Translator: Atlas Studios????? Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ning looked at Huo Jinyan.
Is this really the HuoJinyan she had heard ofin the rumors?
Or is he just that good at pretending?
Lu Ning could not fathom it.
No matter what, Huo Jinyan was a dangerous person to her and she should avoid him at all costs. However, in this situation, there was no way she could stay away from him, and it had reached a stalemate.
When they went up the stairs, the two of them bumped into Lin Ci, who was coming out of the classroom.
Lin Ci was pleasantly surprised to see Lu Ning, but when she spotted Huo Jinyan she forcefully suppressed her facial expressions.
Following Lu Nings gaze, Lin Ci snatched Lu Nings bag over. “Teacher Huo, I’ll take it.”
Lu Ning quickly went beside Lin Ci. “Teacher Huo, we’ll go in first.”
With that, the two of them ran into the classroom.
Huo Jinvan watched Lu Nine as she ran in. His gaze was no longer as deeD and unfathomable as before.
Lu Ning handed the box to Lin Ci.
Lin Ci looked at the shumai inside. “For me?
Lu Ning smiled and nodded.
Lin Ci picked one up and had a bite. In an instant, her tastebuds were completely engulfed with a taste that could only be described as marvelous. “The f*ck! What the heck is this?! It’s simply too yummy!’
It was so delicious that she inadvertently spouted some colorful language.
Lu Ning looked at her behavior and chuckled. “Enjoy them slowly. If you want more I can help you request more.”
Lin Ci asked as she chowed down, “Request? Did your mother make it?”
Lu Ning put her bag away tidily. “No, it’s…” She paused for a moment, before saying, “A distant cousin.”
Lin Ci looked at her. “That distant cousin? I sure couldnt tell. I didn’t expect him to be as good at cooking as wielding a scalpel.” Lu Ning felt a little awkward. “No, it’s another one.”
“Huh? You still have another cousin?
Lu Ning nodded.
Somehow, Lin Ci did not bother to inquire about Gu Zi at all; he had a face which suggested he did not know how to cook.
Lin Ci did not ask any further as she ate, and enjoyed the delectable food in peace.
When she was done, she said, “Ningning, your cousins really are too amazing.
Your familys full of crouching tigers, hidden dragons!”
Lu Ning silently pondered about the other ‘distant cousins’.
Indeed, they were crouching tigers, hidden dragons.
When the bell for classes rang, Huo Jinyan strode in from outside. He always entered class on the bell.
As he walked in, the atmosphere in the classroom immediately changed; it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
From the podium, his gaze swept across the classroom before he finally looked out the door.
“Come in.”
Everyone in the classroom was surprised, and looked towards the classroom door in unison.
A boy in school uniform traipsed in from outside. He had his hands in his pockets, and his school uniform was loosely worn; his school bag had slipped to one side, and the stud in his left ear reflected a ray of sunlight.
His entire person looked sloppy, and the first impression he gave was of a bum.
Yet, that tace ot his made him ditticult to detest.
He stood beside the podium. Huo Jinyan looked at him and rapped on the podium table.
He walked over and chalked his name on the right side of the blackboard.
His writing was all over the place; fortunately, the two words were simple. Lin Yi.
He put the chalk back and looked at everyone with a smirk. “Lin Yi, please guide me in the future.”
His smile was so bright that the two girls in the front row could not help but giggle.
Lu Ning, who had been writing something in her notebook, raised her head and looked over.
When she saw Lin Yi standing by the podium, Lu Ning squinted to get a closer look, though that was all; then, she continued writing.
When Lin Yi turned around, he happened to miss Lu Nings gaze.
However, he met eyes with Lin Ci, and they were both astonished..
