"Don't be afraid, I'm Li Yan!" He quickly stated his identity before Xiao Xun could convince Xiao Ai to hang up.
"Li Yan? Ah, you're Mr. Li. Is there anything I can help you with?" It was clear that Xiao Ai's attitude changed after knowing his identity, and her voice lowered a bit, likely not wanting other roommates to hear.
"I wanted to ask about Xiao Di's situation. Did she attend school this week?" Li Yan inquired straightforwardly.
Ling Wua hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "She took leave this week, but she hasn't returned. I don't know what's going on. None of us have seen her, and her phone can't be reached. You can't contact her either?"
Li Yan frowned. If it were Xiao Xun, she might mischievously give an opposite answer or help Xiao Di lie, but due to vested interests, Ling Wua wouldn't, nor dare to deceive him, so he believed Xiao Di truly took leave. Moreover, it's likely Chen Mingying called in the leave; she hasn't been to school at all!
