383 Lin Xiao Disappeared
The scoreboard was also announced on the big screen in the middle of the venue.
First place: Ruoshui University, second place: Capital University.
“Looks like the situation this year is really the same as last year. The two sides in the finals are still Ruoshui University versus Capital University.”
The host walked out from backstage again. He raised his head and stuck out his chest as he raised the microphone. “Last year, Capital University won first place by a slight margin. I wonder if Ruoshui University will win the championship this year or if Capital University will continue to win. Let’s take a half-hour break and look forward to the final segment together.”
Just as everyone was rejoicing that even if the chemistry team lost and could still stabilize their position as second place, no one realized that the pillar of the mathematics team, Lin Xiao, had already disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Some students are still debating the type of questions for this year’s finals, fantasizing that Lin Xiao will defeat Ruo Ting on stage again and add another crown to Capital University. But the reality is often the opposite of what people think.
The intermission time passed quickly. As mathematics was the last event of the competition, the other students began to prepare to go on stage.
Before mathematics, what people were most concerned about was the competition of the chemistry team. This was because the members of the chemistry team had already lost to their opponents in the semi-finals. If they could not make up for their mistakes in the finals, the gap between Capital University and Ruoshui University would widen until they could not catch up.
Winning and losing in all the previous subjects were planned. When it was time for chemistry, Luo Xing slowly stood up and took a few deep breaths. After all, the pressure on him could be imagined in front of everyone.
Moreover, as the leader of the National Chemistry Team of the Capital University, Luo Xing could only win this competition. He was not only carrying the hope of the entire chemistry team, but also the hope of all the students of the Capital University.
At this moment, the sharp Shan Yue realized that something was wrong. During the semi-finals, Lin Xiao said that he was not feeling well and went out. Half an hour of intermission had passed. Now, the finals are starting one after another. Almost an hour had passed, but Lin Xiao was still nowhere to be seen.
She immediately had a bad feeling. She patted the person beside her and asked, “Student, have you seen Senior Lin Xiao just now? I have something to ask him.”
The classmate shook his head. “I didn’t see Senior Lin either, but you don’t have to worry. He must have something else to deal with first. It’s the Mathematics team’s turn to compete in a while. Senior will definitely come back before the competition. If it’s not urgent for you to look for him, just wait.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Although she said that, Shan Yue was still a little worried. She left the venue and went to the back of the resting area. She roughly looked around and did not find any clues. After she walked around the school’s lounge, she still did not see Lin Xiao. Shan Yue could not help but feel suspicious.
Just as Shan Yue was wondering what to do, she suddenly found a note on her locker. There were only three simple words on it: Go for it.
From the handwriting, it was written by Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao knew that only Shan Yue had communicated with him when he left. If he did not go back for a long time, Shan Yue would definitely come out to look for him, so he left a note on Shan Yue’s cabinet in advance.
Shan Yue was a little puzzled. Who would he cheer for? Was it to encourage himself, or…
The sudden thought in her mind surprised Shan Yue. She immediately went to look for the teacher in charge of the Mathematics Department, but even the teacher had never seen Lin Xiao.
For a moment, Shan Yue didn’t know what to do. Another location came to mind. The cell phone depository. In order to prevent confusion, every phone was pasted with its name.
When Shan Yue arrived at the table where her phone was, she realized that the phone that should have been placed beside her phone had disappeared, and that phone happened to belong to Lin Xiao.
