Chapter 159: The Peculiar Yan Shen
On the other side, Ye Ting had suddenly lost interest in writing blessings after seeing Chu Ning writing at full speed.
After all, she had just been dealt a blow by Chu Ning the night before.
She simply tore up the note in her hand and ceased writing. There were so many blessings, they would not miss out one from Ye Ting.
It was not until the end of the last morning class that Chu Ning let out a sigh of relief.
Ever since Song Gui had told her about this matter that morning, the pen in Chu Ning’s hand had not stopped.
And when the teacher saw Chu Ning’s behavior, he did not say anything.
When she went to the cafeteria for lunch, Chu Ning saw Luo Yu sitting not far from her. She was about to carry the lunchbox to Luo Yu’s side when Yan Shen suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Let’s sit here,” he said calmly.
Chu Ning did not hesitate. She put down the lunchbox and sat down once more.
Yan Shen would not look for her if there was nothing bothering him. If he was looking for her, there must be a reason.
“Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?” Chu Ning asked as she ate the sweet and sour pork ribs in the lunchbox.
“I didn’t expect you to be so rich.” Yan Shen was also eating with his head lowered. However, his words surprised Chu Ning.
“Did I hear wrongly? Why do I feel that it’s unbelievable to hear you mention money? Would someone of your status care about this? You’re the future heir of the Yan Corporation. Money is just a string of numbers to you.”
Chu Ning asked curiously.
“I actually don’t care how much money you have. But it can reflect your ability. Chu Ning, you don’t give me the feeling that you’re a student. In some ways, you’re similar to my sister,” Yan Shen concluded.
“I’m not as unscrupulous as your sister,” she thought to herself.
“If I’m not a student, then what am I, a teacher?” Chu Ning deliberately said.
“I admit that I underestimated you in the past. You know that’s not what I meant.” Yan Shen shook his head and continued.
“Of course I know what you meant. Don’t tell me that I have to explain to you that I’m from another world?” Chu Ning thought helplessly. She did not know what Yan Shen meant by suddenly coming to say this to her today.
“I’m not sure.” Chu Ning did not intend to explain. There was no need for her to do so.
“Regarding the national physics competition in a few days, are you confident of winning the first prize?” Yan Shen suddenly changed the topic.
“I’m not too sure. After all, this is a national competition. With such a large scale, there will definitely be a few geniuses,” Chu Ning said after thinking for a while.
“Okay. I’ve finished eating. I’ll be leaving first.” Yan Shen picked up the lunchbox in his hand and left in a hurry.
In fact, he had not finished eating. There was still more than half of the food left in the lunchbox.
“Yan Shen, isn’t it a bad habit to waste food?” Chu Ning said loudly as she looked at Yan Shen’s back.
Yan Shen didn’t seem to hear Chu Ning’s voice, but his pace quickened slightly.
After walking out of the cafeteria, Yan Shen’s face remained very calm.
Yan Shen didn’t go to the classroom. He walked in the direction of the restroom.
After a moment, Yan Shen appeared in front of the mirror of the restroom’s sink.
His face abruptly flushed red in the mirror. Then, he coughed heavily a few times and, with his hand, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket to cover his mouth.
The bright red was like ink, quickly turning the handkerchief into a blood-red painting.
Yan Shen looked at himself in the mirror with a frown, his face pallid. As usual, he did not display any emotions.
He just carefully wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and rinsed his face with some water. Then, he wrapped the handkerchief and threw it into the trash can.
His personal doctor’s words from three days prior still left a deep impression on him.
“Did… did something happen to you recently?” At home, the personal doctor asked him.
“No,” Yan Shen said softly after hesitating for a moment.
“Uncle Ji, is there something wrong with my health?”
Yan Shen looked at his personal doctor. There was no doubt about Uncle Ji’s professional ability. Moreover, he had already given him physical examinations for more than ten years, but he had never questioned him like he did that day.
“Xiao Shen… I hope it’s a misjudgment.”
The personal doctor removed his glasses with a melancholic expression and wiped the corners of his eyes.
“I’ll tell you the results after I go back and look through the information again. Don’t worry, Xiao Shen, you’ll be fine.”
