"I have only one class in the evening, I should head back and catch up on my sleep"
Zhou shi Hai shot a fierce glance at Lu Hong but didn't speak anything, soon Song Zi Sheng and Li Song Dong came running towards the place were Lu Hong and others are standing. Both of them stopped infront of Lu Hong breathing heavily as he bent slightly placing their hands on their knees. After stabilizing their breath Song Zi Sheng raised his head slightly and looked at Lu Hong and Zhou shi Hai their eyes filled with undeniable joy amd tiredness.
Li Song Dong was the first to blurred it out unable to contain his joy: Lu, I and Sheng didn't have any classes this morning. What about you?"
Lu Hong grinned widely as he remarked

Zhou shi Hai feeling a Tinge of embarrassment added
"I forgot to set an alarm last night's and almost missed the morning training, if it wasn't for Lu Hong to drow straight to my house to wake me up I would have been doomed today"
As soon as he completed talking a cold and authoritative voice came from behind
"Are you guys done talking"

"Hello, teacher Bu"
All four of them greeted her a faint blush appearing on their cheeks, Bu Zou Ling scanned the group as she spoke

It's not that he was afraid of Bu Zou Ling he just didn't want to waste his with Bu Zou Ling and only want to go back and sleep for a bit. After going back to dorm Lu Hong collapsed on to the bed with his hands wide open as if embracing the nature. A thought flashed into his mind as he sat up straight and looked at his three roommates asking
"Did you guys had breakfast?"
Zhou shi Hai who was about to walk into the restroom to wash up stopped in his tracks and looked at Lu Hong and shook his head. Li Song Dong first exchanged glances with Song Zi Sheng before shooking their heads in denial. Lu Hong stood up from his bed and addressed Zhou shi Hai,
"You can't go to class without eating anything you should go and take a shower first while I go and procured something to eat"
