The office was silent, save for the sounds of their breathing.

Huo Jinyan watched her gentle movements. He could not see her face, only the top of her head.

She wore a ponytail today, which made her look even more playful.

He could not take his eyes off her.

However, each time he would only take a brief glance before looking away. He did not want to disturb Lu Nings emotions before he could confirm his own feelings.

However, what he did not know was that Lu Nings heart was already in a mess.

And at this moment, the way he looked at Lu Ning could not be considered gentlemanly.

Just looking at her and feeling her beside him made him want to hug her, even kiss her…

It was as if she was born with some kind of magic that drew him in, attracting him and making him not want to leave.

He did not know what to do. He did not even know what to think.

He was a decisive person, yet now he encountered a problem which he could not resolve.

He wanted to pull her in and hug her, but was the place which she belonged to really by his side?

Huo Jinyan had no choice but to think of her; he had no choice but want to hold her in his arms on a sudden impulse. But what would happen after that?

He could not bear to put her in danger.

He did not want her to suffer any hurt at all.

Yet, it seemed that every time she was injured, it was because of him.

Huo Jinyan’s mind was accustomed to making far too many important decisions, but this time, he was stumped.

He knew which choice was the best for her, but that choice made him resist…

The truest feelings in one’s heart could not be deceived.

It seemed, he truly fancied her. “Teacher Huo.’

Lu Ning suddenly spoke up.

Huo Jinyan watched as she slowly raised her head and met his eyes.

She seemed to have something to say, but when she looked at him, the emotions in her eyes appeared so complicated.

Time seemed to have stopped. Their breaths brushed each other’s faces.

In the end, Lu Ning did not say anything. She lowered her eyes slightly and thought to herself, Forget it.

Huo Jinyan watched as she got up. She looked over and simply said,

“Goodbye.”

Then, she turned around and left.

He was rooted to the spot.

She had something to sayjust now, right?

What was she trying to say?

Why did she not say anything?

Huo Jinyan looked down at his arm. The gauze had been changed again, and it looked neat and clean.

He frowned slightly, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Ningning…

Lu Ning stood outside the door and looked down at her feet.

The emotions in her chest overflowed—a teardrop fell from her eye and onto her shoe.

She could not suppress her indignation.

She did not even know why she felt wronged.

All she knew was that she felt very uncomfortable. She could not vent the stuffy emotions in her chest, making her feel suffocated.

Why is that?

Huo Jinyan, why…

When Lu Qing arrived, he was already familiar with the way and was headed straight for the rehearsal room. However, as soon as he walked in, he spotted Lu Ning coming out of the school building.

He walked over in confusion. “Why are you here…” Before he could finish speaking, he was stunned when he saw that Lu Nings eyes were tinged red.

He took two steps closer. “What’s wrong? Who bullied you?”

He looked up at the quiet school building.

Lu Ning did not say anything. She looked up at him as her tears fell.

She did not say anything, and her tears flowed down silently.

Lu Qing was in a panic. “Ningning, what’s wrong? Please tell me.”

Lu Ning shook her head. “I’m fine.”

She would not say anything, so Lu Qing was about to go into the school building when Lu Ning caught him.

Lu Qing turned around to look at her.

She looked at him almost pleadingly. “Don’t go.”

Lu Qing was stunned. He looked at her and did not try to go in..
