C165 (1/2)
The time for the second round was set to be one week later. The instructor would still allow Chu Yu who had been promoted to the second round to bring Chen Yan to the academy for their pre-competition training.
When they arrived at the meeting room, Chu Yu had just put down his tools when the instructor came over.
”Let's begin …” The instructor put down what he was holding and turned to wipe the writing off the blackboard, the one they had left behind at their last meeting.
”Where's Chen Yan?” Chu Yu looked at the direction of the door and asked puzzledly.
He and Chen Yan had advanced together, and the instructor would never just send a notice to her alone. However, after leaving the guild for more than ten minutes, there was still no sign of him.
”Oh, Chen Yan called me last night to request a leave of absence. I don't think he'll be here this week.” The instructor said as he wiped off the books on the board and pushed his glasses up lightly. He picked up a piece of chalk and turned around to write down the topic of today's training on the blackboard.
Although pre-match training was very important, it was merely a few insignificant lessons for Chen Yan. His starting point was high, so it couldn't be counted as a training course. He was also better than the other competitors. Moreover, he still had a year of personal experience to participate in the competition, so he didn't feel worried about taking a week off from the instructor.
Besides, Chen Yan's father was the dean of the academy, and everyone was well aware of this fact. Naturally, the instructor would not interfere in this matter.
On the contrary, Chu Yu was a little worried. Chen Yan was participating in the provincial design competition for the second year, so he would definitely view this matter more importantly than anything else. But now he wasn't even going to participate in the training anymore. Just what was so important about him?
The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. It wasn't easy for her to finish her training class, so as soon as the instructor left the classroom, she took out her cell phone and dialed Chen Yan's number.
The cell phone number that he had previously requested for him to save was now of use.
However, the other side had been busy with sound waves, so after a few calls, he confirmed that no one was listening. Chu Yu could only give up, packed his things, and walked out of the conference room.
Time flew by quickly, and after school, Chu Yu had not seen Chen Yan again for an entire week. Even when she was usually at the academy, she had intentionally gone to the window of the class across the corridor to take a look, but she hadn't seen Chen Yan.
After two days of connection, she stopped dialing. She didn't know why, but she had a bad feeling about this.
If it was a normal day, he would definitely call back when he saw his missed call, right?
On the last day of training, after class ended, it was already past 8 PM. The instructor had specifically told Chu Yu about the unintelligible knowledge points several times, and finally warned her about the things he would need to pay attention to before leaving.
Chu Yu packed his stuff and turned off the light, then closed the door to the conference room and carried the materials out of the building.
The night in the academy was extremely quiet. Chu Yu's shadow was dragged long by the lamps on both sides of the road. She lowered her head to look at the ground and was extremely nervous and uneasy about the competition that would take place the day after tomorrow.
Chen Yan had been missing for over a week. Would he come to the tournament the day after tomorrow?
Chu Yu took out his phone to take a look uneasily, but there was no news at all.
Ye Zichen sighed, and just as he was about to put his phone back into his pocket, a familiar voice sounded out from behind him.
”Chu Yu...”
