I tidied up the books on the table and followed suit, hastily eager to know the outcome of Zhang Qingyu's trip. If he could retrieve the doll and burn it, everything would be all right. If not, we would have to figure out how to deal with the situation, after all, it was my oversight that had caused this.
If I had insisted on burning the doll myself, it wouldn't have ended up being taken by Qu Guo.
As I mulled this over, I quickened my pace and, upon entering the dormitory building, immediately saw Zhang Qingyu, who was shaking his head in displeasure.
"What's up? He didn't want to give the doll back to you?"
"No, that's not it. He wasn't in his dorm; I have no idea where he went, probably hasn't come back yet."
"I'm guessing he hasn't returned. You raced over here as soon as school ended, maybe Qu Guo is rushing back right now. Let's wait in front of the dorm building for a bit."
