After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

65 Do as Your Position Entails

Although Lu Ning was suspicious of Huo Jinyan, Huo Jinyan did help her last night, so she still had to thank him.

Just as she was fretting about not having a chance to do so, the English class representative silently came over.

Kan Rou was rather introverted and did not like to speak loudly. When she came over, she saw Lu Ning standing by the window and staring out in a stupor; she hesitated for a long time before Lin Ci came back and helped her out.

“Eh? Why are you standing here?”

Lin Ci walked over and sat down, giving Kan Rou a dubious look.

Lu Ning came to her senses when she heard Lin Ci’s voice; she only noticed Kan Rou when she turned around.

Kan Rou kept looking at her, so Lu Ning asked gently, “Are you looking for me?”

Kan Rou nodded.

Lu Ning’s voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of frightening her.

“What is it?”

Kan Rou’s face instantly reddened. “Lu Ning, can you help us tell Teacher Huo… Well, he’s teaching too quickly; we, we can’t keep up…”

She instinctively glanced at Lu Ning’s expression.

Lin Ci found it strange. “Aren’t you the English class representative? Why have Ning do it?”

Kan Rou’s face turned even redder.

“They’re all afraid of Teacher Huo, so they asked me to go, but… I, I’m also afraid… But Lu Ning seems to know Teacher Huo, so, so…”

She lowered her head and did not continue.

“I-I’m sorry. It’s fine if you don’t want to go. I’ll go myself. I’ll…”

She spoke hesitantly.

“What’s there to be afraid of? He’s not going to gobble you up.”

Lin Ci could not help but poke fun at her.

Kan Rou’s face was red as a tomato.

Lu Ning stopped her. “It’s fine, I’ll go instead.”

Kan Rou immediately raised her head to look at Lu Ning as if she had been pardoned.

“Really?! Thank you, thank you!”

She even bowed to her in earnest.

Lu Ning rose and walked out. “You don’t have to be so polite, we’re all classmates here.”

However, Lin Ci refused to let her go.

“You’re really going?”

“Yeah.”

Lin Ci glanced at Kan Rou.

She actually did not like Kan Rou very much.

After being classmates for three years, she had never seen any improvement in Kan Rou’s personality. At first, she felt that she was just a little introverted and would help her if she could; however, she constantly used her personality as an excuse to get others to help her with things she could clearly do.

As time passed, Lin Ci started to dislike her and no longer helped her.

Lu Ning looked at her. “It’s fine, I happen to have something to discuss with Teacher Huo.”

Lin Ci looked at her before stepping aside.

Before she left, she even patted Kan Rou’s shoulder.

Kan Rou heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to return to her seat.

“Kan Rou, don’t use your shyness to coerce others into doing things for you. Settle your own matters, and do as your position entails; at least have the decency to understand these.”

Lin Ci did not look at her, and as soon as she finished speaking she continued watching the gaming commentary on her phone.

Kan Rou stood on the spot, her eyes red; she returned to her seat only after a long time.

——————

Lu Ning stood outside the teacher’s office and knocked twice before she heard a voice from inside.

“Enter.” The deep voice immediately revealed who it was.

Lu Ning opened the door and entered. Huo Jinyan was the only person in the office.

His gaze fell on her.

Lu Ning felt a chill run down her spine.

As she walked over, she could not help but sigh.

“Teacher Huo.”

Huo Jinyan looked at her and twirled the pen in his hand. He leaned back in his chair; it was a very normal thing to do, but he looked handsome doing it.

This was probably the first time Lu Ning looked at him so seriously.

Plus, he was sitting in an office wearing a suit. This combination alone gave off an austere and puritanical look.
