Chapter 63 - 63 Your Form Teacher
63 Your Form Teacher
Next morning, Lu Ning was woken up by the ringing of her phone.
It was already six o’clock. Lu Ning got up, washed up, and quietly walked out of the room.
She did not want to wake them, but when she got to the living room she found her parents and Lu Jingzhi sitting at the dining table.
?
The four of them were momentarily stunned as they looked at each other.
“Ning’ning, why are you up? You don’t have to go to school today. I had your father apply for leave for you from your form teacher.”
“Form teacher?”
Lu Zhi nodded. “That’s right. Last night, when you fainted, your form teacher helped you. When I first found out, I was amazed to see that he’s so young. I really didn’t expect him to be a form teacher.
“Later, when he sent us back, I got his number so that we could contact each other.”
Lu Ning: “…”
“What’s wrong, Ning’ning? Are you upset?”
“No, why didn’t you guys sleep in a little longer? Jingzhi doesn’t have to go to school so early.”
Shen Yunci smiled nonchalantly. “We’re old and don’t sleep much, so don’t you worry about us. Go back and sleep for a while, rest up more.”
Lu Ning shook her head and sat down. “I’m fine, I’m feeling much better. I can go to school.”
Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi were still a little worried.
However, Lu Ning’s complexion was really much better. Since she insisted on going, the two of them did not stop her.
The family of four went out together.
Lu Qing had not returned since last night.

Before they parted, Lu Ning gave Lu Jingzhi the calligraphy copybook she had chosen and told him to make time for practice.
Lu Zhi sent Lu Jingzhi off. Shen Yunci had wanted to send Lu Ning off, but her family insisted that she did not.
“Dad, I can ride back and forth by myself in the future. You don’t have to pick me up anymore.”
He was always exhausted after work, but he still had to take a detour to pick her up. Lu Ning felt bad about it and did not want Lu Zhi to fetch her again.
Without waiting for Lu Zhi’s answer, she got on her scooter and rode away.
…
Lu Ning rode her electric scooter to school.
There was a dedicated bike shed outside No. 1 High School for commuting students.
Coincidentally, just as Lu Ning was pushing her bike to the shed, Lù Yue’an alighted from their family car.
It was most crowded at this time of day. Lu Ning did not care about it, but even she did not like it when people kept gossiping about her behind her back.
Before she even walked out of the bike shed people were already whispering and murmuring about her.
Lu Ning pretended not to hear anything and turned towards the school.
“Oh my, how exciting. The adversaries cross paths with each other!”
“What do you think these two are feeling now?”
“Of course there’s a vast difference between heaven and earth.”
“If I were Lu Ning, I would definitely be upset if I used to take the car everyday and now it’s someone else in the passenger seat.”
“I don’t know how she can stomach it.”
“She’s strong-willed. I heard that the injury on her head is connected to Lù Yue’an. She’s hurt so badly, yet she still looks fine.”
“Really? I heard that someone saw her all drenched and even injured the other day. How could she put up with that?”
“What can she do other than accept it? She’s no longer some young lady from the Lù family. I heard that her real parents are dirt-poor; how can she bear having no power or influence?”
…
There was a commotion all around her; Lu Ning kept her eyes before her and headed straight to the infirmary.
Gu Zi yawned and stretched, looking extremely sleepy.
Gu Chen was donning a white coat when he turned around and saw Lu Ning open the door and enter.
“There you are. How do you feel?”
“Much better.”
