Chapter 35 (2)
The next day, everyone gathered in the cafeteria for breakfast. They waited until almost 8:30 a.m., but Bai Chuan and Gu Xiao didn’t show up.
“What’s going on? Could it be that the two young children overslept?” the young mother asked as she looked at the empty door to the cafeteria, “Do you want to call them? The foreman said that the roll call is at 9 o’clock and we can’t be late.”
Time passed minute by minute, but the two people didn’t appear. The expressions of the veteran sleepwalkers had already sunk.
“Yes, let’s go and look at their room.” Old Yu drank all the porridge in his bowl and put down the bowl.
At 8:30 a.m., the group returned to the dormitory building and approached Room 107 where Gu Xiao and Bai Chuan lived.
The door of Room 107 was closed and a dead silence came from it.
Old Yu first knocked gently on the door. “Gu Xiao, Bai Chuan, are you inside?”
As expected, no one responded.
Old Yu knocked again. “If no one answers, we will go in.”
