Lu Ning immediately took the test paper and looked at it again.
There were two numbers marked in red.
She could not help but exclaim. His numerals were written better than mine.
99.
Lu Ning did not think there was anything wrong. She looked at Huo Jinyan. “Isn’t this score…”
Halfway through her sentence, she was stunned.
Oh no!
Oh no, oh no!
I’ve been exposed!
I’ve already been exposed for mathematics, and now even for English… !
Lu Ning was on the brink of tears as her gaze was fixated on the 99.
It was the day she had a bad cold. In a daze, she had answered all the questions seriously!
God help me! I’d totally forgotten all about it!
I even saw those words floating about in the air, so why did they still end up being written in the right place?!
Lu Ning covered her face with the test paper.
What do I do, what do I do!?
The person in front of her was an elite among elites—if he found out that she had deceived him, he might really hit her.
Lu Ning silently put down the test paper and looked at Huo Jinyan meekly.
Her eyes met Huo Jinyan’s straight on.
Lu Ning felt chills run down her spine. Then, she stopped pretending and brought the test paper down to look at Huo Jinyan.
“Teacher Huo, since you’ve realized it…”
“Looks like the results aren’t bad. We’ll have to continue with your tuition.”
He interrupted her mid-sentence; she peered up at Huo Jinyan, replaying what he had said in her mind.
“Huh?”
Then, she belatedly gaped.
Huo Jinyan dropped three thick books on the desk in front of her.
Lu Ning was shocked and reached for the book. “Why don’t these books have titles?”
The covers were white, without a single word on them.
“These aren’t books. These are assessment booklets.”
Lu Ning:
Her hand that was about to flip through the book instantly came to a pause. She felt as though she would be sucked in if she opened the book there and then.
Huo Jinyan could not help but smirk when he looked at her, but when she looked over he returned to his usual self.
Lu Ning said, “Teacher Huo, truth be told, I can get this score even without doing these questions.”
Huo Jinyan looked at her. “You shouldn’t get complacent. It’s better if you continue doing the papers and accumulate more experience.”
Lu Ning:
“That’s not it, Teacher Huo, I really…”
Before she could finish, Huo Jinyan suddenly stood up, and Lu Ning subconsciously took a step back.
“Let’s talk about it. I’ll just do the questions, alright? Don’t hit me.”
Huo Jinyan: ?
“Who told you I hit people?”
Lu Ning: “No, nobody did. I was just imagining things.”
Huo Jinyan placed the three books in her hands.
Lu Ning’s arm sank a little. It was quite heavy.
Huo Jinyan subconsciously wanted to reach for it, but when he saw that she had stabilized herself, he retracted his hand.
Lu Ning pursed her lips and looked at Huo Jinyan; without a word, she left. Halfway on the way back, she remembered something and walked back—and her handbag fell to the ground.
Lu Ning looked at Huo Jinyan and gritted her teeth. “Teacher Huo! Your coat!”
Huo Jinyan watched as she walked out and closed the door. He finally could not help but let out a chuckle.
She picked up the handbag on the ground, which contained his coat from last night.
When Li Run returned to the classroom, he was still feeling smug. He felt awesome, having escaped from Huo Jinyan without so much as a scratch.
When the people from Class 9 saw him returning with a grin plastered on his face, they surrounded him and asked, “What’s going on? Didn’t anything happen?”
Li Run crossed his legs. “Of course! Who do you think I am?! It seems this Teacher Huo isn’t that scary after all, he’s even quite gentle.”
The people around him looked at him. “Did you get scared silly? ‘Gentle’?
There’s no way Teacher Huo can be associated with this word!”
Li Run: “It’s true! I just rewrote my name and came back.. Sister Ning should be back soon as well, if you don’t believe me, then just ask… Uh..
