Teacher Zhou took a sip of tea from her cup with an indifferent look, then smiled and said to Liu Yuanyuan, "You are all my students. Although I am not your homeroom teacher, I am your subject teacher after all. I still have the responsibility to care about your studies and life.

The most important thing is that your personal strength is the only thing that matters. You don't have to worry about me. Okay, let's go eat. I guess the student cafeteria is out of food right now. Let's go to the faculty cafeteria. You can take my meal card."

Liu Yuanyuan quickly waved her hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Teacher Zhou, but forget it. The money in your meal card may not be enough for me to eat. I won't go to the student cafeteria. I'll go to the independent cafeteria."

Although the dishes are a bit expensive, they are all delicious stir-fries. Teacher, are you leaving? How about I treat you to a meal?

Zhou Min quickly waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I brought my own lunch today, otherwise I wouldn't give you my meal card."

After leaving Zhou Min's office, Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but sigh: "I really envy Class 3. Zhou Min is their homeroom teacher. It would be great if Zhou Min could be their homeroom teacher." But she probably didn't have the chance.

Liu Yuanyuan returned to the classroom to get her meal card to eat, but found that Fan Sien was still waiting for her in the classroom.

She asked Liu Yuanyuan with a rare emotional outburst: "How is it? Have you found Wang Mengmeng over there?" Liu Yuanyuan was called away by the teacher just after class, and she didn't have time to ask.

Liu Yuanyuan took out her phone from her schoolbag and looked at the message on it. Bian Xiaohui hadn't replied to any of her messages yet, so she shook her head and said, "Xiaohui hasn't sent me a message yet. I'm afraid she hasn't found it yet. After all, our place is so big, it's impossible to find it right away."

"Did her parents call the police?" Fan Sien continued to ask.

Liu Yuanyuan shook her head helplessly again: "I don't know, after all, I don't have his parents' contact information. But Teacher Zhou has already called the police for Wang Mengmeng. Our class teacher took a leave of absence this afternoon, and I'm afraid he's out looking for Wang Mengmeng."

When Fan Si'en heard this answer, he couldn't help but sigh along with her: "What bad luck! How could we have such a homeroom teacher? I hope I can go to Teacher Zhou's class when the class division comes."

Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask, "So you plan to study science after your second year of high school?"

Fan Sien nodded.

Liu Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Then work hard and study hard. You'll have a chance. He will definitely be Puli's homeroom teacher in the future, but I don't have the chance anymore."

As she said this, Liu Yuanyuan shook her head with some regret.

Fan Sien was a little surprised: "I see that you are good at science. Don't you plan to apply for a regular science class? Do you want to study liberal arts?"

Liu Yuanyuan smiled slightly. "I have some understanding of my own abilities. Math and physics are getting harder and harder. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up, so I plan to pursue a special talents program."

Fan Sien looked at Liu Yuanyuan in surprise, but didn't say anything more.

The afternoon classes were spent in waiting and agony.

It was not until just before evening self-study that Liu Yuanyuan received Bian Xiaohui's text message.

Just three simple words: Found it.

Liu Yuanyuan looked at the text message, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled slightly.

She told Fan Sien the good news, and Fan Sien finally felt relieved.

It's just that the two of them were worried about how this matter would be handled.

While the two were guessing, Liu Yuanyuan's phone suddenly vibrated and an unfamiliar number called.

Liu Yuanyuan didn't dare to ignore it, and hurriedly took the phone to the bathroom to answer it.

A strange middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone: "Hello, is this Liu Yuanyuan?"

Liu Yuanyuan was a little surprised, but still responded: "Hello, I am. May I ask who you are?"

"Hello, I'm Wang Mengmeng's mother. Thank you for today. Thanks to you, we were able to find Mengmeng so quickly. And thank you for taking care of Mengmeng at school."

Liu Yuanyuan was a little surprised, but she felt that finding Wang Mengmeng so quickly should not have much to do with her. After all, she had already called the police, and the police were not there for nothing.

"Auntie, I didn't do anything. You should thank Bian Xiaohui. Or our homeroom teacher and our math teacher, Ms. Zhou."

Not sure if it was her own illusion, but Liu Yuanyuan felt that Wang Mengmeng's mother seemed to chuckle slightly when she mentioned the head teacher. But it disappeared in an instant, so it was a little unreal.

"Auntie knows we will definitely thank these people, but I still want to thank you especially, especially your Lieqing and that big orange cat. If they hadn't been so smart and found Mengmeng's clues, who knows how long it would have taken to find her. Especially your big orange cat, who found her first and then sneaked onto the train to stay with her the whole time."

"Ah?" Liu Yuanyuan was very surprised.

Mrs. Wang, who was standing opposite, explained, "When we found Mengmeng, she had already boarded the train. We intercepted her at Mengyin Station. After leaving the living quarters, Mengmeng's movements were largely out of the surveillance range. We had no idea where she was going. It was Lielieqing who finally followed the scent to the train station and had them retrieve the video footage, revealing Mengmeng had boarded the southbound train."

"So that's how it is. But why does Mengmeng want to go south?" Liu Yuanyuan was a little confused.

"It's all my fault. Mengmeng is the child of his father and me, who came later in life. She is more than 10 years younger than her brother. I usually dote on her, but his father and I both have careers and are often not at home, so most of the time we leave her at his grandparents' house.

Her grandparents are old and don't have much energy to take care of her. She often reads and draws at home, but her energy is dwindling, and she seems bored all day. As a result, her reaction time and learning speed are a bit slow. We always subconsciously compare her to her brother.

She felt useless and wanted to go out and make money to prove herself."

Liu Yuanyuan was speechless after hearing what Wang's mother said. If Wang Mengmeng was useless, she could just dig a hole and bury herself.

But Mother Wang seemed to have found an outlet and began to confide in Liu Yuanyuan, "We were always worried about her. We thought she had a bad personality. We thought she was hiding everything from us. Later, for a while, Mengmeng would tell some very nonsensical and unreliable lies to avoid worrying us.

Just to show that she'd tell us about bad things at school. Perhaps because of that period, we'd lost some trust in her. Then she called and said she was being bullied at school and wanted to change dorms or classes. We assumed she was under too much academic pressure and wasn't keeping up, so she started lying again.

You know Mengmeng. She's very hardworking and diligent, but she's not very flexible in her studies. She's doing okay now, but I'm worried she might fall behind in the future. But we never expected that she was actually being bullied at school.

It's our fault as parents. Thank you, Yuanyuan. If it weren't for you, Xiaohui, and that classmate named Fan Sien, I really don't know what Mengmeng would have become."
