Chapter 45 - 45 A Devilish Smile

45 A Devilish Smile

From here, one would pass by all the classes from Class 1 to Class 8. As it was far from Class 9, she and her classmates would basically not go by this way.

Lu Ning deliberately delayed for some time; everyone would essentially be in their classrooms by this time.

As she climbed the stairs, she spotted a large puddle of water at the entrance of the washroom which had not been cleaned up.

Lu Ning’s gaze darkened as she surveyed the three classrooms on her left.

Class 1, Class 2, Class 3.

She inched forward slowly.

When she passed by Class 1, it was very quiet. The only sounds were the flipping of pages and the scribbling of pens. She peeked to her side, and saw that almost no one noticed her.

She continued walking.

There was quite a clamor coming from Class 2.

Lu Ning’s ears keenly picked up a specific name.

“An’an, your pencil case is so pretty; no way, is that diamond on it real?!”

Lù Yue’an smiled sheepishly. “Mommy bought it for me, so I’m not too sure either.”

“I’m so envious. Auntie treats you so well!”

“That’s right, that’s right! We’ve never seen Auntie send Lu Ning off before. Anyone could tell she wasn’t her real daughter.”

“Indeed, indeed. But look how well Auntie treats you, it makes us all so envious!”

Lù Yue’an knitted her eyebrows. “Don’t say that, Mommy was busier in the past; besides, Sister Ning is more reliable than me, so Mommy wasn’t so worried about her.”

“Independent? She’s a weirdo who ignores people talking to her. You’re the best, you’re so kind and gentle.”

“Exactly! Who’s she putting on that act for? But truly, there’s justice in this world—she was so smug and self-absorbed, so now all the good things she had were taken away from her. Serves her right!”

Actually, these words were also meant to feel her out.

One of the two girls standing in front of Lù Yue’an’s desk had shoulder-length hair, while the other had hers tied into two ponytails. They appeared indignant, as though Lu Ning had done something unspeakable to Lù Yue’an.

“The two of you aren’t in our class, right? We have to study. Classes are about to start, so go back to your class.”

A resolute voice interrupted them.

The girl with twintails smirked with disdain when she heard that. She spun around and was about to mock him when she was startled by the person standing at the door to Class 2.

“Lu… Lu Ning.”

The girl with long hair and a bandage on her forehead was none other than Lu Ning.

At this moment, she was standing at the door with one hand in her pocket. Her beautiful face was expressionless, her gaze as cold as ice.

She simply stared straight at them.

Startled, the girl with twintails reached out and tugged at the girl beside her.

“Huh, what’s…?”

When she turned around, she was also spooked to see Lu Ning.

The two of them looked at each other, shame apparent in their expressions, feeling as if she had completely seen through them.

The two of them blocked Lù Yue’an’s view. She found their behavior unnatural, so she stood up to look towards the door.

“Sister Ning?”

She was taken aback, and when she saw the bandage on her forehead her expression became one of innocence and heartache.

As Lu Ning observed her, her steely expression abruptly changed.

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she looked at Lù Yue’an with a slightly devilish gaze.

Without a word, she turned around and left.

The look in Lù Yue’an’s eyes instantly changed. She stared at the spot where Lu Ning had stood, then slowly turned her head around.

She feigned ignorance and looked at the two of them.

“What’s wrong?”

The two of them came back to their senses. “No, nothing.”

Lù Yue’an smiled sweetly. “Tian’tian, Ling’ling, didn’t you say you like this pencil case a lot? I’ll give it to you,. Mommy was afraid I’d lose it so she bought me two of them.”

As she spoke, she took out another from her bag and handed them out to the two of them.
