Chapter 448 What is missing?
Xiong Yu'an hurriedly looked at the person who was still writing with their head down. She searched one seat at a time, looking at the open notebook to confirm if it was her handwriting.
The group leaders who were collecting homework had already passed the halfway point, and Xiong Yu'an had also circled the classroom once, like a fish that had lost its way, anxious and helpless.
Nobody is writing physics.
She was certain that she hadn't been deliberately hidden away; she didn't usually interact with anyone, let alone have any grudges against them.
The most likely explanation is that it was taken by someone, copied, and then buried in a pile of homework without being returned.
She wasn't talkative to begin with, but she hesitated and struggled in the aisle before finally walking towards the person whose seat was closest to hers. She only politely called out their name after the person had just finished writing a problem. When the person looked up, she asked:
Have you seen my physics homework?
"No."
Xiong Yu'an then turned to the next person, asking questions while carefully observing the corners of the books next to him to see if there were any familiar or extra items.
How would I know about your homework?
Her heart sank a little, and she turned to the side.
"Stop arguing!" The other person's annoyance was palpable; without even looking up, they continued writing with a loud scribbling sound.
Xiong Yu'an was taken aback for a moment, then said apologetically, "I'm sorry."
She was still searching when she heard the group leader in charge of her column say, "Xiong Yu'an, yours is incomplete! Where's Physics?"
Xiong Yu'an hurriedly went back: "I can't find it, wait for me..."
"Then take your time looking."
Xiong Yu'an breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then saw the group leader put the form he was holding onto the pile of assignments, and then write Xiong Yu'an's name on the list of those who had not submitted their assignments.
Xiong Yu'an was extremely anxious, but then his enthusiasm was dampened.
"I'll give it to you right away, please don't remember it. Also, you...you misspelled the name too."
The group leader stacked the various assignments together, separated by horizontal and vertical lines, picked them up, and left, saying, "I just know it's you."
"If you don't find it, I'll write it down. If you do find it, ask the class representative to cross it off."
The group leaders have already gone to the various class representatives, but there are no more students in the class who have finished their homework. Finding someone to do it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Xiong Yu'an ran to the class representative's office, hoping for a last chance—maybe someone would write it down and slip it inside?
"There are so many, how can I find them all? I have to carry them to the teacher." The class representative shook his head, put the list on the homework, and carried it all out.
Xiong Yu'an sat back down in his seat, looking distracted.
"Ring ring!"
After two classes, the math teacher, who was also the homeroom teacher, walked in with a cold face: "I'll teach the physics class this time."
She slammed a stack of test papers and homework onto the table, slapping it twice: "Look at what you've written! You don't do your math properly, and the physics is the same!"
"I was so embarrassed when the physics teacher told me. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Parents work hard and pay money to send you to school, just so you can come to school every day to copy something? Or do you not write anything at all?!"
The classroom was completely silent. The homeroom teacher scanned the students, picked up the list, and said, "Come on, tell me why you didn't write it down?"
She called out names one by one, and those whose names were called hung their heads and remained silent.
"Xiong Yu'an."
Xiong Yu'an shuddered slightly, slowly stood up, and looked at the teacher: "I...I wrote it."
The homeroom teacher was very dissatisfied: "If you didn't write it, you didn't write it. Why are you trying to argue? Where did you write it?"
"I..." Xiong Yu'an wanted to explain, but the words wouldn't come out.
Even if the reason that someone took it is true, it sounds like a ridiculous and clumsy lie.
If I tell them, will they believe me?
"Those who didn't do their math and physics homework today, or copied it, write it 10 times at home and hand it in tomorrow. Sit down and listen to the lesson."
The homeroom teacher delivered the verdict.
Xiong Yu felt empty and dejected.
Her notebook may be lost forever...
It's like having a piece of flesh peeled off your body and then thrown away somewhere.
Even if it's just a notebook, isn't it still your own?
Why did it just disappear like that?
It disappeared too cleanly, too suddenly, as if it had never existed at all.
Like an empty gift bag and a polar bear you never owned.
Even if you've tried, it doesn't prove its existence in the slightest.
Xiong Yu'an felt that his heart might not be empty; it was filled with yarn and lint, congested and irritated as if being pricked by fine needles, making his eyes sting.
If only I hadn't looked back.
That way... at least nothing will be lost.

As get out of class was about to end, the homeroom teacher said, "There's an extended interest question at the bottom. Do it. It's a group assignment of four people. Arrange it yourselves and hand it in tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked out of the classroom, and the students wailed in despair.
"This is such a hassle, what's the point of doing this?"
This question presents several complex formulas that are not covered in the curriculum. You need to choose one, learn about the famous person who invented the formula, analyze how the formula came about, then find some problems to solve using the formula, and finally explain how it can be applied in other areas.
"Come on, let's be a group."
"Do you want to join our group?"
The students held onto each other, but Xiong Yu'an did not make any move.
No one will come looking for her on their own initiative.
She had someone she wanted to find, but she knew there was no place for her there.
Until someone shouted, "Who hasn't formed a group yet? We're one person short!"
Xiong Yu'an turned around and silently raised his hand.
"Is there anyone else?" The other person frowned, looked around and asked, and when no one responded, continued, "Alright, alright, then come and join our group."
After Xiong Yu'an walked over, he said, "I'll be the group leader. I'll assign tasks. We'll choose this question, and I'll research this person's deeds and compile information."
The two people next to him weren't too happy: "This is the simplest one, you're quite good at arranging things."
"Why should I?"
"Each person is responsible for a part. I'm listing them in order of priority." The team leader continued to do things his own way, calling out names and giving instructions: "You're responsible for analyzing the formulas, Xiong Yu'an is responsible for finding problems, and then whoever is responsible for the final examples."
Upon hearing this, the two realized that although they weren't responsible for the most difficult and troublesome part, it still couldn't compare to the easiest part.
"I'd say I am, I want to do Part 1, you can choose the rest."
"I don't care, I'll only do the first part."
"Do it or don't, it's up to you. I've already given the order. If you don't do it, you'll all get scolded. Who's afraid of who?" The team leader turned and left.
"You think you're so great? Who do you think you are?" the two muttered as they left.
Xiong Yu'an felt a growing sense of anxiety and unease. Since things had come to this point, he could only follow the arrangements and do his part.
