Shi Weiwei was very surprised when she heard Xuan's phone ring and found it beside her. She picked it up and found that their order was here. She assumed that Xuan had probably gone to the washroom or back to the basement as she went to collect the order with Su Shaoyan and Mo Kio.
And she of course forgot all about Xuan once the food was there and they all dug in. But half-way through the meal, Weiwei frowned as she looked around.
"Say. . . Where's Xuan?" Shi Weiwei spoke up, drawing everyone's attention. It was then that everyone realized that Ying Xuan indeed wasn't in the room. They all started to look around and ask each other about Xuan.
Weiwei was the one to get the most worried, losing her appetite and going to search the dorm. Lu Zuan of course knew where Xuan was, but instead of telling everyone, she quietly said to Mo Kio, "Text Jingyu and ask if she's with him."
As Mo Kio messaged Wei Jingyu, Su Shaoyan caused a ruckus as he ran to the basement to check Xuan's fashion studio.
Wei Jingyu picked up his phone seeing a text notification, his smile faded seeing it was from Kio. He furrowed his brows upon seeing the content of the text, 'Is Xuan with you?'
Jingyu immediately got worried as he replied, 'No she isn't. What happened?'
'Dunno. She's nowhere to be found. Left her phone back at the room.' Kio's reply came instantly and Wei Jingyu remembered and regretted his actions. He had ignored Xuan's messages, and now who knew where she was.
Wei Jingyu hurriedly got up and rushed out into the cold night towards the girls' dorms, not even remembering to put on a jacket.
There was complete chaos in the girls' dorms as all of Xuan's friends searched for her. Ironically, no one thought to check the roof as it was a cold night and no one ever really went there. "I wonder where she could have gone." Shaoyan mumbled worriedly, biting his nails, as they all assembled back in Xuan's room.
"Maybe she went to see Jingyu?" Shi Weiwei frowned. Mo Kio joined in, "She didn't. I already asked her about it."
"There she is!!!" Someone suddenly exclaimed and everyone's attention turned towards the door, where Xuan stood in the doorway. "Are you all idiots?!" Su Shaoyan exclaimed, "That isn't Xuan. She's wearing different clothes."
It was then that everybody noticed that indeed the person at the door was not Ying Xuan but Ying Xi, who spoke, "Xuan stirred up some new trouble? Can't say I am surprised." Xi entered in the room and plopped on her bed, as everyone cleared her side of the room and clustered into Xuan's half.
"Let's go to my room." Shi Weiwei said and walked out of the door,not even sparing Ying Xi a glance. Just as she walked into the halfway, Weiwei bumped into a running Wei Jingyu, who steadied her and asked, "Did you find her?"
Weiwei shook her head and Jingyu groaned. He looked at everyone filing out of Xuan's room and he frowned as his eyes fell on Lu Zuan. "Where is she?" Jingyu walked upto her and asked in his deep voice. "And whatever will you do with that information?" Zuan asked, crossing her arms.
