"I remember..." I struggled to search my memory, and I dialed Su Yuqian's phone number on my mobile, making sure it was correct. I pressed the call button, but after a few seconds, I heard the message "The number you have dialed is out of service..."

"No way!?" I was sure it was correct, so why did I receive this message? I tried a few more times, but got the same response.

"Yujie gege... Are you still asleep?" Feiya knocked on the door. I looked at the time and realized it was already 7:30. Although I was anxious, there was nothing I could do. Being late for school was not good, so I had to give up and changed into my uniform before leaving the bedroom.

"Yujie gege?" Feiya, who had already put on her school uniform and backpack, tilted her head and looked at me. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

"No..." Feiya shook her head. "Then what is it?"

"Yujie gege overslept today, which is rare."

"I didn't oversleep... It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Yujie... Feiya will be late for school if we don't leave soon."

I was about to answer Feiya's question, but my mother interrupted me. "Oh... I understand. Hurry up, Yujie gege... Feiya is waiting in the living room."

After my mother's words, Feiya went to the living room, and I went to the washroom. After absentmindedly washing up, it was already 7:40, and I had no time to waste. I grabbed a piece of bread from the dining table, put on my backpack, and quickly ran to the entrance. "Feiya, I'm going out..."

"Oh... okay..." Feiya answered, and walked to the entrance.

I put on my shoes and glanced at Feiya. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah... I'm ready, Yujie gege."

"Then let's hurry... We can't be late, so we have to run..."

"Okay!" Feiya nodded.

I opened the door, and the two of us rushed out...

"Yujie... Even if you are in a hurry to go to school, can't you be a bit gentler to the door?" I heard my mother complaining from behind. But I couldn't care about that anymore, and ate and ran at the fastest speed.

"Yujie gege..." I looked back and saw Feiya seemed unable to run anymore, so I slowed down and waited for her.

"Yujie gege... Feiya can't run... You should go to school by yourself first. After all, Yujie gege's school is farther than Feiya's," Feiya said.

Hearing Feiya's words, I changed running to walking. "What's wrong?" Feiya looked puzzled by my behavior.

"Never mind... Being a bit late once in a while is also a unique experience."

"Is that so?" Feiya said softly with her head down.

"By the way, there's something I'm concerned about..."

"Yujie gege... What is it?"

"This morning, I found that there was no information about Su Yuqian on my phone, and when I called her, it said the number was out of service... I don't know what's going on," I said, troubled.

"Yujie gege..."

"Yeah?"

"Who is Su Yuqian? Is she your friend?"

"Huh? You don't know Su Yuqian?" I said in surprise.

"Feiya... Feiya has never seen her, nor heard of this name. Of course, Feiya doesn't know her..."

"Are you joking, Feiya... Didn't I introduce her to you a while ago? And Mother was present too. She came to our house as a guest."

"Really?" Feiya looked confused.

"Feiya... If you don't tell the truth, I will punish you by not allowing you to watch TV dramas..."

I played my trump card.

"No... No, Feiya absolutely can't miss watching TV dramas," Feiya said, almost crying.

"Then tell me the truth..."

"Feiya really doesn't know Su Yuqian... I have never met her. Why does Yujie gege have to make it difficult for Feiya?"

Feiya said with a grievance.

"Really don't know?"

"I don't know..." Seeing Feiya's completely sincere expression, I had no choice but to stop asking. I walked Feiya to the entrance of her school, and only went to my own school after seeing her enter. But when I arrived at the school gate, it was closed. I had to climb over the wall to get in.

"Youjie, you're late today?" It was a relatively lenient homeroom teacher today.

"I'm sorry..." I apologized with a bow.

"It's okay, just don't let it happen again. Hurry back to your seat, class is about to start."

I returned to my seat and took out my textbook from my bag. I wanted to make sure Su Yuqian was present, so I glanced at her seat. But the person sitting there was not Su Yuqian, it was another girl.

"This can't be real..." I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Did Su Yuqian disappear, or is it April Fool's Day? Just as I was feeling confused and puzzled...

"Oh no... I forgot... we have a transfer student today. Come in, Zhiye."

"Zhiye?" I widened my eyes and looked at the person outside the door. She had waist-length, jet-black hair and was wearing the school uniform. She was a perfect beauty in every way, not to mention she had a mature or cool aura. Although it wasn't my first time seeing her, I strangely felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
