The matter of the small bear kept Song Song up most of the night, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen it!
Later she realized that these bear keychains are quite common, so it seemed normal to find it familiar—
After class the next day, Song Song walked out of the school gates with Yuan Yumeng, glanced around, but didn't see Huo Junting's car, "Huh! Brother didn't come to pick me up today, and he didn't mention anything when I left this morning!"
Yuan Yumeng seemed a bit thoughtful, "… Maybe your brother is busy!"
"Oh, that's possible too."
Song Song took out her phone, and sure enough, there was a text message from Huo Junting, saying: Song Song, I have something to do today, so I won't be picking you up. Be safe on your way home.
"He's busy, indeed—"
"Yumeng, where's your sister?"
Yuan Yumeng seemed a bit dazed, "Oh, she said she's not feeling well today, so she took a leave and didn't come to class."
