I've been absent-minded these past few days, and I also want to know who that person is that Shen Qianjin mentioned.

Many times, I wanted to ask Shen Qianjin, but then I thought it would be better not to know. Knowing might make me even more unhappy.

So, it's good to accompany her as a friend.

...

During this period, I couldn't see Shen Qianjin at all, neither at home nor at school.

When she left, Shen Qianjin only told me on WeChat that she went back to her hometown.

Shen Qianjin's time at school became shorter, and sometimes I couldn't see her even twice a week. Even when I daydreamed in class, there was no one beside me to remind me, "Pay attention, silly!"

When I opened the WeChat chat box between me and Shen Qianjin, I realized that she hadn't replied to the message I sent her three days ago...

Shen Qianjin, why aren't you replying to my messages?!

I typed many things I wanted to say in the chat box, but in the end, I deleted and condensed it to just one sentence: "Why haven't you been coming to school recently? [Sad face]"

After about half an hour, Shen Qianjin replied: "Something happened at home recently."

Me: "What happened?"

Shen Qianjin: "It's just a small matter. I'll be back to school soon."

I stared at our chat box for a long time. What happened that she can't even tell me?

I deleted and condensed the words in the chat box, and finally, I just replied with "Oh!"

...

But Shen Qianjin didn't deceive me. The next day, she came to find me like usual, quietly looking at me.

By this time, winter was approaching, and she was wrapped in a black cotton coat, wearing light-colored lipstick. She looked even thinner...

I stared at her and jokingly said, "Shen Qianjin, something's not right with you!"

Shen Qianjin tilted her head and said, "What? Can't recognize me after a few days?"

Um... I guess... a little bit...
