After work, Lu Qing picked Lu Jingzhi, and the two of them went to No. 1 High School to pick Lu Ning so they could discuss their trip to the capital tomorrow.
When the school bell rang, Lu Qing got out of the car and stood next to it, in case Lu Ning did not notice and missed them.
He had stood there for less than five minutes when he spotted Lu Ning with her bag, dashing from the building like a gust of wind.
She looked straight ahead and headed right to the café. She did not see Lu Qing, standing on the right of the school gate, at all. Lu Jingzhi opened the car door and called out.
“Sister!”
Only then, did Lu Ning stop and turn around to look.
Expectantly, she saw Lu Jingzhi hopping out from the car.
She immediately turned towards him, beaming. “Jingzhi! Why are you here?
Who brought you here?”
Lu Qing: “…” So I’m just air now?
It was only then that Lu Ning noticed Lu Qing.
“Get in, we’ll pack our things for tomorrow’s trip to the capital.”
Lu Ning patted Jingzhi’s head, then looked at him. “There’s no need, I’ve already packed my luggage. Bring Jingzhi home, I still have my part-time
work.”
Lu Qing looked up towards the café opposite.
Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ning suddenly looked towards the school.
However, she quickly turned around and squatted down to speak with Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Qing’s arm was suddenly grabbed by a familiar hand.
“Brother, let me explain. You can’t believe everything Sister Ning told you, it has nothing to do with me.”
Lu Qing turned around to look at Lu Yue’an, who was stuttering and looked anguished. He was at a loss.
“Explain what? What shouldn’t I believe?”
Looking at him, Lù Yue’an was startled for a moment. Then, she turned towards Lu Ning, who had just stood up.
Lu Ning looked at her, a hint of a smile on her lips.
Lù Yue’an scowled. She thought that Lu Ning had been talking about the cheating incident. She expected that Lu Ning would not say much about it, so she wanted to make a good impression in front of Lu Qing; at the very least, she could not let him listen to Lu Ning so one-sidedly, or he would believe whatever Lu Ning said.
However, she did not expect Lu Ning not to have said anything at all.
This time, it was her who did not know what to say.
Lu Qing looked at Lu Ning, then at LùYue’an.
Surrounded by schoolmates who were preparing to go home, Lù Yue’an bit her lip and looked at Lu Ning, seemingly aggrieved.
Perhaps it was best if Lu Ning did not say anything.
She had been the first to speak, so even if Lu Ning said something else Lu Qing would not believe everything she said. He would have to think carefully about their words, and consider who was telling the truth—that would be most advantageous for her.
Lù Yue’an looked down at her toes, her voice nasally.
“No, it’s nothing… It’s just that there was a misunderstanding… Sister Ning was very angry that morning, so I was afraid. Later, a classmate was called to the office regarding Sister Ning; I was worried and followed her. In the end, I was dragged into it… It’s nothing too serious, Brother, so don’t worry about it. If Sister Ning didn’t mention anything, then let’s just drop it…
She looked so troubled it was as if she was the victim, and she did not look like she wanted to drop it at all.
Lu Ning held Lu Jingzhi’s hand and sneered under her breath. She really did not want to watch her putting on an act in front of her; pulling Lu Jingzhi along, she was about to leave.
“Take your time.”
Before she left, she even said this to Lù Yue’an with a gaze full of mockery.
Lù Yue’an was shaken up when she saw her pulling Lu Jingzhi to the café across the road.
Lu Qing looked at them, then turned to look at Lù Yue’an.
“An’an, what do you mean? Little Ning was looking for you? Why would she?”
Lù Yue’an came back to her senses and looked at Lu Qing. “It’s nothing, Brother. Sister Ning didn’t really want to hit me, so don’t ask anymore!
Even while saying that she did not want him to ask more, every word of hers left more reason for him to keep asking..
