69 Chapter 69- Locked in (1/2)
The next day, Ya Nuo showed up to class looking more attractive than usual. Girls swarmed around her like bees to flowers asking where she went for the past days. After hearing that she was sick, they offered to buy her lunch, medicine, and other things that would make her feel better.
Like always, Ya Nuo fixed her hair slightly and gave a warming smile, ”Thank you for your care, but I'm already recovered so I don't need any of the things you all offered. Here, I brought a bag of candy. You girls like sweets right? Take some.”
After the group of girls left, Ya Nuo's eyes locked in on Hen Qing because ever since she entered the room, she knew she was being glared at. After they made eye contact, Hen Qing turned her head around and took out her notebook for class. Huan Hei smiled when he saw Ya Nuo in class and took the seat next to her.
Huan Hei: ”Nuo! You're finally back!”
Ya Nuo: ”mm..”
Before lunch was gymnastics class and for each class session, two girls and two guys are chosen to clean up the gym before leaving. Today, it was Ya Nuo, Huan Hei, Hen Qing, and another girl's job to clean up.
Ya Nuo acted like her normal self, finished her tasks, and offered to help the other girl with her remaining work. The basket of volleyballs needs to be moved to a different storage room so Hen Qing suggested Ya Nuo and the other girl to do it while she and Huan Hei collects the other equipment.
Ya Nuo and that girl left as planned and Hen Qing took this opportunity to get close to Huan Hei. She knew that the equipment needed to be put back to a specific equipment room so she asked him for help in moving the last few tools to the room. Huan Hei wanted to finish the job early so he could eat, and that was the only reason why he decided to help. Plus, he would have a guilty conscience for not helping a girl who is struggling in front of him.
In the middle of class, Hen Qing hid the already prepared bottle of water in the equipment room when nobody was looking. So all there is to do now is to trap the two of them in there and when he gets thirsty, he will drink the water that she prepared.
'Everything is going as planned…. Now… let me just lock the door from outside and close the door from behind…'

Huan Hei: ”What's that sound?”
Hen Qing: ”Huh? You probably heard wrong.”
She followed him into the equipment room and let the door slam shut.
After they finished putting the tools in its original location, they turned around to leave. Huan Hei's face froze when he couldn't open the door. He continuously shook the door knob and banged on the door calling for help, but nobody came.
