69 A Problem? Troublesome?
Lu Ning only wanted to escape.
“Can you please repeat that?”
The veins on Huo Jinyan’s forehead were bulging.
Is this really that hard to understand?!
Why is she so stupid?!
Lu Ning looked at Huo Jinyan’s impatient expression and wanted to giggle, but she held it in.
What is this? To think there can be such joy in pretending to be a stupid student.
She thought that she would be chased out, but Huo Jinyan actually continued to tutor her.
Under Huo Jinyan’s cold gaze, she finally got the question right.
“Is this correct, Teacher Huo?”
Huo Jinyan wanted to throw up his arms and celebrate after seeing it.
“Yes.”
Lu Ning pursed her lips and held back a chuckle.
This was a side of Huo Jinyan that she had never witnessed before.
Before she could bask in her happiness for more than a few seconds, Huo Jinyan spontaneously took out his phone and handed it to her.
Lu Ning looked at the phone in confusion, questions apparent on her face.
“Add your contact information. I’ll send you a few test papers.”
Lu Ning: “…”
Can I not add my number?
No way!
Huo Jinyan’s firm gaze answered her reluctance rather resolutely.
Lu Ning hesitantly added Huo Jinyan on WeChat, then glanced at him.
“Teacher Huo, do all the lower-ranking students have to be tutored like this? Why don’t I call them over?”
Before she could get up on her feet, Huo Jinyan said coolly, “Problems have to be solved one by one, troublesome as it is.”
Lu Ning: Me, a problem? Troublesome?
“Finish the test and go back.”
Lu Ning quickly sat back down and finished the rest of the questions.
“I’m done. Goodbye, Teacher Huo.”
With that, she fled.
Huo Jinyan glanced at her back as she bolted off, then looked back at the test paper she had completed.
Huo Jinyan arched his eyebrows as he looked at the answers at the back.
Talisman drawings?

Lu Ning was splayed across her desk, so exhausted as if she had just run a kilometer.
Lin Ci just arrived. Seeing her like this, she could not help but ask, “What’s happened? Called to the office again?”
She was making a wild guess, but Lu Ning nodded her head.
“Doesn’t it seem like Huo Jinyan is a little biased against you?”
Lu Ning nodded.
“What if we… Is there anything he’s afraid of?”
Lin Ci was stroking her chin, deep in thought, when Lu Ning said languidly.
“It’s useless. He’s a clean freak, but even though I puked all over him previously he’s still looking for me all the time.”
Lin Ci’s interest was piqued. “What?! You puked all over him? When?”
“Before school started.”
Lin Ci wanted to ask more, but Lu Ning was replying to messages on her phone.
“I don’t want to remember. I’ll tell you some other day.”
Lin Ci did not ask further, but she still felt that there was an issue with Huo Jinyan. “Why don’t we splash some paint on his car after school?”
Lu Ning turned to look at her. “That’s a little mean, although I like it. But I’m not free.”
It was a statement full of twists.
Lin Ci grinned at her. “Then I’ll wait until you get off work.”
“Not even after work. I’m interviewing for a tutoring job.”
“Huh, another interview? And who interviews for a tutor so late at night? Might be a bad person, I’ll go with you.”
Lu Ning looked at her and reassured her with a smile. “No, it’s a child I had taught in the past. Recently, he’s been looking for a tutor again; we know each other, and his family aren’t bad people.”
“Oh.” Lin Ci nodded. “But won’t you be tired from tutoring so late at night? Do you still have time to sleep? Little Ning, are you having any difficulties? Let me know how much you need, I might be able to help.”
Lu Ning smiled and patted her arm. “No, I only wanted to find something to do. Don’t worry.”
Although she said that, Lin Ci was still concerned.
