Chapter 207 Asking for leave
"Teacher Fan, Lin Yuehua didn't come to school today."

During morning reading the next day, Li Zhuangsheng looked at the empty chair next to him and raised his hand to report to his class teacher.

"Oh, she just called and asked for leave in the morning," said Teacher Fan.

"asked for leave?"

Li Zhuangsheng was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the time they parted, which was also so quiet in the morning.

"Did she say what the reason was?" Li Zhuangsheng asked quickly.

"It seems to be..." Teacher Fan's eyes flickered, "You are not feeling well. You should come in the afternoon."

He is lying, Li Zhuangsheng thought. He panicked instantly and wanted to leave school immediately and go to Lin Yuehua's house to check the situation.

Did something happen to her grandmother? But there was still a year left, or was there some other reason? Did she take a leave at this time in her previous life?

I don't remember. At that time, they were not familiar with each other at all. He was dazzled by Zhu Zhixue's big pussy all day long, so how could he care about this!

Li Zhuangsheng calmed himself down. He was not the same person he was before. Even if Grandma Lin Yuehua needed money for treatment, he would have a way to get the money. No problem. Even if a butterfly effect was triggered again, he would not be so powerless anymore!
After the morning reading get out of class, Li Zhuangsheng asked his class teacher for Lin Yuehua's home phone number, and then hurried to the phone booth.

It's okay, it's probably just a common cold. But Li Zhuangsheng was still a little worried. Especially Lin Yuehua's abnormal behavior last night, which increased his worries.

"Hello? Who is this?"

The call was connected, and an old and somewhat doubtful voice came from the other end.

As soon as he heard the voice, Li Zhuangsheng felt relieved. Since it was Grandma Lin who answered the call, Lin Yuehua should be fine.

"Excuse me, are you Lin Yuehua's parent?" Li Zhuangsheng coughed and asked seriously.

"Yes, yes, it's me. I'm her grandmother."

"Oh, I'm today's duty monitor. It seems that classmate Lin Yuehua didn't come to school today. Is there something wrong?"

"Oh, it's a classmate!" Grandma Lin seemed relieved. "She's fine. She just feels a little uncomfortable today. She's resting at home. Thank you for your concern!"

"So that's the case. Okay, okay, I got it. Then let her have a good rest at home." Li Zhuangsheng relaxed his brows and hung up the phone with peace of mind.

What I mean is, you just don't feel well, why worry so much? Don't be too panic.

Li Zhuangsheng laughed at himself and then swaggered back to the classroom.

However, as soon as he entered the classroom, he saw a figure sitting next to Lin Yuehua's seat.

Aren't you feeling unwell? Why are you here so soon? Li Zhuangsheng looked closely and found that it was Zhu Zhixue.

"Zhu Zhixue, why are you sitting here..."

"She asked for leave today, so let me sit here for a while!" Zhu Zhixue said, "I can't see the blackboard clearly from the back!"

Li Zhuangsheng looked a little strange, but he couldn't say much.

Zhu Zhixue bit her lip lightly and gave a stiff and tentative smile: "If you don't want me to sit here, then I... leave?"

"No need, just sit down if you want, it's not my seat." Li Zhuangsheng lowered his eyes and took out the breakfast that Hu Mengdie brought today, "Here, do you want to eat it?"

"I eat!"

Zhu Zhixue took it, unpacked the bag, and stuffed it into her mouth in big gulps.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Li Zhuangsheng reminded.

Zhu Zhixue turned a deaf ear to him, as if she was eating out of revenge, and regardless of her boast of losing weight, she ate even more voraciously than Lin Yuehua did in the past.

Lin Yuehua is not here today, so she can sit in this seat and eat breakfast now. Because Lin Yuehua is not here today. If she were here, she would not have this opportunity.

Picking up a few leftovers made her so happy. Zhu Zhixue was not paying attention and tears fell. "Why are you crying? Are you choking?" Li Zhuangsheng saw this and patted Zhu Zhixue on the back.

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Zhu Zhixue swallowed the food in her mouth with difficulty and smiled at Li Zhuangsheng again.

Zhu Zhixue sat in Lin Yuehua's seat all morning. The teachers took a look but didn't ask any questions. Only the English teacher asked why Lin Yuehua was not there, but when he learned that she had asked for leave, he didn't care.

At noon, Li Zhuangsheng asked Zhu Zhixue to have lunch together, but she said she wanted to lose weight and stayed in the classroom.

Before the afternoon class, Li Zhuangsheng returned to the classroom and was surprised to find that Lin Yuehua had arrived.

She seemed to have just arrived and stood quietly in front of her seat, staring at Zhu Zhixue.

"This is my seat." Lin Yuehua said.

"Oh, can't I just sit for a while?" Zhu Zhixue pursed her lips, feeling unreasonable but confident.

"But I'm here." Lin Yuehua said calmly, "Get up."

Zhu Zhixue clenched her fists: "I'm just going to sit for a while, what's your attitude?"

Lin Yuehua frowned slightly, as if she couldn't understand why Zhu Zhixue suddenly occupied her seat. She gently grabbed Lin Yuehua's sleeve and said, "I don't have an attitude, but this is my seat, you have to give it back to me."

Li Zhuangsheng walked up to the two of them and suddenly felt an inexplicable stomachache.

Zhu Zhixue sat firmly on Lin Yuehua's chair, turned her head, and looked at Li Zhuangsheng beside her with a fixed gaze, as if asking about his attitude.

"This, must be Lin Yuehua's seat..." Li Zhuangsheng scratched his head.

Zhu Zhixue lowered her head silently, then stood up quietly, gave up her seat silently and cooperatively, and returned to her seat without raising her head.

"Well, I'm going to the store. Let's go together. I'll buy you a bottle of water!" Li Zhuangsheng felt inexplicably guilty and immediately ran to Zhu Zhixue, trying to ease the rift that seemed non-existent.

"It's okay, I don't need it."

Zhu Zhixue raised her head and forced a smile, then lowered her head and pretended to read a book.

Li Zhuangsheng had no choice but to return to his seat helplessly, and his good mood when he saw Lin Yuehua returning to school disappeared.

"You're back. Are you recovered?" Li Zhuangsheng asked.

"I'm fine." Lin Yuehua shook her head.

"Happy birthday." Li Zhuangsheng said, "I know you don't want to celebrate your birthday, but at least let me wish you a happy birthday."

"...Who are you talking to?"

Lin Yuehua looked at Li Zhuangsheng's face and suddenly narrowed her eyes with a hint of fierce anger in her eyes.

Li Zhuangsheng blinked, and it took him a while to react: "You, you."

Lin Yuehua asked back: "Me?"

"Who else would it be?"

"Oh, it's me."

Lin Yuehua slowly lowered her head and curled the corners of her mouth silently, making it impossible to figure out her tone and mood at the moment.

It's really strange, what's wrong with her? Li Zhuangsheng recalled what he had just said and felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Instead, it was Lin Yuehua's problem, which was really strange.

Isn't it always just the two of them?
