The girl's name was Sun Xiangxiang. She was a classmate of Xue Xing.
Normally, they barely spoke in class. Lately, however, she could only ever see him during lessons; he was nowhere to be found the rest of the time. So, as soon as class ended, she grabbed Guo Xiong by the sleeve to ask about Xue Xing's whereabouts.
It was the budding admiration of a young girl, though she probably hadn't realized it herself. All she knew was that she felt happy just being able to see him often at school. But with graduation approaching, the object of her affection was becoming harder and harder to find, and she finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Guo Xiong, let me ask you something. What's going on with Xue Xing? Ever since he came back from his leave, he seems like a completely different person. He's even cutting his meals short."
Guo Xiong was Xue Xing's best friend, so asking him was the right move.
