Lu Ning turned around and left, leaving Lù Yue’an standing by the wall in a daze.
After a while, everyone silently retreated. Clenching her fists, Lù Yue’an returned to the classroom when the bell rang.
Seeing that she was not her usual self when she came in, Lin Ci did not inquire much. After two classes, she made her rounds outside and roughly understood why.
She even heard that Lù Yue’an cried during class.
However, no one dared to talk about it in front of Lu Ning, and her classmates from Class 9 pretended to know nothing after they heard those rumors and returned to the classroom.
The third lesson was English. After the break, Huo Jinyan strode in.
However, he was only halfway through his lesson when someone suddenly knocked on the door to the classroom.
A few teachers stood at the door, looking at Huo Jinyan.
“Mr. Huo, my apologies. We have to call upon some of your students in order to understand something.”
Huo Jinyan looked at them. Before he could say anything, the teacher in the front pointed to a girl in the middle of the classroom. “Qian Qian, come here for a moment.”
Then, he looked in Lu Ning’s direction and barked, “You too, Lu Ning.”
Lu Ning was startled for a moment when she was abruptly called out. Then, she stood up and walked out.
Huo Jinyan watched her leave.
“Sorry to disturb you, Teacher Huo. Continue with your class.”
After they left with the two students, Huo Jinyan strode towards the podium; he placed his book on it, and looked down towards the class. “Self-study. Finish the remaining half of yesterday’s test paper.”
“Yes.”
The students below responded as one.
Huo Jinyan stepped down the podium and walked out.
“Hey, what do you think happened? Why were Qian Qian and Lu Ning called away? And even during Teacher Huffs class.”
“That’s right. If it wasn’t something pressing, they would have waited until class ended.”
“Exactly, and it looks like Teacher Huo doesn’t know either. He also went to take a look.”
“Shh, stop talking. We’ll be done for if Teacher Huo comes back.”
Lu Ning followed them into the staff office, and turned to look at the people standing there.
The air was thick with tension; it would certainly be a let-down if nothing were to happen.
“Qian Qian, come here.”
Qian Qian walked over as told.
A teacher pointed at a test paper on the desk before him. “Look at this test paper. Is it yours?
Qian Qian glanced at it and nodded. “Yes.” “Good, stand over here.”
Then, he looked at Lu Ning. “Come here too.”
He was rude, but Lu Ning paid it no heed. She walked over and looked at him.
That teacher pointed towards another test paper, looking at Lu Ning. “Is this your test paper?
Lu Ning lowered her gaze to take a look; she nodded when she caught a cursory glance of her name.
Seeing her nod, the teacher beside her immediately yelled, “Isn’t that right!
Teacher Shen, you saw it, she has admitted it herself. We didn’t coerce her.”
From a short distance away, Teacher Shen walked over and looked at Lu Ning. “Lu Ning, look at it carefully. Is this really your test paper?
Teacher Shen was the math teacher for Lu Ning’s class.
Lu Ning sensed that something was strange and took another look at the test paper in the teacher’s hand.
Against the light, the words on the other side of the paper were clearly visible.
Lu Ning frowned. She grabbed a corner of the test paper and flipped it; there were densely packed answers on the back. Then, she let go.
That teacher glowered at Lu Ning. “What else do you have to say? Lu Ning directly changed her account. “It’s not mine.”
At the least, she was not the one who answered the questions..
