Fan Yuan hooked the small gray scarf hanging on the tip of Gu Yang’s tail and took it off, helped Gu Yang smooth the messy hair on his tail rubbed by the coat, and then did he put the small scarf back on.

With no small scarf, the place where Gu Yang’s tail lacked hair was chilly. Now that he was wrapped in the small scarf again, he held Fan Yuan’s shoulders and heaved a sigh of relief, standing up from Fan Yuan’s legs.

The teacher in the front row had already reprimanded Meng Zhan and Li Ziyan, the students thought they were arguing in class.

Li Ziyan couldn’t expose his suffering, so he suppressed his wretched look, sat down very depressed, and glanced back secretly. He saw that Gu Yang had already stood back up, Fan Yuan was flipping through the book, both hands placed on the table, none in Gu Yang’s clothes, as if what he saw just now was just an illusion.

Gu Yang stood all morning, and Fan Yuan pulled back his table to accompany him all morning. If Gu Yang got tired from standing, he would secretly sit on Fan Yuan’s lap for a while, it wasn’t too difficult.

When it was lunch break, the two of them went to the storage room to eat, and deliberately stayed for a while, and came back right as the bell rang for class.

As soon as they came back, they found a dirty cloth bag on the table of the two of them. When they opened it, there were raw eggs wrapped in old newspapers.

“What’s going on here?”

Gu Yang held a raw egg in one hand and was puzzled.

Fan Yuan turned on his mobile phone and called up the surveillance video of the pinhole camera to check.

The monitor was adjusted to play what happened at noon. In the video, after the classroom was empty, a trembling figure slowly approached the table of two people.

When the figure got closer, Gu Yang could see the person’s face clearly.

It was the elder who came to collect the waste that day. The elder was still wearing a shabby padded jacket. She approached the table of the two of them nervously, put down the rag bag containing the eggs, and ran away in a panic.

“Is this… the feeling of guilt?” Gu Yang asked.

Fan Yuan turned off the surveillance video, and started looking for someone to check if any nearby jewelry stores received the sold small pearls.

After all, the small pearls that Gu Yang cried out were rare and easy to investigate. At the same time, he also asked someone to check the situation of the elder.

Gu Yang watched Fan Yuan complete all these, and asked him:

“Should we call the police? Or wait? I want to see what else she’s going to do? I feel…she’s starting to regret it.”

Fan Yuan glanced at Gu Yang and did not object.

In the afternoon Gu Yang returned to his seat, and Fan Yuan also moved the table back to the original place.

In the evening, Fan Yuan found someone to investigate the matter. There was no jewelry store nearby that received such rare pearls. The elder’s family was indeed in a difficult situation. Her son and daughter-in-law died early, leaving behind a sick grandson, eating was a problem.

Gu Yang looked at the results of the investigation and remained silent for a while.

Fan Yuan stretched out his hand and gently pinched the back of Gu Yang’s neck without disturbing him.

The two waited for another day. Afternoon on the third day of the pearl being stolen, there were a few more high-quality, crystal-clear pearls in the transparent glass bottle containing the fake pearls. They were the ones that had been lost.
