Lu Ning fished out her phone and replied to Shen Yunci’s messages. In her seat, she stared in boredom at the various test papers Huo Jinyan had sent her.
However, it was weird. Before, Huo Jinyan would only send her papers with basic questions, but recently, the papers he sent her were more and more difficult; they were no longer at the level which Lu Ning could understand.
She had a nagging feeling that Huo Jinyan might have realized her true level of understanding.
But I hadn’t done anything. How did he realize?
Is he deliberately testing me?
Lu Ning could not comprehend it, but she also could not be bothered to think about it.
At this moment, someone’s voice abruptly resounded in the hall.
Because it was very quiet and the place was s.p.a.cious, even the slightest sound would be extremely loud.
“What are you doing? I’m just going to the toilet.” “Go by yourself. Why are you pulling me along?”
“Hey, I’m not… The heck, why’s there so many people?”
“Stupid, don’t you see the compet.i.tion sign behind you? Be quiet.”
“Oh, right. So, is there a toilet here?”
He asked softly, but everyone heard him clearly.
A staff member promptly stepped forward. “Sirs, please be quiet during the compet.i.tion. If you need to go to the washroom, head out and turn left, you’ll see it on your right.”
“Okay, thanks so much!”
Just as the two of them were about to leave, a silver-haired man among them suddenly stopped in his tracks and shot a look towards a direction.
Lu Ning was simply idling about, but when she realized the voice was rather familiar, she turned around to take a look.
Seeing that she actually knew him, she was so startled her soul almost flew away.
Fortunately, she was wearing a cap. Otherwise, their eyes would have met when he turned around.
Lu Ning sensed his gaze and instantly turned back, pretending not to know him. However, she subconsciously draped the hood of her coat over her head.
“What’s wrong?”
The handsome, blonde-haired boy beside him could not help but ask. “Nothing. I just felt that the person there looks a little familiar.”
“Familiar, my a.s.s. Everyone looks familiar to you. Hurry it up, I’m about to burst!”
The two of them came and left noisily.
Hearing them leave, Lu Ning immediately sighed in relief.
It would be terrible if she was discovered.
She frantically pulled her face mask on and lowered her cap.
Thankfully, the compet.i.tion ended very soon. However, in the interim Lu Ning was unsettled and restless, afraid that they would return.
When Lu Jingzhi came out, Lu Ning immediately went up to him. She bent down and rubbed his cheeks. “Are you tired?”
Smiling, Lu Jingzhi shook his head. “I’m not. It’s very easy.”
The teacher followed over from behind.
“Jingzhi’s sister, you can bring Jingzhi back to rest first; the results will only be released in the afternoon. The questions this time are a little harder than in the previous years, so Jingzhi might be tired. I’ll call you when it’s time.”
Lu Ning nodded and glanced at Lu Jingzhi.
The two of them walked out.
Lu Ning kept looking around.
“Sister, are you hiding from someone?”
Lu Ning was astonished and could not help but laugh. “Sometimes I wish you weren’t so smart.”
Squatting down, she looked at Lu Jingzhi. “Anywhere you want to go? I’ll take you there.”
Lu Jingzhi looked at her. “Aren’t we going to hide anymore?”
Lu Ning took a deep breath. “Not anymore. Besides, if I really ran into them I won’t be able to hide anyway. Come, I’ll bring you somewhere to play.”
Lu Jingzhi smiled and nodded.
The two of them went back to the hotel to get their bags and some necessities before they initiated travel mode.
After Lu Ning split the routes according to what Lu Zhi and Shen Yunci had written in their notes, the two of them immediately set off.
However, she did not notice that someone had been observing them since they left the hotel…
