In the afternoon, when Song Mei arrived at school and saw her seat cushion was wet, she immediately glared at the spot where Ye Ling usually sat behind her. However, there was no sign of Ye Ling. It turned out that Ye Ling hadn't waited for Song Mei to arrive in the afternoon; she'd gone to the office to ask for leave as soon as the teachers arrived. With both hands unable to write and it being review time, she could study at home just the same, so the teacher granted her leave directly.
Ye Ling returned to the compound with her backpack but didn't head home. She looked around to ensure no one was watching and headed toward a small warehouse by the woods. However, she didn't go through the front door of the warehouse but went around to the back. She finally stopped under the rear window of the warehouse. After looking around, she put her backpack down and then slowly moved a stone with her foot to the window. Climbing up, she was finally able to see inside through the glass window.
