Chapter 37

In a Relationship?

Lu Ning could tell that Lin Ci did not like her at first.

When she first entered school, she was often surrounded by all kinds of people. At that time, Lin Ci was already her deskmate.

Neither of them were the talkative sort. In fact, the two of them, who had been deskmates for a couple of weeks, had not spoken a word with each other.

The first time they talked it was Lin Ci who spoke first. She looked at her and only said a single word, “Idiot.”

That was when Lu Ning had been surrounded by the most people.

Sometimes, those people would come to find Lu Ning during the breaks, and they would often occupy Lin Ci’s seat. Every time she came back and saw someone in her seat, she would frown impatiently. At first, Lu Ning did not know, nor notice, that Lin Ci would sit at the desk in the last row and stare at them.

Later, when Lu Ning realized, those people never sat in Lin Ci’s seat again.

Later on, the number of people surrounding her slowly decreased; and a semester later, after the holidays, no one came by again. It was then that Lin Ci officially began to talk to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning listened patiently like before, and she would only say a few words when she had to answer.

But Lin Ci did not mind; she gradually spoke more and more to her.

Lu Ning used to think she was an extremely impatient person and might be ill-tempered, since she often frowned.

However, after getting to know her better she realized she was the complete opposite, at least when with her.

Later on, as the two of them interacted for a long time, their relationship became better and better; and the two of them continued to be deskmates until their third year of high school.

…

When Lu Ning took out her phone, she saw what Lu Jingzhi had sent her.

It was a compressed file. After opening it, there appeared to be a few mini-games inside.

Lu Ning could not help but smile.

Lin Ci looked at her as if she had seen a ghost.

“What’s that, what are you laughing at?! Don’t tell me you’re in a relationship!”

When Lu Ning looked up at her, her smile had not disappeared.

Lin Ci was stunned by this smile.

It was happiness and affection that came from the bottom of her heart.

Lu Ning looked at her. “It’s my little brother, he shared some games with me. Want to try them?”

She knew that Lin Ci loved playing games; every time a new game was released she would talk her ear off chatting about it.

“Your little brother?”

As she asked, she took Lu Ning’s phone.

Lu Ning nodded. “Yes, I’ll introduce you to each other another day.”

Lin Ci nodded; only then did she recall that Lu Ning had returned to her biological parents’ house. She had two older brothers and a younger brother.

She glanced at Lu Ning’s expression. Compared to before, Lu Ning’s expression was livelier now.

It seemed that her biological parents were great, and her younger brother was very amicable.

Inwardly relieved, she shifted her attention to the game on Lu Ning’s phone.

She opened the game and was only at the start menu.

“Eh? This game… I’ve played it before.”

She was shocked.

“This, did your brother send this to you?”

Lu Ning was a little ambivalent, neither nodding or shaking her head. “Is there any issue?”

Lin Ci shook his head. “No, I’m just wondering how your brother knows about Aurora’s sharing forum.”

Lu Ning scrunched her brow, puzzled.

Lin Ci looked at her, speechless. “Sis, don’t tell me you don’t even know about Aurora? I often talk to you about it.”

“I know about Aurora. I just don’t know about that sharing forum you mentioned.”

Lin Ci immediately adjusted her posture and commenced lecture mode.

“About Aurora, I told you before that it’s a game company, and later on they also made computers. Their company employs many top programmers, designers, and developers; basically, each of them is worth a hundred people.”
