Chapter 419: Ning’ning, Where Are You?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ning was not someone who would listen obediently.
After Huo Jinyan left, she pulled Gu Chen along with her and left as well.
Gu Chen could not dissuade her, so he left with her.
Lu Ning did not dare to go home either. She was afraid that she would bump into her parents if she went home at this time; when she looked in the mirror, she saw that she was in a terrible state.
She asked Gu Chen to take her straight back to school, but she could not go back to class either as Huo Jinyan was in the classroom.
So, the two of them went to the infirmary.
There was a bed in the infirmary. When Gu Chen arrived, he had Lu Ning lie down on the bed.
“I’m fine. I’ll just sit.”
Gu Chen pulled a long face. “Are you being disobedient? What did you say when you left Huo Jinyan’s house?”
Lu Ning: “…But I feel pretty alright.”
Gu Chen glared at her. “And who’s the doctor here?”
Lu Ning: “…You are.”
“Lie down and rest, or I’ll either go to the classroom and tell Huo Jinyan, or give Uncle and Auntie a call.”
Lu Ning:
“Huh, why have I never realized you were the type to snitch…”
Gu Chen was almost amused by her. He held back his laughter and looked at her with a straight face. “Go on now.”
Lu Ning stood up and walked to the back unwillingly. She had only taken two steps when her phone rang.
It was Shen Yunci.
Lu Ning cleared her throat before picking up the phone.
“Hello, Mommy.”
Shen Yunci was quite anxious on her end.
“Ningning, where are you? I can’t open the door to your room. Are you alright?”
Lu Ning hurriedly said, “I’m fine. I’m already at school.”
“Oh, you’re at school.” The other party heaved a sigh of relief.
“Why are you so early today? Mommy doesn’t even know you left.”
“I woke up early, so I came straight here without telling you. Sorry, Mommy, I made you anxious.”
“It’s alright. I’m just afraid something happened to you. What’s wrong with your door? It’s locked from the inside and we can’t open it. It scared me to death.’
“Maybe I accidentally locked it when I left. I left the spare key on the door frame, it should be able to open it.”
“Okay, then I’ll have your father try opening it. Alright, you pay attention in class. I’m hanging up. Stay safe.”
“Okay, bye, Mommy.”
After hanging up, Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief.
She seemed to be lying more and more smoothly now. She still felt a little guilty towards Shen Yunci and could not help but sigh again.
Gu Chen looked at her in silence. After a while, he called out to her, “If you can’t stand the pain, remember to call me. I’ll get you some painkillers.”
Lu Ning nodded.
She looked fine, but Gu Chen was worried. She had always been able to endure pain without showing it on her face; however, the stitches could not have hurt only a little…
Lu Ning obediently went to the bed in the back to rest.
As she did not sleep much last night, she became sleepy after lying down for a while. She did not even know when she fell asleep.
In her impression, she was still chatting with Lin Ci. After chatting for a while, she did not know anything else anymore.
Huo Jinyan came over after school at noon, his face also a little pale.
Gu Chen looked at him and could not help but shake his head.
He did not know what to say to these two people. The both of them were the type to bite the bullet and trudge on without showing it.
Huo Jinyan looked at him. “Is she safe alone at home? I should go get her.”
Huo Jinyan was a little worried. He had thought that Gu Chen would stay at home with Lu Ning.
Gu Chen pulled him to the back. “There’s no need.”
He pulled the curtains open, and Lu Ning was lying there on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Huo Jinyan was startled for a moment. Looking at her sleeping posture, he
could not help but smile.
“How’s her wound?”
