"I'm telling you, couples should be all sweet and cuddly with each other all day long. Don't care whether it's awkward or not. If you miss him, just call him up and ask where he is." Qin Yiyi whispered to Tang Youran, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Even ordinary friends should show concern if someone doesn't come to school."
"Um… alright…" Tang Youran hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded.
"Go for it." Qin Yiyi made an encouraging gesture towards Tang Youran.
Tang Youran took a deep breath and, as the class teacher, Mr. Zhao, walked by, she raised her hand and said softly, "Teacher, can I… go to the restroom?"
"Ah?" Mr. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
"Thank you, teacher." Tang Youran said with blushing cheeks and then, gripping her phone tightly, she scurried out of the classroom.
The hallway outside was empty, with only the sounds of reading from the various classrooms echoing through it.
