On the first day of school, Zhuge Mingshan was already a bit downcast because things at home were getting worse.
Even worse, the issues couldn't be contained internally anymore and started to spread. Some friends, who she used to be close with but had drifted apart, now ignored her completely.
Zhuge Mingshan knew she didn't have deep feelings for them anyway, but the thought of not being able to join their circle anymore, let alone becoming the center of attention, left her in a bad mood.
Before Zhuge Mingshan could even mourn her sense of loss, she heard some news that struck her even harder.
"Did you hear that Gong Ruini and Zhao Guangran didn't report in?"
"Huh, what happened?"
"How could they not have reported in?"
"Exactly, maybe something kept them from coming today."
