Chapter 262: The Vanishing Photo 2_1
"No." He Zhilan reassured her friends with a smile, indicating that she was alright; however, her shoulders tensed up as she continued to flip through the pages of her book, not finding the item she was looking for.
"That’s so odd, where could it have gone? I clearly remember tucking it right in here!" He Zhilan looked through her book again, yet her expression shifted when she still couldn’t locate the item. She anxiously got up, scanning the floor before carefully checking her desk.
"What are you looking for?" Jiang Biyun and Chen Xiting shared puzzled glances.
"A photo! Have you guys found a group photo in the dorm? One with three boys and a girl."
"A photo? I don’t think so..." Jiang Biyun shook her head before looking in the direction of Wang Bingbing and Huang Cai, asking, "Wang Bingbing, Huang Cai, have any of you seen a photo around in the dorm?"
"Nope~" replied Huang Cai, "If we had seen it, we would have picked it up. Are you sure you didn’t mistakenly leave it somewhere else, He Zhilan?"
"No way! I had it tucked into this favorite book of mine!" He Zhilan spoke with utmost certainty, her voice quavering on the verge of tears. The photograph was the only thing she had from her childhood, and she knew she couldn’t have remembered wrongly.
"Could you have accidentally dropped it somewhere when you took it out?" Seeing He Zhilan’s expression, everyone realized the gravity of the situation. Clearly, this group photo was very important to her.
