Ji Xue sobbed for a while but refused to say anything. Wu Minqi and Jiang Feng stood helplessly in place, awkward in the unique way that only-children can be, exchanging glances, not daring to speak.
While Ji Yue tried to comfort Ji Xue by patting her on the shoulder, she turned and desperately tried to communicate with Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi through eye signals and lip movements, but they were too absorbed in their own awkwardness to notice the rich expressions on Ji Yue's face.
Seeing no response from them, Ji Yue had no choice but to fish her phone out of her pocket in a bizarre contortion. Using the skill she had developed in high school of playing with her phone during class, she kept her face still and her eyes moving, unlocked her phone's screen, and swiftly typed a message one-handed in WeChat.
Beauty Ji: @Jiang Feng @ Wu Minqi, go check if Ji Xia is in the bathroom.
Beauty Ji: She's been gone a long time without a sign.
