Chapter 8: Refusing to Join the Team
Just when Lu Ning felt that she really couldn't bear it anymore, Qin Xiang arrived late.
Qin Xiang apologized as she ran: "I'm sorry, I was discussing the game with Sixth Brother and the others just now, and I accidentally forgot the time."
Lu Bei said calmly, "It's okay. You're doing your bit for the family, which is better than some ungrateful people."
The driver said gently: "It's okay, I'll drive faster later."
But in the end I was still late.
The two ran to the classroom door and were caught by the head teacher.
Qin Xiang's face was pale, and she gasped for breath. "I'm sorry, teacher. It's all my fault for wasting time, which caused Sister Ningning to be late as well."
Lu Ning frowned and said nothing.
The head teacher glanced at the two of them and said to Qin Xiang with a pleasant expression: "I understand. No need to explain so much. You can go in first."
"Thank you, teacher."
Lu Ning followed him inside, but the head teacher's stern voice reached her ears: "Lu Ning, don't drag your feet and implicate Qin Xiang in the future. This won't happen again!"
Lu Ning turned around and said, "Teacher, Qin Xiang made it very clear just now. It was she who caused me to be late."
"Alright, what kind of personality are you usually in? Do you think I don't know? If you keep trying to make excuses, you'll have to stand outside and go to class."
Lu Ning didn't want to miss the opportunity to attend the class, as she was already far behind.
She walked into the classroom in silence, in a bad mood.
She really wished the exam was sooner so she could get rid of them sooner.
During the lunch break.
There were many people around Qin Xiang, listening to her talk about the professional team, which made everyone very envious.
The little attendant looked at Lu Ning and said, "Some people are probably jealous of Xiangxiang, so they're deliberately delaying and being late."
Qin Xiang had a smile on her face, but she didn't explain any further.
Lu Ning lay on the table and took a nap, ignoring the group of people.
After school in the afternoon, Qin Xiang looked at Lu Ning with a pretentious expression, "I'm going to the training camp today, too."
Lu Ning quietly packed her textbooks and walked out of the classroom carrying her schoolbag.
Qin Xiang looked at Lu Ning's back with a look of triumph on his face.
She looked at her little follower and said, "Help me do today's homework as usual. Don't let the teacher find out."
"Don't worry about going to the training camp to pursue your dreams. We will definitely help you set up a good cover."
"Thank you. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Qin Xiang left happily. This time she must step on Lu Ning under her feet. She is the most qualified sister of the Lu family.
——
Lu Ning carried her schoolbag and went straight to the infirmary.
Ji Chiqian sat on the chair, his gentle face showing a hint of playfulness: "What's the matter?"
"Ahem, I'm here to do my homework, please take me in!"
Lu Ning walked in familiarly, as long as he didn't chase her away.
Ji Chiqian was surprised to see how familiar she was.
I thought she was timid and cowardly and didn't dare to come.
But when she asked Ji Chiqian a question, she was still scolded.
"Could your brain stop being like a funnel, leaking out as much as you put in?"
"Don't ask simple questions in the future, figure out how to solve them yourself."
Lu Ning didn't refute a single word and recorded everything obediently.
The room was quiet, and her stomach rumbled.
Lu Ning blushed. She had eaten a piece of bread, but she was still hungry.
Ji Chiqian glanced at the time and ordered a takeaway: "Eat first."
Lu Ning sat in front of him and saw the scar on the man's wrist. She couldn't help but ask, "When did you get into the car accident? Was it serious?"
Ji Chiqian silently opened the takeaway box and placed it on the table.
He looked at Lu Ning, his eyes misty, and said, "It's been many years."
"Me too. My parents also died in that car accident, leaving me and my brothers to depend on each other."
Lu Ning thought of her previous dependence on her brothers, and a hint of self-mockery flashed in her eyes.
After her parents passed away, she and her brothers went through a hard time for a while, but their relationship was very good at that time.
Everything has changed since Qin Xiang appeared.
Ji Chiqian clenched his chopsticks tightly: "So what are your plans now?"
"I plan to apply to Yunnan University, leave this city and start a new life."
"You're quite boastful. With your current grades, there's little hope of getting into Yunda University."
"There's still a lot of time left. I'll try my best."
Ji Chiqian's eyes fell on her, and finally he lowered his eyes, his voice cold: "Don't ask too simple questions in the future!"
Lu Ning smiled. Does that mean she can continue asking?
For several days in a row, Lu Ning stayed in the infirmary after school and did not leave until she finished her homework.
However, because of the training game, Qin Xiang started to be absent-minded in class during the day and even fell asleep.
Of course, as a student that the teacher liked, Qin Xiang just said that she was not feeling well, and the teacher didn't care anymore.
Lu Ning saw Qin Xiang showing off photos of the training camp on her WeChat Moments, as well as videos of her fighting alongside her brothers in the game. The names of their games were all of the same type.
The name is the same as in her previous life, except that she was not involved.
"You don't do your homework seriously, and you still want to play games?"
Ji Chiqian walked up to her and saw the game video on her phone.
Lu Ning shook her head: "No, I was just looking around. The most important thing for me right now is studying."
"If you can get into the top 100 in the monthly exam next week, you'll be allowed to play games."
Lu Ning raised her head and smiled, "Master, will you take me to play with you?"
She knew that Ji Chiqian also played this game.
Ji Chiqian half-lowered his eyebrows, but his profile was still handsome.
He said, "I haven't played for a long time. Let's play after you pass the exam."
"It's a deal."
Lu Ning looked at Ji Chiqian's back. She must get into the top 100. After all, Ji Chiqian looked like he was very capable.
She was also very good at playing games in her previous life.
Maybe then she could quietly surprise Ji Chiqian in the game and regain some of her self-esteem.
Lu Ning suddenly became a little excited.
She finished her homework and went home, but when she walked into the hall, she saw her second brother Lu Nanfeng sitting on the sofa.
She was startled. Why did he come back early?
Aren’t the brothers all in training camp these days and basically come back very late?
Lu Nanfeng looked up and said in a serious tone: "Where have you been? Why are you back so late?"
Lu Ning's heart was in suspense. She couldn't be discovered going to the infirmary to do her homework.
I don’t want to lose my last bit of quiet place.
She looked down at the ground and said, "I went to the study room outside. There are more people over there, and it's a better study atmosphere."
"Give me the schoolbag."
Lu Ning handed over her schoolbag and saw her second brother open her homework book, which was filled with dense notes and a book of wrong answers.
After reading it, Lu Nanfeng looked suspicious.
The housekeeper reported to him that Lu Ning had not returned on time in the past few days and no one knew where she had gone.
I didn't expect she was actually studying.
Lu Nanfeng put down his schoolbag and said, "Ningning, let's talk."
"Brother, what do you want to talk about?"
When Lu Nanfeng saw the quiet Lu Ning in front of him, he suddenly felt that she had changed a lot, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
If it were in the past, Lu Ning would have cried out of grievance and even complained.
But now she said nothing.
I always feel that Lu Ning is becoming more and more out of control.
Lu Nanfeng said, "Xiangxiang has made rapid progress recently. If you come with us to train, you will definitely improve as well. You are very talented, so you can spend less time at the training camp without affecting your studies. Wouldn't it be nice for our family to be together? Big brother will be very happy when he comes back and sees how harmonious we are."
Lu Ning lowered her head, her eyes filled with mockery.
She answered firmly: "I don't want to join the team."
"Lu Ning, Qin Xiang is a member of our family, and so are you. We should advance and retreat together, instead of ostracizing her like you did. After all, her father saved your life!"
Lu Nanfeng just didn't understand. He had given her so many opportunities, why didn't Lu Ning seize them?
They are so nice to Qin Xiang, isn't it to repay her kindness?
The hall was very quiet, and the stagnant air seemed to make Lu Ning unable to breathe.
She clenched her hands tightly, unable to bear it any longer.
Go to hell!
Lu Ning said sarcastically, "Second brother, will you only be satisfied if I give my life to Qin Xiang?"
