Thursday afternoon, right at mealtime.

The setting sun spilled onto the floor of the cafeteria entrance, creating a magnificent glow, somewhat resembling a golden palace.

At the small dining table in the cafeteria, Geng Lu was still undergoing training in An City and hadn't returned yet, so the originally 8-person small table had only 7 people left.

Sports student Tang Fu hastily took a few bites of food and ran off quickly, busy with something unknown.

The reticent Shang Caiwei ate silently.

So, the atmosphere at the table was mostly maintained by the twins and Bai Yuxia, but today Bai Yuxia had her eyebrows slightly furrowed since the afternoon, seemingly harboring some thoughts.

Xue Yuantong had a naturally optimistic personality, but in the past, she only showed this side in front of her mother and Chuchu, and remained silent and gloomy in front of outsiders.

For instance, in the past life, Jiang Ning always mistakenly thought that she was a weirdo with a strange personality.

Even when Xue Yuantong encountered something unfair, she would only fantasize in her mind about how to take revenge and torment the other party, but when meeting them in reality a second time, she still acted very cowardly.

Now it's different, because of Jiang Ning's influence, she has become much bolder than before, daring to argue with Jiang Ning at the small dining table.

"Hmph!" Xue Yuantong gripped her chopsticks, educating with her little mouth, "Can't you just let me have it? Will letting me have it make your meat less?"

Jiang Ning: "It really will."

Chen Siyu saw their chopsticks fiercely competing inside the food bowl, holding each other at an impasse, with neither willing to yield.

Ultimately, Jiang Ning won, taking the last piece of meat from the dry pot cauliflower.

Then he ate it with great relish in front of Xue Yuantong.

Xue Yuantong angrily took a deep sip of pumpkin soup.

After the meal, despite the quarrel, Xue Yuantong still picked up Jiang Ning's bowl and went to the sink outside to wash it.

Bai Yuxia's bowl was also taken by Chen Siyu and her sister because recently Chen Siyu had a favor to ask of Bai Yuxia.

After Shang Caiwei left, only Jiang Ning and Bai Yuxia were left at the dining table.

Jiang Ning tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Now that they're gone, can you tell me?"

Bai Yuxia's expression was clearly off, indicating something affecting her mood had happened.

Facing Jiang Ning's inquiry, Bai Yuxia smiled wryly: "My phone is lost."

This afternoon, when she came to school, her parents were busy and didn't drive her, so Bai Yuxia chose to take the bus, and upon arriving at school, found her phone missing.

Her phone wasn't a new model iPhone 6, but a 5S, yet in 2014, a 5S with 32GB memory was still worth over 3000 yuan.

More concerning than the price was the files.

Though iOS has iCloud, Bai Yuxia had many precious photos and videos that hadn't been synced to the cloud.

After losing the phone, finding it wasn't easy. She had no idea whether it was left on the bus or lost elsewhere. Thinking of the consequences of losing the phone, even Bai Yuxia, with her exceptional composure, couldn't help but feel troubled.

After listening, Jiang Ning asked, "Did you enable the Find My iPhone feature?"

iPhone has a lost feature.

Bai Yuxia: "Yes, I did."

Jiang Ning took out his phone, operated it to open Assistive Mode, then handed the phone to Bai Yuxia: "Enter your ID and password, and I'll try to locate it."

Bai Yuxia did exactly as told.

Indeed, a map appeared on the webpage, showing the real-time location of the phone.

"Let's start by calling it," Jiang Ning suggested.

Bai Yuxia dialed the number, trying to communicate, but the ringing had just started when it was immediately hung up.

Bai Yuxia wanted to try again, but Jiang Ning stopped her, "It's clear the other party doesn't intend to return it."

He took out his car keys, saying, "Let's take a trip."

Bai Yuxia was momentarily stunned, her eyes glinting with surprise: "Are you planning to go to the location to search for it?"

Jiang Ning didn't deny it: "Yes, the iPhone's battery life is too poor if we miss this chance and start tomorrow, the phone might be out of power and turned off — finding it would be impossible then."

He stood up, "There's no time to lose, let's get going."

Currently, it was after school with one hour left before evening study.

Bai Yuxia hesitated, even though she wanted to find her lost phone, such a swift action still made her slightly uncomfortable.

There was confusion about whether she could find the phone, and anxiety about unexpected events happening along the way.

Jiang Ning called out to Huang Yuzhu, who had just finished washing dishes nearby, "Yu Zhu, can you let Xue Yuantong know that I've left the campus for a bit?"

Huang Yuzhu immediately agreed, sitting at the table to pass on the message, honest and straightforward.

Jiang Ning picked up the car keys and left the campus supermarket's exit with Bai Yuxia, heading straight for the parking shed.

Bai Yuxia stood quietly under the ginkgo tree outside, waiting for him.

When Jiang Ning pushed his bike out, he noticed that students on the square were casting amazed looks at Bai Yuxia.

Bai Yuxia wore a white sweater jacket as pure as snow, appearing soft and fluffy, paired with high-waisted wide-leg pants, elegantly highlighting her long legs.

What was more captivating was she wore a side braid today, exuding a clear and otherworldly charm, perfectly showcasing the luminous simplicity of school days.

Jiang Ning rode a titanium gray electric bike, its flashy and cool lights drawing a dashing arc, stopping beside Bai Yuxia, and called out:

"Hop on."

At this moment, Jiang Ning could feel the envious and jealous gazes from the boys around.

Hearing this, Bai Yuxia, having made her decision, didn't hesitate anymore. She stepped on the pedal and got onto the electric bike.

Jiang Ning twisted the throttle, riding towards the school gate as students watched.

"Is he insane? Riding a bike on campus!" someone imagined his downfall, watching from afar.
