47 Interview
She was sitting by the window. The sunlight streamed in and shone on her face, making her countenance look strangely pallid. She was peering down at the test paper on her desk, and only her eyelashes were moving.
Huo Jinyan retracted his gaze and stood by the podium, surveying the students from Class One who were doing the test.
Lin Ci glanced at Lu Ning, who did not appear quite alright.
“Little Ning, are you feeling unwell?”
!!
Lu Ning looked up at her. “I’m fine, the wound just hurts a little.”
Lin Ci peered at her forehead, and felt a pang in her chest. “After class, we’ll go to the infirmary and let your cousin have a look.”
Lu Ning’s reaction was a little delayed as she nodded.
She held a pen and prepared to write on the test paper, but the words on the test paper shifted around and were blurry.
Her surroundings were terrifyingly quiet.
Lu Ning had no idea when she fell asleep. When she awoke, she had been woken up by Lin Ci.
“Little Ning, Little Ning?”
Lu Ning looked at her in bewilderment.
“The class is over, we have to hand our tests in.”
The English class representative stood by her desk and looked at her.
Lu Ning looked at her test paper, lifted her pen, and casually circled a few answers for the multiple-choice questions. Then, she wrote her name and handed it over.
Lin Ci was still a little worried.
“Little Ning, let’s go see the school doctor again?”
Lu Ning waved her away. “It’s fine, I’m much better now, just a little dizzy. If I still don’t feel well after school, we’ll go.”
Lin Ci could not dissuade her, and simply nodded.
The bell signaling the start of the next class soon rang.
They had no time to continue quibbling about this.
Lin Ci and Lu Ning lived off-campus and did not need to attend evening self-study.
Lin Ci packed a pile of test papers into her bag.
“It’s only the first day, but the teachers are so ruthless. So many tests!”
As she grumbled, she turned to look at Lu Ning.
Lu Ning stared at the papers in a daze.
“Little Ning…”
Before she could continue, the phone in Lu Ning’s desk vibrated.
Lu Ning came to her senses and reached for her phone.
“Yeah, okay, I can go over. Okay, thanks.”
After hanging up, Lu Ning got up and packed her things.
Lin Ci looked at her. “You heading somewhere?”
Lu Ning nodded. “Yeah, I found a part-time job at the café opposite the school. I’m going for the interview later.”
“Part-time?”
Lin Ci was floored.
That’s right, she’s no longer the young lady of the Lù family who did not fret for food and dress.
She also heard that her family’s situation was not too good.
“Little Ning… will you be okay?”
Lu Ning finished packing her things and flashed her a smile. “Why wouldn’t I? Let’s go.”
Lin Ci looked at her back and could not help but sigh.
When the two of them reached the school gate, they suddenly bumped into Huo Jinyan.
It seemed that he had just left as well.
“Teacher Huo.”
“Teacher Huo.”
Huo Jinyan looked at them and nodded. Surprisingly, he asked, “Should I send you?”
As he spoke, a car came to a stop in front of them. It was the car Lin Ci saw in the morning.
“No need, we’ve called a taxi. Thank you, Teacher Huo.”
As soon as Lin Ci finished speaking, she received a call, and a taxi stopped not far away from them.
“Bye, Teacher Huo!”
Lin Ci pulled Lu Ning across the road.
“Little Ning!”
Lu Ning heard a familiar voice and looked around.
Across the road, Lu Zhi waved at her from atop his electric scooter.
“Dad.”
...
Lin Ci took the initiative and followed her across the road.
“Little Ning, what’s with your forehead?”
Before she could speak, Lu Zhi stood up and questioned her.
Lu Ning subconsciously raised her hand to touch it. She had forgotten all about this.
“Dad, I’ll tell you on the way back. This is my friend, Lin Ci.”
She turned to look at Lin Ci. “Little Ci, this is my dad.”
She introduced them candidly, but Lu Zhi was a little reserved.
“Hello, Uncle.”
Lu Zhi brushed the dirt off his body and was a little embarrassed. “Look at me, Uncle didn’t even change into clean clothes before coming. Sorry about that.”
