Chapter 49: Caused Trouble Again
Zhao Meimei visited the first high school for the first time. Everything looked new to her, and people wearing the same school uniform as her Brother Yangyang were walking out in groups. Zhao Meimei cheerfully followed Peng Hui inside.
Peng Hui, who was familiar with the school, led Zhao Meimei to the senior year classrooms and eagerly pointed the way for her: "My sister is in class five. Your brother is in class one, the third classroom on the left."
Zhao Meimei quickly ran over with her backpack. She truly missed Shi Yang.
The last time Zhao Meimei saw her Brother Yangyang was on New Year’s Eve. Shi Yang had come over with his mom to have a reunion dinner together. The next day at noon, Shi Yang packed his backpack and clean clothes and rushed back to his teacher’s house.
Zhao Meimei couldn’t bear to see Shi Yang leave then, hugging his neck stubbornly without letting go. Shi Yang coaxed and persuaded her, and she cried loudly. That day, Shi Yang left with red eyes, feeling just as reluctant.
Zhao Meimei leaned at the door of class one, craning her neck to look inside. Many students were sitting in their seats, either eating or reading, creating a tense and dull atmosphere—quieter even than during self-study sessions under teacher supervision in Zhao Meimei’s class.
Zhao Meimei searched around but didn’t spot Shi Yang. She pursed her lips in disappointment but didn’t shy away. She asked the ponytailed girl sitting in the first row, "Sister, my brother is Shi Yang. I’m looking for him. Do you know where he went?"
Someone in the class had already noticed her, and now hearing her mention her family, before the girl she asked could respond, a pretty girl standing nearby got up and approached Zhao Meimei, wearing an amiable expression and smiling as she asked, "Who are you looking for, little sister?"
Zhao Meimei squinted her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the girl with sharp features and big eyes. She crisply replied, "Hello sister, I’m Shi Yang’s sister, I’m here to find him."
"Shi Yang!" When the girl heard she was Shi Yang’s sister, she became even more enthusiastic and offered, "He probably went out to buy lunch. How about you sit in the class and wait for him?"
