Chapter 520: Heart Disease
Lu Sheng looked down at the two of them from upstairs. She lowered her eyes and thought for a while. Then, she decided to let Jia Zheng and the rest scare them away.
She had no choice. Even she felt that this place was strange. She could not let these children come in and die.
Lu Sheng retracted her gaze and started giving orders to Jia Zheng and the rest.
“Don’t worry, Master. I’m most familiar with scaring people.”
Jia Zheng laughed weirdly and started his prank.
“Hah—”
Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the surrounding doors and windows suddenly opened. Then, there was a bang.
Chu Yan’s expression darkened while Pei Yan widened his eyes.
“Chu… Chu Yan, let’s… let’s go out quickly!”
His voice trembled and he did not dare to look around.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing that Chu Yan was still standing at his original spot, Pei Yan hurriedly pulled him out.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, the surroundings returned to normal.
Chu Yan stopped and turned back to look at the roof. His eyes were in deep thought.
“This place is indeed strange. It seems like those legends are not fake.”
Pei Yan wiped his cold sweat and mumbled.
He looked at Chu Yan and said, “Let’s go. If you’re really curious about this place, we can come over again in the morning.”
Chu Yan retracted his gaze and did not object. Instead, he returned to the dormitory with him.
After seeing them leave, Lu Sheng heaved a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, an invisible force pushed her forward and she accidentally fell.
Thankfully, she reacted quickly. She turned around and stepped on the guardrail of the fourth level with the tip of her foot. Then, she leaped up and returned to the roof.
She scanned her surroundings sharply, but did not discover anything.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
It was Lu Zhou.
She picked up the call, but her gaze was still scanning her surroundings.
“Disciple, have you gone to that school building to take a look?”
“I’m here.” Lu Sheng looked around warily and said in a low voice, “Master, there’s something strange here. I was pushed downstairs by a force just now.”
“Go back first. I’ll find you in a few days. Do what you have to do these few days. Don’t go to that school building again. I’m afraid you can’t deal with that thing alone.”
“Okay.”
Lu Sheng jumped down from the roof and landed on the ground.
She stood up and summoned Tan Jun, Jia Zheng, and the rest back before leaving.
When she returned, she called Lu Zhou again.
“Master, what’s inside?”
It seemed like they were not ordinary ghosts.
“No matter what it is, don’t go over before I meet you.”
Lu Sheng wanted to ask more, but Lu Zhou didn’t give her a chance.
Seeing that the call had been hung up, Lu Sheng sighed softly.
The next morning, Lu Sheng put on her military training clothes and met up with her cla.s.s.
However, the instructor scanned them and suddenly asked, “Who’s Jiang Jing?”
This instructor was very young. He looked to be only twenty-three or twenty-four years old. Although his skin was darker, his facial features were very upright.
Lu Sheng heard him introduce himself just now. He said that his surname was Luo and asked the cla.s.smates to call him Instructor Luo.
At first, Lu Sheng did not react. Later, she realized that her name was now ‘Jiang Jing.’
She hurried out and said lightly, “Instructor, I’m Jiang Jing.”
She had red lips and white teeth. When she wore the green military uniform, her skin looked fairer.
The male students in the front row stared at her for a long time.
Even the instructor was stunned for a moment before coughing lightly. He said in a loud voice, “You don’t have to undergo military training. Go back first.”
“Huh?”
Lu Sheng was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
The students looked at her enviously.
“Instructor, why can she not undergo military training?” a female cla.s.smate questioned defiantly.
Instructor Luo looked sternly at the female student and said in a deep voice, “You have to ask your form teacher, Teacher Li.”
At this moment, Teacher Li walked over.
She first smiled and nodded at the instructor. Then, she looked at everyone and said, “Cla.s.smate Jiang has heart disease. If any of you have the same illness as her, you can skip the military training.”
When the students heard that, their envy, jealousy, and hatred immediately turned to sympathy.
On the other hand, Lu Sheng was dumbfounded from the start to the end. She did not understand why she did not know about her heart disease?
“Jiang Jing, go back to the dormitory and rest first,” Teacher Li said kindly.
“Oh, thank you, Teacher!”
Although she did not know the reason, it was great that there was no military training.
Lu Sheng returned to the dormitory to wash up. She changed into casual clothes again and prepared to walk around.
The campus was filled with the sounds of military training. She could only walk around in the campus.
“Hey, Chu Yan, look. Isn’t that the junior who made you fall in love at first sight?”
Pei Yan, who was sitting by the window of the third floor cla.s.sroom, was looking down casually when a familiar slender figure suddenly entered his line of sight.
Chu Yan ignored him and put on his earphones to listen to music.
However, he could not help but glance to the side. Of course, with Pei Yan blocking him, he naturally could not see anything.
“Isn’t this junior a new student? Doesn’t she need military training?”
Pei Yan looked at Lu Sheng’s back and asked suspiciously.
“Cla.s.smate Pei, is the scenery downstairs good?”
The English teacher on the podium looked at Pei Yan and asked with a faint smile.
Pei Yan nodded seriously. “She’s quite good-looking. She’s prettier than you, Teacher Zeng.”
Zeng Yan rolled her eyes at him. “I left time for you so that you can memorize the words, not watch the scenery. If you can’t write them during the spelling test later, run three rounds at the field.”
Pei Yan’s eyes widened. “Teacher, you’re so good-looking. How can you be so vicious?”
Zeng Yan looked at him and said, “If you dare to say another word, I’ll let you see what true viciousness is.”
The students in the cla.s.s burst into laughter.
Lu Sheng happened to walk past the cla.s.sroom of Year Three Cla.s.s One in the corridor. When she heard the laughter, she turned her head and looked in.
Chu Yan had already noticed Lu Sheng when she reached the window. He did not expect her to look in.
The moment their gazes met, his heart jumped, but he did not look away.
Lu Sheng did not expect to b.u.mp into that youth just by walking past.
They were really fated.
She smiled secretly and retracted her gaze before leaving indifferently.
“What are you looking at?”
Zeng Yan glanced out of the window and retracted her gaze. She said to the male students who were still looking out the window, “No matter how much you look, she’s not yours.”
“Teacher, you’re in the wrong.” Pei Yan said, “This beauty is like beautiful jade. They’re pleasing to the eye. What’s wrong with looking at a beauty to cleanse our eyes, especially since we look at these alphabets every day?”
“Yes!”
The male cla.s.smates smiled and agreed.
“Stop spouting nonsense. Alright, continue memorizing the words.”
Chu Yan glanced at Pei Yan and frowned imperceptibly.
For some reason, he did not like others discussing about that girl.
He even wanted to beat Pei Yan up.
“Are you new here?”
Zeng Yan walked to his side. Seeing that he did not even open his textbook, she hurriedly reminded him, “Don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re handsome. In my cla.s.s, no matter how handsome you are, you’re not allowed to do anything else.”
When Chu Yan heard that, he took off his earpiece without saying anything.
The female cla.s.smates beside him looked at him shyly.
“Sigh—”
Pei Yan said with a sorrowful expression, “Back then, I was still the most handsome boy in school. Now that Chu Yan is here, not only am I not the most handsome boy in school, but I’m also not the most handsome boy in cla.s.s.”
The girls covered their mouths and giggled.
Zeng Yan glared at him angrily. She clapped her hands twice and attracted everyone’s attention. “There’s still five minutes before the spelling test starts. Everyone, buy time.”
“Student, which cla.s.s are you from? Why are you still loitering outside during cla.s.s?”
Lu Sheng was about to go downstairs when a bald middle-aged man walked over with his hands behind his back and shouted sternly.
Lu Sheng’s eyes darted around and she revealed an obedient smile. “h.e.l.lo, Teacher. I was about to use the bathroom.”
“Then come back early.”
The middle-aged man frowned at her before leaving.
Lu Sheng raised her eyebrows and went downstairs.
There were surveillance cameras everywhere, so she did not dare to do anything.
After a while, school ended.
Lu Sheng had already ordered the dishes and was eating in the dining hall.
After a while, the quiet dining hall gradually became lively.
When the students had finished ordering, Lu Sheng had already finished eating. She ordered a cup of pearl milk tea and prepared to return to the dormitory to watch a drama.
In the blink of an eye, a week had pa.s.sed and the military training was over.
The students wrote letters and sang. In the end, they even sent the instructor away with tears in their eyes.
Lu Sheng was the only one who stood at the back with an indifferent expression.
She called her master yesterday, and he said he would be here in two days. Then, he hung up.
“Alright, you have a day off today. Cla.s.s starts tomorrow.”
After collecting the textbooks, Teacher Li spoke to everyone before letting them disperse.
Cla.s.s officially started the next day.
After Lu Sheng finished her breakfast, she took the corresponding cla.s.s schedule and went to the cla.s.sroom.
She thought that she would be the first to arrive. Unexpectedly, when she entered the cla.s.sroom, there were already a few people sitting inside.
Those cla.s.smates gathered together during the military training, so they basically knew each other.
Only Lu Sheng did not know them. Seeing her enter, everyone glanced at her and went back to their work.
Lu Sheng found a seat by the window and sat down. Then, she took out her phone and started playing games.
Other than some students with good results, the rest of the students in this school were basically descendants of n.o.bles.
To put it bluntly, they were children from rich families.
Hence, the military training was not very strict. Most of the time, they trained in shady places. Hence, everyone’s skin color did not change much.
When it was past seven, the cla.s.s was almost full. Everyone sat in pairs, except for Lu Sheng.
She did not know if they did it on purpose or they did not dare to get close to her.
“Cla.s.smate, your name is Jiang Jing, right?”
A girl walked over and asked her with a smile.
Lu Sheng looked up and realized that this girl was the girl next door who had borrowed the bathroom from her previously.
“My name is Chen Yizhen. I live next door to you. I’ve been to your dormitory before.”
Lu Sheng nodded. “I know.”
Chen Yizhen said embarra.s.sedly, “No wonder the teacher asked you to stay in the same room alone. It’s because you’re sick. I thought you were relatives with Teacher Li.”
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and shook her head. “No.”
“Chen Yizhen, you have to be careful. She’s weak. If you scare her with your words, you might not be able to afford the compensation.”
The girl sitting beside Chen Yizhen spoke sarcastically.
Lu Sheng glanced at her and realized that it was the girl who questioned the instructor during the military training.
Seeing Lu Sheng look over, she rolled her eyes at her and turned around.
Chen Yizhen smiled awkwardly at Lu Sheng and explained, “That’s not what Zhu Ling meant. Don’t take it to heart.”
Lu Sheng’s gaze landed on Zhu Ling’s wrist and she understood immediately.
She was wearing a branded watch that cost more than a hundred thousand yuan.
It seemed like she was a pampered girl.
“Yes.”
Lu Sheng nodded at Chen Yizhen and continued playing games, waiting for the teacher to come over.
The first cla.s.s was Chinese. It was also Teacher Li’s cla.s.s.
She walked in with the teaching materials and smiled. “Let’s not attend cla.s.s first. Let’s choose the cla.s.s committee first. Has anyone been a cla.s.s committee member in junior high?”
“Teacher, I was the cla.s.s monitor in junior high before. I was also part of the most outstanding cla.s.s committee for three years.”
Zhu Ling stood up and smiled at Teacher Li.
Zhu Ling was quite good-looking. She was slender and tall, and her skin was quite fair. Although she was wearing a cheap school uniform, it could not conceal her n.o.ble aura.
A male cla.s.smate wanted to raise his hand, but seeing her stand up, he silently lowered it.
“Yes, not bad.”
Teacher Li nodded. “Then, Zhu Ling will temporarily be our cla.s.s monitor. Does anyone have any objections?”
“No objections!”
The students replied in unison.
Zhu Ling smiled and sat down.
“What about subject representatives?” Teacher Li scanned the surroundings and continued asking, “Are there any students with outstanding results in their single subjects?”
“Teacher, Chen Yizhen’s English is quite good.”
Zhu Ling pointed at Chen Yizhen.
Chen Yizhen was stunned. She shook her head nervously. “No, I… I’ve never been a subject representative!”
Teacher Li looked at Chen Yizhen and said, “Then, you’ll be the representative for the English cla.s.s.”
“Oh, alright, Teacher!”
Chen Yizhen looked at Zhu Ling and nodded.
Soon, the other representatives were chosen.
Of course, it was all temporary.
After all, good junior high school results did not mean good high school results.
Teacher Li glanced at Lu Sheng and realized that she was flipping through her textbook. She smiled faintly and retracted her gaze.
The first lesson ended under the lively atmosphere of the students.
After all, they were in the top cla.s.s. The learning atmosphere was different.
Even Zhu Ling was engrossed in her studies.
In the entire cla.s.s, only Lu Sheng and a few male students were idling.
Chen Yizhen wanted to turn back and talk to Lu Sheng a few times. However, in consideration of Zhu Ling’s att.i.tude, she looked at her hesitantly before turning back.
As for the male students, they wanted to talk to Lu Sheng. However, seeing her lower her head and ignoring them, they could only give up.
