It was the calm before the storm.
At noon, Lu Ning went to the washroom alone.
On the way back from the washroom, an arm suddenly dragged her behind a corner.
Before she could react, a large hand covered her eyes. Lu Ning was about to struggle when suddenly caught a faint whiff of sandalwood; she was stunned.
Her eyes were covered in darkness, so she could only reach out and touch the hand in front of her. At the same time, she asked, “Teacher Huo?”
She wanted to peel his hand away, but he was strong, so Lu Ning gave up after trying twice. Her eyes were covered, and her hearing seemed to have become more sensitive.
His heavy breathing filled her ears, and she could even smell a trace of blood.
Lu Ning subconsciously felt that something was wrong. “Are you alright?”
As soon as she finished speaking, he suddenly pulled her in. Her back bumped into his arms, and she heard a muffled groan.
Lu Ning raised her hand to grab his arm. “Huo Jinyan, are you okay?”
But before she could answer, she suddenly heard footsteps and a familiar voice
looking for her.
“Ning’ning.”
Before Lu Ning could react, the hand on her eye loosened, and someone shoved her from behind. She was pushed out forcefully, and before she could look back, Shen Yunci grabbed her.
It happened to be around a corner, so Shen Yunci could not see the situation in there.
“Ning’ning, where did you go?”
Lu Ning blinked at her and took two steps forward. “What’s wrong, Mom? I’m fine. I just went to the washroom.”
Shen Yunci was relieved. “Oh, you scared me. I was a little worried when you hadn’t come back after so long.”
Lu Ning stopped in her tracks and looked at her with a smile. “What are you worried about? There’s nothing to worry about in school.”
Shen Yunci nodded. “Yes, I know. I’m just feeling nervous, I don’t know what’s going on.”
Lu Ning was about to pat her to reassure her, but when she brought her hand up, she spotted crimson smeared across her wrist. She immediately retracted her hand and placed it by her side, trying to not let it be discovered.
“I’m alright, aren’t I? It’s fine. Let’s go back together.”
“Okay!”
The two of them were about to return when they saw Shen Guang walking over.
Lu Ning could not help but sigh when she saw Shen Guang.
Shen Yunci turned to look at Lu Ning. “Is that your principal?”
Lu Ning nodded.
Shen Guang walked closer and looked at the two of them. “Ning’ning, I have something to tell you. Is it convenient with your mother around?”
Lu Ning peered at him—he asked this on purpose.
As expected, Shen Yunci immediately turned to look at Lu Ning. “What’s the matter?”
Lu Ning:
Lu Ning did not want to speak at all. She glared at Shen Guang, wishing that she could simply drag him off somewhere to disappear immediately.
Lu Ning did not answer, so Shen Guang answered for her first.
He rolled up his sleeves and turned to look at Shen Yunci. “Ning’ning’s mother, it’s like this. I want to discuss with Ning’ning about heading to the capital…”
Shen Yunci subconsciously paid attention to his movements. When she saw a small red mole on Shen Guang’s wrist, she was instantly stunned. Whatever he said after that became a little blurry and indistinct.
She looked up at Shen Guang’s face. It seemed to slowly overlap with the immature face in her memory.
After Shen Guang finished speaking, he did not notice any reaction from Shen Yunci. Together with Lu Ning, they looked at the stunned Shen Yunci.
“Mommy? Mom? What’s wrong?”
Lu Ning looked at Shen Yunci nervously. This was the first time she had seen Shen Yunci like this..
