Lin Jin learned from Shu Xiaolou what had happened at the academy. About the six-eye six-ear beast noticing his abduction, and Mr. Zhong's rescue team. When he heard how the teachers of the academy had come to save him, Lin Jin smiled and he felt a warmth in his heart.
He also heard about Yang Ming.
Shu Xiaolou was furious, declaring that she would deal with Yang Ming herself, but Lin Jin stopped her. After returning to the academy and asking around, Lin Jin learned that Yang Ming was currently missing.
The moment Lin Jin returned to the academy, many of the teachers approached him to ask about his well-being, and they all provided kind words of comfort. Shu Xiaolou remained by his side, but she refrained from revealing herself. She did this by hiding inside his house where she sneakily drank his tea.
Lin Jin figured the teachers' concerns were genuine but their intent to befriend Shu Xiaolou was also real.
