Liu Zhizhong never expected that Ma Qingqing had already been absent from school for over half a month.
At that time, she had requested leave from school claiming she was feeling unwell and needed to get checked out at the best hospital in the country, then she would take a trip to relax. Naturally, given her excellent academic performance and seeming genuine health concerns, the school agreed.
But time had quickly passed, and both classmates and counselors were unable to reach her. Her phone was off, and she was not replying to messages on WeChat. Nobody knew what had happened.
Initially, when the counselor reached out to her, she was indeed hospitalized in a top hospital in the Capital. Everyone didn't pay much attention, thinking she would return to school after being discharged and perhaps her condition made her reluctant to discuss more, so they didn't disturb her.
Today, when Liu Zhizhong came knocking, everyone remembered Ma Qingqing's situation.
