“Brother Lin Yi! It hurts!”
Lin Yi watched over her and patted her symbolically.
In the end, she cried out twice when Gu Chen adjusted her arm to and fro, and it was over.
“Done.”
Lù Yue’an:
Lin Yi:
Lin Ci could not help but laugh.
Lù Yue’an turned to glare at her. Lin Ci was not afraid of her, so she returned her gaze.
Lù Yue’an’s gaze quickly shifted to Lu Ning.
She sneered inwardly. Let’s see how long you can still stay comfortable.
Gu Zi stumbled over and blocked her line of sight.
“Student, are you fine now? If you are, pleaes go. We’re going to eat.”
Lin Yi glanced at him—he could practically see the words Get out ofhere impressed on his face.
Lin Yi raised his hand and pulled Lù Yue’an. “Let’s go.”
Lù Yue’an nodded and stood up.
Huo Jinyan looked at her back and could not help but frown. The way Li Yue’an looked at Lu Ning just now made him very uncomfortable.
Lu Ning’s cold came suddenly, and it did not get better. On the day of the competition, it did not get better either; instead, it was getting worse.
On the afternoon of the competition, Lu Ning did not intend to let Lu Jingzhi tag along for fear of infecting him with the cold.
However, Lu Jingzhi insisted on going and even said that he wanted to take care of her.
Lu Ning could not dissuade him, and she had certainly mentioned the competition to him first.
She was wearing a face mask the entire time.
Initially, there was only one person participating from the two classes which Teacher Shen led, but now, there was also Lu Ning.
On the way there, another girl from Class 8 could not help but look at Lu Ning curiously.
Lu Ning had been resting with her eyes closed and did not notice.
When they arrived, the sun shone down fiercely as they disembarked, and Lu Ning felt a little warmer.
When they walked in, Teacher Shen comforted Lu Ning. “It’s okay, Ning’ning. You’re unwell, so you just have to do all the questions. The ranking isn’t important. After all, this is your first time participating in a competition. Don’t be too stressed.”
Lu Ning nodded.
She handed Lu Jingzhi over to the teacher.
The teacher held Lu Jingzhi’s hand and stood outside the checking room, watching them enter.
Teacher Lang, who had just sent the students in, turned around and saw Lu Ning. He could not help but grimace and sneer.
Seeing her pass through the security checkpoint, he turned to look at Teacher Shen. “Teacher Shen, this is a math competition, it’s not a competition to see who can embarrass themselves more. Did you bring the last-place student here because you think our school’s win rate in recent years has been too high?”
Teacher Shen ignored him and held Lu Jingzhi’s hand as they sat in the waiting area.
Teacher Lang rolled his eyes, but then his gaze fell on Lu Jingzhi. He was a little surprised and stunned for a moment. Then, he walked over and pulled Lu Jingzhi’s mask off without asking.
Lu Jingzhi looked at him, displeased.
Teacher Shen hurriedly slapped his hand away.
“Teacher Lang, what are you doing!?”
Teacher Shen raised her hand to shield Lu Jingzhi.
Teacher Lang’s eyes lit up when he saw Lu Jingzhi.
“Isn’t this child the one who won first place in the previous competition?!”
He raised his hand excitedly and grabbed Lu Jingzhi’s shoulder. “Child, which school are you attending now?”
After asking, he seemed to have remembered something. “Yes, yes. It was written under the photo from then. You’re attending the affiliated elementary school of No. 1 High School, right?! Are your parents here?” Then, he immediately turned to look at Teacher Shen. “Teacher Shen, is this your child?”
Teacher Shen looked at his overly enthusiastic expression and could not help but feel even more frightened. She pulled Lu Jingzhi to the side and moved away from Teacher Lang.
“What do you want?”
