94: Is She Really Stupid, or Is She Acting?

Is She Really Stupid, or Is She Acting?

After becoming a teacher, Huo Jinyan had really gotten into his role; and now, he began to truly appreciate how exactly problematic students were able to give their teacher headaches.2

Especially after getting close to Lu Ning; this one student alone gave him a migraine.

He felt that he must be out of his mind when he thought that Lu Ning was Z.

Looking at her grades, if she can't even understand English, how can she understand those complicated lines of code?

And her math grades are even worse.

Even dogs would shake their heads at it.

Huo Jinyan had a headache whenever he saw her grades. He had dragged her to tuition and had her read some books, but those books seemed to have been left in the trash. Her grades were very much unchanged, and she remained at the bottom of the list.

Yet, not only was she not flustered, she was even shameless about it.

Huo Jinyan had truly encountered an obstacle that he could not overcome in his life, and this obstacle was called Lu Ning.

Right now, it seemed clear that she did not have the intelligence to be Z.

Huo Jinyan was prepared to make his escape as soon as her former homeroom teacher came back from recuperation; teaching was too much of a headache.

He was about to put away Lu Ning's paper when the teacher next to him glanced over. "Mr. Huo, you're looking at Lu Ning's test papers again."

Huo Jinyan replied tersely as he closed the test paper.

The teacher opposite him took a sip of water and sat down, and could not help but say a few words.

"Lu Ning is such a strange child. Her grades have always been terrible, and the principal seems to have specially admitted her to our school in the beginning. The principal's usually such an upright person, so we always wondered why he would allow backdoor admissions such as this to happen…"

Huo Jinyan simply listened to their gossip without saying anything. He took a pen and was about to write something when he heard them continue.

"However, later on, we realized something about Lu Ning which was really weird. Sometimes, she didn't get any of the questions on a test correct; sometimes, she got some of them correct, but those were actually rather difficult questions. At that time, we wondered if she only liked doing difficult questions and didn't bother with those she felt were too simple.

"But then, there was once when she finished the paper and her answers were all wrong. So we realized that we were probably just thinking too much, she might have accidentally…"

Before she could finish, Huo Jinyan jumped to his feet, staring at her with his jet-black eyes, startling the teacher.

"What's wrong, Teacher Huo?"

Huo Jinyan asked, "Where can I see Lu Ning's previous test papers?"

"In, in the curriculum room… But some of the less important ones might've been tossed out and burned after so long. Say, Teacher Huo…"

He did not listen to her finish. Huo Jinyan turned around and promptly left.

He found it strange that Lu Ning could not remember some very simple questions even after doing them hundreds of times. Logically speaking, even a blockhead could solve the same question after all that, but Lu Ning insisted that she did not understand it.

Is she really so stupid that she can't understand it, or was it all just an act?!

When Huo Jinyan went to the curriculum room to look for Lu Ning's test papers, Lu Ning had just finished school and left for the café to work part-time.

The café was not too busy today, so she applied for leave and left an hour earlier, wanting to see Shen Yunci early. After all, she had gone late yesterday. She even bought a bouquet of flowers for Shen Yunci on the way there.

When she arrived at the hospital, she first went to the counter to make a medical deposit before heading to the ward.

When Shen Yunci saw her she immediately beamed with joy; then, she took the flowers from Lu Ning, which did not quite look like flowers.

"Ning'ning, what kind of flower is this?"
