On Monday morning, Xue Yuantong lingered in bed. It took several knocks from Jiang Ning before she slowly got up.
The breakfast consisted of rice porridge, large steamed buns, side dishes, and eggs.
They dragged their feet and only reached school just before the morning self-study session began.
Jiang Ning walked up to the entrance of Class 8. The classroom door was shut.
Pushing the door open, they immediately noticed an unusually tense atmosphere. Wu Xiaoqi stood at the podium, his eyes red and his expression furious.
The students of Class 8 looked baffled. What was happening?
Why another meeting during morning self-study? How many times had this happened?
The first time it was the sports committee member Zhang Chi who stood at the podium, the second time was Guo Kunnan, and now Wu Xiaoqi.
"Did any of you see my basketball?" Wu Xiaoqi questioned his classmates.
"I didn't see it."
"I went home right after school yesterday."
