Chapter 382: What Did You call Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ning turned around and could only see Huo Jinyan’s gloomy eyes. His eyes
were dark and cold, as if his entire being was devoid of emotion.
In fact, she had always thought so. When she had not yet met Huo Jinyan and only heard rumors about him, the first two times she met him she felt that Huo Jinyan did not experience much emotion.
She thought the days she spent in the LEI family without parental love had made her cold and unfeeling, but it was only when she met Huo Jinyan that she realized that her demeanor barely scratched the limits of such.
She did not know if he had experienced something to become like this, or if he had always been like this.
Perhaps it was because of the rumors, but when she saw Huo Jinyan, she began to be fearful of him. A person without feelings or emotions made Lu Ning uneasy.
And uneasiness triggered fear. She had to admit that she had certainly looked at Huo Jinyan with prejudice at the beginning; those terrifying rumors would surface in her mind over and over again when she saw his face.
However, these feelings diminished after Huo Jinyan became her form teacher. She would no longer think about the rumors about him and only looked at him directly, seeing him for who he is.
When she looked at him now, her mind was almost blank. She only thought that his eyes were really pretty.
Huo Jinyan led her to the infirmary.
Gu Zi was not around, while Gu Chen did not go back last night and simply stayed in the infirmary.
When the two of them entered, Gu Chen was still lying on the sofa.
Huo Jinyan closed the door and tapped on the brim of her hat. “Say something.”
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment before looking up. “Huh?”
Huo Jinyan’s gaze was gentle. “Never mind. I was just afraid you’d been scared silly.”
Lu Ning:
Lu Ning lowered her eyes and looked at his waist. She reached out and grabbed the corner of his shirt. Then, she froze.
She quietly retracted her hand and looked up at him. “Teacher Huo, are you alright? Did you get hurt just now?”
Huo Jinyan took off his mask and looked at her with his darkened eyes. “What did you call me?”
Lu Ning looked at him in confusion. “Teacher Huo.”
Huo Jinyan suddenly grabbed her arm. Lu Ning was startled and looked at him in confusion.
Huo Jinyan looked at her clear eyes and froze for a moment; then, he sighed.
He muttered, “Forget it.”
Lu Ning was taken aback again. What does that mean?
Forget it? Forget what?
Before she could figure it out, Huo Jinyan slowly let go and looked at her. “I’m fine, so are my wounds.”
Lu Ning: “Right.” She looked at him. “I’m fine too.”
Huo Jinyan seemed to be a little surprised that she would say this. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her, a smile on his lips.
Before Lu Ning could figure out what was so amusing, Lin Ci suddenly opened the door and entered.
“Ning’ning!”
The thing was, the door opened inwards. As she was too sudden and forceful, and Huo Jinyan was still at the doorway, Lin Ci ended up shoving Huo Jinyan forcefully as the door slammed into Huo Jinyan’s back, causing him to fall forward. Lu Ning also did not react in time when she saw him fall towards her and subconsciously raised her arms to catch him.
Before she could bring her hands up, Huo Jinyan fell on her and hugged her.
Coincidentally, her hand landed on Huo Jinyan’s abdomen.
Then, Lu Ning clearly heard a muffled groan by her ear.
When Lin Ci came in and saw this scene, she was stunned. Lu Ning was also stunned, but she quickly reacted.
“Gu Chen! Stop sleeping!”
