Li Lu hadn't received a call from Gu Xiaonuan for several days now. It took her tremendous effort to persuade Shu Yu to agree to her taking a leave of absence from school.
After losing to Gu Xiaonuan, Li Lu was the real loser. She couldn't believe how badly she had lost, and it was all her own fault.
Li Lu made several calls in a row, only to find that Gu Xiaonuan was not answering.
"Could something have happened?"
Li Lu looked at her phone in surprise. Gu Xiaonuan wouldn't have already left Sea City, would she?
If she left Sea City, shouldn't they have notified her in advance?
Li Lu practically begged Shu Yu to help her get the leave of absence; otherwise, with how much those old fuddy-duddies at the school disliked Li Lu, it wouldn't have been easy for such a problematic student to request time off.
Shu Yu had no choice. Gu Xiaonuan's condition meant she would have to take leave soon, even if not right now. Shu Yu was even more worried about Li Lu attending class alone.
