Chapter 67 - 67 I'm the Worst

67 I’m the Worst
She pretended not to have heard him when Huo Jinyan said, “Come back after school to finish it.”
——————
Seeing that she had arrived just in time with the bell, Lin Ci could not help but ask in a hushed voice, “What happened?”
After Lu Ning sat down she slumped over her desk, looking dispirited.
“Doing a test.”
Lin Ci was a little perplexed. “Doing a test?”
Lu Ning added, post-haste, “A parent-teacher meeting.”
“Huh?”
Lu Ning continued, “A home visit.”
“What!?”
Lin Ci was floored. To a student of this generation, those were the three worst disasters that could occur in a student’s life; and all three of them had befallen her good friend, in a span of a mere 20 minutes.
Before she could inquire further, the teacher had already entered the classroom.
Watching the listless Lu Ning, Lin Ci gave her a look full of empathy.
…
After school, Lu Ning rushed as fast as she could, as if being chased by a wolf. After quickly gathering her things, she dashed out and into the café opposite.
At this time, school had just ended. Since she got there quickly there were no customers yet.
Xiaowen looked at her and said, “There’s no need to be in such a rush.”
Lu Ning waved her hand. “It’s fine.”
The two of them prepared the ingredients for the signature drink at the counter.
After more than 10 minutes, the number of customers slowly picked up.
She worked for an hour straight before she was able to catch a breather.
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? Hurry up and eat.”
Lu Ning looked at her and wanted to say something.
Xiaowen spoke first. “Don’t worry about me. The boss hired another person; the new hire should be here soon. You can leave, go to class after you eat.”
Lu Ning nodded. “Thank you, Sister Xiaowen.”
“It’s fine. Go on.”
Lu Ning took off her apron and cap and walked out of the café.
A few girls standing at the school gate conscientiously turned away when they saw her coming out from the café, as if they did not see her at all.
Lu Ning did not bother herself with this. After crossing the road, she walked into the school and headed straight to the infirmary.
So hungry, so hungry, so hungry…
When Gu Zi and Gu Chen saw her, they quickly brought out the goods.
“Boss, the soup dumplings you ordered. Please enjoy.”
Lu Ning could not help but chuckle when she saw him like this. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
The soup dumplings were still warm.
“Have you two eaten?”
“Of course not. We wanted to wait for you to eat with us.”
Saying that, he took out two boxes of rice noodles from a cooler box.
The moment he opened the box, a delicious aroma filled the air. It was so fragrant that Lu Ning almost drooled.
Gu Chen looked at her and grinned. He took a bowl and portioned some of his to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning beamed with joy as she took it.
“Just let her be.”
As Gu Zi spoke, he picked out all the sausages in his and dropped them in Lu Ning’s bowl.
“Did Huo Jinyan look for you again?”
Lu Ning looked up, a dumpling in her mouth. “How did you know?”
“That classmate of yours came to get some medicine after school.”
“Lin Ci?”
Gu Chen nodded.
“What medicine? Is she sick?”
Gu Chen looked at her. “It’s not for herself, I think it’s for her grandfather. Don’t change the topic; why was Huo Jinyan looking for you?”
Lu Ning downed the dumpling in her mouth and said, “It’s nothing much. It’s just that my results are bad, so I was asked to do a test and bring my parents to meet with him.”
“He’s never been a teacher, but he sure knows a lot.”
Lu Ning looked at Gu Chen, unsure if he was being sardonic.
“You mean he’s targeting me?”
Gu Chen sneered at her, having expected a better response from her. “What else? Aren’t you the only lousy student in your class?”
“Not really, but I’m the worst.”
