"We're back." 007's voice came from the hallway.
Their voices reached the room before they did.
Gu Mian and the others had no choice but to pause their conversation.
Although Li Yibai seemed eager to ask Yuan Qinghua what exactly was wrong with the ballot, he held his tongue as Yuan Qinghua and Guo Jimei had already reached the corridor.
The first to step into the classroom was 007. Holding her plastic bag, she looked at the huddled group of Gu Mian and the others and asked with a hint of perplexity, "What are you guys discussing?"
Li Yibai opened his mouth as if he wanted to share his recent observations with his childhood friend, only to close it again, "Nothing much."
By this time, Yuan Qinghua and Guo Jimei had reached the doorway. A considerable distance separated the two of them, and Yue Nu was also there.
Guo Jimei pulled Yue Nu close to her side, distancing her from Yuan Qinghua.
