t those two come back yet?"
— "They just came back."
— "Where are they?"
— "Went to the front for a photo."
— "How long ago did they go?"
— "Just left."
Another minute passed.
— "Wang Ze, where are Lin Li and Bai Bufan?"
— "Huh?"
— "Bao Wei said they were taking photos here."
— "Oh, yes."
— "Where are they?"
— "Went backstage to cheer on Zhang Liya."
— "How long ago did they go?"
— "Just left."
Hey, this seems a bit off.
Who can understand the feeling of shattering in Xue Jian’s heart when he heard yet another "just left"?
Xue Jian felt a pang in his heart and fully realized that even Wang Ze’s first "just left" twenty minutes ago might not be credible.
Sure enough, under Xue Jian’s pressing, Wang Ze truthfully confessed that Lin Li and Bai Bufan hadn’t come back at all.
This news, to be honest, was quite shocking. Xue Jian’s first reaction was to @ them in the class group chat.
But after waiting for a minute or two and not receiving any reply, Xue Jian, just planning to return to the classroom once, decided to come back and see if the two were hiding in the classroom playing with their phones.
But now that he couldn’t even find them in the classroom, Xue Jian indeed felt a bit uneasy and worried.
Of course, the ones he was worried and uneasy about weren’t Lin Li and Bai Bufan, but Nansang Middle School.
Xue Jian always felt that these two might be torturing some Nansang teachers or students in some corner of the school right now.
After getting confirmation from two teachers, Xue Jian privately messaged them on WeChat again but still got no response.
Xue Jian thought it was time to make a call.
He couldn’t be bothered to walk away, so Xue Jian stood at the staircase, watching four students doing frog jumps, and dialed Lin Li’s phone number.
"Brr—"
"Brr—"
"..."
When the call went through, Xue Jian only heard a busy signal.
"..."
"Sorry, the subscriber you dialed cannot be reached at the moment, please try again later!"
"Sorry! The subscriber you dialed cannot be connected for the moment, please redial later!"
"Sorry..."
Upon hearing the electronic prompt, Xue Jian took the phone away from his ear with a frown.
If they were playing games, it’s possible they didn’t see the message, but how could they miss a call notification? Especially when it’s a call from me?
They’ve got the nerve not to answer?
Lost in thought, Xue Jian didn’t notice that a teacher a few meters ahead of him was pressing down tightly on the left pocket of his pants, which had been vibrating.
If they were a bit closer, Xue Jian could even hear the faint sound of gulping down saliva.
Unfortunately, if does not exist.
Xue Jian clicked his tongue, then switched his target and called Bai Bufan.
These two must be together.
— "Brr—"
— "~I have a good brother~ He’s like a cripple~ I stay up past midnight, sleep till noon, always wanting to escape~ He snores and farts in his sleep~ He’s even quite proud of it..."
At the moment when the busy tone appeared on Xue Jian’s phone, the music of "I Have a Little Donkey" almost played simultaneously from the briefcase of another quiet, speechless teacher standing in front of him.
"Shit, who’s calling me."
Though it was his own ringtone, Bai Bufan was startled and cursed at whichever idiot decided to call him at this moment.
As he reached to open his briefcase to get his phone, Bai Bufan naturally made eye contact with Lin Li beside him for a brief moment.
Shit.
Why is Lin Li staring at him so intensely?
And it seemed like his eyes were saying, "Bai Bufan, I’m going to break you like a piñata"!!!
What’s happening?
What did I do?
When Bai Bufan took out his phone from the briefcase and saw that the contact displayed was "Old Jian," he almost tossed his phone away.
Shit!!!
Bai Bufan’s Adam’s apple moved as he held the phone with a trembling right hand, too afraid to turn around and face the real deal; he could only look at Lin Li with a gaze full of terror and pleading for help.
