Chapter 113 - Are You Xu Youyou?

“The door seemed to be jammed. I’ll call someone to open it,” Teacher Kang said before bringing out his phone. After a moment, he said, “Why is there no signal? There was still signal before this…”

Xu Youyou, who was curled up in her sleeping bag, raised her hand and covered her lips as she coughed again. A contemplative expression could be seen on her face at this moment. After that, she brought her phone out to check for signal as well. Indeed, there was suddenly no mobile coverage in the room. Strangely, she could not even connect to the Wi-Fi. She looked around and discovered there was no phone in the room as well. This meant that she and Teacher Kang were trapped in the room.

Teacher Kang turned to look at the listless Xu Youyou and said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. The others will look for us when they notice we’re missing…”

Xu Youyou hummed faintly and lowered her gaze. She thought to herself, “No, even if they’re looking for you, they won’t come to my room. After tonight, we’ll definitely be labeled as scums…’

Teacher Kang tried to knock on the door and called out loudly, hoping that someone passing by might hear them. Alas, he called out until his voice was hoarse, but there was still no response.

Xu Youyou raised her hands to rub her temples as she said in a hoarse voice, “Teacher Kang, it’s useless. Why don’t you sit down and rest for a while.”

Teacher Kang turned around with a defeated expression on his face. He walked to the chair and sat down at the table before he poured herself a glass of water.

Xu Youyou forced herself to sit up. She looked at the teacher she respected before she said, enduring the pain in her throat, “Teacher Kang, I heard you have a fiancee.”

Teacher Kang stopped drinking from the glass of water in his hand and said with a nod, “She’s a dance teacher.”

Xu Youyou pursed her lips before she said, “What a coincidence. I have a friend who studies dancing as well…”

‘Well, let’s just say it’s a friend for now…’

Teacher Kang smiled. “Is that so? Although there are many dance studios in Mo City, I wonder if your friend is one of my fiancee’s students.”

“Maybe…” Xu Youyou replied before she coughed again.

Teacher Kang frowned. He wanted to move to the bedside, but after a moment, he dismissed the idea. Instead, he only said, “You’re not feeling well so quickly lie down and rest.”

Xu Youyou nodded sluggishly before she lay on the bed. She looked at him and said, “Teacher Kang, you’re a very good teacher.”

“Thank you.”

Xu Youyou’s eyelids continued to drop. After taking the medicine, she felt very sleepy. In less than five minutes, she fell asleep.

…

The next day.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Xu Youyou was woken up by the rude knocking on her door. It was violent and forceful. She had just opened her eyes when the door was kicked open.

A group of people rushed in, crowding the small room. They looked at Xu Youyou with disdain and contempt.

An elegant woman dressed in a royal blue coat walked in. Her face was exquisite, and her long hair fell softly over her shoulders. Another person stood behind her, and Xu Youyou recognized the other person. It was none other than Lin Zhihuan.

The blue-clad woman stared at Xu Youyou with a calm expression, but her dark eyes had already revealed her anger. She asked, “Are you Xu Youyou?”

Xu Youyou sat up. She did not remove her sweater when she slept yesterday, but it was still cold. She put on the down jacket next to her when she coughed due to the itch in her throat. When she stopped coughing, she nodded and said slowly, “I’m Xu Youyou. You are…”

The woman sneered and said through gritted teeth, “Shameless! Where’s Kang Mingcheng?”

Kang Mingcheng was Teacher Kang.
