"Good morning, class. I apologize for being late for a minute," he exclaimed, leaning forward on his desk as he rested both of his hands on it. "I had to escort a student at the nurse's office since she was not feeling well this morning."
With that said, the students nodded and the others found it weird that someone would suddenly feel sick this morning. It was something rare to see and hear in college—but common to hear in elementary and high school.
However, the students just shoved it aside, already focusing in class.
Zhang Ren looked at Shi Lian.
"Do you think that she's really in the infirmary?"
"No," Shi Lian whispered back, "I think it's just an alibi—it's appropriate this way, rather than both of them being seen entering the class together. It would make their disappearance more suspicious."
