As the class bell rang, the teacher had barely stepped out of the dormitory when a number of students gathered around Ning Wangshu.
"Ning Wangshu, what's going on with you? The semester's already been underway for two months, and you've only just made it to school. We thought you'd dropped out!"
"Yeah, did something happen? Do you need our help?"
Hearing their concerned questions, Ning Wangshu smiled faintly and replied, "Something came up before, so I couldn't get back to school. But it's all taken care of now. Thanks for asking."
"That's good, then..."
Some of the students breathed a sigh of relief.
After chatting briefly with them, Ning Wangshu soon made an excuse and left with Ma Junfan and Liu Qi.
Before he even made it back to the dormitory, Ning Wangshu received a call from Gu Ziyu.
Seeing that it was Gu Ziyu, Ning Wangshu had a good idea why she was calling. He said to Ma Junfan and Liu Qi beside him, "Lao Ma, could you take my textbooks back to the dorm for me? I might have something to do in a bit."
"Oh, sure!"
Ma Junfan answered and quickly took Ning Wangshu's textbooks.
Ning Wangshu then stepped aside. Once he'd answered the call, he said, "Lieutenant Colonel Gu, you're calling about getting my ID and badge back, right?"
Gu Ziyu's voice came through immediately. "Yes. Mr. Ning... I mean, Ning Xian Zun, are you free right now? I'm almost at your school."
"Sure. Please wait for me at the school gate. I just finished class, so I'll head over now."
Ning Wangshu replied casually.
"All right!"
Gu Ziyu answered without saying anything more, then quickly hung up.
A short while later, Ning Wangshu reached the school gate and saw Gu Ziyu waiting there.
As soon
