Chapter 158: In a Daze
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ever since Cheng Ling found out Lu Qi’s illness might be related to her parents, she had become even more concerned about Lu Qi’s illness. Every day, she would call or send WeChat messages to remind Lu Qi to take his medicine. At the same time, she would also remind Lu Xiu to keep an eye on Lu Qi, not to let him catch a cold and drink alcohol.
On this day, Lu Xiu received a WeChat message from Cheng Ling again. It was the same content every day, but Cheng Ling sent it every day.
“Lu Qi, have you noticed that Cheng Ling is a bit different recently?”
Lu Qi looked up from reading the document. “How is she different?”
“I don’t know. I just feel that she’s been a bit strange recently. It’s as if she’s very attentive to your health. And every time I see her, she’s lost in thought. Now she doesn’t even play with me anymore. I’m a bit lonely.”
“So my doctor is meant to make you feel less lonely?”
“No, that’s not what I meant. Anyway, I don’t think she’s as lively and happy as she used to be. Did something happen to Cheng Ling?”
Lu Qi put down the document and sighed. Actually, he wasn’t the only one who noticed that something was wrong with Cheng Ling recently.
Indeed, ever since Cheng Ling found that photo that night, her mood had been a bit off.
Although she still went to class as usual and prescribed medicine for him, he always felt that Cheng Ling had something on her mind.
She was always in a daze by herself. He didn’t know what had happened. He once asked Cheng Ling but she didn’t say anything. Cheng Ling had her own thoughts, so Lu Qi didn’t force her.
He shook his head and looked at Lu Xiu. “Don’t worry about this. You should worry about yourself.”
“What’s that about me?”
“I heard that your mother is looking for a wife for you.”
“She can look for one if she wants but whether to get married or not is my business.���
Speaking of this matter, Lu Xiu was angry. The topic naturally shifted away.
Cheng Ling, who was in school, had no idea that she had become the topic of the conversation of the two brothers of the Lu family. She was currently in the office.
Unknowingly, it was almost time for the 100th anniversary of Yuya First High school. When Chen Fang first asked her to be the English host, she did not agree to it. However, after being coaxed and persuaded, she finally agreed.
The male host was finally decided. It was Ding Yu.
The Chinese hosts were Cheng Xiao and Gu Nan.
Ever since the birthday banquet, Cheng Xiao had inexplicably kept a low profile. When she saw Cheng Ling, she no longer would run over to provoke her like previously. Instead, she lowered her head and tried her best to avoid Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling was enjoying this situation.
She did not want to cause trouble to Cheng Xiao. If Cheng Xiao had not kept pushing her luck, she would not have retaliated.
The four of them were in the office now. The teacher from the Department of Culture and Recreation was printing the drafts for them. As she was printing, she reminded them, “This year’s school anniversary celebration is a very important event. We have invited many big shots over. The four of you are the hosts of the entire event. You are also the representation of our Yuya First High School.”
Then, she looked at the four of them again. “The four of you are indeed handsome boys and beautiful girls. You will definitely not embarrass our school.”
Cheng Xiao smiled obediently and took her copy of the Chinese host’s draft.
“Don’t worry, Teacher. We will definitely not let you down.”
After they received their drafts, the teacher reminded them again, “There are still two weeks before the school anniversary. Take advantage of the free time of these two weeks to practice more. There will be two more rehearsals when the time comes.”
Cheng Ling was very grateful for the school anniversary, which diverted her attention.
The hosting manuscript was unusually long. As it was the 100th anniversary of Yuya First High School, the school had specially hired someone to write a gorgeous passage. When it was translated into English, there were many long and difficult new words. It looked bombastic.
Cheng Ling and Ding Yu had made an appointment to study this hosting manuscript after school, trying to learn all these new words. As long as they could read it smoothly, it would be fine.
Ever since the house was built at the back of the mountain of the Cheng family, Lu Qi rarely went back to work. Basically, he could finish his work at home with a computer.
As for Lu Xiu, he needed to run to and fro. The main reason was that he was concerned about Lu Qi. So he always came back to keep an eye on Lu Qi’s health condition.
After Lu Xiu told him about Cheng Ling, Lu Qi also felt that it was necessary to have a good chat with Cheng Ling.
So he sent a message to Cheng Ling, asking her to have dinner with him after school tonight.
