On Friday, Jiang Yao left in a hurry and asked Wen Xuehui to apply for leave. She didn't say how long she would take and didn't return to the dormitory after that. She couldn't even get through to her phone. Wen Xuehui had been worried sick for the past few days.
When she finally received Jiang Yao's call, Wen Xuehui was discussing with Principal Wen whether to call the police.
"You still know how to call me? How many days has it been? I can't get through to you. If you were kidnapped, your body would probably be dead by now!"
The moment she picked up Jiang Yao's call, Wen Xuehui was so angry that she scolded her.
"Your pet is better than you. Tell me, why are you so good at running with your thin arms and legs?" Wen Xuehui said fiercely. "I should break your legs and let you run around!"
"I went to Rong County to be a volunteer. There was a power outage there, and there was no signal on my phone. I'm sorry to have worried you. If something like this happens again, I'll tell you in advance so that you won't worry." Jiang Yao quickly explained where she had been the past few days.
"Volunteer?" Wen Xuehui was stunned. She really did not expect Jiang Yao to go to Rong County. She continued, "Then you know that the soldier was found and saved, right? The radio said that the soldier's life was not in danger and that he was only slightly injured. Is that true?"
"It's true, it's true. The soldier is fine." Jiang Yao knew that the girl in the dormitory must have been paying attention to this. Otherwise, Wen Xuehui would not have asked her.
Upon hearing Jiang Yao's words, Wen Xuehui heaved a sigh of relief. "It's really the blessing of Buddha!"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips. She was not Bodhisattva.
"When are you going back to school?"
