181: You Can Understand Those?

You Can Understand Those?

Lin Ci watched as Lu Ning continued to work, and did not mention anything about what had just happened. She could not help but worry a bit.2

Sitting opposite Lu Jingzhi, she bent over and whispered, "Jingzhi, you think your sister's mad?"

Lu Jingzhi cast a glance at Lu Ning.

"Of course she's mad, but Brother's an idiot. Sister can't be bothered to argue with him."

After being taken aback for a moment, Lin Ci could not help but laugh.

Saying that in such a serious manner, it really did not match his age and appearance.

As Lin Ci laughed, she looked at the book in his hand and the test papers on the table.

A programming textbook? Third-year test papers?

Lin Ci peered up towards him.

Isn't this kid… five years old?

Lu Jingzhi noticed her gaze and glanced up at her. Then, he calmly continued reading under her uneasy gaze.

Lin Ci started to harbor serious doubts about life.

"You… can understand those?"

Lu Jingzhi looked up at her from his book, wearing the same expression that he would while looking at Lu Qing.

Lin Ci also felt that she said a little too much. After all, he would not be reading those if he could not understand them. However, she could not help but ask—she did not believe that a child like him knew how to read programming textbooks and do third-year papers.

In her impression, children his age should be stacking mud in kindergarten.

Immediately, Lin Ci's tone became humble. "Good sir, please continue with whatever you're doing. Don't mind me."

When Lu Jingzhi looked away, he spied Huo Jinyan walking in through the door.

Huo Jinyan was on the phone, his expression not looking too good.

"Young Master, something happened to the Second Master. Please, will you return for a bit? We really can't resolve it."

Frowning, Huo Jinyan glanced up and spotted Lu Ning behind the counter.

Huo Jinyan knew best the sort of person Huo Zheng was; he must have tried to pull something while he was not around, and gotten himself caught.

However, Huo Zheng was a member of the Huo family. He had always acted self-important, as though he was the biggest aside from Old Master Huo; and with his position in the Huo family, no one dared to offend him or interfere with what he wanted to do.

However, Huo Jinyan was the only one he was afraid of; only Huo Jinyan could suppress him. It seemed that it was no small matter this time, or they would not have bothered to look for Huo Jinyan.

Huo Jinyan stood in front of the counter and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll head back tonight."

Then, he hung up.

Lu Ning looked up and saw him. At the same time, from not far away, another person quickly shifted their gaze over.

Lu Ning eyed the distance between the two of them, and silently took two steps back.

At her actions, Huo Jinyan frowned slightly.

"Teacher Huo, the usual?"

Huo Jinyan looked at her and nodded.

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Lu Ning turned around to prepare the coffee.

"I have to head out this weekend."

When Lu Ning turned around to hand him the coffee, Huo Jinyan suddenly said this. Lu Ning froze, having been startled by him.

"Huh?"

If he wants to go out, so be it. Why would he have to tell me?

Lu Ning looked at Huo Jinyan in a daze, then nodded.

This time, Huo Jinyan did not stay put; he did not look like he wanted to find a seat. Lu Ning immediately helped him put it in a takeaway cup.

Watching Huo Jinyan turn around and leave, Lu Ning still did not understand why he said that.

Xiaowen leaned over to look at her. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were a couple."

"Huh?"

Xiaowen raised an eyebrow at her and said, "That gesture, isn't it typical of boyfriends reporting to their girlfriends? Telling her that he'll be away on a business trip, so that she won't worry."

Lu Ning was even more bewildered. "Girlfriend? Report? What's all that about? He's probably just worried that I'll slack off and not study for the next two days."
