341: Caught a Cold

Caught a Cold

Huo Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at her with concern.1

"Have you taken some medicine?"

Lu Ning nodded and quickly raised her other hand to put some distance between them.

"Hurry up and go. You're injured, you can't afford to catch my cold."

Huo Jinyan looked at her helplessly, his shrouded eyes looking at her. He raised his hand and grabbed her wrist to support her. "I won't get infected so easily."

He was afraid that she would fall if he did not support her. How could he be at ease if she could not even walk steadily?

Lu Ning walked up while he pulled her up, and her other hand was still covering her mouth.

After going up, she quickly went into the classroom. She was wearing very thick clothes today, and she swayed when she ran, so she looked especially like a tottering penguin. Huo Jinyan stood behind her and could barely hold back a chuckle.

He also walked into the classroom.

Lin Ci spotted Lu Ning walking in and looked at her, puzzled.

Lu Ning squeezed into her seat and sat down. She was so tired that she had to take a couple of deep breaths; then, she began to take off her coat.

After taking off her coat, she felt a little easier, but she was still out of breath.

Lin Ci took her coat. "What's wrong? You seem so weak today."

Lu Ning looked at her and leaned back. "I caught a cold. I'll go hang my coat."

The rack for coats was at the back of the classroom.

Lu Ning was about to move when Lin Ci stopped her.

The bell rang right there and then.

"Pass it to me."

The boy in the back seat stretched out his hand.

Lin Ci handed it over.

"Help me hang Sister Ning's coat."

The message was transmitted along with the coat, traveling in a chain towards the back. As the students at the back were closer, they could stand up, hang the coat up, and sit back down in no time at all.

Lu Ning stashed her bag into her desk and leaned on it. She said feebly to her classmates around her, "Stay away from me, I don't want you to get infected by me."

After saying that, she suddenly remembered. "Oh right, I have a face mask. I should wear it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sat up straight and started rummaging through her bag for her face mask.

Finally, she found it and slowly put it on. She supported her chin with one hand to prevent herself from lying on the desk, and forced herself to stay awake.

Huo Jinyan glanced in Lu Ning's direction. After going through the last page, he closed the textbook and called for the class representative to go to the office and get the test papers.

When they received the test papers and distributed them, they frowned.

Recently, they were doing so many test papers they were feeling queasy.

They were all upset, but did not dare to say anything in front of Huo Jinyan.

Silently, they took the test paper and began to do it.

Lu Ning looked at the words on the test paper. They floated in front of her eyes, and she saw the test paper double into two tests.

Lin Ci looked at her worriedly, turning to glance at her as she did the questions.

Four of their classmates, seated in front and behind the two of them, seemed uncomfortable as they shuffled in their seats.

In the front seat: "Is Teacher Huo looking at us?"

"I don't know. We didn't do anything, right?"

"Shh, stop talking."

"…"

In the back seat: "Why has Teacher Huo been looking at us all this time?"

"He must be looking at you. I didn't do anything."

"I didn't do anything either!"

"Maybe your head's too low and he thinks you are looking at your notes. Act normal!"

"Fine, is this okay?"

"…"

…

Lu Ning looked at the English words fluttering before her eyes, and her pen feebly floated across the paper. She could not remember what she had written; she could only remember that after she was done, she could not remember anything else.

When the bell rang, Huo Jinyan slowly got up and glanced at Lu Ning, who had fallen asleep with her head propped up.

"Collect the papers."

Hearing this, the students in the last row began to pass their papers forward.

When it reached Lu Ning, Lin Ci picked the stack up from the person behind her.

Lu Ning's test paper was pressed under her elbow.
