350: A Mission

A Mission

When Lu Ning went to school the next day, the topic about her on Weibo had already blown up.1

Lu Ning was feeling much better. She woke up early and went straight to the infirmary.

She sat obediently and let Gu Chen examine her.

Gu Chen raised his hand and patted her head in satisfaction. "You're almost fully recovered, but you still have to take your medicine. Don't get cocky, understand?"

"Got it."

Gu Zi looked at her. "Baby, I'm going back to Yizhou in a few days so you won't see me for a while."

Lu Ning looked at him. "Did something happen?"

Gu Chen replied on his behalf, "It's nothing. He has a mission."

Lu Ning looked at Gu Zi and smiled. "Good luck."

Gu Zi: "Yes!"

As they were talking, someone walked in from outside.

Li Nian closed the door and looked at the three of them. She turned to look at Gu Chen. "Teacher, do you have sleeping pills?"

Lu Ning looked at her and had a start.

She seemed to remember something.

"Is your name Li Nian?" Lu Ning stood up. She still remembered that Teacher Shen had called her that.

Li Nian looked at her and nodded.

"Thank you."

Li Nian smiled. "It's fine. The results should be in the afternoon. Good luck."

Lu Ning also smiled. "You too."

Li Nian then looked at Gu Chen. "So, Teacher, do you keep any sleeping pills here?"

Gu Zi looked at her. "Why do you need sleeping pills? That medicine's prohibited for students."

Li Nian did not say anything else and only said, "In that case, forget it."

She turned to look at Lu Ning. "If you're leaving as well, shall we go together?"

Lu Ning nodded. "Sure."

Gu Chen suddenly stopped her. "Wait."

The two of them stopped and turned around to look at him.

Gu Chen took out a small bag from the drawer, and there was a white pill in the transparent bag. He stepped over and handed it to Li Nian.

He said nothing.

Li Nian was stunned as she looked at him.

"Thanks."

Then, she looked at Lu Ning. "Let's go."

Lu Ning reacted a little slower. She glanced at Gu Chen before nodding and following Li Nian out.

Lu Ning walked beside Li Nian and watched her keep the bag in her pocket.

"Not sleeping well?"

Li Nian nodded.

"Try not to take too many sleeping pills."

Li Nian looked at her and smiled. "I have no choice."

Lu Ning was slightly shook. After a moment, she said, "My friend knows how to make herbal remedies for relaxation. Do you need them? I'll get some for you."

Li Nian looked at her and was silent for a while.

"Sure."

Lu Ning nodded and smiled. "I used them before, it's pretty effective. Just place it by your pillow, you don't have to take any medicine."

Li Nian smiled; this smile harbored a mix of complicated emotions. "It makes no difference either way."

Hearing this, Lu Ning was stunned and fell silent. She did not say anything else and did not ask further.

The two of them parted ways at the door. As soon as they walked in, Lu Ning could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the classroom was abnormal.

She smiled haplessly. No way, is there another post already?

She walked to her seat. Lin Ci was looking at her phone under the table, smiling as she looked at it.

Lu Ning was stunned. She obviously did not realize that she was here; Lu Ning bent down and looked at her phone screen.

"…"

She was replaying the video sent by @ACityBulletin.

Lu Ning raised her hand and patted her shoulder.

Lin Ci looked up at her.

"The person you're looking at is right here, yet you're not going to look at me, but a video of me?"

Lin Ci chuckled and looked at her. "The editing's done really well."

Lu Ning grinned helplessly before turning around and sitting down.

Lin Ci hurriedly added, "But it's still the person that's awesome! Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to make such an awesome video!"
