Chapter 40

Somebody is Getting Pranked

After class, Lu Ning continued to stare at her textbook for a long time, still unable to accept the fact that Huo Jinyan was going to be her teacher.

Why would Huo Jinyan, the only heir of the Huo Corporation, have time to be a teacher?

Being a teacher and educating students is good and all, but was Huo Jinyan such a selfless, good-natured person?

Besides, Old Master Huo won’t be pleased with this.

In conclusion, Huo Jinyan has definitely gone crazy!

“Stop staring. No matter how much you look at your notes they aren’t going to multiply. Give me your phone, let me play that game.”

Lin Ci had already regained her composure and was even itching to play games.

Lu Ning handed her the phone.

Lin Ci played it twice, and died in less than two minutes.

“Huh? The difficulty of this game’s different from what I played before. Did I get rusty? I didn’t die so quickly before.”

She stared at the screen in confusion for a long time.

Lu Ning watched from the side.

It seemed that Lu Jingzhi had increased the difficulty a little.

“Lin Ci, Teacher Liu is calling you.”

Lin Ci took a look at the language subject representative, then passed the phone to Lu Ning. “Play it for me; I’ll go take a look.”

Lu Ning nodded.

She tried the game. Having prior experience, Lu Ning was prepared for some unpredictable traps when she was playing, and successfully cleared the stage in one try.

Before she could quit, the little character on the screen spontaneously started hopping; every time it landed, a flower would sprout at its feet.

Lu Ning watched as it continued hopping a few hundred times, and eventually, the little flowers spelled some words out on the screen.

Happy First Day of School, Sister

Have Fun

Lu Ning could not help but giggle.

Before Lin Ci returned, she deleted all the games and the messages sent by Lu Jingzhi.

Lin Ci was very good at gaming. If she found the trick to clearing the level and saw this, Jingzhi would be done for.

After deleting it, she called Lu Jingzhi and asked him to send her a looping video.

When Lin Ci came back, she saw Lu Ning reading a book and asked curiously, “You didn’t play it?”

Lu Ning nodded. “Well, I’m not that good at games.”

Lin Ci sat down. “Right! I don’t believe I can’t clear it today!”

As soon as she took out her phone, the bell rang.

Lu Ning could not help but laugh when she saw her gradually becoming more cranky. “I’ll send it to you.”

She took out her phone and sent a copy of the game to Lin Ci.

Lin Ci could only silently put away her cell phone.

Teacher Liu walked in, a smile brimming on his face.

“The results of the last essay competition have just been released. Our classmate, Lin Ci, has obtained second place and brought recognition to our class! Everyone, let’s give her a round of applause.”

As he finished speaking the clapping began, and everyone turned towards Lin Ci.

Lin Ci tightened her brows slightly.

Lu Ning glanced at her.

Fortunately, even with such a mood the teacher did not plan to talk too much. After all, he still had to give his lesson.

“Remember to hand your holiday assignments in to the class representative. Now, open your textbooks…”

After the second period ended, a few girls came back during the break and could not help but grumble.

“She didn’t allow us to use the toilet, but insisted on making us go to the first floor. It’s so troublesome.”

“Shh, you’re saying too much. If they hear that you’ll get in trouble; it’s just a bit farther, take it as physical conditioning.”

“I wonder what they’re trying to do. Don’t tell me they’re pranking somebody again.”

“Shh, zip it. It’s none of our business, so don’t ask.”

…

Lin Ci was too busy gaming to pay attention to what they said.

Lu Ning was studying the photocopied images which Gu Chen had sent her and did not notice either.
