Sixth Brother stood behind Gu Chen awkwardly.
Lu Ning walked over and stretched her head out to look at him. Then, she looked at Gu Chen and Gu Zi; both of them avoided Lu Ning’s gaze.
“Didn’t you two say that only the two of you came?”
The two of them pretended not to hear her. Lu Ning turned to look at Sixth Brother.
“Sixth Brother, you tell me.”
Sixth Brother was startled. “Tell you what?”
Lu Ning dragged him out. “When did you arrive?”
Under Gu Chen and Gu Zi’s frantic glances, Sixth Brother slowly and hesitantly said, “Yes–… Yesterday.”
“Yesterday?”
Lu Ning clearly did not believe him.
Gu Chen quickly changed the topic. “Sixth Brother just made some snacks, do you want some?”
Lu Ning was surprised and spun around.
She was actually not someone who was easily swayed by food, but all the dishes and snacks that Sixth Brother made were unexpectedly delicious.
Sixth Brother used to be a chef and knew how to cook everything; moreover, his food was extremely tasty. After Lu Ning had his cooking a few times, she would subconsciously drool whenever she heard that he was cooking.
Sixth Brother made shumai and xiaolongbao today. They originally thought that Lu Ning would rest for a few more days before returning to class, so they did not expect her to return today, catching the three of them off guard.
“Tell me the truth, is there anyone else here besides Sixth Brother?”
Gu Chen and Gu Zi were about to speak when Lu Ning turned to look directly at Sixth Brother. “Sixth Brother, tell me.”
Sixth Brother was honest to a fault, so Lu Ning believed 100% of everything he said.
Sixth Brother received a look from Gu Chen, and then looked at Lu Ning; he tried not to shift his eyes from hers. “No, it’s just me. I just wanted to see you.” Lu Ning did not probe further and believed him just like that.
In the end, after asking what she had wanted to ask, Lu Ning left, cradling a box stuffed with shumai.
After she left, the three of them heaved a collective sigh of relief.
Sixth Brother patted his bosom. “Don’t you guys make me lie again next time, I feel like I let Boss down.”
Gu Zi looked at him with a crooked grin and wrapped an arm around his shoulder. “Didn’t you say it quite well, though? I’ll leave the job of lying to Baby to you in the future. After all, she’ll believe whatever you say.” Sixth Brother:
“M,lhy didn’t you tell Boss that everyone will be here in a few days?”
Gu Chen sat down and looked at him. “It’s a secret mission to begin with; she’ll feel burdened if she finds out. Anyway, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Sixth Brother nodded.
“Then do you still need me to protect Boss in secret?”
“Don’t you have another mission tomorrow? Have Ninth Brother come over,
Huo Jinyan’s found out about him anyvvay.”
“Then what about Huo Jinyan…
“We have another idea.”
Lu Ning met Huo Jinyan on the first floor, her bag slung over her shoulder and the box of shumai in her arms.
She was about to swallow the shumai she had in her mouth when she was startled.
Surely there’s no need for such a coincidence…
Huo Jinyan looked at her, and straight away reached for her bag.
Lu Ning: ?
She swallowed the food in her mouth and almost choked; hitting her chest twice, she managed to down it. “Teacher Huo, I can do it myself.” Huo Jinyan had already left.
Lu Ning could only chase after him.
“Why didn’t you rest for a few more days?”
Lu Ning carried the box of shumai and looked at Huo Jinyan. “I’m already much better now. I have to study hard, after all.”
Huo Jinyan wanted to laugh.
Lu Ning stared at him.
He held it in, and then looked down at the box in Lu Nings hands.
“Teacher Huo, do you… want some?
As she spoke, she took one out and extended it towards Huo Jinyan.
However, she was just being polite; no one would have guessed that Huo
Jinyan really took it.
